love it love it love it...no one has a voice as good as Adam....Melanie A tried to sing Feeling Good on xfactor tonight..all I could think was Adam's amazing performance on Idol...she did not even come close to Adam
I love it even if its just a snippet!!!
I thought of Adam performing Feeling good too!! Agree she didn't come close to Adam's version.
wonderful wonderful ..I cannot hear this enough...want more
I agree with all your great comments. Adam sounds amazing! Love his voice so much on this song! Fabulous Adam!

thank you for posting, I couldn't figure out what to do with the previous snippet.
I want to hear it all, asap.
Love it and hate it!!! Love it and hate it!!!!!
It's only a snippet and I'm already panting! The cover artwork is beautiful; Adam the sexy beast is stupendously potrayed. He is not leaving anything to chance anymore; he is the chief chef and what a meal he whipped up...Row row row your boat, faster than anyone else; merrily merrily, merrily, merrily, life's a fascinating dream! :)

love your comment anon 7:28 perfect
Thank you dear7:31! I'm too excited for words, better than I know myself... :)

This is more like Katy perrys the one that got away.
It's slow remindes me of wwfm the yelling part.I really like born to be wild Adams performance type on AI,and find something like that be cool.
OMG It's really really great! Love love it!!!
@7:43pm When I said "I love this song and I hate it" it was the reason that you talk about!!!
This is too Katy Perry!!!
I think most of the bloggers will call me troll. But I don't care.
Love ADam, he is only one after Freddie. But this song:(:(:(......isn't what expect to hear
STARVING FOR MORE. I FEEL LIKE I AM ON A 500 CALORIE DIET.
I Love the snippet & the pic!!Wow!!can't wait to hear the whole song & for BB to make a video for BTIKM.
it sounds very different from FYE. It sounds alternative/pop. very different from what I expected.
So far I LOVE IT!! Maybe it sounds like some of katy perry songs, but LOOK where she is now! This type of song is exactly what adam needs to skyrocket! It's going to be adams year and it's about time!
brownie
I agree this will be Adam's year to shine. A great one in the making!!!!
Even if this particular song isn't your fave, Trespassing will be FULL of great songs that you will love! I have no worries. I love what I've heard so far
DRG
I wouldn't put it in the same category as Katy Perry, because he is a better singer than that. I think he is toying with the alternative/adult contemporary feel. I think it suits his voice well. I also think he sounds great singing the more hard rock stuff. He probably mixed it up for TRESPASSING so no one could stick him in any certain genre. Clever indeed!
I can't wait till Tuesday :'( I wish it leaked but only to my computer. I don't want sales to get hurt!
It sounds some what like Can't Let You Go and I love that song. Love this snippet too. Can't get enough of listening to it. I teared up a little after listening to it gizillion times. Can't wait until Tuesday to hear the whole song.
Does anyone know how many times we can buy this single from iTunes to be counted on Nielsen Soundscan charts? And, how many times we can gift it from iTunes?
........Joy in Lambertland.........
At last, at last, the wished for gift has come....
I'll admit the shock of it has almost struck me dumb....
But it seems my fingers are as "wordy" as ever....
Now think, think, try to write something clever....
"Better Than I Know Myself" is now
in fact, a fact....
I feel just like I'm floating,
I don't know how to act....
My happy heart is performing
a beautiful ballet....
My brain is doing cartwheels
and shouting "Ole'"....
What joy, what merriment,
if only we all could mingle....
To celebrate and welcome
This long awaited single....
Next Tuesday will be the lucky day
Hip Hip Hooray....Hip Hip Hooray!
JAK...I'm feeling a bit giddy!
......Bedtime!
Love the "Row row row you boat, faster than anyone else"
Coming out AHEAD!!!
Lizard Eyes
Lizard Eyes...Adam has been and shall be ahead for a very very long time. Thank you. :)
Lam-my
Whoa! JAK, what was that! So beautiful and heart-warming! Thank you. :)
Lam-my
I don't like it,Adam have to stop being so theatrical .I agree with born to be wild crazy Adam performance,if he put some crazy rock it's be cool.
Adam style in this pic dosent suit him this song,i show this to my sister .she said he's a rocker and cool and hot guy.
He's pic is rocker punk and funk too but this song dosent match he's style cover.I'm 20.
Great song, but I fear the key will make it hard to recreate night after night on tour.
@anon 9:21PM I'm 48 but I'm agree with you absolutely!!!!
On this picture Adam is hot glam rock star!
But the song sounds like one of the Katy Perry songs. Doesn't fit cover at all.
They will call us trolls, but each of us can have own opinion. And this is doesn't mean that we don't love Adam. On this picture he is absolutely perfect!!!
Just don't like this snippet
Well I do love the snippet. I think his voice sounds amazing. This song is probably not the most creative one on the album but Adam knows he has to go mainstream and gain lots of new fans. I think this song will get a lot of radio play. The range he needs to sing this is not easy nor are there many singers that could sing this so effortlessly. My teenage daughter absolutely loves it and says it will probably be her favorite song. @brownie I agree with what you said. @JAK love your poem!
BTIKM sounds like Katy Perry?
Wut?
There are many songs on an album and especially with Adam, they are all diff genres. Hold judgement till you hear the album. Plus it's vital to his career that this album sells big. Rock doesn't rule anymore! Pop rules the charts.
I am a little confused. On Tuesday will this single be in the stores, or can we only ge it thru Amazon? Will it be a regular CD that I can play on my CD player. I don't have i-pod or any of those gadgets.
You don't have to have an Ipod. You can download it from itunes onto your computer.I think this single is going to be great. For all those negative comments maybe just wait to listen when the whole song comes out. Obviously not everyone will love it. I loved WWFM and some didn't, but it was a great hit worldwide and got Adam a grammy nomination.
Well I love the snippet! It already keeps going thru my head over and over. I find it very catchy especially when he goes to the highest range singing "better than I know myself".. His range is amazing. Everyone in the music industry knows that and many have said it too. This song is def radio friendly and I'm sure that's what Adam intended. I heard him say on an interview a while back what he needs is "5 more like WWFM". I think BTIKM has the same kind of feel as WWFM. I can see it moving up the charts. Yaaayyyyyy!
CT
Mainstream dosent care if you have voice or not : bieber,nicki minaj,perry but they sale huge.
Gaga ,Adele they make huge but the songs are different and huge fan base.Adam dosent have huge fan base and if he want make it he's have to lesson what teen,18-27 age lesson to.
Most of singers have huge teen fans ,he's song should be good to make it.
i love adam but it sounds like alot of screaming.
I love it so far. All the naysayers just hang on the rest of the song may change your mind.
Everone who wants Adam to sing just rock will always be disappointed this is not who he is, he only performed those on Idol because it was required.
Cant wait to get the song on my ipod.
Good luck,Adam.
Jadam.
i LOVE (kind of), i wanna hear the whole thing to make up my mind. just so happy to hear proper new music!
OT: Claude Kelly just RTd this:
http://www.muumuse.com/2011/12/adam-lambert-better-than-i-know-myself-single-review.html/
"All alone I try to pretend it didn't matter" isn't part of this AO snippet. AO snipped the first snippet on Amazon. Not fair!
After hearing the Claude Kelly demo I felt a bit apprehensive about this song. But not anymore. Adam's version kills! It's amazing how a great voice and production values can change a song. This really has a big chance of being a world wide top 10 hit.
Read a great review and really indepth description of BTIKM on
MuuMuse Single review Adam Lambert.
Sorry if the link has already been posted, havent had a chance to follow them all up yet.
Just google the above to find this.
It sounds like the whole song will give the single a whole different sound.
Jadam.
Love the snippet on AO, it sounds so much better through headphones for those that aren't sure about it.
This link has already been posted, and mentioned by Jadam, but such a good review ( by Sam Lansky) that its worth posting again
http://www.muumuse.com/2011/12/adam-lambert-better-than-i-know-myself-single-review.html/
Adam needs a huge fan base like Gaga, Perry, etc. He does have a big fan base. After all we brought down twitter and Amazon today. But with this album he needs a bigger fanbase to bring down the internet. I think this song will be a huge radio hit across the globe and give him added fan base. Tuesday come fast!
@11:22 PM thanks for the link. That was a great article. We got a little insider information about how the song actually sounds like. Snippet doesn't do the song justice. Although I listened to this snippet a lot. Love it!
Sounds like Katy Perry?? HUH! Some people must be tone deaf or just plain deaf or don't contain any musical sense whatsoever.
Loving these snippets. I don't think it sounds like WWFM or Can't Let You Go. Nothing like them at all. It sounds like a BRAND NEW SONG peeps!! Get used to it or don't listen to it!!@
LOVE,LOVE,LOVE this snippet!Adam's voice is in a class by itself,& this song does not remind me of Katy Perry( she could not sing this)or anybody else.It will be a huge hit,I bet..on radio,live,etc.I can't wait to see BB sing this on Leno,Letterman,Ellen,etc,etc.Trespassing will have rock,ballads,etc.I wish the album could come out earlier than March also,but if it takes til then to tweak it,it will be worth it..EVERYBODY,save some X-mas money to buy some copies in March 2012.I sure will!
I LOVE THIS NEW SONG!
I LOVE THAT AMAZING PIC /COVER of the single so much!
Waiting for it here in Finland!
Right now FYE on the radio.. : )
M
This is exactly perfected for what is out there right now....it's a seller....and will take the world,(without question),and most especially the US by storm! The stuff out there right now is so old and lame and ADAM will hit BTIKM off the planet ensuring an international #1 hit!!!! We all know ADAM can sing anything...he is so darn talented everything is in his grasp but right now this is where it's at...and brilliantly so! Way to go ADAM....You are a genius and one heck of a super guy!
Oh yea, the album cover is fantastic! Loved the 'FYE' cover with glitz and glammer but reallizing that a change WAS gonna come now. But we still know that glitter is in Adams blood but just on back burner.
Wish SONY would get more excited in some parts of the world. The fans are going nuts with endless passion and yet SONY appear to be playing this grand event lukewarm.
But certainly not everywhere.
Love the photo as it has a Bowie look about it and Adam has to love that!
@anon 12.58 I read some sort of press thing yesterday that had BTIKM as being released dec 20th, Trespassing end of Jan, and the single vifeo on vevo jan 30th.

Sqeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I love it!!!!!
Bloody FANTASTIC Indeed!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!
Canadian
Oooh! I especially love it when you can clearly hear his beautiful voice, but the chorus is very catchy, too! Can't wait to hear it on the radio!!
JAK
Óle,Óle y olé!!:)))

@HK Fan
That "press release" is unfortunately fake. Its been floating around for a few days and was made up by someone and passed off as real. It created some excitement as you would imagine, and keeps resurfacing. The album (Trespassing) is still expected to come out "in the spring" (March-ish). But I sure WISH it was coming out earlier!!
In this Toby Knapp (DJ with Radio HOT 99.5 WA DC) interview yesterday with RCA records Promo Executive KING JOE RICCITELLI talks about Adam and his new music, and the album, and when it will be ready for release. Audio only....
http://www.hot995.com/pages/toby.html?article=9512460
I agree with Jadam who said that all of you who are wanting a rock album, well... forget it. That's not what's going on or hot right now. Right now, it's electro-pop dance type stuff. Even Adam Levine is giving in to the trend(Moves Like Jaggar). This may not have been the album Adam Lambert really wanted to make. We know the release date changed a few times. I beleive changes were required by someone other than Adam. But who cares. This is what is being played on the radio now. The record company wants success and so does Adam. I personally like the song.
I chuckle at those here who somehow think that ONE song is going to be what the whole CD is like. Or that ONE song doesn't somehow match the cover pic. How could a cover pic match every song on the CD? That's ridiculous. As for him "screaming" on this song, he hasn't screamed one note. Is a high note always screaming? NO! He hits the high notes perfectly. Screaming is just plain screaming. This is NOT that! Nobody can hit rich, full high notes like Adam. High note do not automatically equal screaming. Funny how some other singers really do scream all the time, but nobody seems to mention it or be bothered by it. But Adam hits a perfect high note, and some people say he's screaming.
DRG
I don't understand the critical comments about this song. It's just what Adam needs to have a huge hit!
Also, maybe some people are tone deaf. To think that Adam is screaming on this record is nuts to me. When Adam sings the high notes he is singing in tune beautifully not screaming. Most of us glamberts get it, but I guess some do not. Oh well. I'm sure there will be something for everyone on the album. I can't wait to buy it!!!!!!!!!!
nancdruuu2
i cant hear whats hes saying,my favorite is the pic its like gaga twin.
ididnt expect that i thought there is amazing songs base on people that heard and play for them,i hope no more than that bring funk from adam mouth in.
on mjsbigblog base on comments twitter break two times.if single came out ithink its gone a crash million times the itunes,amazon adam website.
WELL said DRG, I agree.
Thank you THANK YOU thank you 24/7 for THIS clip I couldn't get the other one to work at all and was getting sooo dissapointed.
I like this a LOT, his voice is up front, range is, whew, well only Adam can hit those notes like that. Love the break, slight echo, silence and "all alone"... sounds great. CAN'T wait to hear the rest!!!
Gonna have to start paying attention to VH1 again, =) Any news there yet?? What will the video for this be like?
Does sound radio friendly, hope we can make this a mega hit Adam so deserves. WoooHOOO!!
p.s.
JAK, you ARE a riot. I wanna be like you when I grow up =)
Cindy
Heard on another site that Chinese fans are planning to meet Adam at the airport when he arrived in Shanghai.
DRG
CONGRATULATIONS Adam! To release a new single in less than 12 months is excellent! People have complained ad nauseam that it was taking too long which is ridiculous. Many artists take much longer than that to release new music.
People think there's screaming in this song. What the ....?! I know screaming when I hear it and I've certainly heard Adam scream but he's not screaming in the snippets we're hearing at the moment. His upper range is extraordinary and it may not be an easy task to sing this song live but I'm so looking forward to hearing the full version of this song and to hear it sung live will be ADAMAZING!! :D
Okay, here it is!!! Official Press Release...the real thing!
TRESPASSING the Album will be released on March 20th, 2012!!!
YAY!!!! Via Toby Knapp at HOT 99.5 radio

Wasn't referring to you BTW, you sneaked in there while I was writing mine comment and gathering more info...
YAY!!!
@HK fan
"it sounds so much better through headphones for those that aren't sure about it"
HaHaHa. Thanks. I tried that. Ten times! It sounds the same.
Let me just say I'll fight with all my (..Bertical) powers to keep the troll in me silent till March. Both of me are ready!
Encounter... Encirclement... Attrition... Annihilation. May the best one win!
The battle of the...

@ Cindy
What nice compliment...a few hints on being like me when you grow up.
Hold on to your 5 yr old self who thinks every new sight and sound and fact is exciting...hold on to your 10 yr old self who ran and skated and rode your bike and your uncle's horses fast, fast, fast...hold on to your 15 year old self who read hundreds of books on every subject while holed up in your room with a jar of dill pickles. Hold on to your too tall, shy 20 year old self who survived the fear of walking into a room of people I didn't know by pretending I was Ava Gardner and I owned the joint!!!
And before you know it...you're an old lady with all those girls still alive inside you!
JAK <3
@JAK Oh that was beautiful! You are such an inspiration to me.Doesn't matter your age when you still keep the childlike wonders and qualities about yourself.I wish you many many more years of happiness and obsessing with us over Adam!!!
I am doing my best to hang around, if the physical therapist I'm going to doesn't kill me...it might be a sweet death, he's very good looking and very "hands on"!!
JAK :) :)
Luv ya Jak.
I feel all that going on inside me, but you express it so well.
Its a compliment when your 5 Grandsons think you are pretty ok, and thats what I hang on to.
Jadam. NZ
@ Jadam
I'm trying so hard not to be jealous of 5 grandsons!!!My one is such a joy I can't imagine that joy 5 times over....no, wait a minute, that means 5 times the worry too, right? I think I'm too weak for that!
They are a treasure aren't they?
And their approval is the greatest compliment!!!!!
JAK
What a gift he is!!!
JAK, It is true you do have 5 times the worry, but it is worth it, my special first born grandson is just starting to spread his wings at 15, my heart nearly stops at times, I love him so much, and they have to find things out themselves, all we want is to get them thru it happily, safetly and well educated.
The saying you cant put an old head on young shoulders is so true, I wish it wasnt.
Jadam.
11:53 Thanks for the link on the review. It was so nice to hear comments about Adam in such a positve way. I think Adam has earned to move forward in the business. He has taken his lumps over some stupid shit long enough. Let's embrace his gift and support him totally now. With all those collaberations and support of his piers the sky is the limit for sure. Cudo's to the fans who have never left his side. The ride has been interesting but it is about to get very exciting. Here's a toast to the fans;new management. And fingers up to Old management who thought the only way to go was politically correct. Out with the old and in with the new. Thanks goodnes; however one things that remain the same in the Glamily.
BS
After re-reading this thread, I just want to say that I feel such joy in my connection with all of you. You "get" Adam just like I do. You're smart and funny and compassionate. We can disagree but still come back together. Funny how good this feels with a group of people who have never met face to face. Even if we never do meet, I for one will treasure this roller coaster ride with Adam!
DRG
DRG
Nice comment, I totally agree with you. This is a nice "place" to come to take a break from the real live having a nice "talk" with the rest of the Glamily.It makes us feel really good.:))))
SG
@ JAK... I read your post about keeping your 'selves' with you with tears in my eyes. That was not me who replied just under that post, but it surley could have been... Thanks so much for sharing that and I'm SURE you've touched and inspired all who read it. =)...
So thank you anon @ 11:50 for writing what I was thinking, =) and doing it so well.
DRG!! You and JAK & I and a bunch of others GOTTA hang out!!! =D Would be great if we could all meet??? GLITZYLADY you too... and Funnbun40 and MGF (where u been?) and all my faves I enjoy reading. Wouldnt it be great if we could actually meet... maybe when Adam goes on tour for this new album?? =D good Lord what crazy- fun - bedlam that will be...
even just to imagine!
Dec 20th, March 20th... HURRY UP!
Cindy
The whole song is available in YouTube now. GREAT...
