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!

    Mils, I think your schedule is right on schedule. We can dream, and sometimes our dreams do come true. Remember when we thought he would sing the whole medley with Queen at the EMAs, but everyone else said, no way, he’ll sing a few lines at most? And remember when Sonisphere was cancelled, they all blamed it on ADAM causing low sales? And predicted that would be the end of Queen/Adam? And, even if Idol doesn’t happen, equally good things could happen……#glasshalffull, that’s me LOL.

    Adam will be at the Take 40 Live Lounge Wednesday evening around 8 PM Sydney time (7 AM EDT, 4 AM PDT for most of us) – exact time has not been confirmed that I know of so it could be earlier too.
    I’ll have a thread for whatever the OZ fans manage to deliver.
    It does seem like they are “berting” big time down under!

    TLKC, you have mentioned the PopLedge article a couple of times. I have been on and off and must have missed it. Do you have a link?

  7. aely says:
  8. nkd says:

    Thanks aely! I did just find that article. Nothing new there, just a reduction of the Australia one.

    I wish they would just announce already. This is getting ridiculous!

  9. nkd says:

    Haha!

    Nigel Lythgoe ‏@dizzyfeet
    I should ask the Prime Minister if he would be interested in being a judge on #AmericanIdol. It appears everyone else has been asked?

  10. aely says:

    That tweet is so funny! Makes you wonder how many of the ones named were actually ever contacted.

  11. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    jlurksacto, thank-you so very much for the Kiev DVD!!! I’m leaving bright and early Thursday morning to help move our daughter to NYC for her first year of college
    ( *sniff sniff* ), and I am saving “Kiev” as a treat for myself when I get back home!
    Cry Big Frown Smile Big Smile Grin

  12. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    I’d like to know that as well, aely! BTW, do you have a new gravatar, or am I just not very observant?!

  13. aely says:

    Yes. I used a pic from London Queen concert. First one!
    You will love the DVD. NYC how cool! Good luck to her. Smile

    Hi sparkle, you are always a winner in my book.

  19. TLKC says:

    Oh I’m so sorry guys. I thought I posted it. Just got up this morning and saw your request nkd. Thanks for posting aely.

    The interesting thing is that Shoshanna retweeted this article and suggested we trend something because we haven’t in a while, so it suggests that there is an official aspect to this interview.

    As a print article, it was suspect imho, because things get misrepresented. Her re-tweeting suggests there’s a possibility, however remote.

  20. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    aely, I thought so! Looks great!

  21. JOJOSIE says:

    Just stopped over at MJ’s and Adam is singing Bob Marley. He sounds great and the band looks like they are having fun. I like seeing him doing this. Seems like other artist are throwing in a classic cover every once in a while. A trend I like. High Five!

  22. AL says:
  23. LadyNorth says:

    13 pop stars who deserve to be bigger – Yes, really!!!

    5 Adam Lambert

    Stay with me on this one. At this point, the “American Idol” season 8 runner up is recognized as more of a celebrity than a singer and Top 40 is pretty much ignoring him. Have you listened to that voice? It could shatter glass. He deserves way more respect and attention from mainstream radio for his vulnerable pop songs and his mega-watt vocals. Check out “Trespassing” if you haven’t already.

  24. LadyNorth says:

    AL, I was working on it same time but you beat me Grin

  25. Calgary says:

    AL, Lady North, re the 13 pop stars who should be bigger I found it interesting that several of those are singers Adam has talked or tweeted about!
    And of course as a Canuck I have to say, go Sara and Tegan!

  26. Calgary says:

    To all you regulars on this site, I have to say a big thank you. I realized today, when it has been pretty slow, that if everyone mostly lurked like me there wouldn’t be much to read at all. So keep up the good work, guys! I sure appreciate reading all your remarks!

  27. Ceddies says:

    From the article re 13 pop stars, the only one who grabbed me is Emeli Sande’. Miguel was just okay as were several others. Could have been that I didn’t like the video or song they featured. When I have time, I plan to give a listen to more than one of their songs.

    Oh yes, there was this one guy, Adam Lambert, who just freaked me out with his vocals and stunning good looks. Hellz yeah, he should be given more attention on radio, etc. Pissed Off But I digress…

    ETA: Now I’m really po’d because my little po’d face just disappeared.

  28. Ceddies says:

    My little face reappeared and disappeared again. Is that what happens when we edit our comment that includes one of these?

    I also remember Adam mentioning several of these singers.

    Calgary, your comment got got me thinking about how many posts there are versus “lurks” so I looked at the numbers of some previous threads. It seems that for each post/comment there are 20 peeks/lurks/page views. For this thread, we’ve had 2028 posts and 40,000 page views – or roughly 5%. That is pretty typical.

    But those page views could be anyone refreshing the page a few dozen times each to see if new comments were posted too! Kinda’ like multiple CD purchases! Wink
    And of the 5% that are comments, some posters make up a larger percentage of that than others! Clap Star Wink

  30. TLKC says:

    Hi Guys! I just saw a couple of tweets from Downunder that indicate that Adam told the radio DJ’s Kyle and Jackie O on Australia’s “Number One Breakfast Show” that he is still in the running for a judge’s spot on Idol. I think we can take it that the Pop Ledge interview was reported truthfully.

    Why Adam has mentioned it (as has Nick Jonas), I am not sure, but Idol has definitely talked with him.

    The key words are: “As far as I know….” We can’t be sure whether Idol is bothering to tell the people they haven’t chosen.

    If they haven’t chosen everyone on the panel yet, then my only theory is that the final 1 or 2 judges depend on who is signed next. For example: if they sign Nicki Minaj, Adam is in; or: if they don’t sign Nicki Minaj, Nick Jonas is in.

    That’s the only reason I can think of that they might leave candidates hanging.

  31. TLKC says:

    Here’s the radio station’s tweet:

    Kyle and Jackie O‏@kyleandjackieo

    “As far as I know… it’s still possible” @adamlambert admits on the #KJshow he’s still in the running to judge #AmericanIdol!

    It almost looks like Adam dyed his hair dark again with blond highlights. But I know he didn’t. From the radio show this morning.

    Luval I thought at first it was an old picture. Must just be the lighting.

  35. fwachdr says:

    I know you all are Down Under, but I just got to watch jlurk’s Queenbert Kiev DVD straight thru…no interruptions…it was BEAUTIFUL!! Much better than the Glamnation DVD which hops and skips all around. This just fuels my desire to see Queenbert live. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou again, jlurks!!!

    Is anyone watching America’s Got Talent? Howie Mandel just told contestant Andre Deleon that he could be the child of Marilyn Manson & Adam Lambert! This was a compliment! I voted for this guy DeLeon last night. He’s not the greatest singer but different!

  43. Oksana2000 says:

    luval, I noticed this too!! (America Got Talent) Not only it was a compliment, but it also means that Adam Lambert is a household name!..One doesn’t make a reference to something obscure, right?
    I’ve read on one of the NoName blogs that Kris is the guy that won Idol 7 thru 11. (Nasty, but I couldn’t resist)

  44. Oksana2000 says:

    I wish I could post more, basically I’m limited to just reading and enjoying all your posts, I don’t know what I would do without my daily ALL fix…
    A little OT, but niece of my friend (the one who saw Queenbert in Poland), went to see Madonna performing in Warsaw,Poland. She said that it was total waste of money and now she wishes that she joined her aunt instead.

  45. luval says:

    That’s right, Oksana. For anyone who doesn’t watch this DeLeon guy is a young singer…very goth with black hair, black eyeliner, ice blue contacts,wears high creepers… Yet unexpectedly sings opera.

  46. milwlovesadam says:

    I can’t contain my love for Is This love to just the thread. I’m just dying over it. And it seems like folks at MJ’s are too.

    Texas: safe travels and best wishes for a good school year for your daughter in NY.

    One more listen to Is This Love, then I need to spend more time with my boys before my nest empties out in a few days.

  47. jlurksacto says:

    Nick Jonas is in.

    Nick Jonas was in the running only in his mind; for the publicity. Those
    actually being considered for judges avoided answering. Announcement time
    is close and peeps being considered are opening up a little. JMHO, and all
    other disclaimers.

  48. luval says:

    I have to admit…am starting to like Is This Love.

  49. firstimerob says:

    I am leaving in the morning to a place with no internet for a week. This is going to be a test for me, thank God I have Jlurks dvd thank you again and again. Kiss

  50. Oksana2000 says:

    Re AI judge rumours. I think that TPTB will milk that publicity cow until there is not a drop of milk left in the udders…anything to draw attention away from XFactor..
