I do know my music and I grew up in the 60's, 70's, 80's cause I'm old. I also grew up overseas so folks having a crisis over Adam Lambert's sexuality and his performance on the AMAs crack me up. They obviously have never been in a club in London and haven't walked the bars in Thailand. Oh well. I will say Adam's debut album is incredible. It does mesh genres and it does have a refreshing sound. Yes one song on his record brings back the scissor sister techno sound beat which is funny. For those of you not familiar with Scissor Sisters they were a fairly well known pop band that played in the London's underground and DJs would have disco wars against one another utilizing their sound. Similar to what is happening now with Adam Lambert's CD in Miami. Although now the DJs are also hosting dance crew competitions in the clubs and these crews are dancing off to FYE mixers. The heavy hitter clubs are playing Adam's music. It may take a while but the radio will start playing more of his music once it is released as singles. For now you have to call in if you want it played. One other thing on Scissor Sisters. They were not well received in the US. Folks thought they were too extreme and controversial. Afterall they are named after a sexual act between two lesbians but overseas they were pretty big.

I just listened to Adam's ENTIRE album yet again, and EACH TIME I hear something that I didn't hear before. The album is great. You have to have a sense of music history to understand it. Having grown up with 60s, 70s, 80s, etc. music, this hits it all, even today's electronic sounds are in it. It is like a feast of music genres. I admit that at first glance, just listening to snippets, did NOT do it justice. You have to listen to each song, each stands on its own, and each has its own vibe. It never gets boring and gets better with each play. Love it. Way to go Adam!

Adam has balls of steel and the album ROCKs!!! Love Adam and love his music and his performances. I hear his album is doing extremley well. Only beaten by Susan Boyle who is being sold on QVC - the number one retailer in the US and of course to a block of people that know nothing about downloading for free. Adam is rockin it!!

OK, I am a diehard Adam fan, and would NEVER EVER abandon Adam, no way no how. I regret all of the so called "former Adam fans" who knee-jerked and failed to support Adam. They are cowards and not really true fans. Anyone who has followed Adam from the beginning knows that he is genuine, that he is honest, that he is an artist, that he is indeed an entertainer, and has an extraordinary voice and stage presence that cannot be matched. Shame on all of those who left Adam's side when he needed you most. This admirer will always support Adam and his work. He is a great artist who will be loved by millions now and for years to come.

Is this kid for real? Who gets this amount of public scrutiny (of both his private and professional life), this amount of expectation (already being matched up to Gaga), and this amount of heavy duty critiquing of a debut album - AND doesn't fold. Lambert creates and navigates crises like a sailor learning the ropes on high seas. Always candid, articulate and intelligently self-aware, he shows he's got the right stuff for fulfilling artistic vision; he's a risk taker who learns as he goes. FYE is a daring debut album, as is the video for his debut single. He takes a dance song out of the club and into the kind of edgy, classy, Berlinesque decadence that Prince embodied! Way to go Lambert!

'I wanted to create the most eclectic album possible, almost like a playlist,' he says of following his 'Idol' formula.
