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!

    Good morning Kradamour!

    Was talking to a couple of people at work about Trespassing and they said their kids will be downloading it (illegally of course). That stinks!!!

  2. milwlovesadam says:

    Wow that new picture from BTIKM looks a lot like a scene in WWFM where he’s on the couch reading something that is very upsetting and makes him cry….

    “Listabilityness?” Aw shucks.

  3. glambotgram says:

    cwm Thanks for the picture link. There were a few I had never seen before.

    luval that sucks but I am sure it happens to every artist. I always ask the people who say they do that to give me something for free, or to do a service for me for free, or how about going into work and giving them a free day. It doesn’t always work but sometimes I have seen the light bulb go on. DOH!

  4. Ceddies says:

    ok here are the VH1 videos all on one youtube

    Thanks luval. I had not watched these before so I decided to wait for them all together after someone posted that would probably happen.

    I always check out a couple of the videos out to the right side of yt videos that I am viewing. Does anyone know who that Nathan James guy is? His is one of those on the right. He was performing O Holy Night for an aid program called Plan Finland. Just wondering if he was on some show like XFactor and if anyone is familiar with him. Not that it will ever happen, but I would really like to hear Adam doing his version of this song kind of Michael Bolton-ish. Nathan James does his rock version here, and I could totally hear Adam doing this–particularly the way this guy does the ending.

  5. Ceddies says:

    I gotta get busy. Will check back tonite to see what you guys are up to.

    I can’t tell you how good it feels to be connected again. Those four-five days when I couldn’t connect (to even read at times) were a wakeup call for me. It made me know how much I depend on you all for friendship. Not that I don’t have good friends locally; but we all know there are friends–then there are Adam friends. Really, just thinking about it, I actually have three good friends here who are Adam fans, but only one even comes close to the level of Adam love that I have–and she trails by miles.

    Later.

  6. turquoisewaters says:

    Ceddies: It is certainly good to have you back. No more tech fails allowed until this album is out.

  7. riskylady says:

    Ceddies, so nice that you’re connected again.
    I was worried too, spending two weeks with my ultra-conervative sister who liked Adam on Idol but hated him on the AMAs and didn’t like the glam look afterwards or the glam rock on FYE. I also thought she was anti-gay, because of her reaction to the AMA thing.
    Well – happy to say, I was totally wrong!
    It wasn’t the gay thing at all. She just didn’t like the “suggestive explicitness” on TV. Still, didn’t like the makeup or glam rock thing.
    But, turns out she had a gay sister-in-law who died of cancer that was her favorite sister-in-law, loves Ellen, also has a gay brother-in-law. So, I showed her Adam’s new look and she loves it. Is very in favor of my fandom, says it keeps me young (LOLOLOL). So, no eye-rolling!!!! YAY!
    We had never talked about these things, because I was Iavoiding a clash. (Still can’t talk politics, though.)
    I hooked her up with MJs – she’s a big Idol fan in general.
    Think she will like Adam’s new music, so will gift her Trespassing when it comes out.
    Baby steps……

  8. Ceddies says:

    I just became aware thru one of my FB friends that there is an effort to get the views to 1,000,000 by Adam’s birthday tomorrow. Gonna try to post the link. There are currently over 943,000 views. I think we can help.

  9. luval says:

    riskylady. Here’s my story.I have a co-worker who doesn’t believe in “gay”. She’s a strict catholic. She won’t let her son around any single man alone…just in case. She hated Adam’s glam look, don’t even mention the AMA’s. Yet I started slowly sending her Adam music starting of course with Come to Me Bend to Me. And now I’m showing her the new Adam. She’ll say things like “what a handsome man” or “so much better without the makeup”. Of course I mention that he is a showman so may wear it on stage or really whenever he wants. SO WHAT!!. I think I’m slowly winning her over. Never mentioning gay but always telling her about his charities, his family, etc. Baby steps like you said.

    Did any of you see where the actress Cynthia Nixon is saying she “chose” to be a lesbian? There was a big uproar a couple of days ago. Here is one article. btw no one, absolutely no one who I know is gay including my brother ever said it was a choice. They were born this way.

  10. Ceddies says:

    Pulling a kradamour here, can’t drag myself away. Thanks turq and risky (hope you don’t mind the short versions Big Smile ) for the good comments.

    I know what you mean about discussing Adam with certain other folks. Sounds like your sis-in-law may come around yet. As we say, resistance is futile.

    Now I really gotta go. S’pose to go watch Red Tails this afternoono at 4, and I won’t be ready if I keep sitting here.

  13. asifclueless says:

    Last year for my ‘golden birthday’, all of you gave me the best birthday present I could ever ask for by donating $323,803 to bring clean water to over 16,000 people! It felt so amazing to have my fans, friends and family do something so inspiring for me for my birthday.

    I’ve been asked what I would like people to do this year for me, for my 30th birthday. I’d like to invite you to join me, and “give up” your birthday this year. What exactly does that mean? It means that when people ask you what you want for your birthday, you tell them that you’d like clean water, and ask them to donate money, 100% of which will directly fund water projects. Wait until you see how amazing it feels, and together, I bet we can raise over a million dollars, which will bring thousands of more people clean water.

  14. rs says:

    apropos Cynthia Nixon’s comment about choosing to be gay, a woman I know well (sorry, I can’t get more specific on a public forum) has been in a very loving gay relationship which she entered into after her divorce. When her sister asked her about when she knew she was gay she said that her relationship is person specific, not gender specific. She just fell in love with someone who happened to be a woman.
    I do believe that there is a continuum and that there are people who fall in the middle and can go either way.

  15. turquoisewaters says:

    rs says: I do believe that there is a continuum and that there are people who fall in the middle and can go either way.

    I believe this as well. At the same time I think that those who are more on either end of the spectrum don’t have that choice. Cynthia Nixon never meant to generalize her experience to the whole gay community. I think if you asked straight people if they could “choose” to be gay, most would say “of course not”. Why would it be different the other way around?

  16. turquoisewaters says:

    I really like this: “it is only hard because of the ignorant people” from: Adam Lambert Chats with VH1
    http://www.vh1.com/video/interview/728902/adam-lambert-talks-about-writing-better-than-i-know-myself.jhtml#id=1678051

  17. rs says:

    I agree with both of your posts turquoisewaters

  18. luval says:

    Liam McEwen 3hr Adam Lambert birthday special is on now. I love that he plays so many live versions.

    http://www.theflea.co.nz

  19. ultimathule says:

    Has anyone discussed in the video the one-way mirror. Can see through from dark to light only. Maybe a split-screen video? Adam’s singing in sync with himself in both rooms? Love this puzzle.

    As I mentioned briefly over at MJ’s, the section of the VH1 vid, particularly where he talks about his time on Idol, I get the impression that what he did express at that time was true, but there was a great deal of (?) that went unexpressed – “underneath” and all. Wonder what he left out. Music may tell us?

  20. riskylady says:

    Agree too. I was thinking about the “choosing” or “born this way” thing yesterday. In the end, even IF or maybe WHEN it’s a choice, then so what? It’s not illegal (at least in most states although some may have outdated but unenforced laws) NOR evil IMHO. Different strokes for different folks. I’m a firm believer in live and let live, as long as people don’t hurt anyone. Some may think it immoral. So – don’t do it.
    Humans and animals have been doing this for millenia.

  21. Oksana2000 says:

    I’m listening to Liam McEwen special and reading his Twitter feed at the same time. It never cease to amaze me to see where fans are tweeting from. I swear, no country left. For some peeps it’s a middle of the night, for some VERY early morning, for some pretty late on Sat night.I’m the lucky one sitting here with the cup of an afternoon tea… Smile

  22. luval says:

    Oksana, I love your post and think about what you said often. Amazing. I know there are other singing superstars out there that are followed worldwide, but right now their names escape me. Maybe Celine Dion? Michael Jackson certainly was.

    And right now “Feeling Good” is playing…yes, Adam…it’s about you!!!

  23. loveroftalent says:

    @Oksana2000…Love your post…It is really amazing…All these people all over the world joined together listening to this amazing man….

  24. Oksana2000 says:

    luval,I’m pretty sure that there are more superstars known worldwide, but Adam is not yet in their league (I’m not delusional). GaGa, Bieber Frown ,RiRi – that what comes to my mind right now.
    I don’t know if I should compare Adam’s career trajectory with other Idol alumns, or with other mainstream artists. Within IdolWorld he is the only one beside Kelly, who has worldwide recognition.
    JMO.

  25. luval says:

    ultimathule…your’s is another interesting take on the video. Can’t wait to see if any of us were even close!

    Oksana, oh yeah, gaga & bieber. My mind goes blank with Adam.

    Wonder if anyone from the South Pole is listening. How do I reach someone there and give them theflea link? Smile

  26. luval says:

    Now this is my opinion…theflea is playing the Bowie medly from the AI tour. Totally wrong Bowie songs, IMO. They just did not showcase his voice. Very awkward melody. I wonder who chose them?

  27. Oksana2000 says:

    It’s about time for Adam to tweet about Charity Water – 30 birthday!
    Last year we were at his initial goal of $29,000 within 4 hours! This year it’s just word of mouth from fans and what did donate in 3 hours?
    Lousy $4,400 ?
    Shame on you, Glamberts!!!!
    At least this year Adam’s charity has reasonable goal of 100,000… Smile

  28. Oksana2000 says:

    Wonder if anyone from the South Pole is listening. How do I reach someone there and give them theflea link?

    luval,yes, one penquin called and said that Adam is hot .. Smile

  29. luval says:

    Oksana, I’m thinking most glamberts don’t even know about the Charitywater thing yet. Just got started. Give it a chance. Last time it was a fluke. So much money in so short a time. But it will pick up I’m sure!!!

  30. dcglam says:

    Wow, thanks so much for the LM link, luval!
    Unfortunately, I was out and about for the good part of today, so I missed at least the first half. I came in at Master Plan and again realized how much I love that song. That is a song that I wish we had heard more of. I had to LOL at that Bowie Medley from LA (bitches). I can always tell where that one came from. Wink
    I also loved all the heartfelt messages from his fans. Heart
    What a fabulous tribute this was to Adam for his birthday!

  31. milwlovesadam says:

    Hi guys. Just returned from lunch out with my brother. He’s home from teaching English in China. He’s going back next week. Among many topics, was censorship and how the government influences people.

    His best example that he had seen so far was with Lady Gaga. All his college students loved her, she was “#1.” When “Judas” came out, it was controversial and banned. The people received numerous communications through e-mail, TV and cell-phone and land line messages that she was no longer sanctioned, and was not to be listened to anymore.

    In school, my brother made reference to her in class, and almost in unison the students said ” She’s a bad person, we don’t talk about her or listen to her any more.” ” She’s no good.”

    That’s it. No rebelling. No listening anyway. Maybe some listen in private, but not out loud. And, since there is no real Google or You Tube ( Completely banned), there is no way to get the music anymore.

    Just one more reason to love our country and our freedoms.

    I think Glamberts crashed Flea.

    “Gates” as I remember them:

    During Idol: Who the HELL is that guy who just jumped out of my TV at me and went straight into my heart and loins and is he gay- Gate

    Oh snap my private pictures are all over the net and Chris Matthews is all over me and I can’t even talk about it because I’m in the Idol bubble- Gate

    I just sang Mad World and half the world didn’t see it because their DVR’s cut me off because I had the end of the show glory spot and Simon stood up and I made the cover of EW what gives me so much press-Gate

    I didn’t win Idol but I really won because I’m a media darling and can sing the shit out of anything thrown at me and besides there was a vote rigging scandal by AT&T -Gate

    Directly Post-Idol: Oh Adam, geez just come OUT already but I’m not going to come out for two more months when I make the cover of Rolling Stone in a pose so hot sexy gorgeous that I sell more mags than anyone else in 2009 and there will probably be a baby boom from all the hot mommas creaming over me and don’t they get it I’m gay but they do get it and that’s what makes me even more attractive because they can’t ever really have me- Gate

    Cougars for Adam, don’t really understand all the 29’ers fan-stanning me but they love me to death and if that’s my fan-base oh well at least they’ll buy my stuff-Gate

    I just posed for Details with a naked WOMAN and the pictures are so hot sexy gorgeous especially the ones where I’m channeling James Dean in a white T-shirt that my fans still ogle them 3 years later and the editor of OUT magazine is all over me and it leads to a war of words which causes me to give a bad vocal performance at the AMA’s and lose many potential fans when I go off-script and KISS Tommy and do other stuff on live TV leading to an FCC outrage leading to me getting cancelled from several gigs but getting other gigs from my besties on TV Ellen Leno and Chelsea.-Gate

    In the meantime my CD album art was released and I just don’t understand why it would be so controversial I mean what’s not to understand or appreciate about androgyny?- Gate

    I’m off to International promo and I decide to be really campy and over the top glammy and I wore a codpiece, so what? Gate

    Oh snap, somebody is releasing a bastard album-Gate

    What the hell is Adommy fanfic? He’s straight, people-Gate

    Tour: Hahaha all the press is calling Glamnation “Family Friendly” wait until they get a load of my first foray into shaving in Milwaukee and oh, I might just get a little sexay and do a little something something on the stairs there while singing Whole Lotta Love and wow my side hair shaving is NEWS?- Gate.

    Adommy is really heating up and I don’t care Imma gonna kiss him and lick him as much as I want-Gate

    There’s a church of hate and bullshit at so many of my shows and I just can’t stand it don’t they know all the world needs is love and I think I’ll be inspired by this and write me song or two-Gate

    OMG my fans are so cray first it’s all those 29 year old ones, then there’s the Adommy fan fic , now they’re all wondering whether I shave my pits, and if I shave my chest, and whether I pierced my nips, what do I need to do? Just rip my shirt off on stage? Nope. Not gonna do that. I think I’ll just stage dive and tongue kiss both boys and girls, floor mop, bump grind and thrust my bulging self at them and lick and suck my mic and make out with Tommy instead. Nope, if my vest gets loose I’ll just button it right up. I wouldn’t want them to see my chest. I’m waaaay too shy for that-Gate.

    Went a got a new tat and it’s on the news. -Gate

    We have a new drummer and he’s awesome and he smiles-Gate

    I hear that some fans want to meet me so I’ll start having meet and greets before every show and then some of my fans got kinda greedy and started acting self-entitled and I keep meeting them over and over and they hog the front of the stage and are rude to other fans, but whatever, I’m sure they are not going away-Gate

    So I’m at the beach and the paps just really got on my last nerve ‘cuz I’m just there chilling having some snacks and drinks and they won’t let me alone so I took matters into my own hands but what the fans take from this is my choice in shorts, shirt and head wear-Gate

    So what so I smoked a doobie in Amsterdam on stage and put my whole long tongue down Tommy’s throat, who cares, do I really need to be on TMZ, ENews and every other news source for that.-Gate

    Tour’s over. What the frack will the fans do now? WAIT? Gate

    I have hair extensions, and I wore a poncho to an event. News. And I am not fat. -Gate

    I took out my extensions, and grew some facial hair. Pirate- Porn stache. -Gate

    I have me a boyfriend he’s hot cute young blonde and smaller than me he’s just my type and I took him to Bora Bora to chillax and we rode wave runners and looked supremely handsome and sexy and made lots of news -YAY-Gate

    So what if Sauli is living with me he’s not a leach he’s just getting himself started in LA-Gate

    Bruno stole my Emmy but I won Best Dressed award and posed for some of my best ever ever ever pictures-Gate

    Gaga had a birthday party and I had several cocktails and punched a hole in the ceiling but so what doesn’t everybody do that-Gate

    I went to Moscow and Canada and had a great time but all anyone cares about is seeing Sauli. I sang Outlaws of love and let my nips show in Canada in a rainstorm did anybody notice-Gate

    There’s a bastard album again but I’m going to sue the living sh*t out of those *ssholes, and oh noes my good bestie Monte is involved, I’m gonna unfriend him and move on with my career-Gate

    I surprised Europe but my ninja fans knew I would be performing with Queen and I nailed that sh*t I really nailed it now I can reveal my Master Plan for World Domination-Gate

    So I decide to go to Finland after a nice show in Shanghai and I’m uber jet lagged and have some vodka shots at a club and have a spat with Sauli and it turns ugly and public and we get tossed in the drunk tank we’re not really arrested but it makes every news outlet in the modern world before we even sober up and TMZ calls me a spousal abuser, but we go out for a burger and tweet about it and have OOFTA makeup sex by the way and decide to have a new reality and juice cleanse and exercise and now I have to talk about this in every single interview. Oh well. At least the AMA’s are behind me now with this escapade- Gate

    Hahaha nobody knows what my OOFTA tat means-Gate

    I have a new music director with shaving a mohawk and lots of tats and he’s awesome, I have a new rad bass-chick with prominent shaving and tats and ‘tude, and BTIKM is out needs airplay real bad and gets great reviews and all anyone can ask me is if I’ll be with Queen at the Olympics and why did I change my style but my CD is coming out in March and I’m going to Europe and I’m gonna slay em-Gate

    What the frack? I wore a designer cardigan for my video and it was expensive, but some people think I should wear plaid shirts- Gate

    That was a lot of fun to read. Wow, what an interesting life Adam leads!

    Oh, wait, I do remember a couple more. During the oh-so-family-friendly Idols Live tour, there was a constant stream of women’s underwear and sex toys thrown onstage at Adam, AND there was of course his smelly-fan-tweet-gate. Also, there was the “censorship” of his GlamNation show in Malaysia-gate.

  46. Oksana2000 says:

    Do you think that Adam reads all birthday tweets that he gets? He must be getting message every 10 seconds, and it’s not even 29th in USA.Just wait for tomorrow..
