[bibozs95]

:')

[countrywifeyy24]

he is such a gentleman... thank you guys for being so helpful. god bless

[adamlambertluva62796]

You guyz r so amazing.

[dreadnought87]

$49K now! I can't believe how much we've raised. Through our giving, we are making a positive difference in the lives of schoolchildren across America. It's so wonderful! :)

[BetrisOfficial]

I'm a member of a different group, but just want to say you did a great job with this video. And, after all, we're all donating for the same reasons. The more the better.

[xSarah47]

Wow...very well done...great job.

[lolitaxdarling]

i think my adam love was peeking through a little there.

[olismithyy123]

WOW. 0:43 really got me <3 *wipes away tear*

[indyjonesluvr]

This is really fine work you folks are doing, kudos! Thanks for sharing! :D

[ryuuseicha]

So all this drama was caused by someone commenting and not knowing what they're talking about? Awesome.

[coconutghosts1]

LOL IKR.

[pingusworld]

MORE <3 LESS H8.

KTHXBYE.

[shamrockavenue]

Anyhow, let's not lose focus and provoke people T_T

[shamrockavenue]

SunboXUK is confusing me lol.

adam gets literally ~thousands of gifts which he obviously can't keep so he donated a lot of them to charity and asked his fans to please do the same instead of spending that money on him.

no one knew the charity would blow up so much but it's so cool that is has. and even cooler that ontdai an lj comm of broke college kids is leading. i'm way proud of us. i <3 donating to charities & volunteering believe it or not. in fact, i donate to charity every 6 months :-)

[SaphireN19]

Your voice is so pleasant and pretty cheapxdate. :)

Keep this going (Y). There are 5000+ members in the comm, even if everyone gave just $1 the result would be amazing. The total's surpassed $70 already! I love donating to charities even when I'm broke lol.

[champ505]

Hey SunboXUK!! You know what dickhead, you want to donate to Afghanistan, go right ahead. Don't ever knock someone else's choice when it comes to charity. Damn are you an asshole.

Love you Adam, thanks for being you! I donate to animal organizations with time and money. You got a problem with that too you dickhead SunboXUK!!

[SunboXUK]

What a guy! Is he helping education in Afghanistan,and other invaded and/or troubled countries?

[ihendriiix]

WOW WTFF! Are YOU donating to Afghanistan? YES? Wonderful. NO? STFU. In future he can donate to/promote controversial global causes IF he wants but don't EVER slate charity. EVERY charity is WORTHY. Every single one. I LOVE that he promoted DonorsChoose, it's a f-n genuine, trustworthy active charity so close to his heart that needed exposure. I love it when causes no one know about are lit up. I donated to the autistic kids thru this & don't you dare tell me those kids are not worthy douchebag.

[lovereignnn]

how about more helping and donating and less pretentious obnoxious hatred SunboXUK? sick.

[SunboXUK]

Theres no need for insults. I was making a satirical point about wider issues.

Go and watch some Derek and Clive. As for Mr Lambert-hes just a puppet and a parody for the wrong side of the money machine of the music business.

And YES, we're involved in LOTS of campaigns-unfortunately,we didnt win "Sing Covers,and Look Pretty Idol" or whatever its called-so dont have Simon Cowells backing or cash-lol. If you wish to comment further ask Simon Cowell.Or i can give you his email address?

[Springsteen870]

Adam's talent is INSANE. Why do u think Slash, May, Zeppelin, Manson, Jules, Burton & a shitton of other legends respect him? I f-n hate the Idol machine. He's a puppet lmao. A puppet who songwrites, how does that work again buddy? A puppet who single-handedly shook Idol up so much so that legends & mockers took notice. Turned it on its head, didnt & doesnt give a fcuk. Guts, brains, personality, talent, blunt honesty. & what do u know, he didn't win "sing cover Idol", safe pretty-boy did !

[CAPLOCK7]

HAHAHA. Do u know anything about Adam? LOL @ u calling him a puppet when he's such an in ur face puppeteer lmao. I love that he full out broke & bent the rules & pushed America's buttons. Love that he's NEVER in the box & that he constantly evolves musically & stylistically. He's an entertainer not a world leader. He's been in the performance side of this business for years & now finaaaaalllly has the chance to produce & mix & make an album. Wtf is ur beef? HATE pretentious people like YOU.

[SunboXUK]

Hate is a strong word.,my friend? He undoubtedly has stage presence and talent. Who knows..he could well become the next Michael Jackson.;) That aside, this video is a cynical sugary win-over. I dont see Slash/Zeppelin/Radiohead etc etc putting videos like this on youtube?-and Radiohead etc do far FAR more for world causes..but they wouldnt make a video like this to tell everyone.

[CAPLOCK7]

Huuuuhhhhh.......?

He didn't make this lollll. Cheapxdate did very quickly on behalf of the comm. LOL, wtaf?

(And JSYK, I do not think he will become the next MJ at all and nor does he. Nooo one will become the next MJ)

[SunboXUK]

Re MJ..thank god for that!lol. Still, he likes cupcakes..so thats good.

Yes, we're sorry, we're in the UK, and no-one we ask has ever heard of him.But we DID note several unnecessary very abusive comments from people directed at our friend DJ Laura Krier at Fame Games.Smacks of obsessive/defensive hysteria.Hes trying to look like Brian Molko/Bernard Butler btw..so not all bad. We donate to several charities too.

[JStevens988]

lol and wtf at the puppet comment when it's someone like adam who scared america and critics and had the producers literally bending backwards agreeing and doing everything he politely asked of them. he's in control of his album just like he was in control of the show just like he was and is in control of the press interviews and conferences. you sound like an arrogant douche trying to sound cool. real nice of you to pollute a video like this with your bs, give yourself a pat on the back.

[musiccity360]

What a guy, what a beautiful idea, what great work you are doing! :)

[yeehah82]

Awesome work! $18,000 in 7 days FTW! Precious pictures of Adam with the little theater kids! :D

[coconutghosts1]

Now this is on ONTD main.

[2009Marjorie]

I love your vids. Thanks for posting. This would help make people aware of the advocacy campaign. Thanks too for Adam for showing us the way. :-)

[RubyHeartsSam]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, GREAT JOB BB <3

[stoneroses23]

Hey, USAToday posted this video on their site.

[SaphireN19]

Aw, great video :)

There's a photo that's too cute to not be added - the one of him in a black vest with his arm around a young blonde girl, think it's from his Wicked days, it's so gorgeous.

Keep this up guys. There are 5000+ members in the comm, imagine if every member gave even just $1.

[ForeverMyTomiBear]

THIS VID AMAZING

<3

[8MSLady8]

Powerful, & moving message. This says it all! Adam should feel so proud, of his inspiration, to help where it counts. Well, I am so proud of him, and this this very worthy foundation. This money will go, and help classrooms, NOW! Our children are our future. What better investment?

[cherylxoxo]

I KEEP WATCHING IT OMG

[smartie145]

YES! <333

[tokoshie]

This is incredible<3 Wonderful job on the video! Gave me chills.

The look in Adam's eyes at 1:16 <3

[pmcheer1455]

this is so sweet. not only is he amazing, he cares about other people. he is going to be the biggest thing in entertainment for many years to come

[TheNovicePianist]

LOL I love the note in the middle of the video!

[wagacca]

AMAZING, BB!

[MusicFanaticNY]

This is so cool. Awesome video!!

And i love Adam. He is a wonderful person.

[setthespark]

You did such a great job on this video BB! I can't wait to get paid so that I can donate.

[Giane855]

Such a wonderful video.

I just cried.

[lilianaloveadam]

Omg, this video is amazing <3

& so is Adam. :)

[mosaic915]

Wonderful video! Thank you so much for putting it together!

[cultureofdestruction]

I paid using my debit card and I am in the UK. You can donate through paypal as well.

[Fanney47]

Oh. You can through debit card? How did you do that?

*is not sure hers would work though* *Is in Iceland*

[cultureofdestruction]

When you select how much you want to donate go to checkout and if you haven't already registered select "first time" all you need to give is an email address and password. The option are then Pay by credit card (but this takes debit cards also) paypal or through you Amazon account (if you use amazon). They take any Visa, Mastercard or AMEX cards for payment. Hope you get to donate!

[Fanney47]

Thanks. I'll check this out tomorrow when I've gotten paid. lol.

I was just gonna ask my cousin if I could use her credit card and pay her back. XD

[Rittodalsigatsa]

Ég hef aldrei vitað til þess að hægt væri að nota íslensk debetkort. Kannski hægt að setja inn tékkaábyrgðarnúmerið? Annars er það bara paypal (en það er kannski sama vandamálið þar?)

*theloa*

[Fanney47]

Hi. XD

Já. Vandamál þar. Þess vegna ætlaði ég að spyrja frænku mína sem er með kreditkort. XD

[Glambert579]

amazing video, had me tearing up (:

does anyone know if i can donate from outside the us?

[cheapxdate]

thank you!

i *believe* you can through paypal, though i'm not 100% sure

[Glambert579]

ok ill try (: thanks

[ryuuseicha]

Yes, the DonorsChoose site lets you use Paypal. It's how I've been donating. :)

[flamingon]

Amazing video! <3

[Zeny2222]

Nice job and love the shots of Adam and the kids...so precious. The projects this charity funds are all so worhwhile. Will def be supporting them going forward.

[cookieglow]

I love him.

I love you.

I love us.

I love this.

[IIntermission]

Nice video, don't worry, it's not cheesy lol, it works.

Are you the one narrating? If yep, you sound like Alexis Bledel a bit <3

And yes, keep it up people, this is amazing.

[cheapxdate]

:) thank you lol. i know i tend to be dramatic lol

[lovereignnn]

i agree it's a little bit cheesy but good job anyway :P

btw, since other people are now donating under our name, does that mean they'll also be participating in the chat and stuff (can't remember what else there was) if we win the challenge? hmm.

[cheapxdate]

i was definitely playing it up a bit lol...

& no, you must be a *member* of the fan group in order to participate.

[lovereignnn]

hahaha srsly though, beautiful vid. cheese does wonders.

how would they even know who's part of the comm and who's not lol?

[coconutghosts1]

The message is awesome and the vid's gorgeous but the music throws you off - it's really cheesy! : |

Anyway, amazing stufff lol. I donated to the autistic kids project. Would be cool if Adam continued to use his status to promote more charities, maybe global ones in future. I have a feeling he'd have gotten stick had he started off backing 'controversial' causes like poverty and slavery but hopefully he can do so one day when it won't be seen as cheesy or insincere.

Keep it up guys.

[LZeppelin74]

Honestly, I mock cheese but I don't think this is cheesy. The music goes with the cause. Awesome video ;)

[cheapxdate]

i can be a bit dramatic. also, i needed a song with no words lol.

I doubt he could have imagined the response he'd get when issuing the charity challenge. maybe now that he sees how much power he has, he'll feel comfortable supporting other projects as well :]

[cultureofdestruction]

Well done this really gets the message home! Can I take this chance to appeal to all fan groups to consider the "Music on the Inside Out" project. They only have 4 days to go and still need over $4.5K to complete the project. Can we all work together on this one it would be a shame for it to go unfunded. Love to everyone who donates lets show we can work together for the kids!!

[bombalurina]

Beautiful video! I'll definitely be passing this along via twitter, Facebook, etc. <3

[majaha61]

I have to admit, i have a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. It is a great cause and I am glad Adam directed us here. I never knew a charity like this existed. Much better than sending kids door to door for fundraising! I will donate under this group!

[polluxacastorella]

Whoa! BB, you've done an amazing job with this video. It's so beautiful and touching, I can't even... SHAKING & CRYING.

I'm so going to throw this video everywhere. I hope it will at least touch people's heart as much as it did mine.

~scratchbook~

[DhaNLuc]

wow...very inspiring...beautiful!Hope Adam sees this..

[sgjools]

I despise your shitty community with all of its hate towards the other Adam fan groups but damn you guys have done a fantastic job!

I was going to donate in the general section, but I think I'll throw it your way because of the amazing effort you have put into this challenge.

[cheapxdate]

Honestly, this is a *huge* compliment. I am ecstatic that I could at very least show you our efforts in this challenge. Thank you very, very much.

[pingusworld]

We don't hate every other fan group. Only the embarassing batshit fans who give his fans a bad name, make Adam cringe, cause the other guys to tease him about his fanbase; tag & number themselves like scary clones; insist Adam can still be "turned/fixed/helped"(!!); dress & act like tacky glittery retards even though they're older than my mom; hammer down the other contestants to build "the 2nd coming of Elvis/Freddie" up; STEAL our hilarious macros/tags/quotes and use them for themesleves ETC.

[thesevenlines]

I agree with most of this except for the last reason. It's not that they 'steal' our stuff (anything you put on the internet is fair game) but that they bad-mouth us and spread lies of what we're about even as they re-post and continue to enjoy the hilarity we bring to the AI online fandom.

[trishdish2001]

Ok, who is stealing whose stuff? Or bad mouthing? I would hate to be part of a group that would do that.

[trishdish2001]

Could you tell me what group this is your talkin about? If I happen to be a member of any of such group I would unjoin it. I don't want to be a member of any group that would embarrass Adam or anyone else and would bad mouth anyone.

[evilpixy]

I've been putting off donating, but this video finally kicked in the right direction.

[cheapxdate]

That is a *huge* compliment. TY!

[purplegirll]

wow that is a terrific video and speaks very very well for the cause, good job!!

[cheapxdate]

thank you!

[sylviaaa]

AMAZING <3

[pyrosgf]

I've felt like pure crap all day, running a fever, the whole nine yards. This just made my day. Beautiful!

[Shelby596]

That...was beautiful.  I hope Adam sees it!

[dreadnought87]

What's the music in the background of this? I feel like I recognize it but I can't put my finger on it.

[cheapxdate]

it's called "breathing space" by x-ray dog. they do trailer music and this one is pretty popular, so you may have heard it in a movie promo

[dreadnought87]

thanks!

[wastelands]

OMG CHEAPXDATE I LOVE YOUR WORK

[cheapxdate]

i know her! i can get you her autograph!

[jess93s2]

[downrighteerie]

BRB CRYING

[thesevenlines]

My entire body got goosebumps watching this video.

I'm so proud of everyone. I'm going to link to this everywhere. So many kids have been helped already; I want as many kids as possible to benefit from this genius competition.

[Hadeeth]

Fuck you made me cry BB. <3 I love us.

[zeeransom123]

OMG :')
