Adam Lambert 24/7 News

This is great! Love the song selection! Pre-order it here!!! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JVQ7RK0

Some of my favs, especially Time For Miracles which should have been a huge hit if timing was right. I will buy this compilation. It is from the best singer in the world after all.

Interesting song selection. I would've chosen Whole Lotta Love from American Idol, Fever from For Your Entertainment, Shady from Trespassing. Great choices though

I might buy this after all.

The problem is, there are SOOO many "Best of Adam Lambert" songs! These are a great representation...

I agree glitzy it is a good representation of Adam's music career. We all have our favorites tho. Hard to narrow it down.

And I LOVE that they included RUNNIN' !! A real fan favorite.. And such a great song !

Yes glitzy all Glamberts love that song. Why it was a deluxe edition only song is beyond me. Wish Adam wld play it live some day.

What odd choices.

Great song selection! I'm really happy about Can't Let You Go and Runnin and the selections from his Idol performances. Of course there are so many other outstanding songs and personal favorites of mine that I would like to have included as well. Still, I like the compilation of songs as a reflection of Adam's career so far.

All the hits plus all the fan favorites! Perfect!

Love it and it is in CD format. I'll order couple of this great compilation.

This is also the perfect gift for a friend or family member that hasn't gotten into Adam yet. :) I'll be buying a few to give away and it's only $12

Buying again to give away as well.

How about adding a few of those songs that never made it to TP?!!
I'm sure there are some gems...

Does American Idol performance mean the live performance on Idol or the studio version of the song?

And it's understood that only Sony gets the money, not Adam.

Of course love all the songs, but my list of favourites would be quite different.

This has already happened to Adam once before, with the sale of the cd that caused the break up of Adam and Monte. History repeats itself. He is kicked in the stomach once again. He is getting a lot of publicity now because of Queen concert, so Sony jumps on the bandwagon to make money off of Adam, and he can do nothing about it.

I don't need the CD, I have all these songs downloaded on my computer, and I listen to them all the time.

I would have ditched BTIKM for Fever. Also, Shady isn't on there. NVM, I have them all except for Can't Let You Go.

Might get it just so I can get Can't Let You Go. Now I see why Shady and Chokehold were never released. My favs but I guess Sony ddn't think so. Good publicity for Adam.

OT I just heard Adam on my car radio iHeart station in the Cleveland Ohio area doing a promo I think for iHeart I got distracted and at the end he says and it's free!!

That was a different situation. There is nothing negative about this. It's just another option available for people who want to hear Adams voice, and probably a good deal for a new fan.

Fever and Shady should be on the list, but hey, anything Adam sings is okay with me. My ideal setlist would include his IHR Who Wants To Live Forever and his cover of Stay. I'm sure this Best Of.. will sell well. We Glamberts are crazy for our guy. Wish he got some $$$$ though. Oh well. SONY will certainly see the support of Adam's fans.

Gee I could be wrong but I haven't heard Adam endorse this yet have you guys? Or doesn't that mean anything you guys have it all figured out.

No Adam hasn't endorsed it, but I find it a little curious that the only song I don't have is "One" and Adam featured it on his Facebook yesterday. Did he know "One" was on the track list or is it a coincidence and does that mean he will endorse the album?

I wonder if Adam had to give up all rights to any music he did while working with RCA to get out of his contract. He seemed happy about the KIA commercial with Shady tho. does anyone remember if he posted anything about the beer promo with IIHY?

RCA/Sony owns all of the music. Adam doesn't own it and never has. Shoshanna Stone stated that very clearly when she was asked about the "Best Of" music coming out..

I too was thinking about the (perhaps) coincidence of Adam posting that fan vid of One, first published four or more years ago... on his official Facebook a couple of days ago. Could mean he is aware??? I suspect we'll hear something from him at some point......

And yes, very different from the situation in 2012 with BFM.. These are some of Adam's biggest hits... Putting them on a CD together for people to buy just means more may hear his music..

Love these songs. Def will buy this

Just pre-ordered on Amazon. Yaaaa

I should have said "could mean he was aware at the time he posted the vid..." because he is undoubtedly aware NOW! Lots of chatter amongst fans on Twitter the past couple of days...

Adam won't get a dime.so I'm buying

Does anyone know if Adam will receive any $$$ from this sale or does Sony take it all?

I'm totally in love with Adam's version of "One".

For sure we know Adam is getting publicity from this release.

No. Adam will not make money from this. Hope a little more visibility. Not a bad thing. He certainly knows what is going on and is making the best of it.

Oh I would think he would get some money for these sales as both vocalist and songwriter just like he would from his other albums with Sony. It's just not going to be a lot of money, and I doubt it will be a lot of sales. Just buy it if you want it not in some attempt to support.

This album is not going to be promoted so he isn't going to get publicity for it. It will just sit out there on amazon in case people are searching for Adams name. They already own the recordings so it costs them almost nothing to offer this.

Personally i have a hard time choosing the videos of Adam that i would recommend to friends who are not that familiar with him yet simply because there are just too many great ones, @Glitzylady is spot on. Now that the concert with QUEEN is highly anticipated,such is generating renewed interest in Adam. This is quite an excellent move to showcase Adam's enormous talent and versatility. Glamberts may not be the target market of Sony after all but rather thousands out there who are getting more curious with AML lately.

I may not agree with Sony's inner motives but this is certainly all good for Adam in terms of publicity. Adam's exceptional artistry and musicality are definitely felt in those songs. But i also agree that there are so many other songs that should have been included in the list. And that is quite an accomplishment in itself for someone like him. When he covers songs he has this magical way of sounding better than the original almost all the time. That is why i couldn't blame Sony then for contemplating on putting out his album of covers because he simply does it so effortlessly well. He made me like songs i've never heard before instantly when he covers them. Of course i love his original songs more and i am patiently waiting for album no. 3.

I really hope that this could work in terms of introducing Adam to new future fans.

Keep up the good work with your next album Adam. Be safe and well my dear.

Kind regards to everyone, most specially to all the old regulars commenting lately, i'm just elated to notice your tags again :D

Love thru Adam,
Bing

@7:02
?!?!?!?!?!

Pre ordered already, now I am very happy I did. Didn't see much of this coming. Looking forward to this cd. Surprised that MTN is in this? Can we believe it?

I'm definitely buying this album. Of course Sony is taking advantage of Adam's increasing visibility but it doesn't hurt Adam either. Win/win?? Like many others, I miss Fever, Shady, and Chokehold on it too, but those are more fan favorites and clearly other songs were chosen to introduce new fans to Adam's vocal ability and artistry.

Adam wrote Aftermath and Runnin and Trespassing so we know for sure he gets royalties from that

CD Cover for 'The Very Best Of Adam Lambert' is now up on amazon! http://t.co/HlEtU0GIXH http://t.co/UQdhYdlnzs

@9:05 AM It is an odd assortment, isn't it. American Idol and Glee songs mixed with Adam's.

Did the price go up? I thought it was $10.?? and now it sez Price: $12.34

Who owns MTN ? Sony????

Yes, Sony owns GLEE songs... So Marry The Night is available to Sony to include in this compilation CD..

I have these songs downloaded on my computer. I play them all the time. Even the ones from AI. I think I will save my money , until the 3rd album comes out.

Excuse me how is Adam going to get all this publicity for a cd that will hardly be advertised. I think some of you have jumped the shark.

My thoughts, for what they're worth..... :))

I really like the idea of buying this CD for friends and other potential Adam Lambert fans as a nice variety of Adam's songs, in a professionally packaged album. I sometimes will burn CD's from my (extensive) Adam Lambert music library on iTunes, for people who are interested in Adam, who perhaps remember him from his days on Idol, but who for whatever reason haven't followed his career in the years since then as **closely** as some us have... Really nice intro to his other albums, and his work on GLEE.. It also confirms that he has been around long enough to have this type of album (The Best Of..) out there.. Some people may not be quite ready for the full "Adam experience" (I introduce him gently and then.. spring things like Fever and Fantasy Springs 1 "Whole Lotta Love", etc.. on them: they're toast after that one!) right off the bat, but a great intro for him... (because he's just that addictive..and talented) and perhaps that will lead to future album sales of his "For Your Entertainment" and "Trespassing" albums from 2009 and 2012... Who knows, why not???

For those who are concerned about whether this is okay, whether it is ethical, whether Adam gets paid, whether we should buy if we so choose, I personally believe this: Adam's music is always worth listening to, and if RCA/Sony wishes to promote Adam this way, even if they are no longer his label, they have my blessing. Because any way to get his name and his music out there for people to see, is fine by me. I find music that way all the time...Perusing iTunes, Amazon, etc...

Shoshanna recently said that artists do not make their money so much on the proceeds from the music sales, (they get their up-front payment, and then not so much, but they do get writing royalties, etc..) but from the other ways that they are involved in the music/entertainment business. Touring, concerts, various promotions, endorsements, live appearances, TV shows, etc.. etc..

And she said "if you will enjoy it, buy it, if not, don't.." when asked about this CD release by Sony.. Makes sense to me..

@9:49 AM Thank you for adding to the publicity. Everything positive or negative "talked" about is publicity. If you don't want to promote Adam, the only way to do it is to keep quiet and never mention him again.

I've been having a moral debate with myself to buy or not to buy this "Best Of" Compilation. It's clear Adam will not be making money from this, especially since Shosh confirmed it.

Adam is such a hard worker and so very deserving of some good breaks finally in the music industry (and I think it's definitely happening with Glee, Queenbert ).

After reading some of the posts pointing out the positive outcome of more publicity and keeping his name out there, makes sense to me.

As far as the track choices, most I have already, even CLYG (had to order the UK version of TSP to get that song) but Marry The Night would be new for me in CD form.

For me it's a lot about having everything Adam has ever recorded to have in my collection....except not Beg For Mercy because of the injustice to Adam personally and financially.

I agree it is a very good item to have to gift to someone who is interested in Adam music but has not been motivated to buy yet or is not familiar at all.

Guess I'll go pre-order now. Thanks for all the posts and viewpoints to help me decide.

1:24 - IGNORE BIG TIME!

Sour grapes all over the place. Unbelievable.

Quit bitching about Sony, this is a good thing. It's keeping Adams name out there, they are spending money to put this out, because they have confidence there will be buyers! What don't you get about that?
