Adam Lambert's "Trespassing" is #1 on Rolling Stone's "Readers' Poll: The Best Albums of 2012" list!
Read the snarky and eye rolling write-up by Rolling Stone below!
1. Adam Lambert, 'Trespassing'
Well, he does know a thing or two about popularity contests. By the looks of it, former American Idol winner Adam Lambert organized his fans to stuff the ballot box to make Trespassing the top vote-getter in our Readers' Poll. Upon its release, Rolling Stone gave the album four stars, with Rob Sheffield noting that Lambert sang the mix of "tinsel disco-club sleaze and leather-boy love ballads" like he was "Zeus in a thong." Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.

OMG! So cool! Way to go Adam! Hope he gets to see this. Trespassing certainly deserves the top spot and a big shout out to his Glamberts :))))

I WAS excited until I read writeup ... oh well, it still demonstrates a strong fanbase, which in turn means MONEY, which in turn means label support for AML I would venture to guess ... so it's all good
What's with these magazines? They put Adam on their covers and sell out every issue available. Now they come back with this attitude?
Ballot box stuffing is available to all entertainers fans if the poll allows it. Where are their zealous fans?
Oh boy..The writer of this thing just opened a giant can of worms..I don't recall Adam asking us to do anything of the sort..If its the same person who wrote another RS blog, about one of his singles..she is not a fan and is not nice..She was clobbered by Glamberts before. I can't believe she wrote this when she knew what would happen. Just Wow!
Its all well and good that Adam has a strong fan base. But for those who aren't fans, this is not a good thing to read, in my opinion. It just opens Adam up for criticism.. again, based on this woman's opinion of him and his fans.. Very very poor journalistic technique. She was making a whole lot of assumptions. And was rather insulting to Adam, also in my opinion. Geez..
Organized the fans!!!!????
Adam doesn't have to asked!!!
Fans around the world is the proof how we appreciate his talent indeed!:)
Just put him on stage and the rest is history!!!!:)
He is out of this world and we love him:))) Go crazy and your life is valuable indeed he!he!

I don't find the write-up negative. It even says that Adam won American idol and Rolling Stone gave the album 4 stars.
I am thrilled Adam won #1 album... Trespassing is fantastic and deserves recognition!
The write up however is just plain rude. Adam has NEVER organized any campaign asking his fans to vote for him! And the words "stuffed the ballot box"... ugh. If his fans love him enough to take the time to vote for him (without prompting) that speaks volumes about his connection with his fans and should be a positive... not a twisted slam. Shame on the author of the write up!

The negative part was the implication that Adam "asked his fans to stuff the ballot box.." which he did not..The rest was obviously fine.. That's the part that others will find fault with Adam for no valid reason whatsoever. It wasn't necessary to make that statement because it was not supported with facts. And not a fair assumption. We vote without being ordered by Adam to do so! LOL!!
Snarky all the way, and unfair.
eh the write up didn't bother me much. I didn't even know the poll existed tho. It is a beautiful album you can't get around that.
So what if they give credit to Adam for having organized fans?
I wish I was good at tweeting pictures I would tweet RS that picture of Adam method singing with a funny caption like, look how you made Adam feel after dissing his precious Glamberts sent to you by the Everybody Better Vote for Trespassing at RS or Get Your Ass kicked commitee.
Leave a positive comment about Adam and Trespassing on their site. Just ridiculous saying that about box stuffing!
I didn't even know about this poll so didn't add even a point to this win but Glamberts are absolutely awesome.
ADAM has the most devoted, intense and passionate fans who surely has his back.
As he mentioned to Carrie in NY, "Don't mess with the Glamberts!"
He knows how much we love and appreciate him and will protect him with all our might. I do.
xyz
All fans of singers stuff the ballot box . . .look at Justin bieber who can't sing a lick . .he gets all kind of awards . .for whar . .not his voice
Trespassing is a great Album . . . if you listen to all the songs you will see that . . . Adam has more talent then most of the singers out there....
CONGRATS BB
Adam Lambert, the king of glitter, has one of the lowest fake percentages it seems to be that Adam has some true fans http://music.terra.com/fake-fame-celebrities-their-fake-twitter-followers,085222fa33379310VgnVCM20000099cceb0aRCRD.html … @YO_RANDYJACKSON @adamlambert's new album,Trespassing! OMG, it's the best album this year...he's done a stunning job! Correction Rolling stone magazine. These are only a couple of the reasons that our Adam wins so many poles. THANK YOU TO TRUE FANS!!! Let us continue to vote. We are fierce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dorothy R. Glambert

great comments at the source, the usual trollie stuff too.
Trespassing is the best album of 2012 !!! After Adam does a Trespassing tour, I would love to see this album become a play on Broadway !!! Every night I dance to this album - thank you Adam for such amazing music !!!
Was this writer trying to be funny or just a big asshole? Regardless, Adam is #1 right where he belongs!
NKlovesAdam
Passion or rage?
Trespassing deserves to be #1 due to Adam's beautiful voice and songwriting ability. The snarky writer is a jerk plain and simple. Forget the ass, this is a victory for our Adam! Just one more accomplishment for our favorite artist! Can't wait to see Adam as host and performer on Divas! It will be so thrilling!!!!..nancdruuu2
lots of very positive, mostly well written responses on the article.
Well I consider myself a super fan and I am not sure I even voted once if at all. Personally I am sick of theses polls.. Adam wins a lot but we still see the same handful of people taking the awards. Also why isn't he invited to sing on the XFactor--because he will put the contestants in the shade. Can't wait for Divas. The Dark Side
They just won't let him win without spoiling it. What fan doesn't vote for their favorite? Only Adams fans aren't allowed. If that was One Direction or the Beibs it would OK I am sure. that write up makes me sick!
Congratulations to Adam, Trespassing and us Glamberts for achieving #1.
After rereading the article, I'm good with it. Maybe could have been longer. ^_^ CT had proper reaction.
I didnt know about this poll. Seems most of didnt know about this and yet Adam won the poll. Why are they pissing on us and Adam. This is one case of bullying but a reputable media. So unfair. Plus Adam most of the time tweets about other artists. Hardly promote himself on his twitter. The only good thing in this is that they called him AI winner. Yes, he came out winner at the end.
How can you trust a magazine when they cant bother to do their homework - Adam didnt win AI. @6:07 you said it perfectly that they just cant let him win! Of course fans are gonna vote since it's a contest! DUH!!!!! I never even heard of it before now so just imagene how many more votes Adam would have received if we had! . . . Adamluv
Raise your hand if you knew about this poll.
@ 6:38 P.M.....I didn't and didn't vote. They do seem to speak with 'forked serpent's tongue'. Why wouldn't there be a full ballot box, even Rolling Stone gave it 4 stars?
Can't they just accept....people LIKE the album. I'm pi**ed!...Am I missing something? Is there some kind of target on Adam's back?
It sometimes seems as of every good comment made about Adam is backed by a slight (or not so slight) insult. I want them, all of them, to 'cut it out!'
He earns good reviews....by being talented, not forced on people by his fans!...........JAK :((((
Damn!....They cut my frown in half!
.....:((((....
The rude impliccation here is that Trespassing didn't deserve the win. The implication is that it was just a ballot-box stuffing exercise on the part of his fans, prompted by Adam himself. Very demeaning attitude on the part of this journalist. Fans support their favorites. Adam won on the support of his fans. The album won because it is high-quality music and Adam is a top-notich singer. End of story. RS should behave better than this.
Congratulations, ADAM!

Maybe this writer thought they were being cute. This article is what is called a left-handed compliment. Too bad the writer got the basic facts wrong. Adam didn't win AI and didn't rally his fans to stuff the ballot box. I supposed some Glamberts will set them straight.
Gee, maybe some random RS reader will actual listen to TP just to see what the fuss is about.
@Anon 7:53 PM
Yes, a few Glamberts set them straight..the majority in a reasonable and articulate manner. I added my 2 cents worth as well a little while ago. Was out and about most of the day but finally got home, checked the comments section..and threw in a few of my own for good measure. I think Adam's honor was well defended by his fans today...In the whole scheme of things, it wasn't such a big deal..except for the implication that Adam ordered his fans to stuff the ballot box, so he could win..He has more important things to do than that!!! LOL!! I personally hadn't even heard of the poll and he sure didn't order anyone to do anything...Oh well, the important thing is:HE WON..and as someone above said..maybe someone who is not a fan but is curious about why Adam has such loyal and passionate fans will check out his music, and then be there the next time supporting him..Trespassing is a great album. Rolling Stone said it was last May..and they were correct. So I'm giving them a pass..this time...
Writer discredits themselves anyway by getting facts wrong with "winner" comment, lol btw ... Looks stupid anyway because of that!!!!!
Agree!
M
gl the writer also insinuated Adam "won" AI because it was also popularity contest.
