luval, Hopefully your years of hard work linking Adam and Bowie will pay off in March. Do you think he and Adam have a collab on the album??
I agree nkd, the single seems a bit sad. My interpretation is that it is a love song. Is the woman in the vid his wife? Why are they part of the paraphernalia in the room. Is it a storage room of his life???? So many questions.
I ventured out today into the freezing cold, wind and rain of the wettest winter in years (flooding in the lowlands, snow expected here tonight)and what did I find in my mailbox to warm my heart? A package from jlurks with five copies of the Kiev DVD to gift to peeps here. It arrived in eight days with no problems with customs. The secret is to write “homemade DVDs with no value. Ha, no value! Little do they know! But whatever works, right!
cwm that Trespassing video is fantastic! It was posted a little while ago, on New Years Eve, when you were busy with your family. The synchronization of the clips to the audio of the song is amazing.
TLKC, are you at work yet? Did you find your keys?
Watched the Bowie video, I don’t dislike the song, think it could grow on me, but the video is just weird, and not very flattering to David Bowie, not that I ever found him that attractive anyway. And who is the woman, and why is she there when she doesn’t do anything? I kept expecting her to join in the singing.
oh dear, this isn’t good news

So sad that @GaydarRadio has closed down this week – they were great supporters of LGBT community & Adam Lambert in the UK
nice photo though

Hello rs. I’m off work today. Just called my boss and he’s on his way into the office. He was very nice about it. He will check to see if I left them on my desk. If not, then I left them in the ladies washroom and we will have to call security and the cleaning department.
The keys have no ID on them but someone could try all the office doors on the floor, I guess. That said, our building is very high security and the police department has offices on the top two floors. You can’t get in without a pass after 5pm and you can only go to your floor. 50/50 chance an honest person will find them and hand them in. Maybe 80/20?
I am really sick about the key chain, rs. I considered it a good luck charm. The last half of last year was much better than the first. Not superstitious but crossing my fingers.
You got it, mils. I meant SPG. The post has been corrected.
Here is the translation of Sauli’s most recent Hollywood blog. It’s fun to read his description of their travels to Bali and Vietnam.
http://www.adamtopia.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=sauli&thread=1309&page=1#355405
Lulz ultimat, I’m pretty sure that was makeup in his inner eye corner. Shimmery makeup.
I’ve seen it done on a lot of ads. I’ve even been known to use that technique. Just with a bit of a lighter hand.
Adam is going quite heavy again in the makeup direction. I do tend to like his look when it is not so heavy and dark. But, that’s just me. His look at the Take40 with Is This Love with the light makeup and light hair slayed me. I never would have expected it, but his face just glowed.
I have a day off today for a few appts. before my real full time hours start next week.
Real life beckons. Dangit.
Okay, so after reading Sauli’s blog, I see why Adam is getting philosophical, they are de-toxing and juicing. BB needs something to do that is peaceful while “cleansing.” And jet-lagging.
Poor guys. It’s exhausting to be jet-setting celebrities who glam and charm whole cities with their beauty and talent.
These are four professional portraits done by LA Times for VH1 Divas. We’ve already seen one of them, but the other three are new:

Excellent official video of Are You Gonna Go My Way from Vietnam, with the camera trained on the stage rather than the audience:

I have also posted this on the Vietnam thread.
So I am at work. Listened to Bowie on my iPhone while walking the 10minutes from my car to the building. Have to listen again when I get home. Will let you all know what I think at that time#Bowie’sbiggestfan.
rs
YYAAAYYYY I was thinking about your package yesterday and where it was on it’s
travels. AL’s turtle must have asked for help – a dolphin maybe? Now that we
know how easy – and inexpensive – that was, more could be on the way at any
time. Enjoy
On the topic of juicing, guess what a Glambert left at my house after our New Years party? A Breville juicer!!! It was taking up space and she wasn’t using it. It’s sitting in the laundry room at the moment. The electrical appliances buyer at the company where I used to work called items like this “next year’s garage sale.”
I will try it out but juice is not my thing. Soup, maybe?
My boss found my keys!!!! He just phoned and the first thing he said was: “I didn’t know you were Jewish!” I explained about the key chain (He knows I’m a Glambert)and said it was meant to be a good luck charm and he said: “Well it was!”
YAY!!!!!
TLKC, I am so glad your keys were found! The hamsa isn’t exactly a good luck charm, it is to ward off the evil eye. Almost the same thing, but one is positive and the other is anti-negative. Whatever, glad you found it.
Now I am off to brave the terrible stormy weather and coming snow for my weekly scrabble club. I need some of that luck.

Wishing all the luck in the world to you rs this afternoon, in storm and during your tournament. Ron can tell you how often I lose my keys. It has to be the evil eye working full time. Also, going to-and-from work can be counted as travelling so it’s a good luck charm.
So talent gets a third of the box office and uses it to pay band, back-up, crew, transportation, hotels, food and split with managment. Wow! Would management get a split of the gross or the net? Hope it’s net. OTOH, people like Lane are probably on salary.
Adam sold a lot of GN merchandise, though. He probably had to give the venue a percentage as well. Next time, maybe he can sell stuff out of the back of a van before and after the show.
jlurks That’s a revealing article. Not a lot of money for the star when you have a crew as big as Adam’s.I wondered, back in GNT days, when he was playing in ~2000-seat venues, and tix were as cheap as $50, how he could be making much, with 10 people to pay, especially on the overseas gigs.
Great that your boss found your keys TLKC
Wow that’s complicated business, a concert, thanks for posting jlurk. I remember seeing somewhere that Adam “costs” 150-250000$ (one performance?). So how does it go, is he paid that when he comes and performs? Or is he paid depending on tix sales? I thought about it in Bali – 500 tix x 500$ = 250000$.
The Washington Post has a fine article by Michael Gerson about crying at the movies (in particular, Les Miz). Here’s a quote from it:
“There is a reason the great stories persist in provoking our lacrimal system: the hope that life is a story, that all the suffering, vulgarity, pity and sacrifice add up to something and lead somewhere.”
The Bowie links don’t work for me so I surfed the net and found this article from October. Apologies if this was posted back in October but it does seem topical, in light of the new single and cd.
Glad to hear that his health issue is well under control.

Add the expense of compensating Orianthi’s and Alison’s bands to the first half of the GN Tour, too.
Ok…I just pre-ordered Bowie’s album.
Like nkd…first I liked the song, now I love it. It’s like the BTIKM of his album.
The mask is off. His appearance is a little bit strange at first. But I don’t think he gives a crap. In fact I think he’s been watching Adam. Taking hints from him on “just being yourself”. And I did send him GN live. It was never “return to sender”. Maybe this is always the music he’s wanted to do yet the glam got in the way. He’s grown way up. Of course we haven’t heard the whole album yet.
The video is odd…all the symbolism…what does it mean? Would love to sit down & have a cup of tea with him. TLKC, love that article you posted. Gives a little clearer description of where he lives in NYC. I am going to meet David Bowie one of these days and I cannot wait.
eta: Am so happy to see him back!
Well guys. I used to love me some Bowie. But. This new song is a maudlin non-melodic piece of tripe. The video is his own vision. Whatevs. It’s his art. But I see the song as him having too many “yes” men and a fanbase craving something, anything from the recluse he has been. Yuck and no thanks.
That’s 3 minutes of my life I’ll never get back. IMHO.
Oops, sorry. Was I negative?

Reminds me a tad of Adam’s old song.
PLL is running marathon today before new season and halloween show is at 7:00.
So I am seriously beginning to think about going to Finland for Adam’s concert. I don’t see any other way that I will be able see him sing his own songs during the Trespassing era. Anyone else interested?
Rs, ask Agathe.hb, she lives the closest to Finland. If you go in March, dress warmly, weather over there could be a bitch.
Are concert tickets still available?
Thanks for that old Adam song, ultimathule. I have to say I have never heard it before. A first for me.
Regarding Bowie, He is 66 years old. Although Mick Jagger can still strut his rock n roll at 70, don’t think Bowie can or wants to. He’s saying “this is who I am”. So the song may be junk, but I still like it! It gave me chills. So as usual, different strokes for different folks. Am hoping he’ll do something live.
lol…maybe he was reading mj’s all this time when I was begging him to give Adam a jingle. Now I KNOW they will meet. I can feel it!!
Oksana, Agathe.hb is going. I am in touch with her
Rs, Agathe.hb is going? Lucky girl. I haven’t talked to her in ages, mea culpa. You’ll have a blast!
rs, don’t forget our Ladynorth!
Oh, have fun all of you!! Should be epic!
PS. That link to that old Adam song is from the bastard album. I had never listened to any of it on “principal.” Oh well, principles are often broken…
Ended up at that old Cat Club video, ye of GB of epic proportions….
mils, I am not forgotten This is a snow ball effect. I emailed Agata yesterday when it crossed my mind whether she is coming, I met her in London in summer and remembered she’s from Poland. She didn’t know there was a concert in Finland! For her it was an immediate decision. rs has been thinking about it. Now she’s thinking about it more Maybe some others too.
You better win that lottery TLKC and luval so that you can fly whole gang here… Yes there are still tix and I am trying to sell them out
I am in touch with LadyNorth about it, too. I don’t know. Airline tickets from here are expensive and it is more than 8 hours of flight. That doesn’t really justify a long weekend like agathe.hb and another British fan I know are doing. They live much closer. I am also going to Malta for 5 days at the end of Feb-beginning of March. We’ll see. I have to think about it. And, of course, the tickets for the show are over 200 Euros!
Yes, mils – knew from bastard album – but liked it anyway and dl’d from YT. His voice is so pretty.
Love these comparison photos. from ADQ

Except Adam is younger and prettier , when I saw this photo it reminded me of Jose Eber…famous Hollywood hair dresser.

lol…I know I’m stretching it!
riskylady no apologies needed. We all post in excitement and then check later.
mils ITA about the Bowie song I couldn’t even listen all the way through. Not for me, very strange.
rs, there are also normal price tix available. Some fans have now extra tix for sale, good seats normal price. That 8 hours flight surprised me, I thought it would be shorter! I’ve been to Rhodos, Creek and it was 4 hours. But there’s still time to think about it.
I watched Voice of Finland today, first episode of the second season. TWO guys sang Queen in audition, WWTLF and TSMGO. The judges/mentors were thrilled, but all I was thinking was Adam’s performances. Was wondering have they seen it…
Have a good evening, good night for me!
LadyNorth, If I go all that way, I would want the great seats. Otherwise I can watch the vids! The travel time is long because there aren’t direct flights from Tel Aviv to Helsinki, or at least not on the days that I looked. I have to check it out more thoroughly
Got to say: I found the article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2219928/David-Bowie-recluse-How-Ziggy-Stardust-turned-fame.html so disrespectful. Some gossip journalist trash-talking about an accomplished person. (I know, that’s what they do.) It’s completely Bowie’s prerogative how he wants to live his life. He certainly made mistakes, but also more than his share of contributions. And there is nothing wrong with looking 65 if you are 65.
ITA turquoise. He’s a legend and as such deserves respect. I just don’t like the new song, and hope the new album has better ones. I saw him on some Unplugged special a few years ago, and he was fabulous. Telling stories, chatting between songs and giving acoustic performances. Very Bowie. But dresses like he was in those photos in NY. Very low key.
Luval , Jose Eber thing was perfect.
.
Still love Bowie’s song. It’s soothing to me. You could dissect it for meaning or you can let it wash over you. Probably not a huge hit, although it may sell a lot because it’s Bowie. I too hope for much greater things on the album.
luval, love the Jose Eber comparison!
WTF is going to do with that hat and hair? Never mind…it’s Adam!
LadyNorth, did you have any success with a dl of the Moscow Queenbert?
I have the 1080 mp4 and was able to get keepvid to work for me to dl the 480 and the 720 file. I can load one to my mediafire for a download if you would like. Let me know.
oh my gosh, how cute is he in this Shanghai concert promo
