OT - Tip for those of you voting for the omusic awards...
Set up picks so your votes can count for multiple categories at the same time. For example, I have 500 votes per day and when I vote... 500 votes go to EACH of my category picks (both Adam) instead of being split between them.
If you don't set up "picks" to vote for multiple categories at once then only vote for Adam as "Must Follow Artist".
Here's why...
There is no way Adam can win for Fan Army at this point. :( Tokio Hotel has over 99% of the top 1,000+ "super fans" and they are only voting for Fan Army. It's a numbers game and at this point there is not way to catch up.
If you are voting for Animated GIFs then you are votng for a type of "vintage" technology... not Adam. The only thing this has to do with Adam is that they chose a clip of Adam for their sample GIF (wouldn't you).
Here's the link to vote if you want it...

AP news quotes Adam as having claimed as "allegedly" being the first openly gay artist to have a No. 1 album, when they could have dispensed with the qualifying adverb by checking out the facts, which Adam has maintained--that he is the first openly gay artist to have debuted at No. 1. Research reveals that all other notable gay artists, like Elton John and Freddie Mercury, for instance, achieved this milestone before publicly coming out. By tagging Adam's quote this way, AP calls into question his credibility, and impugn something worse. A not so subtle, lazy, and totally unfair dig at a most humble, but proud Adam. atm
So smart. This man is witty, handsome and interesting. Could listen to him all day. And I do.
This is the great comercial!

6:07, AP should know that Adam didn't make this claim. It was told to him. He was unaware that it hadn't been reached earlier. Since then, the claim has been clearly substantiated. Adam shouldn't be held responsible for any misstatements. If AP thinks this isn't true, then they can prove it with facts.
DRG (Voting!)
Couldn't hear the song but as usual, Adam interviewed well.
Still can't quite grasp the idealogy behind constantly stating, opening-gay in front of his outstanding achievements; thus diverting attention from the real issue, the achievements. Delve more into the feat and don't adulterate that; getting to be quite a stale approach anyway. It used to be...runner-up, now...openly-gay. Boring when the real issue is sidelined when it could be more inspirational. But Adam always manages to turn things around and make them interesting. :)

You see, so distracted by, openly-gay, couldn't even spell it properly.

GRAHAM NORTON SHOW AFTERMATH!
@LambertUK: ADAM LAMBERT No. #1 on Amazon UK Movers & Shakers

Such a beautiful
The 'Openly Gay Artist' title will always stick now.
Watched a segment of the Conan show recently that was filmed in Nov. and the guest was Chris Colfer from Glee, and not one mention of him being gay in the entire long segment. That's the way it should be! Remember when Ophrah told Adam that peeps were no longer introducing him as "gay", and that was a couple years ago. Sadly it seems to have begun again? . . . Adamluv
JAK here...given enough time "openly gay" will die out.
You hardly ever hear "o.g."
Michaelangelo
Lord Byron
Leonardo Da Vinci
Tennessee Williams
Socrates
Walt Whitman
Alexander the Great
and Tchaikovsky....anymore!
