What an honor for Adam to be invited to this discussion! It's great to know that he is respected for his opinions and for his ability to be articulate and smart about how he expresses himself. I know he'll do himself proud. Go Adam!
What a nice compliment to Adam....Proof that the music industry thinks he's here to STAY!

A real honor for Adam! I bet this is the first time Adam has participated in such a prestigious event of this type. Well, the music industry and media are about to find out just how intelligent, articulate and business savvy our Adam is! Can't wait to see this live stream summit!!!

They can't ignore his magnetic WWS title indeed. Fans are the biggest influence and nobody can't deny that. Adam is one of the biggest star will rock this generation. Bow to the new Icon indeed.
Love and Proud..............

Read the source and it did not mention Adam by name as being part of this summit. Assume it will be available on You Tube--hope so any way.
way to go Adam
Wish I could use a DVR on my computer like I can the TV.

What source did you read where Adams name was not mentioned?
Eva
If you go to Grammy.com and click on the summit article, it says that Adam is participating and the headline opens with his picture, but the above source mentions his name also.

Does anyone have an Adam ringtone and if so, where did you get it? I'd love to have "Whattaya want from me?" as a ring tone - one of the dramatic ones near the end of the song.
Adam Lambert is the REAL DEAL! He should be performing on the Grammy Stage! what is up with that? Nonsense.
My daughter and I have IIHY as a ringtone and not sure what its called but when I call my daughter IIHY plays while I'm waiting for her to pick up, my cell phone does the same. I downloaded it from my cell phone menu for ringtones.

@anon 4:34 Sometimes I looke for lyrics of songs I like and they always offer the ringtone of the song. Also, you can order any song you want for ringtone from your cell phone company.
Very happy for Adam. I am sure he will perform on many Awards and events! I read a lot of great comments about Adam today! Many articles about Adam's Golden Birthday. One of the writers even compared Adam with Oprah!

Very impressive Mr. Lambert. And I agree about non-fans hearing what an articulate man he is.
...and the «Universal Power of Adam Lambert» lands up in the Universal Power of Music! Just on time!
I'm so proud of you, sweet Diamond Boy!
we are going to be busy this week, Wed. The Talk, Wed.the interview with Idol Inside, Fri.Feb. 13th The Social Media Rock Stars Summit and the Grammy Awards on Sunday.It's all good. He is also on the Grammy album and who knows he might just win, his chances are as good as anybody elses.I have nothing to complain about and I am going to be enjoying the week with him.
the Summit is on feb.11th.
For those discussing ring tones...I have "Mad World" as the ring tone for both my husband and son...No particular hidden meaning or anything, although Mad World is my son's favorite Adam Idol Performance, and he is the one who downloaded it for me. Its nice to be in a family of Adam Lambert fans!
This is really a nice honor for Adam! Obviously word has gotten around (and documented) that his influence on Twitter is powerful, and that he is a very intelligent and articulate communicator. Good things are happening, the "right" people are noticing, and yes, I am still very hopeful and optimistic that he will win his Grammy! (You will notice I labeled it "His Grammy"..the power of positive thinking!)
It's a shame that the Summit couldn't get Michael Jackson.
Anon 10:06pm - BWAH HAH HA!! That's funny!
Wow, what a great lineup, and for Adam to be picked for this panel is really validating. Very happy for him!
