Howerd Stern on Adam Lambert

On Adam Lambert: "I would have straightened out that Adam Lambert, number one. That's why his career tanked -- the kid had more publicity than anyone and he f---ed up."


Selling 500,000 copies in less than half a year isn't a flop, Howard! I don't think he's suitable for being a judge on American Idol after this comment. This man doesn't know jack about the music industry!

Howard Stern is an asshole. Excuse me but how can someone's career tank when they haven't even been in the public eye for more than a year??
At least give the kid a few years before you make such a ridiculous prediction!
Howard you've been around for years!!! And i do mean years. I can remember going to see you at the Candlewood Playhouse in Connecticut in the 80's...when you were basically a nobody. And believe me, it took you YEARS to get where you are today. Give Adam a break....and a few more years to prove himself.

OMG WTF!! I thought Howard liked Adam??? I remember reading how he complimented on him on his radio show. Why the sudden 360?

It's amazing how a lot of these media people forget where they had their beginnings and how long it took for their success to grow. It's unfortunate they have to emphasize the negative instead of trying to raise these artists up to newer levels. Stern needs to take a good look in the mirror?

Are you serious? Admittedly there was a setback, but tanked? Oh, Howard.

Adam barely got started with his music career. How in the world did he tank? His album is doing VERY well. That is NOT tanking. Tanking is selling around 200,000 copies and we all know who sold that much. Cough *Kris Allen*

Adam's more well-known than Kris Allen so it's more likely he'd get more bad press. But this isn't even bad press, I'm not sure I'm reading into Howards comments correctly. What exactly does he mean by 'straighten out'? I don't want to say he's referring to Adam being gay. I havne't listen to Strens show enough to get a deep understanding of his humor or personality. I know he's something of a prevert. But I KNOW that Howards had he own share of contreversty. So I don't think he has any right to critize others on that front.

Personally, I don't care what he thinks.

Good riddance, Howard Stern. Don't let the door hit you on your way out!

OOOOH the HATE in all of you! hyhhy. I actually like Howard Stern and usually find his sense of humour amusing. But, I don't agree with what he says here. I think, he believes Adam is so talentes that he should be more appreciated for his music than for other stuff. It's true Adam isn't Lady Gaga famous but he has a strong fan base and has been on Oprah and Ellen. I think he'll really start shining in Europe.

Howard the shock jock.. king of take off your blouse and let me see your titties.. That Howard?

Adam is a roaring success ,selling over 500,000 cds in a short time and in a time where there is so much free music for down loading, having a single in the top 20, 3 popular videos out&fans all over the world.

I don't think Howard know what he's talking about.. I think just trying to get some free press !

luc said...

I guess having a record go GOLD is considered a career problem??? Shut up Howard.

Anonymous said...

If ABC thinks they had a problem with Adam on the AMA's, FOX has NO idea how much trouble they'll have if Howard Stern is a judge on Idol.

They better raise the rates on their commercials cuz they'll need some extra dough to pay all the fines!

Adam is gold in less than 3 months, not 6 months!

Well, Adam himself has always been gold though.....

A person can love Adam and hate having watched him shoot down his own shooting star at the AMA. Even his vocals were awful. It was excruciatingly painful to watch.

Haward is an ASS. Who the F cares about this DIRTY MAN ANYWAY????
It's not even worth putting it here.
Adam is already a huge success and it's ONLT THE BEGINING. Haward, GELOUSE MUCH? With a face like your, I'll be HIDING to the day I die. Add to it a filthy mouth and you got= BIG ZERO. I NEVER liked this guy, now I hate him.

Howard Stern!! Who cares what he thinks. His main job is to degrade women. What a sleezeball.

Yes, Adam made a very big mistake on the AMA's, but he rode it out and is doing fine. Howard Stern? He's gross and apparently those that listen to him like that kind of stuff. If you want to kill AI altogether, bring that disgusting piece of work on to replace Simon. What Howard thinks really has no value in the real world.

Howard who??? Adam's awesome and only gonna get better. I can't stand when they post comments from people who are just looking to ride on someone elses success.If you can't say something nice then BE QUIET.... I think Adam is an awesome person.

Adam is golden! Love him. He made me love to listen to music again.

In a sense, I agree with him. Tanking, though, is simply not true. My guess (and I haven't heard his show in years) is that he feels Adam was a shooting star and didn't use good judgement on the entire AMA fiasco. Starting here: He picked a song that is a great dance song but it really is about S & M (lol, not dating!) so instead of deemphasizing the lyrics of the song, he literally performed the lyrics. I think instead he should have done something similar to what he did on the video. What surprises me most is that no one around Adam (his record co., his management and even ABC) told him like it was at REAHEARSAL! And the worst part is it was a lousy vocal performance which was unheard of before this performance.

Here's another example of what the average person is saying. I mentioned "Adam" in a telephone conversation with my out of state sister and she said, "oh the gay guy." I was shocked since she could care less about things like that. In asking her why she said it, she said, "every single time I see him on television, he's talking about being gay! It's never about his music." Of course I told her that it was the interviewers that wouldn't stop bringing it up, not Adam but you get the picture. Somehow Adam needs to get it back to his music. The VH1 acoustic show could really help.

Btw, I love Adam!!!

What I meant above is that someone around Adam should have given him better advice.

WHO IS HOWARD STERN??? JUST SOMEONE WHO NOT MANY LIKE!!! IN FACT I ALMOST STOPPED WATCHING AI BECAUSE OF LAST YEAR. IF HE BECOMES A JUDGE, I WILL STOP WATCHING. HE IS THE ONE WHO DID WHAT HE ACCUSED ADAM OF DOING. IT IS EVEN HARD TO LOOK AT HS.

Stern is just a lot of hot air. Tried to listen to him several times and he is just not interesting. Not a good judge for anything in my view.

Howard Stern is Cluelss about what happened on American Idol 8. What in the Heck does he mean Adam F----- Up. Adam was great--The Best! I think everyone knows what went on by now, and it wasn't Adam doing anthing wrong!

Anonymous said...

Howard has a point. Adam runs his own show, and I don't think he takes advise well...that said, he is getting more notariety for his life style than a good reputation for his music. People are not thinking about what a good musician he is, only "who is he dating" "how hard is he partying", etc. The last video I saw, he was jumping on a bed in a hotel room and throwing a TV out the window. He is very articulate, but quite immature when it comes to handling celebrity. Grow up, Adam...you are disappointing us with your antics.

he's so ugly. XD

Stern's a douchebag, he's just pissed he got dealt the ugly stick inside and out, envy's just SO unattractive, Howard. GO ADAM!!!!!!!

Adam is not disappointing me with his "antics". I think he is very entertaining. I could watch Adam read a book and be entertained. He is also very mature with a great business mind. Maybe those who claim to being disappointed need to go praise the other guy from American Idol, what is his name?

Anonymous said...

Adam's "antics"....Huh. What are you talking about? Are you talking about AMA. Are we going to discuss that forever. Actually, it didn't tank his career. It propelled it. He said, "this is who I am, and this is my interpretation of the song." The vocals weren't good. That is really a difficult song to sing, especially while expected to perform all the dance moves. Adam has never apologized as he does not think he did anything wrong. He is correct when he states that the American public is use to seeing a sterotyped non-sexual version of a gay man. I believe Adam has handled everything beautifully.

Howard Stern is a major jerk who enjoys demeaning and degrading women. He is basically an as*hole.

I disagree with one of the comments daying Adam doesn't follow advice. He listens to what people say as witnessed by his efforts on AI. He credits Kara with insight in improving his vocal presentation. I'm not sure what people are talking about on this list. If you're going to make a statement that he doesn't follow advice, you need to back it up with some examples.

And Adam is a creative artist. He will take chances and risks. He is brave as Paula was always saying. The meek conformists do not have success. You have to be out there. There is a great article out there talking about Adam's courage. Sorry, I don't have the linke, but I just saw it today for the first time. I think it's from the UK, and it says everything perfectly.

And to the comment that he threw a TV out the window, etc., that was a commercial that he filmed. It was planned. Get current on Adam before you make these statement. It's OK to critize, but have a foundation for your comments.
