His #Trespassing was released in Russia and was for the long time the best seller in online shops. So it is confirmed info. It was 43 weeks in TOP-20 in Belarus. But we were lack of good video to get better promo here in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. Thanks to Queen - Adam had promo here, not to RCA]]></description>

You have no counter argument, only your tainted opinion. The fact remains that Adam was voted in each night and yet was not played during any other time when it is the management that dictates what will be played.  You are aware of that I presume.  If you think there is such a concentration of Glamberts in the Chicago area then why were their requests for his music outside of those voting hours ignored.  It&#039;s easy for them to say no one requested his music when there are no means to dispute that.  What the voting allowed was a viewable format to see how your requested song moved up the list into the top spot....no denying that.  Not only will he be on Glee but something is in the works for him to front Queen again.  As far as his acting skills..he&#039;s been performing in music theater since age 10.  Despite the fact that the musical &quot;The 10 Commandments&quot; flopped, he was the only cast member to receive positive reviews.  So thanks for sharing your opinion, but I think I&#039;ll keep my own.]]></description>

Ah, yes, that time-honored argument. &quot;My favorite artist would be huge if he wasn&#039;t being held back by THE MAN!&quot; A true classic.
  How about this for a counter-argument: Lambert got the same chance at success as everyone else (actually more, he sang his songs on American Idol, which gave him massive exposure).  His album didn&#039;t take off because it didn&#039;t connect with the general public.  Those &#039;vote your song&#039; polls, and online polls, are meaningless because they&#039;re spammed by the same small group of Glamberts who spam everything (the radio stations and websites say thanks for the hits, btw - they&#039;re using you to raise their advertising rates, but of course you knew that already). 
  And now Lambert&#039;s on Glee. Good for him, at least it&#039;s steady work and he&#039;ll get to sing.  His acting is sub-par, however. I hope he gets an acting coach.]]></description>

I think he has done quite well with what he has to work with.  Reviews of &quot;Trespassing&quot; were awesome, yet he received little to no radio play.  The supposed reason was people were not requesting it.  However, I live near Chicago and one of the stations had a &quot;vote your song&quot; to the top every week night from 8p-12m.  Trespassing and others were voted to the top within the first hour and sometimes even a second time.  I believe the big wigs at the stations intentionally withheld his music for whatever reason.  So excited that he will now be on Glee.]]></description>

So how come they didn&#039;t buy his album? Geez, if even half of those &#039;coupla billion&#039; folks had bought Trespassing, it would have sold a billion copies! Heck, if even a QUARTER of those people bought the album it would have boosted his worldwide total substantially. Why didn&#039;t they buy the album if they love him so much?  Do you know?]]></description>

I like Adam fine - or, rather, I don&#039;t DISlike him. I don&#039;t think he&#039;s a very smart businessman, however. Just wanted to clear that up.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thanks Matt for a balanced article. Adam&#039;s tour with Queen was so fantastic as was his recent concerts in Orlando and San Diego. Sorry for all the hate in the comments, but that apparently comes with fame and attention. Hope the new music--whatever it is--comes soon. Knowing Adam&#039;s love for originality and current pop, I cannot see him doing covers...at least many of them.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In my opinion Adam needs to develop his own creativity, continues to do something new which will surprise world, because we already heard those songs. It`s not intresting. However I  hope Glamberts will support  his decision anyway]]></description>
