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!

    The live shows and live judging don’t usually start until late Feb. or early March.

    Again, I can’t b-quote. Mils, I thought the shows usually start in mid-February as I had posted earlier. You just explained what goes on in January n February. I usually don’t watch until the actual shows start with their Top 12, 24, or whatever number they choose to start the show with.

    Hi everyone. Down here in not-sunny-at-all Miami getting Tropical Storm Isaac weather. Very rainy, extremely heavy showers at times, lots of wind. Some people have no power already. Most places closed. Bad driving conditions. Transit closed. Winds up to 44 mph felt up this way.
    This idol waiting thing is driving me nuts. Now we have to wait until Sept 22nd!! I do like Keith Urban thank goodness. I can bear his face weekly. I hope..hope..hope to see Adam’s as well but we can only keep our fingers crossed. If it is true, lots of peeps over at u know where are gonna be pissed Laugh

    Hang on Cher, I am glad it is not a full fledged hurricane. I am watching it closely, My daughter is now in Navarre FL. They are waiting to see if they get an evacuation notice.

    And on a whole different subject. Cute video of The Cherry family.

    I’ll be fine glambotgram thanks. Ooh. Navarre. I believe the storm might strengthen into a hurricane when it hits the Gulf of Mexico so that part is not a great place to be in unless it heads more west and south.
    Right now the projection is looking toward New Orleans, Houston, Dallas way.

    Happy Birthday adamized! I hope that you’re having a great day! Kiss Heart Present Cake Drink

  8. LadyNorth says:

    Cher, good luck with the hurricane! I’ve never experienced that (and hopefully never will).

    Hi rs, nice to hear you have a good holiday! But being without Adam access, that’s bad I know, I had my off the grid week in summer… My recommend number one is that watch the official take40 version of Adam’s Marley cover “Is this love”. It’s looovly! The speculation about idol judge is killing us, I can’t wait until September 22, seriously!!!

    My day has been even more active than yesterday. Instead of gardening I went to hardware store (!) twice and bought things that I have never bought… I guess next weekend will be constructing Shock But in the evening I finally had time to relax in front of my lovely present Queen+Adam Kiev DVD! So many many thanks to Jlurksacto who has done a marvellous job spreading the beautiful treasure! US Flag Mail Music Note Star Rainbow Rose Drink Big Smile It was wonderful quality, both sound and picture! I guess euro mail Turtle was quite a fast swimmer Smile

    If anyone wants nice covers for the DVD, here is one (on Queen fan site)

    And here you can download MP3’s of that same concert. I did it, it went fine, but needed a program to unzip it.

    Okay back to work…and school starts tomorrow for us teacher-types! Have a great day dcglam, and all the other teachers on the blog, both “out” and lurking!

    Happy birthday Adamized!

    Love to see Adam’s manager Dana. See him in the background with his “Killer Dana” shirt on. Wonder how he’s enjoying the ride?

  11. dcglam says:

    Have a wonderful birthday, adamized!! I hope you are enjoying every minute and celebrating to the fullest.

    Ah…thank you, Kradamour, for the back-to-school wishes. You are such a sweetheart! Please know that these same wishes go right back atcha!!! Wink

  12. dcglam says:

    To cher and all of our Florida peeps….
    Stay safe!!!

  13. dcglam says:

    So, where is Waldo???
    I’m assuming he is on his way back to LA at the moment. Airplane

    I’ve been gone all weekend and am trying to catch up. So, if the Idol judges aren’t being announced till Sept 22nd, why did Adam have to cancel his Byron Cooke interview and rush home? I love those interviews!

  16. fwachdr says:

    And Happy BD, adamized! And have a stimulating time at school, kradamour, dcglam and all teachers! And if that doesn’t work, come back to ALL for your stimulation!!!

  17. TLKC says:

    Happy birthday adamized! How I wish you were at my house. I had a tea party this afternoon with tiny sandwiches, a galette a strawbery salad and various desserts but 24 mini cupcakes never made it out of my fridge and onto a 3-tiered tray. I am looking at them and wondering what to do. If I could, I would put a candle in every one of them and sing you happy birthday. Cake Party

    Ron will be happy to know that there is 2/3 of a bottle of vodka left – I only made 4 martinis this hot afternoon. Come on over dingbat!!!

  18. TLKC says:

    dcglam, according to the last person who interviewed him, Katie Purvis, Adam will be home tomorrow morning. The thing is, he technically has nothing to do for a while so I am hoping he takes it easy this week and goes out to dinner at least twice so that we can have some papparazzi pics

  19. Teri63 says:

    To those of you in Florida: May you and your friends/loved ones stay safe. I haven’t been through a hurricane, but I’m a midwesterner and have been through a couple tornado scares (but, thankfully, not the real thing). As far as Adam’s “prognosis” goes, I wasn’t previously rooting for the Idol gig (and I’m still not secure in how I think it’s going to play out for his long-term image), but after witnessing how much he seems to want it, I pray that it all goes in his favor, potential long-term ramifications be damned. Truly, I’ve kept going back and forth on the issue, and the whole issue has had my stomach in so much of a knot that I’ve literally stayed away from blogging. I just can’t wait until it’s all resolved one way or the other.

    On the same subject but, perhaps, another tangent, I truly do think he already knows his Idol fate. I can’t imagine, no matter how powerful the Idol force may be, that they can put the schedules of industry professionals indefinitely on hold while they make their “decisions.” Whatever Adam’s fate turns out to be, I truly think he’s been apprised of the situation from the get-go. He’s either been pleading ignorance to us to ease our sadness or to allay our fears. There’s no way a corporate entity even as powerful as Idol could leave professionals in the dark for months on end awaiting their decision. No manager or record company would put up with leaving a schedule empty for a month awaiting any decision. He may or may not have the Idol job, but, either way, he knows the scoop and is waiting for the go-ahead to share that scoop with us, IMO.

  20. jlurksacto says:

    The show announced on Thursday that it will release the names of the judges at the L.A. auditions on September 22, 2010.

    Interesting. And this means something to what is going on now?

  21. luval says:

    Teri63

    I agree with you that Adam knows and has known for awhile. I haven’t been involved with any of the Adam/Idol talk here because I have always felt the same as you. When I saw Adam at Fantasy Springs and said he was “deliriously happy” I really felt he knew. Either happy that he got it or happy that he knew he didn’t and could move on.

    Am not going to comment one way or another and let whatever happens happen. In my own mind I’m resigned to whatever the decision is. Adam will have a career and I’m along for the ride!

    jlurk…I think people (including myself) were wondering when the last judges were announced thinking maybe the same timeline will happen this time. IMO

  22. glambotgram says:

    Yes jlurksacto we are only speculating.

    As to why he came back early, maybe there are still interviews happening, maybe there are contracts to sign, maybe he has something totally not on our radar. Wink

  23. dcglam says:

    LOL…. Looking forward to those paparazzi pics for sure, TLKC!!

    And many thanks for your new year wishes, fwachdr!

  24. ultimathule says:

    If he’s not going to be a judge, why can’t he just say so? Is he helping Idol out by creating suspense? He gets publicity by keeping his name out there, but would he do it just for that? Confused here.

  25. jlurksacto says:

    About the only thing that past Idol history shows and is consistent is
    a WGWG will win. It looks like the judges are picked so why wait for
    almost a month. Have to get the bashing going for real over at MJ’s
    Have posters waiting with cocked keyboards.

  26. jlurksacto says:

    Cher suggested a XFactor tie-in. Offical announcement of Idol judges just before
    XF starts on Sept 12th.

  27. dcglam says:

    Have to get the bashing going for real over at MJ’s
    Have posters waiting with cocked keyboards.

    LOLOLOL, jlurks!!!
    And cher, I can totally see an X Factor connection as part of the plan.Wink

  28. TLKC says:

    If Adam has known all along, then why did he speak up the way he did this week? He would have been silent.

    I actually wondered if Adam spoke up this week because his managment had asked Idol for an update and were told to hang on. A good sign but not definitive.

    To me this mirrors any other job application where you get to the interview stage. Sometimes the interviewing company moves slowly and they reserve the right to do so. Idol may easily have kept Adam/Nick Jonas/Miley Cyrus on hold while they tried to sign their lynch-pin judges. As in any delayed decision, it is fair for candidates to ask Idol for updates if something comes up in their schedules that might conflict.

    Idol doesn’t have to announce anything until just before Hollywood week. Does anyone know when Hollywood week is? Which year did they have guest judges in Hollywood week – Season 9 or 10?

    ETA: Luval – my interpretation of his Fantasy Springs euphoria was that he had just had a “lovely”interview with Idol or was looking forward to one the following week. Remember, he got back from UK mid-July and went almost immediately into those 5 West coast shows. Imho, the interview was right after the West coast tour.

    Have posters waiting with cocked keyboards

    Pop those keyboards!
    Or cock those keyboards!
    Or pop that cock!
    no, wait…pop that lock!
    That’s it!
    (whew)
    Grin

  30. adamland says:

    Kara Dioguardi announced on 9/3/10 that she was leaving Idol, that was why the announcement of new judges was so late in the month. Ellen had announced her departure 0n 7/29/10.

  31. jlurksacto says:

    Adam Lambert ‏@adamlambert

    “Madness” by Muse is STUNNING. LOVE this song.

    peeps are speculating that it is an “airport tweet”, and he is taking Qantas QF093.

    @brianlondon
    Going home! Melbourne, u have such a cool energy! See you soon!

  32. luval says:

    jlurksacto:

    QF93 from Melbourne to Los Angeles

    Departure 09:35 (Mon)
    Arrival 06:55 (Mon)

  33. fwachdr says:

    Kradamour, Love your lyrics! LOL!!

  34. Ceddies says:

    Happy Birthday, sweet Adamized! I’m so happy you’re getting to spend some time with Kradamour. Y’all have fun.

  35. jlurksacto says:

    Supposition, opposition out the window. Adam wants this, I want this for Adam,
    Adam has this. IMHO, and all other qualifiers. (Mariah might be in also)

  36. glambotgram says:

    I was just looking at United Airlines 840

    Melbourne to Sydney to LA arrives at 10:15 am

    I guess it depends if they were already on the plane when they tweeted.

  37. jlurksacto says:

    I was just looking at United Airlines 840

    I read that these airlines fly from Oz to US direct: United, Qantas, Virgin Australia and maybe Delta

  38. cher says:

    Hi again everyone. Thanks for the well wishes. Wasn’t as bad as they thought we would get. Unfortunately Isaac will be a category 2 hurricane in a day or two and it won’t be good for those in its path. Pray Sad news that one of my customers, a young lady with a small daughter was killed in a car accident this morning directly attributed to the bad weather. I wish the best for her daughter and her family. Just terrible to hear. Cry
    I believe if Adam really wasn’t going to be on idol he would have already said so to stop his fans from all this angst. Don’t u? He’s a sneaky devil. Grin

  39. dcglam says:

    Supposition, opposition out the window. Adam wants this, I want this for Adam,

    Just love your thinking, jlurks….. Yes Heh

  40. glambotgram says:

    It is one of these two flights, they are all that are leaving Melbourne to LA in that timeline. Quantas is direct, United has layover in Sydney.
    Inquiring minds want to know lol

  41. ultimathule says:

    Guess our boy is somewhere over the vast Pacific – wonder what he’s thinking.

    Went into “flight aware” and can track the flights – the direct is about an hour and a half into the trip – takes about 13 hours and 22 minutes – arrives 7:10 a.m. PDT.

  42. ultimathule says:

    Also went into “flight alert” – will send updates – lol.

  43. ultimathule says:
  44. ultimathule says:

    Happy Birthday, Adamized! Good to see you’re still having them – I bailed out a long time ago – no one calls me that day – go into hiding and drink a lot.

  45. nkd says:

    cher, so glad to hear you all are past the storm, and am so sorry to hear the sad news about your customer. Take care! Heart

  46. nkd says:

    Kradamour and adamized, have a wonderful visit! I’m so happy you get to spend some birthday time together, and a tad bit jealous I’m not there! Blowing Kisses

  47. Ceddies says:

    I remember a while back that some of you lost the ability to Bold, Block-quote, etc. Mils, I think you were one who had lost that. Anybody, what was the cause of that or did you ever find out why it happened or how to fix it? It’s driving me crazy, even crazier than whether or not Adam is going to be on Idol. Now that’s bad, you gotta say…

  48. ultimathule says:

    Jennifer/followthesun1 to Michael Orland – “I wish you got to make the decision about the new judges for Idol.”

    Return: “I wish I did too would have been a done deal at first mention of Adam for me.”

  49. Ron says:

    Sorry to be late to the party, adamized!

    Hope you had a wonderful time on your special day! Cake

    Much love!

    Rose

  50. nkd says:

    He’s so pretty! Even with a hint of purple in his hair! Grin
