As July ends the “Trespassing” touring era now seems to be over with the last show at Paso Robles. But work continues as Adam is to be part of the Glee cast and also is guesting on Avicii’s new single “Lay Me Down”. It may be quiet on the touring front but there are always surprises. When it comes to Adam, expect the unexpected! Photo from Alikat1323 Smugmug.
Enjoy the chat!

    Yes, it was only a few months ago. Not referring to him as a performer but his look on stage. He’s so natural and organic now. But I know I’m in the minority…love the makeup and fringe.

  2. cwm says:

    luval, I think he’ll continue to mix it up – sometimes natural and organic, sometimes made-up and fringy. It’s in his nature. He’ll never be satisfied staying in one style or box for long. Smile

  3. Kradamour says:

    luval, I think it all depends on the music; we can always count on him to match it to his look. So that’s another reason to want to know what he is working on!

    What a coincidence – looky at what just got posted on twitter… the pics from Hennessy that aely posted earlier, all in a collage!

    Ok…mix it up…I’ll go with that and be happy. Big Smile Thinking Wink

  7. luval says:

    lol, kradamour. I knew that was coming!!!

  8. sparkle says:

    cwm– thanks for posting that soundcheck. I had almost equal amounts of pleasure when Adam was talking about making corrections to the sound and when he was singing – he is truly amazing and one-of-a-kind!!!

  9. sparkle says:

    On Demand had Season 4, Episodes 1-6 of Glee so I watched all 6 of them in a row. I had seen 2 or 3 of these episodes but not all six and I found the show as a whole better than I remembered it. Hoping they release the next 6 next week or I’ll have to hunt them down! The scenes that have Cory (Finn) in them seem especially poignant and relevant now. And Lea (Rachel) gives me goosebumps almost every time I hear her sing. Can’t wait for an Adam-Lea duet – it will blow everyone away!!!

  10. milwlovesadam says:

    I just got lost in that soundcheck.

    Thank you

    I really needed something pretty today. It was a rough day.

  11. cwm says:

    Awww mils, I’m sorry you had a rough day. But I’m glad the soundcheck helped.

    Maybe this will help too. I actually thought of you when I saw it, believe it or not…

  12. milwlovesadam says:

    sparkle, I’m glad you’re liking Glee. You can really see how Adam will fit in.

    If silly is needed, he’s there.

    If mentoring is needed, he’s there.

    If fierce is needed, oh mama, he’s there.

    If gorgeous and slinky and singing and dancing is needed, he’s there.

    If smirking is needed–he’s there.

    If costume changes are needed, he’s there.

    If a vampire is needed, he’s there.

    If rocking fashion is needed, he’s there.

    If smoldering sexiness is needed, he’s there.

    If gay pride is needed, he’s there.

  13. milwlovesadam says:

    Oooh, cwm, you are so goood to me!!

    Luuurve me some sweaty neck porn!

    It’s getting better, but, it’ll take until next June when son #2 comes back from another year in the land and city of rs. Yup. That was me sobbing at O’Hare this morning. Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry

  14. glambotgram says:

    I have been watching Glee on Amazon, I am just in the middle of season one.

    It is engaging, Lea sounds much better on the show than when I have heard her live a couple of times. Seeing Cory now makes me sad, such a waste.

    One comment I am surprised at Cory getting the lead to begin with just because I see nothing special about his voice, I would have thought the voice would have been a powerhouse. Feeling guilty dissing his voice since he is gone but was wondering what others felt, especially since he is(was) the main lead singer.

  15. sparkle says:

    mils – thanks for the list. Definitely brought a smile to my face and I needed it. Have had a rough couple of weeks – difficulties with my youngest. Kids – they love to drive you crazy!

  16. sparkle says:

    glambot– don’t feel bad. Most folks felt like you (myself included) and were surprised he was chosen for the part. If you jump ahead to Season 4, you can hear the dramatic improvement in his voice.

  17. milwlovesadam says:

    Yes, his voice was roundly criticized in the early seasons. He apparently got a lot of coaching and his voice did improve. There was a lot of speculation that it may have been dubbed as well. He’s gone now, but I did enjoy him very much. He had such a warmth about him. You always saw characters hugging him, with arms around him, like a big bear.

    Sparkle, yes, kids do drive you crazy! But, on days like today, I’d love to have him back here to do whatever he wanted!! But, they do grow up and start to leave the nest. It’s just so very hard.

  18. sparkle says:

    mils – thanks for putting my troubles in perspective. I can’t even imagine how I’ll handle it if any of my kids go overseas for a year! My H,T&P’s (Hugs, Thoughts and Prayers) go out to you. And, of course, you have Adam and all of us at ALL to help you through!

  19. Ceddies says:

    Here is a link to Cory’s range if anyone is interested in taking a listen. It’s about 8 minutes of various samples.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfZC4Iylh2s

    Here is link to Lea’s range. It’s about 9 minutes. I really want to hear Adam with her.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF9ndZDNBrc

  20. milwlovesadam says:

    Thanks sparkle.

    I really love Lea’s voice. Her duets with Chris Colfer are so beautiful. I really loved their take of Get Happy and Happy Days. And their Les Miz Bring Him Home was just sublime this year.

  22. milwlovesadam says:

    Glee sure has it’s ups and downs, it has wonderful plots, and some bombs. However, when the music is as good as the stuff I just posted, all is well with Glee.

    I’m hoping for some moments like these with Adam.

    I agree, glambot. I have been watching Glee on Amazon (oh, the things we do for Adam…) and just finished season one. There is a little-bit-lost sweetness to Finn’s character, and perhaps Corey was able to bring that because it was also who he was. A very appealing character.
    Liked the first episodes much better than the latter ones, but maybe season 2 will pick it up again. The season one finale was just a hot mess, imho.
    As a high school teacher, I am just so offended by so much of it, but trying to get past that.

    Cory’s interview with Jian Ghomeshi in November 2009 – can understand from this why he was loved on the set. Boy was extremely intelligent – funny – charming – enjoyed the entire conversation immensely.

  25. ultimathule says:

    Not a Lea fan (from what I’ve seen – and that’s only about seven or eight songs) – but she appears to love Adam, and that’s all that matters to me.

    Adam Lambert Fan club
    ADAM LAMBERT was NOT featured on Oprah’s American Idols, Where are They Now Episode tonight; they focused on other Idols. Our guess is Adam wasn’t a good fit for the show because everyone already knows where he is and what he’s doing now!

    Sounds about right. Thought that myself.

    LadyNorth, I watch all my American television shows through this site. http://www.btvguide.com/
    I can’t get Netflix or Amazon membership,etc here and most shows, including Glee and American Idol aren’t on Israeli cable. Once you get into the site search for the show you want, click on episodes and then you will have a choice of different possibilities. They don’t all work, but after a bit you will find the links that work best for you. It is free and I just watch when I want to. I don’t download or save anything. If you have problems,email me and I will walk you through it. I just checked and they have all the seasons of Glee. That is the way I saw it.

    ETA. BTW, I can see current shows a day or two after they are broadcast in the States.

    Thanks, rs, I’ve been lurking and wondering how to view past episodes of Glee to catch up on the characters, so your link advice is so much appreciated.

    I envy you all – you appear to have such great rapport with each other and the few of you whom I’ve been lucky enough to meet already (with our inimitable Ron) are just lovely Smile I hope to join you for a concert ‘before, during & after’ party soon Smile

    Yo, M, it’s Doreen, finally ! Cat

  29. milwlovesadam says:

    krads, try not to be offended about the antics in high school on Glee. It’s like an alternate universe where the absurd and “no way that would be tolerated in my school” things happen.

    It’s often referred to as “Glee Reality.”

    Good afternoon. Just got back from Toronto. Lovely day yesterday with Ron & the Toronto Glamberts.

    So…not enough tickets sold? Now it’s buy one get one free. Yeah, thanks for telling me one week ahead.
    http://myemail.constantcontact.com/Newsflash–This-Just-In-.html?soid=1101910326477&aid=Tf1C1rgDqH4

    Listened to the radio for 4 hours on my way home. I am a channel changer big time.Top forty is horrible. Heard Katy Perry’s new song. Did not like it at all. For a title like “Roar” it was so vanilla pop & sounded like every thing else I heard today.Am very disappointed.

    Finally heard Wake Me Up. It was a Rochester station DJ’s “song of the week”. So maybe it’s just started on top 40now.
    And of course I heard WWFM. I ALWAYS do when I’m on a road trip. And as I said I am a channel hopper so it was such a coincidence! Reminded me of driving in 2010 to Glam Nation when I would hear it all the time.

    No Ms. Honorary Toronto Glambert, WE had a lovely day with you – thanks for coming such a long way but it was worth it , eh? Fab weather Sun , Fab music Music Note , fab food Cake, and fab company Blowing Kisses . (OK, the traffic wasn’t so fab, but who cares!) Glad you made it home safely. Smile

    Mils, loved your list of Adam’s abilities – one can just imagine instances of every one easily.

    Maybe I’m terribly spoiled, but I just find the Glee voices nice. Adam’s voice has so much more depth and that unique tone.
    But I do think he and it will blend well and make for an enjoyable show.

    Good for them! Maybe Putin’s been indulging in a little too much “Dutch courage(Vodka)” and has lost his mind? I hope the world hammers him over that massive, regressive misstep. This needs to be filed in the “What was he thinking?” cabinet.

    another year in the land and city of rs.

    mils, I know how much you will miss your son Cry (actually I was the kid who left the States to come study here,lol) but maybe this year you will come to visit him and we can finally meet. Clap Dance Handshake High Five!

    Welcome angelowal, We met at the party that TLKC had for me in July, didn’t we? Unfortunately, that site that I always use to watch TV has been wonky the past week, so I am looking for a new one, if anyone has any ideas.

  39. HK fan says:

    glambotgram
    Cory’s voice was the weakest in season 1, but it does get stronger as the seasons go on. He was the worst dancer too!!! Seemed to fit the character though.

    I’m not a fan of Leas voice (or character particularly), I can hear she is a great, strong singer but there is just something about her voice that I don’t find all that pleasant….much prefer listening to the new girl Marley, much nicer tone.

    That picture that soccermom posted, and the ones Aely posted are just beautiful. As much as I dislike facial hair, I loved that look on him Lighter, more natural with the hair down, made him look young and gorgeous.

    welcome angelowalSmile

  40. HK fan says:

    Was just watching a bit of the teen choice awards with Lea and Glee winning for best comedy and best comedy actor….really don’t get it, I have never classed Glee as a comedy….
    Moving speech though.

  41. milwlovesadam says:

    And Nurse Jackie is in the comedy category too. I don’t get that at all either.

    rs, thanks for your thoughts. I would love to meet you when we go to visit!! ( He flew by way of Toronto to Tel Aviv , he’s there and put his bags down. Whew!! ) Airplane

  42. milwlovesadam says:

    Welcome angelowal. It’s a nice sandbox here. Feel free to post anything and post often! It’ll give my fingers a break.

    Just curious, how did you find us? Were you a lurker? Do you know somebody here? I find it interesting…..

    Those pics with his brown hair down and his eyes so soft and that soft ginger beard, oh my, that is a kind of rare beauty that should be on billboards and have a mural.

    Yep, a mural, oh wait, that could cause disasters. Car accidents, people tripping and falling, slipping and tripping, dazed and confused, staring and drooling en masse.

    Could be a public safety issue. I withdraw my idea.

    Dammit.

  43. TLKC says:

    Angelowal is one of the Toronto FAB5 – we’ve been roadtripping together since early GNT. Ron talked us all into signing up here early on. Very bummed that I wasn’t on here last night to enjoy her repartee.

    Sorry you had a bad day yesterday, mils. Adam is a great way to forget your troubles.

    That soft, hair-down pic is one of my favourites, too. He looks like a Beatle.

  44. TLKC says:

    LOVE the acapella Chokehold from the Kiev rehearsal, cwm. Lovely. That song insinuates itself into your brain and won’t let go. Whenever I hear it, I end up walking around all day with it running in my head.

  45. TLKC says:

    LOL Krad, which part of the McKinley High approach to education did you find annoying – all of it?

    I recently read an article from a wanna-be intern at Vogue complaining about the unreality of Kurt getting editorial an assistant job at Vogue with no credentials. The gist of all responses to her were: “look at the SCHOOL.”

    I have a hard time with Sue but the whole school is pretty much out-to-lunch reality-wise.

  46. TLKC says:

    Just watched “Dreamed a Dream” – Idina played Rachel’s mother, didn’t she? That was beautiful mils.

  47. TLKC says:

    I can’t wait to see Putin trying to avoid a photo with those rainbow flags in the frame. What will the Russian media do, crop all the pic’s?

    TeeHee, at the party I went to a couple of years ago there was also an Adam edible picture cake.

    Nobody could cut or eat the face.

    But we sure ate every other last inch of him, erm, the cake!!

    Oh yes that cake was so pretty – Milkywayfairy ate his legs last night, LOL. What will she devour next, I wonder, or will it just be a lickin’?
    Thanks to all for the friendly welcome to your unique site, and so sorry to TLKC for misspelling her name – I always do that – duh!!!!
