It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Well, that song has been in my head since I woke up yesterday morning and through a bunch of crap in a few (hopefully) indestructible bins and stuck it on a truck bound for the Nevada desert. Yes, it is the most wonderful time of the year! I told you it was Xmastime!

We all put our pants on one leg at a time. They’re just like us — Adam Lambert’s management team just loves tard photos!

Exciting news Glamberts! Adam Lambert is happy to announce his very special “Glam-Up Contest” for all of Adam’s fans on Twitter! If you’re just getting onto Twitter, this is a perfect way to get your feet wet with the fun social network.

So how does the contest work? It’s pretty simple. If you’re not already signed up on Twitter, log on and create an account (it’s free!). Once you have an account, head on over to Adam Lambert’s Official Twitter Page and be sure you’re “following” Adam. Adam’s asking all of his fans to “Glam-Up” in honor of his Glam Nation Tour. So get your glitter, makeup and awesome outfits together and send Adam a photo of your Glamed-up self on Twitter. Tweet the photo to @adamlambert and you’ll be included in the contest.

A basic social media campaign involving Twitter and a hashtag. The prize? An autographed photo of Mr. Lambert doing something glam. How many Glamberts will create 20 Twitter accounts with the hope of being the one? The one who gets an autographed photograph in their mailbox. What happens if you do win, but you also have a small mailbox and the mail carrier distorts the autographed photo? Will you go postal on their ass? Will you call it glamstal?

    ‘sarah beth’ left this over in the Hoff/Bice post, for some reason: http://alamb.groundctrl.net/store/categories/subscriptions
    Adam’s new paid fan club. Only 29.99 for the highest tier, which reminds me that Jason Castro was asking 399.99 for his. So, quite a bargain, no?
    Unless RCA starts doing this with Cook, this suggests that RCA is still trying to recoup some of their Glam-vestment as quickly as possible.

    • rehabilitard

      No, the highest tier is $175 and it gives you meet and greet with Adam, front of line entry to the venue, exclusive VIP only t-shirt, commemorative VIP only tour laminate (hahaha). Some of the Glamberts are upset about the tiers and that they have to pay to meet Adam.

      • et

        Oh, well, hell, if it gets me a VIP only tour laminate…

        • Blue Eyes

          What a rip-off. I have met many Idols without paying. Please ladies to not throw your money away on crap!

          VIP only tour laminate?? WTF are you supposed to do with it??

          • et

            I guess you could put the laminate up on your wall with your 300 tickets and your magazine covers?

          • jukejoint

            What is a tour laminate? Like, a laminated poster?

          • jukejoint

            Never mind. I googled. A laminated backstage pass so it looks like you were an All Access sort of person, is that right? I sort of get it. It’s something to lick longingly or spill your bitter, black mascara’d tears on as you remember the Best Day of Your Otherwise Non-Glittery Life.

      • muzikizmi

        Of course the Glamberts have to pay. 19E has spent a fortune on Adam, and they need to recoup. How many of the fans would Adam choose to meet for free? I am guessing only the skater bois.

        • ross

          What skater bois?

          • magnacarta

            The ones attending his show in St-Jean sur Richelieu, Quebec. Why do I know this? :/

          • ross

            Thanks for answering!

        • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

          They’re also releasing an acoustic version of For Your Entertainment.

          • ross

            Because when you think of who was the acoustic performer of Season 8, you think “Adam Lambert.”

          • margie

            Adam is doing an acoustic album? Seriously? Does he even do acoustic shows (not counting the VH1 thing)? I am sorry I can’t stop laughing. Adam and acoustic does not compute..lol :)

            Geez whoever is his manager is smart. He is sucking the cows teats dry.

          • ross

            It’s an EP, I think I heard.

          • undercooked

            The middle portion of his set on his Glamnation Tour is acoustic. I haven’t been to a GN concert, but I’ve read at MJ’s that he does do acoustic versions of WWFM, Aftermath, and I think a couple of other songs. That portion of his concert seems to get a lot of good reviews from the critics. I think that is why he is putting out the EP.

            But I could be wrong.

          • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

            He did 2 or 3 songs acoustically. The entire fit of the show, though, especially since it is only one hour long, seems off. Rock-ish covers, acoustic, pop all packed in along with 2 costume changes.

          • et

            I don’t see why he *wouldn’t* put out an acoustic EP – if they’re willing to throw money at him, why not give them something to buy? Remixes, acoustic, whatever, just throw shit at the wall and if it sticks, great.

          • margie

            I haven’t followed Adam’s tour at all so I had no idea he does acoustic songs during his set. Like I said he is managed very smartly. His uber fans will buy it no question. I would be inclined to buy an acoustic album of his over his regular album. I would atleast give it a listen. It would be more in my preferred music genre.

          • ross

            Some reviews or recaps have mentioned Adam’s acoustic concert songs, so I already knew about them.

            Castro also put out an acoustic EP, didn’t he? I think before his album came out.

            Pretty sure I remember that Kris mentioned, around the time his album dropped, that he’d possibly be putting out an acoustic EP of some of his songs. Then later when he was asked about it, he said they weren’t, so they dropped the plan.

            Anyhow, it’s off topic but it is it okay if I say I’m pissed? ‘Cause I am. Sorry.

          • Burgundy LaRue

            I keep wondering how many EPs will Adam release before his new album. He’s got the one back from April, and there’s the digital-only Remixes thing. Now he’s going for an acoustic EP. To me, that’s more of a cash grab than the VIP fan club. He can’t upchuck whatever and expect folks to buy it. One remix EP is cool, but more than that before his second full album is overkill, IMO.

            I won’t criticize the fan club thing, because a lot of artists seem to be doing it. It is a good way to make money and help fans get good tickets that usually wind up in the hands of scalpers. The artist, however, has to be sure not to be seen as taking adavantage of their fans by milking for cash, especially in this economy.

            But I’m guessing this is all profitable. Otherwise, RCA/19 wouldn’t do it. Does make you wonder if Adam is still in the hole, though, and if he and his team are milking fans before they move on.

          • margie

            LOL Ross I am pissed too. I want a Kris acoustic album also. I see why RCA is doing this for Adam though.

          • undercooked

            Did Adam have an EP out already? I thought he just had FYE digital remixes which had a couple of other songs on there from his European releases.

            You know, I wish Cook would have put out an acousitc EP. I was a Cook fan Season 7, (although I do like Archie and I think he is a talent here to stay) but I was disappointed in his album. I am pretty sure I would have enjoyed a Cook acoustic EP. I think Kris should put out one as well. I don’t think they are expensive to put together (but I really have no idea and am talking out of my ass right now) and it’s a good way to keep their voices out there. I think Archie was wise to do the Christmas album for that very reason.

            I also think acoustic EPs are easy “do overs” for the AI winners and runner ups who have to throw together their albums in three months while on the AI tour.

          • Pandora

            I don’t actually want an acoustic EP from Kris. I want a LIVE EP. Everyone would know what to expect from the acoustic, but he kicks ass live and that seems to be what surprises people the most, so more of THAT out there would be great.

          • ross

            Did Adam have an EP out already? I thought he just had FYE digital remixes which had a couple of other songs on there from his European releases.

            I think that’s the EP people are referring to, undercooked.

            http://www.adamofficial.com/us/news/remixes-ep-available-now

            pandora, I agree. A live album from Kris would be the best thing. I like live albums, anyway. Also, it would be so different from the sound of his album that it would have freshness.

            There are actually few acoustic recordings of Kris in a studio, though and with his arranging skills plus intimate type of voice that might be a good thing too.

          • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

            This is not a post about Kris Allen. Can we keep it “on topic.” It’s also not a post about David Cook. I can just see this going into a “what Kris Allen should have on his acoustic album” post.

            They would also never put out an acoustic EP on Jive. Hell, I don’t think people with guitars get acoustic albums until they’re really, really big or something. Ok. End of discussion. This post was to have fun and giggle at Glambert tomfoolery, so I allowed the Fan Club crap because that is the ultimate in tomfoolery.

          • ross

            That’s my fault, I didn’t intend to make the post about Kris Allen, I was just responding to the EP thing you brought up. Sorry.

          • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

            It wasn’t just at you :) Yours was just the last comment I read.

      • undercooked

        I think this is a trend we can expect to continue. Here is an article from yahoo music about the VIP packages, etc, that artists are now offering. It’s one way for an artist to compete with scalpers. I think having an official fan club (which would need dues if you aren’t in the chips like Lady Gaga,) would need a membership fee to help pay for tech support etc.? Also it would need a small staff to send out the t-shirts, etc?

        I also could see it as a revenue stream for the artist.

        Here is the link and paragraph from the article.

        http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/stopthepresses/203086/concert-promoters-remove-service-fees-and-hike-vip-very-inflated-premium-packages/

        “Premium packages” span the demographic range, from upcoming tours by Justin Bieber, the Jonas Brothers, and the Black Eyed Peas to boomer favorites like Roger Waters and Paul McCartney. Some allow you to meet the star before the show, while other packages ask you to be content with merely sitting in on the soundcheck. What they all have in common is trying to steal the high-roller market back from scalpers. And the sky’s-the-limit ticket prices are justified by something ticket brokers can’t throw in: Swag. Lots and lots of swag.

      • Dyneri1

        This VIP package feels like a rip off. Comparing this package to the one David Archuleta offered through AllAccess last year, [bought the daughter and myself a package for a Florida concert] Archuleta’s included tickets to the show, front row and the first 7-8 rows back were reserved for the package owners, in the total package price. He did a short question and answer, and also sang two songs as part of a mini concert or ‘soundcheck’ before the show for the VIP fans – in addition to taking photos with every fan – there were over 100 at the show in Florida. Same cost – 175 dollars. Made me appreciate him in a different way – he was very gracious, nice and accomodating to all the fans there, teens and adults. I never knew how good his voice live really was until hearing him in this setting, so he’s all right with me now. Lambert’s package seems skimpy and a little cheap for the money – the fan must purchase a separate concert ticket in addition to the VIP package, no mention of secured seats up front, no question and answer session, no watching soundcheck, or a mini concert, nothing really valuable added or anything that goes above and beyond to make spending that 175 special. My daughter had the time of her life that day, and what more could any parent want. What I find side splitting funny is the disclaimer about the tee shirt in Lambert’s VIP… they anticipate many of his fans being unable to fit into standard sizes, lol…

        ”Please Note: T-shirt sizes are limited. If the size you select is not in stock, you will be contacted by ground(ctrl) to select an alternate size or placed on back order until your size becomes available.”

        • undercooked

          If you read the Yahoo article, you will see some of these premium packages for various artists go for over $600. Really, it’s an intersting read. You can skip the first few paragraphs because those are really about Live Nation discounting concert ticket prices. It’s a pretty long article.

          With album sales on a continual downward trend (due to illegal downloading) artists now have to make their money touring. I can see why artists would want to get in on some of the scalper’s action. I do think it is a better deal for fans. The best seats are always going to be pricey. So if you have to fork out $400 to see Lady GaGa by either purchasing a premium package from the artist’s website or by buying a ticket from a broker (scalper), I bet most people would take the premium package because at least you would get something more than just a seat for your money.

          I can’t comment on Adam’s fanclub or VIP packages because I haven’t visited that site. It seems like the VIP packages are being offered too late for Adam’s US tour because I think it is over next month? Maybe he has a lot of dates overseas and the VIP packages can be purchased for those concerts? Or perhaps Adam is getting the site up to be ready for next year. If the rumor is true that he will drop album #2 in the spring or summer 0f 2011, then I can see why they want to get the site up now and build its memembership.

          As far as the T-shirt disclaimer, that is pretty common. We give out t-shirts at my business and we are always running out of various sizes. For customers who want their t-shirts now, they have to choose an alternate size if we don’t have their size in stock. Otherwise, they can wait and we will mail them the correct size after we get our new shipment in.

    • Blue Eyes

      “Jason Castro was asking 399.99 for his”

      This is a joke, right?

      • muzikizmi

        Maybe that was a typo. $39.99 sounds more plausible.

        • muzikizmi

          Kris’ official site would have to be rebuilt from the web up, to charge any kind of membership fee. As of now, the site is so bad, fans would almost pay NOT to go there. At least they finally took the huge flashing ad for Adam’s album off the front page.

        • Blue Eyes

          $39.99 for Jason Castro fanclub?? OMFG! Oh wait, wasn’t his mother/family a bunch of rip-off artists? Nevermind.

          • MissMyEm

            At the time, Jason Castro was not represented by 19E and everything they did for the fans, was coming out of the Castro’s family pockets. Jason also, at the time was not signed to Atlantic. I like Jason a lot though I’ve never joined the fan club, simply because I think a)I’m too old to be a member of a fan club, b) I’ve heard many in Clay’s fan club complain that you really dont get any big privileges and seats to the concerts are crappy and c) I just don’t believe in paying for something like that. I figure I support the person by buying their CD and going to their shows. If that makes me a bad fan, so be it. I don’t care. But in all fairness to the Castro family…they were footing the bill for everything to help Jason at the beginning. Now I imagine the lable and his management are helping.

            As for Adam…who knows? Maybe 19E and SONY finally decided it’s time for him to pay up and this is how he is doing it. I imagine he’s in debt to them for a bunch.

    • DeeDee

      Who actually gets the profits from this? Are you sure its RCA?

      • Blue Eyes

        I think the artist does get a percentage of the money, depends on the contract they draw up. So the more fanclub memberships and paid meet and greets, more money for everybody.

      • rehabilitard

        This fan site is not run by RCA, it is owned by Adam. That is what they are saying. I saw some fans from AO as moderators there.

        • DeeDee

          Is this common practice? I know Caspar said Jason Castro (inexplicably) had one but this seems absurd to me. I guess Adam is going to milk his stupid fans for all they’re worth.

          • Blue Eyes

            All Idols end up milking their fans. Daughtry has stayed away from the paid fanclub crap, but he does charge for the VIP experience, which sounds reasonable to me.

            I think most people join these fanclubs thinking they will get good seats and exclusive extras that someone who hasn’t joined won’t get. It’s all a bunch of BS.

          • caspar

            The Castro thing was true as of a year ago or so, per VFTW. Although I don’t know that it was ever actually implemented, since I highly doubt that anyone would pay that much anymore.

            Anyway, I guess I didn’t look at the Lambert site closely before I linked it…should have known 29.99 was too reasonable. I’m sure he’ll get a thousand fans to cough up, even at $175. And really, who kows how long his 15 mnutes will last*
            *see J. Castro

          • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

            There was some ridiculous price tag. You could get an autographed something or another and advance tickets. Run by his family, of course. They’re a disgusting bunch of grifters.

            I wondered about that. Guess he owns it. I know nothing about fan clubs, though.

          • muzikizmi

            Doesn’t Adam have a 360* deal with 19E? I think I read that somewhere. If so they get their cut of everything.

            I wish Kris would open his own site. The current official one isn’t doing the job.

        • Dyneri1

          ooo, sounds like a straight up cash grab. if those fans are gullible enough to fall for this, then he needs to milk them till they moooo mama.

          • ophelia64

            Twitter is a font of hilarity sometimes. Apparently some BSC Glamberts are complaining about mentions of Kris in their OT thread of the new paid site. It has since been deleted, but the poster was complaining that she (or he, but what are the chances, really?) didn’t pay 29.99 for an Adam site to read about Kross Allon, to give advertising to Kross (and I had no idea some of them really do that Kross Allon thing; I thought it was a joke). Most interesting to me was that I didn’t pay 29.99, but was still able to read whatever I wanted to read on the site through twitter. As Dyneri1 said, “milk them etc. etc. etc.” And now I will back away from twitter for my own sanity.

  • caspar

    Now that I’ve actually watched the whole 7+ minutes, I have to say the real offense being committed isn’t the tongue assault. It’s the gutting Lambert does on 2 good songs with his dumb, neck-snapping, bump-and-grind, insensitive rearrangements.
    I’m a bit surprised at my reaction, but really, watching that made me mad at him on a musical level.

  • marissa

    Lol, idoltards. Why so obsessed with Adam?

    I don’t know if it’s because he’s doing well and having success in the real world, of if it’s something else, but whatever it is, can you guys go even 48 hours without talking about Adam? You’re more obsessed than most actual fans.

    Also, have any of you actually been to a pop or rock concert? Or at least the concert of a non-HAC artist? Or even just a non-Idol concert? Kissing fanboys/girls isn’t exactly something that only Adam has come up with. And you’re all chattering and bothered.

    You’re all so stuck in the idol bubble and all you can talk about is Adam. It’s so weird because even if you don’t like him, which is fine and a lot of people don’t, he’s just a nice guy who sings. But you’re all so obsessed with him. Idol fandom is strange.

    Lauren: Based on concerts I’ve gone to, you don’t have to be drunk to do that sort of thing and based on my relatively limited experience in West Hollywood clubs, that kind of behavior probably isn’t anything unusual to Adam. If it’s any comfort, the guy and the girl seemed to really like it, lol. In the video I saw, the guy totally pulled Adam in (hot). :) Lauren, you’re so nice—I don’t get why you’re still here. Destry seems like a really rational person and even she didn’t like the craziness anymore.

    It just seems like most of you are middle-aged or at least over 30. I feel like you should be more mature. Or at least less obsessed with Adam, lol.

And I can’t stand batshit crazy “Glamberts”. Nor can I stand Glambert concern trolls such as your fucking self. I also doubt you are under 30, or that you’ve spent more than 5 minutes in WeHo. Perhaps you met someone there for lunch once, or drove through it.

      I’m sick of putting up with your shit. If you’re so much better than everyone, don’t come here. I’ll make it easy for you. I don’t feel like reading your diatribes anymore. I don’t feel like reading long-winded discussions about Kris Allen’s fraking video shoot, either, but you are truly one of the lamest, most irritating visitors in the history of this blog. Go on. Smile smugly and run to your twisted ONTD_IMINASMALLLOSERSECT friends.

        btw, I’m 21 and I grew up in LA. Not all of us are old and not all of us are liars. :)

        And for whatever reason, you guys are extremely bitter about Adam. And it’s just kind of creepy.

    • Salleyanne

      You’re more obsessed than most actual fans.

      Hahahahaha! That’s impossible.

    • Salleyanne

      Marissa I hate to break it to you but Lambert is not doing anything that wasn’t done before. He’s not “cutting edge” or original. Just a copycat of truly great performers (which he is just average at). I’m with TI, if you just come here to stir up trouble (and you do) go back with the other Glamberts at AO.

      Thanks TI for all you do. this is a great place to let some steam off when the Glamberts get too much to handle elsewhere. Love it here!

    • et

      Sigh, Marissa. You win the prize, you annoy the shit out of me more than any other poster here. Hurrah!

    • J

      Not obsessed with Adam but I will admit to enjoying the absurdity of his fan base. It makes me feel better about being a part of a sometimes over the top David Cook fandom. We can easily identify the two dozen or so truly crazy fans in the Cook world. With Adam’s fandom it’s easier to identify the two dozen sane ones. If finding joy in that makes me a bad person, oh well I can live with it.

    • jukejoint

      Lol, marrissatard. Why so obsessed with us?

  • J

    I just took a look at the gallery of glammed up photos. I think I’m going to have nightmares. Who the hell tarts up their four year old or brings them to an Adam concert?

    I don’t think drinking pre performance or even drinking on stage is uncommon. There’s a term for it in the industry, “red cup shows”. The red plastic cups you often see on stage at concerts usually indicate that they are allowed to drink during the show. I’m not an advocate of getting wasted while on the job but a beer over the course of the concert isn’t a big deal. Even Cook has imbibed during some of his concerts and he’s known as a pretty level headed and witty showman. The problem is when an artist gets so wasted they fall off the stage, go tongue diving or something equally stupid and dangerous.

    • wino

      i support drinking, smoking, whatever floats your boat as long as it enhances (or doesnt ruin) your act. i would think most performers do it at some point or another. not sure why this would be a shock do anyone. adam hasnt been ” family friendly american idol adam” ever since the AMAs…plus can you blame the guy for downing a few cocktails given his BSC following?

      • ross

        My problem is probably that I just think of him as a musical theatre guy. In the theatre, drinking before or during a show is frowned upon, to say the least. Unprofessional, and inconsiderate to the other performers. Of course in the rock world it’s no big deal, I guess. He’s not in the theatre, now, so I guess it’s no problem, as you guys said.

        not sure why this would be a shock do anyone. adam hasnt been ” family friendly american idol adam” ever since the AMAs

        I think the thing is, he said it was going to be a family friendly show, right?

        • jukejoint

          Yes, he said it was a family friendly show.

          No, he’s not a theater guy anymore. Right now, his theatrical exploits rank below:

          1. Justin Guarini, just announced for a major role in a new musical starring Broadway’s finest (Patti Lupone, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Laura Benanti, Sherie Rene Scott), based on the film “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.” Justin will be playing the role Antonio Banderas played in the film. Originating a role in a hotly anticipated musical is much better than anything Poobert has done.

          2. Constantine Maroulis, Tony-nominated for his role in that rock thing. He, too, originated a role in a Broadway show. That’s better than being a replacement, but not as cool as Justin because it was a lesser show. Well, that’s what people think now, anyway. I guess we need to wait till “Women on the Verge” gets out there and see the critical reception.

          3. Fantasia, who replaced the lead actress in “The Color Purple” to great acclaim.

          4. Diana Degarmo, who has done several roles in popular shows and just got announced in the touring cast of “9 to 5.”

          5. Taylor Hicks, who did the well-publicized cameo in “Grease” and toured with it.

          6. Ace Young, who did the lead in “Grease” for awhile and then moved into “Hair.”

          And LaKisha and Ruben and several others who’ve played leads in well-regarded shows regionally. Poohbert would rank below all of them. Which doesn’t mean he can’t do all of his shows drunk if he wants. Judy Garland did a lot of shows drunk. Steven Tyler may still be doing all of his shows high. And Poohbert’s fave movie has Ewan McGregor being an Iggy Pop-like guy snorting coke on stage while naked. (The real Iggy was doing commercials for an insurance company in England till he got banned for not really having that insurance. Plus he kept stage-diving after he said he wasn’t going to anymore and tore up his face.) It may mean Poohbert is a self-destructive headcase, but as long as his fans put up with it…

          • ross

            Judy Garland did a lot of shows drunk.

            No, she didn’t. I’m getting a little disturbed by these comments about Judy, jukejoint. Just saying.

            Judy couldn’t have done the amount of shows she did, at the quality level she did them, drunk. You realize that, among a lot of other memorable performances, she did a log run on Broadway, two shows a day, at the Palace? Could she have done that drunk? Mainly she had a prescription drug problem, which caught up with her at the end of her career. But she was usually sober onstage and gave her audeinces their money’s worth.

          • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

            Yeah let’s stop this before it goes any farther. Don’t think Lambert is a drunk and who the hell cares if he drinks before/during his shows? I just don’t want this to get into a shouting match. Trying to keep the peace!

  • Beanbag

    I have a question. I really don’t follow Lambert at all, but from what I’m reading here (and elsewhere) this is being justified somewhat by saying he was drunk?? Is this a regular thing with him – is he routinely drunk during his concerts? And do his fans think this is acceptable and rawk gawd? Have I used enough questions marks??

    Maybe being drunk is the only way he can get through some of these nights. Kidding – sort of.

    • et

      It’s rock ‘n’ roll, Beanbag. It’s just rock ‘n’ roll. (I find that line of argument hilarious, to be quite frank).

    • Bombycilla

      I’m not really sure why it needs any justification to be honest. He was just having some fun at his show. Some people are acting like he got blown on stage or something lol

      • FreeDavidCook

        His getting blown on stage would prolly be more interesting than most of what’s occurring during his show.

        • Bombycilla

          Well that is a matter of opinion I suppose. Just as I think the same could be said for Cook shows.

          • et

            What’s poor Cook have to do with it? LOL.

          • FreeDavidCook

            You obviously think I’ll give a rat’s patootie that you’ve drug Cook into the mix. I’m no fan of his. Insult away because it is the batshit crazy Lambert way to deflect any criticism of Adam onto other Idols. I think AI is a huge crock of shit that needs to end.

            Why so obsessional about defending a stranger who doesn’t give a pound of glitter bedecked crap about you?

          • et

            Ooohhh, lol, the Cook jab was aimed at *you* — someone hasn’t been paying attention around here, eh? ;)

    • jukejoint

      He’s doing Judy Garland around her “Summer Stock” phase. He’s dancing as fast as he can, taking his own tongue and screwing it on right and taking his act on the road!

  • nerdgirl

    So much for Glamittohell tour being “family-friendly” as was advertised in the beginning.

    Adam deserves every BSC fan that he has and it appears that his intention is to keep only the craziest ones. Any normal person with a shred of dignity would be repulsed by this behavior.

    Like attracts like.

    • Lauren

      I guess I’m not normal and don’t have any dignity then. *shrugs*

      • Dyneri1

        ur young still, there is hope for you. these other older fans, the dignity ship sailed a long, long time ago. to each their own, but i don’t see anything normal with adam getting this up close and personal w/ a complete stranger. singers who care about their throats and protecting their voices do everything to avoid situations like this, from that standpoint he’s opening himself up to some things that could affect him. not smart, not cool, not edgy – kinda desperate and undignified for someone with real talent like he possesses. there is no need, imo, for these kind of cheap thrills and sleazy stunts… he’s selling out for the fame and the attention, and that for someone with his talent is kinda pitiful.

        • Lauren

          I was being sarcastic…yikes. Anyway, while I do agree it isn’t right to kiss someone without their permission, I don’t think he was being desperate, just really drunk. Not that I am saying that makes it ok, but I would hope sober Adam has more sense than that.

          • Pandora

            Well, we’ll see if he keeps doing it…

          • JaneRochester

            Hangonjistacottonpickinminute.

            He was drunk DURING a performance????

          • ross

            Lauren, why are you saying he was drunk? Is that what people are saying? I’m sure that’s not true.

          • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

            I’m sure the guy drinks during some of his shows. Can you blame him? I certainly cannot. Imagine looking out and seeing…an entire #glamphoto contest right before your eyes. ;)

          • et

            Imagine looking out and seeing…an entire #glamphoto contest right before your eyes.

            Hahahaha. Yes, I am afraid that I cannot criticize if he chooses a few drinks as a coping mechanism. It’s like magic Hive-tolerance elixir!

          • Lauren

            Why does this surprise you guys so much? I am pretty sure he stated that he was drunk during his New Year’s show. Does that kissing really seem like the behavior of a sober man? My issue is, what if the Glamberts drive him to continue this pattern? I don’t want my obsession turning into an alcoholic!!!!!!! :/

          • ross

            Why does this surprise us? Performing is his job. People who drink on the job have a drinking problem.

    • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

      Why so much vitriol? I love laughing at batshit crazy Glamberts more than anyone, but why such strong feelings? It’s better to laugh at things rather than get so worked up about things that don’t matter.

      There are batshit crazy freaks about a lot of people, and Idol fans are among the worst, but there are more important things to CARE about.

      Was it stupid? Probably. If someone is dependent on their voice every night. Personally, I don’t think he looks like a good kisser. (He should also only be kissing Diva K at concerts, but whatevia.)

      • deez

        I would totally support that!

      • FreeDavidCook

        He should bring Diva Kalina on tour especially for kissing on stage!

  • miji

    Wow. Boyfriend does indeed like to walk on the wild side.

    • ophelia64

      The wild side? As in playing Russian roulette with herpes? Wild or stupid?

      • ross

        Gee, I’ve kissed a few people I didn’t really know. I didn’t think it was such a big deal.

        I hope this works. This is Jacob Hoggard of the Canadian band, Hedley, kissing a fan. But he had to climb inot the balcony first.

        • ross

          “into” the balcony, that is.

          • ross

            This is a better shot of how he climbed up. I’d like to see Adam try that.

        • Lauren

          I also don’t see the huge deal in kissing people you don’t know. My only thing is that he probably should have asked first. I didn’t even think about the diseases thing, I was just worried about whether or not the fans wanted to be kissed. It isn’t a huge deal anyway, he just needs to stop drinking before he performs.

          • Burgundy LaRue

            Yes, Lauren–I agree about the drinking. I get the impression he does it more than what’s advisable. But that’s just a guess on my part.

            If it was just a peck on the cheek, I wouldn’t think twice about it. But tongue-kissing a stranger is not smart. Too many diseases out there–mono, cold sores, whooping cough. Plus it’s just bad etiquette. What if those folks didn’t want to slobbered on? It’s kind of rude if you think about it.

          • ross

            Waaat? It was tongue kissing, literally? Sorry, that’s pretty gross. Yuch-ptooey.

          • Blue Eyes

            I think this creates a lot of jealousy and makes his fans even more batshit crazy to get his attention.

            Adam needs to be careful – he doesn’t know if anybody out there is really mentally unbalanced.

          • et

            Even me with my personal space issues would be ok with a little peck on the lips/cheek or a hug – but “tongue diving” is disgusting. You don’t go sticking your tongue down people’s throats. If nothing else it’s not safe (and yes, I’m a bit of a germaphobe).

          • jukejoint

            “This Is Spinal Tap” is one of my favorite movies, and this reminds me of the scene when they’re all in a hotel room and we just sort of notice that they all have big honking canker sores on their mouths.

            I just got back from vacation where we were eating out a lot and the last dinner we had before we left, I noticed the waitress had a red nose, like she had a cold. That seriously put me off my food at that place. I didn’t want to chance getting her germs. I can’t even imagine what I would do… Never mind. I can’t imagine myself at a Blamberger concert, anyway, so there’s no point in me getting into the potential lawsuits I could file and suchlike if he thrust his tongue down my mouth. Sheesh. Those two could make some serious cash. They should call up Kerry Kolsch to see if she wants to take the case(s). Assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress… And if either of them are under 18, it could get even more entertaining! Kerry should get on this as her way to meet her rawk gawd stah. Across a court, their eyes could meet. Before you know it, she could be the lucky tonguee! Excitement!

            I am torn between sort of being curious as to what totally desperate and ridiculous thing he’ll try next to keep his name on EXTRA and really not giving a flying crap.

            Yeah, I think I’ll go with the latter.

          • Dyneri1

            uh, no just no… kissing, especially mouth on mouth, is deeply personal, and to tongue kiss a virtual stranger – hale to the naw. that is just nasty to the extreme, and dangerous these days. adam just has no damn sense, and trying to slough it off on rock-n-roll and liquor and any other bs excuse doesn’t wash. nasty, stank nasty, ewww.

          • parsenip

            Adam needs to be careful – he doesn’t know if anybody out there is really mentally unbalanced.

            It’s a room full of Glamberts. I think there being a few mentally unbalanced in the audience is a given.

          • ross

            If it was just a peck on the cheek, I wouldn’t think twice about it. But tongue-kissing a stranger is not smart. Too many diseases out there–mono, cold sores, whooping cough. Plus it’s just bad etiquette. What if those folks didn’t want to slobbered on? It’s kind of rude if you think about it.

            I agree with this, but then I think, didn’t Adam meet that kid at the SF Idol auditions and sleep with him? You know, the guy who was boasting about it a few months ago? That was a stranger, as well. A lot of people sleep with strangers, so why are people worried about what you can pick up from a kiss? I mean, you’re right to be say it’s not smart, I agree. But offstage, it happens, most likely.

            I think it’s gross, though, to stick your tongue down someone audience member’s throat during your stage act!

            The thing is, I wanted to downplay it because to me it’s just one of those things Adam is always doing to be “shocking” that I absolutely find a big bore. I dislike that he gets attention for acting like a jerk, I guess.

          • Lauren

            Or so that boy claims…

            I don’t think Adam is getting any attention for this outside of the Idol bubble. I mean have you seen any articles written about it?

          • ross

            No. I guess I just meant he was getting attention inside the Idol bubble. Attention is attention.

          • deez

            I also don’t see the huge deal in kissing people you don’t know.

            :) (<—- imagine a faint blush)

  • undercooked

    From my understanding, Adam kissed both a boy and a girl in the audience during his encore. He had met them both before the show at a meet and greet. I suspect this was semi planned with the two fans.

    • caspar

      Wow. (If true). Were they of age? Did they all exchange medical records verifying that none of them have anything horrifying that could be contagious? This is beyond stupid. Even if one of the kissees has a cold, Lambert risks losing his voice/canceling shows, etc. just for a creepy stunt.
      I would almost find this more acceptable if, like the AMA debacle, it was a heat of the moment impulse. If it was actually a planned thing, it’s just grotesque.
      No, I don’t ‘get’ him.

            I remember long long ago when Bruce Springsteen’s video for “Dancing in the Dark” came out, where he pulled Courteney Cox from the audience to dance. He did start pulling girls from the front row on stage. And that was during a two-year sold out stadium tour (huge outdoor stadiums with capacity of 50K+ like the Meadowlands, RFK Stadium, Mile High Stadium, the LA Coliseum, NOT indoor arenas). Front row tickets were being scalped for THOUSANDS of dollars apiece.

I already had people try to trample me when I met him (and the 10-12 yr old girl in front of me that I had to shield with my big ass). I can’t imagine the feeding frenzy during a show, lol.

      • justpeachy

        Well, I guess given the nature of Adam’s shows, kissing fans does not seem shocking. But I seem to recall reading about an interview where Adam discussed having caught something. So, planned ahead or not, I would have had to decline.

        • et

          It doesn’t seem shocking to me, it seems to be his continued desperate attempts to be EDGY – you know, “Look at me! I kissed people at my show! LOOK AT ME!”

          Of course the media picks it up and he gets just the attention that he was looking for – so now we get to wait and see what he does next because he’s an edgy rawk gawd.

            It does smack of desperation, intended or not. It wasn’t a smart move, IMO. With whooping cough on the rise and all the colds most of us carry year-round, Adam is putting himself in potential danger to catch something that could prevent him from performing. Adam may have all his shots, but who’s to say that his audience does? You have to think about stuff like that before ‘tongue-diving.’

            For the record, ‘tongue-diving’ is a lame term.

            And what about all the zealots that are going to think about bum-rushing the stage in hopes of getting kissed? You know someone is going to try and get themselves thrown out of a concert. It’ll be ugly.

            I just don’t know about Adam. He’s a good singer. He seems like a decent guy. But it seems like he keeps trying to be something that he’s not and it’s annoying, not to mention boring. Every artist tries to find ways to make a mark. But it has to come from an organic place. If Adam just went for the over-the-top version of the club kid he is, I’d be fine with it. But this rock star persona? Not buying it. It’s not truly him. If he would just be who he truly is, I think most of us would appreciate him more.

        • Blue Eyes

          lol, I can picture a bitch fights between the 40-60 crowd and the 18-39 crowd for a kiss.

          That would be hilarious to watch.

          • et

            Maybe that’s part of my intense annoyance with him. The guy can SING – I think his voice is pretty exquisite. But I cannot get past all the extraneous bullshit.

          • Pandora

            Right, et. He CAN sing. It’s just that he’s using the voice for evil rather than good. And now the attention-whoring has just gone too far… what’s next? When kissing people in the audience becomes expected at his shows, is he going to start fondling people at random?

          • rehabilitard

            The scariest thing is that they are all expecting it now. I hope people keep their children away from front rows. Glamberts insanity just got turned up a notch.

          • Burgundy LaRue

            What happens next? Adam probably drops trou and exposes a glittery thong. There’s already video of him shaking his jewels, apparently commando. Dropping his pants is the future logical step.

        • et

          Haha, I would almost pay a little bit of $$ to see them all freaking out in the front row hoping they too can get some tongue diving on with Grand Poohbert Idol.

      If it was planned ahead, it doesn’t really bother me. It wasn’t the kissing that was wrong IMO, it was the fact that he didn’t know the people.

      • rehabilitard

        According to Erica, the girl who was kissed, it wasn’t planned. She posted her recap on AO.

        • On The Edge

          I always vowed I’d never go to AO, but dammit I GOTTA read this! Directions please?

          • Blue Eyes

            Just got back from reading at AO, which I haven’t done in a long time. Wow, so much cray!

            And, OMG, they are treating this Erica person like a celebrity! She is now the top Glambert tard.

          • Lauren

            …How young is this girl that he kissed? Please tell me that she just writes like a tween and isn’t actually one.

          • rehabilitard

            I think she is 26.

          • Lauren

            I guess she was so befuddled she reverted back to a younger age. xD

          • On The Edge

            Oh hell yes she’s top Glambert. She has visual evidence and witnesses! And she’ll stay up there until the next Glambert gets kissed at the next show…or until a Glambert produces a sex tape.

            And yep, now I’m nauseous.

          • Blue Eyes

            Erica is the girl in the middle, according to a poster on AO. She looks like late teens, early 20′s.

  • ross

    Not really on topic but just wanted to say Adam will be appearing in the Boston area (more or less) this weekend. At the Cape Cod Melody Tent (Hyannis), The South Shore Music Circus (Cohasset), and the Hampton beach Casino, in Hampton, NH. Two of these are SOLD OUT but there appear to be tickets for the Hyannis show.

    • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

      And I can’t wait for Hampton Beach. Heh heh.

    • auntieaimee

      Nothing in Boston, huh? I wouldn’t worry about it, it’s not like it’s a big college town.

    • mtlfan

      more opportunity for tonguediving which supposedly is more “IN” (no pun intended) than the crowddiving *eyes roll*
      I guess Adam will calm down after one or 2 infections

      • et

        Haha, that shit made me nauseous. He’s made my Glambertesque sister decide that he’s a bit trashy, lol.

        • DeeDee

          I’m a little upset because I heard about this tongue exhibition shit and I just ordered tickets for his show in Staten Island next week. Every time I think I’m judging him too harshly he pulls this kind of nonsense. I guess I can just keep my eyes closed. Funny thing is I asked my 23 year old daughter if she wanted to go with me and she looked at me as if I had two heads. Her exact quote was “I think Adam should be heard and not seen” LOL.

          • ross

            I didn’t hear about it. What are you guys talking about?

          • Lauren

            Adam randomly kissed a male audience member and called it “tonguediving”.

            Via Sour: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_9_wm7JP_UCo/TGttm2FI5SI/AAAAAAAAAK8/z5ai0FmNg7c/providencetcb3.gif

          • rehabilitard

            He kissed a girl, not a male.

          • Lauren

            Are you sure, I heard it was a boy…and the picture is quite fuzzy.

          • Blue Eyes

            It was a girl and a boy. The video was posted at MJ’s.

          • rehabilitard

            Apparently he kissed both, some girl named Erica and ssome guy. Mr Lambert was very busy last night. :)

          • muzikizmi

            If Adam grabbed me and planted a wet one, I would be digging in my purse for mouth bleach. While I do not consider myself to be a germaphobe, I prefer kissing the lower mileage models. I don’t want to swap spit that has lapped the globe hundreds of times.

          • Pandora

            If any stranger grabbed me and put his tongue down my throat, first I’d bite it, then I’d give a good hard knee to the balls.

        • mtlfan

          on mj, no one had commented on that when i last looked… lol … slippery ground

      • Lauren

        I was just wondering, how did he know that boy wanted to kiss him? I thought that was a bit trashy as well. Ehh.

        • et

          I just… I mean, fine, make out with your band or your dancers or whoever has consented to let you make out with them. But if someone did that to me I’d punch them in the face. Whether I would like to make out with them outside of the show or not. Do NOT stick your tongue in my mouth uninvited or I shall kick your ass ;)

          • Lauren

            I wouldn’t hit him if he kissed me, but then again I am a crazy fangirl. He cannot assume his entire audience is crazy fangirls/boys. It doesn’t bother me when he kisses Tommy since it obviously doesn’t bother Tommy.

          • et

            Right, I was going to go to a show with my sister and she’s a pretty big fan and I like him well enough but… Let’s put it this way. I am a major Cook fan (shock, I know) and I would be pissed if *he* pulled that shit. At least keep your tongue in your mouth. Hugging is fine, however, or a kiss on the cheek. Maybe I’m an old prude but any sort of kissing on my mouth is far too personal. Heh.

          • DeeDee

            Before I got married friends at work took me to a male dance place (Chippendales) and held money over my head (which I did not know) so that one of the dancers would kiss me. It was absolutely disgusting!

          • maturin

            What if I went around sticking this monster…uh, tail, in people! You all would probably object!

          • ross

            Okay, thanks for the video. I didn’t watch all of it because it’s so slow, but I get the idea.
            I still have no opinion about it because it’s all too vague. Probably just the usual Adam stunt. I guess I’ve seen it all before with other celebritites and I’m bored with it. Also, his fake bad-boy persona bores me no end. I mean, there have been real rock bad boys and honey, you aren’t one of them.

      • sj

        From Adam’s twitter:
        “TongueDiving is the new StageDiving. Get Into It”

        No thanks, Adam, no fucking thanks.

        • et

          Sometimes I feel bad that I’m hard on the guy – and then he tweets something stupid and arrogant like that. LOL.

        • Blue Eyes

          Adam’s Tweeter feed exploded after he tweeted that! Good grief!

          • et

            Exploded like if I have a few drinks I should read it for entertainment or like it would take a few drinks to bleach my brain? :)

          • Blue Eyes

            Guess it depends how you look at it. I read it for entertainment, because nothing shocks me anymore when it comes to Madam’s tards. But if you’re offended by sexual tweets about his peen, orgasm and other inappropriate sexual tarding, I guess you would need brain bleach.

          • et

            Honest question: Why do women want to talk about his peen? He’s gay, no? So… not interested in using his peen on… them?

            Ah well. The mysteries of the world.

          • et

            Oh, apparently I shouldn’t be offended by that sort of behavior because it is ROCK AND ROLL.

            Of course. Rawk Gawd and all that.

          • Blue Eyes

            I have no idea, but Idol fans seem to be more interested in their Idol’s peen than their Idol’s music, whether they are gay or not.

            I remember when I was a soul patrol tard, one of his tards created a myspace page devoted to Taylor’s peen.

          • et

            (That sort of thing being “tongue diving”)

          • et

            UGH. Yeah, I don’t see the peen obsession either way. I once innocently wandered into a thread on Cook’s site devoted to “the fanbase” and I… I have no words.

          • et

            Though the idea of a Peen-Page on MySpace is hilarious in a horrifying sort of way. Soul Patrol! Soul Patrol!

          • Blue Eyes

            It was horrifing. Tons of photos of his crotch. I really have to wonder on the mental state of some of these Idol fans.

          • Blue Eyes

            I remember she called the page the “Soul Pole”! LOL!

          • et

            Yeah, that horrifying “fanbase” thread was all crotch pics, too. And you know, it wouldn’t be *quite* so bad if they were coming from like younger girls but… the peen pic culprits seem to be the older set. And it’s… ugh. I guess part of my issue with it is if, say, Mr. Cook posted a pic of some girl’s boobs and commented on them… wouldn’t people be pissed that he was objectifying a woman?

          • et

          Or, barfing is the new response to anything and all Lambert. I used to hate the Glamberts and be noncommittal on him… now, IMO, he’s as bad as any of them.

          • ophelia64

            It’s (the glambert/lambert) kind of a weirdly sick symbiotic thing isn’t it? I was the same as you Pandora, in fact I was pretty much on the sometimes that guy can really sing train. But, he really just seems so contrived to me now. It’s like I want to say “just sing stupid; don’t screech, don’t stick your tongue out on the high notes or down anyone’s throat, don’t fondle yourself or your bass player, don’t think you have to wear every sparkly, feathery, leathery, strange thing ever made. I want music, and I want him to quit being (insert the name of your favorite famewhore here). I don’t want to hear about his “peen” or what straight women want him to do to them. And I want him to quit encouraging them. Sigh. Of course, I could just ignore it all. It is so definitely not about what I want. But it does seem like I’m (we’re) being cheated out of something because he won’t _just_ sing pretty, damn it.

  • nerdgirl

    Wanted to say something snarky about all of this, but it is kind of sad. Can’t Adam direct his fans energy into something more constructive or he loves himself so much that he wants to see other people dressed like him. Does it mean that 50 years from now Elvis impersonators will be replaced with Adam Lambert impersonators?

    • barado

      For some reason your last sentence sent a chill down my spine. Thanks a lot!

    • undercooked

      One of my kids watches the cartoon “Total Drama Action.” The show, (I think it’s either on Boomarang or Cartoon Network) is currently having a contest where viewers are asked to dress up like their favorite TDA character and send a photo in. Those who look most like the characters will win prizes. I don’t think look alike contests are all that unusual.

      I recall David Cook having a contest where aspiring singers could record themselves singing LO and Cook would judge the recordings and pick the best. I think RCA/19 likes to have contests to keep the interest going in their AI artists.

      • Salleyanne

        At least Cook’s was just singing and not looking like a clown.

          And the winner was a little boy, as I recall. I won’t be surprised if ‘Adam’ (some RCA intern) picks a child to win. Or a cat.

    • Burgundy LaRue

      Yeah, this seems juvenile. Even Justin Bieber offers tickets to his shows and he’s a fetus. Someone in Adam’s camp is a glutton for punishment to deal with this potential nightmare. Or maybe they’re just trying to get tabs on possible stalkers and send names to the cops. In that case, this is a great idea.

      • On The Edge

      I bought these goggles this guy had designed, hand-painted, et al. Because I don’t do the whole costume thing and use little things to look all “desert-appropriate.” They are black with blue paint and there are spikes. These were the cheapest ones. There are only 2 spikes, didn’t really want spikes because I’m clumsy, but anyhoo, I bought these damn things and thought it would be hilarious if I wore them to a Glamnation show. HA. Luckily, I fought the urge and packed them on the truck.

  • OvenMitt

    Imagine how much money these people are going to spend buying outfits and accessories specifically for this photo shoot. If Adam’s team was REALLY savvy, they would have already developed some Hot Topic capsule collection of Adam accoutrements with which his minions can “glamify” themselves. Nevertheless, this should prove to be a barrel of laughs. Between Goatboy’s album updates and this sideshow, I’m going to be fully engrossed this fall.

            You could probably get one of the Glambert’s to adopt him if he won the contest. They’d fight over him!

    • vtu

      Well, it’s a one-of-a-kind (as in one winner for this contest), official, contest-winning, personally-signed-by-Adam item, and he’ll be picking the winner, so he’ll know the winners face and have a personal connection to the winner, so this is really very exciting?

      LOL. I’m excited what are the “looks” Glamberts come up with to stand out. I do wonder if they will allow kids to join this contest because pretty sure, there will be some Glammamas going to glam-up their children to charm Adam.

        Are you kidding? Glammamas will use every trick in the book to stand out. Thanks to someone on Twitter, I’m now wondering how long it will be before the pics start to get risque. Eeek!

        Seriously, this would be kind of a fun idea if Adam’s fans were all little kids (who love to play dress-up and who get excited about winning tacky crap), but for his *current* fanbase, this is just plain weird.

          Speaking of risque images, I was reminded of video I saw in youtube that had a pic of a Glambert in her bathtub and there was one laying in her bed. *vom*

    Seriously, TI, I was practically tripping over myself to get over here and post this. I nearly posted at MJs to ask if this was a point and laugh, but didn’t want to hear it. One of the funniest (it’s early — no pictures yet) things so far is the dozen or so fans from other countries complaining that they can’t make fools of themselves too. Then, one fan from Portugal, or something, says, but if the whole world could do it, Adam wouldn’t be able to look through all of the pictures himself to pick the winner. Like that’s going to happen anyway. I envision hours of enjoyment long about Sept. 15.

    It’s the glampocalypse for sure.

    Oh my!! This is going to be funny and terrifying at the same time. I can’t wait for the photos.
