After what has seemed like an eternally long wait since Adam’s Glam Nation/FYE era ended, we have finally arrived at May 2012 – the month that Adam’s new album “Trespassing” will be released! The album will drop in the U.S. & Canada on May 15th. Lucky fans in New Zealand & Japan will get the album a few days earlier on May 11th, Australia & Germany a few days later on May 18th, while some other European countries (U.K., Ireland, France) will have to wait until July. In addition to the album release, we can look forward to three concerts with Adam headlining this month, the KRZ Summer Bash in Wilkes-Barre PA on May 25th, at Six Flags New England on May 26th, and the Freshtival in National Harbor MD on May 27th. We will also see Adam perform on American Idol May 17th, will have the official push of “Never Close Our Eyes” to pop radio beginning on May 29, and may see the music video for NCOE later this month as well!

Our featured photo for this month’s chat comes from Adam’s mini-concert of April 26th on the Jimmy Kimmel show.

It’s going to be an exciting month as we begin the Trespassing era, enjoy the chat!

    Oh CWM, so many goodies!

    I was kinda hoping for Trespassing Good N’ Plenty!

    However, those lollipops could yield many an interesting moment. Hmmm, kinda naughty…

    RE: That MTV search, OMG, they have just opened the door on a whole lotta Glamberts. I do think that any of us could easily qualify…

    ANOTHER blogger review, this one gives an A-. Well-thought-out, too!!!
    http://davidatlanta.com/2012/05/adam-lamberts-trespassing/

    I’m loving seeing now a sort of theme going with these reviews: Most LOVE the flow of the album, and they agree with the placement of both NCOE and BTIKM in the album. Also, most like either OOL or Nirvana as closers. And most are saying the album has cohesiveness, and that it is chock full of great listening!!! Most only aren’t crazy about one or two songs. This is sooooo great. And lines up with what many of us have said, too.
    Even the int’l reviews sort of follow this theme.

    Ok, not done yet.

    For those of you interested in the back-up divas, here are a couple of off-the-cuff performances by Keisha Renee. She has a lovely, soulful voice:

    Rolling in the Deep: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCT2g2iowvA&sns=tw

    Also, she made a cute little greeting video, to say hi to the fans. She’s very excited about what’s in store:

    Nice piece on Trespassing in Idol Chatter:

    http://ydtalk.com/chatter/2012/05/get-ready-to-be-reintroduced-to-adam-lambert/

    Hey this is cool! #3 most talked about topic on twitter? You guessed it – Trespassing!

    https://twitter.com/#!/ayanaismusic/status/201878448195633152/photo/1

    haha Sony’d sponsored a listening party in Japan – and look at who/what everyone got to take their picture with:

    My Amazon Trespassing shipped – still supposed to arrive Tuesday!

    Getting really nervous about the sales numbers. Q3 on adamtopia says she would be drinking champaigne if it sells 75K in the opening week. Even that would be only 38% of FYE opening week sales, and would fall just below Jordin Sparks (40%).

    I still want to see 100K+, but I think that’s very unlikely. If the number is something like 40K, it would probably be a good idea to go to as many of these spring and summer concerts already scheduled as possible.

  7. luval says:

    Good morning eywflyer. I am nervous too. But then again I always look for the worst and hope it goes up from there. Q3 is pretty much on the ball about her numbers. Maybe GMA will generate those sales we are hoping for. And still haven’t heard NCOE on the radio although I understand ads don’t officially go out until the end of the month.

  8. rs says:

    riskylady, I love your in depth research on all things AFL related and the way you find the international reviews and articles. I will never forget how you told us about Sauli back in November, 2010 and we couldn’t say anything for fear of the news leaking out and intruding on their privacy. You are a true Uberfan and gentlewoman at the same time, the opposite of the ones who give us a bad name. Can’t wait for London

  9. rs says:

    In the last couple of hours my order at Amazon changed from “not yet shipped” to “shipping soon”. I guess that is progress. The estimated arrival dates are still the same.

    Still haven’t gotten my AO copy and it has been 9 days!

    I am debating whether to get a digital copy from i-tunes tomorrow. Will the quality be much better than the streams we have already and as good as the CDs?

    Adam Lambert ‏ @adamlambert
    #GMAadam !!! So excited!!

  15. Ron says:

    Good Morning America!!

    Singing with Barbra Streisand?!?? Well, they were joking but nice for this fan to hear both names in the same sentence.

  16. eywflyer says:

    Just got home from work in time to catch the end of the Pop segment with Adam – WOW he looks great today! Happy to finally see him on this show.

  17. asifclueless says:

  21. Ron says:

    mils, mils!! Barbra wants to do an album with young singers today and the commentators mentioned Adam singing with her. He said sure and when asked what he would sing he said, “Maybe The Way We Were” it has a nice melody”. You KNOW Barbra will see this … and see Adam and think, “Hmmm, he’s not bad”. Big Smile

    Fingers Crossed

  22. ultimathule says:

    Why would it be good to see as many of these spring and summer concerts as possible if opening week numbers are 40K, eywflyer? To increase his numbers in some way? Or there might not be a tour? Thanks.

  23. Ron says:

    Electrifying Adam Lambert”. Love the adjectives they’re using!

  24. eywflyer says:

    Ultimatethule, the later. Hopefully today’s appearance plus the others this week will boost the numbers much higher.

  25. Ron says:

    Showed him singing a bit of “Shady” to a studio audience to announce the main performance “coming up”.

  26. asifclueless says:

    sistakrad …see if this stream works.
    I’ll find more streams for you.
    Adam hasn’t sung yet.

  29. Ron says:

    Wow, they’re really promoting and building Adam up for this performance! So good to see them treating him this way!!

  30. Ron says:

    Very glad he already sang in front of the audience whether it was just a bit for the cameras or the whole song. That will get rid of a lot of the nerves he must be feeling.

  31. luval says:

    I’m stuck at work! Keep giving me the play by play!

  32. Ron says:

    “Kickin’ In” snippet with Adam in front of the audience leading into the commercial.

    This is great … he’s being treated with a lot of respect.

  33. Ron says:

    Here we go!!!

  34. luval says:

    Omg ran into a patient’s room and watched! Yellow nail polish!!!! He was amazing!!!!!

  35. ultimathule says:

    Beautiful man – looks so young, happy, and healthy.

  36. loveroftalent says:

    What an amazing performance….To be hitting those notes this early in the morning…Not many could do it….

    H really is such a beautiful man…inside and out….

  37. luval says:

    Found someone else who wants the cd. They had never heard the song before but loved it.

  38. HK fan says:

    arghhhh, I want to watch it…….any videos yet??????, or is it just a tad early..

  39. eywflyer says:

    Adam did a great job, looked and sounded so happy and excited! 4 of the top 10 trending topics on twitter were Adam or GMA related during the show. Album jumped on iTunes ranking too.

    He had yellow/black Trespassing nail polish on too Smile

  40. Ron says:

    I kept rewinding and have watched about five times in a row now.

    I thought he looked great and I DO want that jacket!

    I think it was a very, very good performance. Nit pick, I just wish his voice was more prominently featured and more front and center. I think his voice was much more distinct on Kimmel.

    He sold it though! He sold that song and I should think a casual viewer would be very impressed and that’s what matters. Attracting more fans. In that regard, mission accomplished!

  41. little dutchess says:

    WOW! What a way to start the day! Too bad my next gig this morning is the dentist!!

    Adam was fantastic, looked unbelievable and radiated such happiness!

    Loved the banter re: Barbra & Adam. Those are my 2 favorite voices in the world! I don’t see it happening though.

  42. little dutchess says:

    I totally agree, Ron! And, yes, that jacket! I can see you now!

    I told the duke earlier that someone on this blog would soon have the answer as to where it’s from and how much it cost. Come on, guys. I know someone on here will get to the bottom of it.

  43. rs says:

    NEED VIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    QUICK BEFORE I GO NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    THANK YOU Smile

  44. eywflyer says:

    Ron, I also thought the sound mix was a bit strong on the band relative to Adams voice. Nit picking though – casual viewers wouldn’t notice. Only veterans of 100s of Adam performances like ourselves lol. I thought he did very well.

    Absolutely agree with you eywflyer!

  46. little dutchess says:

    My AO box edition of Trespassing spent the weekend in Chattanouga;it never moved since Friday. Scanned to leave earlier this AM. Tomorrow delivery.

    Now B&N which was preordered in February has sent me no notices. Did a chat Saturday morning and they said nothing could happen over the weekend and I should get something Monday morning.

    Good Morning, little dutchess!!

    I wouldn’t discount it! If NCOE’s is a hit, I think it’s in the realm of possibility! Fingers Crossed

  48. Ron says:

    You’re off to see the dentist little dutchess and I’m off to see my eye doctor and have to get ready.

    Please give my best regards to the Duke!!

    Don’t forget, Glamberts! You get to see @AdamLambert today live on #VH1BUZZ! Tune in at 10 am!

  50. glambotgram says:

    OMG he was so amazing, and loved that they played snippets of so many songs, live Shady, Kickin In, and all of NCOE, Tresspassing snippet.

    Trespassing nails, fierce Jacket. I wonder if Ashley had some influence with the jacket. LOL I am so glad he took the whole band.
