March 2012 Chat

By On 02/29/2012 · 3,662 Comments · In Chat Threads

After a very busy and promo-filled month of February (during which Adam also took time out to attend the Elton John pre-Oscar party pictured above), March figures to be busy as well for Adam and his fans, as he should continue promo efforts for the lead single “Better Than I know Myself” and his upcoming album “Trespassing”. Adam may take some time to put last minute touches on some of the late addition album tracks as well. The album release date, which was previously set for March 20th, has been pushed back to an undetermined time later this spring. I’m guessing sometime in April or early May, but we will see.

Update – on March 23rd, Adam confirmed that the release date for Trespassing will be May 15th!

Enjoy the chat!

    Would you be happy with NCOE if it is the only other single released off of this album?

    Um, no!
    I think all 4 of the songs from the snippets could do really well as singles. It’s just getting the right one out there first, that’s going to smash. It’s so unpredictable though.
    Maybe the promo tour had a lot to do with choosing BTIKM for the first single. It plays best acoustically and shows off his voice.

    luval says:This is funny. I got a message from Barnes & Nobles about the delay of Trespassing. Look at the expected ship date:
    Expected Ship Date: December 31, 2025

    I just got the same email. Guess they wanted to be on the safe side this time around.
    – As for the singles: I wish they could all be singles eventually, because I think they are all good. But my first choice would be cuckoo or trespassing. They have more character than the others IMHO. But, as so many of you have said, whatever produces the biggest hit!
    kradamour: I love that you are making your book project a reality.

    As I recall BTIKM peaked at #19 on iTunes. So far the smash of 2012, future Grammy winner VOL is around #230. I’m curious how high it will go.
    Apart from delusional fans on MJs, Kris fanbase is rather small.
    Lemme see how it’s gonna do on HAC.
    But we never know,right?
    Does anyone here remembers how long did it take for BTIKM to peak on iTunes?

    Both threads at MJs have been pretty civil,Oksana – don’t you think? Perhaps the recognition by Kris’s fans that both boys may have a hard time getting their music played has had an effect.

  5. Oksana2000 says:
    03/26/2012 at 4:26 pm

    Ultima, yes – pretty civil. It seems that Kris fans got their reality check and Adam’s trolls have been banned.

    Wow, Adam really seemed to have a blast belting out that NCOE yesterday in a place with great acoustics! BTIKM too, and his voice was in top form.
    I actually love the song, has a nice melody and lyrics which I think he must find meaningful, otherwise he would not want it on his album.
    Re songwriters: Remember the days when Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Streisand NEVER WROTE ANY SONGS??? There were many brilliant songwriters, Sammy Cahn, Irving Berlin, Rogers & Hammerstein, Cole Porter, Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer,etc. etc. who wrote many songs especially for certain singers. (In fairness, Streisand may have written a couple.)

    Really, I don’t care who writes a song. Remember, FYE and CLYG are both Claude Kelly songs, but do they have a similar sound as BTIKM? Aside from YouTube comments, I never heard a lot of complaints about Soaked being a Muse song – I think it was a show-stopper, and most people loved it. And I wouldn’t identify Fever with Gaga either unless I knew she wrote it.

    I remember this songwriting issue coming up a lot on MJs and it always struck me as a waste of time. Playwrights don’t always act in their own plays, poets aren’t the only ones who do readings of their poems, and songwriters don’t have to be the only ones singing their songs (i.e. opera, musical theater, etc.) It all comes down to interpretation and whether it pleases people. And Adam singing just about anything pleases me.
    Bruno must have his reasons for not recording the song (maybe it’s in the key of “what the f*ck” too). I wish he had removed the demo, but then, the demo of BTIKM was up too for a while. But he is a very successful songwriter and has written for many others too.

    I think the snippets and the performances of these songs are to entice people to want the album. I would buy it just to get the “lush” (per Adam) studio version of Chokehold! The other songs are like the rest of the chocolates in a Whitman’s Sampler. CANNOT WAIT TO TRY THEM!!! I hope they choose a good next single, but I’m pretty much OK with any one of them.
    He is working his butt off with these back-to-back promos, and it makes me sad to hear criticism and doubt coming his way. He has said this is his baby, he loves it and every song on it. Can’t we just be happy for him and hope for the best? He’s the only one who has anything at stake here.
    (End of rant…………..for now.)

    I totally agree with this, riskylady, as well as with your entire post. And yes….

    It all comes down to interpretation and whether it pleases people. And Adam singing just about anything pleases me.

    ETA: I know I said this last night and don’t want to sound like a broken record, but I feel that only a positive spin can come from the Bruno Mars connection. He is a very well-respected songwriter with many fans who may now take an interest in Adam Lambert if they hadn’t before. A total win-win situation to me.

    Ok, this is very cute. Just a few minutes ago, this gal was in line at Whole Foods (in Portland) right behind Adam and Tommy. It sounds like Adam and Tommy were very sweet to her and her friend. Then when they were all outside and walking down the street/across the crosswalk, Sauli joined Adam and Tommy and Adam gave Sauli a kiss. She (the fan) is totally freaking out on twitter, although it sounds like she kept her outward cool reasonably well. LOLOL

    Alexis – Raven ‏ @lexiglam
    I cant believe I was standing in line at Whole Foods and Tommy was in front of me and Adam to my left!

    omg i just saw adam kiss sauli!!!!’nekdjjkdjjjkdxidki!!:8:&;&;

    i was walking behind adam ar the crosswalk and tommy was there wnd theyball yelled SAULI and adam smooched!!!!!!!

    Sauli is soooo fucking goregous!!!!! omg i think im orgasming! This is realnlifeahOalymother!!!!!

    Adam apologized for not sticking around for pics cause he was buying lunch and meeting with Sauli. I totes respect that. <3

    I SaW PDA after walking across the fucking street with Adam Lambert! oMG! This day is better than any m&g I didnt win! omggggggggy!

    @MetalEmpress I am still squeeling right now cause Sauli took his sunglasses off before adam kissed him! Omg Sauli in person is just woah!

    I heard the smooch. I was just a few steps behind Adam! He didnt know I was there but I almost shrieked when I saw Sauli! lmfao

    I didnt want to or couldn't even if I wanted to cause I shrieked Sauli! In a mouse voice. Hyperventialted. Place my hand on mouth. Dead!

    The latest BTIKM numbers:

    Mediabase Hot AC Airplay (3/26/12): #20
    Mediabase AC Airplay (3/26/12): #37
    Mediabase Top 40 Airplay (3/26/12): #50
    VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown (3/24/12): #12
    Billboard Hot 100 (3/31/12): did not chart

    Nothing new really, it made it back to #50 on Pop because of other songs going recurrent, but spins are now decreasing (-27 in the past week). Still a very small number of spins (31) on AC. On Hot AC it was passed by John Mayer but Selena Gomez fell below, so no net movement, and none appears likely in the next few days looking at its neighbors on the chart. The song is still gaining spins, but the rate of increase is slowing again, and not sure where another boost would come from at this point.

    Only one Hot AC add so far today, with 55 of 95 stations reporting. The one add was WMGX (Portland ME).

    Definitely looking like time for another single. I feel bad for Adam – he is working his ass off with all of this radio station promo but it doesn’t seem to be helping much, at least not for BTIKM. Maybe this is groundwork for the next single? I don’t know.

    And Adam singing just about anything pleases me.

    He is happy, in love, and has a new baby that he is getting ready to present to the world. It will be as beautiful as he is, what ever shape it takes coming out.

    Is NCOE too similar to BTIKM? That’s my problem with it being the next single.

    The album version of NCOE is very different from BTIKM (as well as the acoustic NCOE) in that it has a much more pronounced dance vibe to it — similar to (but different from) many of the hit songs that are played constantly on my radio. In my opinion, that’s a good thing. Personally, I’m not seeing (hearing) the similarity part between the two. BTIKM is considered a mid-tempo song while NCOE (album version) seems to be more uptempo.

    You know, it may not be such a good thing for Adam to “debut” his songs acoustically if they aren’t that way on the album.
    JMHO

    03/26/2012 at 5:49 pm

    Just listened to all four snippets on rotation again – the good news is that they’re all wonderful; the bad news is that they’re all wonderful! I really love all four

    Me, too, Texas! The thing is, I feel pretty convinced that all of these songs will eventually make it as singles. The unknown factor here is the order. In my very humble opinion, I feel this next one needs to be huge. I am very willing to leave this monstrous decision up to the RCA executives. They know a whole lot more than I do!

    ETA: Very cute new avi!! Wink

    “Can’t we just be happy for him and hope for the best?” I know I post some criticisms here but of course I AM happy for him and hope for the best.

    Did Adam ever come right out and say “There are no duets on Trespassing?”

    I’ve not been criticizing anything on the album or the snippets, remember I love everything! In Love

    I think Kris having his own thread is a good thing. it will keep people like Nele out of Adam’s thread slinging her nasty arrows. Talking about delusional, she’s already bragging about Kris huge first week sales and that he’s breaking out as a international star, just because they released his single on itunes in a few countries. That woman is cuckoo and not in a good way.

    That has to be Adam, no one else has that hair and those boots. Don’t it look like it Beiber to his right. I’ve seen that kid stand like that so many times, I’m sure that it’s him.

  26. luval says:
    03/26/2012 at 7:07 pm

    I don’t think we have to justify if we criticize or not criticize Adam, his album or anything on this blog. We have a right to our opinions and that’s what I love about being here unlike other blogs where the posters attack each other for not agreeing with them. Enough by me on this.

    Hope we’ll be getting videos from the appearances today. Thanks for those great tweets from that gal who saw PDA between Adam & Sauli!!

    I really loved NCOE, and I’m with rs, I could definitely see it as the next single and think the Bruno Mars link can only help seeing as Bruno is the Golden boy of pop right now. But I’m also with texas I really love all 4 so don’t mind which one we get as long as we get all 4 evenyually….

    That definitely looks like Adam in the Springle pic, it doesn’t look like ONe Direction in the top right, Harry has lots more hair than either of those, and I don’t think any of them wear baseball caps…….there, now you know, I know a bit about 1D (as they’re called), even their names…..

    Love those girls tweets about Adam and Sauli, you could feel the excitment coming through.

    My biggest fear is that too much of the album has already been released. Not our decision though. We all will have favorites and some not so favorite. I would hate to have to make the decision as to which one to put out as the second single because it could be a make or break decision. I feel safe here discussing the fact that some of them are not my favorites; but, as has been said, we will love/like them all because they are Adam’s—and we all LURVE him with his gorgeous self, spirit, and voice.

    Just finished listening to acoustic NCOE. I really like it, can hear signature Adam, has a good sound etc. I know it’s in the back of my head that it’s a Bruno Mars song BUT…I’m on the team that says -whatever it takes, whatever “COMPROMISES” have to be made …to get him on the radio big time and have a hit then go for it!!!. I guess I’d prefer something of his…Tresspassing, Cuckoo but if NCOE can get him more recognition and airplay then that’s what they have to do!!! It makes no difference.. IT’S ADAM!

    OK, I just listened to the full snippet of NCOE again, and I reckon it should definitely be the next single. The words have a lovely message,nothing controversial, no fucks that need bleeping, no naked love images, no asses….and the beat is great, very danceable, could hear it in bars and clubs all over the place.

    Adam: “Cock ‘n Balls?? That’s a donut?? Wow! Sorry ladies! … You guys are liberal out here!”

    So funny! We actually have a Voodoo Donuts shop not too far from where I live, and I can personally vouch for the fact that they do indeed serve a “cock ‘n balls” donut, and yes, it does look like a cock and balls!

    Damn, I love living in Oregon. We are so cool out here! Grin

    Actually, I’m so glad you asked. Prompted me to look up their website. Here you go — scroll down the menu box about halfway down to see a picture of the Cock ‘N’ Balls donut and read a description. I guarantee you will laugh. Check out some of their other menu items too. Wink
