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!

    Not interested in the music of Carey, Minaj, or Urban – doesn’t mean they won’t be interesting or effective judges, but think I’ve reached the point that if Adam isn’t involved, I just don’t give a sheeet.

    No one in my family watches it anyway – not fun anymore – they’ve gone elsewhere.

    Jersey Boys was fabulous – best show I’ve seen yet!

    But back to Adam business – I’m about to hyperventilate over this latest news!!

  3. nkd says:

    Hey Texas! Sounds like you’re having a good time. It’s good to hear that your daughter is getting situated already. I can’t wait to hear all about it when you get back. Call Me

    Wuuuut happened tonight? Oh my. Will need to make time to check in tomorrow.

    Oh how I love this fandom…

  7. milwlovesadam says:

    Tuesday night, Adam on Leno, new single, Pop That Lock….

    Universe make it so…

  8. nkd says:

    I love you mils! YES, make it so! Grin

  9. jlurksacto says:

    Leno’s Tues night musical guests are Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen so I doubt
    Adam is going to sang his new single. BUT as part of the judging panel. . . . .

  10. ultimathule says:

    You actually think there’s a chance, jlurksacto?

  11. nkd says:

    Twitlonger with Adam’s happenings while in Australia, so far.

  12. jlurksacto says:

    Adam had an interview scheduled with Byron Cooke in Melborne on Monday but
    cancelled. Traveling Mon for announcements in LA on Mon? Arrives in LA before
    he left Melborne – International Date Line.

    @bayoulady60 Sorta..He cancelled an interview w/Byron Cook in OZ cos he HAD to fly back to H’Wood & BUZZ about AI bigger than ever, idk! XD

    He cancelled Byron’s interview? I didn’t know that when I first posted this tweet from Byron I thought Byron was joking.

    Byron Cooke ‏@Byroncooke
    Just got rejected by @adamlambert …for the final time. #ourlastgoodbye #thanksforthememories

    Random Medley ‏@RandomMedley
    @Byroncooke I’m confused. Was the rejection before or after the interview?

    Byron Cooke ‏@Byroncooke
    @RandomMedley before. It’s wasn’t personal. Just means what we had planned wont happen. I’m always respectful of artists.

    Random Medley ‏@RandomMedley
    @Byroncooke well that just means that when he comes back in October he owes you one (+ I’ll look forward to it) ty 4 reply

    mmadamimadamm ‏@mmadamimadamm
    So two days ago, Adam cancelled the only thing he had on Monday in Australia, huh? Wonder if he was called back to the US for sumthin’….</blockquo

    This is the secret to youth! Eek! Lashes

  14. jlurksacto says:

    International Date Line.

    Talk about jet lag. Really messes with the head. Dates and times all confused.
    Stationed four times on Guam so did the International Date Line – Hawaii to Guam
    and back – a bunch of times.

  15. nkd says:

    You are proof of the theory then jlurksacto!
    You are much younger than the years you claim to be! Big Smile

  16. nkd says:

    Soooo…Adam just started following American Idol on twitter!

  17. cwm says:

    Holy crap, the suspense is killing me! First Adam follows Mariah Carey, now he’s following American Idol. The TMZ/Fox5 tease. The open schedule, the “rush” back from Oz. All of the teases and hints and circumstantial clues along the way.

    Twitter was melting down this evening from anticipation. I hope we hear soon or we’re all going to come apart at the seams!

  18. TLKC says:

    Mornin’ I have been following the Idol judge story obsessively for days and praying for Ricki Minaj and country judge. I just think this is the best scenario for Adam getting it.

    Imagine a seesaw: Mariah and Nicki on one side; Keith Urban on the other. Put Nick Jonas on it beside Keith Urban. How much movement? Put Adam on it beside Keith Urban. The seesaw starts to balance.

    A lot of commentary on MJ’s yesterday evening was about loving Keith but wondering about the chemistry. Adam makes the chemistry work.

  19. TLKC says:

    One more point. It may not be an accident that both Adam and Keith acknowledged talks with Idol this week.

  20. luval says:

    TLKC…LUV YOU!!! But I think Adam is coming back early to play that gig at my State Fair!!! Smile

  21. TLKC says:

    Hey luval, Adam is so talented, he can do both. Also, I think that missing a day here and there will have to be countenanced for all the judges because they can’t have left their October calendars COMPLETELY free.

    I just hope I’m right.

    ETA: Uh-oh. Your State Fair is this week, right? Well Adam can sign while he sings!)

  22. luval says:

    TLKC…yes, started Thursday for 12 days. I went yesterday with a friend from work. Same old thing but I love it! I am embarrassed to say I only bought one thing (actually 2 of these “one things”). A 4 foot banana balloon! But I didn’t buy the blown up ones but folded plastic that I would have to blow up. So just in case….I hate to jinx it…a tour next year…we can hang these 4 foot bananas (striped with black tape of course) on the outside of the magic bus! LOL!

    eta: of course I’m kidding about hanging them outside of the bus. They would cause a “drag” and slow us down!

  23. adamized says:

    luval, you are hysterical! Maybe you can go back and buy some more banana balloons. with gas prices the way they are, an airborne bus would be much better!

    OMG, if all this speculation re Idol is one big fail, I will be so pissed. It would be like they are using Adam to get all this attention and then leaving him at the alter. Going to keep positive and hope he will be selected.

    Kradamour I absolutely love political satire. The Onion’s vid was so great! Thanks for sharing.

  24. luval says:

    adamized…I’m going back to the fair this week….hmmm more banana balloons…..

  25. TLKC says:

    luval! Don’t you dare stand in front of me at a concert with one of those 4′ bananas. But maybe we can mount it on the top of the bus. Along with a bumble bee….

    We should get mlg to work up a design theme for the bus.

    Also watched the Onion video,kradamour. They really know how to make you laugh and cry at the same time.

    Soooo…Adam just started following American Idol on twitter!

    He is such a tease, because he knows the fandom ninjas watch his every move. If he starts following Keith Urban, I am going to lose it with the waiting.

    I am really torn, Nikki just throws the whole thing off for me. I really like Urban, not so much his music, but his voice and personality.

  27. luval says:

    omg…That Onion piece was hilarious! I’ve sent it to everyone I know (well almost everyone).

    TLKC…Oh no…no 4 foot banana in front of you. Don’t worry! I’ll wave one in front of Ron…he won’t care! Smile Wink But as far as the bumble bee, didn’t Adam say he didn’t want to see bumblebees at his concerts? But he loved the bananas people had.

  28. TLKC says:

    glambotgram, I have been praying for Nicki. Her very presence requires a poised and confident 4th judge. Especially when Keith Urban is so soft-spoken and laid back. Nick Jonas will not balance that panel. Adam will.

    If Nicki negotiations fail, Miley will be back in the mix and Kanye will be courted for the 4th spot.

    A seesaw

  29. TLKC says:

    We could trail them behind the bus, like one of those “Just Married” danglers. What would the slogan be? Just “……?”

  30. glambotgram says:

    What would the slogan be? Just “……?”

    Ride, Baby, Ride

    Save a Bus, Ride a Boomerana

    Runnin to our Heart

    BananaBert

    We packed our thingses and we’re going Bananas

    Grin

  31. luval says:

    Yes…trail from the back of the bus! Love the slogans.

    Trespassing here we come!

    AdamLambanana….we’re Runnin’ to see ya!

  32. ultimathule says:

    Adam tweeted that “no one sings like Xtina – no one.” How does that jibe with working with MC?
    Anyone think MC might not like that?
    Might this mean he’s not going to judge?
    Reading the tealeaves here.

  33. TLKC says:

    Uh-oh, I’ve been eating breakfast so I haven’t thought of any yet:

    Broken Open – I taste good!
    Underneath – I’m tasty!

    I told you, I’m eating beakfast.

  34. cato says:

    FYI. Came across replay of 2011 ema’s on PLDIA (whatever that is) channel 369, Dish network. They’re on until 11:00 est in case anyone wants to record.

  35. glambotgram says:

    AdamLambanana

    Say that 3 time really fast LOL

  36. TLKC says:

    Ultimathule: I was wondering about that, too. But it could be a deliberate “throw people off the scent” smokescreen. I don’t see Adam being that openly annoyed. He will continue to be nice to Idol – you never know.

  37. luval says:

    Ultimathule…that is exactly what I thought this morning. Especially since he emphasized “no one”. Kinda sorta a dis to Mariah. Why would he do that? Except, of course, he’s honest with no filter and will say what he thinks.

  38. Kradamour says:

    So I came back to see what happened during the hours that I have to waste sleeping (heh)…and all the stars are aligned for Adam to judge Idol…following Mariah? following Idol? Oh, Adam, please don’t be playing with our minds…!
    Thinking Confused Thinking

    Part of me says he is totally gaming us…part of me says he is a decent guy who loves his fans and would NOT be so cruel!
    Smile

  39. glambotgram says:

    TLKC talking about Adam and tasty at the same time, sends me to a whole different place. Shock In Love

  40. TLKC says:

    LOL!!!!! It seems as if the comments have been followed up with a comparison of Xtina and Gaga, so maybe not a big deal. It could also meant that Adam has it in the bag. He wouldn’t do it if he was on tenterhooks. Would he?

    Twitter is making me nervous. There are some really out there fans. They are talking about trending the announcement as if it’s in the bag, which it isn’t. I don’t want to see a twitter rampage if he doesn’t get it.

  41. Kradamour says:

    Kinda sorta a dis to Mariah. Why would he do that?

    I think Adam would just say “It ain’t that deep.”
    We are all about the clues and connections…but it is entirely possible that Adam sees no connection whatsoever between Mariah and Xtina this morning and was simply listening to Xtina and wanted to send that out.

  42. Kradamour says:

    On another topic, we moved my younger son back to college last week and I realized that he does not have any CDs, not a single one. Everything has been downloaded legally or illegally or sent from a friend.

    I asked him when was the last time he bought a CD and he looked at me as though I had grown a third ear. “Mom, why would I buy a CD? I don’t have anything to play it on.”

    Good point. His new macbook pro doesn’t even have a CD/DVD drive. Clearly Apple is thinking that physical media is a thing of the past.
    And Apple is rarely wrong.
    Thinking

  43. luval says:

    Kradamour…my adult brother that went with me to see Adam said the same thing about cd’s and cd players. He does not have one in his house and won’t get one. BUT, he does have one in his car where he plays Trespassing. So I’m glad I gifted him one.

  44. TLKC says:

    You know what you could buy him Kradamour? An iTunes gift card. That will make him buy something he wants. Good for the music industry. I did it for my nieces and nephew this year and I plan on doing it again.

  45. luval says:

    TLKC…I secretly would love to see a twitter rampage if he doesn’t get it! But trending an announcement if it hasn’t happened? Just NO!!!

  46. Kradamour says:

    TLKC, my son has a drawer of iTunes gift cards. He says it is easier to download illegally, he doesn’t need to remember a password or click more than once.
    The industry really needs to figure this out…
    Big Frown

    Ah, the fair! Luval, I would so love to go with you! When I was in 4-H, I always entered tons of things, it was so much fun to participate – and to win the ribbons! I took a champion ribbon for my almond cookie thins…that was a HUGE deal when I was 16!
    Chic

  47. luval says:

    I was in the 4-H building yesterday. Love the fresh faced kids. If only they knew what was coming in the years to come. I won many ribbons for my afghans. Haven’t done anything since 2009 LOL! Wink Almond thins sound heavenly.

    Wish you were here too to go. It’s only 5 minutes from my house. Plan on going a couple more times. So much to see in just one day. The big thing this year is chocolate covered bacon. yuk. I looked for any trinkets or anything yellow and black but nothing except the bananas!

  48. luval says:

    I just remembered Keith Urban was at the Fair last night. 8,100 people in the 15,000 seat arena. Had a good review.

    Seems like a likeable fellow but too “sleepy” for me.

  49. TLKC says:

    Exactly. He can’t hold off the tsunami-like power of Mariah and Nicki without some help from Adam.

  50. Calgary says:

    On the Xtina tweet,

    he’s honest with no filter and will say what he thinks.

    I agree. I don’t think it implies a dis of MC
    I think Adam is really into the technicalities of singing and the voice, finessing every note (look how he tweaked the songs on Trespassing)- and he probably sees the quality of Xtina’s singing that way. And after all, every singer is unique. He could have said those same words about William Hung!
