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!

    Hi asif! Heading off to work and knew you’d be around.

    Want to say to riskylady….AMEN! To your thoughts in the radio stations. I want to write a letter to my local one but I am afraid to say the wrong things and get them angry. I wish someone would compose a letter we can all refer to that would be appropriate to send to these bums to get our point across.

    Hi asif, thought I’d drop in and keep you company for a while..just finished my dinner, and just about to go out and take my 2 youngest to the theatre to see Annie. Went to a jazz and poetry evening last night organised by my daughter (the one in the video)…..so much culture the last couple of days.
    Where’s KSA, and where are you moving to???

  3. LadyNorth says:

    Hi everyone!

    I’ve been lurking now on this site for a few days, and I have to say I am impressed about your intelligent and friendly conversation! I joined another Adam site a couple months ago when I was seriously infected by Adam virus In Love Conversation there is sometimes quite negative, so I was hoping to find better place to visit… I think I did Smile I have to say this is the first time in my ~40 years life to fall like this to any artist! But I have learned I am not the only one Heh I guess most of you are not teens either?

    I am a quite new Adam fan, so please forgive me if I haven’t passed my master’s degree in Adam knowledge yet Laugh I might always be late for discussion because of the time difference – I live in northern Europe.

  4. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Hello to josephine and LadyNorth! It’s so exciting to hear from new posters – so happy to have you join in our fun. I don’t post every day, but I do check in every day – don’t think I could function without it!

    kradamour, so sorry about your hand – hope it’s better soon!

  5. Kradamour says:

    Welcome, Lady North! Nope, not teens, we are all twenty-nine. Now and forever.
    Grin

    Thanks to all for kind words re the hand and my comments.
    Oooh, my posts are “sophisticated”!
    Cool Grin Cool

    I do check in every day – don’t think I could function without it!

    ITA, TWHE. I about died when they started blocking the site at school in May! Felt very bereft…

    So riskylady, how do you really feel about radio?
    Dazed Smile Dazed Smile Dazed

    There is clearly no rhyme or reason to who is played or why they are played or when they are played. All the stations are owned by conglomerates. Kinda like everything else. One giant department store chain decides what peeps will wear, because that is what there is to buy (hello, Macy’s)(and this breaks my heart because back in the day I was a buyer and each city had its own independent department store…I was able to find wonderful things for my customers, spend time in our stores, meet the customers and store staff…now someone sits in a giant office and orders with a mouse click for the whole country)…and it is just as hard to get on Macy’s vendor list as it is for Adam to get played on the radio…
    Peeps who want something else to wear have to seek out the smaller shops, and peeps who want to hear Adam have to seek out the smaller venues and be very pro-active fans and support him like the smaller local shops are supported.
    Bah.

    Have we thought about college radio? Many colleges have stations that broadcast into the community, not designed to just be campus stations. My husband listens to one pretty faithfully. Many of them play all sorts of things.

    Okay, that is about it for this hand now. Ice is my friend!

    Have a great day, peeps!

    Hi LadyNorth and welcome. So when I post something at 6am my time (before work), I’ll know that you, asifcluless, rs, HKfan and a couple of others will be here with me! Cher too because she’s usually up all night!

  7. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Peeps who want something else to wear have to seek out the smaller shops, and peeps who want to hear Adam have to seek out the smaller venues and be very pro-active fans and support him like the smaller local shops are supported.

    That was a very good analogy, kradamour. The reward for shopping at the smaller shops and boutiques is that you usually leave with something far more fashionable and unique than what you would find from the mass-merchandiser. Same with Adam – he may be operating on a smaller scale, but the quality of his music and performance isn’t even comparable to what you get with mass-radio. I still hope he achieves the level of stardom and radio-play that he yearns for, but in the meantime, I’m thrilled to have found this very exclusive “boutique designer” who continually thrills those “in the know”, lol.

  8. HK fan says:

    welcome Lady North….nope not a teen, although sometime I feel like it with all the fangirling I do!!!
    whereabouts in Northern Europe are you, always good to have another European on here. where did you first discover Adam?

    Annie was good, not amazing, but enjoyable. The kids enjoyed it.

  9. milwlovesadam says:

    Had to pop in here.

    WTF??

    The fetus just showed up on The View. Wearing:

    Mushroom colored boots. A long necklace. A pompadour. Double guages.

    And—

    An open vest over a black and white horizontal striped shirt.

  11. riskylady says:

    Thank you, guys, for letting me vent about radio. I would love to write a letter too, luval, but I’m really afraid to do something that might hurt Adam. He has the ability to be a rebel with a smile; I’m more of a rebel with a frown and a pickax!

    Anyway, welcome to josephine and LadyNorth! As a former lurker on MJs for many months before posting, I appreciate the leap to poster and love new voices (I still love you old guys, too – well, 29-yr-old guys).

    Just read back a few pages, have to say HKfan, you have a lovely and talented daughter (I especially liked the Jessie J song), and Ron, who knew you had these hidden talents? Wow, very nice voice.

  12. riskylady says:

    Open letter to the Fetus:

    Dear Justin: Dressing like Adam will not make you Adam. Until you can become 6’1″ with the most beautiful eyes and smile on the planet and a 3-octave voice, grow an eggplant, somehow acquire a modicum of charisma and sexyness, you are still the Fetus. That.is.all.

  13. nkd says:

    Welcome LadyNorth! It’s great to see our little family growing!

    josephine…please don’t worry when you think your posts go unnoticed, they usually don’t! I know that I have been mostly reading through the site in the past days and that happens to many of us at some time or another. Real life gets in the way!

    Bieber’s Back: this time with sex appeal
    http://hamptonroads.com/2012/06/biebers-back-time-sex-appeal

    No comment.
    I can’t hate on him, though. Imitation is a form of flattery. I wonder if Adam’s music is on his iPod? Bet it is.

    He’s just a kid and is almost certainly being driven/controlled much more than Adam ever was. I can’t blame him for the marketing. He is an industry pawn.
    Having said that, I imagine that he cheerfully accepts being a well-paid internationally famous pawn.

    I understand everyone’s frustration that the wannabe has more success than the real thing, but it isn’t his fault.

    (“grow an eggplant”, riskylady?! ROFLMAO in spite of myself!!!)

    Ha..ha.. You’ve got to love Brian May and Roger Taylor.
    It’s hilarious!!!

  16. glambotgram says:

    Welcome Lady North I am glad you found us!

    riskylady WTH is with Bieber, it is way more than coincidence now. Love your letter.

    Mils The key question is, Did The Fetus have a pink and blue plaid shirt tied around his waist?

    Nile Rodgers is trying to get Adam to fly to Montreaux Jazz Festival to perform with him and Sam Sparro on July 13. He is even offering someones private Airplane.

  17. asifclueless says:

    Welcome josephine and LadyNorth.
    Love to have more people on this playground. The more the merrier. Heart Rose

    Krads, Hope your hand gets healed soon. Please Take care.

    riskylady

    I love it when you vent Worship

  19. ultimathule says:

    Would think the Bieb’s handlers are trying to morph him into an older, more adult, sexier vibe. But after seeing the Boyfriend video, think it’ll be a while. Just doesn’t look comfortable. The gals in the vid all look about ten years older than he does.

  20. asifclueless says:
  21. ultimathule says:

    Really hoping Adam can join Sam and Nile on July 13 – that would be absolutely fabulous. So much fun, too.

    And, josephine and LadyNorth – wonderful to have you here. Came here quite a few months ago and have never left – it’s the best. What’s terrific, too, is the Adam institutional knowledge of our group – ask a question and, without fail, it will be answered – a video found – an interview located – just amazing.

    And, Krad – hope that hand heals quickly. Gotta keep us entertained with your great posts.

    P.S. riskylady – we could have a mind meld – similar thoughts – some driving me crazy.

  22. Miss Chaos says:

    Beiber has a white t-shirt on my View show? When he sang that song solo, it was absolutely horrible. He would not make the first cut on any singing show. He has been groomed and dressed for years by his people, and now that he is 18 and on his own, he has no idea how to sing and act or dress. Remember he hung out with Adam in London, and I wouldnt be surprised if he really is in awe of Adam, so he is trying to copy him in singing and dressing.

  23. ultimathule says:

    Remember that evening, Miss Chaos – think Adam was partying after learning about the #1 debut? Katy Perry there? Do you think Adam and Bieber actually met again that night? Interesting, if so.

  24. LadyNorth says:

    Thanks everyone for welcoming me, and Luval for the info I am not the only one in a night shift Big Smile I believe it’s +9 or +10 hours here, depends on which US time zone this site is? And HK fan, thanks to you I found this site – you gave a hint on another site and I managed to google myself to the right place…?? To recognize me, use the first letters Smile . I had visited some other sites earlier but they seemed too “messy” or difficult to follow. This one I had not found before, and liked.

    There was an interesting thread to introduce the beginnings of your Glambert life – it was nice to read the stories of how you were introduced to Adam. But no one had written there for a long time, so I wasn’t sure if anyone checks it anymore. Most of you seem to be Adam fans since AI. Please don’t shoot me, I saw him in AI (they show it in my country too) and thought he was something special, but it took me 3 (wasted? Cry ) years to follow what he’s been doing since then… Have to add that I am not following pop music or radio, so I am an old fart who keeps listening to her good old albums Laugh Laugh

    Anyway, it was this spring I saw his name on the headlines and became curious what he’s been doing. It was a road I couldn’t turn back… I read some common news and wikipedia first, then started searching youtube. His Idol performances (didn’t remember he was SO good and what he had performed back then), Glam Nation performances, and then tons of great interviews from the beginning of this year. Every video lead to ten new… It was grazy, I couldn’t stop (spent couple of full nights too I have to confess). Besides his great voice, I fell in love with his magnetic and sexy performance style, open and honest personality, intelligence…

    I wish there was someone else “new fan” I could share feelings with. You can just imagine what it was like to digest all his stuff at the same time!!! Old album, new album, Glam nation tour… Sometimes I felt quit confused because I like his current style very much but I also liked the glam thing – oh he was SO hot on tour videos Razz ! I sometimes read some old threads to find same kinds of feelings from others – understandably old fans were fully in with current issues.

    It’s been crazy 2 months almost out of reality Laugh ((un)fortunately I was in a situation where I was able to concentrate sometimes full time to my new treasure). My friends are surprised of my strong reactions, they don’t share my enthousiasm or love in this… That’s why I search it in here. I am slightly coming back to reality after studing and watching Adam so much, I have started to do other things again Smile But I can’t stop following what’s going on. I have always liked music, it gives me a lot emotionally when it’s my kind of music. But this is the first time I go behind the music – and the person who performs it.

    Thanks for reading (or skipping Jump ). I put a question in Queen+Adam London thread, I am also going there Big Smile My virgin concert… And I like Queen too, for more than 15 years. I am very unhappy I missed FYE and GNT, maybe never hear those songs live Cry But better now than never?

  25. Kradamour says:

    LadyNorth, loved your post! I have wondered what it would be like to discover Adam almost for the first time. Thank you for the insight!

    Re the threads that appear to be moribond – put your post there and then just put a small post here to let peeps know there is something new there to check out. We have been doing that lately for the summer travel plans posts.

  26. riskylady says:

    LOL Ultima, yes, mind meld! I’ve been thinking the same thing.

    I think Bieber just saw Adam partying with Katy Perry, the Wanted, Jessie J, Carly Rae, et al, after the G-A-Y performance. They all performed in a CapitalFM concert at Wembley that day, and were at a club called CirqueduSoir when Adam and Sauli joined them. The club even tweeted them all afterwards saying they made the night special, and a London tabloid also picked up the story, mentioning Adam and Bieber. LOL I do believe Bieber is starstruck, maybe like the rest of us. Can’t blame him, I guess. (But I do.)

  27. riskylady says:

    LadyNorth, loved your story of Adam immersion. Sort of like mine, only I did discover him a little earlier, by watching the AMAs. I always refused to watch Idol, and never even read my copy of EW with him on the cover. But after the AMAs, read the story about his New Year’s Eve show being cancelled and began trying to find his replacement gig and videos, watched them, and was HOPELESSLY AND COMPLETELY GONE. Been that way ever since. I still had to go back and watch all the Idol and Idol tour stuff (hooked on Bowie medley for life). My family misses me.

  28. LadyNorth says:

    Thanks Kradamour Smile Sometimes (another site) I have felt like it’s a crime not to be an early fan or not to know everything about him… Maybe there should be a site or thread for new fans? But I love though oldies’ comments and knowledge. And know quite a lot already myself too.

    Ulti, I really agree your thoughts about Bieber’s video. Some weeks ago I decided to watch the video (Boyfriend) to see who is this Bieber and was shocked that he is supposed to be 18. He looks like.. 14? Nothing against him, but I feel like if I was his fan the way I am Adam’s it’d feel like child abuse Grin He is a cute baby but his appearance or voice doesn’t give me any kicks – let little girls have him.

  29. ultimathule says:

    What an incredible event, LadyNorth, to experience the full Adam tsunami in such a short time. It was life-changing enough for me to get it in real time since Idol in 2008. It’s one crazy trip we’re all on – and a real roller-coaster one at that.

  30. LadyNorth says:

    Riskylady,

    I think my male companion has also been confused because of my intense attention to internet lately… Time to time I recognized the symptoms of serious addiction Shock I know there’s still a lot of things to watch (like Idol tour) but now I can leave them to wait Smile It’s nice to find some old pearls time to time… And I have my own large “library” of sites, with favorites I watch often again and again.

    Today again too much time online, because I am alone and decided to register on this site. It’s slower for me to read and write, because English is not my first language.

    Now I have to start my evening duties (it’s almost bedtime). But thanks for the nice first interaction evening on this site! Big Smile Handshake Rose

  31. turquoisewaters says:

    LadyNorth: Welcome!

    started searching youtube

    that’s the point of no return!

  32. Oksana2000 says:

    Good Afternoon my friends!!
    Thanks for your concern, I’m OK, just don’t like to write on a tablet.
    But I’m reading every word you are posting and I go thru ups and downs when it comes to Adam like all of you. Somehow there is more ups than downs, our boi is a brilliant performer and even if Trespassing will not make a big splash he will do OK, believe me. Enough to keep him in his designer clothes and shoes… Smile

  33. turquoisewaters says:

    Whenenver I see Bieber perform now, Mrs Chaos‘ sensational post from a couple of days ago immediately comes to mind.

    So grab all your useless crotch all you want, its a big waste of time!

    That post made my day!

  34. ultimathule says:

    “started searching youtube,” – “point of no return” – turquoisewaters – so funny – so right.

  35. adamized says:

    LadyNorth you captured perfectly how my I felt when my addiction kicked in. It really doesn’t matter that yours started a few years later than mine. Like anyother addict, I’m slightly jealous remembering the intensity of my addiction and the excitement I felt every day coming home from work and running to my computer. Though you didn’t get to see Adam’s GN tour, you have much good times ahead of your starting with QUEEN!

    I still love our BB and spend way too much time on the computer and iphone checking on his every move but the intensity of those first several months can’t be matched. Like all obsessions they do calm down a bit. So happy to have you enjoying the wild ride with us.

  36. Oksana2000 says:
  37. turquoisewaters says:

    Thanks for stopping by, Oksana! Miss you. I contributed to the Adam Lambert Shoe Fund today by buying yet another copy. <<This should be a bumper sticker!

  38. Oksana2000 says:

    Turq,hi! (waves). I love your bumper sticker, I don’t know which fund needs more monies, Shoe of Jacket.. Smile
    Funny thing with fans, two of my friends who liked him on Idol, don’t like TS, but my other friend who didn’t even know he existed got hooked of Adam after watching EMA performance and loves Trespassing.This is what I call an unbiased fan.She even bought FYE and I had to stop her, cause she was going for BegForMoney and TakeOne.
    My other friends who didn’t like TS are somehow stuck in the oldies era music and are deaf to anything else.

  39. luval says:

    hahaha useless crotch Grin Laugh Laugh ROTFL

  40. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Hi Oksana!! It’s so good to see your posts – we miss you when you’re “gone”, but I share your dislike for typing on a tablet. There are alot of things I love about it, just prefer typing on a real keyboard (and I have a keyboard for my iPad, but don’t like it much either). Anyway, glad to “see” you! Smile

  41. HK fan says:

    Ladynorth aka LN??????. wow you did well to find this site on the info I gave, which was ‘a friendly site, where everyone makes you feel welcome and no trolls”…. or words to that effect.

    riskylady Its a good job I hadn’t quite got my OJ when I read the ‘grow an eggplant comment’….otherwise I’d be on keyboard cleaning duties now.

    I had actually forgotten about the thread on how you got into Adam. Should go back for a read.

  42. eywflyer says:

    Numbers update…don’t read any further if you are looking for good news Big Frown

    Comparing Top 40 adds (U.S. monitored stations only) for BTIKM and NCOE, with all stations having reported for this week:

    BTIKM:
    Pre-impact date: 4
    Impact date: 7
    Post-impact 1st week: 6
    Post-impact 2nd week: 2
    Post-impact 3rd week: 0
    Total adds through 3 weeks after impact date: 19

    NCOE:
    Pre-impact date: 3
    Impact date: 7
    Post-impact 1st week: 5
    Post-impact 2nd week: 3
    Post-impact 3rd week: 0
    Total adds through 3 weeks after impact date: 18

    For this week’s add cycle overall, NCOE picked up one HAC add (Orlando) and one non-monitored Top 40 add (Utica NY).

    Also the final HDD report is in – Adam does not appear in the top 50. #50 sold 9K this week, and Trespassing sold 8K last week, so that doesn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know.

    I really wish there was some good news to report…

  43. milwlovesadam says:

    Good News to Report:

    ( Not gonna wallow in negativity like i did last week)

    He is getting great press and PR in London.

    Nile Rogers wants him so fracking bad for Montreaux that he’s willing to hire a private jet to get him from London to California and back in 48 hours.

    He’s with Sauli shopping, and eating healthy and

    REHEARSING WITH QUEEN!!!

    He’ll be performing in two weeks with Queen

    He’ll be in San Fran in 5 days.

    He’ll be on Graham Norton in 11 days.

    And, a fetus is copying him.

  44. milwlovesadam says:

    Ladynorth, I am impressed with your new-found dedication and obsession. Honey, we have all been there!!

    I fell into the “awe” at “mama”, and went to You Tube with an early performance on AI and fell deep into the glitz. Just coming up for air now.

    If you ever want recommendations for particularly good performances or interviews, just ask. We will provide. With pleasure.

  45. dcglam says:

    I feel like if I was his fan the way I am Adam’s it’d feel like child abuse He is a cute baby but his appearance or voice doesn’t give me any kicks – let little girls have him.

    You are so right, LadyNorth! I teach 11/12/13 year-olds, and they are his biggest fans. OMG… They come to school dressed in purple (his favorite color) and even have mock weddings after school hours that they have told me all about. Nuts!! I recently watched the Today Show tape from Bieber’s appearance a few days ago. Interesting audience…. Ages seemed to range from pre-school to high school. It will even be more interesting to see how his future pans out in ten years. I have issues with fame coming way too fast at an early age. I always feel that these young celebrities are just way too young to handle all that is involved.

  46. HK fan says:

    also good news, Adam went from 800 and something to 92 on the UK chart in the last week and a half.

  47. Miss Chaos says:

    I’m glad you’all are getting a kick out of my useless crotch remark. Stupid things like that just pop into my head when I am typing, I hope I havent offended anyone. Any why the heck isnt there a smiley for Crotch!? We could use it for Adam too ya know! Clap Clap Clap

  48. luval says:

    Was just at the pet store with my Adam shirt on. The cashier said “you like Adam Lambert”? duh…of course I told her all about my travels. I did ask if she got his new album yet. Oh, he has a new album? She was young. And mentioned it again before I left. The one time I changed bags & didn’t have one I could gift her.

  49. fwachdr says:

    Asifclueless–that Brian May/Roger Taylor YT commercial is hilarious!! Thanks for posting! And one more welcome to Lady North! fwachdr stands for “Froggie went a courting he did ride”, a song my dad sang to us kids when we were little, and my friends call me “froggie”. I mostly lurk but love everyone on this fun thread!!!

  50. luval says:

    No wallowing for me either! Thank you eywflyer & thank you mils. It’s good to see both sides of the coin. We need reality checks good & not so good!
