Cocoglam, congrats to your son!
Such a sweetie, our bb. 
Here is the amazing site of everything related to the Adam/Queen EMA performance. There are a couple vids of Brian being interviewed and praising Adam that I’d never seen until I watched them here and another with Adam, Brian and Roger with Adam saying that when Queen called to ask him to perform, he fell out of his chair.

Awww, asif you are so sweet to wonder about me! Thanks for the shoutout! My workload has been brutal lately, so I just have not had enough time to do much posting or even lurking (catching up tonight on the last few days of posts). My workload will continue to be pretty overwhelming for the next several weeks, so if I disappear for periods of time, it’s because of work. I still love Adam and I still love all of you!
On today’s events – I like Trespassing for Adam’s album title! It’s evocative and conjures up all sorts of mysterious and forbidden possibilities. To me, the gerund form makes it actively happening in the moment. Really looking forward to hearing and seeing how the title fits with the music and cover art!
And YAY for Adam presenting at the AMAs!! Another Sunday with Adam on TV! It’s been a great 2 weeks as an Adam fan ever since the EMAs.
Looking forward to seeing Adam’s upcoming announcement about the new single title and watching the fandom explode with excitement again. Damn it, Adam, how am I supposed to get any work done this weekend??
And how wonderful is it to hear Adam say, in that OUT100 red carpet video, “I’m in a great relationship. I’m in love…” and “I have a boyfriend. His name is Sauli. He’s my celebrity crush.” He is so head over heels for Sauli. *sigh* I’m so happy for them.
I don’t have a lot in the way of goodies that haven’t already been posted here, but here are a couple of things…
Adam and Sauli arriving at the OUT100 party: http://s1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc435/adam-pictures/Arriving%20at%20the%20OUT%20Celebrates%20the%20OUT%20100%20Gala/?action=view¤t=01.jpg#!oZZ2QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs1211.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fcc435%2Fadam-pictures%2FArriving%2520at%2520the%2520OUT%2520Celebrates%2520the%2520OUT%2520100%2520Gala%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3D02.jpg
Eek – what a long link! Sorry!
And a funny little tidbit from Ellen, related to our acronyms:

Morning, peeps!
And if we are coming full circle, very appropriate to bring back the snake!
Having had a night to reflect, and read everyone’s posts, I am cheerfully resigned to Trespassing (not that it matters what I think, lol!). Still don’t like all the sibilants, but maybe there will be a snake on the cover art to make it work. That would be cool, actually!
Ron, I have a lot of aluminum foil here from a craft project. I’ll make us some hats!
cocoglam, woot for your boy! My recollection is that the California bar is not one of the slam-dunks, it has a pretty low pass rate. What a wonderful gift to go into the holiday season with that behind him! (and how nice for you that he will be employable!)
cwm, I’ll be thinking of you under your pile of work – stop in when you can for a dose of sanity compared to the real world
So it’s really true about Adam and the AMA’s. Yay!! Now we have to cross our fingers that one of the performing artists call in sick and Adam will save the day!!
I like this, luval, but I’m also liking his presenting an award. Let’s just hope he isn’t paired up with someone like Sarah Silverman again — don’t want him talking about how much he likes penises! 8O I wouldn’t be surprised if he was actually paired up with Heidi. That would be a great choice!
BTW, nkd, I’ve been waiting 2 years for that article. Life is good!
cocoglam~ Congratulations to your son on his huge accomplishment! You must be so incredibly proud.

Kradamour…for you and Ron.
Cocoglam congratulations to your son and to you too because I have no doubt that his mother played a big part in his accomplishments. I know my son always tells me he knows if it wasn’t for me being strict, pushing just when he needed it, backing off and praising when he needed that too, that he would not be where he is today. smart
boymanluval that page is hilarious, looks like Ron could use some of those to double as his funnels.
Yippee, thanks asif.
Let’s start practicing — BTIKM, BTIKM, BTIKM…….
Pleasure,..luval.
dcglam,
Extraordinary BTIKM.
Mils, in Sauli’s defense, style must have changed as the style that night was unbuttoned or top button buttoned. Looking at the pictures from that night (only a few times,right) I noticed several jackets closed like Sauli’s including the editor of Out. Sauli was really into design when in Finland so I felt he was probably was current. I really like him and he gets better looking all the time. I even liked the hint of facial hair, as long as it doesn’t get too much as I really don’t like the caveman look.
Guys !!! I’ve been listening to this song from my iPod since Oct. 10 along with Uh Huh Her- Dreamer.
I’m so excited. I don’t know if it’s the same song or it’s completely different.
I love this song so much,even if it’s not Adam’s new song.
Claude Kelly – Better Than I Know Myself (Prod. By Dr Luke)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p2ZyHWQuK8&feature=player_embedded
asif – when that BTIKM was posted on youtube awhile back, I noted that a phrase “tried to pretend it doesn’t matter,” was, I think, similar to one that Adam tweeted. Am I wrong about this? thanks
ultima ..Yes, you’re right.
The phrase he tweeted is there.
Adam deleted his tweets already. He might have realised that there was a demo out there. Poor BB!!!
I think he is going to kill this song. His vocals are 1000 times better than the demo. He will make it his own..adamized it.
I do remember this song. Kinda didn’t like it.
I still see his tweets.
Twitter news flash”Dick Clark productions is excited to have Adam Lambert back after his incredible 2009 performance.” Pigs may be flying as we speak.
Love the title BTIKM but it doesn’t sound dance-y or pop-y or funk-y.
Title sounds like a ballad.
Pleasepleasepleaseplease let me be wrong.
Pleasepleasepleaseplease let it be radio friendly.
Pleasepleasepleaseplease let it be an earworm.
Pleasepleasepleaseplease let it be something peeps can sing along to, can hum, can sing out loud on our own.
Pleasepleasepleaseplease don’t let it be another lugubrious WWFM…
Agonizing here….
LOVED the page of aluminum hats, luval!!!! The one with the baby was adorable…never too young to start protecting one’s thoughts, I guess.
ROFL!
Kradamour…ITA with all your pleases! (except WWFM…loved it)
I like the cats with the tin foil hats.

I like the song well enough and could imagine Adam giving it his interpretation. The lyrics remind a bit of the happy place he’s in right now with Sauli, who knows “me better than I know myself.” Maybe that’s why he picked it. It’s definitely personal as he has said.
Damn. Just went to your link sistasif, and listened to the song.
Meh.
Yeah, I can picture Adam nailing it. In a club, on a tour, later as an additional single from the album. But THIS is the first new music in two years? the song that will set the tone (in peeps’ minds) for what is to come? (shakes head)
Okay gonna try to stay positive. Love Adam to death and will trust him until I am proven wrong.
This comment from the site:
For what it is worth. Maybe nothing. But I assumed the fandom would rally and be enthusiastic and there is a lot of “meh” from fans.
Between now and the actual drop of the single could be a fairly long and angst-y time.
I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t read it on their website. I’m watching for those pigs!
We have got to stay positive about this news. It could be that Adam totally changed it up with a new tempo and beat. Who knows. Think it is really really odd that he deleted the tweet.
I am taking things one day at a time. For now all of my cosmic wishes are targeted on Adam having a full head of hair at the AMA’s. Hopefully he has way too much to do between Thursday and tomorrow to even think of shaving.
To me that song sounds like elevator music. I wanted something really really upbeat. If that’s the song, of course.
If that really is the song, I’m pretty sure that Adam has “tweaked” the sh*t out of it. It’s kinda decent to start with. If that was the “demo”, well, it is meant to be tweaked.
Heck, we all know Adam will not only tweak it. He’ll pull it, tug it, twist it, contort it, bend it, amplify it, magnify it, glamorize it, make it his own, stun it, glorify it, floor mop it, and virtually make love to it.
( I know, I’m going to my corner now, as we speak. It’s kinda dusty in here, been a while. Now, where’s my Swiffer..)
Congrats cocoglam and son! Perhaps your son could help our BB? ( JK )
It’s so funny, my nephew is planning to be an entertainment attorney. For real. I’m just dying to talk with him about Adam’s lawsuit, but won’t go there. YET.
I like the bit of the song that we hear, if that is the song. We have to remember that it’s a demo, it doesn’t sound complete but it has a nice melody to it. I think if they took this as the raw beginnings of a song, completed it and added some beats, it could be awesome. I’m going with the consensus of the peeps that have heard the album and that it’s great!
Mils, ITA. I was logging in to say pretty much the same thing. A demo is just that, a demo, and this is AFL we are talking about. The song will probably be but a shell of its former self…if this is, in fact, the song. Adam is a genius…I’m not skerd.
We should know about demos. That’s what started all this legal trouble–the release of the demos that Adam did a few years back. We know they aren’t what HE would do with the songs.
I like BTIKM. It has a lot of potential with Adam’s voice and stylings put on it. I fully expect that he will punch it up vocally, rhythmically, and instrumentally. I love the hook in the chorus. I think Adam could sing the snot out of this song.
It’s definitely not going to keep this ballad-y arrangement. This is what Jamesinrehab (the London-based media guy who heard all of the candidates for single) said yesterday – note the bolded sentence:
This demo version is pretty and has lots of potential (as cwm mentioned).
No doubt, Adam’s version will be spectacular!
adamlambert Adam Lambert
Sorry for the accidental delete earlier. Stay tuned for details about ‘Better Than I Know Myself’. Release date coming soon!
I like this comment from the BTIKM demo:
Add to that the demo for Soaked, which I didn’t like either.
The basic song to me is pretty and I like the lyrics. I have faith in Adam, who was able to tweak the hell out of some of the classics he sang on Idol, so I will look forward to whatever he did with this song (if it even is the same song). Claude Kelly wrote CLYG, remember?
Also, it’s not impossible that some of us may not like the first single, or other songs on the album. I don’t much like Pick You Up or Music Again, but others LOVE them…but as a fan, I will still support him no matter what (well, not if he becomes a drug-addled freak like MJ, but don’t see that happening).
Yes, I know if this is the song it will be tweaked and call me crazy but to me 38 seconds in:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p2ZyHWQuK8&feature=player_embedded
sounds like 34 seconds in:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dicb2NFI36s
both produced by Dr. Luke.
I can’t wait to hear his version either.
Adam will change it up tempo, current, and radio frindly.
Right now, he needs radio hit songs and I think he’ll have the rest of the songs from the album to please us all.
If he is happy with his first single here, I’m happy too.
Remember … Adam is a perfectionist. Not just a perfectionist, but an EXTRAORDINARY perfectionist.
Trust him. Adam can sing a phone book, right?
11/19/10 – the Glam Nation Tour performs at the sold out Gloria in Cologne, Germany (with another PH/WLL encore):
http://www.adamlambertlive.org/2011/gnt-cologne-germany-111910
Please post any additional Top 16 nominees this afternoon or tonight, I’ll post the voting ballot on Sunday.
Another day of angst – lol
And the day it drops – think I’ll hide under the bed.
MJ will probably be there with a whip and a chair.
All it has to do is sell, baby, sell.
A year ago. Cologne. The stuff of Adam dreams for a whole year. We were wondering what “came over” him in Europe. He was sooooooooooooo sexually charged, so over the top, so free. It was Sauli.
Well.
Now he HAS Sauli.
What will the effect be on a whole Album???
adamlambert Adam Lambert
Excited to present at the AMA’s tomorrow! tune in!
We are excited too Adam, please dress pretty and no shaving, K?
I wouldn’t be surprised to see a fresh shave. Supposed to be hip or modern or something.
Haha I left the house and I can’t remember the title of the song. It has an awful lot of words’
LOL…. I have to laugh because that was my very first impression when I heard the title. It will become a household phrase before we know it. My hubby still likes to say to me at appropriate times, “Whataya Want From Me?”
And let’s hope no gay jokes, no peen jokes, just music please.
Oh. And step away from the shaver.
Did any of you notice that a whole “kit” from Remington was part of the EMTV goodie bag?
TeeHee: let’s just leave the peen jokes to Home Planet. They do them so much betterer over there!!
I was recently reading an article that talked about Rihanna and her new album that is due out on Monday. It further mentioned that she would probably be performing (and promoting) this music at the 2012 Grammy Awards in February. Of course, my wheels are turning and wondering if Adam’s single would be out in time for him to perform. After all, he is a Grammy nominee and would fit in perfectly with the other performers on the show. I’m hoping that his label is thinking in this direction. This would be a huge platform!
Wondering if the song title refers to us Glamberts too in a way. We seem to know him better than he knows himself. He has alluded to such in interviews.
dcglam, that would be just incredible. And just may happen…
