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!

    Such a gorgeous dressing room.

    Wow, turquoise, did you read the comments under that video you just posted? Two of the 18 who commented did not know who Adam Lambert is.

    Yep, Ceddies, I was one of those two. Grin But all kidding side: This mountain-out-of-a-molehill episode has shown that he is apparently not as much of a nobody as some people like to think. Longest 15 minutes ever.

    Adam Lambert ‏@adamlambert
    My movie review has gone viral. U can spend a whole year praising artists for inspiring work, but one critique gets all the attention. Funny

    Those raw and real moments when characters broke down or were expressing the ugliness of the human condition were superb. However…

    Will it ever end?!!! Laugh

  8. nkd says:

    Adam Lambert ‏@adamlambert
    My personal opinion: there were times when the vocals weren’t able to convey the power, beauty and grace that the score ALSO calls for.

    I guess he’s just realizing how big this story got!

    OMG…. Adam’s latest tweet! Ya gotta love him. In Love
    His innocent movie review has taken on a life of its own.

    I guess I’m a purist for the original LIVE broadway recording when the actors sang the f*ck outta those songs. JUST an opinion…

  11. aely says:

    Oh! I wonder if my dad will buy me that car? HA! I used to love that car……memories!

    I should prob stop fanning the flames on this one..but i love a good debate- couldnt help myself.

    One last thing though: Anne Hathaway was so good- had me tearing up. Oscar worthy performance for sure! Ok. #donediscussinglesmiz

  13. nkd says:

    So…shall news cycle #3 start now?

  14. dcglam says:

    Poor guy…. This all must be getting to him. Hopefully for Adam’s sake, we can put a period at the end of this sentence. So, are we now going to see all the same media outlets with these brand new tweets?!?! Yikes, I sure hope not. This is becoming very old news. Pain

    ETA: Just saw your above comment, nkd. Thinking alike…… Wink

  15. luval says:

    Wonder if Vietnam is close to a sell-out? Looks like the venue holds up to 3,000. Is he coming back to the U.S after this? Next show is S. Korea on the 17th.

    Am really sick of the Les Mis story.

  16. Ron says:

    Adam Lambert ‏@adamlambert

    Ya think, Adam? Laugh

    It is kind of sad though when you do realize all of the praise that he heaps on his fellow artists constantly but … that’s nothing … that goes unnoticed … doesn’t mean anything.

    Adam has valid reservations about the singing in the movie “Les Miserables”, expresses them, and he’s the devil.

    I agree with turquoiswaters. What really got him into hot water was the all caps of the word “pretending” to sing in one of the tweets.

    Ah, well. Better buy more popcorn.

    Geez, MizGate Stage 3? (Are we keeping up with our gate-a-year? Need a list.)

  18. aely says:

    Think I will be off twitter, etc for the next few days just can’t look at all that again.

    I know they say no publicity is bad but he has to fight so hard here already so yes, I wish he would just let it go.

    Not in his nature I know!

    One of my fav moments this past year. So FUN. “Another One Bites the Dust” London 7/12/12 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2e9mwTjCNI&sns=tw

    I love this performance too. I think it was the best AOBTD of the 6.
    Torn leather hanging and all!

    Here Ron…Adam tweeted this just for you a couple of minutes ago.

    Woo-Hoo! One of my favorite moments too! That’s the video that I once mentioned where I watched it on continuous play with the headphones on … there was a little bit of beer drinking off and on if I recall correctly Wink and, for some reason, I kinda fell asleep. I woke up at 4:00am with it still playing and it had been playing over and over again for hours. Laugh

    Needless to say, I know all the words to that song by heart. They’re imprinted upon my brain forever. Big Smile

  23. Ron says:

    I commented without clicking on the Link.

    THIS is the best version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkCSs2_9WNA

    Multi camera angles.

    I’m not on Twitter. Someone tweet the Link above to Adam and tell him it’s the best one.

  25. riskylady says:

    LOL, lifted verbatim from eywflyer‘s prediction for this month:

    “2013 will apparently begin with a rather quiet month for Adam…”

  26. dcglam says:

    Haha….. I wonder if American Idol is kicking themselves in the butt right now. We all know Adam would have been an awesome judge anyway, but can you imagine all the publicity he would have brought to the table with his critiques?!?! Grin

  27. mmm222 says:

    Adam can no more keep his opinions to himself than my cats can resist chasing a piece of string. That’s just who he is.

    cwm– I’m so glad the job promotion came through for you in the end. I just hope that your bosses realize now how foolish they were not to choose you in the first place.

    krads and ulti– I just checked and Kris Allen is still on the Rams Head schedule for 1/14. I wish it would get rescheduled again so I can be there. If it doesn’t get changed, have a wonderful time. At least it’s not an Adam concert that I’m missing so close to home.

  28. ultimathule says:

    Yes, mmm222 – plan to be there – should be fun – as noted, has a very nice bar.

    Hey, dcglam – was just thinking the same thing – all the fun and controversy without the backstage idiocy. Dopes.

  29. riskylady says:

    cwm, so happy for you that you got that job. I had an intuition that you would! Sorry to hear of all the family health issues, though. Wish them the best.

  30. ultimathule says:

    MJ just posted (says her last) on the Miz thread – definitely showing her colors with this one. Not that we didn’t already have strong suspicions. But, nevertheless, still enjoy going over there and planting a bomb or two.

    Looking forward to AI12 over there.

  31. ultimathule says:

    “quiet month,” riskylady – could use one to get some work done around here.

    Done. You’re right.

    Calgary says:
    01/02/2013 at 11:00 pm

    Done. You’re right.

    Hi Calgary!!

    Thank you. I do think that it’s the best version and should be one of many songs on a DVD available on store shelves everywhere!

    For the moment though … right now … I’m fixated on this:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-0MS72uHSQ

    I couldn’t be more moved, more touched by this 4 and half minute video. When I like something, I play it over and over again. I must be a masochist because it brings me to tears and yet I keep playing it.

    All this mention of “Les Miserables”. Here are 4 generations, so to speak, of Jean Valjean’s singing “Bring Him Home”.

    To see the original Jean Valjean, Irish-Canadian, Colm Wilkinson passing the torch, in a way, to the next one and then the next one and lastly Alfie Boe … chills! OH, the 2:25 minute mark!!

    THIS is what Adam means by people who can actually sing and express emotion at the same time and without any need for “sweetening” because this is talent!

  34. aely says:

    I have avoided the dancers talk but want to throw my thoughts out there. First, I danced ballet for almost 15 years, the last few in a small company. Then threw out my pointe shoes for any athletic sport I could join.

    My thought is I really wonder if Johnny has any real dance training. Not just classes but training. He has a massive sway back naturally (I noticed even more seeing him at the afterparty at Divas). That would be the very first thing trained out of him. I had that and and the training was renltless. It held me up getting on pointe for almost a year. Your weight is not even and you cannot use your core correctly. He has a weak core as you can see when he dances next to Terrance. He uses his arms, head and everything else to move but his core which makes him look sloppy.

    Don’t know how many of you watch so you think you can dance but I have never seen anyone so good and have such a strong core that gives him such balance as Chehon this season. I will attach a video so you can see what I mean, then watch Johnny and Terrance.

    Thanks!AL Grin

  39. Miss Chaos says:

    Holding my breath on my last post over there on the Russell Crowe thread. Poor Adam, hes really taking some crap, trying to stir the pot and all that ROTFL
    LoverofTalent, what did you say, theres a lot going on

  40. AL says:

    Thanks!AL

    My pleasure! You probably posted links to videos for mobile devices so I just switched the “m” with “www”.
    Chehon was my pick to win SYTYCD this year along with Eliana (sp?) on the girls’ side. It’s the only reality show that I watch now. Since Adam broke the singing competition show mold, I can’t make it through any singing show now.

  41. aely says:

    Al. I did and didn’t even think about it until I saw that ulti couldn’t open and came to fix and it was done! You are fast!

    I loved them both also. Team Ballet! I thought Alex Wong was the best but Chehon is really unbelievable. I saw them live and wow. He is my Adam of dance.

    I too have stopped watching the singing shows. He really did break it didn’t he?

  42. nkd says:

    Thanks for the dance vids aely. He is something!

    Ron, WOW! That Bring Him Home video was beautiful. The last singer takes your breath away.

  43. turquoisewaters says:

    aely: I think your points are well taken. Just watched. Chehon is unbelievable. Maybe not even fair to compare Johnny to him. But the difference between Terrence (who also benefits from a great personality) and Johnny is very noticable. I think I would try one female (Brooke/Sasha) and one male (Terrence).

  44. Calgary says:

    Curse you Ron It’s way past my bedtime but I’ve been watching and watching that youtube of the four tenors and then surfing for Alfie Boe stuff. So gorgeous! I gotta get to bed.

  45. aely says:

    I agree, you can’t compare. Terrance has a good core. That is what makes him dance stronger, having his dancing (movements) come from his core rather than Johnny’s, who core moves because of his arms, head, etc. Core movements have to come first and extend out.

  46. Calgary says:

    aely Thanks for showing us Chehon. My god he’s incredible. Now where am I gonna find the time to check out his performances? I gotta go to bed! And tomorrow I have to get back to RL!

  47. ultimathule says:

    Wow – Cheon can really get the height in those leaps – very impressive. Gonna try that when I get out of bed in the morning.

  48. nkd says:

    OMG ulti! ROTFL
    Make sure someone is home with you before you leap through the ceiling! Wink Laugh

    No need to search any further. I remember posting this before but here is Mr. Boe at his best, in a T-shirt, in a friends kitchen.

    Adam should record in that kitchen! It has the best acoustics I’ve ever heard! No kidding.

    Hi!!! I know you’re both Alfie Boe fans. Blowing Kisses

    “Well, the dog liked it”. Laugh

  50. HK fan says:

    guess what I have sitting in my little old hands!!!!!!!

    yup, a golden ticket to a certain someones, whom we’re all rather keen on.. concertSmile

    My cars still in the garage, and I couldn’t book online as you have to verify your credit card with the bank, which apparently you can only do through internet banking which I haven’t set up yet…so I took the easy option and sent my helper up to the booking office on the bus!!!
