Here’s a piece of good news about Adam’s apparent shoot today for the AT&T/Trevor Project commercial – this is the stylist for the advertising company working on the project:
Tape? What tape?
LOL oh this fandom
Cackle
Can think of some other uses, but I’ve been bad enough today.
Oh interesting theory. When I heard Adam sing that, I surmised that he was reaching back to the early months of their relationship when they were trying to figure out whether their relationship was a go and whether Sauli could/should move to the US.
But now singing Stay makes even more sense, and the fact that he stopped singing it on tour makes sense too. Maybe it just got too painful, or maybe he decided Stay wasn’t the orientation he wanted to take around the break up afterall.
Tape?
Uses for tape on Adam in a photoshoot….needs a list!
We need some mood lightening here!
.
Just gonna drop this off here for your consideration:

I’m with TLKC on this. Adams casual dismissal of the relationship today seemed quite at odds to me with some of his previous statements about being in love, very happy etc etc. Don’t know what to expect going forward. Much tabloid fodder from various bars is certainly a possibility.
All of that being said, it’s Adam’s business and not ours. I am sad to see him single again though.
Adam sang the song “Stay” as a way of reaching out to Sauli?!??
Adam sang the song “Stay” because he thought it was a good song, it would benefit the show, and be a nice segue way to “Underneath”.
That’s all, folks.
“awesome” “amazing” “professional” – sums the boy up nicely.
Hahaha ok for those of you on the fence, here’s a great reason to go to the Gay Pride show in Miami:
From their facebook page:
OMG could be an eyeful!
Mmmmm – that pic, cwm – me likee.
Ron – Adam inhabits every song he sings. He finds the place where he connects to it emotionally and uses the song to express that emotion. That’s what I meant – not that he was literally using Stay to reach out to Sauli to convince him to stay, but rather that he may have been connecting with the song particularly emotionally due to what was happening in his life.
Thats what I meant too cwm…but you put it so much betterer than me…
still feeling sadz, probably doesn’t help that I’m in a melancholy mood anyway, as its 8 years today since my mum passed away…
What cwm said.
I didn’t think he was using the song to reach out to Sauli either, but that the song connected with him at that moment.
It’s a beautiful song and was a perfect combo with Underneath.
I missed that heartfelt moment in the later shows.
Like One Republic’s new album, “Native.” Some gorgeous songs. Listening to it now for about the fourth time.
Miss Chaos – I’m so sorry to hear about your beloved parrot. Wow, 45 years is a looooong time with a pet. You must have really loved it, and that is a big loss. {{{Hugs}}} to you.
And {{{hugs}}} to you, too, HK Fan for the loss of your beloved cat. And remembering your mum today. Sad week for you; I’m sorry.
My reading comprehension must be off somewhere tonight!
I’m sorry.
‘sokay, Ron. No worries.
Speaking of the loss of pets – my dog’s buried in the backyard – died twenty years ago – still miss him – little Scotty (“Duffy”) – gravestone and little angel statue there – faithful friend.
As for Adam’s seemingly casual statements about the break up, it was an interview over the phone. It would seem out of character for Adam to say much more than he did in that situation, IMHO.
As honest as he is, he protects a lot. I don’t think he is taking this casually, but we don’t know the details of what happened or how long this has been in the works, nor should we know.
To lose a pet when you’re 9 years old is especially heartbreaking.
Dear Miss Chaos! You must be going through the same feelings one has when losing a member of the family. 45 years?! Your pet was a member of your family and I’m very sorry for your loss.
It was heartbreaking, actually, Ron – got very sick right after it from the trauma of how he was killed. Got the shingles – one of the most painful things ever gone through. The death of a beloved pet will do that – can well sympathize with others in this situation.
Time, I think, to take a posting vacation for a while.
Seeya –
I think it’s best that I step away from posting for a while too. I’ll make sure the site continues to operate.
I’m sure it was heartbreaking ulti!
I was just trying to make a joke about all of us being “29” and that your pet died 20 years ago so you must have been 9 years old when that happened.
I meant no offense and I didn’t mean to diminish your feelings about your pet.
Be that as it may, I will take my leave now and disappear once and for all and for all that is good.
‘Bye
eywflyer, I hope your post didn’t stem from my comment, but I have a feeling it did.
I certainly didn’t mean to dismiss your earlier post. We are all trying to understand something for which we have very little information, for words we didn’t hear Adam speak. We don’t know what may have been said but not printed.
I take it as a private matter that had to be addressed publicly, but may still be difficult to discuss.
I’m only trying to support Adam, not bring anyone else down.
I’m sorry if it came across differently than intended.
You are so much appreciated!
Don’t step away for too long, people. I’d miss you. I think this day threw many of us for a loop. Goodnight to all.
maybe this photo will help cheer everyone up…

cute toes!
Regarding Adam’s statement, I think he was trying to strike the right tone that would acknowledge the break-up but also minimize drama and convey that he and Sauli are both ok and are still friends. That doesn’t mean that he is being cavalier about the break-up, though. I think he’s just trying to manage perceptions with voracious fans and media, all in the context of a phone interview. Actually, I imagine it’s quite painful on some level, even if he and Sauli do agree that the relationship had “run its course” and put on a “we’re ok” public face.
There’s a lot of emotion in the fandom today/tonight, for good reason. We all love Adam and are naturally reacting to their break-up in many different ways, and the break-up also brings out differences in how people felt about the relationship to begin with and about what it may mean for Adam to be single again. It’s easy to misunderstand or feel misunderstood when emotions are running high and we’re all in a different headspace. We kind of have to be gentle with each other and with ourselves, and stay connected to what binds us together – our love and support for Adam and our caring for each other.
Just what the doctor prescribed. Thanks.
Thank you cwm. Beautifully said.
What a roller coaster of a day!
I love that photo, HK fan. Thank you.
Here’s another one that might bring a smile:

ETA: Thanks turquoisewaters and nkd.
Yes HK fan, that’s a feel good pic.
Top hat, fringe, toes, thighs and laces!
And then cwm brings the smirk and the eyes!
BTW Ron sweetie…you don’t get to get away so easily!
I just got up and read all of last night’s comments. As usual, cwm expresses things just right, both about the emotions running high here in the fandom, and about the pressures of having a celebrity relationship.
So I just want to add a couple of comments of my own. To add to your post ron , not only did Sauli get close to Adam’s friends and family, he actively searched out other Fins in LA and created a social circle of his own that was separate from Adam. I think that it was very important for him from the beginning to feel that he wasn’t just an “appendage”, however comfortable that role might have been. I loved their relationship because they seemed so happy together and perfect for each other. But in the end, I want Adam to be happy and to keep making music (I, who never tweet, tweeted that to him).
I also think that the comment “kind of on its way out” wasn’t offhanded or joking. I think it was another way of saying that it was a gradual process, but this was a radio interview, and Adam probably wanted to keep the language and tone lighter. BTW, a few months ago, I heard Adam mention “my current boyfriend” in an interview, and that stopped me in my tracks for a minute. He had never used that terminology before.
And finally, I am sorry for those of you who lost beloved pets yesterday. It is strange how yesterday came in conjunction with sad news. I read about it when I got home from a memorial service for my beautiful 28 year old cousin who was killed three years ago on a bicycling accident in Bolivia.
How sad rs…..that was my worse fear when my daughter cycled down Death Road in Bolivia 3 years ago.
I like to see tweets like this…

Had a great shoot with the amazing @adamlambert. To call this guy a professional is an understatement. An absolute pleasure

off to make dinner
I had to come here to read some wise and thoughtful posts. I want to stay away from places where crays and hatred celebrate. And despite the emotions expressed here I wasn’t disappointed, thank you. I’m sorry for all of you who have lost pets or remember loved ones yesterday – it was a sad evening for me too, because I’m still in the recovery process of my own recent break up – this was too close
Anyway it helped me to listen to Adam’s music – Stay, Underneath, Sleepwalker, Broken open… Sometimes getting overdose of those feelings and tears are helpful. Adam’s emotional expression heals.
cwm, all your posts are so well said, you have the ability to put into words how many peeps feel. And many speculations here about the reasons behind this decision sound very reasonable. I liked what Ron expressed about “Life happened”. Maybe they just realized that they are both in a critical point of their career and respect each other enough not to let it end to bitterness? Or they needed different things from the relationship at the moment?
But I don’t see anything wrong with fans’ feelings – for me it’s hard to focus only on Adam’s music, I’m interested and concerned about his life and happiness. I came to this fandom as an Adam fan with no special connection to Sauli, but I’ve learned to appreciate him a lot as a person and hope his happiness too. I think their love story affected so many fans, because there was so many pics where their emotions were shown so clearly and after the beginning Adam was himself so open about his feelings in public. Press loved them too, they just were so adorable and lovable.
I don’t know Adam, but I just have a feeling he might be happier in a relationship than alone. I sure am myself that kind of person. I sure he doesn’t have lack of company, but finding someone who truly loves him and can live with all the publicity may be harder
. I just want him to be happy but am not looking forward steamy night club pics…
I am happy that press has been pretty nice about this. A lot of press also in Finland, but nothing nasty. I hope it stays this way and we get some happy Adam news soon.
That was where it happened HKFan, exactly three years ago. And she was an excellent cyclist. No one saw it happen. She went with a very reputable tour agency. One minute she was there and a few minutes later someone looked back and she was gone. Fell down the mountainside.
rs, that’s terrible
It’s always so sad when a child or young person dies…
Thanks LadyNorth. I consoled myself with Broken Open after it happened.
I wanted to ask you how the Finnish fans and press are dealing with the break-up. I am glad that they aren’t being nasty. I think that maybe they are taking their cues from the civil way that Adam and Sauli are treating it and that it was announced after the Concert in Finland. I heard that Sauli has publicly spoken about the break-up, too, but I don’t know what he said.
rs, press in Finland so far has mostly been just the facts from the original article. One site speculated did something happened in Finland that lead to the separation, because the couple spent time together there a lot (remember aely‘s comments about seeing them together playful and happy) but then left the country on different flights.
And yes I heard that Sauli commented on his private fb account (which is not open, but this comment was open) that he’s very fine except some flu & fever and he hopes everyone else is fine too. I haven’t seen it but it was in the news. He’s in Big bear right now. The press has tried to reach him but not succeed. Gosh, I don’t envy those two at all this moment
Finnish fandom (what I know) was pretty shocked and sad (the peeps that are on my social medias). Many of them have been strong fans of both for years and are worried of both, emotion vice and career vise. I didn’t see any hateful comments, many told they will love and support both in the future too. But some (often younger ones) took it so hard that it scares me (amount of personal sadness and despair, not hate). But I see a lot of support towards each other, so I hope they will get over this.
It’s kind of sad that the end of Trespassing era is also end of Sauli era. It’s an empty table now – in good and in bad. Maybe creative people are more like that, they like to do big changes in their lives.
Because it is the end of Sauli era and kind of not Adam related any more, maybe it’s time to keep up with Sauli things somewhere else? I just ask to know whether to answer possible questions here or maybe in email or something? I probably keep on eye on his doings briefly to see how he’s doing.
Can’t be too sad when I look at this hotness – oh Adam

So waking up this morning and reading the posts makes me sad. And not necessarily about the breakup. Don’t understand the comments here of several of us about “stepping away”. Just don’t get it. So the site could close down? What would be said here that would make that decision happen? I can’t imagine. It ain’t that deep as far as I am concerned. As Adam has said “everyone has an opinion”. From what I read here it doesn’t seem like anything personal to anyone, just a difference of opinion. So What???? I thought that’s what a blog is for. And it seems like this is the way it’s been here so to let this breakup affect us is nonsense. In my opinion!!! Yes, I understand feelings and all that but personally I want more music! And the only thing (I said last night), was that I don’t care to see Adam coming out of the latest gay bar of the evening…drunk, blurry eyed,. But if it happens I ain’t gonna stop listening to his music. Note to Adam….Don’t do anything to ruin your voice!!!
LOL, I’ll give my opinion of this quote”kind of on its way out”….I have no problem with that. IMO it may have been on it’s way out for much longer than we think. And maybe Adam & Sauli have actually said these words to each other in private. Who knows? Maybe after moving in together they realized they are opposites and laughed about it. Sauli is a neat freak, Adam is a slob (he’s said this). Maybe Sauli’s smoking was the deal breaker. One of my brothers who is gay has had similar relationships and is also friends with everyone he has dated. This I don’t get but props to anyone who can do that.
haha…So maybe I’ll be the post ho here now? Mils? I will still be on the hunt for Bowie, of course. Lady North, I think you know this but Adamtopia has a whole section called “Sauli Central” where all the blogs are translated. I personally don’t see any problem with bringing Sauli news here. After all, he’s connected with Adam…will always be.
And I am sorry for all the losses in many of our real lives.
CWM summed it up the beautifully
Well said, luval
Good morning, rs!
So Trespassing went up 3 slots!
Aww…remember this pic?
http://twitpic.com/3eohgj
I re-read what we have of that radio interview and I don’t see where it actually asks the “question”? Wonder how the dj put it? We’ll probably see or hear soon enough. I think Adam would have said “I’d rather not discuss it or am not going to talk about my personal life right now”….something like that. Although that certainly would have had twitter and the blogs blowing up…the non information.
Am off to my favorite diner. Took a run this morning and now I am ready to eat grease! Will certainly check back here. The sun is shining. My Team the Syracuse orangemen playing tonight for the NCAA finale final two. I don’t care if they win or not! I am certainly in an “I don’t care” mood today. But that’s how I am trying to live.. the attitude of whatever…I don’t care…embrace it.
Gosh, how awful rs….I googled Death Rd when my daughter did it, its frightening reading the statistics.
I wasn’t sure about the ‘stepping away’ comments either luval.I’ll still be here, would miss everyone too much to go away.
