Ben Jackson Says Adam Lambert Influences his Music, Says Adam is Talented

Here is the Adam mention:

QUESTION: 'Can You Be My Lover' and 'Dirty, Dirty Disco' are two very different songs. What are your influences?

Ben Jackson : As mentioned, I love the sound of Stevie Nicks; but Sheryl Crow, Johnny Cash and R.E.M are also huge influences for me. There is so much around at the moment that is influencing my newer songs and writing, such as Adam Lambert. What a talent, eh?

Great to see that Adam is now a reference for others on what is perfection on the music scene.

Off topic, almost all artists these days work with other artists in the writing and producing of their albums. For instance, I just noticed on another site that Adam will shortly be in the studio with Greg Wells (Wells has worked with so many great artists in the past and present). It's therefore my hope that some of Adam's songs on his 2nd CD will have real heavy drumming included in them like what we hear in some of Adele's songs. Also, I find it so powerful when the first few songs on a new album grab you to the core and don't let you go. Heavy drumming tends to do that (well at least to this listener).

Really looking forward to Adam's new album!

Glad to hear another artist praising Adam and not pretending to know who he is. This is all good! Hope he is in studio with Greg Wells.

OT - to those of you that believe Levine dissed Adam on The Voice, this is for you. Read this in the LA Times the other day under TV this week - "One singer from Team Cee Lo, Team Christina, Team Blake and Team that-guy-from-Maroon-5 will go tonsils to tonsils ........ ". Payback's a bitch! LOL! Adamluv

@Adaluv - nice going LA Times! I lol'ed reading this.
And yet another OT - just a little something from twitter:

@insomniac19
@adamlambert Are we on a break or have we actually broken up? What did we do? Can we make it better? #emoex

One of the replies was:
@CopyKween
LMAO! He'll make it soooo good for us. RT @redhairedwitch: @adamlambert didn't break up with us you guys! *rollseyes* He just needs some Adam-time. The makeup sex will be awesome!

Since there aren't any real news, I thought any little thing may amuse us...

From Adam Lambert Fans: Info, Pictures and story:

EXCLUSIVE! Check Out A Sneak Peek at Adam's...

Last week, Adam took to a cool, downtown Los Angeles location to film a piece for Talk@MTV Playground. This will air internationally, but in the meantime, you can check out some photos from the shoot right here.

The concept of the spots are to pair together a musical artist and a leading creative in the fashion world who have mutual respect for each other. They sit down to discuss what inspires them, their work and what drives their creativity.

Adam sat down with SKINGRAFT Founder, Johnny Cota, seen here in the photos.
Stay tuned for an air date and more information.

I don't know who Ben Jackson is either so I googled him and apparently he's an English singer. He doesn't have an entry in wikipedia.

Drop dead gorgeous photos of Adam at Skingraft. "Our" man is working very hard. :D

Flecking poll .... voted.

It listed the countries broadcasting the MTV Playground and the U.S. was not on the list. Anyone know for sure?

This video of Gaga is an example of how Adam's Talk@MTV Playground will look like:

@2:01PM If MTV U.S. won't show it we, Glamberts, know how to make them show it here in U.S. If not, then Glamberts outside of U.S. will put it on youtube.

Also wondering why Ben Jackson is newsworthy - any more info on him? this is the first I've heard of him, altho I'm not really "in the loop"

glitzylady said...

@ Anon 5:00 PM
Ben Jackson is Australian and apparently a popular singer-songwriter. I couldn't find much about him either. Adam is very popular in Australia. Ben Jackson has very nice things to say about Adam, he recognizes Adam's talent, and he is influenced by Adam. That's newsworthy enough for me. He's a fan too! And its nice to hear yet another of Adam's peers singing his praises. I love hearing this kind of thing..it may not be huge but its still very nice to hear. And its a really slow Adam news time..anything new is appreciated! : )

thanks, Glitzylady - you are always a storehouse of information and a positive voice of reason. I just wondered who he was (and what I was missing, as I'm often fairly clued out haha)
I agree any nice news about Adam is welcome. It is feeling like a bit of a drought these days. Wish we would get some happy pics with Sauli or Adam just walking to the car.. but it must means he is busy which is good for us in the long run.
