Hi everyone!   I realize some of you don’t like the eyes pictures but I think this one is beautiful.  I think of looking ahead to the Festival, new single, next album and tour when I look at this picture.  This month all of us will have a huge treat to look forward to with Adam performing at the St. Agathe en Feux Festival and my good friend Suz526’s videos on 7/29!   Please keep us all updated on the plans of the rather sizeable group of you who will be attending this concert as those of us who can’t make it to Canada will live vicariously through you for this one!

Thursday evening July 7th update: thanks to angelowal, we now have a translated link to FAQs for the Festival!

    Looks like it’s just you and me tonight, dcglam!
    I’ll leave you to lock up and turn off the lights – I have an early wake-up for my plane to Maine.
    G’nite! Sweet Adam dreams!

  2. dcglam says:

    Yep, it’s been just you and me (on and off) since around 2:00 this afternoon, Kradamour. I even made it to a family cookout and back!
    Sweet dreams….. Smile

    I saved this post from February 1, 2011 at 10:11 p.m. – believe it encapsulated what so many of us here feel:

    “Whew, what would we do without it?

    “An interesting question. One I hadn’t thought about. I have never known a performer whose disappearance would leave a hole in my personal life and my heart, or be more than a blip on my screen. But if I knew that I would never hear that voice again, I would be bereft. Very odd to realize that.”

    Yes.

    Not true, can’t you sense me looking over your shoulder?

  5. riskylady says:

    Hi, everybody. I know it’s late, but I had an idea: Why don’t we start a pool guessing the name of the new album?
    Here’s a few candidates from me:
    1. #Realness (well, it would be groundbreaking lol)
    2. Reflections (comes frm that pic Adam tweeted on the chair in the studio)
    3. Closer to Earth (said this a couple of times in his Japan InRock interview – you know how he drops things and later we find out they meant something?))
    4. Organic (also from the Japan and other interviews)
    5. Mind Control (new song registered – someone mentioned that above as a possibility)

    I’m SURE you guys have tons of very creative ideas!! Go for it!

  6. riskylady says:

    Anyway, no passports received down here in Miami either. Getting antsy.

  7. floridagirl says:

    I know I haven’t posted here in a while although I do follow the thread. I’m also going to the concert and I haven’t received my passport either here in Orlando. I’m getting just as antsy as you riskylady. I’m trying to remain calm now being as others are getting theirs. I just won’t feel comfortable until I have it in hand!

  8. adamized says:

    riskylady thanks for the new game. Loved a couple of your guesses. Here are a couple of my guesses:

    1. Acceptance
    2. Rakastan
    3. Adam

    ultimathule thank you for the beautiful post. Sad but true.

  9. eywflyer says:

    Good morning, 7/18/10 was an off day for the GNT as they headed northwest from Denver. Coming up this week – Boise on Tue 7/19, Seattle on Wed 7/20, and Portland on Thu 7/21.

    More pap pics…..
    By the way, my favorite part is the phrase “the For Your Entertainment hunk“. Wink

    That post does capture our thoughts and feelings just perfectly, ultimathule. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    See Neil, wondered where he was.

  12. JOJOSIE says:

    First place I go in the morning is MJ’s. Saw the clip of Adam at the movies. Came here and saw it already posted. You guys are fast. There is also a video of Jimmy Fallon and Blake (from the voice) at MJ’s. I would really love to see what Adam would do on that show. I think it could be epic.

  13. HK fan says:

    I wonder what film he saw?
    I’d like to see the video he took of the paps..

  14. luval says:

    Wow did the For Your Entertainment hunk look like a hunk!! Sauli looked cute.

  15. cwm says:

  16. cwm says:

    Here is the full translation from that great Japanese INROCK interview.

    http://terraj.livejournal.com/7120.html

    Key nuggets:
    – he’s written and recorded 25 songs. Probably all of the songs on the album will be ones he has written
    – key themes of search for oneself and self-discovery, both positive and negative
    – very personal — how he thinks, his feelings, what he’s learned about himself, but also focused on universal feelings we all experience
    – he feels some pressure around the sophomore jinx/slump, but also conveys confidence
    – he expresses appreciation for his fans’ support and feels like he’s gotten to know his audience pretty well over the past year
    – more down-to-earth this time, more modern style; FYE was more retro, glittery, glam, out in the universe
    – inspiration from Adele– the importance of the voice, and using the voice to express the song

    Great details! He’s got me very curious and very eager for his new music — can’t wait!

  17. jlurksacto says:

    Passeport, Passeport, YES! YES! ho hum – in the mail today.

  18. dcglam says:

    Now we have Adam’s “reverse” paparazzi video — LOLOLOL!!

    http://www.twitvid.com/SUFD8

  19. dcglam says:

    Happy for you, jlurks…..
    I know you need to leave fairly soon because you have a long trip ahead of you. This is one BIG thing you can cross off your list! Smile

  20. jlurksacto says:

    I know you need to leave fairly soon. This is one BIG thing you can cross off your list!

    Yep, leaving the 21st – heading east. Gonna visit family in Nebr for a few
    days, then on to Toronto (might pick up a passenger) and Montreal. Now it
    is time to get serious about packing a suitcase.

  21. cgesq says:

    Hi All,
    Just wanted to report that I got my passports in today’s mail.
    YAY!! Keep the faith. I’m sure you will all get yours soon, if not today!

    PS I live in NJ if that matters in terms of mail delivery.

  22. cwm says:

    Haha Adam is such an adorable, lovable dork. I love it that he posted his reverse pap vid.

    adamlambert Adam Lambert
    http://twitvid.com/SUFD8 – Reverse Paparazzi. Lol. (I’m such a dork)

    And LOL at the upside down and sideways camera angles!

    Also, sounds like “Mind Control” was a red herring–

    _sarahmarsden sarah- anne
    @adamlambert THE FIRST song on the NEW ALBUM ADAM LAMBERT …. MIND CONTROL ? true or false

    @adamlambert Adam Lambert
    @_sarahmarsden False… There is no song of that title on the album.

  23. jlurksacto says:

    negativeneilNeil Lambert
    Today @adamlambert and I are officially uncles. The reign of terror begins.

    ?????????????????????????

  24. cwm says:

    Suz526, you got a nice shout out on the comments under the reverse paparazzi twitvid that Adam posted. Smile

    AquariusFIN
    AquariusFIN You’re no Suz526, for sure LOL.

    LOL Lots of very affectionate “yes you’re a dork and I love you and your camera work makes me dizzy” kinds of comments on there. Smile

  25. cwm says:
  26. dcglam says:

    It always makes me smile to see Adam’s name included among other “heavy hitters”……

    http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/american-idol-to-be-inducted-into-broadcasting–cable-hall-of-fame-125759348.html

    American Idol set out to prove that one audition can change the rest of someone’s life. And it did just that by producing some of the biggest names in the music business, and the show’s talent roster reads like a Who’s Who of the entertainment industry including Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Daughtry, Adam Lambert and David Cook.

  27. dcglam says:

    Many thanks for all the paparazzi goodies today, cwm. Wow, it seems to be making “news”. I’m now waiting for this to be televised on Bill O’Reilly — LOL.
    Remember, he is the one who made a big deal (positively so) when Adam called out that cell phone user during his performance.

    LOLOLOL!! I just love his dorkiness – nobody does it better!!!

    And . . . the passport arrived today – whew! Getting Rolando out of rehab tomorrow . . . 11 more days. . . .

  29. eywflyer says:

    Hm, I’ve just now realized that my regular (non-passport) ticket for this show may leave me stuck far from the stage in a poor viewing location. What types of passports did people get? Do we know which ones will be given access to better viewing locations for the show? There are still passports (Laissez-passer) available currently, but I’m doubting that those will have any access to better seating than general single show tickets.

    Damn, I should have thought of all this sooner. Didn’t know I was going to the show until all the early passports were gone Frown

  30. luval says:

    Just heard from Kradamour…away from her computer and posting right now. But she wants to tell everyone she received her passports today!

    eywflyer. I really don’t think it matters what type of ticket you purchased. It’s general admission. I don’t know of anyone who bought the special $500.00 or whatever price that special viewing area tickt was. btw my Adam Lambert ticket is number 1350. Still not sure what all that means. Probably nothing.

  31. dcglam says:

    This goes along with cwm’s earlier post about Mind Control being a “red herring”. From smeggs over at MJ’s…

    smeggingnuts says:
    07/18/2011 at 6:09 pm
    haha DRAMA…apparently Alisan Porter is not happy that one of the other co-writers of the new song of Adam’s “Mind Control”(turns out the song hasnt even been written) posted the idea on ascap….she mad

    alisanporter
    Mind Control will not be on the album. It was an idea in the studio that never came to fruition.

    alisanporter
    Unfortunately some people are too delusional to have any respect for the privacy of Adam and the process of creating his record. Sad.

    alisanporter
    Love to know where you guys heard about it…….. Ps. Always trust your intuition about people.

    @alisanporter don’t get so defensive. it was on the ASCAP website. good title. pple were excited is all

    alisanporter
    @HazMad13 I’m not being defensive. Its a deliberate move.

    alisanporter
    I love you guys. Trust the wait is worth it.

    alisanporter
    RT @Glambertx96 @alisanporter Are you calling us delusional? Or the people that leaked it? If it’s us, IM SORRY D; lol?. Never you guys!

    alisanporter
    Desperation is vile to me

    alisanporter
    let me clear this up.. i love all of you and i am not nor would i ever speak ill of you. Im NOT talking about the fans.

    alisanporter
    im talking about a person who would register an IDEA of a song to see his name next to Adams on ASCAP.

    alisanporter
    sorry for the mix up….just passionate about this. I love all of you!

  32. eywflyer says:

    luval, I thought I saw some chat on here a while back about certain passports getting access to a better viewing area, maybe that was just the $500 ones that no one got. My regular ticket is #1000 btw.

  33. luval says:

    Eywflyer… Yeah I think you’re right. That’s a lot of money. Wonder who will show up in that area? To me that’s a stubhub price for confirmed seating not a GA concert.

  34. cwm says:

    Wow, when I identified that “Mind Control” registration on ASCAP as a red herring, I didn’t know that it would involve quite so much drama! You go Alisan!

    I thought that it was odd when that song title showed up on ASCAP but Adam shot it down as definitely NOT being on the album. Something struck me as fishy about that.

    It’s really obvious how important it is to be able to trust your colleagues in this business.

    Gonna visit family in Nebr for a few
    days, then on to Toronto (might pick up a passenger) and Montreal.

    Hi jlurksacto!

    Really?!?? Is the passenger in Toronto someone we might know?

    Wink

  36. jlurksacto says:

    my Adam Lambert ticket is number 1350
    Really?!?? Is the passenger in Toronto someone we might know?

    My ticket is #843. I’ll crouch so you can see over. Passenger –
    just could be. (Hi Ron) Also found out today my nephew from Minneapolis
    is going to be in Montreal that weekend – different concert.

  37. cwm says:

    Ok so now you guys are just being coy. So Ron, are you going after all and hitching a ride with jlurk??

  38. luval says:

    Oh no, jlurksacto…The ticket numbers work backwards. I’ll crouch so YOU can see over. Smile

    Should you be picking up hitchhikers? Dangerous if you ask me.

  39. adamized says:

    crap, now I feel bad about posting the link to the ASCAP website. It was twittered out by a true fan who I am sure had no ill intent. I guess that those of us not in the “buz” should be extra careful about this sort of stuff.

    Adamland, is the ASCAP a known or reputable site?

    Sorry everyone for leading you astray.

  40. jlurksacto says:

    Should you be picking up hitchhikers?

    Can’t pass up the sequins.

    Okay, gonna have to wear the six inch heels to see over.

  41. Ron says:

    Just finished a long conversation on the phone …

    I want to say that thanks to my always caring and loving friend, luval, the great enthusiasm, support and help from CHER and the, I want to emphasize, extreme kindness and generosity of jlurksacto … I will be able to go to Ste.-Agathe.

    I’ve thanked them privately and I want to thank them here for all of your efforts to help me out! I had the pleasure of speaking, for the first time, with AL yesterday. He summed it up the best when he said to me, “Adam’s fans are the GREATEST”.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. I couldn’t agree more!

    See you in 10 days … Smile

  42. cwm says:

    Awww Ron – that’s GREAT news! Your friends here really do care about you. That’s really sweet of everyone to help you out so much. We’ll miss you at our virtual wine and chocolate party, though! And yes, Adam’s fans are the bestest.

    adamized — don’t worry about posting the link to the ASCAP site. It’s a perfectly legitimate music registration site where songwriters register their songs so that they can collect royalties on them. The issue wasn’t that the ASCAP link was shared among fans, the issue was that apparently the guy who registered that song title on ASCAP shouldn’t have done so, because (1) it wasn’t even an actual song — it was only an idea but never got any farther than that and (b) he didn’t have the permission of the other writers to register it. So Alisan was basically calling him out.

  43. luval says:

    Ron … Smile Smile Smile

  44. Ron says:

    Hello … Smile Smile Smile

  45. adamized says:

    Yeah Ron!!!
    I want to say that thanks to my always caring and loving friend, luval, the great enthusiasm, support and help from CHER and the, I want to emphasize, extreme kindness and generosity of jlurksacto … I will be able to go to Ste.-Agathe.

    How wonderful that you will be able to be with us. Ditto thanks to all mentioned above.

    >cwm thank you for your kind words. I know that Alisan wasn’t upset with us but I presumed that a legitimate site wouldn’t let an illegitimate song be registered. If that is the case it sounds like any one of us can go register a song. Again, not at all knowledgable on this topic so I will say no more.

  46. cher says:

    Aww Ron..we’re so happy you’re coming!! Would have missed you terribly!! Jlurksacto rocks! Luval, you’ve always been such a special person. Hugs and looking forward to meeting up with y’all in St Agathe! Adam’s fans are really fantastic. Have to thank MJ of course for most of us meeting and eywflyer and adamland for allowing us to continue meeting here.

    BTW!!! Just got home and I have my tickets!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!
    Remember I have an extra passport if anyone needs one. Now I have to remember to pack them next week!! Smile And the real passport too. Alien Adam, we’re coming!!

  47. milwlovesadam says:

    Here’s what I love about the pics and videos of Adam and Sauli out after the movie :

    1) Adam looked gorgeous and happy, so smiley. Less makeup. Nail polish in some photos look like that new crackle stuff.

    2) Neil!!! And smiling to boot!! And tan!!

    3) Sauli with new blonde mohawk. Very very tan. Big smiles. BB came home from NYC.

    4) Listening to Adam laugh. Love to hear that laugh.

    5) That blonde bimbo behind Adam, you know the boobs with legs. So California. So, just, so!!

  48. luval says:

    mils…the boob bimbette with legs thinks that Adam is gonna see her, fall immediately in love with her and leave Sauli. They all do. Smile

  49. Ron says:

    I should never go back and read my posts.

    At 8:23pm, I sound like I’m accepting an Academy Award! Rolls Eyes In case anyone else thought the same thing, I didn’t mean for it to come across that way. I was just trying to express my appreciation. Oops!

  50. Northern Spirit says:

    Ron, so glad to hear you’ll be going! It wouldn’t be the same without you.

    I hope my passport has arrived. I’m down in Williamsburg, Va, right now and won’t know until I get back on Sunday Frown

    Cher, I just might need your paasport if mine doesn’t arrive Smile
