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!

    Hi Kradamour!! Exactly what I thought…he made us (me especially) fall in love with him all over again after these 2 interviews. Just terrific. If you go to AQD there is a list of 5 or 6 songs from the new album, what they are about and even a little demo snippet from one of them.

    Haha I don’t go to Kohl’s much either. They seem to carry notable lines…JLo, Vera Wang…have never been able to find anything. Nice that you were able to find that jacket. I had no luck.

    cher…that is so funny about you, the customer and your computer. So you have 2 full time jobs. Smile

    BIG ETA: NOT 24/7….but AQD is the list of songs from Trespassing!

    Can someone explain to me what Adam is wearing on his legs and feet?

    Luval, I had spent quite a bit of time looking at that picture and trying to figure out what he had on his legs, finally gave up (I do have a life, after all…) but your post has me back at that photo again. At one point I even thought it might be long cutoffs over boots…The more I look at it, the more I think I could be right. Plus a third piece, a sort of fabric legwarmer over the medges and under the long cutoffs.
    Brussel sprout, indeed! Chic

    I’m just as intrigued by the zippered shirt with the loincloth hem LOL…

  4. JOJOSIE says:

    What I noticed also is his lack of jewerly. No necklaces, no gloves, etc. Today I had a near tragedy. I got to work and noticed that My Adam pendant necklace wasn’t around my neck. The cord was hanging there but no pendant. My new office is the back of the building (old hospital} with very long hallways. I retraced my steps with no luck. When I finally checked my car out it was there on the floor. I’d really thought I’d never find it. Now I have to get a new cord or chain. Can’t wait to hear the song, about his relationship with Sauli and language problems amongst others. Big Smile

    Hi all!
    So much happening today, I’m trying to catch up and keep up. I am with y’all on the falling in love with him all over again! Listening to these interviews and looking at the gorgeous pics may put me over the edge! Way over!!!!

  6. luval says:

    Kradamour…that’s what I first saw too…the cut-offs. Then noticed what looked to be a satin-ish wrap around the ankle part of the medge. The shirt is another story. I like it!

    Oh JoJosie i know what you mean about possibly losing the pendant. Has happened to me a couple times. I need to get a stronger chain.

    Exactly!!! Not complaining though. Actually yes I am. The one that pays for me to attend AFL concerts is hindering my AFL obsession! Oxymoron? Chic

    You bet, and it’s the story of our lives! Wink

    Do you guys all remember cell phone gate??? Haha, sure you do.
    Scroll down to the blue section for an Adam mention. He is not alone….

  9. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    dc, I loved Adam’s cell phone gate. He respects his audience enough to give the best he has to give; I was proud of him for calling out the rude audience member. I still can’t believe someone would be so rude as to talk on the phone during such an intimate performance … Geez!

    The Virgin Radio interview was purrfect!! I am in awe of his interview skills. Thought his explanation of Finn-Gate was spot on. If he had been given an hour to prepare his answer, I don’t think he could’ve written and delivered it any better. Being his fan is SOOOO easy Grin

    luval, you’ve got mail!

    I was really proud of how he handled that question and the changes that he and Sauli made for the better in their relationship. Sounds like someone who has his head on straight and wants to be happy with the man he loves.

  11. riskylady says:

    Someone isolated the snippet of the demo of Underneath (one of the songs Byron Cooke previewed). Take a listen, because I remember when I heard a snippet of Can’t Let You Go and fell in love with it. I think Adam will kill this song and it sounds beautiful. Byron said Adam’s version just had a piano! Hope it stays that way.

  12. Ron says:

    From Bryon Cooke:

    1 ] TRESPASSING : The title track [written by Adam & Pharrell Williams] is BANGIN! Really feelin that “We Will Rock You” inspired opening rhythm, the bass lines got an “Another One Bites The Dust” feel to it and theres a really cool guitar hook. Best line has gotta be “Wait till ya get a load of me”. Theres a breakdown part near the end just straight Adam vox and drums..no bass. Sick.

    2] COOKOO : Ollie Gee, Bonnie McGee & Adam co wrote this. Bonnies previous credits include several Katy Perry hits. Cookoo is another one for the hit list! Wont give too much away on this one! Wait till ya hear it! Definately a party jam.

    3] BROKEN ENGLISH : An anthemic, slower tempo track co written with Adam by Lester Mendez [Enrique, Shakira, Nelly Furtado, Dido]. A beautiful love song which might just possibly be autobiographical. “I know you will understand I gotta tell you somehow”. Like say you had a partner whos 1st language wasnt English….you might encounter this situation! Quite haunting in parts & some fat beats ..an amazing song.

    4] UNDERNEATH : Another track from Adam’s “darker side” and definately one of the stand outs. Its stripped back basically to piano and vocals & REALLY lets Adams vocal shine…at least in the rough mix I was played. You got to remember these tracks are SO new they arent even finished yet!

    5] KICKIN IN : Damn it got this white boy movin! [dont worry I wont show you my moves] Written by Pharrell, its a club banger and for mine…a HIT! “She puts the shot glass down, she asks for another round, girl dont u hit the ground, is it kickin in”. Funky shit.

    6] CHOKEHOLD : Adam didnt play me the song but went out of his way to tell me about it at lunch. Hes really excited for people to hear it when its ready. Says its got a 90′s Depeche Mode feel to it…I say bring it on!

  13. cher says:

    Omigosh! Thanks to Byron, I really can’t wait now! I’m liking BTIKM a bit more, but I want to hear songs that rock my boat! Smile Very excited with Byron’s preview. I think in one of the interviews he said for his 30th birthday he would be in the UK? I’ll be in my home country at a music festival that weekend. Gotta lose some weight before I head down to pig out! I won’t list what I plan to eat there. Too shameful to mention. Quiet I may do so when I return after rolling my overfed self off that plane. Cool
    The hotel I’m staying at is all-inclusive with 5 restaurants on the premises, so gearing up for the foodfest. I’ll have to skip the swimsuit this time around. Hippo Couldn’t find a pig emoticon, so the hippo will do. More fitting anyway. In Love

  14. cwm says:

    Sigh. So many goodies today, I’m just worn out. I loved both of the radio interviews. He is so dang articulate, thoughtful, and interesting. He handled the Fingate question masterfully and I have huge respect for the way he was honest, took responsibility for what happened, expressed regret, and committed to learning from it and improving himself as a result. Damn, he makes it so easy to love him.

    And holy crap, the details from Byron Cooke’s listening session make me want to hear this music so bad! I’m excited about all of the songs! I’m particularly intrigued by Broken English at the moment, because I’m such a romantic, this is clearly Sauli’s song, and I am so smitten with Adam/Sauli together. Besides the lyric that Byron tweeted, remember these additional lyrics to Broken English that Adam tweeted and Sam Sparro owned up to? Sounds very sexy.

    https://twitter.com/#!/sam_sparro/status/120361470033793024

    Also, I didn’t see this demo snippet of Underneath posted here. Windmills at MJs found this demo snippet for Underneath, written by Tom Shapiro, and it does appear to be the right song. Skip to 1:05 – 1:15 to hear it. It’s just a teaser, but it sounds like a perfect melody for Adam’s voice.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzEPv1ohX8k&feature=player_embedded#

    So besides the 6 that Byron listed, we also know about:
    – BTIKM
    – Outlaws of Love
    – Shady

    That’s 9 titles. Plus, from what we know about collabs, there should be a Bruno Mars collab song, a Nikka Costa collab song, and an additional Bonnie McKee collab song.

    Aaaahhhh, I love love love how Trespassing is shaping up! The way he talks about how personal the lyrics are, the variety of moods and tempos and grooves on it, what the different songs sound like, and the fact that he considers his vocals “really really on point”… I am imagining myself falling hard for this album.

  15. cwm says:

    One more thing! Apparently Sauli had a photoshoot today. Check this out:

    Damn. Razz

  16. cwm says:

    Ok, I’m not quite done yet. Here are Byron’s goofy photos enlarged:

    http://byroncooke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/bc_al_mont.jpg

    Byron is awesome. I love how great he is with Adam and Adam’s fans, and what a good sport he is. Byron and Adam are a riot together.

  17. cwm says:

    Sauli’s latest blogpost is up. He says he’s been doing “some modeling jobs for a couple of magazines” (!!) and posted the new pic I posted above.

    Original: http://www.saulikoskinen.net/2012/01/oofta/

    Translated: http://www.adamtopia.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=sauli&thread=631&page=1#145643

    In his latest “Sauli in Hollywood” blogpost, he jokes about the pap pics of him and Adam grocery shopping, and includes a couple of new “healthy” recipes. LOL He’s so cute and funny.

    Translated: http://www.adamtopia.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=sauli&thread=629&page=1#145649

    By the way, just for grins and giggles, I made Sauli’s recipe for meatballs the other night. They were good!

  18. luval says:

    Ron…thanks for bringing the “songs” over here. Today is starting out great! Seems similar to 2010 when he was beginning his promo. Not sure which interview I like better. Maybe Virgin96. Only because he talked about Fingate, the music, plans for his birthday. (booked in Europe to sing?). All in all a wonderful evening. Just love that guy!

    Good morning cwm! Thank you for all the goodies you find. I want to try the carrot things!

  19. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    cwm, thanks for all the wonderful treats you shared with us to wake up to! My excitement for the coming weeks is only matched by how much I’m looking forward to enjoying it with all of you here – we’re all time tested and have weathered both the good and the bad together, and we’re still here after all this time. It’s very comforting to me Smile

  20. riskylady says:

    This is an even better listen of Underneath. It is ONLY Underneath, separated from the rest of the video of Shapiro’s songs.

  21. luval says:

    As much as I’ve said I hate demos and I feel they really do sound like the final product, I love this one and with a piano…can not wait!

  22. PlanetFierce says:

    Hello Everyone, been lurking mostly of late. We are only in our new place here in GA 6 weeks (and part of that was dedicated to the holidays) and now all of my husbands siblings (and a few nephews, nieces, etc) are descending on us like storm troopers next weekend about 22 in total. 12 are staying at our house and the rest in hotels or they live here. So I have had to push up some “projects” so that the place is as presentable as I can make it. It will be a blast and of course this is one of the reasons we wanted to get out of south FL, so we could be closer. But I gotta tell ya, I am worn out and suppose to be looking for a job..well that is on the back burner for a few more weeks.

    Anyway, I can’t wait for this Adam storm to kick off. I have loved every snippet I have heard so far..so excited for the album’s release!!! I actually did something today, that I haven’t done since I was a kid. I contacted 2 top 40 radio stations in Atlanta via twitter and requested Better Than I Know Myself. One of them was actually playing WWFM as I was typing the request…so awesome!!!

    Hope everyone is enjoying a healthy and prosperous start to the New Year. I am a stranger in my new surroundings, but I feel that I am among the best of friends here!

  23. cher says:

    Hi there PF! Glad you’re settling in well up there! It’s gonna be an awesome Adam year, that’s for sure. Kiss

  24. dcglam says:

    nvm

    Beautifully said, Texas….
    Ditto to your sentiments!

    WOW + Adam’s vocals on this = DOUBLE WOW!!!!

  26. dcglam says:

    Good to hear from you, Planet Fierce! I know how crazy and hectic things must be for you right now, but I’m happy to hear that you still have managed to keep up with all the excitement over here. Kudos to you for contacting radio stations and requesting “our song.” Wink

  27. dflowers says:

    So, here in RL at work and they give us the vacation schedule to fill in the dates we want to take. How the Hell am I supposed to fill this out when I don’t know the tour dates yet??!! Mad Pissed Off Really Pissed Curse Thunder

    I guess I’ll just pick some random days in the fall and “borrow” from them. Sheesh!

  28. dcglam says:

    Good looks, killer charm, and one hell of a voice say a lot….

    BTW, I am loving the sound of the selected songs list. Can’t wait to have them in my grubby little hands!

  30. dcglam says:

    Check mail, Texas.

  31. Hey!!! How is everyone?!

    Is everyone excited for the Jay Leno and Ellen shows??? I’m so lucky that I get Thursday off for the Ellen show! and I can watch Leno without having to worry about not getting enough sleep for work Wink

    Loved the interviews from yesterday! Love hearing him say Sauli and his laugh. His laugh is so contagious!!! Now starts the BERTING all over again ladies and gents!!!

    And sometime soon we’ll get the BTIKM video! And Adam went back to the fanclub and posted a message! All is right in the world of a Glambert!! Listening to Music

  32. dcglam says:

    Hey glamberthaf28~
    Yep, we are all here flailing right along with you. How awesome is it that you will be home to watch Adam on Ellen — jealous here! My DVR will be set this weekend for both shows. Exciting week ahead, but I want MORE!!! Grin

  33. milwlovesadam says:

    Okay, been away for 48 hours, I listened to the Canada interview, but who has the link for Bryon Cooke?

  34. turquoisewaters says:

    Lucky you, glamberthaf28!
    I like to listen to the interview from this link, because it comes with that Grammy Adam picture. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOkccdCd1hI

    I haven’t seen it posted yet. I was wondering about it too because he made it seem like it would be posted right away — uncut.

  36. luval says:

    I don’t think there is a link yet for Cooke, is there?

  37. AL says:

    He’s still waiting for approval before he can post it.

    Byroncooke Byron Cooke
    @adamlambert as u guys would appreciate any audio I post from today is subject to label approval….stand-by for details

    we set it all up TV style…lights camera action \m/

  38. dcglam says:

    He kept saying it was coming SOON…..

  39. dcglam I know, when I found out that he was going to be on Ellen, I was like wait that’s a Thursday….WAIT THAT’S MY DAY OFF!! YESSSSSSSSSSS!!! lol

    So my mom, niece, and I have popcorn ready to pop and everything ready to watch Smile

    Loving that the promo and everything has begun! Now can’t wait for signings, more promo, and TOUR!!!

  40. milwlovesadam says:

    Talk about a big fat tease!!

    We’ve been in the desert for so long, I’m so thirsty, need a long tall drink to quench my Adam thirst….

    An interview. With video. Now please. ( Snaps finger for waiter to appear).

  41. AL says:

    And the latest tease update from Byron

    Byroncooke Byron Cooke
    @adamlambert video interview is in NYC currently & Im also waiting on management approval 4 audio broadcast dates thanx 4 your patience

  42. milwlovesadam says:

    Patience???

    Oh, Bryon, we have been so patient for sooooo long.

    On another note, my lovely AT&T Uverse tells me that Sherri Shepard will be on Leno with Adam. Fun!!! Those two in the green room, plotting and planning for Adam to take over the View!!! Woot!! Here’s hoping that Adam charms the pants off Sherri and gets her to go back to Babs and force her to book Adam again! This time live.

  43. dcglam says:

    I so want to see Adam on the View once again! And yes, this time LIVE!!!

  44. luval says:

    mils…do you know who’s on the Ellen show with Adam?

  45. AL says:

    Anybody need a Versace jacket? It’s your for $5750.00 and counting!

    http://www.charitybuzz.com/catalog_items/2919130

    Worn by a certain someone who signed it and added “All is love”!

  46. dcglam says:

    Speaking of promo opportunities, I just have to say….
    RCA is doing one heck of a job promoting Kelly Clarkson with this new album of hers. Sheesh — the gal has been scheduled for the X Factor, AMAs, SNL, Super Bowl, Grammy Awards, The Voice Mentor, and the list continues. My big hope is that RCA will be as kind and aggressive with Adam’s promo opportunities.

  47. luval says:

    dcglam I find it odd that Kelly is getting such a big push at this time. I change the station whenever Mr Know It All comes on. Was this a monster hit for her? Can’t remember the last show she sang on but all anyone talks about is the way she dresses. But I do like her as a person. Down to earth, honest, very sweet. Lucky for her after 10 years she still is relevant in the music industry. I guess who else does the industry have these days to do the shows you mentioned? LMFAO? Smile The pickin’s are slim out there. I do hope someday Adam will be considered too.

  48. milwlovesadam says:

    AL.

    Ahem. Does it come with the pants?

  49. milwlovesadam says:

    She sang it on SNL this past week. I personally really like the song, it has a great hook, and it’s kinda stuck in my head. She also sings her face off on it. I’m glad she’s getting so much attention.

    And, I also hope Adam is on a similar wave.

    Who knows, he could be singing anywhere from Grammy’s to Oscars!

    I just have a feeling he’s going to be on Idol, maybe the Voice, maybe one of the dance shows.

    I just want to see him on something fun and funny, like Fallon, Kimmel, Chelsea, Letterman.
