On last night’s Bravo TV’s Watch What Happens, host Andy Cohen mentioned none other than Adam Lambert.

Andy was giving his “Here’s What” comment and he seemed to take an issue with Adam’s sparkly pants! Here’s what he said: “Adam Lambert caused a stir in Tokyo this week when he performed wearing some pants that were very (big facial gesture) INFORMATIVE!” Then a picture similar to this one is shown, as Andy continues with “here’s, ooh there THEY are! Here’s what, when it comes to pants that I can’t believe a man wore in public, Adam gets the Silver, but Simon Van Kempen still gets the Gold.” Simon is then shown wearing a pair of red leather pants. And no! He’s not on stage, just at a dinner party!

For those of you who don’t watch the Real Housewives of New York, Simon is the husband of one of the women, who many have questions about whatelse, but his sexuality.

If you want to see this for yourself, you can catch it on one of the many replays this week of Bravo’s Watch What Happens. It plays at 3 minutes into the show.

I know this wasn’t very newsworthy, but any mention of Adam gets my attention!

Just in! Check out the news/entertainment broadcast on Japanese TV raving about Adam Lambert! They give him nothing but love, and are making me feel slightly embarrassed about the coverage he has received in his own country. Hopefully media in the USA will take a lesson from the rest of the world in diplomacy and appreciation of talent.

~ Carol Glamb #7 ~

Now that Adam’s in Tokyo, he’s giving the Japanese audiences another side of himself that we Americans can only hope to see in the future. The screaming from the Japanese are a sure sign that he’s going to be part of the international community for a long time. And if this is anime, I’m getting controllers from my son and joining in!

Adam’s living another one of his dreams when he takes to the stage with dancers, reminiscent of his days on the Zodiac Stage. Love it when he joins in with the choreography! While his concert performance at Fantasy Springs a few weeks ago was absolutely epic and mind blowing, it wasn’t quite like this! Here we see another layer of the rock god that we hope will come to our stages too. Message to Adam and his team, “Adam, the paying audiences in America can and want to handle this too!”

It has come to my attention that we need a little explanation of some nicknames that our boys have earned. Uncle Soy Sauce is a pet name for Monty, where as Dang Dang is none other than our Adam. The following is what I found:

ENJOY:

~~On the origin of “Uncle Soy Sauce”:
“Soy Sauce”here has a whole different meaning than a flavor. Several years back, when some TV station in mainland China was doing some sort of “voices from the street”, a man in shorts and flipflops walked by. The reporter stopped him to ask his opinion on a specific issue. Replied the man ” I’m only here to get some SOY SAUCE home. Like I care.” The netizens(Chinese web users) quickly picked that up because for the first time instead of giving a standardized answer on some matters we sort of can say I just don’t care. I just want to live my life. So leave me alone.

As it evolves with rising popularity, the phrase “just to get SOY SAUCE” has been used in all kinds of conversations from showing that you don’t care to that nothing happening around you can catch you off guard.
For Monte, we first used it when we noticed how calm he is no matter how much hot action Adam has got going on beside him. It’s almost like, OK, Adam is having major boy-on-boy or naughty or something else, but Monte would just keep his semi-poker face, all calm, stand there and rock that guitar.
In short,we love that Monte always stands so calmly to Adam and that’s why we nicknamed him “Uncle Soy Sauce” “

~~Dang Dang is a nickname the (Mainland) Chinese fans called Adam, whose name is Chinese character is: Ah Dang:
Here’s a further explanation of “Dang Dang”, from adam-lambert.org:
Posted on PF by jamafanta (THANK YOU, WAY TO GO!!)

“It is the character for “contemporary” or “modern” doubled. The trendiest kind of nickname for young Chinese people right now is one character doubled, which is what this is. It originates from the standard English to Chinese translation of “Adam”, which is Ya Dang. To make his nickname, his Chinese fans dropped the first character and doubled the second one.”

Noone online could really tell who started this whole thing but I thought you all might get a kick out of it. Thank you again to jamafanta… your comment was attached to the article I found.

Just when you thought you had nothing left to watch, here are some cutsie little tidbits of Adams interview with Nova via SHOUTAICHOU. I may be overly obsessed but I love to hear him talk ALMOST as much as I love to hear him sing. Wait, i’d be happy listening to him sleep so I am clearly not a good judge here, haha. These are fun to watch, I promise…

ENJOY:

Adam wants a stronger jawline:

Adam on kissing Ke$ha:

We have all known since before the night of the American Idol Finale, when Kris Allen was announced the winner of Season 8, that Simon Cowell felt Adam Lambert should have won the title. Simon has always said the goal of American Idol is to find an international star. This is all being proven now in Australia as Adam is knocking them over left and right. But I’ve always wanted to hear something directly from Simon stating specifically that Adam was it. And now, thanks to the rebirth of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, we have that!

On last night’s show (March 8, 2010), Simon was very jovial and goofy as he sat with Jay dodging questions about his upcoming wedding. Jay even brought Simon’s fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy out from backstage to sit with him for a few minutes. After Mezhgan left, they began talking about the current Season 9 line-up and Simon stated he likes Crystal Bowersox. And then it happened. The conversation turned to past winners, and being the true Adam Lambert supporter that he is, Jay stated “It seemed like the people that come in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, seem to shine and go on to produce more albums and do more things in show business than the #1 winners in the last few years. I mean Jennifer Hudson and of course Adam Lambert. . . ” and Jay continued. Simon answered with “. . . it becomes a popularity competition and that’s what I thought happened last year. I mean, I like the winner but I personally thought Adam should’ve won as an overall artist.”

I know it has made absolutely no difference in Adam’s huge success whether or not he was crowned the with the Idol title. And I’ve honestly let it go. But doesn’t it still feel good to hear what we all worked so hard for, directly from Simon’s mouth?

Watch and enjoy it for yourself. They begin talking about this with 1:05 left in the clip. Please be patient, it may take a few moments to load in.

Here he is again, our very own Adam Lambert!!
He is definitely getting his share of air time down under. In this interview he appears to be happy, well rested, and even playful. It seems as though they all enjoy having him there with them. Plus as an added bonus, they even dared to touch base on the now infamous CODPIECE!!!! Great interview guys…

ENJOY:

The second video addresses his opinion of Susan Boyles c.d.:

Well, there is nothing better than when I wake up in the morning and see that Adam has tweeted!! For those of you not on twitter, here is what he had to say…

There is a report that a new keyboardist has been found to replace Lisa Harriton. Lisa is a very accomplished, much-in-demand keyboardist/vocalist. She was formerly in Smashing Pumpkins, and is currently the keyboardist for Ke$sha. She is not turning her back on Adam. Nothing was set in stone with the members of Adam’s band. Some or all of the members were only signed to do the introductory promotional events when For Your Entertainment was released, and Lisa signed for other jobs at the conclusion of that contract. We wish her the best of success and we’ll be recognizing her when we see her performing with other top artists.

Camila Grey, from Uh Huh . . . Her? will be the new member of the band. I don’t know the terms of her new contract yet.

The following report is from Clubskirts’ Autostraddle.

Adam Lambert Snags UHH’s Camila Grey for Magical Gay Mystery Tour

This Sunday is extra Funday! Camila Grey is Adam Lambert’s new keyboardist, Gay Mardi Gras rocks Sydney, Harry Potter is going to save gays from suicide, Chris Rock schools you about healthcare, Sad Magazine will make you feel good, and recovery from anorexia is possible. Also, Lilo’s looking hawt.

CAMILA GREY/ADAM LAMBERT:Camila Grey is officially the luckiest lesbian in the world. She’s (as far as we know) dating Clea Duvall, she’s in a band with Our Lover Leisha Hailey (Uh Huh…Her?) and they make lovely music, she’s able to play songs beautifully despite her bangs always being in her eyes, she’s very pretty, and NOW SHE’S GONNA BE OUR BOYFRIEND ADAM LAMBERT’S KEYBOARDIST. Uh Huh Her broke the big news on Twitter:

She says to watch out for tour dates! I hope they find a way to synch up Camila’s druggie acid-dance of hippie darkness with Adam’s glammy sex-dance of screaming darkness, because that would be one hell of a show.
This seals the deal: Adam Lambert is officially a lesbian phenom. Also: this is going to be the gayest band since The Village People! I JK, I JK! I know there’ll be only 2-3 gays in the band, obvs they can’t hold a candle to The Villlage People. Monte Pittman is married & straight and drummer Longineu Parsons is straight & engaged.
I mean… we know that Tommy Joe Ratliff the bassist is like “straight” or whatever, but like, if Adam Lambert tongue-kissed me, I would probs become a gay man. That’s all I’m gonna say about that except this one more thing; Adam’s nickname for Tommy is “glitterbaby.” Just saying! Maybe Adam & Cam can go gay clubbing today and make us funny vlogs about it!

Longineu Parsons was actually the drummer for Yellowcard, and Lisa Harrington (formerly of The Smashing Pumpkins, currently keyboards for Ke$ha) must be who Camila is replacing? Shortly before this photo was taken she got her head caught in a fishing net so that might be why. No but seriously if she is keyboarding for Ke$ha she’s probs pretty busy right now.

Dear Glambs,
Adam gave the absolute most perfect, amazing, make-you-have-to-scream concert last night!!! I don’t want to take too long to write the proper review right now, because I want you to have the pictures RIGHT NOW!!!
I was in the Front Row, 3 seats from the far end of the row, Tommy-side. The row extended about 15 feet past the edge of the stage, and I could tell early that Adam wasn’t coming to our edge, so I jumped back to the second row, where all of a sudden there were empty seats, closer to the center portion of the stage.
Below are some epic pictures that we are still screaming about this morning, even though my voice is still hoarse! Then click here for access to the Photobucket account that holds them all. This is a Group Album, and we’re inviting you to add your pictures to it. Also in this album are shots from our Glambs pre-party at Mimi’s Cafe. More to come on that, but I wanted to get these pictures to you ASAP!!

~ Carol ~

My very best shot of the hottest guy on Earth!!!

The hottest duo!


Adam and his awesome band!

The concert at Fantasy Springs was EPIC!! It was Adam Lambert’s FIRST full concert, and I feel so privileged to have been there! He had the most amazing presence when he walked out onto the stage. He tried to hold his “Rock God” persona at the end of his opening number For Your Entertainment, but after listening to the thundering response from over 3,500 screaming fans, his full-on Adam smile broke through and we knew he was touched.
Here are the videos from the night!!

Down The Rabbit Hole

We’re sure all of the Glambs who are going to Fantasy Springs this weekend are looking forward to meeting up with each other. We certainly are looking forward to meeting each and every one of you. In fact, Sue, Lila and I are so excited about meeting all of you and seeing Adam Lambert in one of his first solo concerts that we can hardly sleep! If you’re going, post it here in the comment section. We’re encouraging you to use this format to make any plans, arrange for carpooling, etc. Sorry this is so late, but we’re beginners at this and we just thought of it!

Our Glamb Family pre-party is happening from 3 – 5 PM on Saturday, February 27th at Mimi’s Café, 79-765 Hwy 111 in La Quinta, just 5 ½ miles from Fantasy Springs Resort. We’ve had over 70 people say they’re coming, so it’s going to be a great celebration! Remember, there is NO COST for our party. Everyone will have the opportunity to order whatever they’d like, whether it’s a full meal, an appetizer, or just a drink from Mimi’s full menu. Each person is responsible for their own purchase. You don’t have to order anything, if you don’t want. We just wanted to give you the opportunity to meet up with each other, before the show gets into action. We’ll have name tags for everyone there so you’ll immediately spot some familiar friends. We know that many of you are also going to the Fantasy Springs pre-party. (We’re going too!) We hope you’ll keep your Glamb name tag on, and spread the word about this web site. If you have a lariat or pin-on nametag holder, the type you get from business conferences, please feel free to bring them. Our nametags are adhesive and may not transfer if you want to change clothes.

Again, we can’t wait to meet you!

Sincerely,
Carol, Lila & Sue

Heads up to all our Australian followers, Adam is heading your way:
Lambert will arrive in Australia on March 4. While here he will perform on ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, and will give fans an opportunity to get up close and personal with him at an instore signing at Hum on Oxford st on Saturday 6 March.

Is he also Mardi Gras bound? Well, if he has his way he will be!
Confirmed by his record label, Sony Music, for a promotional trip Down Under next week, it wouldn’t surprise if he made an appearance at Sydney’s Mardi Gras. Speaking with the Daily Telegraph, Lambert expressed his desires to be a part of the annual event:
“I’m hoping someone will ask me to do it. I’ve been told it’s a blast and it’d probably be something I’d enjoy.”
Further details regarding Lambert’s schedule while in Australia are expected to be released later today.

So start making your plans and taking time off of work so you can catch him everywhere he goes!! How exciting for Australians AND Adam. Let the worldwide party begin!!

FYI: Adam Lambert’s debut album ‘For Your Entertainment’ will be released on March 5.

Thank you to Libraglam for bringing the following video to my attention. In light of everything negative that’s been posted lately, let’s take a moment to remember why we’re all here. This serves as a great reminder as to who Adam was before American Idol. If you didn’t see his “past,” now you know what is making his “present.”

Thank you to Skylarvon for making this beautiful piece. And special kudos for starting it with the perfect Muse song – Uprising!

Short and Sweet: Adam will be on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on March 2, 2010 – the second night it’s back on the air. If you’re going to be in the Los Angeles area, you can apply for free tickets at: http://www.thejaylenoshow.com/tickets/

Please let us know if you’ll be there. We want the Glambs representin’! Maybe we should all try to wear the same colored top? What color gets your vote?

~ Carol ~

Never let it be said that Adam doesn’t have the most intense fans. We all want the best for Adam, however some have crossed the line this time. Not minutes after tweeting to his fans about stopping the over-zealous calls/online requests for his songs, Adam’s management posted a message on the official site announcing his disqualification from the current Open House Party vote.

Posted at 2:43 PM PST from RCA:

Adam Disqualified from Open House Party Voting Just wanted to let you guys know that Adam was disqualified from this competition this week because the folks at Open House Party realized that some people were mass voting outside of their own cities. Please resist the temptation to do this for this competition, as well as when requesting Adam’s songs from radio stations, because it WILL harm Adam’s image with these businesses, not to mention RCA’s ability to promote him and “Whataya Want From Me.” Thanks.

RCA * Update: Multiple requests to Open House Party’s Twitter account - where no requests are accepted - was the primary culprit to this week’s disqualification (Adam will be eligible again next week).

Let’s take this as a lesson learned and remember it for future. If you want to hit refresh/resend, make sure it’s for a national contest!

~Carol~

More movement towards positivity? Let’s play a little game of ‘You know you are making it big in this world when..’

1. Saturday Night Live puts you in one of their skits! And even in the same scene as Robbert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. As a Christmas ornament, Mary.. Oh dear.

2. Your hairstyle is getting recognition of its own and runs in a contest for replacing Puck’s (from Glee) current hair-do! ‘The Lambert’, lol.

 

3. You get a (for most people outside of Japan) incomprehensible shout out in a Japanese newspaper! Feel free to try Babelfish if you want to know what exactly they wrote but as far as I decipered it was positive.

4. Random Chinese tv shows throw their random Chinese boybands at your feet only so you can give them some of your advice.. even though they obviously don’t really understand him.

5. The Chipmunks take on some of your songs and completely make them their own (as in, completely transform them):

6. Eminem gives you a shout-out in one of the songs (Elevator) of his upcoming album: “Sorry Lance, Mr. Lambert and Aiken ain’t gonna make it. They get so mad, when I call them both fake it’s!” Good thing Adam himself realizes that this means he has kind of made it.

7. Once you mention that a certain song is a favorite of yours, all comments on the video on youtube have something to do with you..

 

More thoughts? What other things clue us in on Adam’s success? :D

Nice to know it wasn’t aimed at any of us!  It sounds like Adam has sort of “had it” with all the criticism.  Even more reason for his fans to support him now.  Watch Adam talk about the flip off, the trip up, and more!  ~Dana, Glamb #6

Adam Lambert has spoken publicly several times about his controversial performance at the American Music Awards on Sunday. It was a performance that had him singing his single, “For Your Entertainment,” while dancing provocatively, falling, kissing a male bandmate and (in a move missed by many) extending his middle finger.

“We were having a good time,” he told MTV News on Tuesday (November 24) about the performance, adding that as soon as he gave the finger he knew he had taken things to another level.

“Literally, as I did it, I went, ‘Oh god, what am I doing?’ ” he explained. “I was out of body. You know, the finger was to the people that have been criticizing me. The finger was to the people who doubt me. The finger was to the people that were about to censor me. The finger was not to fans or people who support me at all, by any means.

“The finger was to ‘Out’ magazine’s editor who wailed into me, people like that,” he continued. “It wasn’t premeditated; it just kind of happened. In the end … it was to prove freedom of expression and to prove I am in control of my situation. I am an artist and I’m here to express myself. My intention wasn’t to upset people.”

As for his now-infamous kiss with keyboardist Tommy Ratliff, he said that in rehearsal he had only pulled his hair. So Ratliff was expecting something — but not a big, very public kiss.

“He did not know! No — during rehearsal I grabbed him by the hair and kind of just looked at him,” Lambert said. “He’s straight, but not married. He’s single. I guess he didn’t mind getting kissed in the name of entertainment.”

I have been scouring the Internet looking for hints and bits of information about Adam’s tour.  He has to have one, right??  This article by LA Music Examiner, Belinda Thomas, is a first snippet of upcoming tour collaborations.   First impressions:  Adam is continuing to find the best people with which to work.  Enjoy… Dana, Glamb #6

Adam Lambert is set to work with director/choreographer Jamie King. King along with associate director Stefanie Roos will direct Lambert’s upcoming performances, appearances and upcoming tour. The Emmy Award nominated King was the director of Britney Spears’s 2009 “Circus” tour, Madonna’s 2008 “Sticky and Sweet” Tour, The Spice Girls 2007/2008 reunion tour and is currently working on the Rihanna 2009- 2010 World Tour. Roos has done work on the Teen Choice Awards, TV Land Awards and Madonna’s “The Confessions Tour Live”.

Adam Lambert’s debut album, “For Your Entertainment”, will be in stores November 23rd. Lambert will be performing the first single which is also titled ” For Your Entertainment” from the album for the first time at the American Music Awards on November 22.

I just loved this phrase written by Adam Graham, Detroit News Pop Music Writer, so I made it the title of this blog post.  It is so true!  I appreciated reading Graham’s fair and balanced assessment of Adam’s upcoming album, and thought you might enjoy it too.  Dana, Glamb #6

What, you expected subtlety?

Adam Lambert’s “For Your Entertainment” is every bit the boffo, glam-rock, disco-pop space oddity you’d expect from the “American Idol” standout. It’s a bold, assured, boot-stomping romp, and it’s so over-the-top it should come packaged in a mirror ball.

For his fans, this won’t come as a surprise. Lambert hit the “American Idol” stage earlier this year like a transplant from the planet Glampire: David Bowie funneled through Edward Cullen. Over the course of the show, he proved to be the most exciting “Idol” contestant in years, with a fearlessness stemming from years of stage experience and a shocking caterwaul that could strip the paint off walls.

He also demonstrated his dexterity across a number of genres, whether vamping through Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” or quietly emoting in a beautiful rendition of Smokey Robinson’s “The Tracks of My Tears.” In what may have been his signature performance, he gave a psycho-sexual, Middle Eastern-influenced reading of Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” that would have had the Man in Black either rolling in his grave or rolling with laughter.

He brings that same go-for-broke spirit to “For Your Entertainment,” which despite sharing a name with a national chain of record stores, proves to be an apropos summation of Lambert’s M.O. “Let me entertain you ’til you scraaaaay-eeeee-aaaaaaayyy-eeeeeee-aaaYYYYYYY-eeeeeee-AAAYYYYMM!” he bellows on the title track, somehow cramming every musical note into one banshee wail.

If the goal is to entertain, he succeeds, as there’s rarely a dull moment on “FYE.” Some moments are less effective than others — “Aftermath” is the kind of “keep pushing on” claptrap every “Idol” album seems to be saddled with, and the album is frontloaded with one too many Gary Glitter clones — but no one can accuse Lambert of holding back.

Credit Team Lambert for pairing him with a host of top-notch, like-minded collaborators, from Lady Gaga (who wrote the daring “Fever”) and Pink (who lent a hand to “Whataya Want from Me”) to the Darkness’ Justin Hawkins (whose proficiency for arena rock cheese is slathered over opener “Music Again”) and interstellar English rockers Muse (lead singer Matthew Bellamy wrote “Soaked”).

A-list hitmakers Dr. Luke (the pulsating title track), Linda Perry (the moody, spacey “A Loaded Smile”) and Max Martin (potential single “If I Had You”) weigh in, as well. And Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo proves an unlikely partner-in-crime on the joyful “Pick U Up,” a bouncy club-rocker with walls of trickling synths laid underneath the fist-pumping chorus.

Lambert is a pot-stirrer — the fetching spaceboy album cover is evidence of that — and the album has an in-your-face, unapologetic sexuality. Plenty can be read into lines such as “Open your mouth and open it wide: Let the freedom begin” (”Strut”). “Fever,” meanwhile, opens with, “there he goes, my baby walks so slow, sexual tic-tac-toe,” which is bound to raise an eyebrow or two from “Idol’s” more conservative fan base.

Lambert’s greatest asset is, of course, his crazy vocal range, which can soar to dizzying heights but easily lends itself to overkill.

On the album, he displays control over his voice that he didn’t on “Idol,” and he doesn’t over-rely on histrionics. He stays reigned in at times (such as on the electronic outer space ballad “Broken Open”) and lets it go when need be.

“FYE” also sparkles with a welcome sense of humor: “My baby clothes made of leather and lace,” Lambert sings amid the wild rumpus of “Sure Fire Winners,” the best and most unhinged of the album’s T. Rex-style glam throwdowns. And he lets out a gleeful laugh at the close of “Pick U Up,” a refreshing reminder that yes, this is all meant to be fun.

It goes without saying that “For Your Entertainment” is the most poised debut from any “Idol” to date. Lambert has a vision and has successfully honed a sound that pays homage to his heroes while carving a niche for himself.

More than anything, “For Your Entertainment” bares the stamp of a born entertainer. So sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

I’ve never thought much about Amanda Peet as an actress or person…but she got my attention when she was asked about Adam Lambert and she shyly whispered, “I Love Him!” She is one of us, and doesn’t even know it! John Cusack, on the other hand, was admittedly clueless.

I thought Amanda’s reaction was very cute. She was obviously the one starstruck with Adam.

Dana, Glamb #6

Tuesday night, at the Los Angeles red-carpet premiere for “2012″ — that most disastrous of all disaster movies — Adam Lambert told reporters that he feels honored to have contributed “Time for Miracles” to the film’s soundtrack. So how do the film’s stars feel about it?

“I love him,” Amanda Peet told MTV News of the “American Idol” runner-up. “I love him. I love him.”

John Cusack, meanwhile, was less honored than amusingly confused when asked about the man known as Glambert. “I have no clue,” he confessed. “No, I’ve seen ‘American Idol.’ They have the guy, Dr. Sanjay Gupta. He was on that, right? Anderson Cooper won a few times.”

Well played, Cusack! Peet wasn’t able to play it nearly as cool the one and only time she had the opportunity to meet Lambert, at the “2012″ premiere. “I said ‘Hi,’ but by the time I said ‘Hi,’ he was already walking past, and I was walking this way, and it was too late to accost him because he had already gone by,” the actress laughed. “Which is probably a good thing.”

Like Cusack, director Roland Emmerich had never heard of Lambert before his involvement with “2012.” Emmerich was busy filming during the past “Idol” season, and he never watches TV anyway. But he liked the song, and a Sony exec showed him some YouTube videos of Lambert, suggesting he’d be a good fit to sing it.

“I said, ‘Oh, my God, what an incredible voice,’ ” the director told MTV News.

So, Lambert recorded “Miracles,” which became his post-”Idol” debut as well as a bonus track on his major-label debut, For Your Entertainment, which hits on November 23, 10 days after the release of “2012.”

Peet can’t wait to hear the tracks. “I’m excited,” she said with a grin.

***UPDATE - ADAM JUST TWEETED***

Adam just tweeted this, confirming what we suspected:
“@paaattty yeah this “take one” thing is basically “on with the show” re-tooled. Now this is ALL material recorded in ‘05 not written by me.”

Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

Adam followed up with this tweet:

“*the Single SHOULD be out next week…” YAY!!!!!!!!!!

An album titled Take One is available for pre-order at Amazon and is scheduled to drop on November 17th. The Amazon listing shows this album to be by Adam and put out by a label called “Coldwater.” There is speculation that this is another attempt by the same people who tried to put out the Want album titled On With the Show earlier in the summer. When the single Want did not sell well, the album was never released. (I googled “Coldwater” and came up with nothing.)

It would seem these people are trying to cash in on Adam’s popularity and also take advantage of the timing of Adam’s official album - to catch us while we’re in a buying frenzy, so to speak. Adam hasn’t twittered about this new “fake album” yet, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he does not endorse it. It will be interesting to see if Adam does twitter about this in the next few days.

I can’t tell you what to do, but I am NOT going to order Take One. As much as I love Adam’s music, I am not going to put money into the pockets of people who are trying to take advantage of Adam and us, his fans. What do you plan on doing?

Yesterday on September 18th, Adam and Kris performed a mini-concert in Dearborn, Michigan for the annual Ford Motor Company Day. Following is a video from the performances which starts off with some not-unexpected Ford jokes followed by a Q&A session that’s pretty much done strictly for fun. If you want to cut to the song (”Crazy”) it begins at 6:24. Kris is good on the guitar, but his vocals are no match for Adam’s.

This second video contains the very end of the give-and-take and the song:

Wow! Proof once again that even without the makeup and the dancing Adam’s emotional vocals are second to none!

HERE’S A POST ON OUR THREAD THAT JUST SUMS IT ALL UP DOESN’T IT?

Hi all! I am in heaven! Last night I met the most beautiful man in the world! And this was after the Reading PA show (which, by the way, was awesome, and better than the Atlantic City show, but my seat was better too!). I met so many great people, many Adam fans, and I told them to check out this great website! Adam did come out after the show, and as he stood in front of me and signed my picture of him, and I was gushing my thanks to him and telling him how awesome he is, he put his hand over mine (yes, he really did!), and looked at me with those eyes (those eyes!), and gave me the most beautiful big smile! In that one moment in time, Adam was mine! And as quickly as the moment came it was gone, as someone shoved something in front of me to be signed. But for just that one moment…..!!!
Thank you Susan for sharing your special moment!! You are definitely one of the lucky one’s to have claimed one of those “MOMENTS”. After watching this video for his Bowie Medley, he seemed to be really getting into the dance moves and all. It is so much fun to watch the different videos because when you are a stalker… er fan like me you really can see how he changes little things from one concert to another. It may be that he changes the song a little bit or adds some extra wicked dance moves, and either way he just makes me happy. For those unable to be there… enjoy.

If you’re a frequent visitor on this web site, you’ve heard about the DonorsChoose.org charity project endorsed by Adam. But are you wondering is it really coming from Adam or are the Head Honchos forcing it?

I feel very confident in saying this comes from Adam. Relationships between the Idol artists and 19 Entertainment have changed from what we suspected as one-sided during the early seasons of American Idol. Everyone at 19E wants the best for Adam and all of their artists. When the artist has clear direction and vision for their career, it makes sense that 19E work with them and guide the artist to make that vision come into focus.

While Adam appreciates all the love and support from his fans, and is so touched that people are spending their money on gifts for him, he has realized he has no room on the tour buses for all those gifts! I spoke two weeks ago with 19E and learned that Adam has a ton of mail and gifts waiting for him back at the 19E offices in Los Angeles. All of the mail and packages being sent to all 10 of the Idols during the Tour is gathering in storerooms and will be delivered to them upon completion of the Tour. The official I spoke with jokingly told me that basically all of the other nine’s things fit into some large boxes and Adam practically needs a room to himself for all of his fan mail! Now imagine everything that’s being given to him on the road. How big do you think the storage under the buses is? Not big enough for Adam’s fans, I imagine!

Adam is really excited about the DonorsChoose.org project where he’s asking his fans to take the money they would spend on gifts for him, and instead pick a project from the hundreds listed, and make some teachers’ and childrens’ dreams come true.

Watch the following video from Adam, forgive the choppiness of the comments inserted (it wasn’t by us!) and think about helping others. Enjoy getting lost in those theatrical eyes and bathe yourself in the smooth tones of his cool voice. After you’ve done all that, click here and help out some needy kids. Who knows where the next Adam Lambert will come from?!?

Wow! Did this ever catch my eye! Thanks to E! Online writer Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna for going where no other writer has gone before.

From E! Online:
Fans have taken it up a notch from throwing bras and panties at Adam Lambert during the American Idol summer tour. Now they’re tossing up sex toys. “It’s going further, and somebody threw onstage a red-leather tasseled whip,” he tells us. “Yeah, and then the next night, I got one that was made out of, like, purple fur. It’s getting really S&M.” How’s he dealing with the newfound fan freakiness? Find out…

“It interesting,” he says. “I got some glow-in-the-dark handcuffs. It’s really getting creative. It’s exciting. I think they really want me to play with these toys during the number.” So does he? “I always try to because I enjoy that,” he says. “But then somebody threw a bra on during ‘Starlight,’ and, literally, it missed my face by three inches. Yeah, I am going to be a little bit more passive-aggressive, so I decided not to even acknowledge the bra that got thrown on stage, because I didn’t want to condone the behavior.” The upside to the new X-rated projectiles? “I’m glad it was a soft material and wasn’t anything hard. I’m not really into S&M, but it’s definitely tempting.”
Oh, Adam!

Here’s the video showing the toys mentioned above. This was from the Tampa show. When he tosses the handcuffs to an audience member and blows a kiss, it’s too cute!

I have no idea how performers remember all the words to their songs. But you can see in the following video shot during the Deluth, Georgia concert that even Adam is human. He was so clearly enjoying himself onstage, telling the audience “Georgia! I like it down here!” and then he laughs before introducing “Starlight.” When that bra missed his face by 3 inches it surprised him so much that he forgot where he was in the song.

At :51 he sings: “Starlight, I will be chasing your starlight . . .” and instead of “until the end of my life, I don’t know if it’s worth it anymore” he skips to: “let’s conspire to reignite all the souls that would die just to feel alive.” He stumbles a bit on his way back to the “hold you, in my arms,” chorus and from then on it’s beautiful, as usual. But I bet his mind was going a million miles an hour thinking “oh s#!t, how do I get out of this one?” I also wonder what the band thinks when they’ve realized the singer is off. But Adam is enough of an experienced professional that only those who have the lyrics memorized would know.

How can I say this? Adam…likes snakes. Period. They are everywhere on his body, from jewelry to clothing, to accessories, to boots, to the real thing on the cover of Rolling Stone. I’m not sure why Adam likes snakes, so again, this article is strictly speculation.

One thing is for sure – the serpent is one of the oldest mythological symbols there is. Because this is so, I’m guessing that like the Egyptian symbols Adam loves to wear, the snake has some kind of meaning for him beyond just looking cool.

The interesting thing about the serpent is that there are both positive and negative symbolic values. So which side of the serpent appeals to Adam? Perhaps it is a little of each. On the positive side are healing, guardianship, renewal, rebirth and regeneration. Interestingly, many of these attributes are the same as the Egyptian symbols Adam wears. Other symbolic meanings for the snake include patience, eternity, balance, cunning, intuition, awareness, intellect, protection, rejuvenation, transformation, knowledge, and yin-yang. Many of these qualities can obviously be associated with Adam – we know that he’s aware, smart, and intelligent. We know what a chameleon he is and how he can transform into any type of performer he wants to be.

But what about those negative meanings? There is temptation of course, as well as deceitfulness and vengefulness. I’m sure there is temptation in Adam’s life, as there is in all our lives. However, I’m hoping that deceitfulness and vengefulness are not.

And last, but not least, this article wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t say that Adam himself is the greatest snake charmer of all. He has charmed, captivated, and mesmerized us with every single performance he’s done!

So do you share Adam’s love of snakes? Why or why not? Personally, I’ve always liked snakes, but not to the extent Adam does. I do have a blue glass snake pendant that I wear to work sometimes. My boss told me she didn’t like it. That was reason enough for me to keep wearing it! Who knows, perhaps that’s one of the reasons Adam wears snakes – just another way to be provocative and get people talking.
