After a very busy month of July which featured 11 concerts (5 with Queen and 6 solo – including the epic Fantasy Springs event pictured above), August begins with a short period of rest for Adam. However, as he tweeted a couple of days ago, we can expect the third single from Trespassing to be announced sometime early this month. Later in the month, Adam will head to Japan and Australia for album promo and a few concerts as well. We are also anxiously waiting to learn if Adam will be a judge or have some other regular role in the upcoming season of American Idol. In the meantime, enjoy the chat!

    Color makes him look more Nordic – perfectly appropriate considering his lineage.

    I flove the hair! (now that we have seen more of it). I was def not feeling the Billy Idol look that it initially appeared to be…this is so sophisticated!
    I do want to see it without the glasses but wow it really makes him pop! Especially in the crowd in Japan where most hair is dark…hmmm, wonder if that was the idea? If so, the color might not last too long after he returns.

    I agree tho that Adam and Sauli don’t need to look alike…Sauli is so much smaller, he could give the bizarre impression of being a ventriloquist dummy… Frown

    This will be a quick catchup post, i am travelling…and typing on the ipad isn’t easy…

    Happy birthday to my August birthday mates!

    Nekkid, be well! Sending karma and a hug from Nashville…mwah!

    Ceddies, so good to see you getting better!

    Very interesting post about Sauli in Finland…thank you for that!

    And Ron…you remembered the kir royale that remains for us to share!

    (Fwachdr, can’t wait to see you!)

    G’nite, peeps!
    Sweet arctic Wolf dreams!

    Thank you Kradamour. It’s lots of lemon water and honey for me!
    Enjoy your time in Nashville. Kiss

    He looks absolutely spectacular in that silent vid.

  6. LadyNorth says:

    Morning!

    It tried those links to the ustreams and there was a short (recorded?) vid here

    http://countdown.tfm.co.jp/pb10/main.php

    Adam’s face looked so beautiful! And hair matched well with the dark gray jacket – it looked more silver than gray in front (the hair).

  8. LadyNorth says:

    Does anyone has a pic of Ashley’s rainbow-hair? I loved va-jay-jay’s trespassing hair Smile

    Hi nkd, the third night up Frown?

  9. ultimathule says:

    Another thing about him – so glad he’s not all tattooed-up – classy. (Especially dislike neck ones – ugh – even on Sauli.)

    Hi Lady North!
    I tried to sleep for about 4 hours in the morning but didn’t sleep well. This really sucks, I’ve been sick for over a week! It’s getting better though.

  12. LadyNorth says:

    aely, thanks, but I didn’t manage to get that link work…?

    nkd, so sorry to hear about your nasty bug Frown So is it coughing that keeps you awake? Glad it’s getting better, try to rest anyway! Strange summer, so many have been seriously ill. My recipe for avoiding flus – I do winter swimming (you know, dipping myself into the icy hole in a lake in winter). It sounds mad, but it feels very good afterwards and really helps immune system. But not before the water is cold enough, so it’s not helping in summer or in warm climate.

    I’ll be back later, off the grid outdoors activities to be done…

  13. nkd says:

    Yes, coughing is keeping me awake, but on the upside, I’ve caught up on lots of tv on my DVR!
    The closest icy lake to me in the winter is probably near mils, Laugh we rarely reach freezing here. I live in hot, humid Houston, Texas.

    aely, I have no clue what you were trying to post, but it’s not working! Wink

  14. nkd says:

    I really really love watching Adam talk with this new look. He is gorgeous!!!

  15. aely says:

    Try it again. It is a pic of Ashley that Lady North wanted to see…I clicked on it and it works now. Trying to cut and paste on my phone=epic fail…ha

  16. nkd says:
  17. nkd says:

    Thanks aely!

  18. LadyNorth says:

    Thanks aely, cool Ashley Smile

    Pictures of the radio interview at adamholic’s site… The one at the end is the closest one we’ve seen – very cool looks Smile!

    nkd, thanks for the interview, I have to have it for dessert after lunch Smile And I guess in Texas you can only dip yourself into the oil well Wink I hope you are already asleep!

    My garden thanks me for the attention I gave it today… Poor garden has suffered a lot because AL has taken all my attention Grin

    OT but here are Paul Ryan’s (vice presidential pick by Romney) views. Voted against repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.

    What is Mezamashi Live, a concert or an interview? I clicked on the English translation and it appears to be a TV show. Does anyone know?

    riskylady I love your new avatar.

  22. TLKC says:

    LadyNorth Adam cost me an arm and a leg in gardening fees. I let it go so badly between 2009-2011. Problem was, gardening was my early morning recreation. A little weeding and watering every day goes a LONG way. I would look at the gaps, grow and transplant annuals from boxes etc. My Adam obsession is a morning thing and it replaced gardening.

    This summer I had a guy come in and lay new sod. My neighbours were in despair. I am back to early morning watering and off to buy some plants today. These hobbies have to co-exist from here-on-in.

  23. milwlovesadam says:

    Oh. Sadly, Paul Ryan is not OT for me. I’m sad to say he’s from my state. He’s so conservative, he makes my crap-weasel of a Governor look like a liberal.

    Ron, NorthernLady, move over, I’m moving in if this duo wins!!!You can have Mils, in a shared custody arrangement. No, honestly, I’m really upset by this news.

    Need a picker-upper. Think I’ll listen to that soundcloud.

    Love the pictures from Japan. The hair, the pants. The boots. The rings and necklaces are under-stated. The nail polish is silvery. The eyeliner is subtle. No gloves. Looking fabulous. Absolutely fabulous. And very far away.

  24. milwlovesadam says:

    LULZ!!

    Another thing about him – so glad he’s not all tattooed-up – classy. (Especially dislike neck ones – ugh – even on Sauli.)

    Totally agree, ulti. Tats on delicate neck skin do NOT age well…unfortunately when u r young u don’t necessarily think about what u will look like 50 years down the road…or even 20…
    I am starting to see some tats on younger peeps that are already losing their definition and getting muddy.

    I know that Adam is planning a sleeve…thus the too-big-out-of-proportion key. But if he is serious about acting as part of his career path – and I hope that he is! – tats can be covered with makeup if necessary, but i really hope that he doesn’t do too much more. Selfishly, i want to see his gorgeousness for years to come, and muddy old tattoos are not part of what i am looking forward to.
    Thinking

  26. Kradamour says:

    Oops didn’t quote ulti correctly on my post. Frown

    I’m traveling and out of the loop – so Romney has a VP candidate now? My son is at a Romney rally right this minute in Norfolk, Romney really wants to win Virginia and he is visiting. Good time for me to be away. Glad that my son cares about politics – he is passionate – but not sure how our family spawned a conservative Republican…i haven’t written him out of the will yet tho.
    Heh

  27. milwlovesadam says:

    I agree about tats. Ugh, in general. I have the “fortune” of seeing old tattoos in health care. Ugh. I especially don’t like neck tattoos. Many of them are gang related, not for art. And don’t even get me started on street tats. On the knuckles, all over the hands, just random letters and words, usually not spelled correctly, in odd placements, just UGH. It’s drug culture. I used to work in a central city hospital. I actually miss it. It was never boring!

  28. luval says:

    Have been driving around for about an hour listening to top 40 and dance music station. Yes, I’m prejudiced about Pop That Lock but it would fit in perfectly with the dance music out there. And if they would do a radio edit and put in the Smooth Criminal sample it would be genius.

    I predict that if it’s not the new single (I’m pretty sure not) that it will be released as a single and go to top ten!!!

    Sorry, mils. Was thinking about you when I posted this morning. What happened to Wisconsin?

  29. luval says:

    This is the only pic I didn’t like. If you didn’t see the side of his face, you would never recognize it as Adam.

    Exciting news about what’s coming later in Adam’s job list Smile What could it be??? There was also something about it’s in September!

    bani @bani_
    That article was about tonight’s fan event. It says Adam talked to his fans to look forward his new job (that he can’t talk about it yet).

    bani @bani_
    Adam: “After I returned back to the US, I have a job that I can’t talk about it yet. Please look forward to it.” bit.ly/P7L11Y

    bani @bani_
    Oh, I got a info from the participant of tonight’s event! Adam did talk about this secret job. He said IN SEPTEMBER. …what could it be?

  31. milwlovesadam says:

    Wisconsin. A beautiful state. Countless lakes. The great Lakes. Lake Michigan shoreline with hundreds of beach miles. A variety of weather and crops. Abundant farmer’s markets. World class cheeses and dairy products. World leader of cherries and apples and cranberries. Milwaukee, city of festivals. Ethnic heritage, ethnic restaurants. So much to be proud of here.

    And the producer of Jeffrey Dahmer. Ed Gein. Scott Walker. The Sikh Temple shooter/shooting. And Paul Ryan.

    I put them all in the exact same category. They all kill people, directly or indirectly.

    UGH. UGH. And more UGH.

    I think I’ll go check in on Neil’s twitter. He should have something to say. He always does.

    BTW. MJ’s has a couple of threads I’m playing in today. One about the hair/Tokyo. And another about if Idol’s were Olympians. I nominated our boy for Floor Gymnastics. LULZ

    Way to keep my mind off politics.

  32. milwlovesadam says:

    It’s probably a Dye Job!

  33. luval says:

    haha mils, a dye job. That is funny! Hope it’s true, though. Smile

  34. luval says:

    After listening to that soundcloud interview Adam says exactly what I thought. That he’s not belting notes out as he could. He’s holding back because IMO people think he’s showing off. Listen to the Under Pressure at Kiev when he sings the word “why” all in one breathe. It’s spectacular. In every show following he breaks it up. This is just one example.

    I want him to let it all out. He’s not bragging…it’s Adam and his amazing range!!! Let the world hear it!

    side by side before & after

  35. milwlovesadam says:

    Yup, Neil is all over it. And actively so, latest tweets are flying in.

  36. milwlovesadam says:

    Luval, nice! My favorite thing about both pics?

    Freckled lips.

  37. luval says:
  38. LadyNorth says:

    Luval, I also want Adam to let it all out! That’s one thing he’s famous for and what makes him so unique!

    I think maybe Adam could keep the silver in front hair and make the shorter hair area in the neck and sides darker? So that the color gets darker when going down… That might look very cool!

    TLKC, that was interesting story about Adam’s power on fans Smile The sky has certainly taken care of watering here this summer, but the garden was hmmm… jungle like in some partsThinking Now garden is fine but my back is aching like hell. Too much gardening after too much time with the lap top and too little exercise lately Big Frown I hope this won’t last weeks, it’s happened many times. Going to lay on ice package now.

    Mils, it sounds like I could live at your home area too Smile

  39. rs says:

    luval, I agree about that picture. I don’t like it either. I knew which one it would be even before I opened the link.

  40. milwlovesadam says:

    LadyNorth, Wisconsin is lovely. But, our politicians are making me very sad and quite upset.

    The weather has been very weird this year. I was just telling someone how on Christmas Day I was working, and on my way home from work, I left the hospital, which literally is on the lakeshore, and went down to the beach for a walk on the sand. I went right down to the water’s edge and took a long walk. No snow. No ice. No cold air. Seagulls. Doesn’t that sound pretty? It was. It was lovely. Like a nice spring day.

    Except it was December 25th. It’s supposed to be about 25 degrees or less. there’s supposed to be so much snow and ice and cold air that the thought of being on the beach would be out of the question. It was so strange.

  41. luval says:

    mils, from this point forward if Paul Ryan comes up in the conversation I am referring to him as Mr. Bean. You know, Rowan Atkinson the British comedian. Just reminds me of him.

    Can’t wait to hear the late night shows talking about Mr Bean.

    on topic. It is 1:30am in the morning now in Japan. Adam is sleeping. (maybe).

    Lady North,about the hair…if his natural hair was dark it would look really great growing out. Like lightening bolts popping out of his head. 10 days in Japan, his hair grows like a weed and no Abrea (his hairdresser). Can’t wait to see what it will look like.

  42. turquoisewaters says:

    Side by side – I immediately gravitate towards the dark hair.
    I remember how kradamour said “Trespassing” was sibilant. I guess with a bit of jetlag, today Adam tripped over it.

  43. Ron says:

    I found a pic of myself when my hair really was the same color as Adam’s! More or less. This is 20 years ago? … with no facial hair!! Eek!

    http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL629/13192141/23472439/403632650.jpg

    Also, a photo of my Mom who passed away a few years ago. I’ve never, EVER understood why everyone would say, “You look exactly like your mother!” I don’t begin to see a resemblance. Wink

  44. adamized says:

    hi Peeps!

    Ron, Your Mom was very lovely. I think you are very handsome. Two peas in a pod in the very best way. Light hair is great for you.

    I’m with holding my opinion on the new “do” until I see it in action. I don’t hate it and I can see why it might be fun for a change. I’m very happy he went for the color and not the razor!

    New job in Sept???? Hmmmm……

    Nkd and Ceddies a return to good health to you!

  45. milwlovesadam says:

    Ron, LOL!!!

    You handsome man!!

  46. Calgary says:

    Wow, Ron, gorgeous photos! Now do a side by side with Adam. I bet you two look like brothers!

  47. Calgary says:

    On the hair thing, I wonder if he will keep it for long, because it’s got to be a lot more work than the dark. It would involve bleaching and toning, versus pouring on a bottle of bootblack, n’est-c pas?

  48. ultimathule says:

    Krad – agree about the out-of-proportion key tat – never liked it – too big – would be glad to see it embellished in some way. (And no more, Adam, please.) Don’t even like the word on his hand. Not against tats completely – have seen, say, a small butterfly on a young girl’s ankle – that’s pretty – but not these Levine tattooed-man jobs. Even Sauli’s is overkill for me.

  49. Miss Chaos says:

    Do the AI judges start filming in Sept? We can rule in or out AI?
    Ron, it looks like Adam saw your picture and decided to copy you!

  50. ultimathule says:

    Have to agree, Ron – you are one handsome man – and not just that bland handsome – like Adam your face is also interesting.
