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!

    The other thing that makes me laugh is his telling us to set out DVR’s and Tivo’s. Oh my. I don’t think he knows us at all!! No commands necessary from the great leader. We’ve all been programmed for quite a while now!!

    Hey kids!! Step away from the remote!! Don’t even think about re-programming on mama’s watch!!

    Hahaha. Finnish Yiddish!!

  3. luval says:

    Maybe he’s still afraid if he doesn’t remind us of things that we truly will not do it! This may never change.

    mils, sorry about the Packers.

    eta: Went to splinterkey.com Kevin’s website. A little video recorded a couple of weeks ago. One New Year’s resolution for them (Vanity Machine…his band) was to “dominate more stages”. Wonder what will happen to the band? My guess is stay with them, play Adam gigs as they come up and then eventually tour of course. Smile

    Hope the @FAULTMagazine video of @adamlambert’s shoot is every bit as AWESOME as VMan’s “Man In A Box” by Mark Abrahams bit.ly/v0daNf

    @FAULTMagazine FAULT Magazine
    @voodoo_childe Um, how do we put this delicately? It will be better than that. Seriously, much better.

    Haha you beat me to it, jlurk! Chunkey is brilliant. Her open letter to Kevin just cracks my sh*t up.

  7. luval says:

    Do you think someone will tweet it to Kevin?

  8. dcglam says:

    Couple of thoughts about the addition of Kevin Hastings….

    I would think that using Monte as both the lead guitarist and musical director proved to be economical for Adam’s first tour. Adam should be a bit “richer” this time around, so it would make sense for him to be able to hire a separate musical director who could fill in for Cam whenever necessary. Isn’t she part of another band anyway??? I’m thinking that maybe this is all part of the plan. She may not be committing to Adam 100% — Of course, I know NOTHING and am just speculating. Ha, I think I need to get myself a Twitter account so I can ask Adam all these questions during his next Twitter party. I’m sure he can’t wait to answer them all for me….. WinkLOL

  9. JOJOSIE says:

    I don’t think anyone as talented and into keyboards as much as Kevin appears to be will not be playing. Most artist I followed (well only a few) the music director always played and was more or less the lead musician like Monte was. Maybe Cam has decided to do more work on her own or they may have two keyboards. We’ll all see tomorrow night. I’m staying up late and watching after all it’s Adam.

  10. riskylady says:

    Just jumping in to say, how do we know Adam was saying “oy” and not OYE, a Spanish word (may also be Portuguese) which means, “Hey” or “Listen!” Very common slang word in Europe, and probably California, and Florida too.
    Jojosie, agree that Kevin will probably play. He does say, “Watch us play tomorrow,” after all.

    I’m team “much ado about nothing” on Twitter. Cannot believe how people lately jump all over Adam and feel they have the right and moral obligation to tell him what to do, say and how to live his life.
    What happened to “Adam, never change.” Question Question Question

  11. JOJOSIE says:

    Adam is pictured on MSN’s front page. It’s about ” Past Idol Stars and where are they now?” I love seeing Adam and “Star” in the same place.

  12. dcglam says:

    Ha, gotta love the pic on the right side of today’s MSN home page. It just jumped out at me….. LOL!

    Same place, same time, JOJOSIE! Wink

    Kevin said on twitter that he will be playing keyboards and singing.

    I wonder how Cam is fitting into all of this. Maybe Twitter peeps will find out….. Wink

  16. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    In a little over 24 hours, we’ll all be spellbound watching Adam give his first live performance of BTIKM on Leno!! And a new addition to the band – I can’t wait to see and hear them all.

    It’s been so long since we had new “Adam” music to enjoy – I almost feel like this performance is a mirage – we’ve been thirsting for so long, not sure I can trust my senses, lol! Sweat

  17. cwm says:

    OMG, this is so funny I can hardly stand it. Someone tweeted Kevin the New Guy the “Open Letter” at the Home Planet and he read it.

    MariaPF22 M. MacDonald
    @kevmokeys thought this might help introduce the fandom to you :thehomeplanet.org/2012/01/an-ope…

    @kevmokeys Kevin Hastings
    @MariaPF22 hahahaha y’all are funny!

  18. HK fan says:

    Can’t say I’ll miss Cam if she’s not there, she isn’t very dynamic, I never even notice her normally, she’s always in the background with her hair over her face, I don’t think I’ve ever even heard her speak. Looking foward to seeing the video of tomorrows performance, and if I’m honest I will admit to being a little bit nervous, I just want him to do so well and make lots of people go out and buy it!!

  19. cwm says:

    I almost feel like this performance is a mirage – we’ve been thirsting for so long, not sure I can trust my senses, lol!

    I know what you mean Texas. Hard to believe that we’re actually going to see a live performance of new music tomorrow. It’s about time! Era 2 begins!

    Also, there will be two new band members, not just one — Adam will also have Ashley on the bass.

  20. k_in_cal says:

    If anyone emailed me about going to Leno tomorrow and possibly meeting up, please email me again. Somehow I lost a bunch of emails Frown

    Isn’t that the photo from his apartment?

    Yikes, I have to spend the day thinking how I’m gonna stay awake tonight and still get up at 5am! Nap later, I guess. Isn’t Leno the one which took off his performance of Sleepwalker almost immediately from YouTube? Guess I better DVR it.

  24. glambotgram says:

    Tonights the night
    It’s gonna be alright
    Cause I love you girl “all”
    Ain’t nobody gonna stop us now

    It begins!!!

  25. dcglam says:

    And to think we haven’t even begun talking about the clothes and hair, yet — two of life’s Adam’s little mysteries! Wink
    Have a good day, all!

  26. luval says:

    I hope there’s hair! Smile

  27. loveroftalent says:

    I hope there’s hair!

    Same…I want it down and soft looking…
    @HK fan…I’m nervous too…I will not be watching it live, but will utube it after I read the comments from other people…I want him to do so well and blow us all away….

    Hi Guys….I missed you all very much.

    My computer crashed and then the internet was down, the server was under construction and my modem wasn’t working.

    I’ll try to catch up and post some.
    Might be a post ho tonight cause my connection is still in the situation. I may not be able to log in later. What a bummer!!!

    Anywho…missed you guys.

  30. glambotgram says:

    I followed a link from the Home Planet and ended up at the On the Meaning of Adam Lambert” site( I try to avoid that site as these women are clearly in Monte’s camp and try to justify it with much drivel IMO)

    But found this:

    ADAM AS FREDDIE

    So shoot us. These photos appeared on Eric Mayron’s Facebook album

    Disgusted that these showed up on the bastard album guy’s site and are being circulated from there. I want that guy and all his cronies far far away from Adam. I was a little apprehensive when I saw that the guy who tweeted them out was playing with Monte and there were a lot of tweets between the two of them.

    ETA While I did not hold Monte responsible for release of albums or was I even really upset with him, once the lawsuit happened and he did not backtrack and get out of the situation I feel he is as guilty of backstabbing as the rest. OK rant over

  31. luval says:

    I love to see Adam look EXACTLY like his pic on the single. Gorgeous.

  32. asifclueless says:

    To all the ladies and gentlemen who are going to Jay Leno tonight …
    Have an ADAMAZING time!!!!!
    Please scream, flail and squee for us too.
    Then report. please.
    And how is Sauli in fresh?
    Soooo…jealous of you guys.

    Good find … glambotgram.
    I read that this guy tweeted FM photos out cause he was trying to raise money for his SECOND kickstarts.

    Some dude!!!!!

  34. sparkle says:

    Hi everyone! Sorry to hear about all your computer woes, as if. Soooo who’s excited for tonight! Me!!!! I know he’s gonna be fabulous, maybe even better than last time on Leno!

  35. asifclueless says:

    I’m really excited about this new guy, Kevin Hastings.
    He has a very impressive resume. Wow ..classical and Jazzy trained. He had played with big and popular names.
    Kevin must be quite expensive to hire instead of Adam’s friends. I guess RCA has good faith in Adam.

    I’m so excited for tonight. Even though, I’ll have to watch it from YouTube.

  41. little dutchess says:

    why am I the only one who, while very excited, is very nervous about tonite’s performance? BTIKM is a great song BUT it is not an easy song: MANY COMPLEX LAYERS, A LOT OF WORDS, AND SOME RATHER DIFFICULT PHRASING. And that’s just for the lyrics! The music is also rather complex and layered…different drum beats for different sections etc. And new band members. Now what could go wrong? The first time it’s being done live! Now we know Adam can almost walk on water but…
    I so badly want this to be the beginning of the biggest success for Adam and I’m just a bit nervous. Not meaning to be a Debbie Downer, just a nervous mama hen.

  42. glambotgram says:

    little duchess I understand your feelings but if there is anyone out there up to the task it is Adam. He knows how important this performance is and I am sure there have been many many practices.

    I am just excited to see how well he is going to do, and what his hair will look like, what he will be wearing, replaying it many times and watching the spike in BTIKM numbers.

  43. cwm says:

    I understand your nerves, little dutchess. I’m just a titch nervous too. BUT it is important to remember that Leno is not broadcast live. It is pre-taped at about 5:00pm-ish Pacific time and is not broadcast until 8:30pm Pacific (for the east coast). So there is time for a re-do if the first take doesn’t work out for whatever reason. Smile

    Same will apply to Ellen too. I remember when Adam appeared on Oprah he redid one of the songs he performed because he wasn’t satisfied with the first one.

  44. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    why am I the only one who, while very excited, is very nervous about tonite’s performance?

    I’m sure you’re not the only one. Suspense I agree – a first performance – on national television – with two new bandmates – OYE!!!! But we all know what an experienced professional he is – and we know that this first performance will be the foundation for subsequent versions; small changes in phrasing, adding a beautiful falsetto note when least expected, throwing in exquisite vocal runs, etc. The journey will be so much fun to witness and discuss!

    asif, you’ve been missed! So sorry you’ve had computer problems. I’m bracing myself to take my sick laptop in for “an estimate”, lol. I say bracing because I have a laptop with a large screen, and the screensaver is … you guessed it!

    Can’t say I’ll miss Cam if she’s not there, she isn’t very dynamic, I never even notice her normally, she’s always in the background with her hair over her face, I don’t think I’ve ever even heard her speak.

    HKfan, I agree with you. Although Cam is a very capable keyboardist, she just doesn’t seem to embrace the flambuoyant, gregarious stage persona that some of the others have. Maybe she’s still busy with UhHuh. I really liked the previous girl, Lisa.

    I hope there’s hair!

    Good one, luval!

  45. sparkle says:

    And remember – this is the man that performed Ring of Fire on American Idol. Of course I’m a bit nervous too – that’s part of being excited!!!

  46. luval says:

    Little dutchess…thanks for saying what I thought. I’m very nervous but I’ll bet he’s not.

    And I think he’ll be taping Ellen tomorrow for broadcast on Thursday.

  47. little dutchess says:

    Thanks everyone for all the positives! I know all this and think it too but sometimes the negatives can just overwhelm. Thanks for the support; I just had to get it OUT with peeps who would understand!

  48. asifclueless says:

    Thanks ….TexasWannaHoldEm.
    The computer problems were my traumic experience because it was near the crucial time. Adam’s Time.
    LOL with picturing you bracing your laptop because of “YOU KNOW WHAT”

    I didn’t have time to hide anything and I just right clicked and saved Neil’s faucet (the P**** shape) before the crash.
    May be that’s why!!!!

  49. asifclueless says:

    I won’t see the Tonight Show on my TV but people who do … don’t miss the beginning of the show when Leno comes out to shake hands with the audience.
    You may get a glimpse of Sauli, the glamberts, and may be Leila (if she goes).

    Hope somebody film this too.
    I’m so excited!!!!!!!

    I’m thinking …. What about …while Leno is introducing Adam, he is showing a clip of BTIKM Music video too.
    It would be awesome !!!!

    I’m listening and waiting for Adam’s interview with Polly to air on ZMonline. The program is on the air now for another 3.5 hrs.
