BUT I wouldn’t even had pulled it up to listen to it had he not brought it up. He tells us Pink wrote him a song and now I am buying Pink’s last album.

Argh – now if only fans of Pink, Gaga, Muse, etc would check out his album in turn. Must. Be. Patient…

Both Lambert’s interview and performance will be pre-taped, and they say its because of a scheduling conflict, but maybe the network was afraid Adam would repeat his AMA performance as an f-you to the network ‘” which would basically be the most awesome pop culture event of this decade. Oh well. [

Lol – though somehow I seriously doubt Adam would ever do that, at least not for a year or so He’s way too gracious and good about it all. But it would be awesome!

Can someone explain to me how they can continue to boycott Adam on ABC after The View appearence? Won’t it look like they are just ‘picking and choosing’  shows to cancel at that point? Or even worse, won’t it appear they are simply using Adam when it suites them for ratings (Barbara Walters Special, The View) while cutting him off randomly. I have heard a lot of people say that this View appearence is a one-time thing, but I don’t see how ABC can pull that off without losing any credibility they might have had.

Well, the unofficial word is that it was really Barbara Walters’ weight that got him on The View, not ABC specifically. However, I’ve said since the cancellations were first announced that they made next to no sense – especially to cancel two late night appearances, which aren’t even regulated by the FCC guidelines. ABC has gotten a lot of flack for all of it, and right now I almost feel the whole thing is a game of “who will blink first” – they want an apology out of Adam, and a lot of press is saying ABC is more in the wrong. Now, their hypocricy is just continuing – they’ll keep using him for ratings, yet feign indignation at his “wild antics” by cancelling him from smaller shows (like Kimmel).

But look at how great he is taking this stress and pressure. Do you know anyone else who could stand this much heat? And he is doing it while plugging other artist’s work. He gushes about Lady Gaga who I never cared for but I am now starting to notice because of him. He urges us to listen to Kris Allen. I had all ready forgetten about him. He tells us of Allison Iraheta’s new song which to me sounded like Avil L. BUT I wouldn’t even had pulled it up to listen to it had he not brought it up. He tells us Pink wrote him a song and now I am buying Pink’s last album. The guy has influence. He may be the new kid in town but folks listen. And we all can’t wait to see what he does next.

ETA – you can buy just the single off of it.

No.

Absolutely!

I don’t see how ABC can pull that off without losing any credibility they might have had.

ABC … credibility??? that train has left the station loooong ago.

This Adam experience is beyond a roller coaster ride. I’m amazed at how up and down my emotions go with the daily Adam news. I don’t think I have been this invested in a performer EVER!!

IA. I wanted to stay cool and refused to admit the obvious fact that I was invested, well, not until last night when I got Adam’s tweet that he would be the View and I couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear in an accounting class. The professor must have thought I was driven crazy by the numbers.

I’m not a fan of these controversies. I would have walked away if these were about any other singer. But the album is so good that I feel I have a solid core to root at and to go through all the craziness with Adam.

I’m just hoping for really exciting New Years Eve news early next week.

I’m hoping he gets onto one of the big NYE shows, too. It would be great in terms of exposure for him. I like the sounds of the one with Elton John and Caty Perry! That would actually be cooler than NYRE, IMO!

DTRH is my all time favorite now.

Oh, I LOVE DTRH – I love the lyrics and chorus especially! And I get majors lulz out of the fact that Adam must be the only AI alum to use the word “hos” in a song

ETA: Ahh, in fact, just confirmed it ‘“ 107.3 is owned by ABC radio ‘“ there you have it ‘“ they were never going to side with Adam on the cancellations.

VERY interesting, and great detective work, Mary102!!
