Ох, Адам, сколько же нервов тебе еще попортят
С продажами фейка не получилось, будем выдавливать деньги из самого Ламберта.
И ведь, паразиты, второй раз выпускают эти ранние песни перед выпуском настоящего альбома - это еще кто кому промоушен портит.

he singer is now facing a lawsuit that alleges that he's still under a Music Services Agreement and a Co-publishing Agreement from a company he worked with prior to hitting it big on "Idol," and that he has violated the company's rights in his mega-selling post-Idol career.
The claims come from Colwel Platinum Entertainment, which has been marketing a new Lambert album entitled "Beg For Mercy."
The appearance of the new album has generated such discussion among Lambert fans that on October 6, Lambert felt the need to tweet: "'Beg For Mercy' project is same as 'Take One'. some songs I worked on 5 yrs ago and never finished. This release comes as a surprise to me…"
Lambert's reps sent takedown notices to Amazon.com, which had the album up for sale, and on October 14, the album was removed for sale.
Now Colwel Platinum is striking back in a lawsuit filed in California federal court on Tuesday.
The complaint sets up the allegations by introducing Lambert as a relatively unknown artist who hit it big in 2009 when he finished as runner-up on the Fox competition show.
Lambert auditioned for the show in 2008. According to the complaint:
"Upon further information and belief, the rules governing appearances on and participation in American Idol when Lambert was a contestant provided, among other things, that contestants were ineligible if 'as of the date of [the] audition, [they had]...a music recording contract...or any other contractual arrangement that would prohibit [them] from entering into a...recording contract..." A violation of this provision was grounds for disqualification."
Lambert accepted these rules, but according to Colwel, Lambert had an operating agreement with one of its divisions, Welsford Music Productions.
According to the lawsuit, between April 2007 and September 2008, Lambert performed compositions that he had written, alone and with others, for Welsford.
On February 12, 2008, a few months before he attended auditions for Idol, Lambert is said to have executed a Music Services Agreement with Welsford. Around the same time, Lambert is alleged to have entered into a Co-Publishing Agreement with Wilshire Publishing Limited.
As a condition of these agreements, Lambert allegedly agreed to record music and "without limitation...[render] all other services reasonably required."
Welsford says Lambert got paid for his work, agreed that the material would be "works made for hire," and that Welsford would have the right to use his name, nickname and biography in connection with advertising and promoting the recordings.
The company says it spent more than $200,000 to produce the recordings and advanced money to Lambert so he could make his living expenses at the time.
Lambert is said to have recorded 13 songs, including one that was ironically titled "MP3's Killed the Record Companies." Lambert allegedly uploaded four of those 13 songs to his MySpace page without authorization of the publishing company.
In July 2011, several years after the original recording session and when Lambert had suddenly become famous, Welsford says it began the final stages of preparing to release the album. Now, having put the album out only to see it taken down, Colwel Platinum is suing Lambert for making a false claim under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act:
"Upon information and belief, Lambert, through his authorized agent and representative, knowingly materially misrepresented to Amazon.com in the 'takedown notice' that Amazon's promotion and sale of the Album infringe Lambert's rights."
The plaintiff also is seeking declaratory relief that it owns a 50% publishing share of the recordings, that it has an unconditional right to promote and sell the recordings, that neither the Music Services Agreement nor the Co-Publishing Agreement was validly rescinded, and that these agreements remain in effect.
Colwel is represented by Joseph Golden.
Lambert and his reps did not respond to requests for comment. A rep for Idol said "no comment."Ладно, надеюсь, этот эпизод пройдет с наименьшими потерями и лучше буду ждать с кем же он все-таки споет на EMA. были версии, что с Queen, теперь вот пошли гипотезы, что с Боуи. Главное, чтобы не с Бибером.

07.11.2011 в 06:54Вот тут можно почитать саммари ее твитов. Мол как слава меняет людей и лояльность уже ничего не значит. Она имени, конечно, не называет и к концу уже, когда фанаты начали ее прижимать к стенке, сказала, что "не о нашем величестве речь"(с), а о некоем Болтоне, но как говорится было уже поздно. И твиттер она сразу же после этого удалила.
