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!

    Nile Rodgers@nilerodgers
    I just listened to the mix of “Shady” and Adam is really singing his A$$ off. I think he redid the harmony vocals since I played on it!

    Of course Adam redid the harmonies!
    It’s why we’ve been waiting so long for this album!
    I wouldn’t change a thing about him though. In Love

    LOL!!!! That’s our boy! What else is new?

  3. nkd says:

    little dutchess, I’m sorry that your plans for your fabulous trip have fizzled. I hope that you are somehow able to make it work.

    So Moscow was moved to July 3rd.
    Any word on the Kiev date?

  4. luval says:

    Harmony with whom? Himself? Sam Sparrow?

    nkd Thanks for your empathy/sympathy., glambotgram and luval too .Not absolutely positive about the change in date for Moscow —Notice those question marks-

    Attention Moscow Concert Attendees!!
    A Change in the Date????

    Research on the Russian ticketing site doesn’t show anything yet nor on http://www.Queenonline.com

  6. little dutchess says:

    UPDATE: just looked at the Russian ticketing site and it now reflects July 3 for Queen & Adam: http://t.co/BWALvcEG; http://t.co/E8zDxWpb

  7. turquoisewaters says:

    re dumbing it down: If Nicki Minaj represents what a pop star is these days, I hope Adam will never be a pop star.

  8. luval says:

    Good thought, turquoisewaters. It’s sad with her because she actually has a strong clear nice voice. I can’t imagine tweens liking her. What is her fan base, anyway?

  9. cwm says:

    Re: change in date for Moscow show – it looks like it has changed to July 3 for sure. Here’s are a couple of official statements:

    a press release, translated from Russian: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/guql7v

    a statement from Brian May, translated from Russian: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/guvaqn

    (So sorry to hear about your messed up travel plans, little dutchess!)

  10. cwm says:

    Remember the alternate Trespassing cover that popped up yesterday? Looks like it’s for the Standard version of the album and the close-up straight-on head shot is for the Deluxe version. Check this out:

    Couple more things:

    Here’s a scan of an Adam mention in the UK Metro about the cancelled Sonisphere Festival: http://twitpic.com/999pzx/full

  13. turquoisewaters says:

    luval: I singled her out because I saw her on AI the other day and I made the mistake of checking out one of her videos. Cheap, vulgar, sad portrayal of women. I really don’t know much about her, and I sure hope there is more to her than what she is presenting. But still the thought of preteens/teens growing up watching this concerns me. End of rant.

  14. cwm says:

    Those of us with Sonisphere tickets should expect our email re: the Tuesday presale for the rescheduled London shows on Monday:

    https://twitter.com/#!/Sonisphere/status/190856568760307712

  15. little dutchess says:

    cwm Thanks for that update. I’m not on Twitter and have been wondering when this email will arrive (and will I have my new act(i.e. travel plans)together by Tuesday

  16. cwm says:

    little dutchess – I feel your pain. Like you, my husband and I are trying to make 4 jigsaw puzzle pieces fit together – the London Queen concert, a family trip to Europe, a guided bike tour in the Alps for my husband, and our daughter’s college freshman orientation back here in Oregon. Oy! The good news is that we haven’t booked anything yet so we’re still flexible, but it’s a lot to fit together and the revised concert dates have us wiggling around like crazy to make it all work with the other things that have hard and fast dates.

    Good luck and best wishes for getting your revised travel plans to work!

  17. little dutchess says:

    Thanks, cwm. Same to you too!!!

  18. milwlovesadam says:

    Hey guys, the other day I lamented about how awful Niki Minaj was on the Today show, on a religious holiday no less, in the morning hours with so much booobage and ass, and vulgar dance moves and lyrics. UGH.

    And her album just topped Adele’s.

    I do not get it.

  19. milwlovesadam says:

    On a happier note, I just went to MJ’s ( I know, I can’t help myself ) and listened to the full songs for Glee next week. It’s Saturday Night Fever. It should be a hoot.

    And, because I can’t help myself, while listening to If I can’t Have You, all I could think was, “I’m not in a pool of Abdul.”

    So, I just had to listen to this:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8NTk38j5RY&feature=player_detailpage

  20. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    And her album just topped Adele’s.

    mils, maybe it’s more to do with where Adele’s album is in its “life cycle” than anything to do with Minaj. My thoughts on Minaj are that she’s only unique when she’s rapping; her singing is pretty average to me.

    See you lovelies later – have a high school baseball game to enjoy!

    “Take me out to the ballgame, take me out with the crowd!”

  21. Kradamour says:

    Okay, just for the record, imma say that I really love Nicki Minaj. Girl has balls. Boobage? yup, and she makes no excuses for it, she puts it out there and she’s proud. Nothing slutty, as far as I am concerned. Outrageous lyrics? Yup, and makes no apologies. A female rapper who has cred and respect? Yup, and she earned it.
    I love fierce Nicki.

    I have only seen one television show this year, but it was Nicki Minaj with a little girl on some talk show who loves her to death and has her song DOWN cold and her mom put it on youtube. Nicki was so sweet to her, the little girl was screaming and crying when she met her, and Nicki picked her up and cuddled her and cried with her and told her she loved her back.

    Okay, that’s all. No one has to share my opinion, but wanted to put it out there.
    Now back to our regularly scheduled flailing!
    Smile

  22. luval says:

    Hi Kradamour!

    You’re referring to Sophia Grace & her little sidekick Rosie. That was on the Ellen show. They are a hoot! And I did say Niki has a very nice voice! But I personally hated her Grammy performance. Even Adam was asked about it and he said he didn’t understand. Here’s the girls!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9573kGBtuE

  23. Kradamour says:

    Whoa. Just went and watched the grammy performance…whoa…

    Y’know, I have said for a while that NM is the Black Lady Gaga. This kinda seals that opinion…
    Um…right…uh…well….
    Thinking Thinking Thinking

    NM is so sharp and clever and talented…I’d hate to see her go too Gaga, though.

    Thanks for that vid, Luval! It was just so adorable. Loved the interaction all around. And (to use Adam’s terminology) it was so post-racial. I still smile when I think about it.
    Heart

  24. luval says:

    Something on Access Hollywood tonight about the Little Monsters being mad at something Gaga tweeted. Can’t bring it over but it’s to do with her tweet implying pop stars have to be skinny.

    Have to work this weekend but trying to stay up to see the Fashion Police. Maybe there will be an Adam mention.

  25. Kradamour says:

    Just found this interview with Nicki…had to laugh at the Adam ties! NO she doesn’t want to be the black or any other Gaga! And she loves the F-bomb, it can be used in so many ways, noun, verb, etc. (where else have we heard this lol) And she didn’t come into the game to sing to children…

  26. Kradamour says:

    Okay off to grade papers. (bah)
    Think I’ll crank up the superbass while I do my corrections…Smile
    G’nite peeps!

  27. glambotgram says:

    luval was this the tweet?

    Lady Gaga ‏ @ladygaga

    Just killed back to back spin classes. Eating a salad dreaming of a cheeseburger #PopSingersDontEat #IWasBornThisWay

    here is an article about it

  28. turquoisewaters says:

    kradamour: I think you know NM better than I. I enjoyed watching the interview and learned a bit more where she is coming from. There are parts I like. There are parts I don’t like. And I guess the videos I saw highlighted the parts I don’t like. Happy grading!

  29. JOJOSIE says:

    RainbowGal14 if your out there lurking, Happy Birthday! I know you were weren’t feeling well and lost your energy but hope your feeling better and post again. Anybody watching Idol this year. I really don’t have a favorite this year so watching isn’t as much fun. Well it really hasn’t been much fun since season 8. Seasons 5 and 8 were my favorites. There was this tall, beautiful young man,with these unbelievable vocals that was on season 8. Anyone remember? ROTFL

  30. Kradamour says:

    kradamour: I enjoyed watching the interview and learned a bit more where she is coming from.

    I love that we keep an open mind on this blog! (Or maybe quite a few open minds!)

    Speaking of minds open and closed…I had a conversation with a dear, dear friend today – friends since we were 12 years old – and somehow she pulled out the “gays are cursed in the bible” issue. Huh? What were we even talking about that made you say that? And … where did it come from??? You never used to believe that!!! She joined a new church and seems to have drunk the kool-aid. It made me so sad. This is a smart, educated woman who has traveled extensively, lived in many countries…I was so taken aback that I didn’t know what to say, so I didn’t say anything. I regret that. But I think I need to choose my words carefully, so it is best that I didn’t reply immediately (we were on skype, and that can be tricky, too).
    But I can’t let this pass without saying what I think and feel. I am her oldest friend (and she mine), so perhaps my viewpoint will make a difference. (shakes head) Gotta try.

    Is Adam scheduled near you, or will you be traveling to catch one of his shows?

  32. ultimathule says:

    The nine-year-old and seven-year-old gals dropped in today, asked for my iPod, and played – guess what – BTIKM. Hadn’t heard it in a while and, have to tell you, I’d forgotten how beautiful it actually is. Exquisite, really. Thank you, my darling Olivia.

  33. Miss Chaos says:

    Where is the AI performance in May? I am kinda thinking he isnt going to be on. Since it gave Durbin such a boost, it might really help Adams sales.

  34. nkd says:

    Adam said he was going to be on Idol in May. People are thinking the 17th, but it hasn’t been announced yet.

    That Snoopy and Woodstock vid is precious and so appropriate. In Love
    I’d vote for this for the VH1 Top 20 Countdown — for sure!

  37. nkd says:

    NCOE number 1 on Unistar Top 20 in Belarus!

    Last post tonight for me, unless something good comes up!

    We spent the day with my mother-in-law, figuring out her pile of papers and making sure the bills are paid! Early, or maybe not so early Alzheimer’s. I would love any input from any of you that have dealt with this in your own family. NKD on fansite.
    If I ever get like that just put my earbuds in and turn on Adam! I’ll be happy!

    Sorry for the personal stuff, just trying to figure it all out.
    Just not my usual self.

  40. nkd says:
  41. luval says:

    Glambotgram. Went to bed early last night. Yup, that’s the tweet I was referring to. Seemed innocent to me.

  42. HK fan says:

    Thanks for that link nkd, what a lovely article.
    And sorry to hear about your MIL, sorry I can’t offer any help, don’t know anyone whoe had it.

    That Nicki Minaj/Sophia video was really sweet, but Sophia totally owned Nicki, she didn’t seem to be able to keep up with the words at all. That girl is definitely going to be on the stage when she’s older.

  43. HK fan says:

    I didn’t realise all those radio concerts were so close together, how far away from each other are they? Hows he going to fit Idol in on May 17th (supposedly)?

  44. luval says:

    HK fan… That Idol show should work out. His cluster of shows starts on the 19th so he’ll have time to fly from LA to the east coast.

  45. dcglam says:

    Looking at the schedule above that nkd posted, it seems that fitting an AI performance in on May 17 is going to be a mighty tight squeeze. He is scheduled to be in Chicago on May 18. Although I’m sure it is do-able for Adam, maybe this is why we haven’t heard anything definite, yet. Has anyone thought about the possibility of May 10 for an AI appearance, a few days prior to his album release? Seemingly, that day would be better schedule-wise. May 17 would probably be better for an album boost, though.

  46. glambotgram says:

    HKFan the flight from LA to Chicago is only 4 hours, that is easily doable, and Chicago to Maine a little over 2 hours, the rest are probably quicker to go by Limo than to fly.

    dcglam love the new avi.

  47. loveroftalent says:

    I love the new single. I’m really hoping that this is song that establishes him on pop radio.

    This is my hope too…I really think this single will do it…The song is great and Adam’s vocals are amazing as ususal….My fingers and toes are crossed…

  48. asifclueless says:

    Good morning All.
    nkd … sorry about your mother-in-law situation.

    Thank you for the Chicago Gay Pride article. It’s very touching.
    dcglam … love, love, love your new avi. Please post more often so we all can see cool Adam.
    We still have half a month to go. eywflyer can change the photo of the month to the cover art of NCOE. It’s stunning with cool glasses. Thanks.
    HK fan … Are you still going to see Queen and Adam?
    How are your kids doing? Did they win anything at the football matches?

  49. nkd says:

    Thank you all for your sweet words.

    asif, did you see the macro that I made for you as requested a few pages back?
