He has more talent in his little finger than all of them combined!!!! WHAT A JOKE!!! doesn't seem possible for that incredible voice and that incredible style to be so ignored!!!!

omg.....Why is the US industry determined to snub Adam??????

I voted everyone and tweeted everyone. No way in hell they looked at those. I doubt those artists such as usher or Tim McGraw had more votes than Adam.

the voting campaign was a SCAM!!!!

PEOPLE wasted all of our time....

Honestly, IT BOGGLES MY MIND‼ For instance, not picking on Selena Gomez?!... REALLY?‼ Just from this example there is a bit of fixing going on‼ JS

Adam, you'll just have to be really patient and just "let things sort itself"... you're time will come. What really matters is you're busy doing what you love to do‼ Awards are just an icing on the cake... you have the cake‼ ☺

Let's forget about all these US awards. Help him set foot internationally. He will do much better outside with less bias around him. The world is waiting for him, his music and his talent.
Who is that "Iglesias"?

SOO upsetting!! Voted daily non-stop for Adam!!! Even in wee hours of morning! Such a travesity - he has soo much more talent than many others nominated here ! Not even listed under fav song either!

This just makes no sense at all!!

What we do - we buy his music/products!
(within reason for our individual budgets of course).

Also, I didn't want to say this earlier and discourage anyone from tweeting/voting before, but other than the past few years, the People's Choice Awards were largely regarded as... well, not something the big artists really wanted to attend, and I believe this is why they started NOTIFYING the winners ahead of time, to try to get more A & even B list actors/entertainers/artists to attend. If you care to, research it, PCA's were not regarded very highly until quite recently. I would say this if I were not an Adam Lambert Fan, because it is true. The PCA's knew that Lambert fans would vote, vote their butts off, and then they would be responsible to adhering to the legit numbers. What is funny to me on this one is that the PCA's audience, is not, or has not in the past, been the tween or tween market, so I am a little suprirsed on this one.

Adam is going to make it the hard way,on sheer talent alone. Obviously, there is a back lash going on,and hopefully, it will have stopped by next year. I don't expect anything from the Grammys either. This is very tough for us to take as we know he is being snubbed. Well we must continue to show the same class as Adam has shown.

Adam is the best entertainer over all, we as his fans all know that, and he has more fans than anyone, just look at his sell out venues. We love you Adam.

Adam Lambert fans: Let's make FYE album Platinum by 11/23 http://tiny.cc/utlam . Let's show the music industry who's the best artist. DO IT!


Pass this around to all the fans and remind all the fans daily to do this. I plan to buy multiples of his album. Let's do it! It's important to us and him.

Let it go they already picked these people long ago...nothing we could have done. Fans do not be so hard on yourself. Adam knows and that is all that really matters in the end.Justin Beiber did not even make it in The Male artist cad.Micheal Bubble'? Now that is funny. Really funny. Usher? Bought and paid for!

All we can do is what we have been doing and that is supporting Adam!!! We can plead our case to the music industry in the US until we are blue in the face and they are going to continue to turn a deaf ear to us. They don't want to rattle any cages so they are bowing down to the higher power (in their eyes), which are the almighty bible thumpers!!!! Eventually they will all be proven wrong!!

Anonymous said...

I think you have to examine the fact that just because Adam's fans are zealous, that doesn't mean the rest of the country is. Talent often has nothing to do with popularity in the music world. Adam's sales have been somewhat good, but nothing close in camparison to those like Ke$ha who has gone triple platinum. Katy Perry...same thing. Justin Bieber, same. There are many variables involved which I will not go into, but that's why Sony is not releasing a third single. His time will come to smash all charts...just not this time. Besides, anything that is titled People's Choice is scary to me, after the "people" voted a moron into office two consecutive terms in the millennium.

funny last line 11:28! Yes, buy his music is the answer, otherwise, let it go is my opinion.

Not just his music, any Adam's products from his fan site will help him financially.

Such loyal, lovely fans who in his own words are so passionate, yes buy his music, pass the word, thats what we can do.
It really annoys me cause if he had released an album of bleh covers (Susan Boyle) it would be multi platinum by now. However I think Adam is more than happy with his success at this point he says it is more than he hoped for. I know we want more recognition for him as he deserves.

How could someone with such talent be completely ignored for awards? It's true he hasn't reached the number of sales as does Kesha, Katy Perry, Rihanna,etc., but his loyal fans know that he deserves to be recognized in the music industry for his impressive vocal talent. I know these awards shows are ridiculous over all and Adam at this point in his career has done well with his GNT both nationally and internationally. He will survive and have a long, successful career in music with the continued devotion of his fans in years to come. There have been many in the arts through the decades who have not received awards,but somehow they know how respected and loved they are by the fans who will continue to support them. We won't give up on him.

Anonymous said...

I'm disappointed, as I thought Adam had a good shot at this one, but have to agree with 11:28 and other good points above. You may laugh at this, but I just got off ABC.com's message boarde and suggested Adam as a contestant on So You Think You Can Dance. Two seconds later someone suggested Taye Diggs, but also said they loved Adam.I really think Adam could go far, especially if he could get on and have us behind him. It would be an opportunity for people to see that he is more than what is perceived. What do y'all think? funbunn40

Off the top of your head, does anyone remember who won for best male artist in 2006, 2007, 2008? Probably not. This show is mainly a popularity contest. Adam has already received many framed plaques for his worldwide album sales. He has a lot to celebrate and his journey to greatness has only begun.

☺ said...

A great example is "MADONNA". She is a huge, huge artist and yet she hardly wins any awards‼ It doesn't/didn't bother nor stopped her from being a MEGA star that she is... actually an ICON‼ So there, awards are only a fraction of a star's success‼ Supporting Adam's career is the only way to go peeps. ☺

Anonymous said...

One of the best awards Adam Lambert receives everyday is the love, respect, and loyalty he receives from his fans. He seems to be happy with the success he has achieved so far with his first album and the GNT both nationally and internationally. His time will come, I believe, when his vocal talent will be recognized as one of the best in the music industry. He is an awesome performer both musically and visually and will sustain longevity as an entertainer for many, many years to come while most of the others will have been forgotten or lost their way.

Voted like crazy and I thought it would make a difference, but I think the winners have already been decided. Putting Adam up for a nomination would have ruined their plans because he would have received a lot of votes and possibly won if the award is truly based on the 'people's choice'! It would be very interesting to see how many votes each nominee received, including Adam. Doubt if that info will ever be published!!!!!

Anonymous said...

It's all about the tweens and teens voting. A lot of people who love Adam don't vote on awards shows at all. After what happened on Idol, can you blame them. It's very sad to see him being snubbed so often but he will be bigger and better as the years go by. Keep the Faith, Adam. We adore you!!!

Anonymous said...

OMG!!! I'm so angry and frustrated right now. I'm an International fan and these US award shows can go to hell as far as I'm concerned. I'm through with them and anything connected with them because they are a farce. As a matter of fact, since becoming a fan of Adam's, I have also lost respect for the US music industry in general and especially US radio. Something here totally stinks and it doesn't take much brainpower to figure out what it is.
So incredibly unbelievable in this day and age.

ESTO ES UN FRAUDE VERGONZOSO!!!!
Los artistas nominados reconocerán que esto no es justo,porque saben lo que representa ADAN
en el mundo de la música y si fuese uno de ellos
no aceptará ser nominado por omitir a un artista que se lo merece 100%
Pero sé que ADAM LAMBERT, está por sobre estos premios.El no sólo, es una gran estrella, sino
mejor aún "Es un ESPECIAL SER HUMANO".

Saw a recent interview where Adam kiddingly said he was BIGGER than the "Muffin Man" here in the USA!!

So, Adam has always taken the high road in the past so I guess the best way to deal with disappointment is to move on, and try to have a sense of humor about it. (But it did feel good to rant and rave about this!!)

Seeing Adam getting those gold and platiumn record plaques internationally are the real AWARDS!!

Go Adam!!

Guys, we can fight this back by making FYE album going platnium by 11/23/10 which is its one year anniversary. Go to the link below to find out HOW and pass this around so all the fans are aware. I purchased my multiple copies and I might do more again. PLEASE DO IT! I know we can do this and I know Adam got a lot of votes on PCA last nomination form. But for whatever reason they ignored him again. Let's show the industry that Adam has a lot of support and a lot of people love him by making his album going platnium.

What did you expect. Adam is not conforming to their social standards, and I think they're a little frightened of his talent. He will continue to be snubbed because he does his own thing in his own way. As fans, all we can do is keep supporting him. I doubt the suits will ever give him the acknowledgment or credit he deserves. Plus he is the new kid, but so are many of the rest of them. Kesha, give me a break. What an untalented....... I won't say it, but you can guess.

Anonymous said...

Another issue that hasn't been pointed out is that Adam fans are considered freaks. It's OK for pre-teens to scream their silly heads off for Justin B., but it's not acceptable for women with families, college degrees and careers to love Adam. The Glitter Cows are perceived as a joke and ignored. Don't mean to slight Adam's younger fans, but a lot of his fan base in the US is in their 30's and up to seniors. Nothing wrong with that but just saying, that is a factor. We are thought of as nut cases.

The music industry is like Mafia, control by a handful of people in US. They also control lots of radio and run this as business. I think they have been brainwash the younger generations with the nowadays music. Adam is doing something different even though his CD is pop. People will love his music if he get exposure. Of course, this will make them nervous.

This was totally a fix. For favorite song cat. they nominated collaboration of artists' songs:

1. Airplanes
by B.O.B featuring Hayley Williams of Paramore
2. California Gurls
by Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg
3. Love The Way You Lie
by Eminem featuring Rihanna
4. OMG
by Usher featuring Will.I.Am
5. Telephone
by Lady Gaga featuring Beyoncé

Hi, guys. I voted a lot for People's Choice, but still had feelings that it can't help. And I was right. But Adam nominated in Germany,got award in Canada, and we still wait for results of Logo nominatios. However, I guess the most important vote list is Rock In Rio festival. Non of this awards or nom can compare with honor just be included in the vote list with U2, Nirvana, or AC/DC. And like you know Adam still has more votes than anybody else! except AC/DC. Actually AC/DC votes practically didn't change during the time I started to vote for Adam! These are real facts and votes. If Adam has been recognize as artist in whole world, it just take time for American Music Industry.

This pains my heart, I admit I teared up. So much snubbing of Adam, over and over. It's like instead of embracing the brilliant being standing before them, they kick mud at him. I find these thoughful posts soothing, though. And I'm sure that Adam is stronger than I am.

This is to the commenter about "sparkle cows". I read double standard and discrimination against women in that comment. In few of Ke$ha's UTube videos I noticed bunch of very old guys in suits. I'm sure Katy and Shakira got bunch of them too. I guess when older men throw their money on these chicks there is no name calling for them. But when it comes to Adam's older female fans it's okay to call them cows or other things. Come on it's 21st century. There are tons of successful women in the world and they can do whatever they want to. Too bad not too many women are top executives of music/entertainment industries.

Anonymous said...

Well hate to say it, but Adam's hand in his pants on the previous thread will just cement the controversy. I really think that gesture, erotic as it is, will not help him at all in the bigger picture. If he doesn't care and is content to not seek bigger things, that of course is his choice. but all the naysayers will be so pleased and will make the most of it. Tommy kissing fine and fun, but never been a fan of self- indulgent crotch grabbing. Love Adam , but even he can have a lapse of judgement in what the broad public will accept. Just don't want him to shoot himself in the foot, but it's not my call,JMO. funbunn40

sigh. The music industry is going to shit in this country, not just because of the so-called "artists" but because of the consumers. People are doing the intellectually lazy thing by buying/listening to crap music just because it's catchy or because they like how the person making it looks.
People, especially my generation (sadly) are being very apathetic and its ruining the music industry because there is less and less REAL MUSIC.
I totally agree w 11:28, and in fact I'll do you one more...our founding fathers were right in not creating an electoral college for elections.
The person with the most popularity is not necessarily the best/most apt by any standards. Mob mentality is a scary thing.
I'm just proud to be a fan of a dude who is not willing to compromise artistic integrity for fame and a level of success that is fabricated and fleeting.
Besides, this will just give Adam more motivation to continue to give us more fabulous music and riveting performances.
Just sayin.

Is it true that you had to vote for at least one other artist on the list or else Adams vote wouldn´t count? I read that on a comment section. If so, all my votes were in vain. Of course it could have been a troll.

Adam has incredible musical talent, artistic ability and literally is capable of doing anything he wishes to do, he is just that good.

I'm waiting for the Grammys. To me, this is the one that counts! Hopefully they'll recognize quality & talent! I hope "the powers that be" have the guts to nominate Adam for "best new artist", "best pop/rock performance male", and "best record" for WWFM. **fingers crossed** :-))

oops, I meant "our founding fathers were right in creating an electoral college" LOL given that it does exist :P silly typo.
As far as him toning it down, well it is HIS concert. Its not cable/local/late night television. Granted youtube vids of all his performances appear almost instantly...and him being such a talented and refined singer I don't disagree that subtlety might just win him more mainstream acceptance.
Just sayin.

The male artist list makes me laugh - I wouldn't want Adam to be part of this list! I think it's hysterical, especially m@m. (love the candy-not the performer). JEEZ give me a break! I think Adam does not make the lists because no one wants to be out-shined by Adam. Can anyone seriously compete with Adam - seriously? nancdruuu2

Anonymous said...

Let's face it, gang. It's not easy being an Adam fan. It's not for the weak, the timid or the faint of heart. He's taking us on a ride, and I, for one, am thrilled to be on it. Will he make all the right decisions? No. Will he become a mainstream megastar? Who knows? I believe that through all the over-reactions to everything he does, and the missteps that he may make, his tremendous talent will win out in the long run. We all say he's being "true to himself," but maybe that will change with time, too. He's so young, such a risk-taker. And he feels incredibly sexy. I think the average music fan prefers safe, average-talented "stars" who crank out mediocrity. These artists are so predictable, yet they produce tons of money, often very quickly after their careers begin. Adam is such a diamond. Rock and pop music has been full of singers who have pulled a lot of stage stunts, long before Adam. I love him as sexy as he can be. I know that may affect his marketability, but I guess all we can do as fans is buy the heck out of his CDs. "Popularity" and talent is determined by sales in the demented music business. I'd love him to be on every "most popular" list and win every award, but it ain's gonna happen, at least not yet. I will NOT abandon Adam, ever. He's just too damn good.

My opinion - many are reading too much into it. Is PCA on ABC? If so, remember that ABC is in bed w/ Disney - nuff said. These awards were considered a joke for years. Don't sweat it. Some of the others award shows not recoginizing AFL was a bit of a bummer, but not these PCA's peeps, let it go. Buy Lambert's music. AND REQUEST still!

Anonymous said...

What the hell are you people talking about. Have you not seen the other artist (so called artist) they are raunchier, violent, and every other bad thing you can think of yet they aren't being blackballed. Why should Adam stifle his artistic abilities, he is just being himself, which I wouldn't want him to change. His vocals first and foremost have won me over from the beginning but I love that he takes risks, maybe some won't be to his advantage with the so called idiots that run these stupid awards shows, but that is there lost. I wouldn't have Adam any other way. He is smart and a business man he isn't going anywhere, so please stop saying he should tone down, if he did that then he wouldn't be Adam.

Anonymous said...

@nancydruuu2 & @Anon at 4:41PM - you both said it best.

IMHO Adam brought back the musicality that has been missing for the longest time if i remember it right. Again IMHO, such Award shows tend to snub him because Adam has that rare ability to upstage anyone else in the music industry today. It is his versatility that is MAGICAL & SIMLPLY LIKE NO OTHER. Give him any song and his cover will sound even way better than the original. It is bacause he is no ordinary singer, ADAM IS A SONG STYLIST. I just hope that many still remember Melinda Doolittle who happens to be the 1st song stylist i saw on AI. The way they interpret songs is exquisitely divine that will make one cry tears of joy.

Adam has hurt AIS8 & they are afraid to suffer the same blow. With him around it would be hard for the auto-tuned and less talented artists to shine ergo lose their credibility. Too self serving but honestly that is how i see this. Of course i can always be wrong in many ways. But this is just my opinion. Don't mean to hurt anyone :)

Has it ever occured to anyone that when we vote on these things over and over again (I'm guilty)the count really doesn't show the true numbers of people voting. How can we ever know exactly how many vote for the first time, etc. A good way to promote Adam is to recruit your friends and, yes, even your postman if necessary. Also, I'm sure that Adam would appreciate it to know how many new people are on his band wagon. Adam, you are a national treasure and the citizens of this country will recognize it one day. Hang in there! Sandy

Anonymous said...

Well, I don't think the PCA's are that big of a deal - the votes can be spammed, etc. If you think about it, there are others who have been "robbed" as well: How about Jason DeRulo? He had numerous hits from his debut album and I didn't see his name on Breakout Artist. And Tim McGraw? Give me a break. I think it's a real longshot, but a Grammy nom would be the real deal. Anyway, I'd also like to say that I'm surprised that any fans here would suggest that Adam change his act just to be accepted and be nominated for these lame awards. Do you know him at all? If so, you know that's not gonna happen. Take it or leave it.

Anonymous said...

Good point, Bing. Adam does outshine everyone else and they are bland in comparison. He's made music exciting again and anyone following him on Idol is going to have a hard time. There just is no one that commands an audience in voice, looks, polish and charisma. He had confidence and the insight to pull off risky, brilliant renditions of every cover that he did. I'm still in awe of those performances and no one IMO will be able to measure up.I just don't want him to totally abandon some of that side that drew so many to his musical prowess. I love all sides and there's a place for each side. funbunn40

The REAL problem for ADAM's 'lack' of nominations is that if ADAM performs on these award shows .............. a) He will entertain not just sing .... b) He will SING not lip-sync AND .... c) NOBODY will want to FOLLOW ADAM ... ADAM would ALWAYS have to be the CLOSING act .... PLUS ... and this is a 'biggie' ... everyone else would have to SING too ... not lip-sync ... so that would leave ... to quote Paula ... a lot of people in the rear view mirror!!!

There is no need for Adam to change his concert. GNT was a success. Kissing the bassist has nothing to do with where he is today. Here's my take on why he is off the awards circuit: Adam has had only one hit, and that hit happened last spring. He was not visible this summer/fall. He doesn't have a distinct sound.

FYE did not go gold. IIHY took months to go gold. WWFM was a hit, but its spins on top 40 became marginal back in May. If Adam had Kesha's multiplatinum singles on his resume, he would have been nominated.

Thanks to radio's lukewarm support for iihy, his commitment to his tour, and to having nothing new for fall/winter which needed promotion, he's been flying under the radar since May. No tv appearances. No major covers. Lack of promotion and visibility does not lead to awards recognition.

I don't think people think of a specific sound when they think of Adam. FYE, IIHY and WWFM were so different from one another that many of my friends don't know he sang all three. As a result people identify him as "that singer from idol." Again, this doesn't help with music awards.

It'd be great if he offered a coherent sound for the second album and that the album got a great lead single plus promotion. Adam needs a "sound," and he needs mainstream hits.

Oh Gosh, I am just so angry. I want to move out of the US! 11:28 yup! A moron over the will of the people! American Idol-another injustice of over-voting of the 'other'.

I agree with anon 9:17, I too have been wondering if our rabid voting has hurt Adam? The more I think about it though, you know the other artists fans are doing the same. I think the music industry snubbed Adam for a long time after all the outcry from the AMA's and the fact that Adam is gay and continues to be very 'sexual' at his concerts. I don't really get it, but oh well. I only hope and pray that eventually Adam's true talent and charisma outshines anyone else as it should. I have never been such a basket case about anyone in many many years. At least WE will continue to race to the phone to purchase those sold out tickets to all of his performances.

Anonymous said...

I'm not sure whether it is very flattering to be in the company of Kesha, JB, or Selana Gomez...

It is too bad that apart from the classical music quality and talent is not really a factor for people. Not necessarily the best sells the most.

I remember an article where opera experts evaluated Adam's qualities and one said he'd be better off as an opera singer gaining more success and a stable carrier there "as the pop music world is notoriously fickle. Unlike opera, where singers often perform year after year, even decade after decade, pop music is always hungry for the next big thrill, the newest sensation."

To sum up in my own frustration and dissapointment, I am BEYOND furious. Something is WRONG in this country... Adam is TOO GOOD for the likes of these fools that will vote for Eminem's violence... Biebers childish machine, and Ke$ha?? Triple platinum? WHO is buying this stuff. The music industry is catering to the whims of 12 yr olds.

I'm holding my head UP, WILL comment on the idiocy of it... continue to support Adam's music, his message of kindness, love and acceptance, and promote the WONDERFUL uplifting magic that Adam gives to the world.

@funbunn40 - thanks so much for the nod. To me Adam is the total package & has the IT to succeed in the American music industry but it will take time considering the very unfavorable environment around him. I'm a firm believer that his talent will prevail no matter how long it takes. Let us patiently watch Adam evolve & find his niche in this business. Let us not give up on him that easily. His AIS8 stint has certainly endeared him to millions of people around the world who know genuine talent when they see one.

@Cindy - ditto to all your nods. I can relate with all your sentiments and know exactly how you feel now. Maybe you should give yourself a dose of what you've prescribed to me the other day :)

OT
Btw i've been replying to your posts in the old threads ha ha. And guess what, maybe this will help you a bit. It's a happy day for me Cindy. I already watched Adam_smile's fan vid.

This too shall pass and let's all continue supporting Adam in our own little ways. Again TALENT WILL PREVAIL! Let us all continue to count Adam's many other blessings.

The comments here are either with the conspiracy theory or the persecution theory. The US music industry is in conspiracy to perpetuate the non-talents for goodness what reason - to be able to sell millions to 12 year olds who are easily manipulated into buying their autotuned music. Or, the US music industry is persecuting Adam for - killing AI, being gay, doing that AMA performance, unleashing his fans against writers who bash him, and singing in tune. Adam fans should ignore all these awards and the US music industry and just support him by buying his music/merchandise and watching his concerts.

I have resisted commenting on this thread but here goes...

I doubt that Adam is losing any sleep over not being nominated...and I am not going to either...His time is coming...maybe next year with the new album..or maybe not at all with this type of award, who knows..I don't think the peoples choice awards are worth getting too upset about..Adam is in a different league and it doesn't bother me (much.....well maybe a little....) that his name is not associated with some of those listed above..Not dissing any of them, again I just think Adam is so unique and special that not everyone "gets" him and in reality he is still struggling for recognition out there on the radio, which is where these nominees have become so popular...I will just continue to love him for who he is and enjoy the fact that he has been giving us those great Glam Nation performances this year...and continue to support him as the amazing artist that he is...Maybe I'm rationalizing a little here, but I just don't put that much importance on this particular award show..More interested in the Grammys etc...Wasn't this the one that he actually did win an award for something last year but it was not announced on air so no one knew about it...??? I sat through the whole thing...and nothing...and I didn't enjoy the show that much either...so at least I won't have to watch it again this year..(more rationalizing here...LOL!!!)

Glad you didn't resist glitzylady. And btw, he was nominated last year and they did NOT announce his CATEGORY ON AIR, which I believe Gaga won. These particular awards are not ones worthy of concern or fretting over IMHO - could go on about that, but this is already a long thread.

I don't get the Justin Bieber factor. He looks like a baby Beatle but that's an outright insult to the Fab 4. I guess it's only his hairstyle that reminds me of them - hardly an original hairstyle.

No one is more talented than Adam.

I just read that Adam was nominated as Favorite Breakout Artist on the People's Choice in 2009 and lost to Lady Gaga. You can't be nominated for that twice, can you? You only "break out" once.

Justin B is being sold like a product by the music industry right now. Adam is a human being.

well said 8:59am. The industry is forced to take Adam Lambert as a human being, multifaceted, not one dimensional, complex, not controllable... and they don't like it one bit

Patience and Positivity will ALWAYS win the day...these are virtues Adam himself espouses each and every day of his life...true believers and followers will do the same. None of those awards would follow him to heaven but the love of patient and positive believers will echo in his heart and soul forever.

Good point made by 8:55 am. Were any on this list considered break-out artists last year?
Gaga isn't nominated this year either.

The bottom line is MONEY. Adam didn't sell as many records even tho he has more talent. The second album has to have some tunes that are more "catchy" and more "pop" if they want to get radio play and attention of the younger crowd. I have two teens and the only song they like is "Fever." Even tho I listen to the album a lot, they never do.

i thought beiber was nominated for breakout artist last year? He seems to have been around for at least 3 years, how can he still be a breakout artist?
