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!

    is anyone else thinking there will be no dancers on this tour?

  2. rainbowgal4 says:

    Perfect!!! Just perfect! It’s good to have him back. Now to watch it on my tv. Grin

  3. fwachdr says:

    No need for dancers…he is mesmerizing! There are no words…

  4. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Wow. That was so heartfelt and vulnerable. Did anyone else notice he was shaking? Of course, the end was money – loved how he took the mic off the stand and let go.

    The band was perfect – the keyboardist played great and sang beautiful harmony with Adam. And Ashley was so cute – any reason she was kneeling while playing, or is that just her style?

    Must. Watch. Again. (and again, and again, and again Grin )

  5. PlanetFierce says:

    LOVED HIS PERFORMANCE! LOVED HIS LOOK! HIS FREAKING VOICE IS JUST OFF THE HOOK! TALK ABOUT LIFTING THE VEIL..

  6. nkd says:

    Grammy nominated singer and songwriter!

    I would have liked more voice to come through, but he nailed it perfectly! O.M.G!

  7. loveroftalent says:

    There are no words to explain how much I love this man….

  8. nkd says:

    Someone on twitter said they thought Ashley’s strap broke and she was trying to fix it, but the bass was bigger than her!

  9. Ceddies says:

    Did anyone else notice he was shaking?

    Texas, I didn’t notice the shaking, but I did think one time that I saw the beginnings of tears in his eyes, but I’m not sure. It was certainly emotional and so heartfelt.

    There are no words to explain how much I love this man….

    THIS ^^^^^^

  10. rainbowgal4 says:

    Knowing Adam and how he tweaks things – this song live will only get better as they sing it in the coming weeks.

  11. Ceddies says:

    rainbowgal, I also want to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers too about the loss of your mother. It hurts, and I hope that tonight has helped you feel a little better for at least a little while.

  12. rainbowgal4 says:

    Ceddies I thought the same thing about the tear. It will be interesting to see what my big screen tv lets me see.

  13. rainbowgal4 says:

    Ceddies Thank you so much and I hope you are doing well after your loss. I have thought of you often and prayed that you were finding your strength.

  14. Kradamour says:

    yes, Texas, I saw the tremble and my heart just went out to him. He has so much hanging on this album…and this song clearly means so much to him…he needed validation from us, just like he did for OOL in Ste Agathe. It must be terrifying on some level to put a new song out there for us…and so so so exhilarating when we send the love back to him. Heart

    Ceddies, I was just trying to post that very comment, but it’s just not coming out right, lol. After reading the tweet from the audience member that it seemed that Adam was singing directly to Sauli during much of the performance, it seemed like it was extra sincere and personal for Adam tonight. That made it even more special.

  16. Ceddies says:
  17. Kradamour says:

    yawn. Off to bed now. Gotta get up early to check YouTube and download before it is pulled Frown
    g’nite peeps – no question that we will have sweet Adam dreams!

    (so good to see you, Ceddies!)

    eta YouTube ninjas are fast tonite! Smile

  18. HK fan says:

    I can’t believe I saw it….I just came back for an hour from work before having to go out again and came straight to the computer thinking a video might be up, and saw from Twitter he hadn’t been on and managed to get one of the streams to work….The ending was unbelievable. I was kind of too nervous to enjoy it as much as I should have, I need to see it again now so I can relax a bit more through it knowing he nailed it.

    And those tweets about Saulis reactions, so precious..

  19. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Guys, I’m saying goodnight as well. Sleepy I’ll be back in the a.m. to resume my flailing. So happy that he nailed it!!

  20. HK fan says:

    just watched it again (thanks for the link ceddies) wow that was fast. Its even better the 2nd time….

  21. turquoisewaters says:

    There were definitely a lot of emotions going on. First song of new album, new band members, the emotions of the song itself, a song that requires showing vulnerability as well as acrobatic singing, Sauli in the audience. Don’t know how he can stand the pressure, but he did it, and it was beautiful.

  22. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    One more thing – mj just opened the Adam/Leno thread! She’s very, very complimentary in her post and she included the new hawt photo!!!

  23. nkd says:

    Y’all look! Adam has an OOFTA tattoo too!

    …..and just watched it again!!!

  26. Kradamour says:

    Okay, had to stay a little bit longer, pulling a kradamour here (and who better? lol)…Adam just looks so CLEAN.
    Love love love the look.
    Can’t believe how young he looks.
    He always said he looked 12 years old without the makeup…not twelve, but a vulnerable youngish 20-something…
    Just the voice, no shenanigans…
    Organic, whole, clean, presented to us for our approval, not (this time) for our entertainment.

    And then he totally snapped out of it in a split second when Jay came over to shake his hand! Damn the boy is a consummate performer. Couldn’t love him more…

    A final g’nite, peeps!

  27. nkd says:

    I am still shaking! This song does something to me, and THAT performance was incredible! I can’t stop watching it!

  28. rainbowgal4 says:

    nkd I keep playing it over and over too. I really love this song. He should get a good bump in sales tonight and tomorrow.

  29. turquoisewaters says:

    I need to add: Not that this was a test, but Kevin Hastings passed with flying colors. Many at MJs have noticed the “new keyboard dude”, and how well he fits in. In fact I like the whole band. (I have to bite my tongue to not write “Monte who?” here.)

  30. sparkle says:

    Kradamour,

    That’s exactly what I was thinking when I watched this – how much younger and fresher he looked! Fantastic look and fantastic performance! Flawless! AFL is pitch perfect!

  31. nkd says:

    Hahaha! Laugh

    peacevehicle @peacevehicle
    I will find my Viking under the Northern Lights in a shady bar with a snow shovel in his hand. Raccoons & matching OOFTA tattoos will ensue

  32. nkd says:

    He was perfect!
    I love the band too! Kevin’s voice melded nicely with Adam’s.

    Now, what’s he gonna wear for Ellen? I say he goes back to the leather for her show. That’s a big stretch, I know! Wink

  33. rainbowgal4 says:

    Ok so I go to use my camera to record the song from my tv. A minute in my funny little bird decides to sing along. Then my 80 pound dog decides he needs to go out the front door. Gave up & went to my sun room to try on that tv. Again the dog wants to check the back yard (that’s his job). Finally I got it filmed. Tomorrow I will check the quality. I have a better camera I can try it on if this didn’t work. Such hoops I jump for Adam! LOL

  34. Teri63 says:

    Wow, how awesome was Adam?!! Loved his vocals, the band was amazing, and he looked sensational!

  35. rainbowgal4 says:

    As much as I loved all the glitter & glam that was last year I have to say I like this better. I feel he’s settling into the type of performer he wants to be. A new maturity. And I think he will appeal to a broader base.

  36. nkd says:
  37. rs says:

    Now THAT is the way to end this song! whew. Picking myself up from the floor.

  39. rainbowgal4 says:

    Nkd. Glad you posted the cover art. I was trying to get it posted but still have a lot to learn about this IPad.

  40. nkd says:

    rainbowgal, I’m not sure I could do it on an ipad either!
    I really have trouble when trying to copy and paste anything on my iphone. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t! Smile

    Dear Rainbowgal, so sorry to hear about your Mother. Glad you are back with us 29 year olds. Did you ever find The Aloha Quilt? I’m sure you would enjoy it. I am waitin for Adam to come on-(but I already watched the youtube!!) He is just so charming-handsome, and Talented!! We love our Adam!

  43. rainbowgal4 says:

    Cocoglam You know I forgot about that quilt. I will check it out tomorrow. Thank you for reminding me. Now I’m finally off to bed. Good Night all.

  44. luval says:

    Stayed up late…am here at work. So much to catch up on. Wolf hair, gorgeous clean (thanks kradamour)look. Stunning vocals, band looked and sounded great. OOFTA, and no pendant!

    I think he’ll have an edgier look on Ellen. And I feelhe will have dancers on the tour. Just like GN he’ll have them in the appropriate songs.

  45. glambotgram says:

    Sorry everyone I was exhausted and went to bed last night. Just watched on my computer. WOW WOW WOW I agree with everyone, Young looking,, skinny, amazing, band is incredible, He so totally nailed it..

    Cracks me up how he can’t leave a song alone, even for the premier performance. has to put his Adam spin on it.

    Gotta go to work will be back later.

  46. cwm says:

    I exercised monumental self-control and waited until the west coast broadcast so that the first time I’d see the performance would be on my big-screen tv, but with all of the flailing all around me, it was tough!

    That was an awesome performance, and I love it more with each viewing. His vocals were beautiful, the band sounded great, his embellishments were perfect, and he looked gorgeous. He seemed a little nervous at first, but he settled in quickly, and it just made him even more endearing anyway. And I wanted him to rip that mike away from the mike stand earlier in the song and free himself to move around more, but he did eventually. I loved the build up from the bridge to the end.

    I’m looking forward to seeing all of the variations in the way he performs this song as he continues to perform it – rolling around it in, breaking it in, and getting really comfortable in it. So it will be really fun to see what he does with it on Ellen on Thursday.

    And tomorrow we get the Leno backstage interview, perhaps a preview of Ellen, and maybe just maybe we’ll get that Byron Cooke interview soon too!

  47. adamized says:

    Hello Friends! Needed to drop in quickly and flail with everyone. Can’t read comments but have looked quickly at this one page and looks like folks really likey!!! I have to say until I saw the HD version I couldn’t get the impact of how absolutely great our boy did. A bit nervous, yes..but stunningly lovely and freaking assured by the end. Will only get better. I guess Ashley’s strap broke so she kneeled down with her guitar. Poor thing! Like Keven’s voice with Adam’s. Have to say it seemed odd not having Monte on the stage but things move forward.

    Working 12 hours a day and need to keep up that pace for a week or so more.

    Be back post Ellen.

    Hugs to all!

  48. luval says:

    Cwm, I too wanted him to rip that mic off the stand and move around a little. But SW Leno was similar. Making a strong statement by standing there.

  49. loveroftalent says:

    They took all the videos down…I never got a chance to watch over and over yet….

  50. glambotgram says:

    Ok I watched a few times this morning in full HD with the surround sound.
    AAAAMMMMAAAAZZZZIIIINNNNGGGG!!!!

    Hair–perfect
    Suit–perfect
    Vocals–better than perfect.

    The OOFTA tattoos must have been what they were trying to get the night the tattoo place was too busy for them.

    Everything about this performance was a WIN WIN.

    Hope Ellen is the same. Hoping for an interview.
