I agree that this is not my favorite Adam song because it is too electronic, but wow what burning HOT lyrics. “It’s about to get rough for you…Take the pain, take the pleasure. I’m the master of both…I’ma hold you down until you’re amazed, Give it to ya ’til you’re screaming my name.”. Woof!!! I have almost become addicted to listening to it. Oh, and by the way, that electronic crack is a whip. Also, I have been listening to the snippets from the FYE cd soon to be released, and they are amazing. Listen to those please before you do any more judging of Adam. No other artist today could sing in so many different styles and with such an amazing vocal range. Soaked by Muse lets you hear the pure beauty of his voice with just a piano to accompany him. I cannot wait to get my cd, and I know his first live tour will be spectacular.

’screwyoumark’, Have you read Manolith? Is this where you come to get your news? This is an online magazine meant to entertain us.

I’m not a fan of American Idol but am always open to new music. That being said, Mark’s analysis of this song is on the money. This track is incredibly uninspired and does nothing to help the corporate image American Idol seems to be trying to shy away from.

Gonna have to agree with Mark on this one.

While this guy’s talent isn’t being refuted or contested, the song is. It’s a sub par song crushed through the studio machine, and I think people should stop thinking a song is catchy just because the 50mhz frequency is cranked up.

Anybody who disagrees should go listen to a Michael Jackson, Madonna, or Depeche Mode single, then come back to this.

Hell, listen to Justin Timberlake or any reworked singles by Timbaland. Their stuff isn’t necessarily earth shattering and arguably formulaic, but at least the songs go somewhere and make you wanna move.

This is the perfect example of a song that starts playing while youre on the dance floor and you think “Oh its this song, well Im gonna go get a drink”.

@Anna–I’m sure you can discern professional journalism and ghetto girl “boy” style writing. Or maybe not.

I think Adam Lambert is very talented, but I think this single is awful a la britney spears. I cannot believe that ’screwyoumark’ said you lack journalism skills for doing exactly what most journalists lack…. which is having the cajones to say what you want without worrying about an f-ing paycheck or following the masses. This is the reason I read this site…. it’s not fake and pretentious. You say what you want and that is that.

I come to this conversation unbiased – I am not a Lambert fan nor a critic, I did not watch him on American Idol, and I’m a gay man. There you have it. Now, on the subject of the song: it’s a perfect example of the vapid, uninspired, uninspiring musical offerings of 90 percent of the artists out there. It’s a throw away track, and if it’s the first or second single, you can bet the album’s gonna suck. Rabid fangirls, you will realize your error in about three years.

Mark. Are all Marks jerkistic pigs? Oink. Oink. You need to know more about pushing buttons to be a talented blogger/ reporter/ journalist right? Be honest with your self. Here’s the first clue which gives away the fact that you don’t have enough brains to pull it off. You actually think I’m going to give you my email and phone number? Well, I’ll give you one of them. 867-5309. My name is Jenny.

And BTW: What makes you think I’m going to listen to the opinion of a chauvinistic pig?

as ‘fangirl rage’ bait, this is really quite poor showing, considering that most adam lambert threads easily get more than 100 posts per article. i pressed a few hot buttons on another thread – cue homosexuality, religion, my music tastes are better than yours, i easily got more than 20 people replying to me in 2 hours. so yeah i think lambert is commercial shit…write to my email address if you think i am wrong, also leave your number if you are hot…i may be setting up my own blog soon so feel free to tell me how ignorant and homophobic i am later on. your rage gives me a hard-on. don’t stop thinking about me. cheers, baby.

I know you enjoy it. Feel free to use my jokes for your next comedy routine. I’ve got more where that came from.

That’s all you need to know? Are you really that lame at coming up with stuff other than beaching your head off?
I don’t look for other people’s penises on videos. I haven’t purchased a microscope to see yours yet, have I? No on the youtube video, there’s no way you can not see Adam’s glambulge unless you’re blind. Oops, time for you to visit your eye doctor. Your eyeglass prescription must be incorrect.

Haha I think its really funny how you’re like “Aaaaaaannnnnd, cue fangirl rage.” and that’s exactly what happened…thank you internet for being predictable… anyway I of course agree with your assesment… but I dont blame Adam for it, once he was on American Idol he set himself up for failure and over processed reused and uninteresting mediocrity.

And I might be wrong about the Pyschadelic Furs. I can’t remember what music Jaime Gumb was dancing around to. A truly trivial question.

I still like your blog, however.

You’ve no testicles because you’re a liberal. It’s a scientific, metaphysical certitude. Hence, you attempt to compensate thru a pathetic blog that has the word ‘man’ in it, which you clearly are not, and is also a play on the word ‘monolith’, meant to conjur up large phallic images in the readers mind. Since we’ve established your utter lack of defining male characteristics, your attempt to identify yourself with large phallic images is even more pitiful. Since you are not a man, you have to like music such as this Lambert you go on about. It’s ok. Put on your suit of human female flesh, tuck in whatever the Lord gave you to urinate with, and dance around your apartment to the Pyschadelic Furs whilst the moths you raise flutter about.

You look for people’s penises in YouTube videos. That’s really all I need to know. Also, less about me, more about the single’s poor quality.

You are right – I am sad!!! Oh Adam!!! Crying in my martini…

I actually like the song a lot, but don’t despair if you think it’s too generic. I think he had to come out with something really radio friendly the first time around. There are more interesting sounding songs on his album that’s coming out on Nov. 23. Adam said he wants to do a mix of different types of songs on his album so I’m sure there will be something for everyone.

No, Mark, he didn’t have sex with me. However, you don’t need a microscope to see what he has. Just get on youtube and look up Adam Lambert-bowie melody philly and take a look.

Hahaha… I have to say I agree with Mark on this one. This song sucks; it doesn’t deviate at all from the single beat path its taken, there is no “interesting hook” at all- really, it’s just another peice of generic pop-y crap American Idol’s been pressured to turn out. I do like Adam Lambert… just not this song. ^_^

He had sex with you? DEEEEEETAAAILS.

Susan Boyle has fans as well and she sings well. However, she isn’t a sensation like Adam is. Mark, me thinks you just jealous because your meat spear isn’t as large as Adam’s.
