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!

    If the early sales are less than 54% in they won’t mean a whole lot, I don’t think.

  2. eywflyer says:

    rs, I apologize for not getting back to you on the gravatar thing. I had a similar problem for a long time and can’t remember at the moment how I finally fixed it.

    Almost HDD time…

  3. TLKC says:

    Ron! Ron! KissFM Toronto is making a big announcement at 11:00 mentions Adam Fans!!!!!

  4. TLKC says:

    Nada! Ron is probably right.

  5. eywflyer says:

    I don’t know when the HDD update typically posts. I seem to remember from the early days of FYE that it would always be up by mid afternoon Eastern time when I would wake up after working a night shift. So it could post anytime in the next 4 hours pretty much…sigh…

    Ron! Ron! KissFM Toronto is making a big announcement at 11:00 mentions Adam Fans!!!!!

    NOW what?!?? Big Smile

    We have rs with a problem, HDD sales, and now this.

    It’s 10:35am and I need a Beer

    Laugh

  7. TLKC says:

    I bet Adam’s gonna appear at KissFM on either the 28th or 29th. Hope it’s the 28th – that way all the GTA glamberts will be running all over town following him and the media will catch that.

  8. rs says:

    Such excitement! I will wait patiently until things die down and one of you can help me get the gravatar up. No biggie.

  9. TLKC says:

    Ron – good thing you plan on wearing your white suit – goes well with running shoes!Runnin’ Runnin’ Runnin’

  10. Ron says:

    rs, here is the Link for my sign in page. Not sure if my email address and blocked out password will show but it doesn’t matter.

    https://en.gravatar.com/site/login

    Enter the email address and password you used to register on this site and see if you can proceed from there.

    I’m providing the Link because maybe you weren’t able to advance that far to this page where you should be able to log in.

    HOPE it works!

    (Also, let me know if my email address shows, okay?) Not a big deal, just curious.

  11. TLKC says:

    Please follow @MIX949 before noon and they will play Trespassing from start to finish this afternoon! Big Smile

  12. milwlovesadam says:

    Good Morning!

    So, this “casual” fan of the man was sitting at the kitchen table, eating egg whites and sipping tea, turning pages of her local paper, when

    BAM Zoweee Cowabunga!!

    There he is. A full page length column of ADAM!!! Big huge article. Plenty of Adam. BIG. Same ole same old questions ( for us) but, nice interview.

    And. I could not believe it. An OLD OLD OLD picture up top. Very purple. Adam in the Voodoo hat, plumage furry coat and full on stage makeup.

    WHY??? He is trying to get past that. He has taken a gazillion photos since then. Glitter is “dead” to him now.

    Oh well. At least he got serious press here.

    I have tried to link it, but all I can find online is the older article from a few days ago. I’ll try again.

  13. Kradamour says:

    Morning, mils!
    I HATE that so many interviews show an older picture…those things are almost two years old, for heaven’s sake.
    But I am thinking that the writer just does a google image search for Adam Lambert and picks one that stands out – if he/she doesn’t know much about Adam, the badness of the choice won’t be obvious. Most performers don’t make such a 180 switch in such a short time frame.

    rs, I am looking forward to seeing your avatar!

    Was hoping to see sales figures. sigh. I’ll check back later.

    (I posted on the summer planning site, btw, for the WB and Freshtival peeps.)

  14. milwlovesadam says:

    Wow. I can’t stop staring at my paper. The article is so big. Hardly anybody gets such a big column. It is literally half the page, full length from top to bottom.

    Kradamour, you are right. Not very many people change so much in such a short time span. Of course, we know that his look can change on a whim!

    I still would have preferred to have seen that gorgeous pic of him in the blue suit. It is so chiseled and masculine, so much more appealing to the masses than his OTT Glammed up look. I loved it, but, it is more controversial, IMHO.

  15. rs says:

    OOF! It is the same thing. I have gotten to that page before and it says that my username, email, or password is incorrect. So I had gone and changed my password and it is still incorrect!

  16. TLKC says:

    I am a bit disappointed in some fans this morning. Cuckoo Girl made a crack about Kris Allen last night and Insomniac19 got an interview with Adam this morning in which she took a crack at the tweenies waiting for The Wanted.

    For some reason an unfortunate percentage of us can’t be happy with Adam up unless someone else is being put down.

    I loved Cuckoo girl but I’m just wishing we would remember that other singer’s fans might buy Adam’s cd if they have positive feelings about him.

  17. Ron says:

    The KISS FM Toronto announcement isn’t a ‘biggie’ for me. I’m not a Friends with Benefits member:

    Adam is coming to Toronto on May 28th to sign autographs for you at the HMV on Queen St West, and KiSS 92.5 Friends With Benefits can enter now to win guaranteed front of the line passes and a copy of his brand new CD Trespass.

    Plus, one lucky KiSS 92.5 Friends With Benefits is going to win a once in a lifetime experience…a trip for 2 to Montreal to Trespass into Adam’s world for the day!

    The Grand Prize winner will score…

    2 nights hotel at the Holiday Inn Montreal Midtown
    Round trip transportation aboard Via Rail
    Limo Service in Montreal
    Shopping Spree
    2 passes to watch Adam interviewed on live TV in Montreal
    2 passes to a private cocktail party where you’ll meet Adam Lambert and get your picture taken with him!

    It’s an experience every Glambert uberfan can only dream of, and our Friends With Benefits can live it!

  18. milwlovesadam says:

    I am loving that fan interaction on stage. She couldn’t stop touching him, his face, and saying such adorbs things! Very cute.

  19. TLKC says:

    A lot of photo’s are copy-wrighted and media pick ones they know are free to use.

  20. milwlovesadam says:

    So, Ron, can’t you sign up to be a Friend with Benefits? Does it cost anything?

  21. milwlovesadam says:

    Yes, I’m not loving the Kris Allen put down either. I think she was just ferklempt!

  22. milwlovesadam says:

    The picture of him in teh paper may have been from the Milw show on GN.

  23. luval says:

    Adam in Montreal?

    Guess he doesn’t mind peeps touching his face anymore.

  24. rs says:

    ron, your email doesn’t show up. It has a place for me to sign up as a new member. I wonder what would happen if I tried to do that with my ALL username and password

  25. rs says:

    mils, I think I saw that article a few days ago. I will try to fing it and post it. I was also annoyed that they used the purple picture

  26. milwlovesadam says:

    I wonder if the online article was the same as the one in the actual paper? This one seems bigger.

  27. TLKC says:

    Me,too, with the fan action – she touched him so sweetly and she also touched him the way you wouldn’t really touch a hetero guy – I loved it and hope he brings a fan like that up every concert.

    Her hair was cute.

  28. milwlovesadam says:

    This was the online article from a few days ago. Today’s is completely different in the actual paper.

    http://www.jsonline.com/entertainment/musicandnightlife/cdspot18-rj5b0go-151903635.html

  29. TLKC says:

    You know, I actually touched his face like that when we met him in Toronto and only found out how he felt about that stuff afterwards. He said Awwwwwwwww! when I did it – but I reached out slowly and while I was telling him how much he meant to me. (Plus it was freezing cold and he knew we had waited 6 hours and there were only 3 of us.)

    It can come across as threatening and I would die before I’d ever do anything like that to anyone I didn’t know well again.

  30. Kradamour says:

    Montreal??? (ears pricking up)
    If there is an interview, can a concert be far behind????
    Is there a date provided?
    Montreal…hell, yeah!!!
    Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile

  31. milwlovesadam says:

    Okay. Enough stairs on the page….

    ron, your email doesn’t show up. It has a place for me to sign up as a new member. I wonder what would happen if I tried to do that with my ALL username and password

    It does indicate email address OR username (and password). I’d try any combination of the above until, hopefully, you get through. You’re obviously registered. You’re able to sign in and post here! Something to consider, try to log in using a different browser. When I messed up and wasn’t able to see my avatar on Firefox and everyone else could, I WAS able to see it and everyone else’s avatars on IE.

    And I have no idea why! When I recently suggested to mils that she create a new profile on Firefox as I did, it cleared up everything for me! Again, I don’t know why. There’s no direct answer/solution for this. It’s tricky. I share your frustration.

    Try another browser.

  33. TLKC says:

    RE: the article – I don’t think Naked Love is trashy. I think it’s a metaphor for shedding your armour. It’s a poppy song but the sentiment is the same as Michel Tremblay’s Hosanna, which used nakedness as a way of showing complete honesty between two men in a gay couple.

    It premiered in 1972 in Toronto and the police showed up for the end of the performance every night because they didn’t get the metaphor either. One of the most powerful plays I’ve ever seen.

  34. TLKC says:

    I’m going to guess that Adam hits Montreal right after Toronto so May 30-31st probably.

  35. Miss Chaos says:

    OK I just watched The Beiber’s performance on Billboard Awards, with the sound off of course (because I cant stand that song and his voice?) Seriously a yellow T-Shirt, Neon lights, yellow on the background people, and FOG? Really? Didnt we see that on “Thursday” with someone that could sing? And all you can see is him grabbing himself, the whole song, not that there is anything to grab ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL Bye Bye going to the corner now Bye Bye Bye

  36. Kradamour says:

    Re the JBieber copycat formats:
    “Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery”, or so people say.
    He must think that Adam is as awesome as we do!

  37. rs says:

    OK, this is very strange. I went to another browser (I usualy use IE, by the way) and logged into ALL with no problem. Then the same thing happened when I tried to get into WordPress. Neither my user name or my email worked. So I decided to try and set up a new account using my name and password from here, and it said that user names have to be at least four letters long! So how is it that I have a two-letter user name if I have a WordPress account? Anyway, I give up. Cry I don’t want to take up any more space here. I have hogged this blog enough this afternoon.

    So, Ron, can’t you sign up to be a Friend with Benefits? Does it cost anything?

    Hi mils! No cost involved but I’m sure the peeps with the Friend with Benefits membership are many and have already entered the contest. My chances of winning would be about 0% I’m sure if I was to join today.

    Would love Adam to take me on a shopping spree! Don’t hit me but I think he might have more fun picking out clothes for a boy. Big Smile In case anyone has any doubts, I do fall into that category. Smile Wonder what the budget is for this shopping spree? Are we talking about buying a pair of socks or $1800 boots? Laugh

    Ah well, I’ll never know. It’s not going to be me.

  39. Ron says:

    Did you go to your Profile page here, rs?

    There you’ll see the username, nickname, and ‘display name publicly as’ boxes that you filled in.

    At the bottom, you’ll see where you can officially change your password to be recognized by WP.

    Maybe you’ve already tried this, IDK. Just thought I’d offer another suggestion.

    I haven’t given up yet. Wink

  40. Ron says:

    Very impressive Adam site!!

    http://adamlambertstorm.com/

    Probably everyone here has long known about it but it’s new to me. Maybe new to some here, too.

  41. riskylady says:

    Wow, this is a GREAT gig for Adam in London!
    http://www.easier.com/103121-leona-lewis-adam-lambert-rays-of-sunshine-line-up.html

    I imagine Sauli is going to Finland and will then meet up with Adam for a stay in London. Lucky, lucky boy!

  42. rs says:

    ron, in the place for my user name, rs appears faintly, and when I log in, I use rs, two letters. There isn’t a different name there

  43. nkd says:

    rs…gravatar doesn’t recognize my user name from here either, so I signed up from the top bar pull down menu, just make sure the email adress is the same as used here and make an account. It doesn’t matter what the user name is. Forget that sign in box on the bottom left of the page.

  44. Ron says:

    rs says:
    05/21/2012 at 12:46 pm

    ron, in the place for my user name, rs appears faintly, and when I log in

    Yes, my username is ghosted (appears faintly) because it can’t be changed.

    It’s the email address below that’s important and the one you must use on gravatar.

    Maybe more important, if your password is the problem and not being recognized, the Profile page is where you can change it.

    If you go ahead with that, if you make any changes and SAVE them, I’d close your browser and go an extra step and then shutdown and reboot your computer.

  45. Kradamour says:

    I seem to remember that when we were still on the Site That Shall Not Be Named before the creation of ALL, peeps were MUCH less computer savvy! I have loved all the good computer advice that we are able to share now because of Adam. He does seem to make us be our best selves!

  46. milwlovesadam says:

    Adam is down to #5 on ITunes. Adele, John Mayer, Carrie and Jack Black are over him. Dammit.

  47. milwlovesadam says:

    When that other site had her big changeover many moons ago, I lost my sign in. I emailed her, and she told me to sign in using wordpress. Shortly after that she made a specific sign in for wordpress. There must have been many in my boat.

    I am still a complete tech loser. I have to wait until son #2 is finished with school this year to even ask him to help me with changing my avatar. I don’t even know how to upload a picture of my newspaper article today.

  48. milwlovesadam says:

    Ron, that new site is new to me! And it links here. Interesting.

  49. Ron says:

    milwlovesadam says:

    Ron, that new site is new to me! And it links here. Interesting.

    No one that I know has ever used the words Adam Storm or referred me to this site.

    I don’t see the Link mils to this site.

    Nearly 500 registered members, created in 2012 … sounds fairly new to me.

    Beautifully presented, nicely laid out.

  50. rs says:

    So I opened a new WordPress account with the email and password I use here and then I tried to make a gravatar. I made one with the picture I wanted to use earlier with no problem. This time I found the picture, opened it to select it, and the description from my computer appeared, like it was supposed to in he box, but when I pressed “next” it disappeared. I thought it might be because the same pic was being used for another mane (my other account) so I erased the gravatar from that account, but it still didn’t work, even when I altered the pic a bit and changed its name. Then I tried putting in another pic and it didn’t work either. This is getting very frustrating
