Adam Lambert 24/7 News

Where is delilah5. We need her to translate now. I have heard that the dj:s are homophobic and rather rude in their comments, but "surprised" how good Adam sang. They cared more about his make up and nailpolish than his voice though.

Eva

Wow, if what you say is true Eva, how much pure sh*t does Adam have to endure. He is so very brave. How can we understand how he puts up with that hate and keeps smiling, performing and moving on. He does it for us and his Russian fans. Money aside, I'm sure it would have been easier for him to just stay in the studio and work on his album. But I've heard that he is working with artist(s) in London.

Is Russia, as a whole, really that homophobic? I have heard they're not that liberal but I didn't realize it was that bad.

Any Russian fans here can fill me in on this? How is the general consensus on homosexuality etc? Is it accepted?

Dj: man with makeup and nailp olish gives autograpes,Adam won AL.(jeezzzz did not)
Dj: asks who makes A makeup and A answer:Russian fans are beautiful...

Translation PLEASE!!!!

Adam is beyond brave. He put on a great performance in Russia despite all the homophobia there seems to be there. He gave his russian fans a real treat. Want to thank all the russian glamberts that took great vids and some of the most awesome pictures ever.

Despite being a country that thinks it's so tough, Russia seems to have a lot of DJs and music fans who are skeered of a young gay singer who wears make-up. Ooooooohhhhhh! Scaaaarrrryyyy! I guess they're not so tough, if they somehow feel threatened by Adam. He's got more guts in his little finger than these tough-talkers who think they're too cool for him. Oh, well. Their loss. I also give credit to Adam's Russian fans who came out to support him and give him the love!

I have such GREAT RESPECT for Adam. My heart explodes with pride for who he is, how he lives his life from a place of joy, love and tolerance, even when hated on by others. What an incredible man! This comment is putting aside all things outwardly beautiful about him...and really looking at his internal beauty and strength. I so admire him for who he is. He really will become a global ambassador for peace and tolerance, whether he chooses to or not. He just needs to be himself and the love shines through.

What the hell?! People who don't understand homosexuality.., they treat Lt Choi & others like they were murderers, molesters, rapists, liars., like they are the worst ! Give me a break!! Give a straight man who rapes a woman , a slap on the wrist, .& let em out of jail to do it again ,these are the criminals! Murderers still living, & off of taxpayers ! This hate toward someone who is gay is wrong!
If they want to hate someone , hate the ones who taught them to hate instead of being showed what love is.. Learn to love & understand & respect .
Ok I'm done! Mwah!! K

@Sister ... Thank You for such a beautiful comment about ADAM! ADAM has taught ME more in 2+ years than I THOUGHT I KNEW throughout MOST of MY life!! I never knew such a beautiful and LOVING person existed in the music community much less HERE in the USA & that I would find him on a reality show that America belittles!! My heart is so FULL just knowing that ADAM is among us & is BETTERING the World without even trying ... one country at a time ... one fan at a time just by being himslf!! Love 'n Light

Thank you brave enlightened Russian fans who supported Adam. I just feel sorry for the closed minded ignorant people who perceive this sweet gentle supremely talented young man as threat. Think how much better the world would be with more Adams. But there is only ONE. And yeah, he's just a guy trying to make music and live his life.

ok im russian...
they didnt say anything about adam being gay (thank fully) but then again as already said above..
they called him something like " man who wears eyeliner "
and then they interviewed a fan and she said: " i've been following adam for two years, im so happy i got to meet but i want to meet him again! "
hope tht helped <3

@Summer and Anon 2:15 PM

Thank you for taking the time to let us know what was being said!

Man who wear eyeliner isn't so bad. He, in fact, does wear eyeliner. Of course, inflection and intent may change what was being communicated.

I am just happy the Russian fans got to meet and/or see Adam in concert and that Adam was able to go to Russia to perform and show what a class act he is as a performer and as a human being.

Sister

@K

I feel your passion! And I totally agree with your statement.

Those who teach hate and intolerance should be held in disdain, not those who simply want to live their lives freely and be able to love the person of their choosing.

K, it is people with great passion, like you, who can and will make great change in this world. :)

Sister

I think Adam has enough of a fan base in Russian and around the world that he can tolerate this BS for the sake of his fans. Think Malaysia and you know his fans adore him. I wonder why Korn got involved in the fan war thing. Did Adam cause them to be threatened. Especially loved their remark, they didn't want to beat up little girls. Those "little girls' can probably take care of themselves.

Here's the deal guys,

Our Adam is really a big threat in the Music Industry everywhere right now. Who in this generation can sing like him???? Give me one or two names? Fans are freaking out because A dams fans around the world are loyal and a fighter. Adam is a history that will never forgotten indeed>>>>>>>>

Not a small part of Adam's problem is that he is close to a perfection--courageous,uber-talented, confident, compassionate, kind, diplomatic, hard-working, diligent, etcetera--and yet he has the outward beauty to match. That beauty is what galls the most; for the homophobic, insecure, and phobic, Adam inspires fear and envy, mostly because they are close-minded and mired in their dogma. Talent, character, and beauty are such rare combination that one can suffer by comparison if not sufficiently secure.

Adam is talented, and music is the universal language. I believe that he made new fans in Russia and made some pause to question their hatred. That is progress. One man changing minds and attitudes. It just seems like it was all meant to be.

Love has no boundaries.

Hmm.. "a big threat in the Music Industry everywhere”… Is he going to leave anyone out of work or something just because he’s so great? The ‘Music Industry’ is a little bigger than what we see on music charts and the MUSIC means much more than all of us here (and Adam for that matter) have knowledge of…

I bet there are quite a few ‘voices’ out there (much more than two) that I don't know of, but just look and listen to this Russian (that I told you about months ago)

Oh, and homophobia is just an expression of fear, hatred and ignorance. These are everywhere (must be DNA-embedded) and they can take lots of forms… I prefer the most obvious ones to the ones that hide behind masks of acceptance and openness. I’ve seen a lot of ignorance and hostility even among the ..Berts. From people who say they are full of love, you know… Then again, we are all ignorant in some areas of life and it’s ok as long as we are the self-conscious, not the stupid and aggressive type…
And btw, I’m also living in a hypocritical society (not too far away from Russia)… a combination of homophobia and pornography that eventually will kill our soul… so much so that sometimes I’m thankful that I don’t and probably won’t have kids.

@ Tess4Adam, thanks for the Lt. Dan Choi link. I had plenty to say on that site.I'm always amazed at the hate and ignorance, most of which is born out of envy and fear, along with some radical religious zealots, like the Westboro Baptist Cult. I choose to view them all as afflicted, ignorant souls that are blighted by their hatred and insecurities. They must think that all lgtbs will take over the world and turn all the straights! Pretty preposturous and illogical IMHO. funbunn40
