The first month of 2012 finds Adam’s new single “Better Than I Know Myself” already making its appearance on the Billboard Hot 100, as we await the “official” radio add dates of January 23 (HAC) and January 30 (CHR). Hoping for much promo and excitement in the next few months as things build toward the release of Adam’s second album “Trespassing” on March 20. We should have a new tour to look forward to later this year as well! Enjoy the chat!

    Sorry, Ron! That’s probably in the brown bag too!!

  2. Kradamour says:

    Ron, I’ve been popping in and out and never said how much I enjoy your new avi! Smile

    luval, it is impressive how quickly you came up with such a complete list of junk food. Not implying anything, mind you… Grin

  3. dcglam says:

    Okay, so no wonder I have never heard of Sandi Patty and the Cactus Cuties.
    TBH, I pay zero attention to country music. I have to admit though that all of the above artists seem to have rather large fan bases pulling for them — Adam included.
    I suppose he may have approximately a 25% chance… ????
    Of course, that is without including Michael, luval. Wink Adam’s chances go down when we include him.

  4. luval says:

    I don’t know why I have Buble on the brain. Guess I’ve just seen him around a lot lately.

  5. Ron says:

    Hi Kradamour!

    What a nice compliment. Thank you very much. I’ve been a little concerned about you because I thought you’d post about Adam appearing on Leno and Ellen (unless I missed them) but then I remembered that you don’t have, and don’t wish to have, a TV. Maybe this is a false memory but I seem to recall that you purchased a 4″ TV? Those performances will of course be on YouTube but, I guess, I just don’t want you to miss out on anything. Smile

    I don’t know why I have Buble on the brain

    First read, I thought you mis-spelled bubble Big Smile but then realized what you meant.

    I think the title of his next CD should be “Buble On The Brain”. Catchy. Big Smile

  7. luval says:

    I like that title, Ron. Maybe I’ll call him and suggest it. Smile

    Kradamour’s 4″tv is no joke. It’s HD! Should be fine. How do I know? I have one too. Yeah, on youtube in minutes!

  8. Ron says:

    luval, did you send David Bowie a birthday card today? Wink 65 years old and I find that hard to believe but it’s true.

  9. luval says:

    Oh crap, Ron. I knew that but I forgot! I’ll send him a belated card with a little insert (GN DVD). And I’m not kidding this time. I have the brown mailer ready to go. Will pick up a card tomorrow or maybe I’ll make one.

    You know, why do I sort of get the feeling that they may actually go with none of the above group of four?? Maybe they are holding out for someone like Buble in hopes that he may be available. They have to make a decision soon or they will end up with maybe ME!!! Evil Grin

  11. Ron says:

    Do you have his home address or will you be sending it to an Agency?

    If by any chance anyone would like Liza Minnelli’s home address in NYC including the apartment number … I have it. Smile

  12. luval says:

    Ron, I only have an agency in New York address.. I called them a while ago and they said I could send something there for Bowie. Hell, if Liza knew Bowie I’d take you up on that address!

  13. Ron says:

    dcglam I would welcome seeing you on my TV screen or anywhere else for that matter! Smile

  14. Ron says:

    I think Liza knows everyone in the world luval but I don’t see her borrowing a cup of sugar or taking a package over to David Bowie. Big Smile

  15. luval says:

    I notice several of the NA singers have been from the hometown the Super Bowl is played. Who else other than Adam (and the mens group) is from Indianapolis?

  16. dcglam says:

    dcglam I would welcome seeing you on my TV screen or anywhere else for that matter!

    LOL…. My singing voice not so much, but thank you for the very sweet sentiment, Ron! Blowing Kisses

  17. Ceddies says:

    no wonder I have never heard of Sandi Patty

    Oh, dcglam, Sandi Patty is gospel and big-time Dove Awards winner if my memory serves me correctly from many years back. She does sing the song beautifully; but, somehow I can’t really connect her with a sporting event. Just me probably.

    And, with that, I’m gone in for the night. Nite all.

  18. dcglam says:

    Good point, luval! Big Smile

  19. dcglam says:

    Thanks, Ceddies! I love learning more and more about the music industry each and every day from wonderful people here at this site, including yourself. Heart

  20. Kradamour says:

    Kradamour’s 4″tv is no joke. It’s HD! Should be fine. How do I know? I have one too.

    Hehe, luval! Smile

    That was so sweet of you to think of me, Ron! I’m going to be very in and out and all around until mid-March because of RL, so I might not be posting a lot, but I count on y’all peeps to bring everything here for my our entertainment lol…and Adam on Leno is wonderful news, Leno loves him some Adam. Ellen is a little bit of a loose cannon, but she loves her some Adam, too. I’ll probably have to catch Ellen on youtube but Leno I’ll watch in real time on my small but mighty 4″ TV!

    Honestly, I am getting butterflies at the thought of hearing BTIKM live! Chic

  21. milwlovesadam says:

    Jojosie, you crack me up! I don’t know everything, but I sure try!

    I remember reading something she posted about being the “whatever” to Adam and not getting the respect she deserved. I do remember that she brought a lot of unhappy fans out of the woodworks with her article. I think this was during the AI8 Tour. Seems like such a long time ago already.

    Anyway, that shopping cart looked so healthy. Mine was almost as healthy at Costco, until hubby put a few select items in our cart. Let’s just say he has a sweet tooth! Brownies. And a bag of Chicago Corn ( cheesy popcorn and caramel corn in the same bag. Yum-Oh). My pick was the Healthy Choice frozen fudge bars, 100 calories.

    Love the EMA coat on Adam for his video. Love the semi-Emo semi-Elvis hair. I’m still meh on the medges. Love that he’s recycling. I do suppose that if he’s settling the lawsuit, that he needs to watch his pennies, good thing he already loves to recycle and re-use his clothes!!

    Speaking of the lawsuit, I honestly hope that part of the settlement includes a clause that forbids that scum sucking douche bag to cease and desist from ever using his name or his material or image or voice ever again.

    Here is the article: http://www.thefastertimes.com/unconventionalrelationships/2009/08/10/why-sleeping-with-adam-lamberts-dad-is-too-complicated/

    I thought (and think) that it is pretty tasteless and egocentric, but I don’t think she has written anything else to do with Adam. Always wondered if she just decided not to, or if Eber (or someone else) suggested that maybe she should write about other things.

    She seems bright and interesting, though. I can see where she and what we know about Eber would make a good couple.

    Here’s video of Washington Wizards dancers performing to IIHY during the NBA game today in DC

    http://yfrog.com/048ufiz

    LOL….. This has to be the highlight of the Wizards entire season. This is my home team, and they have yet to win a game this season. This is pretty much their record for every season — always at the bottom. So yes, knowing that IIHY played today at their game made me smile. By the way, Washington, DC has the worst sports teams evah!!! I sometimes think of moving to Boston (my son) or Wisconsin (my sister). All their teams are AWESOME!!!! Haha….. Wink

  24. dcglam says:

    I thought (and think) that it is pretty tasteless and egocentric

    I thought and still think the exact same thing, Kradamour. Her comments turned me off at the time, and I haven’t gone back. Just a little too crude, in my opinion….. Rolls Eyes
    I remember feeling badly for Leila not only for having to read it herself, but also for knowing it was posted on the internet for everyone. UGH!

    Claude Kelly loves him some Adam! “Songs you didn’t know I wrote…”

  26. cwm says:

    Found this on twitter; it was a fun read. Someone compiled all of the media love Adam got in response to his AI performance of WWFM (when he served as mentor). It’s great to read all of the different ways media people found to praise him for that performance.

    http://maiaj.livejournal.com/256557.html

    These kind of reactions to him make me even more excited to see what he does with BTIKM at his upcoming performances.

  27. cwm says:

    Finally, here is video someone shot in Shanghai from outside of the venue. Not much of a video, but if you listen hard, you can faintly hear Adam singing in the background. LOL

    http://static.youku.com/v1.0.0209/v/swf/loader.swf?VideoIDS=XMzM0NzIzOTA0&embedid=OTcuOTYuMTYuMTE3AjgzNjgwOTc2AnQuY28CL2VlaFpGdFNB

    Listening to the videographer’s emotional reactions in Chinese to his singing is pretty funny too. There’s a universal language of berting, I think. Smile

  28. turquoisewaters says:

    I thought (and think) that it is pretty tasteless and egocentric

    And completely unnecessary. What’s wrong with “I live with Adam Lambert’s Dad”? That whole search for a proper phrase seams more of a pretext.

  29. dcglam says:

    Adam news from Brian Mansfield….

    Adam Lambert’s Better Than I Know Myself jumps 22 spots on the Idol airplay chart (No. 89-No. 67). Twenty-three stations (most notably San Francisco’s KLLC-FM and WOMX-FM in Orlando, Fla.) spun the record at least once last week.

  30. riskylady says:

    Fans of “Can’t Let You Go” – take a listen to Claude Kelly’s audio clip posted by cwm above. I don’t know if it’s because it comes straight from his studio, but the sound is A-F**KING-MAZING!!! The voice is more up front, especially the verses, almost as if in person. It’s downloadable, too.

  31. Ceddies says:

    It’s downloadable, too.

    Hey, riskylady! You’re right, this is CHILLING. I listened with headphones. Did you detect an echo-like sound of Adam’s voice? I didn’t on the first listen, but did on the second listen. I’m not good with technology anyway (as you all know), but I can’t find a way to download it. I really want to. What do I look for–or is there a special way to open it so I can download?

  32. riskylady says:

    You’re right, Ceddies, I listened with headphones too, and there is a tiny bit of echo. I notice that with BTIKM too at the beginning, and wonder if that is something specific with Claude’s studio?
    Anyway, I’m no whiz either with technology. I use RealPlayer, which you can download for free, and when you pass the cursor over a clip, audio or video, if it can be downloaded by RP, a little box appears “Download this Video” for you to click on. I practically raped Kelly’s audio clip with the cursor, until finally SURPRISE the box appeared asking if I wanted to download the audio clip, and it worked – playing it right now! Goosebumps!
    Maybe others have other downloaders that they can suggest to you, too.

    ETA: Might be able to email it to you, if the file’s not too big..

  33. Ceddies says:

    Thanks riskylady. I use RealPlayer too, but could never find anything to latch onto. I’ll try the hovering thing and see if the download box will appear.

  34. riskylady says:

    Do you get the little box normally on videos?
    ETA: I don’t know how or why the box appeared, and it said Audio, that has never happened for me before. And I tried to do it again just now, and nothing – it just doesn’t appear at all. A miracle the first time, I guess!
    Still, if you want email, let me know.

  35. luval says:

    Makes me laugh. Doesn’t Claude Kelly know that most Glamberts know everything about songs Adam has sung?!

  36. riskylady says:

    Luval, I think his point was that a lot don’t know that he wrote FYE and CLYG. I actually knew he wrote CLYG, but really never paid attention to who wrote FYE, only to the producer (Dr. Luke)…..but I think most everyone knows he wrote BTIKM because it’s gotten written up so much. I love all 3 songs, wonder where he draws from to write songs like CLYG and BTIKM? Would be interesting to know!

  37. LolaGlamb says:

    Riskylady, I would love to have a copy of CLYG. Could you send it to me at: mywinniedapoo@yahoo.com? Many thanks for the effort, whether or not it will send. I never loved the song before because Adam’s voice was drowned out, and it frustrated the heck out of me to listen to it.

    This was beautiful, incredible, I’m in awe of that voice!

  38. dcglam says:
  39. riskylady says:

    LolaGlamb, I sent it to you just now from RealPlayer. Pls let me know if you get it….and, you may need RealPlayer to receive it into your RealPlayer library…my regular Yahoo email wouldn’t let me upload the file.

  40. riskylady says:

    dcglam, I hope they see that pic over at MJs – they’re always saying he has to wear makeup to look good. Those eyes!

  41. dcglam says:

    Hmmmm, riskylady…..
    We will have to think of a way of working it over there. Wink

  42. Calgary says:

    dcglam
    All is can say is WOW

  43. Kradamour says:

    dcglam, loved that photo you posted…so that is what Sauli wakes up to in the morning… Chic

  44. dcglam says:

    LOL by Byron Cooke….

    http://yfrog.com/o099673581j

  45. milwlovesadam says:

    Oh honey, I think Sauli wakes up to much more than that face in the morning…..

  46. dcglam says:

    LOL….. Off to the corner, mils, right along with me. I’m still there from yesterday!! Heh

  47. milwlovesadam says:

    Well, I listened to CLYG. Thanks CWM. Sorry, it was cleaner. I’ll give you that. His vocals were outrageous. I’ll give you that.

    It’s just soooooooo over-produced. I can’t listen to it more than once.

    I would however, love to hear a more stripped down version. That would knock my socks off.

  48. turquoisewaters says:

    Haha at Byron Cooke giving “trespassing” a whole new meaning. I so remember that interview. http://adamlamberttv.blogspot.com/ . The original interview is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdWp6JbkNZ4

  49. milwlovesadam says:

    By the way, um, if anyone is still looking for a cleanse. I would like to suggest the large box of Spring Greens salad mix from Costco. Holy Cow!! Hubby cam e home from work today, asking, “what did you do to me?” I told him “nothing I didn’t do to myself!!” Poor baby.

  50. milwlovesadam says:

    Well, too many Adam on the Stairs avatars. I’m off to another on demand episode of Boardwalk Empire. Is anybody else a fan? It beats the Sopranos by a mile.
