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!

    Mils, I thought at first that kez ban looked transgender. But I did a little research on the net on her and saw a picture from a couple of years ago when her face was fuller and she looked feminine. She left home at 16 years old and was a street performer for several years, wandering around, like the song she wrote and sang on idol. I also found an online journal that her cousin writes and the cousin wrote about the death of their grandmother and her grandmother’s shack of a house (in NC), but there was a lot of love there. Kez Ban wrote a comment to her cousin’s online journal about how that really brought back memories and how well it was written, etc. she commented as Katherine Sauerbrier. Her cousin replied back and exclaimed “Katey Kate!” and went on to compare notes. So although she appears that she might be transgender, and that is certainly what most comments are suggesting as well, it appears that she was at least raised as a girl. Unclear what her gender is now, or if just really thin with strong eyebrows? Her voice is really gender neutral.

    Time will tell about Kez. I’m still thinking transgender. And it’s because of her mannerisms, large hands, large prominent Adam’s apple, and her “affected” speaking voice. I’ve had clients that sounded just like her, and they had therapy to help change their voices.

    I could be wrong, of course, there’s always room to be wrong, but, Kez may have started this journey younger than most, she seems like a very confident and artistic person.I think her sound is interesting, and I hope she stays in the show. If she is trans, it will be a first for the show, or any singing show really.

    Love that interview, mils – saved it. The part at the end about “getting high” was priceless. How I love to see him laugh like that.

  5. riskylady says:

    Seems the use of pot, and the promotion of pot, has become quite the meme for some female pop stars (Rihanna, Gaga, Lana del Rey and others). This article from the NY Times was the cover of the Miami Herald Entertainment section in full color on Dec. 12th, taking up the whole page. I don’t follow them, so didn’t realize how up-front and bold it has become. Surprising. But not surprised then that Adam would mention it, but he certainly is not alone.

    Wasn’t the Bieb smoking the other day?

  7. riskylady says:

    Yep, ulti, there were pics of him with a “blunt.” His reps refused to comment, last I read.

    This interview in Montreal isn’t one of the best, but a)HE LOOKS SO SCRUMPTIOUS, the lighting brings out his eye color so beautifully, and b) the very first part where he talks about the pain of being told that you are damned for love, and for who you love, and why he wrote OOL is so open and vulnerable. Never heard ANY star talk like this.

    Interesting – MJ commented on the Glee/Elmo/Diva thread in an attempt to absolve the Glee designers of any taint of copying Adam. So funny.

    krad Just getting home and still may try and go to NYC but the second tier tickets are on a wait list already. You get the dinner and concert from the balcony. Balcony concert only tickets are still available. Not sure it is worth it without the dinner and seeing Adam get the award. Hmmm…wish it was in LA. Much cheaper.

  10. aely says:

    And yes, ulti of course it was copied! I can’t believe anyone could not see it. There are not a ton of over the top, bedazzled, red fur/ leather coats with a name roaming around with their own twitter accounts singing with Queen and hosting Divas. Kind of hard to miss.

  11. turquoisewaters says:

    Just found this on the Muse site. This is how they try to curb ticket scalping:

    Please note that Paperless Ticketing will be utilized on all floor and premium lower bowl tickets when available. Paperless Ticketing will help eliminate scalping. For select events, Paperless Tickets can be bought and sold exclusively via Ticketmaster’s TicketExchange or Flash Seats in non-Ticketmaster markets. Resale prices for tickets can be no more than 20% above face value.

    “Kickin In” now on energy! First time I have heard it! Maybe there is still hope for Broken English. I have a feeling that before the end they will go trough the whole album. Have I said enough how much I love this radio station?

  15. loveroftalent says:

    @ultimathule That was funny what MJ said…It is so obvious where it was inspired from..

  16. loveroftalent says:

    @milwlovesadamThanks for posting those vidoes…Those rank at the top for me also…I love interviews where Adam cracks up laughing…I love the one with a girl interviewer and the hot toddie/chocolate…That one cracked me up too.

  17. luval says:
  18. milwlovesadam says:

    riskylady, thanks for that wonderful re-visit to that interview. He was particularly articulate and gorgeous in that one.

    He truly is the dream of every interviewer. He answers the questions, he is polite and engaging, he he is smart and a great photo-op.

    Love that drizzle jacket, less makeup, and the hair was fab.

  19. luval says:

    This is one of my favorite interviews:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0_MiR9jUg8&playnext=1&list=PL6C2B392F674B5D4D&feature=results_video

    eta: IMO The red elmo outfit it totally copying Adam. No inspiration there.

  20. milwlovesadam says:

    Just read the article you posted riskylady about the lady divas and pot. I’m remembering Adam’s literal Purple Haze and WLL in Amsterdam. He made the actual news here over it, not just TMZ, which was all over it, and one of the entertainment shows called him the bad boy of the week over it.

    I, of course, just viewed the whole kerfuffle as ” he has name recognition enough to be on the news.”

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RY7kbII9oG8

    But, what’s really important to note, is that the news overlooked the massive Adommy display in this performance. No mention at all of this, the longest, and albeit hottest of them all. They focused on the weed instead. Interesting. Change is Gonna Come indeed.

  21. milwlovesadam says:

    Oh luval, thanks. That is an oldie, but a goodie!

  22. luval says:

    mils, how is your job going? Any potential Adam devotees? I see them every day from a distance. I have that Adam-radar but most of the time I can’t do anything about it. I suppose I have to talk to them first. Smile

    Blaine is not singing a Queen song in that photo, just so you know. The Queen song, which comes later in the episode, is likely just a coincidence.

    The Glee costume designers are a very talented bunch, and are inspired by all sorts of things.

    (Edited by author 8 hours ago)

    MJ has been responding to me several times lately. Imma gonna get banned, I just know it!! Too bad, I have had 30-40 likes on some posts. Oh well, it’s all just “fun” to me.

  24. luval says:

    mils…BS!!!!!!!

    eta: just to make it clear…BS to what she replied to you.

  25. milwlovesadam says:

    luval, thanks. I just finished my first week of orientation and working. I was quite exhausted yesterday, but, I have a full time job and am very grateful after being laid off and in the temp world for 9 months. Now, looking forward to paying off some debt!! One paycheck at a time.

    I’m actually relieved that there isn’t a tour on one level. I have nothing to be heart-broken about missing because I can’t afford it anyway!

  26. milwlovesadam says:

    Yes, BS for sure. That is such a direct copy of Adam it isn’t even in doubt. But, I do wonder how the Blonde’s feel about this copy?

  27. milwlovesadam says:

    Oh, so , my baby Glambert is at this job. She loves everything I toss her way, but, she isn’t on her computer very often. She only checks her email once every couple of weeks. But, if he ever toured in our direction, I would for sure have a partner in concert attending in her. We just simply cannot fangirl it up at our work. The environment is way too small, no privacy at all. Too bad.

  28. galady says:

    Mils, of course that jacket was copied from Elmo jacket. Anyone with 1/2 a brain could see that.

    I absolutely love Shady. I automatically turn the volume up when it comes on. Can’t sit still. It would make a wonderful single. Hope it happens with Nile behind it.

  32. TLKC says:

    Just heard it asifclueless. They’re playing Broken English now. Both are UK radio firsts, apparently. FYI, the Carrie-Anne song was my “fault”. I asked them to repent for playing a cover of “He Ain’t Heavy” by playing something by the Hollies. LOL! I would have picked something different but, hey! I loved the Hollies when I was young.

  33. rs says:

    I just saw on the playlist that they played “Broken English” And I missed it! Was watching the news. Frown But I am so glad they played it, and I will hear it yet. Have I said enough how much I love this radio station?

  34. TLKC says:

    Well MJ was partially right. The GLEE designers are inspired by all sorts of things. In this case they were inspired by…

    I think it was a complimentary nod to Adam in the hopes that Glamberts would tune in and/or comment. They probably view Glamberts as likely and useful fans of the show. The Elmo jacket is a lot of things but the one that stands out is “twitter phenomenon.” Between the beginning and end of Dragon Attack, a few minutes, the jacket was noted, identified and the designers mentioned. Within minutes. It is a testimony to the power of twitter and the online presence of Glamberts. A lot of people know that.

    OMG Third Adam song in a row!!! ENERGY…. Kickin’ In

  35. asifclueless says:

    Gosh … I love energymusicradio.

    Adam always has guardian angels to look after him.

    After all the songs from Trespassing are played, I’m gonna ask them to play the great old ones that we hardly heard of enough.

    KICKING IN is on.

  36. asifclueless says:

    rs .. They will play Adam’s songs throughout the day.
    I’ll keep the station on as my background.

    Adam is really destined to be a global star.
    The US radio stations ignore him but this UK station on line, all global fans can listen to him together in unison.

    Heart Listening to Music Music Note

  37. riskylady says:

    LOL, galady, I think you hit the nail on the head, i.e. we may be dealing with less than “half a brain.”
    Besides, Adam did not ONLY wear the jacket with Queen, he wore it on DIVAS, a show ABOUT DIVAS, singing the song of a DIVA, while acting host of the show ABOUT DIVAS. TRIPLE DUH!!!

    mils, did you notice this mention of Rihanna’s weed song? Kickin’ In is 100 times more inspired than this!!!

    In “Get It Over With,” a track off her just-released album “Unapologetic” (her seventh album in seven years, but her first Billboard No. 1), she is more direct as she sings: “It’s all right, we can roll in the clouds/ Getting high, we can float in the clouds.”

  38. rs says:

    They played Nirvana??? I’m in Heaven knowing that.

    Trespassing is on now, and in the middle of the song I just heard someone’s voice breaking in and saying “I love it!” It has to be the DJ! LOL

    I just emailed to thank them again.

  39. aely says:
  40. milwlovesadam says:

    I still maintain that if the Grammy’s hadn’t reduced the Best Pop Vocal to one category , and eliminated best male/best female, Adam would have been nominated.

  41. milwlovesadam says:

    Both Kickin In and Pop That Lock are about getting high and having a fun club experience. IMHO. However, Nirvana seems pretty hippy trippy Hair high weedy and I love my lover-y to me.

  42. asifclueless says:

    MAP…..

    SORRY!!! I’ll stop now.
    Can’t help to flail. Grin

  43. rs says:

    Don’t stop asif!
    I am right there flailing with you Handshake

  44. asifclueless says:

    Thanks rs.

    I’ve got to go though. I’ll have 8 people for dinner tomorrow.

    Ciao!!!

    New Estonia Concert via @AdamLambertRUAB: #anExclusiveInfo Adam Lambert will perform at Jun, 29, 2013 in Tallinn,… http://fb.me/GzP6OqLI

    Just noticed he’ll be performing with Elton John.

  48. milwlovesadam says:

    Okay, so let me get this straight, let’s see ( scratches head and crinkles brows in deep thought ):

    If my great-grandparents on both sides of my family hadn’t immigrated from Minsk and Pinsk in Russia, then I would still be living in Russia, since it was both sides of my family, and I would therefore potentially be a Russian.

    And therefore, a Russian Glambert.

    And, therefore, I would stand a better chance of seeing Adam this year than my true current self.

    Silly Snicker Razz

  49. milwlovesadam says:

    Onstage with Elton this time? Oooh. That’s gonna be massive.

    Here’s the concert link (Google translation:
    Music Under Sky

    The most significant musical event of the summer, not only for Estonia but for the whole Baltic and Scandinavia.
    Five-hour show, and three artists whose names do not need a special presentation. The great musician and singer Sir Elton John and his band will present a commemorative program “40 Rocket Man”. Creative report support the artist’s favorite Estonian public Tõnis Mägi and a new pop-rock hero Adam Lambert.

    And it seems that Tõnis Mägi used to be in a band called Ultima Thule!
