2011 is officially over and I want to begin the new year with a big thank you to everyone who has helped me keep my blog going. You are all fabulous beyond words.

A big thanks to: Chart maven, Kirsten for bringing us the numbers each and every day. I couldn’t exist, at this point, without Country guru, Windmills‘s valuable tips and insights.

Also, thank you to Nick for his Song of the Day and Smash coverage (coming!), Mateja for her X Factor UK live blogs and international coverage, Stavros for live blogging DWTS so I didn’t have to (heh), Ali Fazal for his always interesting and incisive take on X Factor USA and UK, Gangreen’s Idol spoiler features(more coming!) and Sparkles the Clown for your hilarious Idol tour recraps! (NOT a typo!)

Thanks to Trip_ncwy and Pam for your contributions to the numbers threads.

Adamland, Girlygirl, Lorismile, Mtlfan, renatamelo, smeggingnuts and Steph6449 and –thanks to all of you for liveblogging concerts and bringing me tour videos.

So many of you have tweeted me tips, or left bits of info in the comments section. Thank you! You make our job here so much easier!

And to all of you who post in comments each and every day. Thank you for making my blog one of the best on the net. Seriously. I have THE best community in Idol land. Yes, I’m biased, but it’s true. Y’all ROCK.

Here’s to an awesome 2012…

    Happy New Year to all here at MJ’s!

    Thank you MJ for this place and everything you do to keep it going. Thank you for putting up with all the headaches, and thank you for the incredible amount of work that goes into keeping fans up to date!

    Thanks also Kirsten and all our diligent numbers people who slog through charts and extract all the blog relevant info for us, including Pam and tripp_nwcy.

    Thanks everybody who bothers to read anything I write especially when I go on and on about country stuff. I know it’s not for everybody but that won’t stop my masterplan to assimilate everybody into the country borg muahahahahahahahahahaha ;) Just kidding!

    Best wishes to everybody who makes up this community!

    Coming to Mj’s is a regular habit. I read my e-mail, blah, blah, blah, then I come to MJ’s before any other site, for my dose of “news”. I mean , honestly, who else has their finger on the pulse of pop media the way this site does?

    Thanks to Mj, and all her helpers, for giving me so much news and fun over the last few years!

    Thanks for all you do… I have been reading and posting intermittently for years. I just started posting again (when I changed computers a while back i couldn’t get beck in so I had to change ID’s).

    I’m fairly new posting here, although I have been reading here for a long time.

    I just want to add my thanks to MJ for a great blog.  Even though I’m here mostly as an Adam Lambert ‘stan’, I still enjoy reading some of the other topic threads and contributing when the spirit moves me.

    Thanks to everyone here for enjoyable and respectful exchanges of thought … 2012 is going to be an Adam-azing year for Glamberts and I look forward to an exciting discourse …

    I have lurked since the end of season 8 when I hit the web looking for company for my misery, and found this endlessly interesting site.  You posters have taught me so much about the music industry that my young adult children think I am hip.  I find fan sites boring, but love the differences of opinion found here.  Thanks MJ your site never fails to brighten my day.

    I found MJ’s in Season 8.  I thought I was addicted because of Adam, but I’m still here because of MJ and all of her great posters and bloggers.  I apologize for my missteps and wish you all well in 2012.

    Thank You MJ!

     Happy New Year to you and the great team including Kirsten and everyone here. Your blog is really a great place to come and read Adam’s news. MJsbigblog is already on the map and my  prediction is it will get bigger. I love the clean look and no nonsense approach:-)) Yes, at times we need putting in our places LOL!

    I am a new Adam Conservative poster but rarely post unless it positive. Thats the way I like it. I appreciate all the great post. Wow you do have knowleagable posters.I have a lot to learn.Long may they post:-)

    I lift my glass to you! Cheers to Mj’blogs with best wishes 2012.

    Regards
