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!

    My imagination is running wild with the OOFTA tattoos also! Enough so that my thoughts may put me in the corner! Wink Grin

  2. luval says:

    Nkd, I thought he addressed Fingate in the Virgin radio interview. Over and done with. But I guess if they (Ellen) bring it up, then he has to address it. Over and over and over again.until they stop asking. (Ellen!!!!!).

    Yeah, guess you’re right. With the promo starting it will be brought up so I better get used to it. Grrrrrrrrrr

    I got this one….. Wink

    Not a suit and tie. Jacket and jeans! And boots!

    Ha, maybe it is nighttime wear vs. daytime. Wink

  5. nkd says:

    luval, he addressed Fingate very well in the radio interview, but this will hit a larger audience. Hopefully, it will be over and done soon after Ellen! Let’s hope!

  6. luval says:

    I’m hoping, nkd. btw I only see OOFTA…a bunch of letters strung together. What do you see if I may ask? Smile

  7. nkd says:

    I only see OOFTA too! Wink
    I was just imagining how oofta may have been used, if it is so personal between the two of them that they would get matching tattoos! Blush
    This could turn into an Adam/Sauli fic if I explained anymore!!!!

    This is one time I’m personally happy he’s being questioned about something personal; it gives him another chance to speak out in his defense. Thanks to scummy claims like those made by ph, he needs to get it out there that he’s not a partner-beater. Just two days ago on Twitter, I was totally pissed when someone made a nasty comment in response to Adam’s notice that the BTIKM video would be available soon; the troll said something like, “better abuser?” I’m glad he’s getting to ‘splain himself to such a supportive person like Ellen.

  9. Ron says:

    Hi!

    Here’s what’s being bandied about in Toronto regarding the tattoos.

    In Finnish it means wait.

    It’s also an acronym for Out Of The Ashes and the fact that they both got it after the the incident in Finland and they felt like they wanted to stop partying and be healthy after that ec. – maybe that is it. It would make sense and be a reminder of what happened and what to work for towards the future.

    I don’t have an opinion because I don’t care. Grin

  10. cwm says:

    From the tweets it sounds like Adam’s performance on Ellen went great, so YAY! And YAY also that Sauli gets talked about, pointed out, and shown on screen!

    Talking about the Fingate incident with Ellen is a great way to address it because she’s very sympathetic to him, she’ll deal with him gently, supportively, and humorously about it, he will be able to directly address the issue and de-bunk the myths and mischaracterizations in his own words (like in the radio interview), AND they showed beautiful happy Sauli in the audience (!). And this show will have a much much larger audience than that radio interview. The audience for that radio interview didn’t begin to touch all of the people that heard about the incident through the media.

    I can’t wait to see the show tomorrow!

  11. nkd says:

    I agree Teri63. Adam’s story of the events needs to be heard.

  12. cwm says:

    Well it’s obvious that OOFTA has more meaning to the boys than we originally thought, eh? I don’t think it’s just about being tired or surprised anymore! LOL I love speculating on what it might mean. Razz

    Ron – thanks for sharing those theories. Interesting possibilities…

    nekkid – I’d love to hear your theory!!

  13. nkd says:

    More tweets from fans at the Ellen taping:

    mirabooks Mira
    He kicked ass!

    mirabooks Mira
    Adam sounded amazing and looked like a god. Wait he is a god!

  16. nkd says:

    After reading the reviews from Dean Piper and Byron Cooke, and listening to Polly go on about the songs, I am super excited for this album. I know I will love the dance tunes, but I am waiting for those perhaps quieter tunes where his voice is the focus. Underneath, Outlaws of Love, Broken English.
    I just love when his voice is tender and a little breathy. It’s just so sensual and sexy!

  17. HK fan says:

    Although not the clearest of pictures so far, I think I’m preferring the look for the Ellen show, I like him a bit more edgy and casual.
    Does anyone know roughly what time Ellen’s on in HK time, hoping to catch a livestream again?
    I like the out of the ashes as a possible meaning for the oofta tattoos, makes it very meaningful and personal.

  18. JOJOSIE says:

    Yah, my wish came true as there are reports that they show Sauli in the audience. If it was going to happen, Ellen would be the one to do it. Yah again. Big Smile In Love

  19. cwm says:

    mmb over at MJs commented about Adam’s response to the lawsuit. This is what she says (assuming mmb is female):

    mmb
    Re the lawsuit. He isn’t countersuing. He just answered the complaint. Very standard. I would still expect the case to be settled eventually or dismissed on a motion. No way does Adam take this to trial ( not because his defenses aren’t good or that he wouldnt win – just because it would be a huge circus and diversion, the amounts at issue arent that big, and the horse has already left the barn as it were with BfM). But I suppose stranger things have happened ( Rosie and Oprah took cases to trial)

    Ashetalia Staatz in reply to mmb
    Isn’t he asking for a jury trial at the end? Is that routine?

    mmb in reply to Ashetalia Staatz
    Yes. You have to ask for a jury trial or you waive your right to one. Standard practice.

    kradamour – I’m interested in your thoughts as well!

  20. Kradamour says:

    Hi, cwm. Yes, I would agree with mmb on all points. Well stated, IMO.
    Assuming that Adam’s success will continue, this won’t be the last time that Adam finds himself at one end or the other of a lawsuit. As we have seen, success is often viewed as an opportunity for someone else to benefit vicariously from that success. There are a lot of bottom-feeders out there. Frown

  21. nkd says:

    HK fan…Ellen is syndicated, so it will be airing at different times everywhere.
    It’s on at 2pm CT on my local channel.

  22. cwm says:

    Here is (yet another!) very favorable post about Adam’s Leno performance of BTIKM – from NewNowNext. They inexplicably get the title of the single totally wrong, but at least the right sentiment is there LOL Smile

    HKFAN Ellen is on here at 10am Eastern Time Zone. I think that is the earliest it will be on.

  24. cwm says:

    More deets on the Ellen appearance…

    yogadominatrix JanusJanis
    Adam waved to Sauli when he was talking to Ellen he talked album and Finland incident and healthier lifestyle

  25. eywflyer says:

    Nice little Adam mention in a Billboard article linked from the Evening Edition Headlines thread on MJs:

    In show after show we see artists whose futures are easily predictable. It has felt like several season of buskers finishing in the top two of “Idol” and, not surprisingly, six of the last 10 top twos have been dropped from their album deals after a single release. Beyond Adam Lambert, they all seem outdated.

    http://www.billboard.com/news/will-idol-and-the-voice-ever-produce-new-1005909552.story#/news/will-idol-and-the-voice-ever-produce-new-1005909552.story

    Cool to see even an article which is presenting an overall negative view of Idols put Adam in a different category.

    Q102 will be doing an interview with Adam tomorrow evening.

  27. glambotgram says:

    nkd LOL that dorky guy in those pictures bears no resemblance to the Hot guy on my TV last night.

  28. nkd says:

    LOL glambotgram!
    Now, you gotta love all sides of him! Hot sexy singer and dorky shorts wearing dude! Laugh

    And I’m totally jealous that you get to see him in the morning!
    I’m going to resist temptaion looking at any vids that might come out early and wait to see him on my tv.

    Times for Ellen.

    Oh believe me I do love all sides of him, It just amazes me how I can enjoy those pics as much as last nights. Just makes me smile.

    I hope I do get to see him at 10:00 I have to be back to work at 10:45 so I may have to watch it on the dvr later. Hopefully he is on early.

  31. Kradamour says:

    oh, nekkid, thank you for the jogging photos! They keep it real…wonderfully dorky Adam with the worst jogging form I have seen for a long time…he looks like he is working way too hard at trying to figure out what to do…and wearing clothes that were purchased in a size such that both he and Sauli could wear them at the same time lol!
    But (okay, this is WAY too shallow, and I’ll just head right into the corner, no need to send me there) it is impossible not to notice that even the oversized shorts can’t hide the oversized, um, well I’ll just leave now see you guys later… Blush

    Oh boy, I’ve been able to resist the other pendants so far, but this one’s gonna be mine! Thanks for sharing this and all the other goodies you bring to us, nkd. Big Smile

    LOL that dorky guy in those pictures bears no resemblance to the Hot guy on my TV last night.

    glambotgram, I was thinking the same thing!

  33. rainbowgal4 says:

    texasI was thinking about ordering the key but two things made me slow down. One I’m holding out to see what Adam does with his birthday. I’d rather donate my money & I want to see what penny royal does with him. Now please know I will probably change my mind by tomorrow. I do like the design and the symbolism behind it. Decisions, decisions! Big Frown

  34. nkd says:

    Here’s a gif with all the jogging pics put together. It looks like he’s running, and if they had taken a few more shots, I think them there dorky shorts may have fallen off! Wink Laugh

    Nkd. I thank you so much for all the time, talent and humor you bring to this blog. How you find the items you post here just baffles me. You certainly make our time here very colorful. You are appreciated!

    I think the “um”, may have kept the shorts from falling off! Wink

  38. nkd says:

    Aww thank you rainbowgal! Kiss
    I need a life!

    I’m glad my mom’s ordeal has settled this week so I have had the time when things are taking off with Adam. She got horribly sick for 3 days after getting home from the hospital after knee surgery, but is now finally on the mend.

  39. nkd says:

    Someone made this from the pic Adam tweeted last night.

    So pretty!

    Aha! News from Byron Cooke re: when he will post his interview with Adam:

    Byroncooke Byron Cooke
    @Jenn_Skinner wil release my interview when the video for #btikm is released (my instructions!)

    Can’t wait!

  41. nkd says:

    Byron Cooke @Byroncooke
    @Jenn_Skinner wil release my interview when the video for #btikm is released (my instructions!)

    So we wait for this too!

    OK cwm…you beat me this time!

  42. cwm says:

    Haha nekkid! Woohoo! I knew I had to move quickly in order to do so!

    OMG this so reminds me of Adam’s international promo tour in Spring of 2010 – smeggs and I would race with each other to see who could post stuff that popped up on twitter onto MJs the fastest. And here I still am 2 years later… LOL

    Hi rainbowgal, I always think about you and wish you are here more often. You have all our love and support here. My thoughts and prayers are always with you, your Mom, and your other half.

    LOL Sauli’s new blogpost addresses the “engagement” rumors. Must be crazy to live and love under the spotlight, with the Finnish media hanging on his every word, every move, and every change, however small and seemingly insignificant. I appreciate and admire how down-to-earth Sauli seems to stay.

    original: http://www.saulikoskinen.net/2012/01/omg/

    translated: http://www.adamtopia.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=sauli&thread=631&page=1#145646

    He also talked about it with Katri in the most recent Tutka video and tweeted out the English tranlation at Adamtopia:

    http://www.adamtopia.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=sauli&thread=630&page=1#145663

    In this video he also confirms the OOFTA tattoo but coyly declines to say anything more about what it means.

    Suz526 did such a nice interview about being at the Leno performance. True fangirl, giggles and all!! Grin
    Press the arrow on the radio link at the right side and she starts about 15 mins into the show. Cool details. Kiss

  47. luval says:

    Hi cher!
    Are you up early or up late? Lol

    Will listen to suz526 when I get home later. And I too am going to resist watching Adam until 4pm my time.

  48. asifclueless says:

    Thanks cwm and cher for the goodies. Fun!! Fun!! Fun!!

    Love and LOL how dorky Adam is in his jogging attire and his jogging form, in contrast with muscular and fit attired Sauli in the background.
    And Adam’s Fans are so talented, humourous, fast and furious.
    This fan video of Adam’s jogging is hilarious.

    Adam Fired Up !

    Enjoy !!!

    Love and LOL how dorky Adam is in his jogging attire and his jogging form, in contrast with muscular and fit attired Sauli in the background.

    Haha, so true!! But some of his jogging form issues may stem from the fact that he kept having to “hang on” to his shorts – they look entirely too big for him, as nkd pointed out! Sauli does look really awesome in his fitted black attire, though. Once again, it seems like Adam can’t see himself as he IS rather than how he WAS. Can you just picture him in the tank/shorts and cuter shoes like Sauli’s wearing? Plus he needs no-show socks to finish the look, lol. Cool

    Here I am, still basking in the glow of the Leno performance and the fact that soon, I will be the proud owner of a BA skull key pendant (yay!!), and I almost forgot that we have the Ellen show today! The pics from the show that were posted were taken so far away, but I’m hoping those jeans he appears to be wearing aren’t too baggy … I need to see those runner’s legs, haha.

  50. Ron says:

    Good Morning!

    I just looked up The Ellen Show on my on screen TV Guide wondering of course when I can see it.

    I have a “few” opportunities:

    9:00am, 1:00pm, 2:00pm, 3:00pm, 4:00pm, 5:00pm, 6:00pm and last, but not least, 7:00pm. Big Smile

    20 minutes until the first airing here. Big Smile
