‘The Star Spangled Banner’ Broadway Bares midnight show 6/23/13 – Video by Sam Bernero

Following a busy June with appearances at Pittsburgh Pride, all sorts of New York events and at Universal Orlando, Adam is back in California for a few open air concerts. The first one is in his childhood home of San Diego on July 2nd and then it’s on to Paso Robles on July 19th. Let’s hope that between concerts (and after) that Adam gets into the studio to work on new music.

For this month’s banner, I listened to luval‘s advice and posted a video – an impressive “Star Spangled Banner” that Adam sung before a very appreciate Broadway crowd. It’s perfect for the July 4th holiday but it’s just as amazing to listen to any time of year!
If you have any photos faves, please post them and I’ll add them below the video.
Enjoy the chat!

    LOL! Twitter is ahead of GMA! Apparently it is Adam and Queen. Can’t wait to see how Ryan and Miley frame it though.

  3. TLKC says:

    Oh Ron! Does that mean they close the event??? Awesome.

    We’re goin’ to Vegas Baby!

  4. TLKC says:

    By the way, Ryan already announced earlier that this will be televised for the first time this year, so we will see it regardless. (Not live I think, but televised.)

  5. HK fan says:

    Adam Lambert UK ‏@LambertUK 1m
    RT @B104: hey #glamberts – @adamlambert reunites with QUEEN at the @iHeartRadio music festival! details here – http://www.b104.com/iheartradio-music-festival/index.php

    BIG 105.9 Miami ‏@BIG1059FM 4m
    The @iHeartRadio Music Festival lineup has been announced! Headed up by @eltonjohndotcom and Queen with Adam Lambert! http://ow.ly/mY29Q

  6. TLKC says:

    Interesting. They announced about 6 acts, including Timberlake and Adam + Queen. Then the said there would be a daystage for the first time. Looks like they are featured front-and-centre.

  7. Ron says:

    I see the difference between last night’s “tentative” list and today’s official list is the exclusion of Paul McCartney and Zedd and the inclusion of J. Cole.

    Congratulations Adam! I’m already happy for those who will be heading out to Vegas in a couple of months!

    ETA: MIA also is Drake.

  8. LadyNorth says:

    Oh how I love that this rumor about queenbert in Vegas is true Grin It’s a great exposure, and happy for US glamberts/queenberts. Have to say the whole line-up in that concert is pretty “big” Big Smile I wish I could be there. But I am waiting for the announcement what that London tv thing is, if queenbert I would definitely go there.

    It was also nice to see Adam in the same picture with Sauli, very relaxed both… What’s in the bag? I bet coffee and bagels Wink

  9. LadyNorth says:

    Please tell me peeps, what is the connection between Ryan & Miley and this festival? A lot of rumors on Twitter, I saw something about Keith and Miley for Idol judges…

    You can physically go but I’ll be there in spirit – yet again! Ghost

    I know that this is not a very nice thing to say, so forgive me, but I’m happy that the name Justin Beiber is not on that list.

    What is CW…? A tv channel?

  12. Ron says:

    Hi LadyNorth!

    Yes, CW is a network television station.

  13. adamized says:

    Ron, love your new avi! Very handsome. I’m excited for Adam and hope that this will lead to more Queenbert in the US. LadyNorth, was thinking the same thing about the shopping bag, too funny!

    Now, I want 2 more announcements. A new label for Adam and a role on AI. I want and he deserves it all.

  14. LadyNorth says:

    Thanks Ron Smile

    Here’s the info from Lilybop’s blog

    http://tv.yahoo.com/news/cw-air-iheartradio-music-festival-next-season-143731522.html

    As part of a three-year deal, the iHeartRadio Music Festival will air exclusively on the network and stream on CWTV.com following the broadcasts, the CW said Thursday.

    She also writes this might be the tv appearance in London (iTunes festival). It’s also in September. Have to go and study more…

    Photo was taken on Saturday. If I appear to be glowing – maybe a little – it’s only because I was standing next to rs!

    Dear rs, I hope you had a comfortable and enjoyable flight home. After you feel rested, I hope we’ll hear from you soon!

    IHeartRadio Music Festival 2013 Line Up Commercial:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yhMd1HAjyB8

    I wonder who the “special guest” will be who’s also performing with Queen and Adam?

    Being listed last and Ryan announcing Queen and Adam last, I guess they will be closing the whole thing!

    Special place of honor!

    ETA: Maybe the “special guest” is a reference to Freddie Mercury and the video footage they use of him during the show?

    Or did Ryan say “surprise guests” – have to listen to it again.

    So does this mean reserved seating. Not GA?

  21. Kradamour says:

    OMG so happy for those of you who were waiting for another Queenbert!

    Just watched Miley give it away…so cute! Not sure it was accidental, though….

    Hi luval! Hug Right

    The MGM Grand Garden Arena is located in the MGM Grand Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada. The arena has a seating capacity of 16,800 people and is located at 3799 Las Vegas Boulevard South.

    ETA: I think there might be a seat there with your name on it. Wink

  23. dcglam says:

    So cute indeed, Krad! “Glambert” was mentioned as though he will be the main attraction. Well, he certainly will be to us! He is also being listed among “superstars.” This is going to be huge exposure for Adam right in the the good ole US of A. We have been patiently waiting for this for a long time. I am such a happy fan! Clap Jump

  24. Miss Chaos says:

    Again today, yay for Adam. Some thoughts.
    Wonder if the talk of TJR being around with Brian and Queen, could mean he is playing with them, and then the possibility them playing one of Adams songs.
    Wonder if they will bring out some Queens songs that they spoke about that hadnt been played yet? That would be awesome. Adam singing some new songs, and Queen songs that no one ever heard. Of course they will play some of some of there famous songs.
    So cute that Miley said Lambert is going to be there, they make such a big deal about him, hahaha. When the hell is his 15 minutes of fame gonna be up, lololol, wait what is that noise again- oh ya more heads exploding~~~~~!!!!!!

  25. ultimathule says:

    He’s becoming a one-name star – GLAMBERT!

  26. ultimathule says:

    The “usuals” haven’t shown up yet – maybe their heads did explode.

  27. Kradamour says:

    So much goodness lately…
    High Five!

    Loved the silly jokes last night. One more from my childhood:
    How do you hide an elephant?
    Paint his toenails red and put him in a cherry tree…
    Heh

  28. asifclueless says:

    O-M-GOSH … YAY …. \O/ ….. QUEENBERT …..
    And now from Adam himself … Grin

    Adam Lambert @adamlambert

    I’m performing with @QueenWillRock again! But now here in the USA at the iHeart Radio Festival. So excited! http://mrkt.ms/15HE3ZF

  29. LadyNorth says:

    Miss Chaos, interesting speculations Smile Whatever it’s gonna be, it will be exciting.

    I just have to say, all these announcements during past week have been planned perfectly. First the Glee-thing, then leaving RCA and then this. In this situation no one (except some trolls) are going to say he was dumped from his label… I agree adamized, now only waiting for the announcement of new label and new album outcome Smile

    I hope this tweet will come true.

    @adamlambert just a hunch but I’m thinking that this fall Adam is finally going to explode on the music scene! #Glee – #Iheartradio & new cd

  30. dcglam says:

    LOL, ulti…. About the head explosions! Grin Laugh

  31. asifclueless says:

    LadyNorth … It was also nice to see Adam in the same picture with Sauli, very relaxed both… What’s in the bag? I bet coffee and bagels Wink

    Coffee and bagels for an afternoon delight? Grin

  32. Kradamour says:

    I feel guilty about posting this.
    (Deep breath)
    Like everyone else here, I have wanted so badly for Adam to find the success he so richly deserves, and it looks like it really is within touching distance! And I am so very happy and proud of our boy!
    Laugh Laugh Laugh
    But…(stubs toe)…there is just the littlest silly twinge that he won’t be ours any longer, that he will have outgrown the care and nurturing of his glamberts and be fully launched. We won’t need to buy dozens of copies of his albums, we won’t need to endlessly vote for him on silly poll after silly poll…he won’t belong just to his first fans any longer (not that he ever did), and it is the end of the sort of interactions that we have enjoyed for the last several years in small venues, little meet and greets, signings after concerts…
    It is probable that we will never again sit on the lawn of a venue of 1000 people to see Adam in spiked shorts performing on the banks of the Potomac.
    Or in an abattoir.
    Or a dive in Paris.
    Thinking
    So, there is just the littlest, tiniest bit of selfish and stupid longing for what has been, as his superstar career begins the inevitable trajectory.
    Confused

    Okay, got that out of my system. I feel better now. Just had to say it.

    Those elephant jokes – the sillier they are, the more I love ’em.

  41. Calgary says:

    So whoever the mysterious H.A. is over there, she/he really seems to have an inside track.

  42. turquoisewaters says:

    And to think that just a week ago I was so morose. Eighties cover album – my a$$!!!

  43. turquoisewaters says:

    Calgary: I thought the same thing.

  44. TLKC says:

    Ron, I think the surprise guests refers to other iHeart artists, who will be announced throughout the summer. It is a separate announcement at the end of the list, not part of the Queen+Adam performance.

    The rumours about Miley and Keith being judges had been circulating on twitter since GMA tweeted yesterday that they would be joining Ryan Seacrest to make a special announcement on this morning’s show. That’s partly why I was watching. (skeered!) I didn’t want to make anyone feel down about something so speculative so I didn’t mention it here. Media didn’t pick up on it so I’m thinking it was idle speculation.

  45. josephine says:

    Hope that Psy is NOT the special guest in Vegas!!!!! I want to GOOOOOOOO Shock Cry Cry

  46. asifclueless says:

    LOL …. More elephants … please … Calgary.

    rs Hope you’re rested from your wonderful journey. Don’t unpack yet. A trip to Vegas is waiting for you.

    aely I love you and I get you. You’ve loved Adam perfectly as Adam sings, ” … I’m a freak. Thanks for loving me. You’ve done perfectly … ”

    I miss your avi, your posts and all the goodies you bring here.
    It’s long enough of your break from Adam. Get your aarse back here .. you hear! …. PLEASE!!!!!!!! Grin

    Well, it was 3KU1 who ran with it all day yesterday, so I’m still not sure whether H.A. is in the know or a dedicated stan who leaves no stone unturned and isn’t afraid to put it out there. 3KU1 got a lot of flack for it, too.

    NVM Krad. There’s still a chance he’ll fail Grin

  49. TLKC says:

    Nice to see you aely! Love your posts and hope to see them coming strong again, soon.

    LOL Josephine, you don’t want to be part of a live gangnamstyle dance? It isn’t on your bucket list?

  50. Kradamour says:

    NVM Krad. There’s still a chance he’ll fail

    Bite your tongue, TLKC!
    Shock

    I know that we have said it before, but it really DOES seem that all is aligned this time, simply because there is strong positive movement on many fronts: television, Queenbert, new label for new music…I think that even the downest Debbie would have to look at this and feel confident about our boy’s future.
