After a very busy and promo-filled month of February (during which Adam also took time out to attend the Elton John pre-Oscar party pictured above), March figures to be busy as well for Adam and his fans, as he should continue promo efforts for the lead single “Better Than I know Myself” and his upcoming album “Trespassing”. Adam may take some time to put last minute touches on some of the late addition album tracks as well. The album release date, which was previously set for March 20th, has been pushed back to an undetermined time later this spring. I’m guessing sometime in April or early May, but we will see.

Update – on March 23rd, Adam confirmed that the release date for Trespassing will be May 15th!

Enjoy the chat!

    I always look for the pony in a room full of shit.

    Haha. That’s one way to put it.
    I think this is totally your prerogative. I am less bothered by the haters as by the fact that Adam defenders seem to be singled out for banning. Maybe I’ll cool off in a couple of days, but for now, I’m keeping my distance. I like that you walk to the beat of your own drum. Plus, we do need a good spy!

    Is AWOP a continuation of TWOP when they were talking about Adam during AI*?

    Elise (?) just sang WLL on Idol … judges acted like no one had ever sung it before, not to mention better.

  6. dcglam says:

    I saw that, Texas. Well, I feel that both Steven and Jennifer don’t have much of a clue about Adam. Randy just seems to have a very short memory. LOL!
    We all know, though…… Wink

    I hate to be the only descender here but MJ’s will still be the first visit for me each day

    Your not the only one, because I enjoy her site, it help me keep up with all the Idol news. I also realized a while ago, that Adam’s success and the respect he’s getting from the industry is the best revenge against those who hate him. I’m going to enjoy these coming months and not get upset over stuff that I have no control over.

  14. bridgette12 says:

    I hate when Adam keeps secrets. I now it’s a good secret, but it’s pure torture waiting for Queen to make an announcement.

    Just watched that Trespassing! WOWOWOWOW!

    I’m really leaning to Trespassing for the next single.
    Isn’t it great that he gave us snippets of 4 songs that are so good we can’t decide on one? Squeee!

  16. riskylady says:

    It just occurred to me, what Queen said on their website was that Sonisphere UK 2012 had been cancelled. That doesn’t mean that Queen couldn’t do their own concert at Knebworth (as Northern Spirit said)….So many people have booked non-refundable hotels in the vicinity, and possibly non-refundable or at least big penalty airline tickets to go there from all around the US and other countries, it wouldn’t be hard for them to find out how many people bought Saturday-only passes, Saturday VIP passes, etc. The fact that Queen knew this and put it on their site first to me indicates that they got an early heads-up from the same organizer possibly that booked them. I truly think they must be trying to work something out for themselves. Everything crossed!

  17. dcglam says:

    That was a terrific performance of Trespassing, nkd! They just keep getting betterer and betterer.

    This is still my favorite Trespassing performance so far, though:

    Cher, don’t worry about the Stevenage hotel, we’ll figure something out even if there is no concert

    Not worried riskylady I am going regardless. It’s a vacation anyway. We are going regardless, right? Grin

  19. nkd says:

    I agree dcglam! I’m getting from these animated Trespassing performances the “show you what is cold” is going to be a crotch grab moment! He’s a little refrained right now!

    I’m sure she’ll remember. We mentioned that moment to one another in an email a few weeks after Ste.-Agathe. The exact quotes may be different but it will still amount to the same thing. Wink

    Maybe a bit far-fetched, but Adam’s remarks reminded me of the British mathematician Alan Turing, who was “chemically castrated” with estrogen shots as a way of “treating his gayness”, and subsequently took his life. NPR did a piece about him just days ago. http://www.radiolab.org/series/podcasts/

  26. Miss Chaos says:

    Oh Man, I was gone all day and I missed the crap on Mjs’s Well just like you all, I am banning Mj from the site. Can I do that. She really is a byotch!!!Her hate for Adam is apparent. if she hates him so much, dont start threads with him. I wont post on there anymore. DONE! I am sick of trying to stick up for Adam without stepping on precious MJs rules. Hypnotized Loser

    As far as Adam and Queen, sounds like they have something in the works, it will be great, just wait and see. But sorry for those of you who bought tickets for stuff, hope you get it back.

    I did like Elise singing WLL tonite I thought she did great, not Adam style, but for a girl, I thought it was good.

  27. turquoisewaters says:

    NCOE sounded amazing again!! Adam knows how to put just the right amount of grit into his voice, something that I think seperates his from Bruno Mars’singing. I don’t think I would mind it as the next single.

  28. cwm says:

    It’s official. I just received this email, moments ago:

    Dear [ ]:

    It is with very heavy hearts and much regret that we announce the cancellation of Sonisphere Knebworth 2012.

    Putting the festival together in what is proving to be a very challenging year was more difficult than we anticipated and we have spent the last few months fighting hard to keep Sonisphere in the calendar.

    Unfortunately circumstances have dictated that we would be unable to run the festival to a standard that both the artists and that Sonisphere’s audience would rightly expect.

    We want to express our deepest regrets to the artists and to thank all the staff, suppliers and contractors who worked so hard with us to try and pull off what has proven to be an impossible task and we know how much they share in our disappointment. We also want to send a huge thanks to the Sonisphere fans who stuck by us and we are so sorry that we can’t fulfil what we set out to do.

    A full refund will be processed back onto your card, please allow 5-7 working days for the refund to clear.

    If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact See Tickets at http://www.seetickets.com/CustomerService.

    Kind regards,

    Team Sonisphere.

    Sigh. Frown

    It sounds like the promoter is having deep financial troubles. I’m particularly struck by the fact that it sounds like they were concerned about whether or not they could pull off the festival before they even announced it a month ago.

    Now we wait to see whether Queen and Adam say anything hopeful about an alternative gig.

    ETA: Just saw that essentially the same message has been posted on the Sonisphere website:

    Regarding the whole MJs situation, I read through the twitter battle she had with a few Adam fans today. I get that her blog is not a fansite and that people are allowed to criticize the celebrities and idols she covers but not each other. So I don’t get too worked up about criticisms of Adam in Adam threads because criticisms of other idols appear in other threads. What struck me today, though, was MJ’s obvious disdain for Adam’s fans. She essentially lumped us all together as “cray cray stans” and dismissed us.

    I surprised myself by caring that I felt insulted by her remarks, and I sent her a fairly long private email about it. I made sure that it was very respectful and diplomatic (something I’m actually pretty good at). I won’t go into the details here, but bottom line, I acknowledged the difficulties and frustrations she encounters; conveyed my perceptions of her negativity toward Adam’s fans and the role it plays in an increasingly negative cycle of interaction; pointed out that we’re not all crazy and that some of us are actually quite reasonable, follow the rules, and are a positive force on her blog; asked her to be even-handed and fair with her ban hammer, her own overreactions, her angry threats, and insults on twitter, even amidst her irritations; and I expressed hope that her rules against insulting other people and fandoms also applied to what she says publicly about people and fandoms.

    I honestly don’t know whether she will respond or not. We’ll see.

    By the way, in the midst of the twitter battle today, she said that clicks on Adam threads do not constitute the majority of her traffic- “far from it” – and that most of her traffic comes from coverage of the current shows and spoilers. She pointed out that number of comments on a thread is not a good barometer for number of clicks overall. She ended by saying that she will probably (further) reduce her coverage of Adam, and I got the sense that she may reduce coverage of other ex-idols as well and focus more on the current shows. So, maybe she doesn’t really need Adam fans to sustain her click rate, since she appears quite willing to reduce the Adam-related traffic to reduce her aggravation and headaches. So be it.

    I may still check in there from time to time and possibly post if I feel so inclined, but I don’t feel the strong pull to MJs anymore that I once did. I’m getting all of my Adam news off twitter now anyway. Follow a few key people on twitter and you learn everything you need to know. Smile

    I will always be grateful to MJ for providing the real estate that facilitated our establishing this great community of fans, and I’m sorry to see that the tone has changed so much there at this point. But she has greatly expanded the range of shows and people that she covers on her blog, and it’s kind of a different place now than it was a year or two ago.

    ETA: Wow, that’s a couple of really long posts from me. Sorry!

  30. cwm says:

    Hmmmm. This is on the Queen website, under the official Sonisphere statement:

    Statement from Queen

    “We are disappointed to hear of the cancellation of the Sonisphere Festivals as we were very much looking forward to performing with Adam Lambert and particularly as the venue was Knebworth, our last stand with Freddie. We apologise for the disappointment to all those who were looking forward to seeing us. We are working to see if we can redress the situation at some other venue.”

    Roger Taylor and Brian May

    Fingers crossed!

  31. Northern Spirit says:

    HI cwm, I just came here to post that, too. Let’s hope they can figure something out, a venue near London at the same time. Why not Knebworth? The grounds are free now.

  32. rs says:

    I will still be there with cher, riskylady, and anyone else who cares to join us. If Adam and Queen do have a concert at the same venue or somewhere else in the UK that week it will be incredible. We will get a whole concert of what we came all this way to see without having to sit through all the other stuff that we weren’t interested in in the first place. I truly believe that they will do everything in their power to make it happen. They have the numbers of everyone who ordered tickets for Saturday only. They have to know how much interest there was. And if it is just them, I am sure that many, many more will want to come.

  34. nkd says:

    And if it is just them, I am sure that many, many more will want to come.

    I’m waiting to see what they come up with. It has def peeked my interest! Although I would still love a concert on this side of the pond!

    Also, please note that some of the hugest Adam peeps (Q3 and CindyM) NEVER post there anymore.

    [smiles] Q3 has a new job that is totally swamping her.

    She barely has time to anything but the front page at Adamtopia, and that’s her own site. There’s just a big pool of part-time moderators to keep things going there since she’s mostly not available now. I’m guessing that MJ’s is consequently a pretty low concern for her.

    I’ll admit I only poke my head into mj’s periodically, and that’s usually to see what other idols besides Adam are doing. Don’t need the aggrevation. (Although I’ll admit a bit of perverse snarkish pleasure in reading the back-n-forth at times. Wink )

    Sorry about everyone missing out at Sonisphere. I’m looking at my poor lonely useless receipt too. [sobs]

    However, I’m gonna sit tight for a couple weeks and see what else Brian and Co. come up with in terms of alternate venues before I do anything drastic. Smile

  50. milwlovesadam says:

    Thanjks CWM for your insightful post about MJ’s. And Jojosie too.

    I promised never to go there yesterday, but found myself there anyway. I will be done posting there for a while. I’m in the same boat of feeling a little hurt, and not understanding it completely.

    It’s the old adage of biting the hand that feeds you.

    Anyway, I have seen Mj on some video chat, and she said that she’s overwhelmed many times by the demand for threads for so many shows. I’m thinking she’s too invested/divided/stressed to be even-handed.

    Now: about Queen. I really think they have something else up their sleeves. Adam seemed very chill about it in that great and long and fan-friendly and uber excellent interview today from San Fran.

    Elise last night was very very good with WLL. And LOL about Randy’s short memory. I mean seriously, the dawg was at LA for both shows. How could he possibly forget Adam’s tour closer? Didn’t he need to see an eye doctor from all the glitter? ( Hahaha)
