listen to it at least once a day..i love you hun!
FYE is a great album. It deserves to be at #3 on the Billboard Chart.
I love the album. What I can't understand is why there are no stations is Seattle playing any of the songs. If anyone up here has heard them, what station is it? Makes me think there's some backlash from the AMAs. That would be wierd for liberal land up here.
Congrats, Adam! Just happy we get to enjoy your talent. Thanks for making my life more colorful. Love every song!
This is a great album and a great song! The first time I heard it was on the AMAs and it was HOT! I am proud of you for making a wonderful piece of music and creating a wonderful performance to go along with it! Because of that performance, you have gained a new fan in me and in my husband. Thank you for being an original.
i instantly fell in love with FYE when i first heard it, and now i love the song even more. it just makes me get up and dance. i LOVE FYE and of course other songs are awesome. -- a huge fan from Korea^^ xoxoxo
I am happy to be one of the many who purchased this cd. Love it Love it Love it... thank you Adam...
I don't know what it is about you and your music, your looks are what America needs right now. You have a great voice. The song "Time for miracles" is my favorite song of the year, you rock. You are sexy and you have a gift, use it wisely and do not get into anymore trouble, I want you to go on with your music just like Madonna, Elvis, and Michael Jackson whom are my favorites.
What can I say that u haven't heard before?...But I'll say this: AMAZING, TALENTED, HANDSOME, SWEET, INTRIGUING, MESMERING, CHARMING, FUNNY, ...and the list goes on and on and on and on...you get the picture...lol....It will be #1 pretty soon....Psychic moment...lol....Lord knows u deserve it!

i loved the alblum. Adam is very talented,very unique. Id love to hear adam do some songs with heavier rock. Keep up the great work. You are the best!
Adam, Congratulations! I love them all! Thanks for Broken Open—Wow!
I cannot CHOOSE a favorite song from this album. I had a local radio DJ ask me---and I was at a loss! They are all good!! It is a RARE occasion that I can listen to an album in its entirety without skipping tracks.....I am very much pleasantly surprised, thankful and excited at the QUALITY of this album!!! Thanks Adam......the proof is in the pudding! The best music wins...........You are now in a VERY small small group of A.I. alums who are true artists: Welcome to the Daughtry, David Cook , K Clarkson and C. Underwood club........true artists who have years of music ahead of them AND have
already captured the hearts and minds of America!
YOUR NUMBER 1 IN MY BOOK!!!!!!!!
Great News! I bought it for a bunch of people for Christmas, really like it. Loved your Ellen performance and loved the outfit!!!
Hey Adam, you should be # 1..... You deserve it.........
Adam you are a Gods gift to the entertainment world, you possess the craftmenship that this day and age needs. As a lady in her mid 40's that is an Alice Cooper fan since my teen years,loveing the theatrics of soul preformances, you have reborn a part of me that has laid dorment for many years. I look forward to watching you grow and entertain the world with your savvy swagger and fasinating sex appeal. Please keep your heart and soul true to who you are, as a mother, it would be a tragedy to see you stray for the wrong choices.
Your voice is amazingly genuine, your cd is so you and awesome, thanks for all your hard work and long hours in creating this masterpiece. You certainly deserve all the fame and fortune thats headed your way!!!!!!
Congratulations, Adam!!! I knew it was just a matter of time before we heard this news!!! I think the world has been waiting for you. You have a truly beautiful soul that comes through not only in your amazing voice but also in your kindness and generosity toward others which I've seen displayed so many times. (Your mom and dad must be incredibly proud of you.) You spread good energy all over the place and your CD is a perfect example of it!!! You have great instincts, and I know we'll see and hear a lot more in the years to come as you continue to entertain us. To me you have a lot of the qualities of another artistic genius named John Lennon. I'm so proud to be a fan, I listen to FYE every day at work, in the car, and at home!!! Seriously, I can't get enough, and the other recent CDs I've bought are still waiting their turn to be heard. Please don't ever stop being the artistic maverick you are!!! Peace and Love always to you.
Wow Adam this is great news to hear about your CD. This is just the beginning of your career. Take a deep breath and take it all in. Stay humble and always remember who you are. You won me over just by your geniune attitude and emotion in your interviews and your music. It comes from your heart and people sense that. Your song "Broken" melts my heart and "Music Again" is so fun and refreshing. That is the balance of life being able to cry and pick yourself right back up and go on. Music is a global communicator. You have touched and inspired so many without even knowing it. You were born to lead with that voice, those eyes, and your heart. Each song is amazing in it's own way. Alot of my friends and family are getting your CD for Christmas..you have our support and love too.
yes yes yes i cant wait for the barbara walters interview.you tell them baby.i love you for who you are.but i wish i had the chance to change your mind.awwww you look so yummmmy on the david letterman show, i wish all men dressed as well as you
It's rare that a whole album is filled with quality songs, all single worthy. Most albums today only have a few good songs and the rest are just space fillers, the reason so many people just buy singles from itunes and not the whole album. FYE is all great songs and I love all of them!! From the rock songs, to the slow songs, to the glam songs, I love them all. I can't pick a favorite. I knew the album would be awesome but I had no idea just how awesome it would be. You did great Adam. Congratulations
Congratulations Adam, I am really enjoying your album..I play it in the car every morning on my way to work, and my husband (who didnt watch AI is quickly becoming a fan. Which says alot, because he typically wants to listen to the sports channel:) Thanks for the joy ride.
Congratulations, Adam! Love every single track on your CD - absolutely beautiful music. Thank you for all the joy you bring. Looking forward to watching you soar on all your future projects!

Congratulations! You are so gifted. You are so articulate, poised, and charming - with an amazing voice. Your CD is the first one I've bought in a long time - you make me want to listen to music again.
I love "Broken Open". The first time I heard it I was "what was that!" and I had to pull over to listen to it two more times. (More music like that please!!!)
Looking forward to following your amazing career for many years to come!

You are so mega-talented and your album is just brilliant! After watching AI last season, I just knew you would skyrocket. And I often wondered why you were never discovered earlier?
I'm proud to say I am a fan of yours, and I'll keep blasting FYE in my car, at home, etc., etc.
I hope you feel very proud of all you have accomplished! You've worked hard and it is paying off in more ways than one! Keep soaring!!! This is just the beginning!
My Best to You and your family over the holidays,

Yaaaaay! Thanks to American Idol for making you visible.
Thanks to that A-list of writers and producers for engineering this masterpiece of an album. With the exception of Soaked and Smile, I literally love every song. The intricacies and textures of the instrumentals is incredible. Just the right amount of edginess and electro elements mixed with rock and pop and, whew! Adam's voice.
Most of all, thanks to you, Adam Lambert. Only the most stylish, blazingly talented, just plain totally incredible singer/performer could've pulled this off. These songs are a million times better than the boooring stuff out there currently.
By the way, you were great on the Ellen show. Two of my favorite people on one show!
Adam, I had your album playing all day at work today so that everybody could hear how great it is! I am playing it all day everyday now. I'm ready for your tour!!!!
Congrats to Adam and 19e/RCA!
For Adam being a virtual unknown talent this is phenomenal feat! And congrats to the Adam fans/Glamberts who pushed this journey along so fabulously!
I am so proud of Adam and all the choices he has made. The AMA performance was genius, he gathered more of the younger generation with such a OTT sexy show. They are more accepting of Adam's showmanship then some of the older fans that live under a rock. So Kudos to you Adam!
I am looking forward to your solo tour where I get the full OTT glam-it-out- show that you want to do! Do NOT tone it down!
Take a moment to take it all in! We knew that with all of your talent you would be high on the list but #3 - not bad at all!!!!!!!! Adam keep being yourself thank you for making me want to listen to music again.
All I want from you is music for the next 30 years or so. Is that too much to ask for?
That is so great #3!
It's really too bad the AMA performance ruined your career
LMAO!
Looks like all your so called wanna be fans were WRONG!
Those people were so mean. RAAAAAAAAAAwwwwwwwwRRRRRR!
Well Adam you are like the energizer bunny.................................you'll keep going and going and going.
Now, about that finger explanation.......................They deserved it! LOL!
Adam,
Congratulations!!!!!!! I'm so proud of you and of how you've taken everything in stride to achieve this level of success in such a short period of time! Your album is amazing! I want the world to know how effing awesome it is! (Guess the 14 copies I'm giving away for C'mas will help a little!)
You are wothy of all the praise you recieve, be it for your amazing vocal ability and creativity, your charming personality, your beauty -- inside and out -- or your generosity. You're a really good man, who can be a really bad boy (lethal heartthrob combination!!) and I love you for being both!
I'll see you at a concert (or two) when you go on tour!!!
All best,
Anne
Your CD is amazing,congratulation and ......you beat the girls!!!
Congrats to Adam and all of the writers of the songs for the #3 Billboard Victory. A place that is very deserving of a great talent. Looking for alot more to come from Adam. The storm has just begun!
This is great but no surprise..FYE is full of top songs that put Adam's stunning talent to great use. Adam has stood by who his is, and it has made all the difference. He's got the whole package and knows how to use it...what more could anyone want from him. Well......maybe another kiss with another hottie like Tommy....I think I'll put that on my Christmas wish list. LOL Still can't get over how hot that was...WOWser. Plus he got to meet Ellen....I am so jealous but happy for him. I just love her...she is awesome and beyond. Adam is on his way to the top, and his true fans are following him all the way there. Those who don't prefer his style and were offended by his AMA performance can always go follow Danny Gokey...I think I just saw a clip of him sitting on the back tailgate of a pickup truck in some local parade somewhere...I think he would love their support. Adam...thanks for staying true to yourself, it made for some bumps but is the right thing to do. As a good friend told me just a few weeks ago, "we don't always fully understand or know the purpose of why we do what we do or why things happen the way they do, but that purpose always has a way of coming clear to us as we travel along our chosen path...."
Congrats!!! As a child of the 80's who had quit listening to most of the music then , I can really say you made me want to listen to Music Again!!! I got my 2 cd's, one regular and one collectors edt., cant stop playing them!!!!! WIll always love and support you my friend!! Best of luck always!!!!
