After a very busy couple of weeks of promo and radio concerts following the release of “Trespassing” on May 15, Adam will head to London early this month to begin preparations for his upcoming concerts with Queen. He will do some album promo and a couple of live performances in the UK as well, where Trespassing is set for a July 2 release date. One of these shows is the “Rays of Sunshine” charity event at the very prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London. Adam will also return briefly to the US for a free radio concert in San Francisco on June 24.

Our featured photo (Brian Ach – Getty Images) for this month shows Adam in a very happy mood while performing at the KTUPhoria radio concert. Enjoy the chat!

    Does anyone have info of how ticket sales have gone for Adam/Queen shows in Moscow and Poland? Is there any info on the Kiev show? Is it in Kiev or someplace else?
    I’ve not seen a date or anything.

    Nkd, queenonline.com has ticket info and you can see lots of sold tickets but still many left. No mention of Elton. Hmm

    Sistakrads .. Thank you so much for all of the anime of Les Miz. Tomorrow is my weekend. I’ll enjoy them then.

    I’ll see all of you … in your tomorrow morning, I guess.

    Here’s an article on Blake Hayes, the Houston dj that conducted the interview at the radio promo m&g that Texas and I attended in Houston. He is adorable! He made the comment that he’d like to get in Adam’s juicer, which Adam totally missed as he was talking with Kevin at the time.
    Anyway it’s a nice write up in a local gay publication.

    I just got up and I haven’t read through last night’s posts yet, so forgive me if this has ben posted already, but I couldn’t wait. In this interview, Adam says that he is really looking forwatd to singing UNDERNEATH live! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!
    Can’t wait. Now to go back and hear the end of the interview. I brought it over as soon as I heard him say that, even before hearing the end.

    I can’t watch NCOE on vh1 as I’m outside the US

    Hi HK fan

    I’m outside the US too and the video was blocked for me also. But, using Firefox and installing the Add-on “Anonymox”, enables anyone not in the US to view it. It changes my Canadian IP address to a US IP address. It will change your Hong Kong IP address to a US IP address and you can view the video as many times as you like.

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/anonymox/

    It was late when I started watching and I think I must have played it about 10 times. Then, the views were 1,768. It’s good to see the overnight big increase to over 3,000. Thank you, glambotgram.

    Is *5,000 views some kind of target number? Will that put it into a special category? I don’t know. I seem to remember something about 5,000 views being significant.

  14. glambotgram says:

    I don’t know what 5000 means Ron. On twitter I keep seeing that it needs to get to 20,000.

  15. luval says:

    Hi Ron. Am at work so I can’t view right now, but one of the comments said it has to get to 20,000 view before they’ll put it on the countdown. Who knows if that’s true. Plus all the other factors that supposedly come into play. It’s ridiculous.

  16. Ron says:

    Good Morning glambotgram and luval,

    Thanks. 20,000. I guess we’re not going to see that number by the end of the day. I have no doubt it will reach that figure. It’s only a matter of time.

    I put the VH1 link on my Facebook page and I see where other friends have done the same thing. A small effort but it will now be seen by others who otherwise wouldn’t have known about it.

  17. little dutchess says:

    I’m on Team sparkle when it comes to the album. We do need to be patient. The album will sell as people who appreciate good quality music become aware of it. It will also do well internationally where people seem to appreciate a more sophisticated sound than the rap and crap we have in the US. Adam should do just fine. Even if his album isn’t a huge commercial success, his live performances are electrifying and he will always be able make a good living entertaining his loyal fan base.

    mmm222- ITA. I can’t get crazy about what’s going on. I was so sad last night to read the article someone posted about Bieber’s single getting back on track with the radio stations (and did anyone notice that one of the comments was supposedly from a guy who works at a staton and says it’s “payola” that does it)? I kept thinking how it doesn’t happen like that for our BB and he so deserves it because he works so hard and has true talent. I had to stop reading the blog at that point and do something else.(Yay Celtics (former MA/Boston suburbs gal)!
    If Adam didn’t have the real talent he has it wouldn’t upset me as much.

  18. asifclueless says:

    Good morning ALL.

    There is plenty of little sunshine to wake you up.
    Enjoy gorgeous Adam with your first cup of coffee.

    Ron, I never told you, but I downloaded the Anonymox to my firefox and can now see the previously blocked MTV and Vh1 videos, and other shows. I don’t know if it is supposed to permanently stay in that state, or if I am supposed to switch it there just when I want to watch one of the blocked programs. I couldn’t figure out how to switch it back, so since I don’t usually use firefox, I have just left it as is, and go there when I want to watch something that I can’t see on Explorer.
    So thanx very much

    I’m glad to know that you’ve found it to be useful. It really does come in handy for us non-U.S. residents! If you go to “Tools” in Firefox and click on “Add-ons”, in the drop down window you’ll find it listed and can ‘enable’ or ‘disable’ it. You can also customize it to not include specific sites and it will automatically revert back to your default home country IP address. Very well done, nicely thought out little add-on that manages to do a lot.

    Wow…a little depressing starting the day today after catching up on the posts from last night.

    oh dear, and this is from yesterday morning…i’m afraid to move forward.

    I do feel though that we are an intelligent and deep thinking bunch and there’s been some great ideas presented earlier.
    Adamland’s insight:

    Pop music today is simple, the most simplistic it has ever been even in the beginning. Adam’s music is not simplistic, his vocals are not simplistic

    and Mils keen observations:

    My theory is that “we” are partially to blame. Because so many of the hard core fans are “29″ that show up in droves at his M&G and showcase radio performances. Adam gets us. His reps get us. But, the PTB at the radio stations see “us” and think that Adam won’t sell because we are the wrong demographic. I sometimes do wonder if this fanbase hurts him

    And, of course, there’s the gay thing!

    And the Duke and I sometimes wonder what the continuing effect of the AMAs debacle still may be even now.

    But then we come to our senses and TexasWannaHoldEm reminds us:

    In the big scheme of things, Adam (and his fans) has (have) alot to be thankful for! He has earned opportunities that other artists would kill for. I have to remind myself that it’s not an “all or nothing” situation – he is a very successful artist

    !

    It’s so tough for us but Adam just continues working hard and takes every opportunity as it comes. He has to be pinching himself about performing at the Royal Albert Hall! And how great is it that he was selected to sing with Queen. That’s huge! He appears to stay mostly positive…he doesn’t cry and whine (inside may be different!).We need to also stay focused on the positive and remember all the joy he has brought to us and how much our lives have been enriched by him and his music. I know we just want for him what we know he deserves and the unfairness of so much that ‘s out there is the music/radio world is traumatizing. But the end of Adam Lambert is NOT near. And maybe the best is yet to come!

  29. nkd says:

    #ETADAM @4Music You recently said in an interview that fans crossed boundaries when asking for a hug? Is that (cont) http://tl.gd/hnlvqu

    @glitzylady I love giving hugs! except for when my jackets get big makeup smudges from fans’ faces..or when i get the odd neck sniff/lick.

    #ETADAM @4Music
    You recently said in an interview that fans crossed boundaries when asking for a hug? Is that true? If so, I feel bad because I was one of those blessed with one of your famous hugs and apologize if what you said is true. Thanks you so much for your unwavering generosity to your fans. We appreciate it so much! #Trespassing

    OMG … LOL

    I love giving hugs! except for when my jackets get big makeup smudges from fans’ faces..or when i get the odd neck sniff/lick.

    Does anybody here want to confess about the neck sniffing and licking?

    nkd? mils? krads? … anybody? … Come on…

  37. Ceddies says:

    July 28th will be the one year anniversary of our SpaWatel dinner!

    Wow, ron, I hadn’t made that connection. Thanks for pointing that out. It really makes me hopeful for all of our continued friendships to think that another year has passed and many of us are still getting together. Doesn’t seem that a year could have passed since you and I finally met in person. I’m so happy that we had the opportunity. I so appreciate you—and all my “Adam friends”.

  38. nkd says:

    No neck licking or sniffing from me. I didn’t get a real hug, just the side hug when we took our picture!
    I know we all discuss the sniff, but do some really lick???!!!

  39. rs says:

    haha Asif, we both spotted that tweet at the same time! I didn’t ask for a hug, I was too busy trying to tell him everything I waanted to say before they pulled me away.

    I guess it depends how obvious the sniffing is. I am sure that our peeps have learned to be very subtle about it. Right? Giggle

  40. asifclueless says:

    nkd … That would be me if I had a chance to hug him. He looks so yummy. Wink

  41. asifclueless says:

    rs .. Hi.
    It was great you got to tell him what you wanted to. I would have fainted if I came close to him. So I’m happy to admire him from far away.

  42. Ceddies says:

    It was great you got to tell him what you wanted to. I would have fainted if I came close to him. So I’m happy to admire him from far away.

    I feel the same way, asif. I’m happy for those who want to be close to him and actually do get to do that. But, I’m very sure that I would faint if I came any closer than three feet away from him. So, I never try for the M&G’s. I was about 10 feet from him in New Orleans and wanted to get closer to him—but never wanted to get “hugging” close to him.

  43. josephine says:

    YEH!!!!!! Grin Grin 4th row tickets for Sacramento!!!!! so excited and now I can wear my yellow maxi dress—good present for granddaughters graduation—— Wink Wink

  44. josephine says:

    jlurk—–password is SUMMER if you want to order tickets early—-good luck!!!!!

  45. asifclueless says:

    Ceddies .. I think it’s not just us to feel that way. I saw some photos and videos that some fans were so nervous that they froze or cried or couldn’t utter a word. I’ll be like that.
    Adam has such a powerful presence.
    I really admire people here who can keep calm, composed and proceed to do whatever is needed to.

  46. luval says:

    Hahaha adam must have been talking about me when I sniffed him in Paris! Am so glad I did!

  47. jlurksacto says:

    Thanks Josephine – tickets (2) bought

  48. luval says:

    So a guy at work asked me about my yellow/black striped nail. Told him about Adam (he knew of him & liked him but HATED his first album)…took out my cd from my bag and asked him if he’d like it. He said no…I’ll go home and download the album.

    To make a long story short he said “I WILL NEVER PAY A DIME FOR MUSIC. I ALWAYS DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE AND ALWAYS WILL”. It was useless to even try to get through to this dolt. But I still think this is the number one problem. Illegal downloading. And it will get worse. Good luck to all the wonderful artists and see you on tour because that’s the only place you’ll see the money.

  49. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    luval, I gave him a quick sniff as well! Blush I was pleasantly surprised to find that he didn’t smell like a blueberry – he smelled like a hot man! In Love

    I have two good Adam stories to share! First, I invited a relatively new friend to my daughter’s graduation party last Friday – we’ve known each other for almost a year. Well, at one point during the afternoon my nephew (the special needs nephew who LOVES Adam and went with me to see Adam at Winstar Casino) decided to tell her that his Aunt (me) was “obsessed with Adam Lambert”! I was embarrassed, to say the least … I mean, the comment was quite a departure from the topic of conversation. But before I could offer any sort of explanation, she looked at me and screamed “You’re a Glambert TOO??!!” Well, then we both proceeded to squee and flail, and I drug some of my more prized treasures out of my Adamphernalia Box to show off to her. I asked her if she’d bought Trespassing yet – she had not (not as good a fan as us, huh?) so I gifted a copy to her. She texted later that evening and said she absolutely loved it!

    Next Adam story: Went with my youngest son to watch his girlfriend in a very large cheer competition at Great Wolf Lodge this morning. Of course, the morning was full of great music to cheer and dance to, and they played both IIHY and WWFM! I couldn’t believe it! And, I noticed many of the girls singing WWFM word for word! Smile I texted this to nkd and she said “They need to get the new CD!”

  50. turquoisewaters says:

    luval: Frown . I try to teach my kids to at least pay for the music of their favorites.
    I got a ticket for Sacramento as well – in accordance with my new credo: buy first – figure out if you can actually go later.

    also:male chorus singing WWFM – strangly effective http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoRuZUoTU6Q&feature=player_embedded#!
