Adam on Barbara's 10 Most Fascinating People 2009 - Wait There Are Other Fascinating People Besides Adam?
Controversy, controversy, controversy. If you listened to any media reports last week that's all you would hear with regard to Adam Lambert. AMA's, AMa's, Ama's, ama's ... Is there an echo in all the media reports or what? Yeah Adam was on the AMA's - rocked it - caused some people to love it, some people to not love it - now get over it already media. (Is it the elite media - I forget - don't know anymore - I'm all confused.)
Then ABC cancels him - blah, blah, blah - we all know the rest. But wait ...
What's this?
He's going to be on Barbara Walter's 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009? Hold on - Adam Lambert is being mentioned in a title with the word Fascinating all by itself? No controversy - no sexual acts on stage. What?
Did the trade winds just change direction? Did the magnetic pole move? Is Antartica still covered with ice? At least that is where the mainstream media would seem to lead us to believe if Adam is merely a great singer, and performer, and fascinating and creating the new mainstream in popular culture and not just some controversial icon that they can only ask a few soundbite questions of.
Are you gay?
Are you sorry for your performance on the AMA's?
I mean really Mainstream media - really? This is all you've got. How old are you Mainstream media. Do you need to be sat in a high chair and fed lunch. Does Mainstream media need a diaper change? Has Mainstream media been good? Have you been good Mainstream media? Oh that's a good Mainstream media.
But wait - yes, I heard it correctly - Adam is merely fascinating in this title. Let me check everything is ok. Nope - no brimstone falling from the skys outside. Ok, so maybe this is actually happening. I mean maybe Barbara will ask Adam one of those totally cheesy questions - "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?." Hmmm. Well, at least it's a start I guess :-)
Then ABC cancels him - blah, blah, blah - we all know the rest. But wait ...

CBS Probably High Fiving Right Now - Adam Available To Other Networks
Ok, probably Adam pissed off some high-up executive at ABC following the AMA's for whatever lame reason, and the exec is making bad decisions right now out of anger/spite you name it. And yeah, I had requested tickets online to go see Adam on Jimmy Kimmel, and so was dissapointed to hear that was not going to happen.
So Adam just tweeted - Let's focus on the positives: Well, I for one agree, and here is why.
1.) Adam is now available to the other networks who want to compete for the guy that the paparazzi is going nuts over, and following everywhere. In short where all the buzz is at. As in the title - CBS must be jumping for joy right now. Remember they cleared the decks right after the AMA's to have Adam on.
2.) The other networks are getting a two-for. Not only is Adam available, but with ABC canceling Adam, they've stirred up yet more controversy for him, and so offering even more free publicity and reasons to watch Adam!! Who do you think typical non-conformist teens want to see more of right now? Those safe picks that ABC will put on now or the guy that ABC is telling you not to watch - ( Whatever you do - don't press the red button)
3.) Money talks, and even though Adam's first week sales were a little under the prediction curve, he still sold close to 200K albums in the first week. That's 2 1/2 times Kris sales with his album. Who do you think networks who are thinking clearly want to bet on?
4.) ABC has got a weak bluff in poker terminology. Barbara Walters was adamant that she believed her network was making a huge mistake in canceling Adam on GMA. So what next. Is ABC going to inform Barbara she can not have Adam on her 10 Most Fascinating People for 2009? ABC vs Barbara Walters - I don't think so. So in the end Adam will be on ABC by proxy anyway, and in the meantime, they have only served to prop up Adam's notoriety even more.
5.) Let's not forget what happened at the AMA's. Out of all these big name artists - many with their own controversy and such (Like Lady Gaga, Eminem, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, blah blah blah) - who was everyone talking about afterwards? Now only Adam could have accomplished that feat.
I think overall Adam is a superstar and by trying to hold him back right now - ABC is making themselves look rather small with their childish ill-informed decisions, and are going to have the opposite effect. They are currently turning Adam into an even greater superstar. Just check out how many new twitter followers Adam has gotten since the AMA's.
So yeah, let's look at all the positives right now because in the long run there is a lot to look forward to regarding Adam. We're talking a whole lake of lemonade out of lemons here :-)
