Don't worry about anything adam you will go far. *crosses fingers* I will stand by you a hundred percent all the way so just so you know!! I heart you adam!!! keep singing with that majestical voice of yours that steals my heart everytime i hear it!! <3

Adam, your true fans are only going to be happy to hear more of you regardless of the quality of the demo or your intentions at the time. It's who you are today that counts and everything up to that made you where you are - good or bad - it built your professionalism, character and talent. If it was a recording of you singing in the shower - we would love it! lol (Have you considered that?) Hang in there and continue to roll with the punches. Welcome to fame - it's not always pretty unfortunately. Can't wait to hear your new stuff and not worrying about the old.

you should be thrilled i mean its time for another mj. you are an awesome artist and its time to share your music with the world you rock and i love you

hi adam YOUR REALY THE BEST! GLAMBERTS PLZ VOTE FOR ADAM LAMBERT ON TEEN CHOICEAWARDS AND KERRANGAWARDS

I WOULD BUY ADAMS MUSIC FROM ANYONE! I WANT ALLLL OF HIS RECORDINGS, HE SINGS TERRIFIC ANYTIME,ANYPLACE, I LOVE HIM! HI ADAM, YOU JUST KEEP
DOING THE THINGS YOU WERE BORN TO DO AND EVERYONE WILL SUPPORT YOU
ALONG THE WAY, AT LEAST I WILL, AND I SEE A FEW THOUSAND OR MILLION OF US WILL. YOU ARE SOOOO HOT! LMAO! DEBORAH IN TULSA OK

I still am unsure..some post state Adam does get money from our purchases while others say don't purchase. I wish we had the real Adam answer I don't want to buy it if he dosn't want us to! ADAM! ???

Nice try HIFI Recordings but nope, not buying your lie. And those who bought the song shouldn't feel bad for loving Adam's music. We all love Adam's voice or we wouldn't be here. HIFI Recordings and Wishire Records are simply trying to take advantage of us, the fans, in order to make a quick buck because they know there's a bit of a lull and a void right now. So shame on them. And no way, HIFI and Wishire aren't getting one thin dime out of me. I don't care what they claim now. Besides, if we want a "nostalgia" album, I'm sure Adam will be more than happy to put one together for us at some point in the future when he has some time. Right now he's too busy going on Tour and working on his new "real" debut album. Sounds a little like HIFI and Wilshire are kinda jealous of that. I guess you can't blame them. They had something good once and ooooops, too bad, you let it go..........

Defending someone, unless it's repeatedly excusing bad behavior, isn't desperate -- it's called loyalty.

"Adam Lambert officially responded this evening to news that Hi Fi Recordings' upcoming disc, On With the Show, will contain eight tracks co-written and recorded by the singer before he achieved fame as American Idol's season 8 runner-up. Lambert's statement, released through a rep for 19 Recordings, is as follows:

"Last Friday I was surprised to find out that songs I recorded back in 2005 were being released. Since then I discovered the entire track listing, revealed online today. I was shocked to learn that songwriting demos of songs that I co-wrote and recorded over the past few years may be released in an album. Like a rough draft that a writer does before finishing a book, I did not intend my work on these demos to be heard by the public. I was unaware that anyone intended to release these recordings until I heard about it in the press, and I'm very disappointed by this entire situation."

From what it seems, he would not want us to buy it. So I won't. IF Adam at any point wants it to be purchased he will advertise it on here and I would purchase it in a nano second. Until I see that...NO WAY will this company get my $$$

So... I don't exactly know how "official statements" come to be, but this one has obviously not put the ke-bosh on the "On With The Show" controversy. Honestly, it doesn't matter one way or the other. Every artist needs to go through some growing pains before they begin to put out their best work. The stuff on "On With The Show" is O.K., but it's Adam's first attempt at an honest-to-goodness recorded album. This should have been released a long time ago, while he was trying to make it in the industry. Not now, when he has the best producers and songwriters in the palm of his hand. I would love to see Adam address this issue in a live interview. That's where he does his best work:-) Come on 19, honesty is Adam's best marketing strategy!

Okay, well I am GLAD to know that you didn't write those songs!

Thanks, Adam for allowing your fans to follow you on Twitter. I, for one, feel more connected if I can know what you are doing and even how you are feeling. Please don't get too busy to drop a line. I can hardly wait until July when I will see you in Dallas.

Cougar Girls have only the greatest respect for Adam, who was prepared to work hard and stay focused on his dream.
The world over, the privileged youths expect things to be handed on a platter. We all know that money cannot buy talent, and moreover, neither dedication nor guts.
My favourite writer and world's best selling author, Stephen King cleaned school bathrooms and toilets on the graveyard shift and often worked two jobs to provide for his family and persue a career as a writer.
He prides himself in his vast collection of rejection letters from publishers, which he got as a child from the start of his 'writing career'. He wrote some really bad horror stories (badly) and graduated into novels.
'Carrie' was written during (and as inspiration of) his time as a toilet-cleaner! The manuscript lay hidden under other work on a junior editor's table, where it stayed after he had published novels. If you want to know how he created 'Carrie' this way, you can read his non-fiction book called 'On Writing'.
By chance someone saw and read it one day - the book became a best seller and was his first work to go to the movie box-office, making obnoxious amounts of money.
I am sure his older works were re-published to cash in and catch the 'Stephen King' wave of dollars.
And so what if I sound like my dearly departed mother, she was right!

I really do hope that Adam recieves all royalties due to him, because although the song 'Want' is not an offical realise, it is a good song, not what you'd expect from Adam but it was pre-idol and he was most probably just finding his own sound at the time (as he said I was a struggling artist and needed the money) & I'm happy to say it isn't a bad one, although I do love Adam's ROCK sound more, because that's how we as fans know him & we love Adam no matter what music or sound he ventures with, so does it really matter??? as long as he gets the royalties owed for the work he's done x

Back on topic, I am beginning to think there really is way too much drama around everyone who is saying don't support this song and the album from HiFi. Adam has a lot of fans who get very excited and protective of him, myself included at times! That's cool. But I don't think Adam really needs or wants everyone defending him at ever turn in his career. It starts to look a little desperate, ya know? Let's all take a deep breath and realize Adam is doing exactly what he wants now and is on track with his new album, his signature sound. Let's support him in a positive way. Bringing him light and positive energy. He is on the rise to stardom and I think in the big picture supporting anything he's done can only help him in the long run. Buying or not buying this song is a personal choice though. Will HiFi Recordings make money from it? Sure, but what can you expect? That's business.19 Recordings/RCA will make money from their Lambert album too. That's just the name of the game. Sure it may not be an ideal situation, but such is life. Most importantly, I will look forward with great anticipation to his 19 Recordings/RCA album at the end of year!! AND I have 2nd row seats to the Idol concert in two weeks! I can't wait! Let's give Adam positive energy everyone, positive energy!!

He is listed as therealGlambert. Yes, this has been confirmed as his official Twitter account.

He just tweeted a few hours ago: "On my way to songwriting session w the brilliant Sam Sparro!!"

Just setting the record straight again. Adam stated at the end of this interview that he does not have a twitter account and that there are a lot of posers out there pretending to be him. Just something to keep in mind and I thought it was relevant considering the whole HIFI lie right now:

I believe Adam did put his heart in recording or co-writing those songs. I don't want any of his songs to be just buried away. Doesn't matter when he recorded it, good songs are timeless. Gotta give HiFi credit for recognizing Adam's talent. It's all those recording studios that might have rejected Adam that I despise. Don't really give a damn about the politics. All those companies are there to make money off Adam and us. That's alright! Adam, I truly love your voice, and I especially love your honesty. Don't lose that beautiful personality of your's.

Just like all of you guys here ...I am confused wether should buy that song or not because in one hand that song is beautiful and I love it but the other hand I don't want to supporting HiFi , so... I don't know ! But if his real album is coming ( this Fall ) definitely I will buy ( anything with his name on it).

People are buying this song. It's Adam. Why would we, his most loyal, devoted fans want something with his name on it to fail in front of the general public!?!?! I have to think that Adam knew what he was doing when he signed his contract with Wilshire records. I don't think he can legally promote this record now that he has a deal with RCA/19 Entertainment, so we are probably not going to hear from him either way on this.

Once again I say, why would WE, the most ardent of his fans want something with his name on it to fail?!? That just cannot be good for him or his future. The general public does not care about this behind the scenes stuff, but they, hopefully, recognize a superstar when they one, and if "Want" is already climbing iTunes, his fans should not be the reason it doesn't make it to the top.

His voice is amazing, as usual, and the lyrics are simple, but ring true. It's also catchy, so no wonder people are buying it.

Peace, vicki in Austin

Here is the link to Heckler's statement where he says that Adam will receive royalties. I am still torn about this, because I do not want Adam to have something out which does not sell. I do not trust Heckler's timing at all, but it could be that "Want" is a demo, and maybe the other songs are not? I don't know. I do imagine RCA/19 told Adam what to say in regards to this issue, and he probably is not at liberty to say "Do or Do Not Buy the Hi-Fi" recordings. I understand Adam is moving in a different direction, but one of the things I like most about him is his versatility. The more I listen to "Want" the better I like it, though it does sound cheaply produced. If I knew for sure that Adam was getting royalties from the sale of the Hi Fi work, I would buy it.

I have not and will not buy the Hifi material unless Adam is getting royalties, so I'd like to see it in print that he is getting royalties because my understanding is that he was already paid in the past for the demos and the other studio work and that he did NOT write the music they are releasing, so what is the real scoop? Clue me in. Have I missed a public statement somewhere?
