After we were showered with Adam goodies in April, let’s see what flowers in May. With recent tweets about new music and GLAAD honoring Adam with the Davidson/Valentini Award, May seems as if it will be a very merry month indeed. And we can’t forget the Life Ball in Vienna later in the month! Let’s hope for more great pics like we had from the CMAs (China not country music), Live Proud PSA and Miami Beach Pride.
Above are just a few of your favorite photos. You don’t need to be satisfied with just one main photo. Just click on the thumbnail to open your full-sized fave(s) and Drool away!

    Remember the old days of flying, Krad – my husband’s work required lots of it overseas. Loved to sit in the Clubs with him, watch planes takes off and land, snack on all the goodies, and wait for the boarding announcement. Yes, good times.

    Remember sitting in a bar at National Airport with some of my girls years ago (trip to Ireland) and suddenly realizing the plane was close to taking off. We ran like hell through the concourses, arrived as the doors were shut – but they opened them for us to run down into the plane. Makes me so damn sad now that no one will know that fun and freedom.

    Yeah, I am kinda over the funny faces.

    I love to see comments like this (from mj’s “Kelly Clarkson won’t be joining American Idol 13 thread). It still floors me that people don’t know how intelligent Adam is.

    AdenEsh • 2 hours ago

    I emailed my friends this video of Adam’s at AI post finale press interview and told them he might be considered to be on judges table for next season of AI. They all were amazed how articulate Adam is and they all said they’ll definitely watch Idol http://youtu.be/97J3d3RgA48

  11. sparkle says:

    So – Am I the only one that keeps playing the Titanium video every couple hours and can’t get the song out of my head?
    Over the weekend I was away and sleeping in a not too comfortable bed. The up side was that I woke up at 5 am remembering pieces of an Adam dream!

  12. luval says:

    Sparkle, you are not the only one! Good nite.

  13. ultimathule says:

    Yes, sparkle – well, I’ve watched it about fifty times at least – lol

  14. sparkle says:

    Just took a little stroll down Memory Lane. This weekend is the one year anniversary of Wilkes-Barre, so I went to the thread and read some recaps and comments and was transported back to the magical experience that was W-B! I had such a wonderful time meeting everyone from ALL there, driving with little dutchess and the Duke, sharing a room with mmm222, making bracelets with glambotgram and turquoisewaters, meeting Kradamour, adamized, nkd, eywflyer and everyone else. A once in a lifetime experience!!!

  15. Kradamour says:

    OMG, Sparkle, is it really a whole year? Or, is it really only a year? (shakes head) Why is Adam time so nebulous? So that means two years since Ste Agathe.

    I am so glad that you posted! Yes, that was a magical weekend. Adam was so happy to be on the stage with his new music! and we were so incredibly happy to be there with him and together! Adam autographed the Duke’s yellow tie, it looked fabulous. And then quite a few of us moseyed down to Gaylord National for another concert a couple of days later and nekkid stayed overnight at my house before continuing back to Texas.

    Okay, now I am totally psyched for Pittsburgh!
    Chic

    G’nite, peeps! Busy week and still have an action-packed day to fill tomorrow!
    Sweet Adam dreams of past and future concerts!
    Yawn Sleepy

  16. turquoisewaters says:

    sparkle: I remember it like yesterday. That was my favorite concert ever, and it was so much better for having you all around. I treasure the memory.

    I’m agreeing with some folks on twitter that Adam should shut up about wanting to be on Idol. To tell the truth, I’m getting annoyed. I wish he’d tell TPTB to go take a flying leap – I’m so beyond all these idiotic rumors – does Adam need this job so much that he’s advertising for it? Does it make any difference that he does get it?

    Gawd – after they kept him hanging last year, I’d looovve if he’d just give them the middle finger (metaphorically, or course) and get on with his life.

    Idol is going the way of all flesh anyhow – way down – lots of other programs are, too – people aren’t watching TV the way they used to. Still makes money and there’s nothing, I guess, to replace it right now. But, damn, there must be clever minds out there to devise better ways to get his music out there.

  21. ultimathule says:

    And I’m out.

  22. rs says:

    I agree that Adam shouldn’t advertise so much about wanting the Idol job, but the fact of the matter is that every time he has said something about it has been when answering a question about whether he would like to be an AI judge (except for his comments when he joined the panel on Chinese Idol). And you all know our boy, when he is asked a question, he ain’t gonna lie.

    So here is Lyndsey’s list of AI alumni judges. Of course, Adam is on top of her list, but the others are an interesting bunch, much more so than other lists who mostly just mention the famous ones.

    Also… this is cool. Renee Snyder talked to someone at AT&T about the Live Proud Campaign, so we get an update on how that is going and why they picked Adam:

  25. cwm says:

    AL and/or eywflyer – will there be a separate thread for Life Ball? I hope so! With so much spectacle and Adam in costume and so many pictures and a new song from Adam and key role in the Opening Ceremonies and and and … it would be great to have a dedicated thread to hold it all. Smile

  26. Ron says:

    Thanks for posting all of the great photo links peeps!!

    What a diverse group of people on that plane. That flight time must have whizzed by with most meeting for the first time and all of the socializing that followed.

    I was surprised, but how appropriate considering the theme of the show, that Barbara Eden is there!!

    Seems likely that she’ll have her “I Dream of Jeannie” costume on and maybe she’ll be a key figure for Adam’s entrance in the show.

    Thinking

    She could do her trademark folding of her arms, blink her eyes and … shazam! … amid a plume of smoke, Adam appears out of a magic lamp as Ali Baba to thunderous applause. (thunderous applause, of course!) Smile

    That’s one possible scenerio. The wrong possible scenerio but, still and all, one possible scenerio.

    Big Smile

  27. Ron says:

    Now that my apartment is all ship shape – I think that means clean and presentable – I can relax for a couple of minutes and share my complete happiness with you …

    As I type this, luval is motoring her way north to Toronto for a visit!! Y-A-Y!! We haven’t seen one another for a year-and-a-half so we thought that maybe we might get together for a little while as long as she happens to be here. Wink

    Tomorrow we’re going to TLKC‘s for a mutual friends birthday party. The computer will be hooked up to TLKC‘s big screen TV to watch the LifeBall ceremonies.

    It’s going to be a fun weekend! Party

    luval‘s due to arrive around 1pm and I haven’t even started to get dressed yet!

    Shock

    I have less than 3 hours so I’d better get going!! Laugh

    Sheez, all that effort I still look like I just got out of bed!!

    Have a great day/evening everyone!

    See ya later. Wink

  31. ultimathule says:

    He looks extremely handsome in those pics. This is gonna be great!

  32. sparkle says:

    Done with a half hour to spare! Well done, Ron! Let us know all about luval‘s visit – I’m sure it will be very special!

  33. AL says:

    AL and/or eywflyer – will there be a separate thread for Life Ball?

    Sure, whatever you guys want! It looks like it will be one big party and is a major international event. Although Adam is performing only one song (that we know of), I am sure that there will be plenty of videos, photos and articles to do with the Life Ball that we can store in that thread for later drooling viewing pleasure!

  34. cwm says:

    Awww thanks AL! You’re so good to us! Heart

  35. glambotgram says:

    Sure, whatever you guys want!

    Hmm. How about that private jet and a up close and personal concert for the ALLers.

    Well you said whatever

  36. AL says:

    How about that private jet and a up close and personal concert for the ALLers.

    Did you receive the special invitation that I sent out recently? No? Well I guess it’s stuck in the mail. Thanks Canada Post! Mail Poop Wink
    I couldn’t get the private jet Airplane or a personal concert Music Note but managed to get some VW vans Car and a projection TV to watch the DVD’s from old concerts. Grin You just need to bring some lawn chairs. Island

    Some of you might want to read this very thoughtful letter by Brad Bell, aka Cheeks, from the Huff Post about the image of gays in Hollywood. Along with the acceptance speech that I posted a few days ago, it is becoming very clear just how intelligent and what a thinker he is, so much more than his Cheeks persona. You could already get a taste of this from his blog posts last year. It is easy to see why he was Adam’s first great love, adorable and smart. I think that in the end he might have been too snarky for Adam, though.

    Laugh Laugh AL Got my lawn chair ready. Sounds like a blast

    UGGG http://omg.yahoo.com/news/jennifer-hudson-signs-american-idol-judge-report-162040001.html

    Just go ahead and sign Clay then cause I don’t think I can watch JHud even to see Adam. This is one Diva they do not need.

  39. rs says:

    I can’t imagine that they would put Adam and Clay on the judging panel together after the public animosity expressed between them.

  40. ultimathule says:

    If he’s on at 3:55 EST, does that mean 4:55 EDT? Thanks, anyone.

    Adam Lambert ‏@adamlambert

    Still can’t believe that I was in the audience to witness this awesomeness…twice (and I should have changed my ticket to stay for the third night!)

  42. ultimathule says:

    Unless Adam’s on the panel, Idol is pretty much over for me. Barely watched it this year – and then mostly MJs vids. (Not interested in JHud or Kelly anyhow.)

  43. AL says:

    World Clock – Adam Lambert – Life Ball Opening 9:30 PM – Vienna

    Thanks, AL

    Have to leave by 5:45 so should be able to watch the stream.

    rs
    , that was what I thought at the time we started to get to know Cheeks. Boy is killer brilliant, adorable, funny, and sharp as a knife.
    For Adam, with a LOT of self-image and self-esteem issues and no firm place in the professional world, that sharpness may well have cut more often than would have been comfortable.
    I have also wondered if Adam’s newfound security and strength and comfort with himself and his career could make it possible for an eventual Cheeks reprise.
    Adam could do a LOT worse.
    IMHO, of course.

    That snippet is such a tease!!

    I wonder, just wonder, if Queenbert, with Elton in Kiev is going to win a prize? Didn’t it raise millions for AIDS?

    Ron, you and I must have had a mind-link about Barbara Eden!! I was thinking exactly along those lines when I saw her there near Adam!! Jeannie…

    I’m very impressed with Cheek’s letter to the Huff Post. And couldn’t agree with him more. I spy lots of Glamberts in the replies.

    I’m neutral about JHud. I think she’ll be just fine. I do however have opinions about Clay. Not good ones.

    The song for the LifeBall sounds like a club thumper of a hit dance song.

    Just watched the song Adam tweeted. It still sends me into goosebumps, even after what, nearly 10 months. Unbelievable talent and charisma. Nobody else has that much. Nobody.

    Sorry for the random posts, just catching up here after a busy day!

  48. milwlovesadam says:

    The whole Boy Scout thing has me so upset. I was a Girl Scout, and for sure, several of my leaders at camp were lesbians. Everybody knew it. Nobody cared. At all. And, I’m “29”, so it isn’t like I was at camp last year!! The Girl Scouts just seem to be more progressive.

    I was a Scout Leader for my boys for several years. We all just floved it, loved our experiences and wouldn’t trade those memories for a thing. As a leader, I always imbued a sense of unity and acceptance for everyone and talked about tolerance for all people.

    I know several of us here have many positive Scout experiences.

    That being said, kudos, for voting to allow openly gay kids to be scouts. I am, however, extraordinarily disappointed and dismayed that they still won’t allow gay leaders.

    What they really are afraid of is Pedophiliacs. They should ban pedophilia. Not gay leaders.

    What they have now voted on is the credo that a gay adult can’t be a role model, or set an example of living an honest and moral life.

    Shame on the Boy Scouts of America. Now, an openly gay youth still needs to fight to be a scout, because the leadership still isn’t accepting. They are saying, “sure, you can be a scout now, but you can’t be a leader later.” “Because as you age you will turn into something unacceptable to us.”

    I’m sorry for getting into this, it just upsets me so much.

    I know rs, biggest mistake…I was only a 30min drive away from Hammersmith, sitting in a crappy Chinese restaurant, having a boring family dinner, all the time thinking arghhhh…..should have just done it, although it would have really pi**ed my husband off..buts whats 25 years of marriage compared to see Adam and Queen againSmile

    Don’t think I’ll be watching the livestream…3.30am on sunday for meFrown

    Really don’t want JHud, think she has a horrible personality.

  50. HK fan says:

    I agree with you Mils, sad.

    There never seems to be all this press about lesbians, or people having issues with lesbians. People seem to have an issue with gays, feel threatened by them, repulsed by them, yet are usually ok if its women.
