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!

    haha, you guys make me laugh. JOJOSIE…One person at a time. Resistance is futile! Straight men fall in love with Adam and they don’t know why!

    Kradamour. So glad you love the song. I can finally say too I love it. (how long did it take us? lol) That electric piano at the beginning…when he says “Cold as Ice”…I get chills!!!! It’s the ice! And I can’t say enough about the band. Tommy is still a little glam with the heavy eyeliner, luv Ashley. Guess she doesn’t sing, though. Isaac is amazing. Love the heavy drum beats and of course Kevin on keys and vocals. Hope they can make it work for a long time.

    Regarding the “glam”, I do think Adam will keep bits and pieces always. The glitter rings, eyeliner sometimes. I will love whatever he wears.

    nkd…wish Scarlett had a video of that!

    cwm I’m so sorry you didn’t get to talk to Adam. He’s got such an amazing speaking voice. During the M&G I had it was hard to keep talking and not just sit there and listen to him. I though your questions was amazing. Don’t give up hope. You never know what will happen in the future.

    Wow I just got home after being out all day. You all have collected so much material I will be here til sun up trying to take it all in. Thank you to all the linking ninjas. I so appreciate you. Now I’m off to listen to him on Ellen. Be back soon (I hope!).

  5. rainbowgal4 says:

    Oh I forgot to ask. I wasn’t around during the radio interview. Is there a recording of that show?

  6. nkd says:

    Yes rainbowgal there is!
    I was just bringing it here!

    Conversation at work today…

    My boss, Cindy, is not an Glambert but knows that I am. She has no interest in watching him perform. When she came back from lunch today, she asked me, “Did you know that…”

    I finished her sentence..”Adam is on Ellen today.”

    “Yes, I guess you keep up on that stuff. Have you heard his new song yet?”

    “Are you kidding? I’ve already purchased it. I like to support the artists I enjoy.” I told her I’d heard (from you guys) that his performance on Ellen was awesome.

    At this point, Tammy chimed in…”Is he the guy who wears all that makeup?” She never watches AI so that’s the only thing that made an impression on her.

    Then Jerry spoke up. “He keeps getting into a lot of trouble with his boyfriend.”

    Of course, I spoke up to defend Adam–but he had his mind made up and his ears turned off. “There was only one incident, and it was overseas and wasn’t anything more than having a little too much to drink according to the police report.”

    Jerry replied, “I wonder how much money it took to clean up that report.”

    @@ After spending so much time here, sharing the love, I forgot that he’s still got a long way to go.

    Leno vs. Ellen

    I liked the Ellen performance better too. Didn’t get to watch it on the big screen. Frown

    I almost didn’t recognize Isaac with his shirt on. I love drums, and hated that he distracted me from Adam. Isaac did a great job.

    I have monstrous respect for Ashley after she showed such grace under the pressure of her guitar strap breaking on Leno. She’s a great addition to the band.

    I’m used to seeing Tommy being a bit more demonstrative while playing. I’m glad he took a back burner on this.

    I’m impressed with “The New Guy.” He’s a good blend with his harmony and does well on the keyboard. My one complaint about Cam was that she never looked up so we could see her face.

    What can I say about Adam that hasn’t been said already? I would have loved to have been in that audience…sitting in close proximity to Sauli so he would have looked my direction once in a while. Smile

  11. Ellessay says:

    American Idol auditions:

    Would love to have a few new rules:

    1. No crying/begging allowed during the audition. Automatic disqualification. If you can’t take the stress of the audition, you aren’t going to make it through the show.

    2. It’s ok to cry afterwards–and the cameras don’t need to follow the disappointed contestant around until they finally tell the cameraman to get lost and flips the finger at them. It’s bad enough to be humiliated during the audition. Let’s not pour salt into the wound.

    3. Absolutely NO backstory during auditions. I’m only interested in whether or not they can sing. Once we’ve narrowed down the number of contestants, then I don’t mind learning a little more about them, but don’t beat us up with sob stories.

  12. glambotgram says:

    Ellessay ITA with all of your new rules.

  13. rainbowgal4 says:

    Ellessay All I can say is AMEN!! I so agree with yoou.

  14. glambotgram says:

  16. cher says:

    But no one…absolutely no one is anywhere near Adam…or has that “it” factor.

    But luval, methinks you’re a bit biased? buwhahaahahahaha! Laugh
    Can’t believe that gorgeous pic is from the BTIKM video. I’m gonna be living on Vevo and VH1. Those sites are gonna crash!!
    What a gorgeous boy he is!!! Sauli is pretty hot too. Terrence is a studmuffin! That butt! Grin

  17. rainbowgal4 says:

    Just finished the EQ review. I need some help – How in the Holy H**ll are we supposed to wait until March??? And if that album is one half as good as that review the space ship has left earth and we are in for one amazing ride!

    Won’t it be nice for most of us to say we were there from the beginning. I know I didn’t post early on – lurking was my game back then. But I was there. I can’t tell you how many albums I bought because I wanted to help push him to the front. I did it then and I’m ready to do it again.

  18. cher says:

    rainbowgal4 I can’t tell you how many albums I bought because I wanted to help push him to the front. I did it then and I’m ready to do it again.

    I can’t tell either nor how many concert tix I bought for family and friends. Chic No regrets. Might have to do it all over again. No retirement for Glamberts, remember? Keep working to buy Adam stuff. Grin

  19. rainbowgal4 says:

    cher My other passion is fabric. I quilt for therapy and I have a very large family so I make gifts of my quilts. Just the other day I sat down and made a very small budget this year for material. I want to have as much money set aside for all things Adam. Last tour I bought my 86 year old Mom a ticket to his concert in Milwaukee. How I wish she was still with us. I would get her another ticket. She loved his music right from the beginning. I remember seeing a cartoon somewhere about a child talking to their parent, going on and on about Adam did this and he did that. It showed the parent patiently listening. That was my poor Mom. So you are right – no retirement! I have to get a bigger closet to hold all the items!

  20. HK fan says:

    Ellessay I too agree with your rules for Idol. Its often so predictable, like the girl living in the tent,you knew they would say yes before she even opened her mouth, and the girl that works with special needs kids…

    Loved everything about the Ellen performance, the interview was great, not long enough though….the whole show should have been just for Adam!!!

    Sauli looks great, love the way Adam says Sauli, so cute.

    And omg, he looks so hot in a cardigan!!!

  21. nkd says:

    cher My other passion is fabric. I quilt for therapy and I have a very large family so I make gifts of my quilts.

    rainbowgal, what exquisite gifts and what lucky family members. Quilts can be treasured for a lifetime and beyond.

    After reading reviews today, I’ve been listening to OOL again. It just melts me. I can’t wait for the album version and to hear him sing it again live on tour.
    It still amazes me how quiet everyone was for the first two verses considering we were outside in a field!

    Weren’t those pants from the new spring 2012 Skingraft collection. Along with the (crotch) flap shirt.

  24. HK fan says:

    Nevermind the trousers nkd just look at that face….

  25. asifclueless says:

    HK Fan, speaking of trousers, I was trying to look at his face during the performance on Ellen, too. But something distracted me.

    There is a black spot near his royal GB. I don’t know if it was a wet spot or zipper-end or a piece of thread.

    Can anybody do some research for me? You will do a great service. If there are many volunteer peeps, please line-up orderly. nkd, you cannot elbow people,… OK?

    Once I get the answer, I can move on to look at his beautiful face again.
    The HD video from Ellen Channel is the best to view.

    I can’t sew a stitch nor quilt at all. Frown In high school I quickly traded Home Economics for Latin. Never regretted that decision. Laugh
    My mom crochets and knits though, but not me nor any of my sisters. Cry Planning a bit of travel this year, so let’s see how my budget works with Adam’s concerts. My thinking is that he’ll be in larger venues, so less concerts in the US, more international shows this time around. Also depends on album sales. Very important. Grin

    Two new reviews of Trespassing out of the UK!

    http://www.digitalspy.com/music/thesound/a361201/adam-lamberts-new-album-trespassing-first-listen.html

    http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5975&Itemid=206

    Both very good. The Pop Justice one is definitely snarky, but amusing. Both reviews give a little more detail about each song, including some sample lyrics.

    ETA: cher beat me to it on the Pop Justice review!

  29. rainbowgal4 says:

    Cher. That pop justice review had me laughing in so many places. Again how do we wait til March?

    Asif. I looked at what you saw on his pants and I think there is the same sort of spot on the right leg seam. If so it makes me wonder if the fabric has a very random pattern. Now that I write this I’m not as sold on that idea.
    I think we need more researchers with a more trained eye. Chic Chic Chic

  30. luval says:

    Good morning! I sent Ellen interview and performance to a friend at work and her comment was “nice interview. I’ll have to get used to the song”. If took me a bit of time but now I love it. I hope people like her will give it a chance. I’m sure the video will be a huge help. But I will keep in mind what Dean Piper said about this being a soft launch for the album.

    Gonna check out the spot. Smile

  31. glambotgram says:

    Can’t really tell what the spot is, maybe just a cluster of threads, double stitching at the base of the zipper? It is kind of hard to tell because luval,and rainbow keep stepping on my toes and nkd won’t let anyone else use the binoculars.

    I don’t remember this article posted here so forgive me if you have all seen it before. A perspective on Fingate and funny.

    Listened to the Ryan interview, kind of sucked, not Adam but Ryan.

    Another radio interview coming up in about 5 minutes. I think he’s in studio for this one. Fernando and Greg on 99.7 in San Francisco
    http://player.radio.com/player/RadioPlayer.php?version=1.2.13391&station=79

  33. nkd says:

    Yes!!!! He says that he and Queen will be doing something this year.
    He’s got to promote and support his album, but he’s going to try to do both!
    I am such a happy girl right now! If they would just tell us where and when so we can make plans…looking at you luval! Grin Grin Grin Grin

    Way better interview than the Seacrest one! IMHO

  35. rainbowgal4 says:

    Yes!!!! He says that he and Queen will be doing something this year.

    I just know it in my bones that he will be at the Summer Olympics. Because it’s in England there’s no doubt in my mind that Queen, Elton and a couple other musicians will be part of the opening and closing programs. Queen would need a singer. So get your dvr’s ready.

  41. cwm says:

    If they had given me a chance, I could have elevated the quality of that Ryan interview a whole lot. Just sayin’.

    Given the fact that they mocked his fans, I am actually relieved, though, that I didn’t get associated with that drivel. And they didn’t even spin BTIKM. Blech.

    I did like the confident, loving way that he talked about Sauli, though.

    On the other hand, the two San Francisco interviews this morning were light years better and really enjoyable. And they spun the song!

    As I’m writing this, the DJs at Alice93.7 are talking about Adam in his absence and how nice and how great he is, what an amazing voice he has, etc., but also how his first album underperformed somewhat and that maybe he should have gone more rock. Oy.

  44. fwachdr says:

    I don’t want to be OT, but what address are we supposed to use for Adam’s BD cards? The one I have is c/o 19 Entertainment, and I don’t think that is the case anymore. And to whom are we supposed to donate in honor of his BD this year?! Have I somehow missed all this info? Frown

  45. Ron says:

    I’ve always liked Seacrest but that was a very disappointing interview! Six of the seven-and-a-half minutes focusing on the “incident” in … Turkey?! Did he actually use the phrase “hauled away” not once but twice?! I thought Adam very effectively addressed this yesterday on Ellen and had put it to rest. Naive stupid me. He laughed at Adam when he said that people have a light and dark side that will be expressed on his new CD? I guess Seacrest is one happy fella all the time if he can’t understand that concept.

    One of the worst, if not THE worst, interviews ever.
