By the way, I’m going through this entire thread for the first time. The next poster who calls another poster “a troll” will be put into moderation.

However, I *think* TFM is about to pass Paparazzi in itunes.

“[H]is music so groundbreaking because he really brought a lot of rock into [it],” Lambert, who grew up listening to MJ and watching his videos, told MTV News. “He had initially set himself up with this R&B presence and he brought so much rock into it and I think it was really groundbreaking how he fused all those different styles together in a pop format. I’m very inspired by that musically.”

I would never expect vanilla from Adam. If they wanted vanilla, they wouldn’t put him with the artist and producers that they have had him collaborate with, I totally agree.

I don’t expect vanilla from Adam but I definetely expect it from RCA. It seems they have a tendency to go the safe route with the idols they sign. Yes, they won’t become huge this way but they can be moderately succesful. It’s like they go for the middle road, maybe a bit too middle road than what is really necessary. I agree that they have to think about where in the market the idol will fit but they also have to consider who the idol is as an artist. For example, I think it was brilliant for Danny to go more country than pop, I really can’t picture him on top40, his image is much more wholesome. The music market it broader than top40 and not everyone has to be a soul diva a la Clive Davis to be succesful.

Suerody:
Please scroll upthread and look at the nine spots above Adam’s TFM. Which one of these top 10 songs say ‘radio-ready Kris Allen’  to you. That soft/pop rock market is extremely overcrowded and becoming less popular, especially amoung tweens and teens. They want something they can dance to. Adam’s new music is what’s hot now.

Adam took voice lessons from the time he was 10. He was in two sections of chorus every year in high school. Also, when you are in musicals you are under the direction of a musical director. He has taken his voice and his talents seriously since he was young.

Adam did not just fall into American Idol and hope for the best. He is not taking this opportunity lightly and it is paying off. Relax and enjoy! I sometimes wonder how the news could get much better. (but things keep getting better!!!)

…………..

Exactly! It’s Adam’s time, and he is prepared and confident.
His day in the spotlight, has finally come! Adam’s excitement, is so endearing. I am hanging on tight, for the ride!

Who are you and what did you do to carolinacharms?

Lmfao!! Touche.

my favorite though as been Ferras

FYI for those of you that say your favorite is Ferras – a couple of tweets between him and molinari:

molinari to ferras: DILDO MUCH? How’s ur PLAYTEX GENTLE GUIDE?

ferras to molinari: BETTER THAN USING A COKE BOTTLE OR LIGHT BULB LIKE U!

Laura SaltmanDishofSalt lol. dont think i didnt ask about that RT @suebrody1: Still think Adam is the Awake Man…MW…coat…BLACK SWAN…just sayin. 7 minutes ago from TweetDeck

SO it is still a possibility, as i tweeted back to her. And she could then flail and flail…such a sight to behold. She and Lyndsey are my favorite fangirls, followed by Michelle Collins.

A nice tweet from MATT to Adam

I’m not sure I understand what mainstream is in relation to Adam Lambert. I can put many idols into those peg holes, but I have a hard time figuring out how Adam would fit. Reading how Lindsay describes his songs just verifies my impression that Adam is definitely going OTT and bombastic. And considering who the PTB have teamed him up with I don’t think they are about to vanilla him any time soon.

I know people don’t like the Lady Gaga comparison, but that’s more what I’m thinking (at least for some of the songs). Believe it or not, a lot of very current, successful acts have a throwback vibe (borrowing from the 70′s and 80′s, etc.) So I don’t think this is too much of a stretch.
