Lots to catch up on–
Thank you for keeping our spirits up during this time when bastards at AI were using Adam and others to manipulate fans. I always have to remind myself it’s just a television show. They don’t care about talent, it’s all about casting the right people to pull in viewers. I don’t like Nikki any more than I do Howard Stern–but Howard has become my favorite AGT judge, and I would never believe I would say that!
I think Adam’s future is going to be in television and live performances. The television will pull in the younger demographic that he needs. He’d never going to be a teen heartthrob like Bieber, so he has to be seen as being really cool. PLL will help that. And with all of the attention he gets, I still believe AI will want to harness that for their show, either using him as a mentor, and certainly having him perform a couple of times during the season.
Been feeling pretty bummed this weekend coming to grips with the “reality” that Adam did not make the Idol panel..I really feel that they missed the opportunity to have one of the greatest judges out there but also a chance to make a large statement with having a former experienced contestant and an “openly gay man” involved with the show. The barriers need to be broken and he needs his chance to shine!!! He is one of a kind and really no one can equal him and his many talents. I may not have expressed my thoughts as sincerely as I feel, but life proceeds and on to the next Adam adventure–meanwhile saving my bucks for Queen and Adam!!!! HOPE–HOPE
I see Adam as a game-changer, much like Elvis, Beatles, etc. He needs to quit trying to fit into the “pop” world and make them fit into his. Adele proved that it can be done. She kept production simple, her themes were universal and heartfelt. She didn’t have to wear outrageous costumes like GaGa, autotune like Katy Perry, stage athletic performances like Pink. She’s won awards and her album has stayed at the top of the charts a long time.
When Adam first stated that she had inspired him on this second album, I was excited. I think part of the problem is that there are a lot of high profile producers who want to work with him and he hoped the collaborations would help make him a success. I think he should have gone with his original concept. I don’t want him sounding like every other song on the radio.
luval, if you compare the link you posted:
You can see the difference in the ending. That first one is the girl in the mask for me too……
I agree!
I finally got to watch my Kiev DVD and it was great. I did miss the Elmo jacket when the bass line for Dragon Attack came on.
rs, thank you so much for the message posted a couple of pages ago. We might, maybe, possibly go in the spring. Maybe. I’ll message you if we do! As you know, we have family there in 2 cities, actually 3, including your city!!!
I’m happy for the video winners. Some cute stuff there.
I am not worried at all about Adam.
The only thing I am worried about is moola for his yet to be announced tour, Queenbert, and travel to see my kids. This economy is a downer, not Adam’s career. And, that’s the reality for me , and maybe a lot of folks in the fandom.
I just have a feeling he’s got something cooking that he hasn’t talked about yet. He was so fricking happy, it had to be about something. If it was just Idol, maybe he’s going through a let down too. I still think he’ll have something to do with Idol. Maybe I’m delusional. Special mentor?
Wow! Just two days ago, it was 48,000.
Sina Weibo (Chinese: 新浪微博; pinyin: Xīnlàng Wēibó; literally “Sina Microblog”) is a Chinese microblogging (weibo) website. Akin to a hybrid of Twitter and Facebook, it is one of the most popular sites in China, in use by well over 30% of Internet users, with a similar market penetration that Twitter has established in the USA.[3] It was launched by SINA Corporation on 14 August 2009,[1] and has more than 300 million registered users as of February 2012. About 100 million messages are posted each day on Sina Weibo.
LOL, mils, did you see our fave hedgehog video won 2nd place in the Random category? The girl is from Brazil. I want to go watch all the winners and figure out what countries they are all from.
riskylady, I loved that video. It was just so cute, but kinda sassy at just the right moments. I also think Adam got it right with those brothers. I think the Michael Jackson sampling and choreo is what won it for them. Oh, and The Trespassing arm pose, hand at waist, elbows skewed. I think we saw that first at NNN awards. Right?
To bed. Early morning tomorrow.
Hey ya’all, I just watched Is This Love for prolly the 1,000 time. I just cannot get enough of this song. It relaxes my brain in a way I cannot describe.
Withya, mils – watched both versions.
This is an article from the Soundbath lady about the Hammersmith Queenbert shows…..its got some interesting bits in it.

Great article. HKfan Loved it! So much that I had to put my two cents in the comment section. I love this fandom!!
Luval I hope you tweeted that idol poll to Nigel @dizzyfeet. I totally agree with that poll. All that hype for what??????
Am definitely now a The Voice fan. Love me some Blake even though I’m so not a country music fan. XFactor has too much filler and nonsense sometimes. Have to dvr it and then fast forward thru the junk. Britney is the draw I guess but even my hubby who loves Britney and doesn’t like reality singing shows started watching XFactor because of her and said he’s disappointed with Britney as a judge, says she hasn’t aged well and actually likes Demi Lovato now. Says she is the best judge of the four. BTW he doesn’t even know her name. Calls her the “other girl”. 
I told him she actually sings pretty well unlike his girl Britney.
riskylady I was actually bummed about idol not hiring Adam, but I realize now that Adam’s freedom from idol allows Queen time to arrange a tour with Adam!! Fingers triplecrossed again.
The problem is, I clicked on the link Adam posted,last night, and got the girl with the mask. There was something lost in the links somewhere. This morning Adam’s link goes to the McEwan Bros. I am so glad they won.

This is so scary about smart phones and what hackers/computer whizzes cam do with your pics posted online. Please take note esp those with small children and grandchildren.

Pic of Adam at Hans Haveron’s studio – last night, I guess. I remember Hans tweeting an invitation to Sauli a couple of weeks ago – he really loves Sauli. Remember his story about meeting them when they came to his studio for a special piece of jewellry?
HK fan, thanks for the article of soundbath lady! That was one of the best reviews of London Queenbert shows I’ve read. And good links to the vids, some of which I had not seen before. I have to post the link of that review to some non-berts
Talking about deliveries, big thanks to rs for yours!
It came on Fri, I sent you email… And jlurk, congrats for your famous DVD clients 
Singer from UK and Bowie, whose next???!!! Queen Elisabeth II 
?
Thanks for the link to the Soundbath essay, cher. I was in the balcony the first night and have to say that the audience was definitely split: tall people pounding fists on the right and small people with video cameras on the left.
Maybe word spread fast after the first concert because the Queen fans at the front of the crowd on the second night said they were keeping an open mind. It was great to see them start singing Seven Seas of Rhye from the very first note. A lot of Queen fans wanted to know if we were just Adam fans or Queen fans as well. Hilarious chatting for nearly 2 hours before the show. I see the Hammersmith concerts as a great meeting of minds between fan bases. Queen fans are in a class of dedication that cannot be matched. Goes back decades. We’re working on it…
Now that we are re-focussed on Queenbert I will remind people that Doug, who stage-managed Adam’s pre-Glam Nation gigs, is now working on a Seal tour and tweeted about a month ago asking why Queen was booking venues in the US. He also asked “Who is going?”
They could be booking for a NA leg of the proposed Queen Extravaganza world tour but that event didn’t do tremendously well in NA – only the Canadian dates sold out and that was probably because 2 out of the 3 Freddies are Canadian.
Could be a Queenbert tour.
I have got nice time today watching all the winning vids of Trespassing contest and catching up after weekend away (thanks to my sore back I have to stay home and lay down). I appreciate and adore people who have time, energy and skills to do videos like that! Maybe it’s more natural to young people, to do them? They have grown up with that kind of technology. It’s good to see Adam also has younger fans but I would have liked to see also vids from 29 years olds!
I liked best all the videos in “best overall” category, the winner of “choreography” category (three young women dancing) and the winner of “message” category (school bullying story) and in “random” category the hedgehog Trespassing was so adorable and cute, I loooved it
Also appreciate those who sang the song themselves. Adam and Sauli really must have had fun weekend going through them all! I’d like to know the technique they used.. 
And the Idol judge news is final now. Thanks to all of you and other glamberts who have moved to positive path about it (glass half full). I loved the “reasons why Adam didn’t get into Idol judging”
I think it’s really the show’s loss, Adam will survive it. I don’t know if I have any interest in the show any more – it’s become quite boring past years. Too many music shows – Idol, X-factor and Voice, and we get them all Finnish AND U.S. versions! Plus at least two choir competition shows. Maybe I just watch Adam vids next season 
I have enjoyed AI (since season 4), because there’s so much better singers than in Finnish Idol. But past years I’ve become really fed up with winning WGWGs – there’s been some interesting female voices/personalities that I’ve liked, but voters seem to like guys… OTT Last season’s winner in Finland was an incredible voice, 17 years old girl who sang Beyonce, Whitney, Christina Aquilera etc. so well that they could stop the show here too after that. She is too good to stay here, hope she gets abroad. I read Beyonce’s singing teacher had contacted her…

Wow, Adam’s new avi in twitter
So handsome with fierce look!

And so it begins …
Wonder if Nigel/Fox are already regretting their
absurdastute decision making?Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey Already At Each Other’s Throats
http://www.tmz.com/2012/09/17/nicki-and-mariah/?adid=hero5
Brian May and Roger Taylor, may have written some new material, with the Queen signature sound, but updated some. This, if true has to have been his inspired, by their beloved muse Adam.
They are both in their 60’s, but that is the new 40, right?
I do believe the Brits, would be all over this, and embrace it. The world would follow.
Any exposure for Adam, and his unearthly voice, and performance mastering, could only enhance is solo career.
I could easily see this happening.
Also, Superbowl?
I have the feeling, Nigel loves a good train wreck!
He thrives on a bit of controversy.
Just imagine Nigel in the background, rubbing his hands together, with an evil grin on his face?
I’ve been ruminating about whether they will continue the Idol tours. Was at the Verizon Center in D.C. in 2009 to see the S8 people – had to pay over $200 to get a decent seat and the huge place was packed and wildly enthusiastic. Don’t see anything remotely like that now if judging by the lack of posts on the last few tours. Are there stats anywhere to see what’s going on or are they held close to the vest by Idol?
Loved that SoundBath article – made me feel really good.
ultimathule, the Idol tour stats can be found on wikipedia.
Here’s a quick rundown of some of those numbers from Season 7 to 11.
Total Gross
Season 7 – $29,906,507 (53 shows)
Season 8 – $30,139,328 (52 shows)
Season 9 – $9,600,000 (Estimated by Pollstar)
Season 10 – $22,002,464 (49 shows)
Season 11 – $12,408,877 (27 of 35 shows, 8 shows not yet reported)
Total Attendance
Season 7 – 493,296 (ave. 9,307 (85.1%) )
Season 8 – 484,434 (ave. 9,316 (86%) )
Season 9 – Not reported (ave. 6057)
Season 10 – 403,695 (ave. 8,589 (97.0%)
Season 11 – 219,039 (ave. 7,723 (87%) – 8 shows not reported)
After Season 9, they reduced the venue sizes so the tickets sold percentage seems in line or better than previous seasons. Actual attendance was down though. These Idol concerts are relatively inexpensive to put on – no big names to pay, no elaborate stage sets, no special diva requirements – so I figure that they will continue to have them as long as there is Idol.
More details in the wiki entries for the concerts.
Season 8 for example:

Thanks very much, AL – and, yes, cheap to put on and good advertising – makes sense.
I knew that I knew this jacket but didn’t bother to look for pictures since I wasn’t sure where he had worn it. Here it is at the G.A.Y. performance (taken from that soundbath article)
http://soundbath.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/622113843.jpg?w=640
and here at the Blonds show
http://adam-pictures.com/albums/9/The%20Blonds%20Spring%202013%20show/MQ/normal_91.jpg
The boy took the bottom of the sleeves off!
You could see this because there were some strings at the sleeve edge.
Your right, nkd. I thought the sleeves were pushed up at the Blondes show.
Adam, cheri, I totally understand your need to mess with your clothes.
BUT this was a very nice jacket, well tailored and well-constructed. It deserved better than to have the sleeves hacked off with scissors.
I know for a fact that there are tailors in Los Angeles who could have achieved this look for you and retained the integrity of the jacket.
Next time, check the yellow pages. (Yes, there is an app for that.)
Just sayin’
He can always put them back with the help of some velcro.
Duck/Duct tape would actually do nicely – sorta match, too.
Serious, zippers. Duct tape – trespassing colors.
That Soundbath essay was amazing. Kept me riveted like a suspense novel. Brought tears to my eyes in parts.
Yes it was luval! I have been engrossed in Queenbert vids ever since. I now have my DVD playing!!!
Almost time for I Want to Break Free.
Picture showing threads.
http://adam-pictures.com/displayimage.php?pid=26781&fullsize=1
Hmmm…not loving that photo. Adam looks like a store mannequin. Too much makeup. He’s in there somewhere, though.
I have a feeling he may have bought the jacket with short sleeves. I remember seeing the Juun line and seeing jackets with unusual cuts, lengths, etc.
I wonder if Mariah and Nicki will cannibalize each other, fight so badly that one gets fired? Or, if they can’t get out of their contracts, the whole show will be about them.
TeeHee, they could bring in Adam to show the world how a gentleman behaves.
Loved the article. Not loving the mannnequin.
LOL. I love the mannequin. Not the paint.
hahaha I love the mannequin! Still think Adam loves loves loves wearing all the makeup. It’s who he is. I like it! Still want the dark hair, though.
(How many times am I going to say this!).
I was thinking today similar to what you said mils…that one of those biotches will have a fit, walk out & they have to bring in a backup.
For all of those who read the Soundbath article, remember the part where she started singing while in the queue and made the rude Queen fans cry? Well, it wasn’t easy (a YouTube search didn’t bring her up, but Google brought up ONE video) but here is Angelina Kalahari singing. J.F.C. HER VOICE IS GORGEOUS!!!! She has a silvery tone, and her lower register is not heavy as in so many sopranos. Can’t imagine why there aren’t more videos…..I would LOVE to hear her sing the song she says she sang that day, as I didn’t like anyone else’s voice because of the weighty lower register….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARj4nmP26kY
The point of the picture was the threads hanging from the edge of the sleeves!
As for the heavy make-up, it was the Blonds show. Adam looked mild compared to some that were there!
I liked the hair lighter like in the picture at the top of the thread more than this salt&pepper/grecian formula look.
For me, Adam can go from naked to covered in 40 layers of makeup and/or clothes and I will love him all the same. Just sayin’…..(well, maybe a little more naked
)
Even his poncho. It was a lark, a drag queen contest, and had sentimental value from another drag queen he was fond of. Justifiable.
riskylady, I love how you so wholeheartedly and unwaveringly love, defend, and support Adam in all of his different variations.
My secret admission…I have always loved the poncho! And could Joan Rivers be any more un-original than to say he looked like Pocahontas. I think she seemed out of her element at the show. Maybe because she was possibly near some of the people she offends. She is much better in the studio.
