I just hope the songs on TOH are more voice than music. I listened to some female’s (sorry, can’t recall who but a she’s top 10 sort) new song yesterday on the radio, and there was so much instrumental and electronic background that her voice got lost.
So true…from chunkey

If they can only work even a fraction of this magic for Adam I might cry lol http://hitsdailydouble.com/pop_mart&id=295150 …
I really think the majority of TOH will be more music than voice. Hence the statement he made a bit back “but it’s still me”. Wish I could find the interview. IMO he’s changing the direction of his music…at least for this album.
Cait, I don’t know how we stayed alive before Trespassing was released. Weeks and weeks of delays, music leaks, album was posted on-line the day before official record release to be downloaded for free. (don’t think record companies do that anymore).
So much was happening with Adam going to dozens and dozens and dozens of radio promos which in the end did nothing to help the album (thanks to program directors ignoring it, of course).
Anyway there’s lots more if you go to the archives here. Fun to read our months of angst!
Would have agreed 100% before he started talking a little about the sound of the album. I sure hope so too!
Cait, the Trespassing rollout wasn’t easy. Originally Adam had hinted at November 2011 for release, then he worked with Pharrell and changed the direction of the album. The first single was released in late December, not good, but my feeling is that Adam wanted to get something out for the fans. Then the release date was set for March 20, then when Adam was attending a press event with radio stations, maybe Grammy week, he said Maypril, and we were all a bit disappointed. And “WTF does that mean?” During this time there was a lot of “soon” and “ish” attached to the timeline, that’s where the “soon-ish” joke came from in the fandom. Adam did promo in Europe for a few weeks in Jan-Feb, then spent most of March travelling the US visiting radio stations with short intimate performances and meeting with fans, with a few stops in Canada. We got a few snippets of 4 songs during this time, then the release of the second single.

The album was finally released May 15.
From the “private” events in Europe we got ninja vids and/or audio of several songs. BTIKM was already released, then we got sneaks at Trespassing, Cuckoo and NCOE. Chokehold was revealed at an event in Atlanta in March.

And of course, we had OOL introduced in Ste Agathe.
So we did have some music, or hints at it beforehand.
This time, nothing.
I don’t think so. Adam knows we love his voice. Max Martin loves his voice.
I don’t think that’s what he meant by that statement, but luval I know you won’t be convinced until you hear it.
I will be very disappointed if that’s the case, and his voice is lost among the music.
Of course for us, any music covering the most minute bit of his voice is too much!
I think he will always be changing the direction of his music as long as he is recording albums. That’s him. Evolving as he goes!
Thanks guys for the recaps…is it worse now that you dont know the direction of his new music? Im getting a bit antsy…Its the first time for me i am in this situation… Waiting for the music to come out not knowing what to expect

Lol, Nkd , you are right that I won’t be convinced until release day! Although lately he’s been saying the new album is “for his fans” which may mean more voice.
May I just add, let’s not forget the wrench thrown into the single/album releases of Trespassing by the release of the “bastard” albums, masquerading as Adam’s new music, the lawsuits, etc. Nightmare! Can’t imagine Adam’s distress after creating his baby, and the betrayal by a “friend.”
glambotgram, thank you for the clarification on the hand pic. And yes, I’m going there: Never considered “length” to be the main “factor,” anyway. J/s…..
cwm, sparkle, my sympathy for your travails with mom and hubby. It’s never easy and pulls on all our strength and resolve.
I can say, was given the same mils lecture by ER staff when I took hubby there after falling off a ladder while de-coconuting a palm by the pool.
Going to start working on recaps/travelogue of our 3 Europe concerts soon – that should help fill the desperate hours until the single is bestowed upon us.
I too hope for some funk/blues. He’s had little spurts – Red House, that amazing ITLOTG intro in Melbourne 2, I Put a Spell on You at his Halloween party. But I expect an eclectic mix, not just one thing. He’s not Kelly or SS, thank the Universe!!!!
So sorry to hear about your hubbie’s illness and accident, sparkle. I would absolutely freeze in a situation like that. Thank goodness you were all at home and able to assist. There is a violent stomach flu going around at the moment. Hope your husband is 100% soon.
Too bad we lost the poll but the bright side is that we don’t have to vote against the little monsters. OTOH there is drummer poll out there this morning and of course we absolutely MUST do for Roger what we did from Brian.
I can’t believe that Adam’s cd will have too many “over-produced” songs. Adam and Max know what his strength is and they aren’t going to hide it, especially as they know he has picked up a lot of Queen and rock fans over the past year. The Deep House music is probably a couple of tracks and for all we know they are bonus tracks on the deluxe version. Speculating about the music genres on his cd is fun but worrying isn’t.
The fan skirmishes of the last few days have provoked an article on the Biggest Leeker. I can’t see it in the last few pages so I am providing the link (with apologies if it has already been posted):
http://biggestleeker.blogspot.ca/2015/03/new-guildlines-posted-for-glamberts.html?showComment=1426628102578#c9212937283992241926
It’s supposed to be funny but I’m not sure what to think.
Thanks riskylady!

Where did this rumour start? Glad I was offline yesterday afternoon and saw Shosh’s denial first.
Don’t care for the snark on the biggestleeker, TLKC – have read those BL articles before. Some noise on twitter as to who’s involved.
This.
It’s not about ageism or under-valuing boomers and seniors. It’s about demographics. If a huge group of teens started requesting a One Direction song from a boomer-targeted, “golden oldies” station, the station would ignore them because their advertising isn’t focussed on that group. The same is true with us and POP stations.
She is suggesting that, if you are going to request from a station, you should make sure that they are a station that cares about your demo (or fake your age/demo as some fans appear to want to do.)
lol…it won’t be long before the 20-somethings that started following him in 2009 will be in the wrong demographic. And I mean the real 20-somethings.
I suppose if someone wants to vote here is the link to the best drummer. Can’t have Brian win and not Roger
http://ultimateclassicrock.com/roger-taylor-mikkey-dee-march-drum-madness/?trackback=fbshare_top
I am not sure what to think of the article, ulti. It seems to be disrespectful to Shoshanna, who is being mis-interpreted, or to the fans who imagine they can manipulate the data enough to make a difference. It also intensifies the image of Adam as an artist with fan base made up of mostly older women, which is inaccurate.
Adam says you should be proud of who you are and we know who we are. We are core fans, we buy pre-sells, we tweet, we vote in online polls and we are ready to Shazam/Spotify, etc.
I am personally happy to know that requesting on my local radio station is a waste of time because they have my age. If any fan wants to help by requesting, then we can choose another station that fits our demo or we can make sure that we fit their demo
Thanks for the link to the drummer poll, luval. I’ve been looking for it all morning. It’s a one-a-day poll, yes?
In the US WWFYM did well on HAC and POP. The fact that there are more POP stations isn’t that big a deal over the long haul. Songs that do well move over to other charts.
The fact that Adam’s cd is projected to include R&B, house music and pop says that WB are set up to try various avenues.
ETA: Yikes – once an hour again.
Drummer poll is once an hour.
So True Riskylady
That biggestleeker article sounds like it was written by Monte. Not Funny
I know you are joking glambotgram but ITA. The Leeker article is just as disrespectful in it’s own way and it’s a bit weird because the person who wrote it is probably a huge fan. How else would they know about the exchanges with Shoshanna?
Was on twitter from 2012
“Professor Adam Lambert” on his vocal technique
https://onthemeaningofadamlambert.wordpress.com/2012/01/20/professor-adam-lamberts-seminar-on-vocal-technique/
i think this is new
http://requestadamlambert.com/2015/03/18/shazam-essentials/
May not actually be a fan of just Adam, TLKC –
TLKC, I read that article yesterday, and while I know that the BiggestLeeker blog is satire, it opens up old wounds and I still find it insulting and hurtful because a number of the descriptions are actual judgements used by some more youthful fans way back in 2010 and really don’t bear repeating. As a result I’ve always felt self-conscious at Adam concerts yet found myself totally comfortable and relaxed surrounded by the mixed demographics of QAL fans.
I’d really like to know at what age one is expected to no longer enjoy music or beauty and since when is popular music the sole domain of youth?! Geesh, in the sixties, my husband’s marvellous grandmother, in her seventies, possessed the entire Beatles album collection because she wanted to understand all about that music phenomenon and she thoroughly enjoyed it. We never once considered her to be anything other than sharp, interested and cool.

Twitter is going crazy over the Maxwell tweets.
LOVE the “vocals…as strong as ever” comment. Makes me feel like the vocals will be front and center(as they should be)!!
For those who watch American Idol. Jax would like to collab with Adam. He was judge there & gave her a “yes”.

angelowal No matter how hard it is, do not let anyone ever ever make you feel like that. To hell with them all! You do what you want, go where you want to go, listen to what you want to listen to. Have no regrets!
Thanks cait, those tweets just add the excitement! I could interpret them so that voice is strong but songs probably very upbeat. Well we will see. If we are still alive when the album comes… Too much tension during wait!
I don’t find BiggestLeeker article entertaining… There’s just some snark there I don’t like. I get what you feel about it angelowal & TLKC. Btw thank you TLKC for opening marketing business here earlier. Totally new territory for me!
cwm wishing you some beautiful rare moments with your mother! I am glad I live near mine, it gives us opportunity to spend quite often time together. She is not getting any younger… sparkle Glad to hear things are well now, it must have been very scary!

Love the comments –
Didn’t find that Biggest Leak article funny…2 of the comments mention Laurie as the author….wonder if thats the physic Laurie, Adam fan??
re new music…like that tweet. I remember when he was talking about Trespassing, the way he described it then, made many of us worry about what sort of music was on it, and we all loved it…so no worries. It will be fine
It is a fan apparently, ulti. The BiggestLeeker twitter account has identified the twitter handle of the writer and a poster on the blog has congratulated “Laurie” on her wit. The poster also thinks that a few fans behaved so badly yesterday that they needed to be sorted!!!!????
No way Adam would buy into the attitude of that article. His entire focus is on being proud of who you are and wearing it.
Chunkey has weighed in, too. She wondered if the person was just butt hurt or a lousy writer. (Actually, I think she was afraid some fans might think she had something to do with it.)
Yes, nkd, it is Laurie the psychic. The twitter handle has psychic in it.
She can be nice but she can also be a bit chippy. I actually blocked her twitter account during Adam’s Idol performance of NCOE a couple of years ago. She was littering the show’s feed with insults to Adam for “selling out” and singing NCOE instead of Shady or Trespassing.
With fans like that, who needs enemies?
Don’t feel bad angelowel. You will always have Ron and all the other Toronto Glamberts to make you feel part of a concert, you know.
Oh boy, Cait, you are really industrious.
Just voted for Roger again. He is at 90%!

Over and out (gotta eat!)
Thanks for the encouragement TLKC
; I shall just surround myself with all the Toronto Glam-mafia!
luval, you are so right, I’m not going to miss concert opportunities and I definitely don’t have any regrets except for the concerts that I’ve had to miss in the past
