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!

    Wow, nkd!! What a terrific review by EQ!! Two months away seems like an eternity.

  2. cwm says:

    The anticipation was worth it though.

    Absolutely!

  3. Ron says:

    I think you have one hell of a lawsuit there, cwm!! Big Smile Very sorry this didn’t happen for you! Feel free to wash your phone now. Wink

    cwm: As I was reading this page from the top down, I just had a vicarious heart-attack and then a vicarious awww-dang-it moment. So close!

  5. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    So sorry, cwm! But just think: All those nerves and jitters had to burn off some calories! I think you should treat yourself to something wonderful, like a White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks (and NOT the skinny version, either!!). Coffee

  6. luval says:

    Thank you nkd. I will be positive!!!

    And crap, I listened to Ellen interview & video. Couldn’t wait another half hour. But he DID grimace when Ellen asked if she could talk to him about Finland. He answered it perfectly…just like the radio interview. Loved little Sauli in the audience & the picture of Sauli & Neil.

  7. nkd says:

    I’m watching Ellen now. I did not peek at any of the clips!
    Did I say how much I love Rob Lowe? Been in love since St. Elmo’s Fire! Gotta love the bad boys! Grin

    Excited for Adam! Yay! Terrance was so awesome dancing in the aisle!

    Adam Lambert Performs ‘Better Than I Know Myself’

    from Ellen YouTube channel, available at 720p HD

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvV6eOHwhuQ&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

    A lot better quality. At the end it seems like there are tears in his eyes.
    Also it’s good to give Ellen YT Channel some hits.

    INCREDIBLE!!!! In Love
    Now to watch the interview segment!

  10. luval says:

    I love his glittery rings!

  12. asifclueless says:

    Awww … shoot…dang it….cwm. So close.
    Sorry, but Adam may have your name and #, and he’ll call you personally. Have your questions ready by the phone. Grin

    Now off to read the EQ Review.

  13. nkd says:

    I’ve watched this performance a few times now. I gotta say, I love this band. I was getting all into Isaac on the drums, dang! And I really like Kevin and Ashley. I am anxious to hear Tommy on guitar in a more guitar driven song to see how he does. Not missing Monte.

  14. HK fan says:

    Just saw the performanace video, wow, Its even better than the Leno one, amazing…
    is there a link anywhere for the talking part??

  15. asifclueless says:

    Adam explained what OOFTA means?

    I still like nkd‘s speculating naughty meaning, though. Grin

  16. HK fan says:

    aww cwm I just read back on the posts I’d missed, and I felt so excited for you, my heart actually skipped a beat, then just a couple of minutes later, the disappointment…so near and yet so far.

    Did Ellen only ask Adam one question or is there a bit of the intervire missing??

  17. dcglam says:

    Try this, HK fan

    I’m always late to the party, especially when the partying takes place on a work day. I am so sorry for your huge disappointment today, cwm! You had a great question to which I would have loved to hear the answer. I would have also loved to maybe hear your voice on the radio. How cool that would have been! Hey, feel honored that you came soooooo close! We are very proud of you…… Yes

  20. dcglam says:

    Wow, I so much enjoyed watching Ellen this evening on my TV!!
    Although both Leno’s and Ellen’s performances were vocally out of this world, I totally feel that Adam seemed more relaxed for the Ellen performance than for the Leno one.

    I have to admit that Ellen has a special way about her that makes Adam very comfortable. I love the way Adam seemed at ease with talking about his relationship with Sauli on nationwide TV. IMO this was not an easy thing to do, but Ellen has a way of making it second nature to her guests. I give Ellen huge kudos here!

    From the homeplanet…picture of Adam from the video (from justjared)

  22. cwm says:

    Awwww thank you all for your very kind condolences on my not-meant-to-be phone chat with Adam this morning!

    (Sorry I disappeared for a while; I had to attend to work duties. What? Work duties?? LOL)

    It was very disappointing when it fell through, for sure. I would have LOVED to have had a quick phone chat with Adam. But honestly it all happened so fast, it seemed rather unreal anyway. Sooooooo close, but yet so far.

    Adam may have your name and #, and he’ll call you personally. Have your questions ready by the phone.

    I LOVE this idea! I’m standing by, at the ready, anytime. Hey Adam, give me a call! I wanna ask you somethin’!

    I still like nkd‘s speculating naughty meaning, though.

    “inside joke between Adam and Sauli” and “I am overwhelmed” still leaves many corner-worthy interpretations on the table.

  24. turquoisewaters says:

    Hi Baby! They could seriously not be any cuter. I love how Sauli was surrounded by Terrence and Neil, as if to show the support from friends and family.

  25. nkd says:

    “inside joke between Adam and Sauli” and “I am overwhelmed” still leaves many corner-worthy interpretations on the table.

    Absolutely! I had the jist of what the word meant, it was just how it may have been used in order to become an inside joke between the two of them!!! I’m perfectly happy letting Adam and Sauli have their personal meaning, and I’ll keep my imagined one! Wink

  26. cwm says:

    I missed the interview with Maxwell’s House where Adam talks about the meaning of OOFTA. Is there a audio recording somewhere? The Q102 site that I’ve seen links to just refers to the interview, but I can’t find an audio of it.

    What did Maxwell ask him, and what exactly did Adam say?

    They could seriously not be any cuter.

    I couldn’t agree more, turquoisewaters. Hotness, cuteness, adorableness overload. OOFTA.

  27. nkd says:

    Hans Haveron @HansHaveron
    only 7 skeleton keys left ! thank you art lovers!

    Hans Haveron @HansHaveron
    @HansHaveron This is just the first presales edition..the silver key is being made and released soon!! I wear mine daily and love it! Smile

    Yay! I want a silver one!

  28. nkd says:

    cwm…on the link above posted by asif, there is a black audio box on the page under A Chat with Adam…

    I think the interview is playing tonight on Maxwell’s show perhaps starting at 8 ET.

  29. nkd says:

    More natural colored version of the video still.

  30. Calgary says:

    I can’t believe it – I was watching the clock, ready to go and watch Ellen when Adam was on. In the meantime I was killing time making dinner and listening to Suz526 on On the Meaning of Adam Lambert and…yup, I missed Adam on Ellen. OWWWWWWWWWW. So I watched on of the YT downloads and had this thought. I wonder if… Adam sings best when he has an audience?
    I’m not crazy about the iTunes version of BTIKM, but I kind of liked it on Leno, and today I LOVED it on Ellen. So now I’m back to begging for help in finding mp3s of shows so I can listen to my fav. versions.

  31. nkd says:

    Q102 listen live. Maxwell says first part of interview to air at about 8:10 ET.

  33. milwlovesadam says:

    Ooooh. That big cushy sweater looks so hug-worthy. In my (sick twisted) mind, that’s the sweater he got from Sauli’s family at the holidays.

    Watched Ellen. So wonderful. Loved seeing Leila, Terrance, Sauli and Neil all together. The band was wonderful. The voice? Spectacular.

    CWM. Awwwww. I could feel your excitement jumping out of my screen at me. I give you credit for holding it all together. I woulda been crying and upset.

  34. milwlovesadam says:

    Do we have a link yet for the KIIS interview?

  35. loveroftalent says:

    BTIKM has gotten a nice bump on itunes..It is at 263 right now and the west coast has not finished airing yet…I knew there would ne an itune bump, but this is great….Noone can sell a song like Adam singing live….

    @Calgary…I know what you mean…I wish Adam could have live recordings of all his songs….

  36. nkd says:

    mils the Q102 interview is about to air.

    Calgary I’ll probably be in Calgary next weekend – and I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that’s where you live Wink – and would love to see if we can find a time to meet. Please e-mail me at allettieb at gmail dot com.

  38. dcglam says:

    OT here just for a moment….
    Is anyone here watching American Idol??? OMG — This show seems to be going downhill so quickly. In my opinion, the judges are praising and sending through a lot of inferior talent this season. These peeps will not last long once the American public begins to vote. Yikes!!!

  39. luval says:

    dcglam…I’m watching…I keep waiting for someone to sing WWFM. The “planking” people were embarrassing.

    I still like Idol over the Voice and X-Factor. America’s Got Talent is my favorite after Idol.

  40. nkd says:

    In the Q102 interview, Adam discussed the video a little.

    It will surprise people.
    Exploring the light and dark side.
    Duality.

    Light Adam vs dark Adam!
    or hot Adam vs dork Adam! Laugh

    Stay at home in a cozy sweater Adam vs singing with Queen in Gareth Pugh coat Adam!

  41. luval says:

    nkd…thanks for that…I turned it off when they kept interrupting Adam with other music! But I did hear BTIKM right at the beginning. Really can’t wait for the video now.

    mils…you could be right about the cardigan. That would be a hoot if it was the present. Although when I think about a sweater from Finland I think about reds and greens and reindeer motifs. Smile

  42. glambotgram says:

    I watched last nights idol this morning and will watch tonight’s later so I can FF through all the fluff and sob stories. I just want to see the singers. ITA, some of the ones they put through sounded really bad, at least from my TV

    Loved Adam on Ellen today but I still really love the suit from Leno and the vulnerable performance. He was more at ease today. My DH said “did you watch Adam yet?”, when he came home. I had just got it started so he said put the surround sound on. lol He thought it sounded much better on Ellen today.

    Can’t say it enough, I LOVE the Band…

    Sauli and Adam soo sweet today and Hot Hot Terrence Cool I expected Adam to say, yeah he is/was one of my tour dancers when Ellen pointed out that Sauli was sitting next to the dancer. He may have said something later.

    I would like to see more promo, seems like he is just getting started and is going overseas.

    From my TV, too, glambotgram and luval. For the most part, I felt that tonight’s choices (as a whole) were worse than last night’s.
    There were a few good ones. Smile

  44. luval says:

    The blonde girl on last was great! Had a Debbie Harry vibe to her. But no one…absolutely no one is anywhere near Adam…or has that “it” factor. I really don’t think we’ll ever ever see that again on ANY of these reality singing shows. One in a hundred million as Roger Taylor said.

  45. nkd says:

    All of Adam’s Leno performances in one place!
    http://adamperformances.blogspot.com/search/label/Leno

    Adam’s look Tuesday on Leno was unfy, except I didn’t like the hair, it looked fried, but nothing beats those zebra pants! I hope he throws a little sparkly in every now and then.

    Also included in these performances is the Wicked cast including Adam.

    I agree that she was probably one of the best so far, luval.
    I really think that is my problem. After stanning the great one for 3 years, my expectations are way out of wack. There is absolutely no comparison, so in my mind they are all inferior. I’m probably not being fair to them.

  47. Kradamour says:

    Whoa…been gone all day…finally home to share the awesomeness!

    First cwm, congratulations on the excitement! OMG you had an awesome experience, so glad that you had this blog to squee and share! How many people can say they heard Adam talking on the other end of their phone line? Direct link to amazingness! Yes

    Ellen interview, wonderful as always, they seem to have such rapport. Adam tripped on the word “gay” relationship…still some reticence there, but on Ellen he seemed to be very comfortable talking – loved the Hi, Baby! to Sauli in the audience. Speaking of, Sauli was so so so hot and gorgeous! He is looking older and more mature while Adam is looking younger…it really is true that couples start to look alike lol!

    The performance…okay, NOW I like love the song! Someone posted above that Adam needs an audience – a lot of us have posted that from time to time…he really does. Loved the Leno performance but not the song yet – an almost hesitant performance, a little nervous about finally giving us the gift he has been preparing for us for so long, vulnerable…
    but today, surrounded by glamberts and family, in an intimate venue, having already performed on Leno, he is confident and can do real justice to the song and feels free to give us the totality of what he prepared for us. Loved the performance, finally love the song, and love the man to death. Sweet sigh of contentment.

    Jogging gif/vid…OMG so wonderful! Yes, Adam in oversized basketball shorts very self-consciously running…could not possibly love him more. And it is this dorky and wonderful combination of STAR and vulnerability that will make a healthy relationship possible.

    The “oofta” explanation on Maxwell? Yup, that is a healthy relationship: matching oofta tats, a little bit silly, a little bit wonderful. Heart

  48. JOJOSIE says:

    My DH puts up with my Adam addition and even wanted to make sure I supported his Charity Water campaign as he thought that was a great charity. Saying that he’d never be the kind that would attend one of his concerts. He’s heard me talk about how cute I think Sauli is but I thought he just sluff it off. Today I got home in time to watch Ellen. I went in the den as it has a better HD tv. After it was over I returned to the living room, only to find out he had watched the last part of Ellen and said Adam was fine and that he had to agree with me that Adam’s boyfriend is really a great looking guy and wondered how many girls had tried to change him. I didn’t laugh but I couldn’t help but smile. Maybe he’s closet fan after all. ROTFL

  49. dcglam says:

    Oh Kradamour….. So happy to hear that this Ellen performance turned you into a true BTIKM lover!!! High Five!

  50. dcglam says:

    Funny story, JOJOSIE….. LOL!
