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!

    nkd: Wow, I love that chart, so informative. Thanks for digging it up.

    Hi y’all. Quick post. London coming fast. Have to learn proper tea etiquette so they don’t throw me out of the Ritz! Grin
    My son was in Las Vegas this past weekend and he said that in 3 different casinos, he heard WWFM, If I Had You and NCOE. One in each casino. He said Adam Lambert’s music was all over Vegas which was good to know. Yes

  4. nkd says:

    kradamour Thanks once again for saying in he most articulate way what we all feel as fans of Adam Lambert. Why are we so in tune (pun) with his voice, music, persona)and others can’t or don’t see it, yet we can FEEL it? It’s beyond me; but it’s real and he’s for real! It’s almos like there’s a whole mass of people ot therewho are tone deaf or maybe just can’t listen.

  8. little dutchess says:

    Kradamour says :

    I have to admit that I feel a certain amount of smug-ness (which I hope is not a regular part of my character) on behalf of all of us who are able to appreciate Adam’s skills and to love him for who he is.
    And sadness for a society and pop music taste that overwhelmingly reward such lyrics as “baby baby baby oh”.

    Sorry I forgot to paste in the quote I was referring to above. Better late than never!

    Hi glambotgram!

    I just spent nearly an hour composing a comment to post on the Toronto Sun website. I rarely get involved and respond on those kinds of forums but, after reading the awful comments that followed the poll, I just had to add something!

    This is the second time now that this kind of thing has happened to me. I spend too much time putting together a response and, when I finally finish and go to post it, the comments have been closed! They were already bad … they must have gotten worse. Rolls Eyes

    With it still bottled up inside of me, forgive me as I let it out here …

    Fortunately, close-minded, bigoted, homophobic people, along with their hateful views, are a dying breed. Very slowly but very surely a time of awareness, understanding and acceptance is emerging where intelligent people are respectful towards each other and treat people and their differences with dignity.

    Instead of cleverness, homophobic slurs masked as humor, only shows one’s ignorance. For the lack of compassion and disregard for another human being, this mentality is unacceptable and is to be pitied. To diminish another person’s accomplishments in order to feel better about oneself is unfortunately all too common and also all too sad.

    Everyone is allowed to think anything they want but not everything needs to be expressed verbally or on a blog especially if it is to undermine and disrespect another person’s achievements based solely on their sexual orientation.

    It’s an old adage, and an arguably corny one, but it is nonetheless true: “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say it”.

    It’s not that difficult. Give it a try.

    There. I feel better now. I think. IDK

    Pride Day can’t come soon enough for me right now. Toronto has one of the largest in North America with yearly crowds estimated to be between 500,000 to over 1 million. It’ll be very nice to be shoulder to shoulder with, let’s say, over 1 million people who could care less if one is gay, straight, purple, blue or green.

  10. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Ron, that was a beautifully written post – I’m so sorry that you weren’t able to post it on the blog for which it was intended. Of course I agree with everything you said, but I think the part that stood out for me is this: … “treat people and their differences with dignity”. Wow, what a concept! Can you imagine what the world would be like if people treated each other with dignity? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and response with us.

  11. milwlovesadam says:

    Ron, beautifully stated. Now, save that as a file. Then just copy it into a place next time you need it. And, hopefully, you won’t need it again.

  12. ultimathule says:

    Do the same thing, Ron – compose these great comebacks (sometimes just in my head) – helps to calm me down sometimes.

  13. Calgary says:

    Beautifully expressed, Ron!

  14. Calgary says:

    Is this a good thing????

    Adam Lambert ‏@adamlambert

    UK Glamberts I have a treat for you, I’m giving away #BetterThanIKnowMyself for FREE through @AmazonUK just click : http://smarturl.it/BTIKMfree

  15. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Calgary, maybe it’s like the free download we got when we bought the CD? IDK, recording artists just don’t make much $$ from album sales anymore (unless you’re Adele). Can’t believe Alan Jackson only sold 74,000 his first week – I don’t love country, but I’ve always enjoyed his music.

  16. turquoisewaters says:

    Late to the party about the Toronto Sun. I checked and was glad to see comments (and I assume those were the homophobic ones) were removed. Flagging them seems to be a good strategy. I am still sad Ron -and others- had to read them. It is not right.

  17. ultimathule says:

    The 2009 five-part Slezak interview was just posted over at Adam’s F Word thread – watched all of them again. Gawd, they’re great.

  18. nkd says:

    Ron, I love your meticulously composed post, too bad you weren’t able to post where it was intended. Do keep it just in case!
    I believe that we are getting there, where understanding, acceptance and respect prevail. Unfortunately there will always be some idiots in the mix, which is sad.

  19. glambotgram says:

    Ron I am so sorry there were such awful comments under that thread. I just thought it was funny that they were having their own poll, sort of rehashing the one that was already don.
    I have to admit I rarely read comments under these articles, I know I love him and others that don’t or just have vile hatred for him, just don’t interest me. We are not going to change their minds within the confines of a comment section. But I do love your response and think you should save it, like mils suggested so you will be ready next time.

    Did anyone see Hillary Clinton’s video posted for
    Pride Month?

    Love reading Sexiest Man everywhere today. Although I keep thinking “Where have you people been?” We have known this for a long time.

  20. ultimathule says:

    “It does seem to be a hangup for a lot of consumers.” – BBC article. Interesting – wonder if he thinks that that alone stops people from buying the album.

  23. HK fan says:

    just had to pop on here to say…..’drum roll please’…I just saw the NCOE video on MTVAsia, on the MTV hits programme, right after Goyte and before JB’s boyfriend….so cool. Looked great up there on my tv.

  24. aely says:
  25. Kradamour says:

    Ron, I loved your comment. Mils is right, you should copy and save it for the next opportunity. Every opportunity. It is something that can’t be said often enough, and beautifully crafted.

    Little Dutchess, thank you for your complimentary post. I almost feel as though we are some of the cognoscenti, but in a good way. I was listening to the radio today on the way home from school and turned it to a music station instead of NPR. After each song, I tried to think of one of Adam’s songs that could follow it. I came up empty every time. And this wasn’t a rap and crap station (riskylady, I crack up every time I think of this term!), it was a station that actually plays pop music: Maroon 5, Gaga, Perry, Rihanna, Britney…so much sameness and simplicity. We’ve probably beaten this topic into the ground recently so I’ll stop here.

    ulti, those slezak interviews are some of the best ever done with Adam, IMO. Slezak ‘got’ Adam, and Adam responded. It was like watching a conversation that they were having, not an interview for production.

    Re the free download of Adam’s BTIKM: Gaga did a free download of her whole album as soon as it came out. Kanye has done free downloads. I think it is a recognition that peeps ain’t gonna pay for music anyhow, so they may as well have the best to listen to and get enthusiastic about, because the money is made in touring.
    No one has found a way yet to download attendance at a live concert for free!

  26. JOJOSIE says:

    I haven’t seen it posted here but over at MJ’s there’s a thread about Carrie Undewood, saying in an interview that she’s for Gay marriage. She said despite her very ultra Christian background that her church loves everyone and she can’t imagine not being able to marry someone you love and want to marry. I think she on the right track lets hope someothers wake up. Yes

    #2ndGlamilyReunion is a go! It will be from 5-7 the night of the concert (7/21).Tickets go on sale this Friday. More details to come.:^)

    I wonder if the freebies and reduced prices is an effort to boost the numbers. Don’t they just look at the number of units “sold” instead of the amount of money paid?

  29. nkd says:

    aely, are you taking a friend with you to the Winstar concert? If not, we could buy tickets together, if you like.
    I guess we should take further discussions of this to the Spring planning thread.

  30. ultimathule says:

    On twitter, ran across short interview dated 6/11/12 – AppWrap – Bell Media – bnnprodown.com.edgesuite.net

  31. aely says:

    Nkd, she wants a ticket but yes lets buy together. If she doesn’t go we can try and sell it for her but she is in as of now.

  32. glambotgram says:

    ultimathule I just saw that interview and was coming here to find out if we knew about that app. i haven’t read anything about it anywhere. Looks really cool, but is probably only for iphone.

    reposting the link for you.

    Here is an interesting app – it is for android, though. Alas, I have a webOS phone…

  34. ultimathule says:

    Thanks, glambotgram – amazing how these things pop up.

  35. glambotgram says:

    Kradamour I don’t think that is it. The one he talks about is directly linked to Trespassing. It works between your phone and the CD case. Also looks like you can have Adam pop up in a picture.

  36. nkd says:

    The app is zappar.
    http://zappar.com/get-zappar/

    It works for apple and android.

  37. glambotgram says:

    nkd how did you find that/ I was looking all over. You are the internet ninja. Handshake

  38. nkd says:

    aely, are you available Friday morning for ticket buying stress?!!! Wink
    Texas and I were going to try for the VIP tickets, is that ok with you?

  39. nkd says:

    how did you find that

    I don’t remember! I downloaded it and it’s cool. Wouldn’t have paid for it though!

    I think I’ve developed memory loss after dealing with my MIL 3 full days this past week.

  40. aely says:

    YES! How is the best way to do this?

  41. nkd says:

    aely, Texas and I were going to be on the phone with each other while we were trying for tickets to see who gets the best seats. Would you like to join in? Are you on the fansite? If not, I’ll leave my email on the Spring/Summer thread. I’m NKD on ALF.

  42. glambotgram says:

    Well thank you for finding it nkd I don’t think it will work on anything I have but it looks pretty cool. I thought it was an app created just for him but I see it is a group of items included.

    How is your MIL doing?

  43. aely says:

    I put my email on the spring/summer thread.

  44. nkd says:

    Thanks aely, I got it.

    glambotgram, thanks for asking, things were bad this week. It’s exhausting.

  45. Kradamour says:

    Kradamour I don’t think that is it. The one he talks about is directly linked to Trespassing. It works between your phone and the CD case. Also looks like you can have Adam pop up in a picture.

    Oh, no, it isn’t the same at all, but I thought it was intersting, Glambotgram. I should have specified that it wasn’t the one that Adam was using.

    Off to bed now – g’nite, peeps! – sweet Adam dreams!
    Heart

  46. nkd says:

    aely, email sent!

  47. ultimathule says:

    What time is it in London?

  48. HK fan says:

    Wow, its 10 in the morning there, where is everyone???

    i don’t think there’s a problem with a free download of BTIKM in the UK, as I don’t think it was going to ne released as a single there. And maybe if people get it because its free, and like it. it will encourage them to seek out his other songs/album.

    OT
    just in case anyone is interested, here’s a short clip of my daughter singing the other night…..unfortunately its not the greatest videoing, and there’s lots of background noise (it didn’t sound that loud in real life), but its very loud on the camera.

  49. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Wow HKfan, she’s really, really good! I listened to all three – gorgeous voice and such a beautiful girl. I can imagine how proud you are of her! High Five!

  50. HK fan says:

    aww thanks TWHE, I didn’t realise when I posted the link it went to all 3, but hey ho… I never uploaded them, hubby did, so not sure if he did it the correct way.
