2013 will apparently begin with a rather quiet month for Adam, as he has only one performance currently scheduled. This will be a Hennessy Artistry event in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on January 4. After that, Adam’s next scheduled event is the kickoff of his international “non-tour” in Seoul, South Korea on February 17. There is no official word as yet on whether some North American dates will eventually be added to the non-tour in the spring, but recent comments from Adam have not been very optimistic.

Above we see Adam performing at his final concert of 2012, at the Mulia Resort in Bali, Indonesia. Happy New Year and enjoy the chat!

    And with that, goodnight and happy new year.

    Another “best of…” for Adam. Somebody else loves his cover of “Is this love”.

    Adam Lambert’s “Is This Love”
    Of course someone who rose to fame on a glorified karaoke show like American Idol would be comfortable with his covers. Adam Lambert coasted through a number of songs popularized by other people in 2012, including a particularly spirited take on Madonna’s “Ray of Light” at the VH1 Divas concert in December. But it was Lambert’s effortless version of Bob Marley’s “Is This Love” that really won us over.

    Adam is mentioned in 3 of Nile Rogers’ Top 15 blogs of 2102.
    http://nilerodgers.com/blogs/planet-c-in-english/2570-planet-c-top-15-of-2012
    The one that is really incredible and worth a watch (again for those who already saw it) is this one, called “Trust the Process” with all the clips of the process of his work on “Shady”. The first time that we saw them the sound was muted so as to not give away anything about the song before the album was released. Now that we know the song so well, and love it so much, it is fantastic to go back and see the process, and also to see changes that were made from then to the final product.

    ETA I was too early. I hadn’t read the whole post. There is a later blog entry where one of Niles’ people took over his blog for a day when he was in London and posted edited versions of the videos with Adam along with some more earlier videos, pics and the completed Shady

    Good morning…mils am glad you questioned over there about the Queenbert press (non-press).

    Axxxel…you found The Hollywood Press articles. Thank you! But to me that doesn’t qualify as “tons of press” or “plenty of coverage” that she claimed Queenbert got. Close to none IMO.

    and Axxxel…great to see you posting here! I enjoy them very much over at mj’s but don’t go there very often now.

  24. loveroftalent says:

    HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE…Wishing you all a great day and great year…

    Happy New Year everybody!

    Wow. I still cannot believe the press twitter-gate is still getting.

    And luval, thanks for noticing my post over there. Did you see how she ducked out? And how she missed my point? I wanted prof of PRINT media coverage of Queenbert. There was none, as we all know. In fact, when I had my email exchange with my paper’s main music reviewer and complimented him for putting Adam’s name in teh paper in relation to Queen,he also acknowledged the lack of press about Queenbert in the states.

    MJ thinks she has a handle on everything, but she doesn’t. She may know more than any of us ever could about online media, but, I’m looking for print media coverage.

    What does it matter anyway? Newsweek just printed it’s last magazine.

    Do that many people really care what Adam has to say on twitter?

    Slow news time, nothing much else going on except the Kanye West pregnancy

    Rare that a celebrity disses another, so that makes it newsworthy in the minds of many. Notice how it blew up, and now a headline says Adam wanted a refund on his ticket?
    (shakes head)
    He shouldn’t a done it.
    But Hugh Jackman was a class act and made it okay. (IMHO)

    LOVED your post, Ginger! copied it into my 2013 book. Thank you for posting!

    Don’t mean to be a pest, really. I was often accused of being a stickler for attention to detail at work LOLOL. But, it is a good chunk of Adam’s upcoming schedule.

  37. loveroftalent says:

    @aelyThanks got posting the video….Love hearing him speak and he looked great as usual.. He is so down to earth, which I think is something that really suprises people..

  38. TLKC says:

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! Where are the emoticon buttons? Have they been temporarily dimantled in anticipation of overuse in New Year’s Greetings?

    Belated Happy Birthday to Miss Chaos and MS0712 and thanks to Cher for keeping track, like the good Mum-of-Everyone that she is.

  39. luval says:

    Ginger….I am ready for flight 2013 too. Love that sentiment! And I too will post it at my computer at home & work.

    Hi TLKC….I see the emoticon buttons! Grin

  40. TLKC says:

    I admire the courage and determination displayed by those of you who waded into Mj’s in Adam’s defense but I am done with commenting over there. Took a brief look and left. There is something ironic about a blog dedicated to the proposition that non-singers can pontificate ad nauseum on the comparative merits of singers of Idol/X Factor/The Voice calibre, getting all worked up about a professional singer doing the same thing.

    I would add to recent movie musicals that have worked: NINE, which features a host of “actors PRETENDING to be singers” – Daniel Day Lewis, Judy Dench, Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, Marion Coutillard, Nicole Kidman. They are all pretty good. Kate Hudson actually kills it – a wonderful surprise – and Penelope Cruz is both hilarious and on key. The only unsuccessful vocals belong to Nicole Kidman and, interestingly, the cd includes an additional version of her song, sung much better by another singer. All of them benefited from pre-recorded vocals.

    The director is Rob Marshall, who also directed Chicago.

  41. TLKC says:

    Happy New Year luval! Going to sign-off and on again to see if it fixes itself.

  42. TLKC says:

    Grin Yup!

  43. TLKC says:

    Love your post Ginger! Can I be added to the list for Flight 2013? Big Smile

  44. retjenny says:

    IIHY-NL video just popped up on twitter. I am on iPad & I don’t know how to bring it over. Good visual, sound OK.

    Since Adam is so honest, may I be? The dancers are so distracting. They are all over the place, no sync. Hard to follow BB. No dancers in S.F. Adam was the center of attraction as he should be, no competing with dancers.

  45. luval says:

    Hi retjenny…Did you see my post on the Bali thread? Said exactly that. Guess there was obviously no practiced choreography, it was a hot mess of dancing(?). All I can think of are the wonderful dancers on Divas. I can tell Terrance really tries, though.

  46. AL says:

    Some more videos from Bali have been added to that thread –
    IIHY, NL, NCOE, PTL

  47. Kradamour says:

    I have never been on Team Dancers.
    For the GN tour, I guess they were needed for filler and also because I think Adam needed the psychic support of a “family” for his first headlining tour.
    Just don’t see the point now, the VajayVajays fill the stage and I agree that Adam needs to be the center of attention and the dancers distract.
    I think they also keep him from moving as freely around the stage as he does otherwise. That might be part of the “hot mess” aspect…the dancers may know what they are doing/want to do, but Adam isn’t on the same page and has gotten used to having the stage to himself.
    Thinking

  48. luval says:

    It’s as though the dancers are in front of Adam & blocking him most of the time. Wish he would watch some of the videos LOL & see what’s goin’ on. Well, if this was an official tour and not a non-tour, I think heads would roll. Mr perfectionist would not let this happen.

    Just wish we had a hint at what happened with Adam and TPTB in regards to an official tour.

  49. retjenny says:

    Hi luval, I guess I should have posted that on the other thread but I’m glad to see my opinion is shared (Hi Kradamour).

  50. luval says:

    I posted this on the Bali thread.

    I think we should get together, name our group, & buy lottery tickets every week. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if we won big? Adam would really get publicity!! But I would hire Adam for a full blown GN/Trespassing extravaganza with costumes, staging, lighting….a little more than $200,000!
