cwm, excellent chronicle. I would only insert one little episode….I believe from the Moscow rock festival in May 2011, Adam flew straight to London and was working with that girl on “By the Rules,” (as we now know) and during that time there were a couple of ninja fan pics with Sauli that showed up later. From there he came to Miami and was working with Pharrell for 2 weeks. Remember he told us to “figure out” what By the Rules was about? I think it was when he was negotiating with Sauli, persuading him to move to LA.
Anyway, at the very beginning the day after Helsinki, I saw the article and foto of Adam holding Sauli’s face in such a strikingly gentle way. It just was so rare to see him like that, I immediately went into full research mode, and everything I learned about Sauli, including his looks (just Adam’s type as described by him), his TV reality background (not just BB, also Fear Factor – so much in common), his likeability and sweetness as described by everyone, so two days later I announced to our email group that Sauli was “the one.” I got pooh-poohed. Ahhhhh, but revenge is sweeeeeeeet!
On another note, yesterday I spent some time going around to all those YouTubes of Trespassing songs, and some Queen ones. And wow, there are quite a few comments from people who were at one of the Queen concerts, starting with Kiev, and have been checking out Adam’s non-Queen work, many of them also saying they have bought or intend to buy the album. And, many many of them are guys, too. They’re also very intolerant of Queen butthurts, and gay-bashers! YAY! Saves me work! It made me think about the comments earlier, of young people listening to music on YouTube – seems to be a lot of that.
That’s great news, riskylady – the fallout from the Queen concerts may be even better than we realize.
NCOE behind the scene is on TV again as I type this, still see it and the actual video most days at some point.
riskylady: In general I like to stay out of people’s choice of partners. But I also immediately had a good feeling about Sauli. He came across so sweet in those youtube videos. I also remember some voices saying maybe Adam should focus on his next album and not spend so much time on romance. I wish I could still dig out our old posts from MJs of those days.
The Trespassing towel
http://twitpic.com/akqcox
A towel…a beach towel? I would buy that. Maybe TBTB are finally “getting” what they need to sell to us.
Re Sauli…I was not on the Sauli train right out of the station. I never leap onto the “oh, it is love!” train in RL or bloglife until things have had time to jell.

Last summer I was about ready to join the train by the time we went to Ste Agathe, but not entirely. (I’m not much of a romantic).
But as I think I posted then, we were right at the fence of the narrow path that led to the production booth. Sauli walked down the path, literally two feet from us, and of course we weren’t expecting him. I was facing away from the path and turned because I felt the force of his positive energy, it seems strange and hard to describe, but as he walked past with that cute loping step there was actually a wave of energy emanating from him. (shakes head) I honestly can’t describe it, but it was tangible, like something you could reach out and touch. Positive, bright, tangible energy.
Since then, I have been totally on team Adam/Sauli.
A pic of the stage where Adam will be performing in about 7.5 hours. It’s difficult to tell much from the picture. Inside, outside?

In Brad’s own words re his humor:
AE: What was it like growing up in Dallas? You seem pretty out now. Have you been out for quite a while?
BCB: Yes. There was really no hiding for me. [laughs] I’m mean, there was never any doubt. There was no going undercover. It was an interesting experience. Clearly, like I said, I knew growing up that was not where I was going to stay. I was not comfortable there. I didn’t feel I could express myself safely, really.
I’m glad I had that experience. I feel that’s where you develop a lot of your character. That’s definitely where I got my sense of humor. As a kid, I needed to deflect from the fact that other kids wanted to beat me up and make fun of me, so I became the funny guy. And it teaches you a lot about life. It certainly gives you a perspective of the world you might not have otherwise.
Adam can let the sarcasm loose too:
A Trip to the Land of Locusts
by Neil on Jan.01, 2009
Talkin’ about L.A. there, but I wanted to be all cryptic and well read. I’m going to visit my brother there. On Thanksgiving we had this spectacular blowout of an argument.
You know those arguments you get into which start off innocently enough:
“Could you pay attention to the directions so we don’t get lost?”
“I don’t know. COULD YOU EVER MANAGE TO INTERACT WITH HUMAN BEINGS ON A BASE LEVEL THAT DOESN’T MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A FUCKING SHITHEEL?”
Surprisingly enough, I was the one with the mild shot across the bow and he was the one reducing me to splinters. So it turned into us trading blows for the sole purpose of cutting the deepest. He totally won, which sucked. Since then we’ve made amends and this will be our first test run of our not being dicks in each other’s presence since Thanksgiving. I’m anxious to see how it goes, though I’m pretty sure it’ll be fine.
Kradamour, I remember being able to feel Sauli’s presence so well. I still can’t believe that I have sat and watched Sauli and Katri’s video blog in Finnish, never looking at the translations. And I have done that more than once and enjoyed it! He glows with such a joy of life.
So Adam was the one yelling back, throwing blows?
Haha, I love him more!
Siblings can be so rude to each other!
adamland, thank you for that post…I have always regretted not saving that blogpage before it disappeared.

I have two sons, also about 5 years apart, and I could totally put myself into that car and hear Adam and Neil going at it.
In Paris, when Neil was being such a prick (excuse me, but no other word would work), it made me able to just shake my head, having a pretty good idea what it must have been like for him to be working for his older brother.
And when Neil lost the meet and greet photos, the memory of that blogpage is what kept me from wanting him to be struck by lightning, because I can imagine all too well the conversation where Neil had to tell Adam that he had deleted the photos. It was doubtless not pretty.
An article about Summer Sonic. It doesn’t tell what the capacity is for the stage Adam is on.

Interview on JP radio today.

New thread for Summer Sonic in Tokyo is up.
http://www.adamlambertlive.org/2012/live-summer-sonic-2012-tokyo-japan-81812
Adam will be on around 7 AM ET and 4 AM PT so many of us will be sleeping. Hope those Japanese fans continue to post their pics and videos! We need some new Adam concert videos with Trespassing hand claps and Naked Love waves!
It looks like Adam’s set will get some coverage on WOWOW.
http://www.wowow.co.jp/music/fes2012/ss/
I found it sometimes earlier (I followed Adam events’ links), it was the stage with a capacity of 10 000. There were two stages bigger than that. I wish there was live stream, because the timing is ok for me (2pm), but I guess not
I tried to find that info about stages again, but couldn’t… It was about two weeks ago I did it. Let’s hope we’ll get vid / televised later!
Many thanks to cwm, rs, adamland and all the others for sharing details of Adam’s love life! It was interesting to read about Cheeks, also how you all “discovered” Sauli’s existence. I have googled Cheeks and Drake sometimes earlier to see what they look like and seen one Cheeks’ vid (Lady Gaga’s song/Madonna/Adam), but I haven’t found info when they were together. So Adam was quite young when he was with Cheeks… Before that was his “wild” period in Europe I think?
Adam and Sauli’s story has been much easier to find, because Finnish papers have written so much about them. So after I “found” Adam, I searched for the details… A picture of them the night they met at the bar was taken by some ordinary person and sold to the press, that’s how it goes here. And I remember finding all those photos from Disneyland, LA, Bora Bora etc. I guess Sauli was staying at Adam’s house when he was in LA, not hotel… But I am not sure when he finally “moved” there, was it in summer 2011 or was it already earlier in spring.
I laugh when I hear our relatives trying to tell us Adam news… Yesterday my mom stopped by for a coffee and told she had seen a picture of Adam coming from a holiday with blond hair! I said mom that’s old news, he is silver now
Buhaha, mom is secretly berting…
OMG that photo Adam + Elvis! I have seen the resemblance before but those pictures really showed it! Same kind of nose, lips…
Now off for the outdoors, sunshine, late morning walk & swim. Summer came back this week – it’s been warmer and sunnier this week than most of the summer!
rs, have a nice trip!
Good Morning
“Driving Miss Daisy”, “Shawshank Redemption”, Oscar winner for “Million Dollar Baby”, I’ve always loved actor Morgan Freeman!
Today I love him even more.

Hi Ron, early bird
Well said, Morgan Freeman!
Wow! Adam got a tweet from kd Lang, one of the other all time great voices! Can you imagine the two of them doing Ring of Fire as a duet?!
Hi LadyNorth!
Hi Calgary!
kd lang?! I love her!
If “Ring Of Fire” wasn’t available during Country week on Idol, I’ve always loved “Pullin’ Back The Reins”. It’s more “Blue grass” than Country though:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHZXJJN4_Mg
I think Lang is brilliant here and I can so hear Adam knocking this one out of the park.
I’d love to hear them do “Mad World” together!
Someone tweeted this, don’t know if it has been posted here, pretty sobering; and also a good indication of why Adam might not be too concerned about not being a radio phenom:

Morgan Freeman

Thanks, Kradamour. It just dawned on my that one of the reasons I love this site so much is not just because of AFL, but because of all the other stuff I learn that keeps me somewhat
in tune
with what’s happening in the world these days.
The other night I was at an Elvis concert with a young couple in their late twenties and we had a great chat about the music biz today ( the guy is in a local band) and it was because of all the stuff on here that I could talk to them.
Also, eywflyer I keep meaning to say thank you to you for one of the cleanest, best- looking, easiest to navigate forums I have ever come across.
YES!

eywflyer, I don’t think that there are enough thanks in the world to thank you adequately for all that you do for us and for the extraordinary level of execution with which you do it.
I enjoy adamtopia’s content but usually give up in exasperation as I try to follow a thread or thought…plus I know that if anything important is posted there, some wonderful ALL peep will bring it here for us!
Ron– I’ve always loved Morgan Freeman, too. Thanks for the quote. What a classy guy!
(Another great movie that he’s in is “The Power of One”, set in South Africa during World War 2.)
So now Niki Minaj has a secret. She’s postponing her fall tour because of this secret & her fans will spaazz when she reveals it.
And I agree with everyone about how great this blog is. So bright & clear and easy. Thanks, eywflyer.
I’m going with Niki is preggers.
That post completely caught me off guard!

Totally possible, though.

The Des Moines Pants. Could be No Boundaries Pants.
The GN “circus” Blue with side panel and matching vest.pants, for what they strained to contain.( Especially when our darling was commando . Ahem.)
No Shorts allowed on this list. Sorry. They are not pants.
What’s missing?
Cossack/Harem Pants
Cow Print Pants
Slow Ride/Young Hollywood Pants
Stars and Stripes Pants
Clive Davis Grammy Pants.
THE GRAMMY PANTS. OMG. That whole Grammy ensemble. It deserves it’s own Hall of Fame.
As far as I’m concerned, The Laces and The Zebra Pants are tied the winners. With the GN blue side paneled pants taking a close second. IMHO.
THIS!
mils….cossack pants?
eta: I think I asked for this list to happen pages ago. Thank you!
eta again…or are the cossack pants the circus pants you listed. LOL
cow print pants from MLB?
baggy blue jeans when he has nothing else to wear?
The Slow Ride striped pants? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiS26RXQo-A&feature=related
And maybe the pants from all the fans seeing him in all these different pants!
haha… AL..took me a second..
the pants with the different leg patterns (stars, stripes?)
if interested…the flea Adam Lambert hour
http://www.theflea.co.nz
Ah AL sooo true!
This is a quote about online education vs. classroom in the Globe and Mail (Canada’s national newspaper) today:

“The electricity that crackles through a successful classroom can’t be transmitted electronically”. Haha, I guess he doesn’t know about this site!!!
Zodiac gold pants
Grammy Clive Davis party brown pin stripe pants
Question, are the Des Moines pants the same as No Boundries pants?
I didn’t see the infamous red pants on the list. And Mils I posted on the Tokyo Japan 8/15/12 after your family jewelry story one of mine.
jojosie red pants are the Crazy pants, first on the list.
For all you who live within driving distance of LA, Burton Cummings is performing st the LA County Fair in Pomona, Sept.2.
He puts on a fantastic show. Canada’s no.1 rocker, lead singer of the Guess Who. Good time guaranteed! He’s the ONLY other singer/musician I have ever stanned over.
Calgary that brings back memories I saw him many years ago in Detroit, double bill with Gary Wright(Dreamweaver)
The pants list has been updated. I can’t believe I omitted those additions the first time. I’ll blame my meds and condition today. ( A likely excuse. Hey, listen , I need one, if Mils forgets anything pants related, she must be ill. Not to mention speaking in third person!).
I saw Gary Wright a loooong time ago. Around the era of Seals and Crofts and Barry Manilow. But that must have been from another life, because I’m only 29!
Just did some research. The Des Moines pants for sure are not the One Pants. The One pants were a solid dark blue. The No Boundaries Pants are a serious contender for the Des Moines Pants. The videos of No Boundaries suck though, but, from what I could see, it’s a definite maybe.
mils thank you for your tireless research
I know it must be a real chore.
inabout all of Adam’s pants.try this mils
http://www.denimblog.com/2009/06/celebs-in-denim-adam-lambert-in-rock-republic/
actually you can find many of Adam’s pants on that site.
