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!

    I wonder what source Kroger uses for it’s music.

    My guess would be Sirius Satellite Radio. I remember hearing WWFM very early on at a Hilton Hotel lobby. I actually went and asked the hotel peeps where it was coming from. Satellite Radio was their answer. Shortly after IIHY came out, I heard it at my hair salon. I received the exact same answer to the exact same question.Wink

    Don’t think they are holding hands. Sauli is holding something in that hand
    and there are other pics same time frame/scene – no hand holding.

    Watch your mailboxes. FAULT just arrived (in Northern California). Excellent condition, clear plastic wrap.

    I LOVE that plaid shirt! He bought it in Paris. He wore it with Baby Riff. He wore it in WB (and I missed it, alas). So bizarre around his waist, though. There is already a shirt under his jacket. So instead of taking off the jacket, he took it off, peeled off the shirt and put the jacket back on. Sometimes I wonder. OTOH, it is hard to tie a leather jacket around one’s waist.

    I loved the post on the previous page. Totally true. Loved that she mentioned Serbia, too, the land of my ancestors. But yes. I have copied and pasted it into a document to keep in my Adamphernalia box.

    Need to catch up on earlier posts but I fell and injured my hand. This is it for the typing tonight, gonna leave the computer. If you don’t see more posts from me, no worries, I am just nursing an injured hand. Nothing broken, btw.

    So an early g’nite peeps!
    Sweet Adam evening!
    Heart

    YAY turquoise isn’t it beautiful? Wait, did it arrive today? On a Sunday?

  7. dcglam says:

    Ouch, Kradamour!!
    Take care of that hand — so sorry….. Frown

  8. glambotgram says:

    AWW Kradamour Hope your hand feels better soon.

    BTW I love that shirt too. He had it on in my elevator encounter and M&G. I guess some peeps, who are not quite as familiar with his wardrobe as some of us, were asking why he was wearing a kilt. Big Smile

  9. sparkle says:

    Hope your hand heals quickly, kradamour! How unlucky to injure a part needed to play in this sandbox, lol. Although I’m sure it won’t stop you, thank goodness!

    glambotgram – At first glance, I’ll admit that I thought it was a kilt. That shirt has special memories for me too – racing out of the hotel to call to him across the street – ” Adam, good luck tonight. We’ll all be there!” To which he turned and acknowledged me with a nod of the head and a smile! Never forget that moment! Can’t believe that it was less than a month ago! Should we have a one month anniversary party here on 6/25 if things are quiet after San Fran?

  10. turquoisewaters says:

    glambotgram: it must have arrived Sarurday afternoon. Luckily nobody looked and I found it today. Didn’t open it yet. I’ll wait until tomorrow when everbody is out of the house so I can savour the moment. Laugh

    thanks for the update turquoisewaters as I am in far northern California!!!! I’ll keep my fingers crossed mine will be here tomorrow—-keep the faith!!!! Grin Big Smile Grin

  14. dflowers says:

    Ron. I didn’t know you were in the theater! Me too! I still try to do at least one show a year, either a musical or even a “straight” play. Barbra was my inspiration to start singing. When I saw her in Funny Girl that was it. Then in high school I was in my firs t musical and I was hooked! My favorite role of all was Bloody Mary in South Pacific. Someone posted a picture of me as her on facebook so you might have sen it since we are FB friends. Great to have something else in common with you other than Adam Grin

  15. ultimathule says:

    Can you do the 3D, nkd? I can usually do it – have a bunch of books where you can stare at the pics and make them 3D. Is it different here? Do I need the glasses from the movies?

  16. riskylady says:

    The pics are stereo. That is one of Brian May’s hobbies, he has collected and restored tons of old stereo pics from a town in England, covering several years. Remember those old viewers that had the glasses and a frame attached for putting the pics in, about 5 or 6 inches from the lenses? But someone on Twitter said if you cross your eyes and look at them, you’ll get 3 pics, and the middle one will be 3-D.
    Haven’t tried it yet LOL.
    You can read through Brian’s blog and maybe find references to this hobby of his.

  17. ultimathule says:

    Yes – I like the books with the 3D effects – can usually do it – just have to relax your eyes. Someone said the older you are the easier it is as your muscles aren’t as strong. When it finally snaps in, it’s amazing. Gonna go back and try again.

  19. nkd says:

    I was able to see the pics in 3D ulti.
    I had to go to the middle pic with the alternate drummer and I could see it there. Then scrolled to the other pics and the effect stayed.

    Look, sort of letting your eyes cross, in the middle until a third pic appears, that one is 3D.

  20. rs says:

    That “alternate drunner” is Roger’s son!
    What am I doing here when I still have packing to do?

  21. glambotgram says:

    Well so far in the stereo pics I get 4 Adams, not really a bad thing.

  22. luval says:

    I have to try again, glambotgram. Didn’t work! I see Duran Duran is on GMA now. Simon LeBon’s voice is still pretty good. His hair needs an update, though. Dresses similar to Adam…blue suit jacket & jeans.

  23. luval says:

    So my local radio station is playing Karmin on heavy rotation but they won’t play Adam.

  24. k_in_cal says:

    Not sure if this is ok to post here (let me know if it’s not).

    If anyone knows anyone looking for tickets to FS, I have 4 available, at cost. They are located in Sec NN Row K. I will also post on the fan club site.

  25. ultimathule says:

    4 Adams – lol

    Hi dflowers!

    Please send a message or leave a wall posting on FaceBook so that I can know who you are, okay? I’m sorry but I missed seeing the photo of you as Bloody Mary.

    Oddly enough, my least favorite role of all time was Joe Cable in “South Pacific”. Really, really don’t like the song “Younger Than Springtime” … and the Director had me do it with my shirt off (ugh!). “You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught” was a little better but not by much. The only thing I did enjoy was singing the brief reprise of “Bali Hai” … your song!

    Best part of it all for me was when my character died. Grin

    See you on FaceBook!

  27. luval says:

    The interview from Poland with Brian May has a couple of things which I find interesting:

    We’ve been working in a studio for a month, even though we’re only doing a few numbers with Adam but we want everything to be as it should be.

    So it’s only a “few” numbers with Adam?

    And this part:

    What song is the most difficult to play in shows?

    We don’t play the toughest ones. We make life easier for ourselves. One of those tracks is for example Bohemian Rhapsody. If we wanted to play it like the studio recording, we wouldn’t be able to. There are too many voices in there and our own, of course. We recorded it on several paths. There are several guitars. That track is like a painting, put together by many colours. On stage we make it into a show with video and light because playing it live would be stupid.

    Should be interesting to see how much of this Adam will sing.

    And, Bieber continues to emulate Adam. Really, Bieber? Do you have to be so obvious?

    ←Jessa Ritter ☮ ‏@JessaRitter
    Justin Bieber, do you like how Adam dresses? Seems like you do, since your wearing it XD http://pic.twitter.com/9kQgLsuC

    Sound wave jewelry from the woman who gave him the BTIKM pendant in DC I think, when our Fab Four was there? I hope I am remembering this correctly.

  30. luval says:

    oooooh that Bieber copying Adam is really starting to irk me more and more. Mad

  31. Miss Chaos says:

    There is something scary about the Fetus, or is he something else now that he is 18, lol. But copy him all you want little boy, and sell all your songs, but you will “NEVER” sing like Adam, no matter how you try. And just think Beibs, you will “NEVER” be asked to sing with someone like Queen. So grab all your usless crotch all you want, its a big waste of time! Clock Tremble Clown Clown

  32. luval says:

    Hahaha…useless crotch…you crack me up, miss chaos.

  33. glambotgram says:

    So what exactly is this popjustice quiz that he is on today? I looked up the site and read the FAQ’s. I am still not sure but our boy might be asked about himself, Laugh Laugh Laugh Laugh Laugh
    From the FAQ’s

    I’ve heard something about a popstar genitalia round. What’s that all about?
    That is about a very dark chapter in the history of Popjustquiz and not one we are keen to dwell upon, although if you do attend a Popjustquiz and you do find yourself answering questions about a famous penis or boob, don’t say you weren’t warned.

    GB, eggplant, plenty anyone?

  34. Ceddies says:

    Sooooo, reading back thru the thread…

    Ron, your singing the song for us was sweet of you. You do have a beautiful voice. I’ve never sang in public unless you count church.

    Kradamour, I’m sorry about your hand. Good thing you can at least read the blog even if you can’t do much posting. Take care of your hand so it can recover more quickly.

    Someone mentioned that they may go to see the movie Rock of Ages. I did go to see it on Saturday afternoon. I had no idea what it was really about. Story line was very predictable, but the number of “stars” in it was very surprising. Also, Tom Cruise’s singing amazed me in a good way. He can sing that kind of music very, very well—especially “Wanted: Dead of Alive”. His singing is not in the same vein as Adam’s, though. But whose is? I wouldn’t have wanted to see Adam in that role. And, really, I couldn’t imagine Adam singing those exact songs—-although my friend who went with me said she could imagine Adam doing them. And Julianne Hough could sing pretty well, but her voice seemed a little too delicate to me. But, I’d rate the movie A-, B+. I liked hearing those songs again cause that was my favorite era of music.

    nkd, I hope your mother-in-law is doing better.

  35. luval says:

    Rock of Ages is considered a flop. Kinda too quickly I think. Came in third over the weekend behind Madagascar and something else (Adam Sandler’s movie I believe)

  36. ultimathule says:

    Saw Rock of Ages – music good, acting OK, plot, of course, predictable – but just seemed to lack some sort of excitement – brio – and in spots sorta boring – usually when Hough was around. Yes – just didn’t quite make it for me.

  37. Ceddies says:

    Anyone heard from Oksana? Seems like it’s been a while since she was on. Hope she’s doing at least “okay”.

  38. fwachdr says:

    RL hectic–dropping in here for a bit. I sent my sister in Baltimore one of the CD’s to get her opinion (she is not a Glambert, but she liked a lot of FYE). After one listen she said she liked “most of” Trespassing, didn’t like Cuckoo, thought Shady, NCOE, and Underneath were “OK”, liked Chokehold and Take Back, and REALLY liked OOL, Runnin, and Nirvana. After many listens my favorites are still Shady, Runnin, OOL and Nirvana. Seems to me the lyrics of Runnin are “clean enough” to be a single!

  39. fwachdr says:

    And, kradamour, I hope your hand gets better soon!

  40. Ceddies says:

    Seems to me the lyrics of Runnin are “clean enough” to be a single!

    fwachdr, I agree. IMO, this should have been the first single. But, then again, they may have had in mind keeping this one until the sales/plays/whatever get really slow. Then coming back in with “Runnin” as a single to reignite interest. IDK. Was just a thought.

    I haven’t weighed in with my opinions/likes. I still like Chokehold, Runnin, and Pop That Lock best of all. Followed closely by Take Back and Nirvana. OOL & Underneath cannot be included in my list because they are so “way out there better” and in a total other class than the others. I like Take Back a lot and think it would be good on AC charts. Then the rest of the songs fall in at about the same liking for me: TP, Cuckoo, Shady, NCOE, Kickin In, Naked Love, and BTIKM. The only one I just can’t really like is Broken English. I’ve tried. It has a sound similar to Broken Open from FYE. That was the only song that I didn’t really love from FYE. I know lots of peeps like both of the Broken songs, so I guess that’s why there needs to be choices.

    Also, I think Naked Love could be a hit, but I don’t think it would make it thru whatever screenings in order to get it played. “They” would probably think he is promoting non-use of condoms. UGH! Because other artists could get away with that, but probably not Adam. JMO

    Adam hosted the AM Idol round on Popjustice quiz.

    One of the questions.
    “Kris Allen famously beat off Adam Lambert, but what was the name of Kris’s second album released in 2012.”

    LOL

  42. eywflyer says:

    Another Monday means its the beginning of another numbers cycle…

    First HDD report with 40% of outlets – Trespassing does not appear in the top 50. #50 is Kelly Clarkson Stronger with 1889 units. Usher has 32K in this report vs. a predicted first week sales number of 120-130K, so the final numbers should be at least 3x the ones in this report, possibly 4x.

    51 of the 92 monitored HAC stations now reporting, still just the one auto add at WOMX Orlando. 53 of 155 monitored Top 40 stations reporting with zero adds.

    NCOE is still likely in the mid 50s on Top 40 airplay according to posts at the Adamtopia numbers thread, and still stuck in the mid 30s on HAC airplay.

    We could really use some good news on the numbers front…

    ETA: a bit of good news – NCOE has climbed from #28 to #21 on the Idol Chatter airplay chart this week with a total of 749 spins in all formats.

  43. Ceddies says:

    I was listening to 20 on 20 XM/Sirius Channel 3 this morning. NCOE was number 11.

  44. eywflyer says:

    Ceddies, 20 on 20 is supporting the song very strongly, more so than any other Top 40/CHR station. They have given it 74 spins in the past week according to Mediabase, up from 18 the previous week. I don’t know how they determine their countdown positions, but NCOE has been the second most played song on that station in the past week, trailing only Bieber’s “Boyfriend” which has 99 spins. If only other Top 40 stations would be onboard to the extent that 20 on 20 is!

    WELL, all I can say is either way, that would be handful for Kris!!!! Heh Heh!

    Happiness!!!! Fault has arrived in northern northern California!!!! Just have to endure the Not so “looks of love” from husband with many Adam purchases arriving–more cd’s (gifts), tickets for July 20th in Sac and now Fault!!!! but he’ll get over it–maybe a little jealous???? Thanks so much for all the updates on your orders–hope you all get yours soon!!! anyone checked out Zander Bleck???? He has quite a voice and reminds me of someone we all know and love??????

    Awwww…

    Adam Lambert ‏@adamlambert
    Today in London’s Hyde Park. Photo by Sauli! http://pic.twitter.com/rxIYnLlr

    Twitter peeps are quick to note that the picture has two swans in it, that swans mate for life, and that this tweet is a rare mention of “Sauli” in an Adam tweet. I don’t think that any of those things are accidental.

    I’m so happy that Adam has found his special person, and hope they remain happy together for many years to come.

    Ceddies, I was recently thinking about Oksana as well.
    Yes, I hope things are okay!
