adam-tokyo-feb-21
Adam is continuing his “We Are Glamily” mini-tour of Asia as March begins. This tour will proceed to Russia and Eastern Europe later this month, wrapping up in Helsinki, Finland on March 22. Above we see Adam in one of the iconic poses of the tour thus far, at the third Tokyo show on February 21 (photo by @letmelive81). We will see what the rest of the tour holds in store for us this month, and perhaps we will start to get some idea as to Adam’s plans for the upcoming spring and summer as well. Enjoy the chat!

    My memory of it was that he had two simultaneous girlfriends and they lived together; his manner was quite feminine by standards of the day and I remember whisperings of bisexuality but not gay. I loved his attitude a lot more than most of his music, but he was always his own person and yes, maintained a low profile off stage. Agree that he lived his life with a wink and a smile – witness the little video before the Cream performance part and the interviewer asking his girlfriends if they were both dating him and their funny reply. I wonder if Adam has ever talked about Prince?
    Question
    As an influence or otherwise?

    Adam standing in line – we could spot that silhouette a mile away.

  3. ultimathule says:

    AQD called Adam’s suit “Glambert Blue.” In one of the vids above, Prince had on an outfit about the same color.

    Did you guys see that Phillip Phillips is going to be at Rock in Rio? I just don’t get the appeal of a guy with little to no personality and a mediocre voice. They had really been trying to get Adam there and he was first in most polls. Actually, Queen + Adam lead the poll for 2014 Rock in Rio. They have 1443100 votes to the next band, Porta that has 737630 and third is Tokio Hotel with 595050. Think I might save up for that one!

    Other than that it looks like a really great concert.

    I wonder if Adam has ever talked about Prince?

    He has. I can’t put my finger on it however. He attended Prince’s concert in LA a while back with his mom and Sauli. He mentioned loving his B Sides album. He likes the funk influences.
    Adam sang How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore at Upright Cabaret. It’s great!

    When he sings P2 sometimes looks like he’s passing a stone.

    Omg…this talk about Prince last night. I saw him in Syracuse in the 80’s and he was a bad boy. Besides the butt-less pants at the end of one of his songs, all of a sudden there was this stream of white-ish liquid squirting out of the end of his guitar. The audience was howling with laughter. My friends and I were laughing with embarrassment.

    There was no Internet or YouTube then and Syracuse couldn’t have been the only city he did this in. Maybe there’s a video of some sort out there.

    oh mils I am starting to believe your electrode theory. Grin

  14. TLKC says:

    I’m so thrilled y’all love Cream. I actually accessed this site from my iPhone (worked!) to jump up-and-down in a Abdul pool after Kradamour’s post. Sorry about the accessability issue with the video I posted, luval. Online blocking at the border must be a two-way street. Who knew?

    Couple of note: Glambotgram, the video is too soft and slow for me as well. Get your hands on a regular audio version and crank it up. That’s how I imagine Adam doing it. This is a great guitar piece as well. Tommy start practising.

    Chaps would be perfect, nkd! I would prefer black leather to the ones Prince is wearing but the pants will not be the main attraction anyway, LOL.

    FYI, in the 1986 Stratford, Ontario production of Cabaret, Brent Carver (my other passion) wore assless chaps as the MC. Not a PG performance and no one was upset. I would seriously recommend this updated wardrobe plan to the costume designer for Adam’s upcoming Wink production, which we will fund on Kickstarter. Carver also wore them for a production of Tartuffe. Maybe he owns them….maybe we can ask him to lend them…

  15. nkd says:

    TLKC, I never imagined Adam in the lace like Prince was wearing, but I couldn’t find the other assless ones! Leather would def be more Adam’s style, but we are delusional if we think Adam would ever wear these on stage! But I’m willing to continue with my delusions for a while!! Laugh

  16. HK fan says:

    I’ve just been back to the HK thread to watch a couple of videos, and realised there isn’t one there of PTL…love that song.

    And saw a link to my photos up the top…says from our own HK fan…aww, made me feel all warm inside, like part of the gangSmile

    article, Adam on Bowie

    http://www.out.com/entertainment/music/2013/03/12/my-bowie-adam-lambert?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+OutComFeatures+%28Out.com+Features+%7C+Fashion%2C+Style%2C+Celebrity%2C+Opinion+for+the+Modern+Gay+Man%29#.UT86EndODkT.twitter

  17. TLKC says:

    I know nkd. Think most of us are in the leather camp.

    It’s sad that, even today, Adam can’t go as far as Prince and Bowie could many years ago. It may speak more to the mainstreaming of the culture than to Adam’s sexuality. There used to be so much money in music, even for niche performers. The eccentric and the edge was celebrated. It may not have made people filthy rich but it kept them sufficiently flush to keep doing what they wanted. Now there’s so little money to be made that everyone plays and promotes to the centre. Edgy is an act, not the real thing. The real thing scares people.

    ETA: Great article HK Fan!

  18. Oksana2000 says:

    Hi everyone!
    I did some reading on other blog and I realized that MJ changed her format to so called “nesting”. It’s really annoying to follow any discussion right now.
    Re: P2 at festival at Rio, I can only congratulate him on having unbelievable management team that got him great songs and is giving his song great exposure. Boot Idol song, anyone?

    Yes, I’m jealous Adam fan, who can’t stand mediocre singer who happened to ride on coattail of Mumford&Sons and similar popular groups. He is murdering every song he sings, even his own Home (German showcase)
    I guess I’m in the minority that loves good voices.

  19. Miss Chaos says:

    Your not in the minority, that is why we all love Adam, well the main reason. I can not stand listening to PP, the one reason I dont like Beibs, and Swifty, to name a few. There are singers that dont sing to well, but not as that awful stuff PP puts out. Adam makes me want to listen to music again!

  20. TLKC says:

    IMHO, Adam was offered Rock in Rio and he turned it down. Queen was offered Rock in Rio and they turned it down. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

  21. TLKC says:

    Love, love, love the choir version of Trespassing. Hope Adam sees and re-tweets it. Not surprised it’s a boy choir – that’s a guy’s song if I ever heard one. Very in your face. I can see a teacher using it to get boys to sing and dance.

    Seriously, though, someone on the arts faculty is a Glambert. Laugh Wonder if we know her?

  22. TLKC says:

    Oh luval – I answered your Erie video question on the Jakarta thread. I am in SUZ’s video at 0:45 and two other FAB5-ers are in there as well, though I don’t name them. Ron will be able to pick them out. Grin

    Waiting for ulti’s input. Smile

  23. firstimerob says:

    Just got back here…….sorry a little late.

    nkd thanks for posting the Trespassing Choir

    luval thanks for tweeting Adam

    I could easily visualize a complete musical of Trespassing after watching this choir. Love their dance routine, there is a great story there with great music. IMO………….

  24. nkd says:

    The Trespassing show choir performance is great, but y’all should really watch the longer performance that AL posted. There are girls in the choir, just not in Trespassing.
    I do love the fierceness of the boys in it.

  25. Calgary says:

    Oksana, missChaos I happened to catch a PBS fundraiser show Sunday night that was all 1966-1969 Ed Sullivan episodes with the top singing groups. What was most noticeable? They ALL had great singing voices. Even the chorus singers. Sad how times have changed.

  26. luval says:

    Oh yes firstimerob…trespassing the musical on Broadway! Does anyone know someone???

    eta: hate using my iphone to post. Anyway, this is a perfect example why Glee should have an Adam music themed show. The Trespassing album would fit this type of show. Think I’ll tweet Ryan Murphy and send him the Trespassing choir.

    Just now, I thought I heard tapping at my front door but it was so faint that it didn’t really register. But when I thought I heard the same sound again, I got up to investigate.

    I looked through the peep-hole but didn’t see anyone there. I turned to walk away but there was that tapping sound again! This time I opened the door and guess who was there?

    Turtle The Turtle!! Turtle

    The poor thing. He looked like he’d been through a war! You guys really wore him out! His forehead was bandaged and he was wheezing!

    He still has a couple of more deliveries to make but he wanted to return the original DVD to me. Awwww! What a thoughtful and dedicated little trouper!

    Laugh

    Thank you jlurksacto for everything you did, a tremendous favor for me, to make it possible to share the DVD with those who wanted their own copy! Truly, you are one of the most generous, kind and thoughtful persons that I’ve ever met!

    I hope one day to have the opportunity to be as good a friend to you as you have always been to me.

  29. ultimathule says:

    glambotgram – what’s the “electrode” theory? Must have missed that one.

    And the pic – said “fuckin’ awkward” – anyone know what that means?

    Need enlightenment here – thanks!

  30. ultimathule says:

    TLKC – left post on wrong thread or something. In Erie my sister and I were in middle of orchestra on right-hand side – think we are out of range of the camera. One thing regret – apparently he came out afterwards from what I’ve read and talked with fans – another missed opportunity – damn.

  31. ultimathule says:

    Talk that Mayer got P2 Rio as an opening act – don’t know for sure.

  32. ultimathule says:

    What’s “nesting” commentary?

    Looks different over there.

    Exile Fever @ sarah_hurts

    Yess you’re right ” @ WilmaLie1 : @ SASpurs21Fan @ sarah_hurts@ adamlambert HE IS AT Lombok ISLAND.INDONESIA ”

    https://twitter.com/sarah_hurts/status/311506853664264194/photo/1

    Somebody spotted Adam on this Lombok Island.
    And .. what is in my hand right now? … a booklet I picked up at Changi Airport … Discovery Singpore.
    On the back cover there are ads for Gateway to Asia.
    Lombok is one of the destinations.

    Lombok

    Set against the majestic Mt. Rinjani and surrounded by divine beaches and spectacular marine life, the island of Lombok is a magnificent work of nature.
    Surf the massive breaks on the south coast, trek up volcanic peaks, or cycle through lush paddy fields – there’s never a dull moment on this lovely island.

    Adam is having a good time there.
    I don’t know what is hotter … the volcanic peaks or the smoldering Adam.
    Look at this neck porn !!!

    Looks like he got sun on the shoulders, and look at all that chest! More than we’ve seen in a while! Razz

  36. riskylady says:

    PP’s label’s attempt to market him as an “int’l artist” is just plain laughable IMHO. That German video now has 152 views, his acoustic Home has two (2) views, another song has 0 views and another one 110. There were some ebullient French reviews (a couple) while he was in France that were just laughable, especially talking about his “guitar” skills (LOL, he’s a strummer, not a PLAYER like Casey James). And now Rock in Rio LOLOLOL. I don’t think the Brazilians will fall for this live, he is an embarrassment to Idol to me. I do believe he’s the worst of the WGWGs.
    I think he did a performance in London, but didn’t really make any waves. Do they seriously think that because the SONG did well that he as a singer can rise above it????
    The Lambada was a huge worldwide hit too, as was Gangham Style (Psy’s latest efforts haven’t been so loved).
    Oh well………….

  37. ultimathule says:

    Found out what “nesting” comments are – slightly awkward looking for replies to an older post.

  38. luval says:

    Does anyone here belong to the Adam Lambert Fan Club? (non official one I guess). Wondering whether to join.

  39. luval says:

    ulti…The electrode thing was something that mils noticed on Adam’s tummy when his shirt went up. I saw it too. It looked like a wire of some sort. If I can remember which show it was I’ll bring it over.

  40. nkd says:

    luval, ulti, it was in Hong Kong.
    Here’s the screen cap from the video where you can see something on his belly.
    http://twitpic.com/cau3j8/full

  41. glambotgram says:

    ulti mils theory was that the electrode was keeping our friend from making an appearance. The reason I said I was starting to believe it was if you enlarge that picture it looks like the outline of a wire where our friend should be. Frown

    I think the “really fucking awkward” means she caught a pic of something she wasn’t expecting!

  43. luval says:

    Was over on the Hong Kong thread looking for electrode talk and I was LMAO at our (mils) comments about what was possibly going on down there. ROTFL

  44. TLKC says:

    I have to disagree with P2 being the worst winner. Lee DeWyze is definiely the worst but P2 is in the running. NVM. He has a multi-platinum hit on his hands and his management has to milk it for as long as they can. I doubt he will be going as strong as Adam 4 years on. Don’t worry be happy.

    That Chinese profile on Adam is really good. I love the part where the LVMH guy says they check their markets carefully and Adam trends with a young, hip audience in Asia.

  47. Calgary says:

    luvalDo you mean the fan club that costs to join – adamlambertfans.com – or the one on his website – adamofficial? I guess I need to pay to renew on the first one, but it didn’t really give me anything except during GNT.
    And the one on his website is waaaay too messy for me.

  48. AL says:
  49. luval says:

    Calgary…I don’t mean the Adamofficial website. I guess I already belong to Adamlambertfans.com. LOL You are correct. It doesn’t give you anything. I think I’m thinking about something else. Maybe the unofficial facebook site that fans operate.

    SanDiego…hmmmm. Right in his backyard. Won’t cost much to ship the set, dancers & VJJ’s there.
