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!

    In addition to all of the radio interviews, I also enjoyed the music/singing lesson that Adam gave today. That was fun. I love to hear him talking about music and singing. Watching/hearing him sing has definitely taught me to be a better singer.

  2. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    cwm, are you really a singer? If so, I’m sure that following and enjoying Adam’s career has brought an extra element of pleasure to you! I was/am a pianist (practiced more “back in the day”), so I REALLY enjoyed the addition of Kevin – I thought he was amazing.

    Ryan’s show comes on here at a time that I am usually in the car picking up kids after school, and I’ve oftentimes thought he said things that were beneath him … making him sound like a total tool. I don’t get it – he’s accomplished so much, but his humor is oftentimes very sophomoric, almost crude. I didn’t enjoy his interview with Adam, and I found his comments regarding a certain segment of Adam’s fanbase (MY segment, lol), offensive. I think Ryan has Little Man’s Disease. Giggle

    I love Adam interviews. Those last two videos that cwm posted were great! I especially love the Sandy Stec one, like a lot of you.
    When he was talking about his fans, awww, and then she asked him about the crazies, I thought he was going to say my fans are crazy! He was so sweet.
    And like you, Kradamour , I feel that pride in this album, like this is what he’s been waiting to make his whole life. I’m super excited for it myself!
    I had always sort of liked Ryan, but today I think I could have strangled him! Peeps on twitter said he did play BTIKM a few minutes after the interview. I turned it off as soon as Adam was done!
    Loved the twitter music lesson today! With all of these appearances, interviews and excitement, I’m falling deeper into the abyss. The Adam abyss!

    This is what I hear in the Seacrest interview. They were coming back from a break and it started with Ryan saying they were talking about him coming on and “She” said he is dating the winner of Turkish Idol. Then “She” breaks in to talk about everything happening when we were sleeping. I don’t know who “She” is but it was not Ryan who thought Sauli was from Turkish Idol, he was just relaying the story to Adam. Ryan correctly said that Sauli was from Big Brother.

    I didn’t care for the statements he made about the fans, but he did end the interview with saying how smart and clever Adam is.

    Loved the Sandy Stec interview.

  5. nkd says:

    Now if I had seen Adam sitting at the gate at the airport, I’m not sure what I would do! Maybe tap him on the shoulder and ask what he’s listening to. His own new music, can I have a listen too please?!!! Listening to Music

    I keep hearing mixed reports about this. Some are saying that this happened approximately 30 minutes after the interview and was only in response to Glamberts calling the station and complaining. Others are saying that it was just played online.
    Who knows….. It could be all of the above or none.
    The interview was a total waste of Adam’s time as well as mine! Frown

    Texas – Well, I sing, but it might be a bit of a stretch to call me a “singer.” haha I’m not a soloist or anything. I have always loved singing casually, but only recently decided I was at a place in my life when it was time to be a little more serious about it. Actually this was inspired in no small part by Adam. So I’ve participated in some choral workshops and I’m now in a choir – a smallish ensemble of about 10 people. We sing a wide variety of styles of choral music, I’ve learned a lot, and I love it.

    It really can be so exhilarating when it comes together the way it should. I was recently part of a larger choir that performed Vivaldi’s Gloria for the holidays (a very challenging but amazing piece of music), and the performance was so thrilling to be a part of, it literally felt like one of the high points of my life.

    I think rainbowgal has also said that she sings. Am I remembering correctly, rainbowgal?

  9. dcglam says:

    Haha — Check out the first comment underneath the first pic from the Star 101 photos that nkd just posted……

    “Janice Zadwick Monson · Volunteer at Bull Terrier Rescue
    Ack! Ryan Seacrest portrayed us Fresno Adam Lambert fans as old grannies! Some of us are extremely cool! We are not all old grannies here!”

  10. nkd says:

    Sandy Stec @SandyStec
    Part 1: For @adamlambert fans who’ve watched my interview and wondered, “WTF does “Life is a Tunic” mean?!”…..I told Adam, prior to the

    Part 2: interview, I was feeling fat & my whole life has turned into “one giant tunic.” He loved it & quoted it @ the end of interview. LOL!

  11. nkd says:

    I put that photo from the video, Adam on the couch wearing the cardigan, on my twitter page background. I love that picture! He’s so gorgeous! I’m ready for the video now…

  12. dcglam says:
  13. rainbowgal4 says:

    Cwm – you have an amazing memory. Yes I do sing. How lucky/fun that you got to do Gloria. I love that one. ITA about the feeing you get when a piece comes off perfect. I always felt like I was cleansed – my soul my heart. Since my bout with neck cancer I don’t sing with a group and I miss that. Hope to return to my group in the future. In the mean time I run humidifiers and sing for my dogs. Sometimes they sing along. Grin

  14. nkd says:

    That picture is great dcglam! Love the avi!

  15. dcglam says:

    Thank you, nekkid, for the compliment and for posting the pic!! Blowing Kisses

    Ryan gets weird around Adam.

  17. cwm says:

    Yay rainbowgal I remembered correctly! But awwww, I’m sorry that you are not able to sing with your group right now. Best wishes to you for renewed health and an ability to return to your singing!

    While I’m at it, I wanted to express my condolences for your recent loss. In addition, I seem to remember that your partner was recently facing a health concern, wasn’t she? I hope that she is doing better now. Sounds like you’ve had your share of hard things lately. {{hugs}}

    Ryan gets weird around Adam.

    Agree! But who doesn’t? Almost everyone that interviews Adam ends up crushing on him. Male, female, straight, gay! It’s universal! Some people just don’t know it yet! Big Smile

  19. nkd says:

    asif…after close inspection of the spot with a magnifying glass Search and my glasses Nerd on my HDTV, it looks like fuzz from his cardigan. There is also some on the right thigh on the outside seam.
    Don’t tell anyone that I was examining Adam’s crotch at 3am with a magnifying glass! Magnifying glass is not usually required. Wink

  20. HK fan says:

    its a good job I wasn’t eating or drinking when I read your comment nkd otherwise I’d have some cleaning up to do on my keyboard!!!

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

    How do we wait? It’s hard! I’m still not very fond of BTIKM but I have to admit this morning I was singing some of the song in the bathroom and I was so surprised when I realized what I was singing. Not that I can sing at all. Horrible singer. Frown So I guess it’s catchy and having watched replays of Ellen and Leno a few times, it’s stuck in my head. Kiss I’m really excited to read the album reviews and am chomping at the bit to hear the rest. So rainbowgal4 until March 20th, we count the seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks until the release of Trespassing! Big Smile #Excited

  22. luval says:

    I hope he’s careful who he thanks in his liner notes. Was looking at FYE the other day and there was all this love for Drake. Smile

  23. rs says:

    I love all the great album reviews coming out of the UK. Big Smile It is like they are making up for ignoring him last year. I just hope that he gets radio play. Last time he was there for a promo visit they loved him, but then months later, when the single and album came out, nada, the radio was silent. Confused I know that he has really great people promoting him in the UK this time, and I think that it is good that the single and the album are being released almost simultaneously, but I hope that the month between his visit in February and the release in March only builds up anticipation (like with us) and doesn’t make people forget what is coming.

    And more than almost anything, I am hoping that when Adam’s music is a huge success in both the US and the UK, that they will start playing him on the radio here. Clap He is known and loved (mostly by kids)and has been on the cover of magazines, but there has been hardly any radio play.

  24. riskylady says:

    Just want to say to all of you, what a pleasure it is to read this blog!!! Such interesting, literate, thoughtful commenters (also hilarious). Adam attracts such wonderful people.
    Was wondering, after some of these interviews – could we ever come up with a top 20? Maybe even harder than the performance list! But Sandy Stec was wonderful, and I also loved Adam showing a little naughtyness with the two gay DJs (do NOT want to lose that part of him).
    Well, some consolation re the Ryan Seacrest thing, the Today Show clan apparently cackled and guffawed over the rumor that Ryan would replace Matt Lauer lol. (Not a huge fan of Matt’s either, he’s a little full of himself too IMHO.)
    And, Yes, Ryan, Adam’s tongue is MUCH more talented than yours will ever be. And, Sauli is hotter than Julianne. Devil

  25. ultimathule says:

    It’s more than that, nkd – so many times Ryan goes into the sexual angle. Interview with Kris and Adam during Idol8 and Ryan kept asking about their rooming together till Adam finally said – hey, I sing, too. Ryan’s intros to Adam’s performances often had a sexual/gay tinge. And not to speak of the mentoring/tongue explicitness. Creepy.

  26. riskylady says:

    Haha, wondering how all those MJers that say Adam only looks good with pounds of makeup/or wears pounds of makeup are handling all the beautifulness nowadays? Must be really frustrating for them, poor things.

    cher, speaking of days/hours/minutes/seconds, check out the upper right corner for a new addition this morning Smile

  30. glambotgram says:

    LOL cwm that is exactly what I was doing last night after that picture was posted. Love the gold tones in those eyes.

  31. glambotgram says:

    Hi eywflyer Nice to see you. Thanks for the counter!

  32. rainbowgal4 says:

    And, Yes, Ryan, Adam’s tongue is MUCH more talented than yours will ever be. And, Sauli is hotter than Julianne.

    That’s the way to tell him, riskylady. Dance There are many questions about Ryan sexuality and if he’s hiding the fact that he’s gay then the confident Adam would drive him nuts! I’ve seen that so many times. When you look back on Ryan’s interviews it’s only Adam that creates that response. And Adam knows that. Some of the people who have been the roughest with me, later come back to say they are sorry once they come out. And all along I suspected that was why they acted the way they did.

    eywflyer OMG Thanks for the clock. I don’t know about cher but I’m sure she’s as grateful as I am. It will feel like the Advent Calendar at Christmas!

    Thanks to everyone for the good wishes. I want to assure everyone that in my home we are all well now (finally). We’re like most people our ages. Like my daughter-in-law tells us that the object is to get to the end of the line with totally worn out body parts. That means that you lived a very active, busy, fun life. So I sing and dance every chance I get. I exercise (that’s not always the fun part) because I want to get to meet as many of you as I can. And I want to travel to as many of Adam’s concerts that will work for us. And I wish that for all of you.

  33. Miss Chaos says:

    AHH!Back on line. Computer been in shop again, (PSSST) I think I got 3 viruses on my 2 computers from MJ’s, they popped up when I was on there, really bad ones, so unfortunately I am staying away from there on my computer, its safe to read on iphone, till I can afford an Apple, lol. Cost me a couple hundred dollars. Hate trying to get computer back to working order with my settings.

    Anyhow, I just loved Adam on Leno, and Ellen. Short Ellen story. I am all set to watch Ellen at 4:00. I like to watch it alone so I can savor everything about it. So what happens about 3:00? My Son-in-Law ( I dont speak to my daughter, another story) comes in and says I got fired from my job at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Well I have 3 grandkids from him that we all are trying to raise, anyhow, he sits down, my husband goes to get 3 kids from school, they all come barging in, my son is living here, college music grad, in 40’s cant get him into Adam, so hes now here. Well Adam is due on and the whole damn house is full of people, I said, when Adam comes on everyone has to shut up! Ya that worked well. Stupid questions about this and that, is the blond guitar player his boyfriend? No, Who is that in the audience? Is he his boyfriend? Yes, So he is gay, Yes, thats his brother, Yes, they rewind to see him, he sticks his tongue out, Yes, try to explain, but its useless. Snickers about Adam saying his album is this and that, Ug, I was so mad. I never have anyone here at that time of day. It really breaks the mood, even have it taped, but there is nothing like the anticipation of waiting to watch it for the first time.

    Anyhow I know everyone likes the Ellen performance, but I really love the Leno performance, there is something about when he sings the ending, certain notes, I dont know, like he is relived that he is done, but the notes are so smooth, not added or forced. I am sure I dont know what I am talking about, lol.

  34. glambotgram says:

    Miss Chaos I like them both but Love the Leno one too! Smile

    Sorry to hear about you computer problems. Do you think it was something you clicked on at Mj’s. I don’t visit there often but never had a problem and I am on a PC. I really don’t want to mess with computer viruses. Thanks for the warning.

  35. rainbowgal4 says:

    Miss Chaos Welcome back. I work off an Apple Mac and Ipad and I wouldn’t trade it for the world for just the reason you stated. I’ve had Macs since the late 80’s and never had one virus. Hope you can get your’s soon. At least you can use your Iphone to stay in touch.

    Sorry to hear about your son-in-law. Hopefully he will find work soon. You are in my prayers.

  36. riskylady says:

    Miss Chaos and glambotgram, ditto. The Leno one is more intense to me, and shows Adam’s amazing control and passion for his craft, and how he translates that into such beauty. Loved it! Also love the Ellen one, more relaxed but still gorgeous.

  37. glambotgram says:

    Sauli has his blog post up about Leno and Ellen

    http://adamtopia.com/index.cgi?board=sauli&action=display&thread=629

    AWW these too are getting just syrupy sweet. LOL

    “The crown of the evening however was an amazing song performance. Thank you for that, my love!! Grin

  38. cwm says:

    Haha I love the counter clock at the top of the page eywflyer! Thanks for that! Good to see you again; I had been wondering about you. Smile

  39. JOJOSIE says:

    I really don’t think MJ’s is virus dangerous. I go there every day and have since season five and never picked up a virus. I do tho put good virus protection on my computers. I think I’ve heard all the current radio interviews now and seen the shows so now it’s hard to just sit and wait for more. I’m not too good at twiddling my thumbs.

  40. dcglam says:

    I work off an Apple Mac and Ipad and I wouldn’t trade it for the world

    I feel the same way, rainbowgal. I have a regular iMac that I use at home as well as an iPad that I keep in my school (work) tote bag. The iPad comes in handy whenever I have a spare minute at work, which isn’t too often. This is the site I check out whenever I can.

    I’m also sorry to hear about your son-in-law, Miss Chaos, and hope that he will find something very soon. I can tell that you must be the glue that holds your family together. I have to tell you that I adore your sense of humor. The way you retold the story surrounding the “chaos” at your home during the Ellen show was priceless! Mwah… Blowing Kisses

    I don’t think this has been posted yet. If so forgive me.

    ADAM LAMBERT will be on Access Hollywood soon (taping Mon), according to Tweets by Access Hollywood’s Laura Saltman (@DishofSalt):
    Ok thinking caps on guys. I’ll be interviewing @adamlambert on Monday. Ive got my questions. But what do his fans really want to know???
    &
    WOW!!! So impressed by these Adam questions. Great job Adam fans. I will try and get to as many as I can for you on Monday.

  42. glambotgram says:

    Love this on the Access Hollywood questions

    (P.S. Finland ~incident questions … totally passe Wink )

  43. dcglam says:

    Love Laura Saltman and Adam together! She was the biggest Glambert during his days on Idol. Sounds like she still is. Wink

    So, I let my curiosity get the best of me and decided to check out Nicki Minaj’s latest video that Adam has been tweeting (raving) about. All I’m gonna say is…. OMG!!!
    Sorry guys, I’m not bringing it here. Way bizarre…. Rolls Eyes
    LOL, I think her goal is to outdo Gaga.

  44. turquoisewaters says:

    I wonder if there will be a second single before the album drops. With all the great reviews, I want it to be cookoo.
    On a really shallow note: I also wonder if his nail polish is “Sew Psyched” by Essie. Best color ever! between sage and cement, between soft and industrial all at the same time.

  45. rainbowgal4 says:

    dcglam I watched it too – even though I will change channels when she comes on. Not a fan of that style of music and certainly not a fan of her. If she’s not trying to out do Gaga for sure she’s looking for all the attention she can get. From some of the things I’ve read about her she is a real diva and not as a compliment.

  46. ultimathule says:

    I’ve been posting at MJ’s pretty much every day – no virus.

  47. Kradamour says:

    Thanks for the link to the music masterclass from Adam! He is so serious about his music…and wants us to understand what he is doing. Could.not.love.him.more. In Love

  48. ultimathule says:

    Enjoying the hair thread over at MJ’s. Slow day

  49. dcglam says:

    Hey ultimathule….
    I’m loving MJ’s photo choice for her headlines thread today! Big Smile

  50. ultimathule says:

    A lotta the thread was about that. Think Desdem bailed – lol
