Adam Lambert 24/7 News

How much stress can the Glamberts take?

Fingers and toes crossed and saying my prayers.

I like this kind of stress. I love that he is being accepted and recognized for his talent. I don't think he has much of a chance at the grammy, the favorite is Bruno Mars, he has 7 nominations, not to mention Michael Jackson .It's going to be so important for him to make a really good album, hope he has some great writers to work with.

I disagree LP, I think he has a very good chance of winning the Grammy.

Ummm 8:21

Let's be realistic. Adam is NOT the frontrunner at the Grammy. I doubt Adam will even be there that night.

The frontrunner for BEST POP MALE is Bruno and MJ.

technically adam lambert should be the winner grammy award- but u know how the music industry seemd s like they give it to hes almost unknown and not famous and not that greet artist(technically)thast usa.
adam lambert has to flew to finland to recieve his award?finnis grammy.

Wow! congrats ADAM‼ This is quite an honor, being nominated & recognized by other countries‼ Keep 'em coming‼ :) I hope & wish you WIN‼ :) *fingers crossed*

@LIVA 8:21pm What do you mean "Let's be realistic"? Adam is the best artist US Music Industry has for today. He has 4 octaves voice, he enternaines like nobody else did since MJ, Freddie Mercury or Elvis. Belive me, I am saying this not as Adam fan, but person who has music degree and grow up in the family of professional musicians. Adam was out of the league on AI, he is out of the league on Grammy's. May be Bruno is good singer, songwriter, but this is not possible to compare Adam's vocal and performance with anybody else. And if you remember this is nom for BEST MALE POP VOCAL PERFORMANCE. So, if all of this Grammy deal for real, Adam has to get this award. Sorry, but MJ died one and half years ago. I respect his memory and talent, but this is real life and musicians who has to be awarded for their talent and hardwork. And they need these awards and recognitions now not afterlife.
Also, what do you mean that you doubt that Adam will be on Grammy's? Did you forget to send him invitation? I don't want to be mean and each of us has own opinion. However, if you talk about reality, can you agree that this troll Justin B got two noms?Is this reality or farse?
I am big fan of Adam but not fanatic. But Adam got awards and recogntions from many contries. I think it is time when his own country will not just nominate but award him for his talent.

Liva 821. All nominated artists are invited to attend the Grammy's. That's the way it has always been.

@ZZ Darling, I don't remember when is the last day to vote for myyoutube constest. Do you know the date?
delalih5

is our resident troll here tonight?

delilah5 - We know Adam is the BEST technically and in terms of VOICE. But the mainstream music industry award shows look at the sales of the singles and albums. Granted, Adam's sales aren't flopping or bad, but you have to admit, compared to people like Bruno Mars, it's not good. That's why Adam won't be a frontrunner at the grammys as long as his sales dont' surpass his competition.

Before Adam's album came out, I was determined that he'll have the best selling MALE album of 2010 but then the album cover came out and (despite the fact that i love it). it was NOT a good decision. That cover ruined the chance of Adam outselling.

I love that album cover but it was made fun of everywhere. That is the reason why the album didn't sell that many copies overall.

Okay. I'm sounding like a troll but my PMS came so whatever lol

IF you go on the grammy site, the one where you unofficially vote (sorry don't know how to link yet) Adam has 48% of the votes and Mj has 47% bruno mars is at like 5%. There are almost 3,000 comments on this so to speak war between adam and Mj. Grammys should be interesting. So hope they ask Adam to perform and I believe he will definietly be there and @ liva , I agree with you that his album cover did hurt his sales. I am a die-hard fan so I could care less what it looked like but the first one is very important.

anon Jan.10@10:37pm. I am still voting on that site every now and then. The Grammys sure will be interesting!! I am so proud Adam got nominated,I feel like his mom. Can't wait til Feb. 13th he will have these memories forever and so will we.

at 10:08pm,yes it's that pesky passive aggressive one.

the reality is Adam concert around the world was a big success what else can I ask for..... You can have all the awards people...

I'm the real fan indeed... Love u adam

Toronto fan base' Canada

Agree with the above reality. It is important to have big CD selling nowadays to make real money. Look at Susan B, she doesn't even need to do any concert but how many of her fans have a chance to see her live?. Adam's selling out concerts allow fans from all over the globe to see him live and also have real money he can make. I really hope we can go to his concerts for many years.

@ LIVA and any other negative vibes...
wow, negative much?

I contacted the Grammy Assoc. for information on requirements of nominations and votes...

It is voted on by professionals in the Music Industry and unlike other award shows, -->
**it does NOT, I repeat **does NOT base the qualifications for voting on sales or marketing at all, but pure excellence and appreciation, acknowledgement of a job well done. That is why sometimes an 'unknown' will win. SALES are NOT a factor here, but talent and excellence.

I'd say Adam has EVERY chance of winning the category he was nominated in... I would hardly write him off so easily. He is VERY WELL thought of, praised and admired by a LOT of professionals in the music industry.

Yes I acknowledge Mars may be a front runner in popular conversation, MJ the sentimental factor,<-- but also acknowledged as NOT grammy quality. His own insider's say it's POOR and he would NOT have released it in it's current state, so I find it very disheartening and unnecessarily negative and defeatist (and oh yeah, a little arrogant know-it-all sounding) to automatically assume a LOSS.

I DO agree with you in part that his debut album cover may have hurt some sales. A shame because it's an EXCELLENT album that SHOULD have easily gone platinum in this country.

But, WHAT? Not show up?? For the GRAMMY AWARDS? (rubbing eyes) Of course Adam WILL be at the GRAMMY Awards. Acknowledgement and validation of his accomplishment, THE place to be among the best in his field, not to mention the Red Carpet Fashion opportunity... WTF? You must be joking? How could you even SUGGEST he would not?? Unless you mean 'show up' as far as voting?? Again, all of the above.

So in your own words, yeah, you just might get labled a troll, or WOW, Looks like that PMS is really taking a toll on you, jeesh. Hope you feel better soon.

Adam will be attend the Grammy Show. Someone has to be there to accept the award for STYLE AND CLASS!!!

@Cindy Morning, dear. Thank you for great post!
I absolutely agree that cover of CD cost some problems with sales. But it was another reason. AMA! Honestly, in my office many people adored Adam after AI but absolutely hated him after this accident:) at AMA. You know, my personal opinion about what was happen. I still think it was not right time yet for this kind of performance. But non of this people in my office never said that Adam is not talented enough to get awards and recognitions. And he became inernational star
However, LIVA didn't mention Accoustic Live! We don't have to forget about this CD if we talk about sales factor!
delilah5

Cindy -- so glad you set the record straight on what the Grammy's really look for when awarding someone. But I think the rules could be changed to EXCLUDE any deceased artist from being eligible. And in MJ's "This is IT" performance -- does not even come close to the excellence of Adam's performance and talent.

So, I really hope that America comes through for Adam - he has worked soo hard for this. If the Grammy's are all about excellence in the performance and vocal ability -- how could anyone deny this from Adam!!

Are you serious -- Adam WILL be at the Grammy's and he will BRING it!! Style, class, sexiness, the WOW facor supremeo!!!

Heck -- if he could arrive on a glittery white unicorn he would do it!!

HeartAdam4Ever

@anon 6:02am I don't think that many people want to see Susan B live:)
delilah5

Adam will make history winning the grammy.Adam will win!! BELIEVE!! He is all pure & natural gifted talent. HAVE FAITH!!! AML will win!!!
But why does Adam have to be the one to work so hard? Because with hard work, there are many great rewards!!!

Gotta love the Finnish! LOL this is great :)
I do think he has a chance of winning a Grammy but the competition is tough. At this point though my sights are on his second album. I really hope its great...
I also agree that the album cover for FYE might have hurt his sales, but if ppl didn't particularly like the cover they could have just downloaded the album from itunes. At first I thought the album cover was cool and I totally understood what he was going for with that but when I looked at it closely I realized he does look a bit too much like a woman or a transvestite lol Not the angles he should be going for imho. We know he just wants to be fun and campy but that is not to everyone's taste.
I think what hurt his sales the most was the AMA performance...but whatever that's all in the past.
Looking forward to the DVD :) and the album of course. I hope he gets to sing with Christina..that would be awesome.
Just sayin.

Adam gained tons of praises after his GNT, a showcase tour for his ability and talent.

Anon @12:14am. Please confirm who the "pesky passive aggressive" troll is. I don't want to bother responding to a troll. Thanks.

I too think it was the AMA performance that hurt his sales. Most people I know have never even seen the album cover because they are not interested in making the purchase because of that performance. They still think he is a great singer and only listen to whatever they hear on the radio.

@ Cindy

I LOVE YOU!!!! (I'M NO KIDDING) I REALLY DO!!!!

Adam would win everything if the people who deternines winners would have musical and performance training. Unfortunately alot of winners win because of politics and other bigoted reasons. It is a shame because he is the best alive today!! And he as talented as Freddy Mercury and MJ. He has one thing all the others do not - he is absolutely beautiful!!!!

@Cindy
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, & THANK YOU!!!!
Great info., base on these facts; Adam should win. This will help more album sales. Can't wait for Adam to struts down the red carpet in high fashion.

Congrads Adam nominated for the Finnish Emma Award!

This nomination to the Finnish Emma Award makes me a proud Glambert once more. Thank you so much Finland for recognizing this monumental vocalist of this generation.

My Boss @Cindy thanks for that informative post re the Grammy's and i strongly agree with everything you said. I also believe that he was nominated in that category for the right reasons as he is most deserving being a vocalist par excellence who is second to none. I have listened to the other 4 entries and to my mind Adam should emerge as the winner.

Those who intentionally disregard and dismiss Adam don't seem to realize that the more they put him down all the more that people will get interested in him and consequently discover his real talent. Ergo Adam still ends up winning. His enormous talent will stand the test of time and his star will continue to shine because it's meant to be.

@LIVA - hope you'll feel better soon so that all the negativity will go away ;-) Let us not allow those who continue to ignore Adam to discourage us and it is very important that we focus and channel our positive energies to him. Easier said that done but we can always try right ;-)
