December 2011 Chat

By On 11/30/2011 · 2,429 Comments · In Chat Threads


After a very eventful past month for Adam and his fans, December has arrived. Adam enjoyed quite a bit of publicity during November, including an epic performance with Queen at the EMAs, a Rolling Stone interview, a mentoring appearance on Majors & Minors, and his return to the AMA stage (unfortunately only as a presenter this time around). Still no new music for us to enjoy with our holiday feasts, but all the signs currently point to the lead single from Adam’s new album being released in January.

Update 7 PM 12/14: as per Adam’s tweets today, “Better Than I Know Myself”, the lead single from his new album “Trespassing”, will be released on Tuesday, December 20th!

Enjoy the chat during this last month of 2011!

    (I’m Adam- this is the first time this has worked out in two years of posting! LOL) Let’s hope that this is the month where stuff really starts happening.
    eywflyer: thanks for doing the poll. This must be a ton of work, but it sure is a fun way for us to pass the time and revisit some oldies but goodies.

    A few minutes ago I emailed acknowledgement of Top 16 votes for all the ones I have received so far. So, if you submitted a vote and don’t have a reply email from me, please resubmit your vote if you have a chance. I’ll be tabulating the votes and posting #16 on the countdown around 3 PM EST Thursday afternoon, so I’ll need any remaining votes by then.

    cwm, good suggestion about leaving the Top 16 ballot posted, I will do so. It will remain in that post, beneath the songs that make the Top 16 list.

    Did y’all notice in this picture that asif posted earlier, that this is the fireplace mantle that Adam tweeted a picture of before Halloween?

    Also what looks like album covers on the wall behind them. Madonna, MJ, and Bowie perhaps!

    Have I said lately how much I adore Sauli? What an utterly adorable sweetheart he is. He just makes me smile.

    jlurksacto just posted the link to Sauli’s brand new website, in which he says he’s going to blog on pretty much a daily basis about his daily happenings. His first post is quite thoughtful and philosophical, reflecting on his past year and how he got from there to here (at least as far as I can tell in google translate).

    http://www.saulikoskinen.net/

    He’s going to continue on his regular weekly blogposts too, with iltasanomat.fi. Here’s his latest post, translated by our helpful Finnish fans. Unfortunately, he’s been sick the last few days, but his description of Thanksgiving week with Adam and his family is priceless:

    http://www.adamtopia.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=sauli&thread=482&page=2#91181

    I LOVE that they gave him the honor of carrying the turkey to the table! I can just picture the scene, and it sounds wonderful, warm, and loving. Smile

  11. cwm says:
    12/01/2011 at 3:21 am

    I too had noticed that that pic was taken in Adam’s house, nekkid, and was about to post the same thing! I do love getting these little glimpses!

    And yes – album covers! I was trying to figure out what kind of art was on the wall, but they were too small to tell. Good eye!!

  12. asifclueless says:
    12/01/2011 at 3:28 am

    Hi nkd….good observant. Heart

    Somebody said that party was at his house. Some have seen photo of his house before. I haven’t.

    Wonder if he has light dimmers. Smile

  13. asifclueless says:
    12/01/2011 at 3:39 am

    Thanks jlurksacto and cwm for Sauli blog’s link.

    Love him,too. I’ll find time to read it. Also, I’ve been sick with flu for a week and then cut myself while cooking a few days ago. Had to go to the emergency room but luckily no need stiches. But the pain and the dizziness from medication kept me from staying here for too long.

    But BB’s music keeps me calm. Heart Listening to Music

    eywflyer…I voted for Top 16 a week ago but I haven’t got your e-mail reply.
    I didn’t save my last vote so if I vote again the order might be different. I hope it’s OK.
    I’ll wait for an hour before I vote again in case you find my ballot.

  15. cwm says:

    Have these been posted here yet? More positive buzz for the album!

    Get better soon asif!

    Now I hafta go enter my top 16 performances. I’ve decided on the top 16, but now I have to rank order them. I think this is going to be the hardest part!

  16. nkd says:
    12/01/2011 at 3:52 am

    Sauli is just adorable!

    Hanging on the wall, after some research, is Bowie’s Diamond Dogs album cover, Madonna’s True Blue, and Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Of course that’s what he would have on the wall! I wonder if there’s more on other walls or in different rooms!

    Goodnight y’all, I must go to bed. Yawn

  17. nkd says:
    12/01/2011 at 3:52 am

    asif, I’m so sorry to hear you hurt yourself. Do feel better soon!

    Now g’night again. Sleepy

    Phew – just finished voting. It was fun to think through and sort out my favorites. The criteria for me were performances that affected me most deeply – those that drew me in, kept bringing me back, evoked the most powerful emotions in me, and/or simply had me awestruck at the beauty/genius of Adam’s vocals. Looking forward to seeing the results of everyone’s votes! Thanks so much for doing this, eywflyer!

  19. asifclueless says:
    12/01/2011 at 5:03 am

    Thanks cwm and nkd. I feel good already from your posts.

    Now I’m going to vote again. Hope this time it gets to eywflyer.

    Wow, I just saw Adam Lambert’s name on VH1 as one of the five artist with upcoming releases. New music is actually going to happen and I am screaming with joy. I can’t wait to see all over my television promoting his new single and album.

  21. luval says:
    12/01/2011 at 5:53 am

    So no nomination for Adam. Glad I went to bed early and not lose any sleep over this. Would have been nice, though.

    Hi bridgette12. NIce to see someone up early like me!

  22. cwm says:
    12/01/2011 at 5:56 am

    Or up late like me!! Wink

    Disappointed that Adam didn’t get a Grammy nod, I thought he’d be in with a good chance for the long form video ( Frown )

    12/01/2011 at 6:17 am

    Hi everyone who’s here…early or late! I can’t believe a year has gone by since the last Grsmmy nominations. I’m just glad that Adam will always be known as “Grammy nominated singer Adam lambert”. Another show with the same old people. Maybe he’ll show up on the red carpet. The 2011 Adam grammy red carpet photos are still my favorite of his.

    Hope we get a good translation of Sauli’s blog.

    Off to work…… Have a good day, all! Smile

    I’m hopeless with picking out my favorite 16 songs. Tried again last night, but couldn’t even choose #1 (ACIGC (Idol Finale), Feelin’ Good (Studio Version), and TSMGO (EMA’s). Want to apologize to eywflyer after all the work involved in putting this list together, but be assured it wasn’t for lack of trying. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s picks though – will be very interesting.

  28. ultimathule says:

    Do you need the parentheses as well?

    Will try without parentheses. Drink

  30. asifclueless says:
    12/01/2011 at 8:59 am

    ultimathule…Please vote. It’s fun. Those 3 choices are good. I also have all 3 of them with my 16 songs.
    So, it ain’t bad.

  31. asifclueless says:
    12/01/2011 at 9:04 am

    Oh… I guess. Time’s up for voting.
    I don’t know if my vote will be counted because I don’t get email reply back.

  32. Ron says:
    12/01/2011 at 9:10 am

    Good Morning,

    I kept mentioning the Grammy’s recently because I was all but certain there’d be a nomination for Long Form Video. I really thought we’d be celebrating today. Sorry if I stirred up anyone’s expectations for what turned out to be a non-event. Big Frown

    I’m going to show my ignorance here, as if it needs further emphasis, Side Frown but is that Neil to the right of Leila in the family and friends photo nkd posted? Probably not. It’s just that, if it is, I’ve never seen him smile before which would explain why I don’t recognize him. Big Smile

  33. cwm says:
    12/01/2011 at 10:21 am

    Ron – that’s Lee Cherry, not Neil. Smile

    Asifclueless, just woke up here, I did not receive your vote email. It’s not coming thru for some reason. If you see this in the next few hours and still want to vote, go to the June chat thread and post your vote there. That way it will still be semi private ballot at least Smile

    Still a few hours left for votes, I’ll tabulate around 3 pm EST!

  35. rs says:

    luvall here is a great translation of Sauli’s blog and new web page

    Excellent translation: http://www.adamtopia.com/index.cgi?board=sauli&action=display&thread=586

    And asif, sorry you weren’t feeling well (both the flu and the injury). Hope you are healing nicely. Listening to some AFL while sipping a hot toddy (remember that hysterical interview he did where they talked about hot toddies?) should cure anything that ails you.

  36. luval says:
    12/01/2011 at 11:18 am

    I just got up from my nap.

    First:
    eywflyer: I’ll vote at June chat thread then.
    But my choices will be shown, right? Heehee…embarrassed!!

    And then: ..rs… awe…thanks. I love that interview. Yeap…I’ll sip a hot toddy -chocolate version.

    Lastly:
    And guess what…BB ..loves me..he really loves me…He sent me this for my flu (and my hallusination). Heart

    He sent me the Lambert Syrup. Big Smile

    asif, got your vote, thanks! Tabulation is under way…

  45. asifclueless says:
    12/01/2011 at 4:16 pm

    Thanks eywflyer.

    Should I delete my voting post from Nov. chat thread?

  46. eywflyer says:
    12/01/2011 at 4:26 pm

    Ok, I have tabulated the results! A few statistical tidbits:

    – 16 ballots were received
    – 5 songs received first place votes
    – 3 songs appear in the Top 16 list twice
    – there were three ties in the Top 16, for 4th place, 10th place and 16th place

    Addressing a concern raised several days back by rs regarding vote splitting potentially hurting songs with multiple versions on the ballot, relative to songs with only one version on the ballot. Of the songs that had multiple versions on the ballot and didn’t have at least one version make the Top 16, only one would have had enough points to make the Top 16 if votes for all versions had been combined into one total. I will give that song an honorable mention once the countdown is concluded, as it would have placed in the Top 16 if votes had been combined (they were split among two versions). All of the other songs with multiple versions did not receive enough votes to make the Top 16, even if the votes were combined.

    The two songs that tied for 16th place will be posted in a few minutes!

    asif, yes you can delete it from the November thread now, thanks.

  47. eywflyer says:
    12/01/2011 at 4:38 pm

    Let the Top 16 Performances countdown begin!

    In a tie for #16 we have:

    Crazy (Art 4 Life 5/19/08) – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBlmcak7cuA
    and
    Purple Haze/Whole Lotta Love (Cologne 11/19/10) – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kjry_8w7t7E

    The Top 16 post has been updated with video links for the #16 songs. The voting ballot still appears below as well:

    Sorry, language fails like that from people who should know better are a pet peeve of mine. But I kinda like the image of “taking down” some upset fans! LOL
