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!

    Miss Chaos.
    For your and everybody else information, Yeah Right is a FEMALE. She said that herself.
    And here lays the mystery of MJ’s rules, because when I said, that it’s good to know, my comment was DELETED.
    .Well..I guess MJ read my mind..hehehe..

  2. Oksana2000 says:

    YeahRight is allowed to make all these comments, because
    1. Everybody is entitled to to its opinion.
    2. Creates lively discussion with approximately 500 comments.
    3. Quite often makes fool of herself,so it nicely
    counterbalances her nasty comments.
    4. Follows MJ rules if you think of it.
    5. Is an equal opportunity hater, just read her comments on
    other threads.

    Hi ALL,

    Can’t squee, can’t flail, can’t talk now.

    I’m very distressed, downcast and sad. Cry

    But I’ll be OK in a minute.

    After this I’ll go and listen to BTIKIM to my heart’s content, no matter if it’s not good quality or muddy or not crisp clear as crystal.

    I have spent 2 hours trying to download BTIKM, but no success.
    I’m at the wrong place and the wrong country.
    Dang it!!! (Excuse … my French!!!)

    Amazon mp3 can’t process it to other countries outside the US.
    iTunes store is not available for my region.
    I tried to create an iTunes account using my relatives’ address in the US. Still got rejected.

    Almost got postal. Cry

    Good thing nobody’s home right now.
    Sorry to vent my frustration here.

    See ya later.

    Asif have you tried AO? If you pre-order the cd from there you get a free download of BTIKM.

    At least we are not going thru Cook’s fans angst…

    Oksana, I don’t know what your parents were smoking when they birthed you!!!! hahahahaahahaha. Laugh Keep ’em coming though.

    Miss Chaos, yeahright is a Cookie fan. She is just jealous. No worries. Makes the blog interesting. Obviously she doesn’t have any of her idol’s threads to comment on, so she has to troll Adam’s. She’s not a Scotty fan either, so she gives his fans grief too. Cry

  6. Oksana2000 says:

    Something just occured to me, correct me if I’m wrong. YeahRight is clearly seeking attention, just read her comments on MJ, she is totally ignoring what people are saying to her, and is mumbling the same stuff over and over, so people are responding to her.
    It is so frigging childlish…

  7. cher says:

    asifclueless You have rs’s email right? She’s up now. Ask her to put you in touch with me.

  8. Oksana2000 says:

    Cher , are you sure about YR being Cookie fan? I would have to go back, when Cook had his second album out, but I don’t recall her commenting, or defending him.

    Thanks for all the help … You guys are the best.

    It’s OK, really. I’ll order physical CDs , many copies..to make up. I’ve done that before.

    nkd…AO is blocked.
    I requested to unblock it. They asked me to give them the reasons. I gave them the dang reason., but they never answer or unblock it.

    cher ..I don’t have rs or anybody else e-mail. It’s OK. I don’t think rs can help.
    I didn’t renew ALF membership.

    I’m OK .. guys …Thanks.

    I’ve learnt to walk a fine line at mjs.
    I’ve been there even before AI 8 finished, only lurked. I started to post to defend Adam and got modded a few times after the results and during AI8 Tour. It was the most toxic time then. A lot of Adam’s fans whom I admired left and started their own sites (PF and Atop) . I was left behind until I found you guys and we branched out to be adamlambertlive here. Basicly, I’m always here and committed.

    I don’t want you to be in trouble.

    My DH went to your country en route another country to avoid visa stamped on his passport. That was long time ago. I don’t know now.

    I still don’t get the itunes dl because I can’t access to itunes store. They block me. But I’m OK. Soon, Adam will sing it LIVE. Then I’ll be in heaven instead of hell right now.

    This is my last year here. We will move back home and I’ll be stanning full time. Grin

    I agree with eywflyer’s critique on the song. Like I said it’s SLOWLY growing on me but there’s no time in today’s radio for a song to grow slowly. People move on. On the smash or trash virgin radio last night the callers would say they love Adam and that’s why they voted. Not one mentioned they loved the song. So we’ll see!

    Just bought the song and I LOVE it. It’s become totally addictive to me at this point, especially now with how rich, clean, and clear the itunes download is.

    I’m thrilled to be buying new music from Adam again. Heck, I might as well just open up my wallet and invite Adam to take what he wants out of it, cuz the joy he brings me is priceless. Smile

  28. cwm says:

    I’m sorry asifclueless! I wish there were something we could do to help!

    I have a question myself. Did anyone else do a pre-order at AO? I just did, but I got no information on how to get the instant download of BTIKM. What should I be looking for? I thought I would get an email from myplaydirect, but nothing yet. Anybody else figured it out yet? (Since i already bought the song at itunes, it’s not a huge deal, but still…) Thanks for any info you can give.

  29. rs says:

    cwm, I preordered from AO, too (also Amazon lol) and got my BTIKM a couple of hours ago in an email with the link for downloading. It is gorgeous.

  30. cwm says:

    Thanks rs. So did it take awhile for the download email to arrive? Maybe I just need to be patient? LOL

  31. ms0712 says:

    Yeah Right just does this to dig at Adam fans, I dont get why he or she even bothers to go on the Adam threads, boy he really rolls with someone saying something negative.

    IKR. She bugs the hell out of me, so I decided a couple of months ago to just not read any of her posts. Helped my blood pressure a lot! : Laugh

    Oh, just downloaded my birthday present this morning. Adam sounds great!

  32. rs says:

    cwm, it arrived about noon my time which is 7 hours earlier that EST. Good luck. Now I have to find some appropriate songs to go with it on a cd for my car. Any suggestions?

  33. Kradamour says:

    cwm, I ordered on AO last night late and received the download link this morning at 6 am, so there is some lag time.

  34. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Maybe a Claymate then?

    Well, that would explain everything! Laugh

    That video of Adam arriving at the airport alone kind of bothers me. I agree with mils in that I hate all the cray-crays seeing him “alone” like that. He seemed so tired but tried so hard to be nice to the fans. He was exhausted, they were experiencing an encounter that they will remember for a lifetime – he got that and was trying his hardest to make it good. He is just the sweetest boy. Although I obviously don’t know the circumstances, wish Sauli had sent a buddy to pick Adam up.

    Oksana, it’s so good to see your posts – I missed you!

  35. Kradamour says:

    I agree with eywflyer’s critique on the song. Like I said it’s SLOWLY growing on me but there’s no time in today’s radio for a song to grow slowly. People move on.

    luval and eywflyer, ITA with all of your comments. The music world is too competitive now to release anything that won’t grab peeps immediately on the first listen.

    I just downloaded the clean AO version and the quality is magnificent, the voice does come through, but it still
    lags for me, I get bored after about a minute and a half, and it almost sounds like Adam is trying a little too hard (not vocally, but trying too hard to please us).
    I finally did make it through to the end, after the third listen. I don’t get the sleepwalker drift off into the sunset ending, now that I have heard it. Or the strange opening. (shakes head)
    I like it a little better than I did, but that is damning with faint praise.

    Live, it will be amazing. Can’t wait for that!!!

    Radio? Sounding a little dated is particularly dangerous (IMHO) for an artist who is already a little old for a nascent radio career.

    Okay, ready for single #2 now, please! Smile

  36. Oksana2000 says:

    Comment on MJ by one YeahRight

    Not if they’re a known biased fan. If it comes from someone like that lyndsey parker thing or that shirley something or other, not taking it seriously.

    I’m not going to respond to that YeahRight thing, cause I don’t enjoy discussion with simpletons…

  37. Kradamour says:

    Texas, I really liked your post:

    He seemed so tired but tried so hard to be nice to the fans…they were experiencing an encounter that they will remember for a lifetime – he got that and was trying his hardest to make it good.

    I felt uncomfortably like a voyeur when I watched the Helsinki airport vid, I have erased it from my computer. Adam did not intend or want to be seen, for entirely valid reasons, exhausted from another performance where he undoubtedly gave his all to the fans there, and I think I want to respect what little shred of privacy he might still have.

    Hope he and Sauli can just cocoon and reconnect and meet the family with only minimal intrusion. Cool Cool

  38. Oksana2000 says:

    To be fair to MJ, yesterday night (or rather very early this morning) she deleted a whole bunch of YR comments with corresponding responses. Must’ve came to the same conclusion, that YR is just airing her mouth. This morning YR is at this all over again, making the same comments, and peeps are giving her the same responses. Total waste of time.

  39. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Awww, remember this from a couple years ago?

    http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2T3fS0kT2vc/Sz-MLhWLioI/AAAAAAAADT0/3A6VQYMt25Y/s320/1.jpg

    IIRC, Adam and Leila were at Alisan’s parents home during the holidays. I think they were playing/putting together a Twilight board game!

    Thanks kradamour! Something about that video just brought out the “mom” in me, I guess. He just seemed so tired, so vulnerable, and so obviously trying to be what they all wanted him to be. He’s a real trooper. I really hope he has a wonderful holiday with Sauli and his family/friends!

  40. luval says:

    I would love to know who made the final decision on releasing this as the first single. Several of you commented on the “seems dated” thing. Yet Adam mentioned the new album to be new, modern and fresh or something like that. I don’t hear the “sounds dated” issue but then again usher, Jason derulo, Tao cruz and the like have the hits. Euro techno stuff is big too. I didn’t want to wait until his second single.

  41. asifclueless says:

    Dear All,
    I think you don’t need to worry or feel uncomfortable about BB at Finland Airport. I know you love him and care about him. (Motherly love!!!)

    I think Adam got plenty of sleep on the plane. I think he flew first class or business class. He was treated well. He would gain a few hours flying west from Shanghai to Finland.

    I travel long distance a lot … in economy class with little space and legroom to move. Dinner tray is always sitting on my stomach and under my chin. But after dinner I just put a sign do not disturb, have my ipod with Adam’s music on and I sleep like a baby until I reach the destination. Refresh and ready. Flying back east is another story. The opposite. Feel like sheeeeet. And then have to go back to work the next day or in a few hours.

    Adam and Sauli might have arranged this trip before. The glitch was that a ninja from Shanghai reported on him leaving before his scheduled time to LA. So that’s why it wasn’t incognito.

    I think Finland people at the airport were nice and polite.
    Adam was a little tired but happy to be there. It’s his bf’s country and people.
    OOOOOOOOOOOh …. Sauli in a robe. My mind went to the gutter.
    But I think it wasn’t taken by Adam. Sauli might have just got out from sauna and rested. His sister might have taken that photo. It’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

    Heart

  42. mieps says:

    I think we worry too much. I don’t listen to radio, and of course I don’t know what I would think if I didn’t know it was Adam singing this song, but as it stands I really like hearing it. To me it sounds ultra modern!
    What makes me very optimistic is the fact that radio is already playing this song, so it can only get better! I predict a lot of good things for the single and the album.
    Hope everyone has great family days ahead!

  43. TLKC says:

    Hi guys! YeahRight is a pain, for sure, but I love how she/he extends the conversation on MJ’s and makes Adam’s threads so much longer than anyone else’s. It’s like the Christians for a Moral America providing a link to BTIKM on VEVO. Their intentions aren’t good but the IQ is a lacking….

    I actually loved the videos of Adam in the airport. He did get a bit (justifiably) short when asked prying questions about his stay but, otherwise, there was a big beamer on his face, even in the cab.

    Re: being alone in the airport – some people think the re-route was a last minute decision by Adam. Very romantic! You’re far from home and thinking about where you’re going next and suddenly realize you don’t want to go anywhere except where the boyfriend is. Also, Sauli may already have left Helsinki, The timing of his big party suggests that he might have been leaving the city for wherever his family is.

    Anyway, in my imagination, please cue to “I’ll be home for Christmas, you can count on me…” Adam decided to turn “If only in my dreams” into “If only ‘cos of you”.

    Sorry, I’m a puddle of mush at the thought of them together.

    Have set aside the whole afternoon to download BTIKM (being a beginner and all.) Getting worried about what I’m reading here. If it’s not downloadable in Canada I’ll be very sad.

    See you this aft.

  44. luval says:

    Will buy when I get home. Lots of love for the single over at Mj’s.

  45. mieps says:

    It’s up to 33 (overall) and 19 (pop) in Canada!

  46. asifclueless says:

    Hi TLKC. Great minds.
    It’s good to see your post again.

    I’ve been a post ho here all day, so this is my last post tonight unless I pull a kradamour. Grin

    Thank you all very much … for your help and concerns.
    I shouldn’t have complained about my download earlier. Too frustrated that I just wanted to gift the song to many people I know here to get BTIKM to top the iTune chart.
    It’s not gonna happen.

    I doubt that is was a last minute decision.And being alone at the airport? If not for Shanghai ninja, who figured out that Adam is taking plane to Finland instead to LA, nobody would expect him there.Well, flying incognito ALMOST worked…
