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!

    Welcome Josephine! Feel free to gush about our bb anytime! Yep, our family and friends (most of them) think we’re nuts. It’s a definite probability that we are anyway. And loving every second of this fandom and this site.

    Thanks so much Ceddies! I really couldn’t find the donation site. Gonna go there now. Grin Hmmm. Maybe I’d better check my paypal balance first. Big Smile

    Hey, been away for a couple of days.

    I have a great way to lose eight pounds in 36 hours.

    Get a horrible case of the flu.

    Feeling much better now, but, yikes.

    Anyway, hello to all former lurkers. I’ll clear out more space in the corner.

    Glad to hear that Rainbow is OK. Wishes for her partner to feel better soon.

    Missed Adam on Fox, but glad for the vid. Hoping he’ll show up on the Insider on Monday. I know he got bumped for Dick Clark’s tributes.

    RE: The snippets. I drank the Kool Aid. I listen a lot. Can’t help myself. I have no self control.

    Glad to see that the donations are helping eywflyer. This site is so wonderful. Easy to use and friendly.

    One thing I do wonder about is whether some of Adam’s regular’s from MJ’s still don’t know about us? Wonder about Smeggs, Adamisgodxxxx, and others.

    And, I am soooo glad that mlg will be back. She is absolutely fantastic.

  4. luval says:

    mils…smeggs, adamisgodxxx both know about this site. Both posted quite a while ago.

    About Stubhub, I posted these thoughts during GN, I have mixed feelings. Part of me says that they are vultures, scalpers, money-grubbing, etc.

    But, part of me says Thanks. I used Stubhub for three of my shows, and got excellent seats. I paid a relatively high cost for 2 of them ( Hawaii ), but less than 75 bucks for Peoria, and I was in the front row, center.

    Now, front row center for any other show would be much more than $75. But, Adam priced his shows very reasonably. Even the Hawaii shows were low cost. But, as usual, so many of the best seats were only available on Stubhub. If it weren’t for Stubhub, I couldn’t have gone to Hawaii. And, my thinking on it was that I wasn’t going to Hawaii and have nosebleed seats.

    However, the day of the show, prices went down. Way down.

    So, mixed thoughts here.

  6. milwlovesadam says:

    Thanks luval.

    Okay, off to disinfect my house.

    Yuck.

  7. dcglam says:

    Welcome gammaglam, josephine, and all our other new friends! When it comes to stanning Adam, the more the merrier I always say….. Wink Smile

  8. dcglam says:

    I have to agree with you, Kradamour, that the prices on Stubhub are ridiculous. The sad part is that they know they can charge (and receive) those prices. That is what keeps them in business. As long as what they are doing is legal and profitable, it will keep happening. Sadz, but true.

    I am not worried about the seemingly low ticket sales for the WB show:

    1. It is still early with a month to go.
    2. Is Adam actually headlining this show? I know he is listed with two other performers, so each may be receiving one third of the billing. Thoughts?
    3. There is competition going on right now with the Queen gigs and other radio promos.
    4. It seems that a number of peeps bought group tickets with each member of the group securing a set. I know this happened right here on our playground. They are now putting the extras up for sale.
    5. Many peeps are saving their $ and time for the real deal (The Trespassing Tour). This WB show seems to be pretty small potatoes in comparison.

    These are JMHO. I have no fear that the Trespassing Tour will do well!

  9. glitterpatti says:

    Has anyone heard more information about a third Queen/Adam concert in London?

  10. dcglam says:

    Texas, I hope this radio station is set for you to listen….

    Adam’s Never Close Our Eyes makes its debut on the American Idol airplay chart this week at No. 87. Three stations have picked up Adam’s single early: Alice@97.3 in San Francisco; 98.5 KRZ in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; and Mix 102.9 in Dallas.

    http://content.usatoday.com/communities/idolchatter/post/2012/04/kelly-clarksons-mr-know-it-all-hits-the-country-top-40/1#.T5XOX3huHHg

  11. riskylady says:

    Well, have to say if I were going to a radio gig, it would be the Wilkes-Barre one. Didn’t the radio people tweet that Adam’s set would be 45 minutes, and he is headlining with just two other “guests” – sounds good to me.
    Maybe it will sell out as soon as the album gets some play at the other concerts.

  12. riskylady says:

    glitterpatti, no recent news about the 3rd London concert.
    I think it’s getting more and more difficult to find a venue – the Hammersmith itself may not even be available. So much going on there – Wimbledon, Queen’s Jubilee (all year events), Olympics and all the special events and concerts they are having starting back in February – art exhibits, theater, concerts up and down the Thames every night. Plus, there are still tickets for 11th and 12th on secondary sites, and even some of us may have an extra or two.

  13. Northern Spirit says:

    Whoa, those are hefty prices on StubHub, Kradamour! In a way, I have this hate-love (mostly hate) feeling towards scalpers and these reseller sites, much like mils does. It just isn’t right these people make a business out of snapping up (how they do this, I don’t know) good seats and selling them at outrageous prices. But because they do go in and deplete the resources, I’m left with nothing good to buy and am glad I have this other option. But I wouldn’t pay that price for Adam. I couldn’t. Mind you, I’m flying to England and staying 13 days, so I guess money’s no issue there LOL…but it’s Queen + ADAM! I can’t miss this. Plus a trip thrown in. Life is good.

    Welcome gammaglam, josephine. Wow, lots of new folks crossing that threshold out of lurkdom this week. Great stuff. It took me all of 1 day to shed my shyness back in 2009 and interact with other Adam folks. Back then, it was on the Women on the Web, site where AQD, Xena and Juneau got their start. I’ll never forget those early days.

  14. glambotgram says:

    I agree riskylady that is why I picked this one out of all the other ones. Only 3 performers and he is the featured artist.

    From Kirby Center write up

    98.5 KRZ presents ADAM LAMBERT w/ special guests Neon Hitch and The Cab

    Thank you cher I will try to stay on my feet.

    I have never sold tickets on a site before, I am going to give it a few days to see if anyone here wants them or knows of someone that does.

    About the prices on stubhub, some people know our boy is worth any price. lol

    Welcome josephine

  15. dcglam says:

    Didn’t the radio people tweet that Adam’s set would be 45 minutes, and he is headlining with just two other “guests” – sounds good to me.

    Sounds good to me, too, riskylady. I hadn’t heard the headlining part, so thanks for sharing! Smile

  16. HK fan says:

    Welcome tp all the new posters. its so much more fun joining in and getting to know everyone Smile

    re tickets, is that 222 left general unsold, or 222 on stubhub???
    We had the same problem here with Gaga tickets, her show sold out within 40 mins, so they added a 2nd, then a 3rd, then a 4th (its very unusual for shows to sell out in HK), within hours tickets were up on the web for upto $8,000, now I would have loved to have seen Gaga, but no way will I pay those prices.Tickets were limited to 8 per person, but the scalpers pay Filipinos to stand in the queue,(overnight if necessary), and pay cash for their tickets to get them quickly.

  17. riskylady says:

    Mils, I sent you a message on the fansite.

  18. dcglam says:

    mils….
    I am happy you are feeling much better now. Take care of yourself, girl!

  19. Oksana2000 says:

    I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for Adam to be on Insider tonite. Seems that he was bumped AGAIN, even tho TV Guide shows him to be on.
    You know, there are more important things to show like Selena Gomez lookalike in Biebs video.

  20. Northern Spirit says:

    Congrats glambotgram for getting a M & G! You’ll never forget this experience.

    I don’t think I told you all that I had a M&G with Adam at the Russian Lady in Hartford in March. My friend Ellen’s husband was a co-sponsor of the event that night and gave her 10 tickets to do what she wanted with. I was one of the lucky chosen, along with Xena, AQD, Juneau and others who you wouldn’t know. (Our friendship on the web goes back to 2009. ) What a rush that day was. I drove down with Xena on Monday, the M&G and performance was on Tuesday and we drove back on Wednesday. We were given front row standing for the performance and we took the tail end of the line that went in to meet Adam afterwards.

    This M&G experience takes some practice. I definitely want to do this again, with the hopes of doing it right this time. For those of you going in a month’s time, here are a couple of things to keep in mind:

    • plan what you want to say to Adam in advance because they have you moving so quickly (like cattle) and put pressure on you to keep your interaction short, that you’ll be flustered and won’t remember what you wanted to say to Adam

    • They likely won’t let you bring something in to have Adam sign (but you can try anyway) because it slows down the M&G, but if you have something you want to give to Adam, make sure you tell them that and that it’s not for signing. They may even have you put your item in a pile with the promise that they’ll give it to Adam (and they do). If you want to make sure you give him your gift personally, make it small so it can escape notice by the security or people managing the event.

    • Keep calm and ignore what the officials are saying about hurrying up. Just do your thing, maintain your composure and take your time with Adam Smile

    • They may tell you that you’ll have to go in to meet Adam in twos—therefore you get a photo with Adam with another person in it. Happened to me because I followed the rules, and did what they told me to. But when I went and had a look at the M&G photos afterwards, there were many people that were alone with Adam in their photos. How did that happen?!? Just stand your ground and hang back….somehow meet Adam alone if you can.

    The guys (goons), actually they were bouncers, corralling us into the photo-taking area to meet Adam were unnecessarily rude and overbearing. They could have used a course in emotional intelligence. Geez.

    Needless to say, I need another go at this. But Adam was so nice. I couldn’t help but have this huge smile on my face. He thanked me for coming and I shook his hand, and at least I didn’t forget about one thing, the thing I wanted most…..A HUG. So after our photo shoot, I asked if I could get a hug, and he said “for sure!” Doesn’t take much to make me happy Smile

  21. dcglam says:

    By the way, congratulations on that M & G, glambotgram! Northern Spirit seems to have some good pointers. I am guilty of letting the officials hurry me along before I was good and ready.
    Oh well, next time I will know. Wink

  22. glambotgram says:

    Northern Spirit Thank you for the congrats and for the M&G tutorial. I really need it. I have been thinking about this and can’t decide what I want to say.
    Do I want to tell him about when I first discovered him? or Fangirl over Trespassing? or what he has meant to me? I just don’t know.

    ETA Thanks DCGlam

  23. luval says:

    Glambotgram … I just introduced myself and told him where I was from (as I hugged and sniffed him Smile ). This was in Paris so a bit different… We were allowed to have something signed and I think he was happy I spoke English and came from so far!

    But whatever you do you must look into those eyes! You will never ever forget this. He has always said he looks at a person’s eyes. He’s one of those people that for a split second he makes you feel like you’re the only person on earth. Only one other person did this to me…bill Clinton lol!

    Oh, Ron does this too (for future reference in case you ever meet him).

  24. milwlovesadam says:

    Nothern Spirit, ITA with your pointers. My first M&G was too fast because I had M&G “fail”. I was flustered and nearly speechless. I walked away way too quickly, and later realized that I could have stayed longer. Oh well, he signed some stuff for me, touched my chest while admiring my necklace ( be still my beating heart ), and admired mlg’s posters. I felt it was a “fail” because I really didn’t get eye contact.

    My second one, I thought and planned what I wanted to say, had my hands on his tats, talked about the tats, he signed no less than 6 things for me, looked in his eyes, hugged, gah!! M&G = WIN!!

  25. milwlovesadam says:

    Riskylady, you have fanmail.

  26. Ellessay says:

    I haven’t seen anything about this here. It’s not on the list for May 20th.

  27. milwlovesadam says:

    So, the question remains, just when is honeyboy going to be on Idol? He is booked more and more at these types of shows…

  28. milwlovesadam says:

    dcglam, thanks! Tummy still funny though, and, hahaha, I gained 3 pounds back by drinking a glass of water. Figures…

  29. Northern Spirit says:

    mils, you’re so lucky to have had that second chance. Luval, you’re right, look into his eyes. I meant to look in his eyes, but the strangest thing happened, the room seemed so dark when I walked in and I was so nervous that I did my usual (not look at anyone’s eyes) and managed to say “I’m so pleased to meet you”, totally forgetting what I had planned to say…”I’ve come all the way from Canada, and I’ve been a fan for so long, and I’ll see you in London (that should get his attention)…” Never happened. I’m just glad I had the presence of mind to ask for a hug before I walked away.

    I say the room was dark when I walked in, but Xena says it glowed brightly… very strange. Two very different perceptions.

  30. mieps says:

    Ha, Northern Spirit, that sounds like me. I can’t remember saying anything, and I also can’t remember looking into his eyes. I remember looking at him while he was looking at something I gave him. I look happy in the picture though, so all’s good Wink

  32. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Texas, I hope this radio station is set for you to listen….

    dcglam, this is one of my favorite stations (will be my MOST favorite if they start playing NCOE, lol), so I’m all ears!

  33. nkd says:

    Welcome josephine! It is great to see some new peeps coming in!

    mils, feel better, then get over here and we’ll listen to snippets!

  34. luval says:

    Ok, so I tweeted two & e-mailed one of my local radio stations to have them play NCOE. This is just sickening that we have to beg and I can feel the angst Adam may have from that tweet. Someway, somehow this song has to be played!

  35. HK fan says:

    So if Adam is tweeting to request NCOE, does that mean its gone to radio. I haven’t seen anywhere, not even MJ’s, who usually has all that info, that its gone for adds, or an adds date coming up. although it did get 5 adds this week, which I thought was pretty good, considering I didn’t think it officially had an add date yet.

    Mils, last I heard, he was rumoured to be on top 5 week, may3rd?
    Shame its not this week, as all his friends are on, Bria and Roger, and Katy Perry… But I want him to sing his own song, not queens.

  36. dcglam says:

    But I want him to sing his own song, not queens.

    Ditto to this!
    Whenever Adam makes his Idol appearance, I want the focus to be on Trespassing, not on Queen.

  37. cwm says:

    I think Adam’s tweet is a signal that NCOE has been serviced to radio and we should start requesting, even if the adds dates aren’t this week. I’m guessing adds dates will be in the next week or two?

    I remember with BTIKM, he tweeted us about starting to request it before the adds date as well. Maybe they want songs to have some momentum from requests before the adds dates so that radio stations will be more likely to consider adding them.

  38. cwm says:
  39. cwm says:

    gammaglam and josephine – welcome! So glad you have come out of lurkdom to join us!

  41. nkd says:

    Well said

    LiLi What (@eyesLiLieyes)
    Adam has never been clearer – request the song! He is on the brink of two futures – 1) Damn! that dude Adam Lambert has an amazing voice and his music is siiick – wonder why I never hear of him? OR 2) Damn! Adam Lambert was on American Idol? Bwaahahaha – who knew? He’s a freaking superstar now!

    Not gonna cry or whine – but to my mind, no excuse now to not request the fuck out of his music. If the station wasn’t gonna play it anyway, oh well, you’ve lost nothing. If they weren’t certain of how much he is loved, you’ll be letting them know. He has worked his ass off for this, can we do less? Don’t assume other fans are requesting, do it yourself even if you don’t normally. We be all in, bitches. This second album, second single’s success could very well ensure years of future music. And isn’t that what we want?

  42. aely says:

    New here also… but am happy to say they played ncyoe twice in Dallas today. Mix 102.9. Yeah!

  43. nkd says:

    Hi aely! It’s good to have you here! Are you in the Dallas area? I’m in the Houston area.

    Adam interview on the radio tomorrow at 7:35 ET.

    Here’s #KTU ‘s Link to here @adamlambert 2m morning at 7:35am http://www.ktu.com/main.html @PaulCubbyBryant will be playing #NCOE YAY!!!

  44. ultimathule says:

    Any suggestions as to what stations to call in the Greater Washington, D.C. area?

  45. Ceddies says:

    When is Adam to be on Jimmy Kimmel? I checked tonight’s schedule and tomorrow night’s schedule, he is not listed.

    Remember the band that he tweeted about “Vintage Trouble” who were friends of Karmit? I think they’re to be on Kimmel tomorrow night. I liked them and am planning to watch.

    Mils, got my fanmail. Thank you!

  47. nkd says:

    ultimathule…check this site for DC area stations. Stick to the HotAC and Top40 stations, and request at the stations you are familiar with. How about the station that sponsored the promo event you attended?!!
    http://www.ontheradio.net/metro/washington_dc.aspx

    Ceddies…Adam is on Kimmel on Thursday.
    Thanks for the info on Vintage Trouble. I like them too.

    Nkd I do live in Dallas. Thanks for the greeting!

  50. riskylady says:

    Going to request NCOE here, even though Miami is a wasteland of rap & crap.

    But I have to say: It is annoying that, for example, some Canadian Idol girl who has no fanbase down here to call and beg for her, gets tons of ADDS (Carly whatever) and gets played and heard; same with some others, they just get added mysteriously. Why oh why do Adam’s fans have to beg?
    And, how is it that his songs get good radio play outside the US? They get heard, and they get liked. (Except in the UK, up to now.) Question Pissed Off Curse
