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!

    After a number of viewings, I’m so impressed with the BTIKM video. Artistic, beautifully produced, thought provoking, and sells the song extremely well. I haven’t checked the airplay numbers yet but from some earlier posts here it looks like the song is starting to make serious gains on Hot AC.

    It’s really becoming clear that this light/dark duality is central to Adams artistic identity, and really is a common theme from FYE to Trespassing IMO. FYE video was dark Adam, IIHY was light Adam, WWFM was a mixture but mostly dark, and BTIKM is a showdown between the two sides.

    Exciting times! Can’t wait to hear the album and hear all of these tracks live!

    Thanks for that, dcglam. Didn’t see that last night. If I was Madonna I would be pissed that this nobody singer (IMO) upstaged her fine performance.

  3. ultimathule says:

    The VW/dog commercial was my favorite, too.

  4. ultimathule says:

    The band was sick and now Adam’s got it. Does anyone know when his next performance is supposed to be?

    Adam said before that he knows how to sing thru a cold but I don’t know if he can perform thru a fever & dizziness. Frown

    Hi All.

    I really really missed all of you at adamlambertlive here.

    Right now, I’m in the dark and naked.

    I mean my PC woes. I lost everything. Had to replace my hard drive. I didn’t have a back up so I’m pretty naked now. My PC is not working properly.
    Good thing I got signed in yesterday to wish Ron Happy Birthday.

    I had my computer woes … again. This time was bad. Everything is gone. My PC wouldn’t even get started.
    I had missed all the fun and will never catch up.
    The Galaxy Tap 7.7 hasn’t reached this region yet.

    Sorry for the rant. I’ll be back as soon as I can.

    I missed all of you and all the fun here very much.

    Congrats sistakrads on your huge TV. Now you can watch the bouncy Tigger up close and personal.

    nkd – that pic of Monte – wow – what can one say – at the SuperBowl in a costume? With a once-great performer now trying to keep up with the kids – that’s sorta sad, too.
    Don’t know the extent of Monte’s involvement in BFM, but Adam has twice responded surprisingly vehemently – particularly with the “band is ten times better” and the emphatic “bridge” comments – so it must have been pretty painful whatever Monte did.

    Thanks for mentioning this NKD. He also made mention about his new band (I forget the words he used–HELP!) sounding or simply “BEING” more of an ensemble yeah, I think that is what he said meaning no show boats…that was the implication I believe!!! His comments were very deliberate IMHO. I do not see Adam as someone who would say things like that if there was not a basis in fact.

  10. asifclueless says:

    PlanetFierce
    Could I have the link to Monte, please? Thanks.

    I like the Half Time Show. Madonna looked great and gave a good performance.

    Congrats to the Giants fans !!!

    My DH got up at 2 am here to watch Super Bowl. I woke up just right at half time. Then I went back to bed after Madonna.

  11. ultimathule says:

    Thanks, ms0712 – now something to worry about all day. It’s about 7:00 p.m. Monday night in Stockholm. Wonder if he’ll be able to perform – I presume it’s supposed to be in about an hour or so?

    Oh, dear BB, hope you feel better soon. It’s so uncomfortable to be sick away from home.

    Here’s a nice little blurb in an Italian blog about the BTIKM video. Sorry, don’t know how to bring over the translate, so use Google if you can. Here’s the best part, anyway:

    Two versions of the singer, dark and soft, with attempts of invasion by the most aggressive and rebellious. In the end, a broken glass and a hand is laid upon the ‘good’ Adam gives an insight into a fusion of two opposing souls. To emphasize even more the look with two colors of eyes gazing into the camera Lambert. The song is effective and interesting and promising new horizons of success for the pop star.
    To give even more credit to the rumored presence along with the Queen for the Sonisphere Festival, despite the singer does not specify that there is still nothing certain. The same enthusiasm, however, admits to working with the band:

  16. fwachdr says:

    I don’t get it–my computer says 1.6 million views of BTIKM on vevo and only 9,000 on vh1–what’s with that???

  17. luval says:

    That’s probably correct, fwachdr. They are two different things. The VH1 viewing is only to get the video shown there. We should divide our views between the two.

  18. ultimathule says:

    Thanks, luval – I was wondering what to do with regard to the two.

    Happy Valentines Day, Glamberts! The #BTIKM video will be available on iTunes.ca on Feb 14th. http://t.co/Jkhbw2Mm @adamlambert

  20. fwachdr says:

    Thanks, luval. I’ve been alternating between the two, but looks as if I need to stick with vh1, if we want to get BTIKM into the Top 20.

  21. riskylady says:

    Oh, sad sad sad Pain Pain Pain
    I think this is a first for Adam.

    graceinspace1 minute ago
    Awww the organizers of the Gala just said on their fb that Adam had to cancel because he’s so sick. Frown
    I wonder if this will impede him from going back home tonight/tomorrow morning as he was gonna do. He needs some boyfriend cuddles, me thinks. (speaking of, the discussion at hand, the guy has been monogamous for more than a year)

  22. Ceddies says:

    This looks really good to me. Adam is #1 under Today’s Most Popular Music.

  23. asifclueless says:

    QX Note Cancellation

    Attention Glamberts! Due to illness, we regret to inform you that Adam will not be performing on QX Note this evening. Adam hopes to make it up to you when he returns to Sweden and wishes all of the nominees the best of luck.

    Poor BB. Get well soon. Cry

  24. Ceddies says:

    Good Adam is sick today thanks to all that smoke he had to inhale because of Bad Adam. Thanks alot Bad Adam!!!

    Cute comment shown under the BTIKM video on VH-1.

  25. luval says:

    I’ve always wanted to mention that I LOVE the breath that Adam takes just before “cold as ice……”. Makes the song seem even more real.

  26. asifclueless says:

    Listening to Adam talking to Simon Morykin right now.

    He is on Signal 1 Radioplayer.

  27. fwachdr says:

    Ceddies, Such a relief to see BTIKM at #1 on vh1’s Today’s Most Popular Videos! I hadn’t seen that and am relieved to see that my few hundred views of it are working!!!

  28. luval says:

    I know this was posted a couple of days ago but The Home Planet has a pretend James Lipton interview with light and dark Adam. LMFAO!!!

  29. luval says:

    So riskylady that’s iTunes Canada only?

  30. nkd says:
  31. HK fan says:

    Poor Adam. he must be bad if he’s cancelled a performance. He didn’t miss one on the whole tour.

    the numbers are probably low on VH1 because they won’t let anyone outside the US watch adams videos. it really pi***s me off, because i can sometimes watch other singers videos on there but never Adams.

    I always love to hear good news, and this is great!
    However, what in the world is the deal with radio??? The song and video have received so many accolades from so many different sources. How long will it take for the song to be part of a regular spin cycle? I am getting so tired of listening to the same, same, same songs over and over and over again on the radio. Obviously, I’m not able to listen 24/7, but I do check the playlists from multiple stations whenever I have the opportunity. It’s just not happening for BTIKM in my area, yet.
    Maybe, just maybe some of you guys have better news to share with me. Fingers Crossed

  33. luval says:

    dcglam…nothing in my area either…central New York. Saw WWFM at midnight on a playlist last night. This worries me a bit. I think the only chance we have is the video/VH1 to help BTIKM get to radio. Think I’ll give VH1 some hits right now.

  34. Kradamour says:

    Maybe, just maybe some of you guys have better news to share with me.

    Well, dcglam, you know you won’t hear anything from me. I am basically still waiting to hear WWFM down here. Have heard it 3 or 4 times total on the radio, only one station. (shrugs)
    So when I post that I heard BTIKM on the radio here, Adam will have ARRIVED! Grin

  35. glambotgram says:

    nkd that Sassy post is so funny. he can wear that while Sauli wears his hoodie jumpsuit thingy. He looks so good in all those pics.

    The Sweden recap was wonderful, so many beautiful pictures. I hope when the station posts the showcase that they include his stand up routine.

    I don’t usually listen to radio around here but I did try to request BTIKM and most of the stations don’t even have request lines unless you log in on facebook. Frown

  36. Ceddies says:

    So, I’m trying to order my Fault magazine. Is it the Fault 10 magazine that will have Adam in it? Anyone know?

  37. dcglam says:

    So when I post that I heard BTIKM on the radio here, Adam will have ARRIVED!

    LOLOL, Kradamour!!
    I am laughing because it is funny, but on the other hand it is very sad. You all know what I mean…. Wink

    I was trying to keep it a secret, but I have to confess….
    I e-mailed our good friend, Toby Knapp, twice already with no response. Well, all of his Adam blogs were phony as far as I’m concerned. This station in the DC area (Hot 99.5) is also Ryan Seacrest’s station. They not only are not including BTIKM, but also they haven’t even been including WWFM for a very long time. In other words, no Adam on that station. Here was my very “sweet” message to Toby with which I signed my real name…..

    Hi Toby~

    I am a big fan of your radio station and especially your show. You come on each day just when I am driving home from work — perfect timing!
    I have a question for you. I read all your recent online articles regarding Adam Lambert and his new music. I believe he is going for adds on pop radio this week for his latest single, Better Than I Know Myself.
    Do you (and your station) plan to include it in your regular playlist? Thanks so much for responding and for your thoughts.

    Have a pleasant evening,

  38. luval says:

    As I said previously VH1 may be our only hope. It’s getting near 10,000 views. Not sure if this is good or not. I’m getting angry over this.

    I hope Adam gets better, comes home and really starts his U.S. promotion. And f**k Ryan Seacrest. I hope he appears on the Voice (which I dislike), Letterman, Fallon…the usual suspects!

  39. riskylady says:

    Sothat’s iTunes Ca riskylady nada only?

    Don’t know, luval, I saw Sony Music and figured it was US….I didn’t click on the link.

  40. nkd says:

    Ceddies, here’s the link for the Fault offer. You “like” it on the facebook page and then the special offer will come up. On the left is an Issue 10 special offer tab with a star, click on that, the order page should come up.
    I think that’s how it all worked!
    https://www.facebook.com/FAULTMag

  41. luval says:

    Ceddies, I looked at my receipt from Fault and it said ” Product name: FAULT Issue 10 deposit”

  42. glambotgram says:

    Is it out there on twitter to watch on VH1? Maybe if it gets put out there to watch there then the views will go up. They are at 10070 right now.

    It has dropped to # 2. Come on give it some hits, everyone who can.

    ETA I may be wrong about that, it is still #1 on the first page but listed as 2 on the page under his video.

  43. eywflyer says:

    The Hot AC panel has fully reported, BTIKM got 5 adds in the past week. It’s up to 27 adds total out of the 92 stations on the monitored panel.

    Top 40 adds are mostly reported on Tuesday. With 24 of 156 stations in that format reporting, BTIKM has not picked up any adds yet.

    Hopefully things improve when Adam returns to the States and does promo. I never understood why his mgmt scheduled him for an overseas promo trip during the initial push to radio here.

  44. Oksana2000 says:

    I’ve checked other vids on VH1, the view count is unusually low. Bruno Mars “It will rain” posted 2 months ago has all of 101,000 views. Looking from that perspective, Adam video that posted 2 days ago and gathered 10,000 views is doing incredibly well.
    JMO.
    BTW, discussion on MJ about “Shady” gave me a headache. I don’t know if I’m at kindergarden or nursing home for elderly.

  45. Ceddies says:

    Thanks luval and nkd. I did get my Fault 10 ordered. It was the right one, and everything worked well once I “liked” the thing on FB. McAfee decided to do an update right in the middle of my trying to order and check back here to see if I was on the right track. Everything slowed down, and I was in a tizzy. But all is well.

  46. nkd says:

    Dark Adam has a single bed, light Adam has a double bed!
    Just an observation! Big Smile

    Oh, and the gauges at the end are different than what either D or L Adam wore. He has on the stainless steel looking ones at the end. I still think the difference is in the shadow.

  47. nkd says:

    Yay Ceddies! I’m glad it all worked out. Big Smile

  48. Ceddies says:

    The number of views on VH-1 went up by 189 views in 11 minutes (6:46 p.m to 6:57 p.m. CST). Three of those were mine, hah!

  49. ultimathule says:

    Lol, Oksana – the bile from certain posters on that “Shady” discussion is almost funny – they can hardly contain themselves in their – I guess you could call it hate. Glad I got a post in to that GS person about the pig comment before MJ shut it down. Hope it stays there.
