Another month has arrived, the last one before Adam’s new album “Trespassing” will be released! February will hopefully see Adam’s lead single “Better Than I Know Myself” continue to gain airplay and sales. There should be a bump from the music video which is expected early this month. Meanwhile Adam will likely continue working on promo events in preparation for his upcoming album release, which is slated for March 20 here in the US. Perhaps with more promo being done ahead of the album release this time around, the next tour can begin by this summer? Enjoy the chat!

Update 2/4/2012: BTIKM music video was released Thursday night, feel quite certain we’ll be seeing plenty of it on VH1 in the next few weeks!

    I’m just feeling like the awesome meter is going to explode soon!

    cwm: yer killin’ me over at MJ’s with your interpretations!

  2. luval says:

    nkd…IKR….I can’t wait until he comes home to start promo here. Hopefully the video will help. There are some really funny theories on what the video is about on mj’s thread.

    I’m thinking he’s in this room thinking this is “himself”. Couch sitting, yoga doing, sweater wearing kinda of boring life. But something happens where he looks in that mirror and sees his true self…Pugh coat wearing fierce. So he morphs into the new self and is happily ever after!

    eta…or the Pugh Adam doesn’t like how he’s become so jumps back to the cardigan Adam’s body because he prefers to be a bore. Smile

  3. cwm says:

    Thanks mils. It’s good to have some fun and laughs with Adam. Those MJs numbers threads are so damn serious, and MJs seems to get so serious lately in general. Loving the lightheartedness of the video thread!

    Along the lines of what luval said, I’m thinking at the end Dark Adam will look at Light Adam in the mirror and their faces will be superimposed together, and then fuse together somehow into a complete whole.

    Although I do rather like justshootme’s (at MJs) choice for an ending! Razz

  4. loveroftalent says:

    @luvalI love your theory on the video..Would love something like that…Either way I can’t wait to see that beautiful and sexy man on my big tv screen…

  5. cwm says:

    This guy works at MTV and just viewed the whole video. He called it “very artistic.”

    Jeffrey Christian @jeffreychrist
    I’m watching the new Adam Lambert video “Better Than I Know Myself”. I’ll let you know what I think after it’s over.

    Jeffrey Christian @jeffreychrist
    Adam Lambert fans will ♥ the new vid (duh) Not an original concept (the introspective artist) but he’s is having fun in 2 roles. Well done!

  6. luval says:

    I almost kind of agree with the MTV guy. Although obviously I haven’t seen it, it will probably not be anything unusual or mind-blowing…which is fine with me. I hope it will just be a nice video and will go to number one on VH1.

  7. dcglam says:

    I hope it will just be a nice video and will go to number one on VH1.

    Glamberts will make that happen! Wink
    And Adam playing two roles….. This scrumptious looking dude seriously needs to be on the big screen in movies. Just sayin’… Razz

  8. nkd says:

    This scrumptious looking dude seriously needs to be on the big screen in movies. Just sayin’…

    Then seriously nothing gets done! Will be posting from my phone in the movie theater for all showings, all day! Drool Wink Laugh

  9. ultimathule says:

    According to posts at MJ’s, Christian is not an Adam fan and does not like the song – so this probably had to be dragged out of him – look stupid denying the obvious.

  10. luval says:

    Wasn’t it nice to see Twitch and Sasha in that “Trespassing to Hip Hop” video? They are spectacular. I would go see them anytime.

  11. luval says:

    ok…thought about the video again & read more posts on mj’s. I’m leaning more to the light room being a “padded” cell with bars on the window. A prison of sorts. Maybe he committed a crime…of love!!! Anyway, he looks in that mirror and sees himself…the fierce Adam…and wants to be him. So he jumps through the mirror, becomes fierce for a bit, but doesn’t feel right so he goes back to the safety of the light room.

    Similar to my last video thought, I know.

  12. Calgary says:

    So I tweeted Jeffrey Christian:

    gettingspending Calgary
    @jeffreychrist Ya but what about the non-Adam Lambert fans? Will it make them fans?
    jeffreychrist Jeffrey Christian
    @gettingspending Probably not. Lambert is polarizing. The pro/anti’s will stay the same. I’m in the middle w/him.

  13. loveroftalent says:

    WHy does everyone say that Adam is polarizing…All I see is a sweet and very talented man…

    I hope he is proved wrong about this video, but I guess I can appreciate his honesty…

    @Calgary…great tweet by the way…

  14. cwm says:

    Interesting, Calgary. I agree with him, though, that Adam is definitely polarizing. I think Adam will have a hard time winning over the committed “anti’s” but there is a vast sea of untouched potential fans out there who haven’t given Adam a first or second thought… yet.

    ETA: loveroftalent – while I agree that Adam is very sweet and supremely talented, I also think he is polarizing and always has been since Idol. He’s fearless, he’s dramatic/flamboyant/showy, he’s androgynous, he’s gay and not the least bit shy about it, he pushes boundaries, he’s sexual, etc. While we appreciate/embrace/adore all of these things about him, they definitely make some people uncomfortable.

  15. cwm says:

    Haha the peeps at Pop Dust have their own theory about what happens in the video, and it involves waffles and Ikea. LOL

    Also, check out these really beautiful professional photos of Adam visiting a German radio station today:

  16. luval says:

    oh boy. Adam is on Enews now! Looks fantastic! I’m sure video will pop up soon.

  17. loveroftalent says:

    I think alot of the time they are just using the word polarizing as just another word for gay…

  18. ultimathule says:

    Better polarizing than being ignored. Means people care and are aware of him.

    Agree with cwm – Adam’s bluntly gay and doesn’t hide the fact that he’s sexual. Definitely problematic for some people.

    Maybe Christian, too.

  19. loveroftalent says:

    @ultimathuleI know it’s better than being ignored but some use that word to hate on him…I guess I just don’t understand what it is about him that brings out the hate. I think it just all comes down to him being gay and I don’t think gay is polarizing though…

    I’m probably not making sense, Sorry….I just don’t get how some people don’t see what we see…beautiful inside and out…

  20. Calgary says:

    I actually retweeted Jeffrey and asked what he meant by “polarizing” and he said – he’s the type that people either love or hate… And it’s probably for the reasons you have all mentioned. If the media would just leave the gay thing alone he might get more mainstream acceptance. But at the same time, he’s adding twitter followers like mad. I think he really is an international star – Europeans, Aussies and Kiwis seem to be much more open-minded.

    In a way I think that is actually progress. Homophobia should become taboo the way racism has become taboo. Does not mean it does not exist anymore, but at least it is less and less acceptable to display it openly.

  22. milwlovesadam says:

    My sunglasses are polarized… and I like waffles and Ikea too…

  23. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    turquoisewaters, your post over at mj’s literally made me laugh out loud!

    After reading all the Mind Controlling Alien Sweater (MCAS) theories I am not sure I can trust my own sweater any more.

    Laugh

  24. adamized says:

    Love the way you all think through an issue. I was thinking the other day while listening to a tv personality (can’t remember who) talking about raising money for a charity. In the same sentence in which he is talking about something very generous and kind he made a joke about something being “gay”. I was appalled and realized what a long way we have to go. Hopefully people will soon recognize the cruelty of using the term gay in a derogatory manner.

    Adam is loved by so many people all over the world. He also is a visual performer. Sales of his music will be boosted by his live performances, his videos, the release of his music in other countries, and his touring. All good for us!

  25. Calgary says:
  26. Oksana2000 says:

    I think that this year Glamberts feel less charitable. Charity water moves with a speed of a snail..

  27. turquoisewaters says:

    Great article, Calgary! My favorite sentence is “It notably includes an attitude of indifference to having one’s sexual orientation misread.” I definitely see this change in a good part of the teen generation, although some subgroups seem to cling to old stereotypes more than others.

    Vids of Adam arriving at RTL radio in Berlin.

    posted by @AdommyShipper (interesting detail)

  30. nkd says:

    This is from the RCA press release. If your label can’t get the details right then what?

    (New York – NY) Global star Adam Lambert is set to premiere the video for his first single, “Better Than I Know Myself” off his upcoming sophomore album TRESPASSING (RCA Records / 19 Entertainment) on VEVO, the world’s leading all-premium music video and entertainment platform, on February 3rd. The video, which is directed by Ray Kay (Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, ), was shot in Los Angeles earlier this month. Ray Kay and Lambert previously worked together on the “Whataya Want From Me” video.

    The RCA page, if interested.

  31. ultimathule says:

    Wow – that’s pretty bad, nkd RCA should hire us – his fans – in the future to get things right.

    Arriving at RTL radio in Berlin. Is that tall man the new Lane? Like how he squished the toy.

  34. luval says:

    What happened to RCAEd? Maybe he can straighten that big blooper out! Embarrassing!

  35. luval says:

    Ultimathule… Was wondering the same thing. I can’t remember Lsne number two’s name. Smile

    I know! He’s made 4, now 5 mvs, not that much info to get it wrong. Ray Kay did FYE. We all know that! I forgot the name of the director for WWFM, Martel or something, but I would have looked these things up if that was my job!
    I’ll prob look it up anyway now, even though that’s not my job! It’s my passion!

    ETA Diane Martel directed WWFM jsyk!

  37. dcglam says:

    Isn’t the 19 Entertainment incorrect as well?
    Shouldn’t it be Direct Management Group? Question

  38. nkd says:

    I think Adam is still under 19 Entertainment recordings, but has new management, DMG. So the RCA/19 part would be correct. Confused

  39. dcglam says:

    Makes sense…. Thanks for your thoughts, nkd. Yeah, it is a bit confusing.

    Another win!

    I’ve only heard BTIKM once on the radio, but in the last two days I’ve heard WWFM twice. I thought I’d check out the radio station’s website to see if BTIKM is on the playlist and I’m just missing it. Anyway, thought I’d share what’s going on with our local station out of Orlando.

    http://mix1051.radio.com/ They’ve got the BTIKM video tease on their main page.

    http://mix1051.radio.com/2011/12/20/play-it-dont-play-it-adam-lamberts-better-than-i-know-myself/
    Trying to guage reaction to the new song. Looks like there’s interest. Wonder why they haven’t been playing it?

    Maybe when we get the video…
    Followed the link to a Sleepwalker video on Vevo. Looks like the official GlamNation recording. Was distracted for a couple minutes…

    ALF has a sneak pic on the site. Adam with yellow eyes? Does this fit anyone’s scenario?

  43. ultimathule says:

    At MJ’s, studio57 put up a pic from ALF of a Lee C shot from the video – Adam with yellow eyes.

  44. ultimathule says:

    Are they wolf eyes?

  45. nkd says:

    Was distracted for a couple minutes…

    Yeah, that happens! Grin

  46. ultimathule says:

    Gawd – he’s such a tease.

  47. ultimathule says:

    OK – theories, please.

  48. ultimathule says:

    Hey – that rhymed.

  49. dcglam says:

    Oooh, those sinister yellow eyes — scary! Wink
    One person on ALF said it’s probably from all that juicing. LOL

  50. ultimathule says:

    They should be acid green then from all that kale.
