Adam has apparently wrapped up his US radio promo tour, at least for the moment, as April begins. Above we see Adam as he spent the last several weeks – hard at work with promo. This is (hopefully) finally the last month – for real – before Adam’s new “Trespassing” album will be released. The album is scheduled to drop on May 15. Will we get a second single ahead of the album release date? Will Adam perform on American Idol sometime in the next several weeks? We’ll know soon – in the meantime enjoy the chat!

    Now I want to find the site to make the talk bubbles.

    BTW I used http://wigflip.com/roflbot/ . Really easy!

  6. Kradamour says:

    Does anyone have a link to a good version of the Bruno thingy? or do we only have the snippet? with all the RL stuff, I am losing track of the important Adam stuff!

    dcglam, your link to the reference library is a hoot…and of course we also need a big chunk of the urban dictionary for reference, too.

    Re the iPad for typing…I have an HP Touchpad, and received an iPad as a gift. The iPad virtual keyboard has no number row! NO comparison, the HP wins hands down. And the operating system is so much more intuitive…and it has a charging dock that you just rest it on, no need to plug and unplug. I love love love it. The HP operating system – webOS – is open source now and the android apps will work on the touchpad shortly, as well as the webOS apps.
    (I just keep the ipad in the parlor to use for a reader, I have magazine apps on it.)

    (I hope this was okay, eywflyer? we do need portable tech to keep up with our boy!)

    I thought the new single was supposed to be released last
    Friday. Kelly O called Trespassing Adams new single. The DJ played the Bruno thingy. I’m confusedy. I just want them to pick the right one!
    Our friend Nele has jumped ship I think, shes all about praising Adam and made one stupid comment in the Kris thread that I saw. Maybe she should come over here. But me thinks our friend Ronnie is now Ronniemacy or something like that cause her,his posts are awful. Anyhow going to watch KISS on DWTS, lololol

  11. Kradamour says:

    Thanks, nekkid. I like that. Seems more radio-friendly than Trespassing, gotta say.

    So…sigh. I’m glad I don’t really have to be the one to choose! Cuckoo seems a little bit gimmicky for Adam, he is too new (to most people) for that IMO. Trespassing could quickly become annoying on the radio if heard too often. And I have already forgotten the fourth option!

    Guess I’m on team GiveUptheSpeculationAndWaitPatiently

    Yawn! Off to bed now. G’nite peeps!
    Sweet Adam dreams!

    nkd, I love your twitter gravatar – your dog is “Trespassing”!!!

  14. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Kradamour, the fourth snippet was Naked Love… I love it too.

    I keep wondering if Trespassing could have the same appeal as Celo’s “F*ck You”. The backup singers really made me think of that song – they really “souled” it up. Smile This choice is really starting to feel like a high stakes round of poker (and no, just because my screen name is TexasWannaHoldEm doesn’t mean I know anything about poker – I’ve never even played!). It just seems like it’s kind of a “do or die” situation, career-wise. I really hope he finds radio success with this release. I know he’ll always be able to make a comfortable living with his talent, but I’d like for him to make a big splash or two (or as many splashes as he wants) in the world of pop. But like they say, if wishes were fishes … (we have another saying in our family, but I’ll leave it at fishes, lol!)

  15. nkd says:

    Your welcome Kradamour!

    Thank you Texas! That’s Bailey in my twitter avatar.

  17. HK fan says:

    OK,so I’m a bad fan..I only got 17/20Frown
    I put Indianapolis as his place of birth, messing up my states and cities, still I’ll give myself an excuse for that one seeing as I’m not American..And put Donnie Darko as the film as I knew thats where Mad World came from, forgot he didn’t sing that on cinema week, and I got the project runway magazine cover wrong…I’ll give myself another pass on that seeing as I’ve never watched the show, only snippets of Adams episode, and I was too busy staring at how gorgeous Adam was to actually listen to anyone talking!

    I’m on team NCOE too, I love it and think its perfect for a single, beautiful words, very uptempo (most bpm of all 4 of the songs apparently), and the Bruno link can only work in his favour.

  18. nkd says:

    I’m listening to my Trespassing playlist and had forgotten to take the Bruno demo off, um, no comparison, but I guess that’s understood on here!

    34 days!

    I got 20/20 on the quiz. I did guess on the Project Runway one, but guessed right.

  19. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    34 days?? They need to get rolling on the next single!

    I agree, Texas. After the only “meh” showing of BTIKM, and all the vaunting and promo of how epic this album is, single #2 can’t get another lukewarm response.
    And as much as a lot of peeps love the Queen thing, I think it adds a tricky piece into the puzzle. I think that there needs to be a radio hit before he sings Freddie Mercury, or risk being known more for Queen’s music than his own: “Adam Lambert? Isn’t he that guy who fronted for Queen for a few concerts?”

    Enough of that! Single #2 gonna burn up the charts! No matter which single it is!
    Smile

  21. mieps says:

    2 wrong! The name, as several others (and no, I didn’t get it wrong after reading the reactions, I did it yesterday…Wink and Darko, although I knew it was from birth year, it somehow didn’t cross my mind that I should give it a better thought!

    I totally get a happy feeling if I hear Trespassing, but I can’t envision how it will do on radio. I love the acoustic NCOE, but I’m not sold on the electronic version. How did I ever become obsessed with a guy who wants to make everything as electronically as possible???

    I blame Adam Wink

  22. Kradamour says:

    It’s Adam’s FAULT, mieps! Smile

  23. Kradamour says:

    I keep wondering if Trespassing could have the same appeal as Celo’s “F*ck You”. The backup singers really made me think of that song – they really “souled” it up.

    Hmmm…but F*ck You has a great tune, it is really upbeat and fun, and fun to sing. Trespassing is really staccato and sort of angry. Kind of a white man’s rap.

    Sigh. I think we just have to see what happens.
    So, RCA, put something out there and let’s see what happens!!!
    Question Confused Question Confused Question
    Yes No Yes No Yes

  24. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Kradamour, I’ve been doing lots of *sighing* as well when it comes to the next single decision. I really hope it’s not Trespassing. I think that if it is, it will either be a big hit or a big flop, there just doesn’t seem to be room for “meh” with it. I still feel like he may hit it big in the European market before he does here, which would take some of the pressure off of how he does here. Irregardless, I still think he’ll move a respectable number of CD’s and have another successful tour – I think his reputation as a live performer is pretty wide-spread.

    Geez, how did I get so caught up in this super-hot, mega-sexy, super-sweet, incredibly personable, unbelievably interesting person? In Love

  25. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    BTW, hope you’re having a nice spring break, Kradamour! Hope your mom’s doing well with her treatment plan – nice to see you here more, you’ve been missed!

  26. Miss Chaos says:

    I like it, White mans rap. Someone named Eminem did really good with rap, lol Ya I always see if I can say the song fast enough, I can think along with it, but if I had to (well what you call) sing it, I dunno, I cant do it. It might be fun for people to try to sing the song. Its still my favorite song, well along with Chokehold, and NL, and Cuckoo. I am sure they are doing there homework on which one to release. Confused

  27. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Have you noticed I haven’t posted my score yet? I missed four!! Loser I missed the state in which he was born (oops, I put Illinois – I know better!), missed the Project Runway question, thought his dad was Jewish, and missed the one that had “Crazy” as an answer option. I think you guys should run me outta here – I don’t deserve to be here!

  28. Kradamour says:

    thanks, Texas! I’ve missed y’all, too.
    Heart
    My mother has surgery scheduled for Monday, so I’ll be MIA for a while next week. So I’m betting that the new single will drop on Tuesday and I’ll miss it!!!

    Speaking of missing…FOUR, Texas? Bad fan! Smile
    I am going to assign homework! much remedial viewing of videos and reading of interviews! dcglam posted the link to the reference library…get to work, cherie!

    Spring break…the time of year when teachers work from sunup to sundown to catch up on personal issues that have been neglected while they take care of the children!
    AND I have started that novel! everyone’s support here was just what I needed to sit down and start to make that happen…be it good, be it bad, it will finally BE!

    Okay off to RL – have a great day, peeps!

  29. sparkle says:

    I took the quiz and got an error message instead of a score!!! Maybe I’ll do it again later – probably got 1 wrong – my Project Runway answer was just a guess. Hope all goes well with your mother’s surgery, Kradamour – I know we’ll all be praying and wishing for her speedy recovery! Got to do taxes today. Has anyone updated Adam’s calendar for this month? I’ll be in LA next weekend, including the Leno Show on the 23rd. It would be soooo fantastic if AFL was on performing his new single, whichever it is!!!

  30. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Haha, Kradamour – I just had the funniest visual in my head: While my three kids are studying for finals in the coming weeks, I’ll join them in my AFL studies! I wonder if they would be amused knowing I flunked Adam Lambert 101 – as much time as they “catch” me stanning the man, I think they’d find it hard to believe!

    sparkle, how exciting that you’re going to LA and seeing the Leno Show! What a nice treat to look forward to while doing taxes. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you’ll get to see Adam perform on the show, and if not Adam, someone else you enjoy *almost* as much! Smile

  31. turquoisewaters says:

    Oh no, I’m so torn: Trespassing: loved it the first time I heard it, full of spunk and character, very close to what I always hoped Adam would do. NCOE: a little safer – with Bruno name bonus – so pretty and seductive.
    What we know for sure is that Adam can pull off both in live performances. Trespassing makes for the more exciting live performance IMHO.
    Gah, I can’t decide. With so much riding on it, I wouldn’t want to be the one making that call. I am stressed out just watching the whole thing unfold. I wish they could just release both in short succession.

    That’s the set list for Idol tonight if anyone is interested. It’s songs from 2012.

    I’m posting this from my phone because my keyboard isn’t working on my laptop. ???? Frown

    Last night I was learning so much, now I feel like a total dunce! Curse of the computers!

  34. sparkle says:

    Taking a break from taxes. Thanks, Texas, for your kind words. And even for stans, that quiz was not easy – some of the questions, like the PR one, focused on things other than Adam, which is nearly impossible for us!
    Here’s my thoughts on the Trespassing/NCOE debate. Could the non-US release be Trespassing and the US release be NCOE? Don’t know if that’s even possible but it would be the best of both worlds. If not, I think NCOE, since Adam will get the chance to perform the h*ll out of it on AI and America will fall in love with it!! I said when I first heard it that I could see him performing it so well on Idol. There is something about it that reminds me of Mad World – maybe the tinge of sadness and drama in the lyrics, if that makes any sense. When is he going to be on Idol?

  35. Kradamour says:

    I wish they could just release both in short succession.

    I wish they could just release the fricking album!!!!!!!!!!
    Maybe there is something even better that the suits haven’t thought of!!! We have been made to think that there are only four radio-worthy options.

    Honestly, I think we have a conflict here: Adam loves each of the songs like his children, which they are, and has no objectivity and can’t hear them through the ears of the public.
    For that matter, neither can we, because we are too invested – and also we know too much about the creation, where he came from, what he wants – and what he can do, and we are dying to see the songs, all of them, live! when most peeps will only hear the studio versions of the music. We are not who he primarily needs to please with this one, if he wants to expand his influence and appeal.

    And the suits just want to be safe and make money.
    We know too much and they know too little.

    As mils would say, “gah!”
    Okay back to work…

    (Sparkle, thank you – I know that the many prayers sent up on my mother’s behalf will make a difference. I have told her about the wonderful peeps on this blog and how we support each other – she was astonished and very touched.)

  36. milwlovesadam says:

    Gah.

    Right back atcha!

    How’s that for good English?

    Kradamour, best wishes to your mother.

    Great choice! It’s a great song, most radio friendly of the four, the Bruno connection is good, and Adam sings the shit out of it. I’m happy!

    I firmly believe that NCOE will pave the way for Trespassing and Cuckoo (and maybe even Naked Love!) later.

    Well, I felt relieve when I saw that! I guess I was subconsciously rooting for NCOE!
    I think it’s a smart choice, let’s hope it pays off.

    I think that choosing NCOE as the next single was a very smart move. Not the boldest out-of-the-box choice, but definitely the smartest choice at this stage of the game. IMHO. It’s all strategy.

    I’m happy with the choice because it’s not just that it’s the most radio-friendly, but it’s also a great song that I think people will really like. Adam/RCA can turn up the boldness meter after he’s more firmly re-established on radio.

  48. cwm says:

    Hahaha turquoisewaters are we sharing the same brain at the moment??
