After a very busy month of July which featured 11 concerts (5 with Queen and 6 solo – including the epic Fantasy Springs event pictured above), August begins with a short period of rest for Adam. However, as he tweeted a couple of days ago, we can expect the third single from Trespassing to be announced sometime early this month. Later in the month, Adam will head to Japan and Australia for album promo and a few concerts as well. We are also anxiously waiting to learn if Adam will be a judge or have some other regular role in the upcoming season of American Idol. In the meantime, enjoy the chat!

    WOW! My friend ordered FAULT for all of us and she got them, luckily, it would seem. I hope mils has a great trip. I can imagine her playing Adam repeatedly on the car audio system. I hope hubby likes Adam. I think Adam-widowers are a long-suffering, patient and delightful breed.

    Hello Gorgeous

    Enjoy every moment of quality time with hubby.

    We’ll always be here for you and look forward to when we see you again.

  3. nkd says:

    It might be starting next week but Adam hadn’t heard anything as of Tuesday morning, so it’s unlikely he will be part of the panel, if this is the case.

    So he said! Wink

    He also said he was taking this week to catch up on non career related things, so what’s next week?

  4. jlurksacto says:

    At this point does anyone believe anything Adam says concerning the Idol
    judges chair. If he didn’t have it, he would say so. And concerts/events
    would be scheduled. He has nothing scheduled all of Sept and thru Oct 13th.
    A lot of open dates when he could be performing and making money. Oops,
    forgot 1 Sept in LA.

    Peeps in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario received DVD today mailed on Aug 20th
    1st class. US and Canada are hiring the oldest and slowest turtles for
    cross border mail. Sloooooooooooow.

  5. nkd says:

    If he didn’t have it, he would say so.

    I agree! But this is making me a little crazy! Confused Dazed

    Hi nkd!

    My question is, why did Adam cancel his interview with Cooke to, for all appearances, get back to the U.S. for this BIG ANNOUNCEMENT that was supposed to happen on Tuesday that led a lot of us to believe that it had something to do with American Idol?

    Just … being … a … little … curious. Laugh

  7. jlurksacto says:

    No one said why the interview was cancelled. Sure were a lot of assumptions tho

  8. dcglam says:

    Curious over here as well…

    I wonder why Adam was in the media at the beginning, but then seemed to have disappeared. Same with Randy Jackson. Zillion of other wannabes have come and gone throughout the past month, but no mention of either Adam or Randy. Let’s face it, we really don’t know for sure what is going on with Randy either. He should be an important piece to this puzzle. I feel that Adam either has it or he doesn’t. If he is still just being considered, then why isn’t he getting the press like others in the same boat? We have heard nothing in weeks (other than from Adam himself). We all know how noncommittal those responses have been. I have also noticed that the media has been relatively quiet lately about Nicki Minaj, ever since her “serious” talks with Idol.

    I dunno…. I feel so confusled!!! Confused Confused Confused

  9. nkd says:

    Hi Ron!

    Don’t know why he cancelled that interview. Maybe he didn’t want to go back to Sydney for 1 thing. No clue here.

  10. Teri63 says:

    Don’t know why he cancelled that interview. Maybe he didn’t want to go back to Sydney for 1 thing.

    This is a distinct possibility, nkd, particularly since Byron Cook spends a good deal of time in LA. Why hang out an entire extra day in Australia for an interview that could be done more conveniently in LA at a later date?

    I DO, however, think Adam is up to something major back home, whether it be Idol or something else of which we can’t yet comprehend. His blank calendar alone is a blaring hint; the boy has been busy pretty much every day–give or take a vacay or two–since he finished Idol. There’s no way he’d just veg out for an entire month while still hawking his album. Another big hint, IMO, is the fact that he and Sauli squeezed in a quick trip right before taking off to Japan. Why would they have taken the long weekend trip route right in the midst of promotion if Adam were planning to have an entire month off in September? Furthermore, his tweet yesterday about reconnecting with family and friends this week implies that he has just a few days to do so while taking a breath before another whirlwind. It may or may not be Idol that’s in the works, but I truly believe there’s something coming.

    But … but … you know everything Adam! If you’re as confusled as dcglam and I … this is simply not good! Laugh

    Srsly, nkd Another time to get together with TexasWannaHoldEm and see Adam!

    Wonder what kind of show it’s going to be? 20 minutes? 45 minutes? An hour?

    I’m sure you’ll tell us all about it! Very happy for both of you!

  12. Teri63 says:

    Sorry I duplicated my last post. I don’t know how that happened!

  13. nkd says:

    I know nothing! Haven’t y’all figured that out yet?
    I’ve had 4000+ posts to prove it! Laugh

    But, but, but…..nkd, you must know twice as much as I know. I only have 2,000 posts to share all my knowledge.

  16. twilightmagic8 says:

    Btw, I have two extra UK Trespassing CDs, if anyone wants, will gladly mail to you AT NO COST (don’t want to be confused with Fault a-holes).
    luval says:

    riskylady, I been wanting to order 1, but put it on the back burner.

    I would be thrilled to have one. But, please let me pay you something for it.
    I’ll check back here for, what you decide, and arrangements.
    Smile

  17. aely says:

    First thank youNkdFor the heads up about the concert. We are so excited! Leaving tomorrow and would have missed out.
    Second, I am going through Heathrow both ways and have lots of time. If anyone wants a UK cd let me know and I will bring them back and get them to you. They had the CD when I left London in July so I think it should still be available. They cost 10 pounds or about $15. I will cover all shipping.

  18. nkd says:

    aely, will you be checking in here or is there a better way to let you know if anyone needs a cd? Such as will you be checking email?

  19. aely says:

    NkdEmail would be much easier because I am not sure of the web connection. If you send me an email I will get the CD’s. Do you still have my email or do should I text you my address?

  20. riskylady says:

    twilightmagic8, of course, no problem. I’m in Florida. Is it you or luval (as I see her name there) or both of you? Anyway, you can post your address(es) in this members-only thread here:

    Queen + Adam Planning Thread (Site Members Only)

    And we can discuss arrangements. I’ll check in tomorrow to see.

  21. riskylady says:

    Jojosie, I paid with Paypal too, which is linked to my Amex Card, and the Card was definitely charged for the first and second payments, plus postage. Maybe if we all go thru Paypal, they would have some clout to get money back. But from the tone of their emails, they really do not give a damn. So I kind of just wrote it off. But if everyone else makes a claim, I would join in.

  22. nkd says:

    aely, I have your email. If anyone expresses an interest I will let you know. I’ll give it a week and then email you.

  23. Ron says:

    Dear riskylady

    I’m so sorry about all of your troubles with this magazine!

    I’m a seasoned member of PayPal. It’s been my experience, talking directly to a PayPal representative, that if the online purchase isn’t made directly through eBay, they cannot help you.

    I’ve made over 400 purchases on eBay and was short-changed twice. PayPal came to the rescue and I got my money back.

    Another time that I bought something not on eBay, that never arrived and I reported it to PayPal, I was told they couldn’t do anything about it.

    I think it’s a deep secret as to PayPal’s phone number because you can’t find it anywhere, and I don’t remember how I got it, but I have it.

    1-402-935-2050

    I hope if you speak with someone there that they’ll be able to help you.

  24. nkd says:

    riskylady, I sent them another email tonight. I’ll see what response I get if any, but I do think complaining to paypal may be one step. If not through them then maybe to the card companies. I really want my magazines though! Frown

    ETA After reading Ron’s post, maybe we are just out the money and no mags. Cry

    Thank you for the number Ron. Kiss

  25. riskylady says:

    Hmmm, Ron, interesting. But nowadays, Paypal pays everywhere, almost every online seller accepts Paypal, and this magazine had their own Paypal account. I would think if Paypal wants credibility, they would be interested in vendors delivering their merchandise. At the least, they could suspend the magazine’s Paypal acct. Maybe I’ll give them a call, so thanks for the number. If this many of us didn’t get their magazines, there must be a sizeable number of people out there, too IMHO.

    Look at all of these Adams! Rolls Eyes

    They even have the air canisters!

  28. TLKC says:

    Can’t believe I’m saying this but TMZ gives me hope that things are going in the right direction. The thing is, Adam said in his first twitter party that the Idol issue was stressing him, which suggests he hadn’t heard anything yet. (He wasn’t alert enough to be cagey – he was completely unfiltered that night.)

    Of course, it was his first night back and follow-up stuff probably wouldn’t have happened on his first day back but he would know if he had a meeting with them, wouldn’t he?

    It is also very possible that Adam’s early return had to do with his last-minute Melbourne gig and not wanting to go back to Sydney for one radio interview. We were a bit nutty last week. His Idol news made us very giddy.

    IF, as TMZ says, Nicki isn’t signed, that may be why Adam hasn’t heard anything. I firmly believe that he makes most sense in a panel with her. Good news morning.

  29. TLKC says:

    OMG nkd! Those dolls are so cute. I hope someone tweets that to Adam. I also love those one-of-a-kind fabric dolls as well. I would definitely buy one if they were for sale. The Red Dragon jacket is my favourite.

  30. TLKC says:

    MJ has now posted the TMZ article and re-iterated that a 4th judge is in the offing. That position is apparently up-in-the-air, which is in line with Adam’s position.

    Also, the Biebs was offered $25 million??? That’s the National Enquirer.

  31. dcglam says:

    More possible AI news…

    http://www.showbizspy.com/article/250925/nicki-minajs-pepsi-deal-holds-back-american-idol-contract.html

    “Producers had hoped to get Enrique Iglesias, but he’s a private guy and doesn’t want to expose his life to the show.”

  32. adamized says:

    Hmmm, it is getting curiouser and curiouser as Alice would say. Isn’t Keith Urban a done deal? The TMZ article doesn’t say that. Really, I think there is less scrutiny, manipulations, and backroom deals than our presidential election!

    I for one and trying to keep the faith and hope our BB gets what he wants. Unless something turns it around I can’t imagine AI continuing for many more seasons. Why not go out with a flash?

    Maybe this is just the quiet before the storm. Adam’s selection is such a no brainer IMO. He’s cheap, easy on the eyes, knows how to judge the whole package, is diplomatic yet far from boring. Come on folks, let’s presume he has it unless told otherwise.

  33. riskylady says:

    twilightmagic8, you have mail.

    Hi everyone! I’m back from my trip to the Big Apple – had such a wonderful time, saw Jersey Boys and Newsies, visited many beautiful tourist sites, ate alot of good food, drank my first beer (hard to find a slice of pizza and a glass of Chardonnay.. but the beer was not bad, I must say!) and walked so much that I came home 2 pounds lighter than when I went, lol. Daughter is adjusting to college move very well, much better than I even dreamed of. So yes, I miss her terribly, but am so enjoying her daily updates and excitement!

    ETA: Or did we decide we weren’t going to believe anything until it came straight from Idol?

  39. Ron says:

    I know that Kerry Kolsch isn’t very popular or that’s the impression I’ve gotten from some of the posts here. But she has written a thoroughly detailed, lengthy and fascinating article if you’re interested in numbers and statistics.

    Did you help her write this eywflyer?! Smile

    As I mentioned, it’s a long read (take notes) Big Smile but numbers are numbers and facts are facts and, in that regard, it’s quite uplifting and very encouraging.

  40. sparkle says:

    Really enjoyed reading Kolsch’s article, Ron – thanks for bringing it here!! It gives numbers and analysis that support my sincere belief, that I have held since watching Adam sing Satisfaction on American Idol, that he had the talent to be the best AI contestant of all time!

    Who has the Grammy submission rules, such as eligible dates?

    I had a thought about the single release, maybe it’s for Grammy eligibility purposes and also to tie in with PLL. Isn’t it sometime in September?
    It’s too late for this next single to hit for Grammy consideration for 2013, so why not hold it back until after the qualifying time for the next year’s awards. The album can and the other two singles can be submitted this year.

    Adam did say he wanted to stretch this album out.

  45. Ron says:

    I don’t have the rules in front of me nkd but I’m pretty sure the cut off date for Grammy consideration is September 30th.

  46. Ron says:

    http://www.tmz.com/2012/08/31/american-idol-keith-urban-contract-judge/

    Keith Urban is in deep negotiations with “American Idol” but the deal has NOT been signed … TMZ has learned.

    Keith will be replacing Randy Jackson — but he hasn’t officially signed the dotted line just yet. He’s still working out a few contract kinks, but it’s pretty much a lock.

    As we previously reported, there will be a 4th judge this season, but we’re told no one has been picked for that spot. But here’s what we do know … “Idol” honchos want a man for the 4th spot, because they don ‘t think this show will work with 2 women and a man.

    Nothing really new here, is there?

    Thanks, Ron, that’s an interesting take on Adam. Damn, love the boy so much. He deserves the highest acclaim.

  49. jlurksacto says:

    Kerry Kolsch is the self-appointed president of the “Grassy Knoll” theory clique. She wrote a book about Adam with her ideas of why Adam lost to Kris Allen season 8 of AI.
    AT&T, Chic-Fil-et, Arkansas cell phone clubs, etc. And anyone can make numbers
    jump thru any hoops you want them to. Kerry has as much veracity as does Laura (miamiglamgirl),
    the self-crowned queen of the adommy freaks. Fringe elements of the fandom.

    “In his 1967 book “The Codebreakers,” David Kahn marveled at the ability of
    individuals to discover incredibly complex, ALBEIT nonexistent codes, which
    he described as “classic instances of wishful thinking” caused by “an over-
    active cryptanalytic gland.”

  50. Oksana2000 says:

    jlurksacto, does anybody take Kerry Kolsch seriously??
    She gives Glamberts bad name.
    I have a question, does your Kiev DVD contain full concert? (Including encore WWRY and We are the Champions?) I have one, but it was copied from YT that wasn,t complete.
    Re: Missing Fault magazines. I have no idea why it was shipped to some of you from Poland, but Postal Service of Poland is famous for things being stolen or not delivered.
