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!

    I’m another lurker at MJs. I found her blog when I was checking youtube for more info about Adam during season 8. I found this video– http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_zHjeqQ05o (TheBestArts demo reel. Crawl Through the Fire blew me away, but the transition from that song to the Ten Commandments performance got me.)

    I followed the link from the video to their website, where I found a link to MJs. http://www.thebestarts.com/AdamLambert/idol/

    It took me a while to get the nerve to post and I really enjoyed the Idol tour nights, listening to garbled cell casts trying to make out his hair, whether or not he sang “Woman” or “Baby” in WLL. But I was more than ready to jump to this blog when it started. MJs is no longer fun. I just want to love and appreciate Adam. I don’t want to have to defend him or explain him to people who just don’t get him. I get enough of that around my family.

    Mils, the post came from Oksana2000 upthread.

    My daughter has the Neil Diamond Christmas album, and I’m not sure which one it is. Looks like he’s done several…
    http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Neil+Diamond+Christmas+album

    I’d buy Adam’s Christmas album too!

    I always said the day Adam makes a Christmas album I’m out. And I’m still sticking to this. Until I actually hear it…. then I’ll come up with some kind of excuse why this is different. But really, I don’t think he would. He could do a lullaby album for Riff, I would totally buy that!!!

  6. milwlovesadam says:

    turquoise, I actually don’t think he would, either. Not yet. Leave it to Scotty McCountry. He’s doing a Christmas CD.

    Unless Adam did Christmas with a Glam attitude,…Deck the Halls with Balls and Jerry, Oh Glitter Boa Oh Glitter Boa, My Dreidel Spins The Other Way, I Saw Sauli Kissing Santa Claus, Sutan the Red Nosed Drag Queen, and other such classics. Heh

    I’ve not heard of this book, but cool that Adam gets a mention

    But the mention is uncool, IMHO.
    Thinking

    So I went on the fansite for the first time since forever (sorry that I didn’t see the friend requests from peeps here! I wasn’t ignoring or refusing, just absent!) and see that Adam has viewed his fansite almost 400,000 times.
    Dazed
    Damn. It must be his homepage. Even that doesn’t make any sense. WTF?

    ETA: and Neil has 4500 views but no friends.
    Hmmm…I wonder if views means something else?
    Probly. It must mean times that peeps have viewed the profile. That makes a LOT more sense.

    Never mind. Smile

  10. Oksana2000 says:

    Krad, I think it says that his profile was looked at almost 400,000 times.Why it doesn’t make sense? Fansite has 16,000 members and some members were checking his homepage more than once, hoping for Adam to write something.Or write something for him in hope that he will read it.

  11. Oksana2000 says:

    Totally off subject, but I just found out that one of my favourite authors , Maeve Binchy, had passed away. Have you heard about her?

  12. luval says:

    Oksana…. I love Maeve Binchy!! I felt horrible when I heard this. I was actually waiting for her next book. I didn’t realize she was ill. Her epic novels just took me to another place. Even though they were all based on her Irish heritage I loved every character and felt I was Irish myself! A girl I work with named her daughter Maeve because of Maeve Binchy.

    What am I going to read now? Fifty Shades of Grey? Almost done… Boring. RIP Maeve.

    I always said the day Adam makes a Christmas album I’m out

    Out?

    Out of what? Wink

    Out of luck? Out of time? Out of breath? Out of … toothpaste?

    Laugh Laugh

    I’m not sure you were ever in in the first place, turquoisewaters. Grin

    You know I’m kidding you!! Big Smile (You’d better!) Wink

    Seriously, can’t help but be curious about your comment regarding an Adam Christmas album. Of course, it’s not going to happen.

    “Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer” Shock “Jingle Bells” Shock “Here We Go a Wassaliing” Question Question Question

    Somehow I can’t really hear Adam doing those songs. Laugh

    But I’d be more than willing and very happy to give you one of my sons … if I had one … to hear Adam sing “Christmas Time Is Here” … the theme from Charlie Brown’s Christmas. I didn’t know this haunting song had lyrics until I just looked it up. Can you hear Adam singing this?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phHwxK064RM

    What else?

    “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”. (maybe) “Ave Maria”. “I Wonder As I Wander”. “The Prayer” (not really Christmas-y but it sounds good).

    It would be non-traditional songs that are, at the same time, traditionally associated with Christmas and would be very appropriate.

    I haven’t approached Adam yet with this idea but, when I do produce this album for him, I hope that you’d consider buying it turquoisewaters.

    Silly Silly

  14. Oksana2000 says:

    luval, I think that her last book was already written and will be published in November. Or maybe I misunderstood what was written? Anyway, I loved her books, I loved her short stories, there was so much warmth in them and she was a great storyteller.
    Fifty Shades of Grey? I don’t even have intention of reading it. I can tell bad literature even if it’s written in other language. The fact that it is a bestseller doesn’t mean anything.

  15. Oksana2000 says:

    Ron, Adam can always sing “Jungle Balls”…. Grin

  18. Kradamour says:

    I don’t think that by performing a song – or a character in a play – that it changes your own identify.

    I’d love to see Adam in Sweeney Todd, for example, but I don’t think he would need to become a serial killer to play the part.
    Can a Christian not perform in Fiddler on the Roof?

    Adam would be performing Christmas songs “for your entertainment”.
    I don’t think he would have to be baptized before he made the album.
    Wink

    I would love to hear Adam’s voice performing “What Child is This” (Greensleeves). Or Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. Or … (let’s be honest) the phone book.
    Grin
    And I think he could do a killer tongue-in-cheek Santa Baby.
    Laugh

  19. Oksana2000 says:

    Krad, I think that at this point of his career Adam doesn’t want to make album full of covers – and that what X-mas album really is.

  20. Ron says:

    Kradamour, “What Child Is This”. Perfect!!

    Quick money is what it is. He doesn’t have to tour with it. People who know the songs and know his voice will line up to buy. It will make him seem more “mainstream” and safe. Once he’s in…he’ll have their hearts…

    I doubt he’ll do it, but I can see it as plus for him.

  22. Oksana2000 says:

    I give up. Yes, I would love to hear Adam singing “Little Drummer Boi”..

  23. Ron says:

    “Barbara Allen”

    From the 1951 “Scrooge/A Christmas Carol”.

    Another non-traditional Christmas song but would suit Adam’s voice perfectly.

    I just added it and “What Child Is This” to my list as a reminder for the next time I speak with Adam about our Christmas album.

    Grin

  24. Ron says:

    Just added “Little Drummer Boy”. Smile

  25. Oksana2000 says:

    Ellessay, more money than for touring with Queen? I doubt it.
    This album will be bought by his fans only, since every year we have X-mas albums done by everybody – from Opera singers to Mickey Mouse.
    Scotty X-mas album will be bought basically by his fans.

    I’m waiting for “Fifty Shades of X-mas” done by Bieber…. Grin

  26. Oksana2000 says:

    Ron, do you think that he will do his own “Pa, rum pum pum pum” ??

    The reverb/echo of Adam’s voice singing along with himself in the background? Smile

    We’ve got a winner! Smile

    Of course not. But we weren’t comparing them. Still–with all of the Christmas albums out there, I’d pick one that has songs I like sung by a voice I like. It would be very little effort on Adam’s part, and would get him into the mainstream. Maybe it will only be bought by his fans–but his fans gave him the #1 Billboard debut for Trespassing.

    Scotty X-mas album will be bought basically by his fans.

    Probably. These albums are like a present to their fans.

    I’m waiting for “Fifty Shades of X-mas” done by Bieber….

    Yuck…no thanks. Did you see where Biebs insulted Prince William? Evidently he thought the Prince should do something about his receding hairline.

  34. Oksana2000 says:

    I can just imagine Adam saying to Sauli “You want to see something??”
    and then he tweets. In about 10 seconds he gets gazillion messages demanding pictures, name of the new single, motherly advices on how to avoid sunburn and more… LOL

  35. Oksana2000 says:

    HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA RT @izla_zandz @adamlambert You’re the only person I know who has holiday pics people actually want to see. js

    Hi aely!!

    I knew it wasn’t a who or a what but instead a where. Laugh

    I’ve never heard of Cabot San Lucas. I’ve heard of Mexico, though!

    I’m geographically challenged. Why would anyone want to go to Cabot San Lucas?

    I guess … it’s nice there? Grin

  37. nkd says:

    Hi Ron!

  38. Oksana2000 says:

    Ron, it’s Cabo San Lucas located on Baja California. And stop pulling our collective leg, will ya? … Wink

  39. aely says:

    I have been there 3 or 4 times. It is beautiful. One of the best places in Mexico. (my favorite) Smile It is in the Baja Peninsula off of California. Not the scary part of Mexico.

    I didn’t know I was pulling your collective leg! How many do you have?

    It’s a lovely thought, though. Wink

    So this place is in both Mexico and California and people go there.

    Got it. Laugh

  42. Oksana2000 says:

    So… this time Adam must’ve stayed in a place that has better privacy protection than last time. I still remember pictures of Adam and Tommy taken with the telephoto lens..

  43. aely says:

    I would bet they stayed at the One and Only Palmilla. Nicest and most secluded in Cabo.

  44. Kradamour says:

    Re the Christmas Album: actually, I can best see Adam as an artist on something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Now-Thats-What-Call-Christmas/dp/B0041J69GK/ref=sr_1_10?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1344314024&sr=1-10&keywords=christmas
    It is a compilation Christmas Album of various artists. This one includes Rihanna (A Child is Born), Lady GaGa (Christmas Tree, featuring Space Cowboy), Maroon 5 (Happy Christmas), Britney Spears, Colbie Caillat…Adam would be in good company.
    Reindeer Star Present

  45. Kradamour says:

    Well, I am thrilled that Adam had a private vacation without paps and crap.
    But…I want pics.
    Thinking
    Ah, the schizophrenia that is Adam stanning…we want what he wants for him, but we want what we want for us.
    Wink
    And we want pics.
    Preferably with skin.
    Grin

    In true glambert fashion, I’ll buy a dozen. Promise.
    (Clearly you guys don’t share my aversion to Christmas albums.)

  49. turquoisewaters says:

    Now I could be mistaken, but just to explain my aversion: To me, the Christmas album is the final sellout, a declaration of loss of any kind of integrity in favor of a quick buck. Aliens from Planet Fierce don’t make Christmas albums. A HBIC does not make Christmas albums. I hope. Can you guys picture Adam sitting with Sauli under a tree and listening to Scotty’s or JB’s Christmas album??? Sorry, but noooooo.

  50. ultimathule says:

    With you, turquoisewaters – just a big, fat NO. Awful thought – sorry to anyone who’d like it – but then I have an aversion to Christmas anyhow – seems to come around every six months. My fav day of the year is December 26.
