Adam Lambert 24/7 News

Adam on the night show; what a coo! Just wonderful and exciting. Will be front row center in my living room! lol! Our hard working Baby is promoting like hell; and it is wonderful to see him get so much exposure. All I can say is congratulations and, "He works hard for the Money", to borrow a phrase from a song!
Can't wait to see him tonight! Hope Jimmy's ratings are extra high!

Not the best review, but decent from the usually very critical NY Times. Too bad he 0bviously hasn't had the opportunity to experience the blues side of Adam (Red House, Jimi Hendrix)live. Adam always shines to the max live.

I have come to the conclusion that i hate the NY Times....bunch of assholes....

Often times, music critics are frustrated musicians/music lovers. They're people who could not mount to anything musically in their own lives and decided to "critique" others who do all the lenghty work of putting out full length albums. I always read reviews with that in mind and, more importantly, always remember that in the end, if PEOPLE love an artist's work, that's what counts. Like Adam's dad Eber (@milestougeaux) quoted on his twitter page, "In the vast scheme of things there's really very little scheme". So true. Fans should take critics album reviews with a grain of salt, great or not so great as they are. If you LOVE the music, you LOVE the music, period. Who cares what those guys think or write?

Your opening lines are very true imho 4:21. I don't say that just because I want success for TOH, which I do, and I don't mean to be pouty because the NY Times review was a less than stellar review (actually, I'm pleased with it, considering it's the NY Times and reviewers from NYT generally have a goal of showing their own intellect and knowledge first and foremost), but I agree with your opening comments 4:21 just because there is fact to what you say in the beginning of your comments, I agree, and I am glad you shared your thoughts. Thx

Is this the same guy who critiqued the queen + adam lambert tour stop at Madison Square Garden and accused the band of using recorded backups, because they were too perfect. Brian May made it perfectly clear that he considered the accusation an insult! Glitzylady, am I mistaken?

Here we go with the childish hate again just because you don't agree with a reviewer. Do you hate movie critics when you disagree with their review of a movie?

No~ its not the same critic who wrote the Queen/Lambert review last summer. That was Jon Pareles.

IMO, Caramanica strains just a tad too hard to produce a simulacrum of originality in his quest to regurgitate what others have already said before and with better style. Egadz … here our NYT critic Caramanica manages to mix his metaphors and blend "at first blush" with "in first flush" in order to produce the following wad of nonsense: "On first flush Adam Lambert was outlandishly specific." Say wot?

5:26 PM, your writing style sounds similar to his.

5:26 to 5:33. U caught on exactly!

Critics do tend to like the sound of their own writing, and probably wish they could write a great novel. Music critics, food critics, theatre critics - you can easily tell the good ones, and any of their negative comments are at least informed. The not-so-good ones fill the air with bafflegab. Best to ignore them. (although I admit to amusement at the description of Kris Allen as a rice cake ...)

There's nothing wrong with this review. Why are people so precious? Geezuz, the reviewer said one thing that people don't like and all hell breaks loose. It was an unkind comment about Kris Allen but there are Glamberts who seem to enjoy that. I think it was a very fair review; there have been a lot worse.

I am a fan of Jon Caramanica's reviews, most of them, and I am glad that he took some precious minutes of his time to write a review on The Original High. Jon Caramanica is a respected voice in current music criticism, I like the way , intelligent way, he writes about one album or another, one singer or another without explicitly expressing a good/bad opinion in the end. It is the appanage of brilliant reviewers.But, not this time,"...may have been saved by modesty" ?, what does modesty have to do with artistry, does really Jon Caramanica think that the musicians he usually writes about are...modest? I think that most of them are not natural narcissists, they become narcissists, and that's not a guess. What saddens me is that the review seems to have been written "on the knee", a word by word translated from Romanian expression which means in a great hurry, without too much research on the subject.I can sense it, I cannot put my finger on it as it is so subtly used, the ex cathedra tone of the review. Yes , I know, Jon Caramanica is knowledgeable, I'm not, but as unknowledgeable might I be , patronizing is not my favorite way of understanding things.
All the best to everybody, fellow fans, reviewers!

This reviewer sounds like a intelligent music lover to me. His observations are mostly spot on.

My hope #1
ADAM sells loads and will be able to tour asap. Next year sounds fine imo, by then he has had enough time to get totally comfortable with his new music, pick those "oldies" that need to be in the tour set list (hopefully he can leave WWFM where it belongs, in history, jmo) and hopefully has a skilled permanent (for the tour) band (plus possible dancers & back up singers?) so he can totally & fully concentrate on performing LIVE just the way only Adam Lambert can...

My hope #2
People like this critic/reviewer will be there to see and experience it all... LIVE!!!

My hope #3
I will be able to see more than 1 show... (as was the case for GNT and WAG).


ADAM, The Light, The Light, The Light, The Light, The Light !!
