Adam Lambert's CD cover was a nod to 1970's (& '80s) glam androgony, ala David Bowie's "Honky Dory" album cover. David Bowie is a man whose look Adam Lambert tried to emulate on his album cover. There's no reason to believe Adam intended to look like a female. Neither is there any cross-dressing pictured on the cover or inside the cover. Also, Adam is pictured shirtless on the cover and wearing men's pants. Not many cross-dressers or females sport that look. ☺ Adam is just being Adam! ♥
Actors, musicians, and ANY and ALL persons who appear on television - and who take photographs for magazines, print ads, etc. - (including newscasters, Jerry Springer guests, and reality show personalities) have to wear some kind of make-up - including the heavier, paint like stage make-up that theatre (and other) actors wear. It's often REQUIRED and all a part of the "business". So even when you think someone, including a man, is not wearing make-up - THEY ARE! Nothing "drag" about it.
@kris4music Hi. Actually you should look up what a Drag Queen really is. It's not just make-up & cross-dressing alone. So...we should all just drop this topic. I love Kris & his music by the way.
I've never undressed Adam, so I have NO IDEA what is in his underwear. However, I DO KNOW he is a very truthful and self-aware human being. So if he says that there is no padding "down under", then I believe him. ☺ Adam has told truths on many occasions when his management wanted him to say lies. His integrity is golden.♥
#1 You can NEVER have enough FACTS. They help you to inform intelligent, sound and accurate decisions. Use them to dispel any confusion you may have. ☺ That's the good thing about FACTS. They cut through the Bull Sh*t! ☺
#2 The numbers speak for themselves. They give an approximate number of the revenue generated purely from album and single sales. For example, if an album sold for #12.99 and that album sold 500,000 copies, then the sales of that album would be $6,495,000. They CLEARLY are not numbers derived from contractual aggreements, endorsements, royalties, etc. They CLEARLY are not personal earnings. No accountant needed. ☺
1. Soundscan DOES NOT COUNT ♫ SALES THAT ARE LESS THAN 50% OF MSRP. [url + bitdotly] /9p49iy ( 7th ¶ ) Adam's cheapest "regular" price on Amazon was $10.99.
1. Adam's ALBUM = Gold → 500,000 X $12.99 = $6,495,000 in Earnings
"WWFM" SINGLE = Gold → 500, 000 X $1.29 = $645,000 in Earnings
2. Kris' SINGLE = Platinum → 1,000,000 X $1.29 = $1,290,000 in Earnings
3. Adam's Mp3 CD sold @ Amazon 4 ONLY 48hrs @ $3.99. If u had special coupon for $3 off, u could buy it for $0.99. ALL digital ♫ sales account for 3% of TOTAL.
The dollar figures are NOT public knowledge, only the copy numbers by now. IF (big IF) you are doing the accounting for both Adam and Kris, show us the reports!!!!
Yeah no. They're not friends. Adam embarasses himself by chasing Kris. Kris ignores him, or gives polite but negative answers when asked about Adam. Kris has moved on and wants nothing to do with Adam, who gets scarier and more desperate every day.
Hey, TMZ. Did you know Kris's single "Live Like We're Dying" is platinum and a top 10 hit on the pop charts? Did you know he is doing some tour dates opening for Keith Urban this summer? Did you know he went to Haiti & is getting ready to go to Rwanda with Toms Shoes? Yeah, you choose to ignore that kinda stuff, right?
This was funny! Kris is so nice to people, that's what's great about him. Though...I dont know why the TMZ guy refer to Adam's makeup as drag makeup? Adam says he's not drag queen, only the occasional Halloween costume.
Really? You people are still doing this? ...Adam and Kris are FRIENDS, they LIKE each other...they're both HAPPY, doing their own things and making a LOT of money. Time to let it go people...Grow up.
Kris CD was sold for 3.99 the same as Adam's. You got it for .99 cents because they also had a coupon for all albums running that week. So they both had the sale.
@goldieliu Yes they both had the 3.99 sale. And if people had a coupon they could have gotten Kris for .99 cents too. They were not on sale the same week. Who really cares at this point.
@Squirrlie Sorry, but your wrong. Kris did NOT have that discount promotion at Amazon. The only 'on sale' he had was when iTunes had ALL Idol albums for $7.99 a few weeks ago as an AI promotion.
@xxlambertloverxx I was responding to the person that said Adam was gold because his album was on sale for .99 cents. I was done talking about because it wasn't worth arguing over. I am posting now just to respond to you. It's really no bigger and I wasn't arguing just stating what I knew.
duuude.yeah, sorry I gotta agree, I'm not even a lambert fan, but ya'll do seem bitter as hell. He seemed like he was just joking around, I would not want you people for my fans....just saying!

You guys should stop with the fan wars. Both guys are doing what they do, and for Kris fans , what does it matter what age Adam's fans are, everybody pay the same price for cds and tickets. Your hate is showing. Adam Lambert's cd went gold here and overseas. Being mean won't help either artist, and it probably annoys the hell out of them. TMZ lurks around to create dissention. Stop playing their game, they're embiciles!
@eternalblue let us say 'krisberts' then are bitter. The Kris fans who ARE bitter. And you as well as I they exist, just like some glamberts are rude and bitter.
Wow, I did not think kris was slamming Adam at all. He seemed to be annoyed at the question, even saying he probably should wear makeup that it would "be better"....he has always said he is a good friend to Adam. You kris fans make me wonder if he has been lying this whole time...hmm....I did not think nice guys were supposed to lie about things like friendship.......I am so confused by your fans, Kris, they really paint a bad picture of your character when they do this....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LOL good for you Kris! And nice slam on Adam, too. Better to play theme parks and be yourself than wear scary makeup and fake bulges in a casino filled with courgars somewhere ;)
@theelenalana That was not a slam at Adam. He was joking around. Adam and Kris are friends who were roommates throughout the competition. I don't think either guy would appreciate some of their fans' need to diss the other. They are both talented and nice guys.
Nice to see Kris is doing concerts with some of the top selling artists where young people go. Oh, and the Hard Rock in Vegas ... instead of playing to glittered up 80 year olds in Indio .
Congrats, Kris on your shows with One Republic at Six Flags and opening shows for Keith Urban and Daughtry later this year! Congrats on the success of your platinum-selling single that recently made #10 pop!
