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!

    Gosh, so much stuff to go through. Have got a headache from being on the computer too much!!!
    That was a lovely snippet from Brian May, lol poor old Kris…
    I wonder what triangle Kelly O means, instrument or love???

    So happy to see the adds today, I really love the song and video so hope it can climb a bit higher.

    So happy for the adds for BTIKM. I think we all can get a bit impatient, and it’s no wonder with all the naysayers calling a single dead before letting it run its course. There just seems to be a bit of a delay between doing a promotion and the adds coming in. The radio people might have to wait until the suits have their next meeting. I have no idea how adds happen in reality. Do any of you know?

  3. Oksana2000 says:

    Oksana, this is especially for you: Brian May talks about how they discovered Adam, and how they played with him “and the other guy”. “The other guy you tend to not hear from. Bless him.”

    Turquoise,you just made my evening.. Smile
    And yet there are blogs where people are foaming at the the mouth when it comes to Queen and Adam.
    This is assesment of Adam voice by one of the bloggers (I save such a jewels of stupidity for my future enjoyment)

    And finally, Adam has terrible singing technique that will eventually kill his voice. He has no breath control, no ability to inject vocal variety, no staying power. He sings like an amateur. I’ve sung for over 30 years now, everything from rock to opera and I still take lessons from an opera master. He could benefit from a few years of lessons. I’m surprised the AI coaches didn’t correct his glaring flaws. There’s a reason he cannot do more than 55 minute sets and it all goes back to improper technique.

    There is nothing like an opinion of an expert… ROTFL

  4. Oksana2000 says:

    OMG, MJ opened Elton John Oscar party thread and it started all over again.
    It never changes. When Adam is involved, Grammy is suddenly irrelevant, Queen is pathetic, Elton John is an old fart who is losing it, and everything is payola….

  5. rainbowgal4 says:

    Oksana
    I would imagine that Adam does work with a vocal coach. I remember him doing warm ups in front of a person on the tour. He’d be foolish not to. As far as his talent, breath control, etc. I’ll take Queen’s endorsement before I would listen to the person you “quoted”.

    I used to go to mjs and read a lot there. I can’t do it any more. And it’s for all the reasons you stated in your post. Life is too short to be around negative people. And that’s the reason I love this place.

  6. Miss Chaos says:

    Has anyone thought about the fact that BTIKM getting more adds, is going to keep us from getting a new song released? Is this being selfish????

  7. Oksana2000 says:

    rainbow,I quoted that blogger, because I think that she is making fool of herself. It’s a sad, little blog run by someone who is in my opinion a little cuckoo…

  8. turquoisewaters says:

    Miss Chaos: I had the same thought. I can’t wait for a funky second single. However, I think it is much better when the second single comes out on the heels of a successful first single. So as long as BTIKM is still moving up, they will probably wait.I don’t think there is anything wrong with having two singles out simultaneously, the second one entering when the first one has passed its high point.

  9. I think it’s amazing, awesome, any other word you could think of, that Elton CHOSE to sit with Adam, Sauli, and Katy. That’s so awesome!

  10. Teri63 says:

    LOL! I just can’t wait to hear all of the songs on the whole album! I’m happy with BTIKM sticking around as long as possible so that Adam’s able to release more singles and so the whole album cycle is drawn out at looooonnnng as possible. With as much as a perfectionist as Adam is, it’ll be quite awhile before we get an Album #3 regardless of how Trespassing does, so I’m all for this one being milked as thoroughly as possible!

  11. Miss Chaos says:

    HaHA, I posted a little ditty over at the other site, I dont think I said anything wrong, but hope to stir things up a little Hee Hee

  12. riskylady says:

    Hahaha, Oksana, that paragraph is hilarious, mainly because all of the things listed are precisely the ones Adam is known for excelling at. I give you this list from the DDD Music Forum compiled by experts after much lengthy and cranky (understatement) discussion. This is their most recent version, but in all previous ones Adam has always been #2.

    Vocalists are rated on their Technical Skill based on their prime ability by the following criteria.

    Technique: Breath Support, Consistency throughout registers, Endurance, Diction
    Control: Register Switching, Runs, Register Blending, Pitch, Vibrato, Volume Control
    Power & Range: Projection, Resonance, Use of Range, Sustain
    Versatility: Technical Versatility, Tonal Versatility, Stylistic Versatility

    For criteria breakdowns, each criterion from either tier is worth equal points. Influence and impact have no bearing on a singer’s placement.

    100 Most Technically Skilled Male Rock Vocalists
    Jackie Wilson
    Adam Lambert
    Dan Arlie
    Tim Buckley
    Freddie Mercury
    Jeff Buckley
    Chris Cornell
    Michael Kiske
    Steve Perry
    Geoff Tate

  13. Oksana2000 says:

    riskylady,I know DDD Music Forum very well and I was even tempted to give that stupid blogger a link, but then I said….eehhh…It would not change anything, DDD MF and its experts would be trashed, I’ve seen it being done before.
    Waste of my time..

    My two jobs are killing me…. The RL one and the stanning one!
    So much going on in Adam World right now, and I am loving every minute. At the same time keeping up is not so easy!

    Exactly, dcglam!

    I flove the friendship between Adam and Katy Perry. Remember they went together to some event right after Idol? I loved that she gave him that credibility and a friendly companion for the evening.
    Re the post above that Adam would not look as “right” with a woman…I give you exhibit A, Adam and Katy Perry lol…(and I am NOT shipping anything!!!!!)

    So amazing that Elton invited them to sit at his table. And yup, Sauli is doubtless even more black and blue than Adam from the pinches!

    And did you notice that the python bow tie has a price increase coming in April? Our thrifty BB got his just in time… Grin

    Sigh. Time to go off to bed now, and I just got here (or it seems like it…I have about a billion tabs open, so I must have been here for quite a while!)

    Hugs to all and wishes for sweet Adam dreams! Heart

  35. luval says:

    Ok, if that press release is valid (thanks,jlurksacto), Adam will play with Queen one week earlier than Knebworth. They can work out the bugs, I guess. Although then we’ll know the set list, how long the set will be. Special guests if any could be different, however. Interesting. Still would love a concert here in the US.

    Good Morning All –
    I have a question for all of you. This last week or so there was a lot of Adam activity and I posted alot of it on this site. I want to know how all of you feel. You will not “hurt” my feelings. When I’m at my computer for my work I have no problem searching out the news and bringing it back here. If you like that I will continue. I don’t want to create any overload or be post ho. I enjoy this place so much and love reading all your comments and the news you find. I don’t want to change the environment here.

  47. rainbowgal4 says:

    Rosie really wants Adam on her program. I would love to see that happen…

    @adamlambert ADAM DO MY SHOW PLEASE – COME TO CHICAGO – A WHILE HOUR OF CHAT – XXXXX

  48. Ron says:

    Hi asif and good morning everyone! Thanks for supplying the Hollywood Reporter Link and photo, asif. Interesting HR chose to use Adam’s photo instead of one of the others.

    Shall we start speculating what Adam is going to sing? Big Smile

    Mr. Durbin will probably want to make his entrance being shot out of a cannon and then set himself on fire while Mr. Daughtry will do his usual up tempo rock number … and I’ll add … to what I’m sure will be great effect.

    Adam should therefore sit himself on a stool in a spotlight and perform the plaintive and haunting “Outlaws Of Love”.

    Except for Daughtry rocking the room, I know none of the above will happen but I do think Adam should go for the quiet ballad. Maybe an acoustic BTIKM? No, that’s not going to happen either. Smile

    I think I may have misunderstood this whole thing. I thought they are all going to appear on the same show … the finale. Are they going to perform on separate shows? If that’s the case, Adam doesn’t have to check with me and he can sing any song he wants. Big Smile

  49. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    rainbowgal4, I feel so enabled in my Adam obsession lucky to have both you and nkd to keep me “in the know”! Please, both of you, keep up the good work!
