Another month has arrived, the last one before Adam’s new album “Trespassing” will be released! February will hopefully see Adam’s lead single “Better Than I Know Myself” continue to gain airplay and sales. There should be a bump from the music video which is expected early this month. Meanwhile Adam will likely continue working on promo events in preparation for his upcoming album release, which is slated for March 20 here in the US. Perhaps with more promo being done ahead of the album release this time around, the next tour can begin by this summer? Enjoy the chat!

Update 2/4/2012: BTIKM music video was released Thursday night, feel quite certain we’ll be seeing plenty of it on VH1 in the next few weeks!

    And, my new RS has Adam in it as a member of the panel of experts giving opinions about the Grammy nominees. Not too shabby!

    But, the article about the rash of teen suicides and homophobia in Minnesota is heartbreaking. Michelle Bachmann isn’t just an ignorant idiot, in my opinion, she is evil. Read it and see what you think. I’ll see if it has an online link.The article is called School of Hate, in RS Issue 1150 Feb 16, 2012

    ETA. I’m trying, can’t copy it to bring it over.

    Calgary, yes, it is very possible to make an mp3 from the BTIKM video. I have done it using the free RealPlayer (only on OLDIES not available for purchase, I always support my favorite performers!)

  3. Ellessay says:

    Ever since someone mentioned the crime scene tape at the end of the BTIKM video, I’ve watched the video multiple times to look for it. EVERY time I get distracted by Adam and forget to look by the time I get to the end of the video. What an attractive man, and what a powerful video!

    Yup, really, really scary!

    Here’s the RS article Mils talked about.

    Just started reading the phase where everyone is pointing the finger at someone else. Breaks my heart.

    And Bachmann gives me the shivers.

    This is precious! The little girl’s imitation of Adam is priceless and spot on.

    BTIKM video has been added to VH1.

    This is what I have been waiting for. I’m ready to vote!

  7. HK fan says:

    Calgary, yes, its possible to convert youtube links to mps, and very easy……it must be if I can do it….

    from AQD…from a person at the UK showcase

    The venue was tiny and very fancy (…with free wine \o/ ) only about 50ish people there and was completely full. I was worried that being a ~showcase full of media the crowd might be kind of crappy and more interested in the freebies at the bar, but as soon as Adam came on the atmosphere was just as electric as any GNT shows I’ve been to (…but minus the screaming Glamberts with their cameras at the front) – lots of media fanboys were getting really into it and singing along \o/

    Set was same as Austria show, vocals totally flawless. Adam sat on a stool for most of the set but stood up and shook his thing to Trespassing, which is sooooooo good live and even acoustically you can tell it’s a Pharrell song, beat is super-danceable. OOL was so haunting, sang wrong words in 1st verse of WWFM but idt anyone noticed. The acoustics of the room & sound system were way better than some of the other venues I’ve seen Adam at (Shepherds Bush Empire sound was SHIT) anda pro FILMED THE WHOLE SET

    you’re welcome Smile i didn’t watch all the Austria vids, but from what i did watch the London crowd was way better. there were a few ppl sitting at tables around the outside but the majority were standing around the stage & seemed to be getting into it – would say Trespassing got the best reaction but none of the songs felt ~flat

    Adam was doing the whole networking thing and talking to everyone, didn’t want to bug him so just had quick chat & goodbye before we left. spoke to some media ppl afterwards & all said great stuff about Adam & sounded generally positive about his UK promo and what a nice guy he is GrinDD tried to get some gossip out of the Flaunt mag guy (…who was pretty hot) about the shoot, but he would only let on that it was ‘incredible’ and ‘different’

    Calgary — as others have said, it’s very easy to rip an mp3 (audio) file from a youtube video. It’s also easy to rip an mp4 (video) file, too.

    This is a good thing when it’s a video of a performance that will never be for sale. But when it’s a recording of music that is for sale or a music video, it also means that, unfortunately, it’s easy for people to steal them.

  12. Kradamour says:

    I haven’t had time to read the millions of comments, hope to still do so – has anyone noticed/speculated whether the pomegranate juice stained that incredible coat? I know, this is so ridiculously minor in the greater scheme of things! but it comes to mind. Question

    We made it to Stockholm in one piece. Just barely beat the snow. It’s cold as shit! Stoked to be here! Smile

  14. luval says:

    kradamour…he probably had Scotchguard sprayed on the coat. Smile

  15. cwm says:

    New article from the UK. Haha Shady is a “sleazy disco funk about cruising for sex.” Oh boy – this is gonna be fun to see how Middle America reacts to that! Bring it on Adam! And awwww what he says about settling down with Sauli. In Love

  17. glambotgram says:

    Kradamour LOL I think you are the first one to bring it up. But you are right it is a concern. I am hoping it was really colored water because that was a lot of juice to get out of that pomegranate.

    Anyone else think that Light Adam was a double when sitting by the broken glass at the end and standing by the mirror tossing the pomegranate, and watching dark Adam pour out Tequila? Doesn’t look like the back of Adam to me. I know they can double shoot the scene and have Real Adam playing both parts but some parts look like a double to me. Just something else to speculate on and a reason to watch a few 100 more times, for research ya know.

  18. glambotgram says:

    I was wondering when one of them would say something about the cold, All of Europe is cold this week, snow in Rome.

  19. Happy Birthday Ron!!!!!!! Smile

  20. luval says:

    glambotgram…I thought that might be a double too but I can’t see Mr Control Freak doing that. It would be like lip synching. But maybe we’ll find out someday.

  21. turquoisewaters says:

    has anyone noticed/speculated whether the pomegranate juice stained that incredible coat?

    I had certainly noticed how he held that pomegranate far out in front of himself so as not to get anything on the coat. Even Dark Adam has his priorities straight.

  22. Kradamour says:

    I can’t see Mr Control Freak doing that. It would be like lip synching.

    Agree. Someone pretending to be him, when he has worked so hard to make this vid and he is so proud of it? Nah, I don’t think so. Heh

    All I do is watch this vid. RL is pointless. This may be the catalyst that makes me buy a big TV with internet access so I can watch Adam’s vid on a big screen. Srsly. Isn’t this superbowl weekend? gonna look for a good TV deal, bet there are a lot of sales…

    Hey, there is a “smirk” emoticon!!! Smirk

    Ron, your birthday? Have a happy! Cake Heart Cake

  23. Kradamour says:

    turquoise, I love practical Adam!

  24. turquoisewaters says:

    from the dailystar article:

    I’ve seen and slept with a lot of great people

    Oh Adam. That’s one way of putting it.

  25. luval says:

    yay yay yay Kradamour is getting a big tv!!! (maybe)

  26. turquoisewaters says:

    Happy Birthday, Ron!!! Present May it be the best year yet! Clover

  27. asiangurl says:

    Hi everyone on the subject of whether he stained his beautiful coat if you look closely he has the cuffs covered with something for that scence.

  28. turquoisewaters says:

    Just saw this: Vevo – Hot this week.

  29. luval says:

    asiangurl is right…find the pic (that nkd posted) with him squeezing the pomegranate and compare it to the many others. There’s a black towel-ish thingy on his cuffs.

    A very merry birthday to Ron, Happy Birthday to YOU!!!!!!http://www.adamlambertlive.org/wp-content/plugins/tango-smileys-extended/tango24/cake.png

    I woke up a bit before 3am and watched the vid on my iphone. Have to admit that I thought some of the dark Adam acting was pretty funny. It wasn’t until I got in front of the computer and experienced the beauty of both sides of BB did I begin to really appreciate the vid. Now after watching it many many times I can say that I love it. I especially love when light Adam is trying to get dark Adam to connect with him and the times when light Adam is looking at dark Adam with both sadness and compassion. It made me see what Adam could be like as a Dad with a wayward son.

    Big sigh. Just love that boy!

    Ron, a very very Happy Birthday to you….
    nobody sings it better!

    Be sure to get your party on, Ron, and have a very happy birthday!!! Present Cake Music Note Drink Party

  34. riskylady says:

    adamized, I too just love the facial expressions of light Adam, they are priceless – when he’s tossing the ball/orange (?) the quizzical expression, shaking his head at pouring the liquor on the floor…and there’s that one frown early in of dark Adam that’s just fab too.
    Have to watch a few thousand more times to catch them all properly.

  35. Ellessay says:

    I agree, riskylady. Every time I watch I see something new.

    One thing I noticed–Light Adam seemed to be at peace. He was writing, singing, dancing a bit, doing yoga meditation, drinking herbal tea. Yet he seemed to long for a little excitement, looking wistfully out the window, and trying to befriend Dark Adam with overtures (sharing the pomegranate, offering to play chess) But Dark Adam was tormented, jealous, and self-destructive. He tried to prove how unlovable he was by trying to anger peaceful Adam, but could not rile him. When Dark Adam smears the eye makeup it seems that he is in tears–and has a breakthrough, realizing that he is hurting the best part of him. He has to reach out to accept the peace and love to become a whole person, and to balance those moments of torment. Light Adam also has to accept his Dark side to exist outside of his own self-imposed prison. This is a very thought-provoking video.

  36. Ellessay says:

    I’ll add my happy birthday to Ron also. Hope you had a fun celebration.

  37. eywflyer says:

    Happy Birthday Ron! Smile

    This is an awesome video. I was lukewarm about BTIKM initially, but the video totally sells the song for me. I think that will be the case for a lot of people. By far the most artistic and thought provoking video Adam has done – I would be surprised if this isn’t up for some video awards.

  38. glambotgram says:

    riskylady he is tossing the pomegranate. Big Smile

    I still say I love the look when he is lying on the bed, so yummy it just melts me each time. I have watched it so many times i am virtually a puddle.

  39. Ron says:

    I’ve watched the video many times now. Instead of wanting to edit it and slow it down, I sped myself up. Smile I love it. I fully appreciate it now with all of its different shadings and complexities. It took a while but I also like the song very much! The video makes me anxious to see Adam take on a real acting role.

    glamberthaf28, how thoughtful of you to remember my birthday! Thank you all for your birthday wishes! It’s not official until tomorrow the 5th at 9:55am. I think it’s so nice to be born in the morning when you can begin the day life on a proper note. Big Smile

    Thank you! Kiss

  40. cwm says:

    Nicely put Ellessay. I agree with everything you said.

  41. Kradamour says:

    OMG, Ellesay, I just loved your post! The best explanation of the video that I have read. Thank you for putting into one place, so beautifully, what you saw in the video. Heart

    And yes, luval, I just bought a TV. 50″ 1080 HD plasma with internet connection. Arrives tomorrow. Adam is a very expensive addiction. Pain

  42. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Happy Birthday, Ron!!! Party Cake Hope you have a special “birthday suit” to wear today! Giggle

    Hi, glambertha! Good to see you – I missed you!

    Happy TV Kradamour!!!

    Timing was perfect! Husband thinks we are getting it for the superbowl and cannot believe his good fortune! ROTFL Evil Grin ROTFL

  45. Kradamour says:

    Thanks for photos showing the sleeves with, um, prophylactic protection. I worried about that coat…I need a life. Side Frown

  46. Ron says:

    You would think I was getting this TV, Kradamour! Smile Very excited for you! This is a case where size does matter. How big are we talking about? Wink

  47. Kradamour says:

    How big are we talking about?

    50″, Ron.
    TV TV TV

    So glad you stopped in to celebrate my TV your birthday!
    Nice that your birthday is on a weekend this year. I hope that you will have just the day you would most like to have. And a year with more of the same. Music Note

  48. glambotgram says:

    Timing was perfect! Husband thinks we are getting it for the superbowl and cannot believe his good fortune!

    That cracked me up. Happy to hear about your TV Kradamour. Just think you only have to give it up for about 4 hours tomorrow then it belongs to Adamlove. One question, will it fit in the corner?

    Ron Happy Birthday. Have a great one.

    BTIKM views up to 814,845

  50. riskylady says:

    LOL Kradamour, congratulations are in order. Now you wll have almost life-size Adam to ogle look at.

    Someone over at MJs mentioned that there is a ton of symbolism in this video, from the Pomegranate, to the white horse (that one we caught) to the left/right hand thing to the chessboard, maybe more that I can’t remember. Anyway, I just want to wallow in the beauty of Adam and not be bothered with analyzing. Maybe later…..a few months from now…….
