Adam Lambert - "For Your Entertainment" - Thread 2

[satanicfloret]

If only 2000 of those reported were physical then there could be as many as 5000 more phys CDs to report. Minus any pre-orders that were digital and any CDs that sent internationally.

So probably 3000 at least...

I would love to see him go full electro on the next album, unfortunately after how well WWFM has done and the acoustic EP sales, i don't think that's an option anymore.

The Most Awesome Music Videos Of 2010
16. Adam Lambert - "If I Had You"
In the feelgood video of the summer, Glambert got back to his glammy self, eschewing the dour VH1 angst of his "Whataya Want From Me" and "Time For Miracles" videos. This was basically one big Bacchanalian blowout, starring Adam and some "girls in stripper heels," probably some boys in stripper heels too, leatherslaves, circus freaks, club kids, glampires, glitterbabies, Sid & Marty Krofft puppets, centaurs, Allison Iraheta, et al in a Twilight-style woodsy setting having some good dirty fun. You know that Bill Hader skit from "Saturday Night Live" where finger-sniffing, totally-tripping Stefon gives his twisted guide to underground nightlife? It was kind of like that. In the best possible way. yhoo.it/hix7Bg

10 Gay Male Artists Who Shined in 2010
3. Adam Lambert
2010 was certainly a remarkable year for American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert. His 2009-released debut album For Your Entertainment continued its reign in the pop music arena with hits “If I Had You” and “Whataya Want From Me” ruling the radio airwave; the latter garnering the new artist a Grammy nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. 2010 sparked the first official solo concert for Lambert titled Glam Nation. In the fall Lambert took his tour international and sparked controversy in Malaysia, due to their anti-homosexuality stance. Lambert continued his fight for equality as one of only a few openly gay male artists to launch their career on a major music label. In December Lambert released an acoustic EP titled Acoustic Live!, recorded during the artist’s international travels. bit.ly/gBB7XD

Adam Lambert Returns To Where It All Began
It has been quite a journey from Gridlock in Los Angeles on December 31st 2009 to the Music Box Theater in the same city December 15th 2010. The last two concerts in Los Angeles were the icing on a perfectly crafted cake. In my opinion, vocally Adam Lambert has no equal in today’s music industry. He was born for this. His second to last show, held at the Music Box ,was special in that Adam had performed there live years before with the Zodiac show. Full circle moment for Adam that wasn't lost in his performance. bit.ly/fFnmrb

Forget about winning “American Idol.” The show’s runners-up often have better careers.

Excuse Adam Lambert While He Kisses the Sky, by Riese

I love this man. Remember that time you got high and watched Adam Lambert’s E!

Luckily I wrote that all down for you. bit.ly/gj2WDf

Performer Of The Year 2010 – Adam Lambert.
Who else? Seriously. Who else? Yeah, GaGa rocks, but Lambert is a performer who never short changes, does not need a meat dress to make a statement, and how he looooooves to make a statement. Even just with a kiss……..every night with his hot bass player.
He really has affected change, he has NEVER been in that stupid closet so many performers/actors/ blah blah hide in.
His openness may have lost him ‘American idol’. But has gained him a career and fans that will go forever.
Thanks Adam…….you have totally ROCKED and changed the world this year.
And such a performer….. bit.ly/dIozeJ

Those are very good numbers considering it was for hardcore online fans only. No major promo or marketing and you can only purchase the EP online through Sony. Orders were more than RCA expected since they had to do a second print. Same deal went to Daughtry and numbers fall in line to what they expected.

Really nice Adam mention in this interview with American Idol vocal coach Debra Byrd -

hollywoodreporter
From the battle of the divas to an image-challenged David Cook to the sure thing that was Adam Lambert, 'Idol's' resident vocal coach runs down the highs and lows of America's favorite show.

THR: The season 9 contestants have taken quite a beating in the press these last few months and haven’t really been able to relish in the post-season glory of Idol. Do you feel bad for them?

Byrd: I think I felt badly for them when they were in the season. [laughs] The thing is, they weren't the only season that people said sucked. There are highs and lows to everything. But let me say this: It's hard to follow the season of Adam Lambert. Like, what do you do next? Do you set yourself on fire? However, my other theory is, if Adam Lambert had been in season one, he would not have survived. Because we weren't looking for that in season one. The show was so new, he wouldn’t have made it.

THR: And Adam’s post-Idol success has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Byrd: I never doubted it. You could see it when he was on Idol -- this is a guy who was prepared. I think he said this was the last chance he could audition, because of his age, and he and other contestants were really smart about how they presented themselves to the planet. Consequentially, he's made some missteps, but I'm very grateful that he's been able to bounce back, so I applaud him. Because he's very talented, very unique, and I think the music world needs him. I really do. Yes, he's had a great year, and I'm glad for him. bit.ly/hrbc2A

Carly Smithson : Adam Lambert has one of the greatest voices ever!
In a new interview with Idol Chatter, Carly Smithson (American Idol Season 7 and lead singer of We Are The Fallen) had some nice things to say about Adam. bit.ly/fxJeiz

“I have never met Adam Lambert. But absolutely, I am a big fan of his. I think his voice will go down in history as one of the greatest voices I have ever heard. He did say in the Rolling Stone interview that he thought I was fierce cause he watched the show while he was in Wicked. I would love to meet him. He seems like a very carefree person.

“He did everything on Idol that I didn’t do. I got on the show and I got immediately, very attacked mail-wise. Absolutely, I got tons of mail. People liked my voice, but they didn’t like by tatoo. People would say that they really wanted to vote for me but they didn’t believe in ‘sullying your body the way you do.’ Like how bizarre and really how sad that you think that way. My husband would look at me on the stage and say, ‘Who is that? That’s not my wife.’ We were in this other universe because we couldn’t go out and spend a ton of money. You have a stylist and you have maybe 15 minutes to pick an outfit out. I was on Idol before there was someone who actually stepped out. There hadn’t been a female who was tatoed before, there wasn’t someone who was going after that rock-and-roll place.

“Like Adam Lambert didn’t give a s**t. he just went out on stage and he was who he is and I became a fan of his very quickly because he did everything that I probably should have done. I mean, I got very far and I was very happy with my finishing place but musically I definitely would have liked to do… there are many, many songs that I wanted to do but they didn’t clear."

TV Squad counted down their favorite IDOL moments in the history of the show and guess what? Adam Lambert's performance of 'Mad World' is their #1.

1. Adam Lambert Lets Us Into His 'Mad World'
There's setting the bar high and then there's just smashing it over your knee and breaking it in half. That's exactly what a glammed-down Adam Lambert, bathed in a haunting, icy blue light, did with his rendition of the Tears for Fears hit 'Mad World.' The performance bought Simon to his feet, which is perhaps harder to do than actually winning 'American Idol.' It also established Adam Lambert as not just a formidable talent, but as an artist capable of making each performance uniquely his own. aol.it/gqXGYz
