You know, ladies, i'm slightly tired of these promotions radio interviews. Want to see the numbers. Or we just don't have to be so impressed about eahc one of these interviews. I want to see Adam nods on AMA, Grammys,etc. I'm not sure it'll happen this year. Again:(
Adam, great performance. It sounds like acapella performance. Because....... Tommy, please, quit, or you will be fired. Kevin is awesome musician. I don't think Adam needs Tommy any more. As less he want to support old friend.
Adam you COULD sing commercial too (not just the phone book!)
Wow, I think I will go listen to this a few more times. This is the best acoustic so far IMO. I love that Adam is giving Tommy the opportunity to do these promo's but I agree, Kevin seems to do a better job. Wonder if Kevin is taking a break or Adam's just giving Tommy an opportunity. No matter, I love them both! Adam must be a great boss! Noticed Tommy toning down the makeup too.
Why do some of you people want Tommy gone? He is Adam's friend and was there way before Kevin. He likes and needs both of them. Friendship is something you can't replace and Adam is very loyal to his friends. So stop dissing Tommy. Find better things to do with your time.
Nothing against Tommy but his lack of talent. He just isn't good enough, Should Adam carry him on friendship alone? That would be cutting his own throat. It's so OBVIOUS that Tommy lacks the skill needed.....obvious everytime Kevin plays. Don't you hear the difference between their abilities? I can't even hear Tommy, he's useless!
it is really a shame that Adam and Monte have parted ways..cause I agree,Tommy does lack the talent needed to be a band member for Adam..I also agree that, for some as yet unknown reason, the amazing Adam lambert is just not getting the air play, etc., he so richly deserves..does anyone have any kind of explanation for this...
I fell even more deeply in love with Adam after that performance. How can that be? :) He was so into it. He is like such an angel. An angel and a rock star all rolled up in one. How often does that happen? That was such a great heartfelt performance. Adam knows how to sing more softly when the guitar is perhaps too soft, so no problem.
WTF??? This video clip stopped half way through the song and from what I heard, it was the best live performance of BTIKM I've heard to date. I really liked that the sound of the guitar was soft, leaving Adam's voice so clear. I think it's too loud when Kevin plays but that's just MPOV.
I wonder if this performance is on youtube. I'll head over there and search for it.
I don't miss Monte, never really warmed to him. Actually didn't really follow the band that much, although personality wise, I think this wet up is working well. The 4 members Adam has now all seem really great and all seem to love Adam. So maybe Tommy isn't the strongest player, but sometimes frindship and loyality are worth more.
The dj who introduced Adam must not realize that the "Glam and Glitter'he once wore is no longer part of his new, fresh style. That was then; this is Adam now. I also wonder why Adam is not getting any air play for BTIKM. I just don't get it. We hear so much garbage on the radio and when a superb vocal talent comes along like Adam, he is practically ignored. He is on this promo schedule that seems to be grueling as he performs the same 2 or 3 songs for the gathered audience and answers the same questions. His performances are always great and yet ..... I just hope that when TRESPASSING is released that it is greated with accolades and success because Adam Lambert certainly deserves it. And to add, I think Kevin is so much better than Tommy. Tommy seems to have no personality, almost seems bored. Whatever it takes, get it together before the release of the album and any live performances on tv to promote the next single. Adam has poured his heart and soul into the production of his sophomore album and I would hate to see him disappointed with it release. From the three new songs I have seen on video here, they sound great and any one of them would make a good second single.
keep voting on the VH1 top 20 peeps.Adam's airplay is picking up slowly. Let's see, when someone introduces Adam, don't mention gay, AI or glitter and anything else from his past. lol Looking forward to seeing the whole band together live someday. Why all the comparing? so high school.
This promo tour touches more and more people each time. Of course he has to answer the same questions, sing the same songs, etc. Celebrities promoting a book have to talk about the same book over and over. Celebs promoting a movie have to do the same. It's no different here. We who follow Adam each day see him do the same thing over and over, but the casual or new listener does not. As for Tommy, he's not the smiley type, but I think he's cute and I like him on stage. And quite honestly, I don't think that 99.9% of the listeners out there hear a big difference from one guitarist to another. Please don't jump all over me about this. I just think most people hear the music in the background and that's it. Tommy plays well. Kevin plays well. They're different. I think Tommy will emerge more as a lead guitarist when they go on tour. I'll bet he can do a killer guitar solo! And YAY to Adam and Sauli for being able to be together, esp. since Sauli's b-day is coming up on the 28th. DRG
Monte isn't old, but he looks old. He plays great, but he not the only good guitarist out there. The new band looks young and cool, and they are all talented. The live concerts will be great.
I love this cause I can hear Adams voice surrounds and it's perfect not to echeod the guitar too much.
About not liking whoever with ADAMS side please folks give the gentleman a break. Tommy is not excellent to compare with the others but he is fine. Monte and Kevin are more experience in my opinion.
Nothing personal, but I like Kevins playing more. I admit I know nothing about music. Here I go explaining my opinion, but it seems we must explain, if we like someone else more than Tommy, because Adam's band = Tommy. Besides, Kevin has worked with Rihanna.
Already during GNT it was Tommy Joe Ratliff featuring Adam Lambert. And it continues. Does Adam give the same attention to Ashley? No, because she isn't a cry baby like Tommy.
LOVE this performance of BTIKM. Adam's pure voice is so clear with the lovely soft tone of the guitar in the background instead of sounding jarring which detracts from performances. Adam applauds loyalty and he has that in bucket loads from Tommy Joe. I think he has a great band.
Tommy and Cam were the weakest in the band, imo. Loyalty is good, but unfortunately to get to the next level Adam also needs best musicians. Of course Adam can continue to be good friends, or whatever he wants, with Tommy without him playing in the band, don't you think. Adam can't let Tommy's fans dictate his own career. It's stupid and costly.
Oh for goodness sake, all the nasties have come out to play with their razor blades today. In a nutshell: insulting Tommy Joe means you’re insulting Adam.
8:05 AM, Maybe it's wrong to comment only about the music, but I'm a casual fan and I hardly comment about anything else here anymore. Radios and most record buyers, even concert goers in a larger scale only care about the music. On that scale the Adommy is just itty-bitty.
What I like about Kevin that he seems as very optimistc person and full of energy musician.He always smiling and look very happy. Sorry but I can't say same think about Tommy or Monti. Isaac is very annoying musician also. I think Adam needs to find good drummer if he plans to go to the tour. Any, happy Sunday!Don't forget to change the time.And have a "Lazy Sunday Afternoon"LOLOLOL
Ok, people, you know I love to use... faunal references when I comment on the ..Berts’ behavior, don’t you? Let me tell you though, it’s the first time I’m picturing a flock of jays on this site. It’s like the all genera of jays reunion!
“Want to see the numbers”... “F...........U”.... “Tommy, please, quit”.... ”I love them both”.... ”Stop dissing Tommy”... “He just isn't good enough”.... ”It is really a shame that Adam and Monte have parted ways”... “Love Tommy”... “I disagree about Monte[...] I'm glad he's gone”... ”Much rather see Tommy”...”People just ignore the crays”... “WTF???”... “Keep voting”... ”Please don't jump all over me”.... “Monte isn't old, but he looks old”... “Give the gentleman a break”... “Oh for goodness sake”...
Would you mind a (true) crow call? (I mean mine) We are all corvids here, you know? Very loud, sometimes aggressive, but seemingly intelligent... Or so they say. They haven’t tested all... of us yet! :-))
@9:42AM You're not speaking the passerine language? Good for you! I guess. HaHaHa. Honest to God, the 'n' in 'Knoww' is a Freudian slip... Or is it 'Corvidian'? GLb
9:38 AM, I meant I liked Kevin better at the radio gigs. Kevin does not play lead guitar in Adam's band and hence is not a threat. So far we have only heard Monte and Tommy playing lead guitar in the band.
LOVE TOMMY-TOMMY IS AMERICAN AND MUSICIAN AND BEEN FRIENDS OF ADAM LAMBERT FOR A WHITE OR LONG TIME-TOMMY IS THE PART OF ADAM LAMBERT BAND; NO HATE WE HAVE TO LIKE ADAM LAMBERT FRIENDS.
Tommy, Kevin, whoever Adam wants playing with him, is fine by me. Its his business, just like his personal business is his. Let the man sing, and enjoy the music. Thats all he wants to do for us fans and he is the best at it. He hugged Jordan, he is so kind and sweet. Look at him, how come so many fans like to give him such a hard way to go? He tries his best to please us.
Well, artists should remain true to themselves and their visions and not try to please. I think Adam should not please the fans more than he already does. They learn to be greedy.
Well. At this point I almost hate to state an opinion about ANYTHING on this thread but what the heck. Just shoot me now....
I LOVED Adam's performance here...In my opinion, he literally shines at this type of song, his voice is at its best: SO beautiful and with the soft guitar in the background, we can hear it perfectly. For the record, I personally could give a s**t who is there to accompany him..Its Adam I want to see and hear. Sorry, but that's pretty much the way I feel.
Okay, now for some Tommy comments since many here seem to think its open season on Tommy. First of all, this song was not being sung/played to highlight Tommy's very competent and experienced guitar skills. It is an acoustic performance, hence the simple, quiet acoustic guitar. Every musician has their own style. Tommy is quiet and a bit shy. He doesn't smile as much as Kevin (who I think is great BTW but I'm not going to compare the two) while playing, for instance, but I would suggest that Adam is the main focus during these events, not the accompanist .. That said, I personally don't sit and judge all of the band members when Adam is singing and performing. I watch HIM on stage during concerts and I've been to more than a few. He is pretty much who I see and hear. I don't remember once thinking about the band during those concerts. I've met some of them more than once, which was fun, but Adam is always my main man and always will be. The music was good, really good, Adam was fabulous, and I was in heaven each time. Monte is no longer in the band. I thought he was/is an excellent guitarist but at this point its completely moot...Why bring him up? That ship has sailed, so to speak. I liked him personally, and am more than sad that the events that led to his departure happened but I also understand why and I support Adam 100% in his decision. Just an unfortunate situation. Not getting into that. Old news. And there are those who would continue the dissing to include Cam and Isaac. I understand that we all have preferences, and are entitled to them, but what the hell?? Cam is great, and I love Isaac, both as a musician and a person. What is important to this discussion, since his name was brought up, is that he IS an accomplished drummer. Adam is free to choose whomever he wishes to be in his band. Adam is a perfectionist, and I doubt he would not expect the same from his band members. Its pretty darn hard to judge the quality of the sound of a band or even an individual musician from these (radio) types of gigs.. Many are not professionally recorded. The sound is often uneven, and it isn't necessarily the fault of the musician that we hear the drums too prominently, or the guitar not prominently enough.. Adam has a mic so his voice shows up well, its a crapshoot on the others.
Since I'm at it: @Anon 9:30 PM : So what do you think all these performances/appearances are FOR exactly?? The are specifically for promoting Adam and his music. If you are getting tired of them, just don't bother watching or listening. (I don't always listen to all, because real life keeps me busy..so glad I heard this one, because Adam was outstanding..as always..) Its as simple as that. Many radio listeners are either not familiar with him or haven't kept up with his career and he has to say the same things over and over. Its informative and what he's there to say. He is working really hard to get his name back out there, to promote his new music, and as a side light some very very lucky fans get to meet him and are treated to a mini-concert. And perhaps with all of the promo, more radio station Program Managers will include Adam in their playlists/rotation, because in the world of radio, that's what it takes: you have to be played to be heard: Unless you are Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, etc., you are at the whim of the Program Managers apparently. For instance, my local Top 40 KISS station in Seattle has yet to play BTIKM (as far as I know) or include Adam in the rotation..I keep (respectfully) requesting it and still nothing. I really hope Adam comes here and does some promotion, but so far no (but IS coming to Portland OR). Fortunately he IS getting radio play elsewhere. I also hope his next single, whatever it may end up being, blows the roof off and the new album is wildly successful. I have very good feeling about it and I still have faith that this WILL be a very good year for Adam, in so many ways.
When I saw the video of Adam listening to the DJ reading Jordan's email , he seems so moved that his bottom lip quivers two times he is so moved .like is on the verge of breaking down...then he hugs her how awesome is this...one of the reasons I love him so
This thread is a mess. So I'll make it messier. Since Kevin is Musical Director I'd let him choose the band. He's experienced and damn good and I'm sure would choose really good people. I wonder if Ashley was a recommendation of his? She's good and the two of them far outshine the two others. Won't mention them by name, not necessary. Actually Adam is not a band! It's not Adam and the Glam Band or whatever. He's a solo artist. But when he performs a gig where a band is needed it should be excellent musicians, not best friends. All this discussion is completely futile, we have no say in this Adam will do as he always does. Exactly what Adam wants. I will do as I always do, try to ignore the band and just listen to Adam (and occasionally watch Tommy wander aimlessly, looking bored out of his skull).
Had the camera man not included Tommy in the performance this whould be a totally different experience for most of you. Adam sounds his best and that is what we should be talking about. This was a perfect acoustic performance of BTIKM. Just my thoughts.
Adams fans are up for an award for the best fan base. It makes me very sad to read some of these comments its like with fans like these who needs enemies I hope who ever is presenting the awards over looks a lot of you just love Adam for what he is don't be so cruel it takes every & each person picked to put on a show & every one is important. Adam & everyone he works with needs all of our support.
My two cents, Tommy sounded good on guitar but my priority was on the SOLO artist ADAM LAMBERT. However Kevin looks more lively in interviews smiles and comes off as more charismatic than Tommy who has a dead stare half the time. He is hot and good for kissing on stage and appears loyal to Adam BUT at the end of the day Kevin has more experience so will always go for that over a pretty kitty.
Having said that as long as the sound is good and compliments Adam's voice then who gives a f*** who is playing guitar. As for the Adommy crays who think Tommy is the best player in the world and one had the audacity to suggest that Tommy play with Queen when Adam performs (Hahahahaha) please take your pills or visit your therapist (yes you) and when you can show me a kiss off stage to prove your hypothesis then we can talk.
Adam is the best and wish him nothing but success this 2012!!!

Tommy Joe knows how to accompany Adam Lambert with great guitar playing allowing Adam's magnificent voice to be heard. I have many years of musical training and I play the guitar - EXCELLENT performance by both.
Adam has said that it is important that he have friends in the band when he tours...and I think it better that he is happy when he tours than to spend months on the road with "the best of the best" and not enjoy it. This is his life, his career, his choice of band members. I defer the decisions to him. :)
I am trying to understand all this talk about the band that plays for the "star" Adam Lambert---I don't get it. I just want to hear Adam sing and dance and do his best on stage.. . who plays in the band is up to whoever hires them for ADAM ---it certainly does not matter to me as long as they play well and keep up with Adam. I go to see Adam not the band!!! love you Adam!!!
With all the comments here about band members, good and bad, what does it really matter because we do not make the final decision as to whom Adam wants with him esp. once he goes on tour. Adam knows the sound he needs from the songs he has recorded for TRESPASSING and must feel confident in the individuals he has selected so far. I also agree that Adam is not getting the radio play he should be getting for BTIKM here in the NYC area and he has already done the promos on several of the local stations. I just don't get it. The listening public settles for "garbage" in many cases with no talent performers whose music is enhanced with auto-tuning and other electronic techniques. And here is Adam Lambert, the best vocal talent in the music business today, following a gruelling schedule just to be heard. Hopefully with the release of TRESPASSING and the next single from it, the listening public will finally appreciate and understand what we as his devoted fans have known all along that he is a vocal powerhouse in a league of his own.
Any lesser person would have given up trying to establish a music career as has Adam during the last three years. Consider some of the negative comments, criticism, publicity and pictures that have just tried to break him down. And yet all of these challenges have made him fight harder because he is not afraid to express himself through his music, his friends and his fashion. The power of his voice so impresses me as does his message of love, understanding, acceptance and respect. I was a fan from day one on AI and will continue to be one supporting Adam through his musical career which will be very long and successful.
Adam's band, Adam's choice. Adam's career. His dancers and band members have the same considerations and the most talented will be in demand and can be expected to move on. NVM, as long as everyone grows, makes a living and stays in touch (if they become friends.)
No worries about new band members/friends threatening the old. Adam's has a lot of love in him.
can someone tell me how I can get this to play all the way through? It keeps pausing, I have no problem with you-tube- can't get this to play- what's embelved mean??? This ones not on you-tube? Not like I haven't heard the song before, but really want to hear this version with tommy.
@7:01 couldn't agree with you more!!! Why isn't adam geting radio play, all these crap ( I mean really crap new songs are being played constantly) I'm so frustrated right now- it's like blackball the best singer on the planet and I know I love him but what I listen to lately they are all autotuned cannot hold a note, give me a headache just aweful _ what has become of music today ???with this generation? The worse in history IMO!!!
@#glizylady- once again you say it so perfectly and I agree with you 100%. I look for your comments sometimes to straightened things out here- thankyou!
I believe that Adam knows exactly what he wants, whom he chooses as his band or as his dancers. As he has said many times, he wants to be surrounded by his loving "glamily," people & friends whom he can trust and be comfortable with. He does not need the best guitarist or drummer in the world but who can give him a headache! After all, we go to see Adam, not his band or dancers, as long as they do a good job. It makes sense to me too and, to me, Adam is definitely a very wise young man!
I have heard Kevin a few times on these videos and his guitar has always been out of tune. Adam is always on key. Tommy's guitar is in tune and he plays better. As for no personality...he is not the featured act. Also the audio people adjust the sound of everything. I do like Kevin on keyboards just great!
I think remember someone saying entitlement isn't sexy...oh now I remember it was ADAM...the man is a master at his craft...I'm pretty sure he is more than capable of choosing who can and will play wtih him...I for one was glad to see Tommy...really like Kevin...love Adam...and hope 2012 will a be a year to remember for all.
HEY all you Tommy naysayers. A musician is NEVER supposed to play so loud that you can't hear the singer, especially in an a capella version of a song. Secondly, a musician assists the singer in delivering his song. He is NOT the main attraction. Tommy Ratliff did exactly what was required of him here.

And this is the reason why Bryan and Rodger love Adam!

Sorry, ladies

Adam, great performance. It sounds like acapella performance. Because....... Tommy, please, quit, or you will be fired. Kevin is awesome musician. I don't think Adam needs Tommy any more. As less he want to support old friend.
Oh boy it was nice while it lasted.
Plug it in, plug it in. Cute.
Adam you COULD sing commercial too (not just the phone book!)
Wow, I think I will go listen to this a few more times. This is the best acoustic so far IMO. I love that Adam is giving Tommy the opportunity to do these promo's but I agree, Kevin seems to do a better job. Wonder if Kevin is taking a break or Adam's just giving Tommy an opportunity. No matter, I love them both! Adam must be a great boss! Noticed Tommy toning down the makeup too.
Every time I see that jacket I think of how my fingerprints are on THAT very jacket haha! How many others too?!

Your welcome HAL! Wish we were there!!!
Haha, Adam's latest tweet!:
“@thenameisMASHA: I'm Glad You Came. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N1yymoqWt4” damn girl saaaang! I think I ... came. ;)
Why do some of you people want Tommy gone? He is Adam's friend and was there way before Kevin. He likes and needs both of them. Friendship is something you can't replace and Adam is very loyal to his friends. So stop dissing Tommy. Find better things to do with your time.
wow, that was beautiful. Could barely hear the guitar so it was almost totally acapella.
Nothing against Tommy but his lack of talent. He just isn't good enough, Should Adam carry him on friendship alone? That would be cutting his own throat. It's so OBVIOUS that Tommy lacks the skill needed.....obvious everytime Kevin plays. Don't you hear the difference between their abilities? I can't even hear Tommy, he's useless!
it is really a shame that Adam and Monte have parted ways..cause I agree,Tommy does lack the talent needed to be a band member for Adam..I also agree that, for some as yet unknown reason, the amazing Adam lambert is just not getting the air play, etc., he so richly deserves..does anyone have any kind of explanation for this...
love Tommy . glad to see him here. He really promotes Adam on twitter too. Ride some other horse and get off Tommy's back!
I fell even more deeply in love with Adam after that performance. How can that be? :)
He was so into it. He is like such an angel. An angel and a rock star all rolled up in one. How often does that happen?
That was such a great heartfelt performance. Adam knows how to sing more softly when the guitar is perhaps too soft, so no problem.
I disagree about Monte. He was a virtuoso but lacked character in his guitar playing. His stage presence was egotistical. I'm glad he's gone.
I miss Monte's excellent guitar playing.
ditto 6:24 am. i wish that Monte has success,but Much rather see Tommy .
so glad to see my main man again TommyJR. This was beautifully done!!! people just ignore the crays.
WTF??? This video clip stopped half way through the song and from what I heard, it was the best live performance of BTIKM I've heard to date. I really liked that the sound of the guitar was soft, leaving Adam's voice so clear. I think it's too loud when Kevin plays but that's just MPOV.
I wonder if this performance is on youtube. I'll head over there and search for it.
I don't miss Monte, never really warmed to him. Actually didn't really follow the band that much, although personality wise, I think this wet up is working well. The 4 members Adam has now all seem really great and all seem to love Adam. So maybe Tommy isn't the strongest player, but sometimes frindship and loyality are worth more.
The dj who introduced Adam must not realize that the "Glam and Glitter'he once wore is no longer part of his new, fresh style. That was then; this is Adam now. I also wonder why Adam is not getting any air play for BTIKM. I just don't get it. We hear so much garbage on the radio and when a superb vocal talent comes along like Adam, he is practically ignored. He is on this promo schedule that seems to be grueling as he performs the same 2 or 3 songs for the gathered audience and answers the same questions. His performances are always great and yet ..... I just hope that when TRESPASSING is released that it is greated with accolades and success because Adam Lambert certainly deserves it. And to add, I think Kevin is so much better than Tommy. Tommy seems to have no personality, almost seems bored. Whatever it takes, get it together before the release of the album and any live performances on tv to promote the next single. Adam has poured his heart and soul into the production of his sophomore album and I would hate to see him disappointed with it release. From the three new songs I have seen on video here, they sound great and any one of them would make a good second single.
keep voting on the VH1 top 20 peeps.Adam's airplay is picking up slowly. Let's see, when someone introduces Adam, don't mention gay, AI or glitter and anything else from his past. lol Looking forward to seeing the whole band together live someday. Why all the comparing? so high school.
This promo tour touches more and more people each time. Of course he has to answer the same questions, sing the same songs, etc. Celebrities promoting a book have to talk about the same book over and over. Celebs promoting a movie have to do the same. It's no different here. We who follow Adam each day see him do the same thing over and over, but the casual or new listener does not.
As for Tommy, he's not the smiley type, but I think he's cute and I like him on stage. And quite honestly, I don't think that 99.9% of the listeners out there hear a big difference from one guitarist to another. Please don't jump all over me about this. I just think most people hear the music in the background and that's it. Tommy plays well. Kevin plays well. They're different. I think Tommy will emerge more as a lead guitarist when they go on tour. I'll bet he can do a killer guitar solo! And YAY to Adam and Sauli for being able to be together, esp. since Sauli's b-day is coming up on the 28th.

Monte isn't old, but he looks old. He plays great, but he not the only good guitarist out there. The new band looks young and cool, and they are all talented. The live concerts will be great.
I love this cause I can hear Adams voice surrounds and it's perfect not to echeod the guitar too much.
About not liking whoever with ADAMS side please folks give the gentleman a break. Tommy is not excellent to compare with the others but he is fine. Monte and Kevin are more experience in my opinion.

Nothing personal, but I like Kevins playing more. I admit I know nothing about music. Here I go explaining my opinion, but it seems we must explain, if we like someone else more than Tommy, because Adam's band = Tommy. Besides, Kevin has worked with Rihanna.
Already during GNT it was Tommy Joe Ratliff featuring Adam Lambert. And it continues. Does Adam give the same attention to Ashley? No, because she isn't a cry baby like Tommy.
LOVE this performance of BTIKM. Adam's pure voice is so clear with the lovely soft tone of the guitar in the background instead of sounding jarring which detracts from performances. Adam applauds loyalty and he has that in bucket loads from Tommy Joe. I think he has a great band.
Geez, who needs enemies when you've got friends like this on this topic. Give it a break, folks - quit bagging Tommy. He is ADAM'S CHOICE!!
Tommy and Cam were the weakest in the band, imo. Loyalty is good, but unfortunately to get to the next level Adam also needs best musicians. Of course Adam can continue to be good friends, or whatever he wants, with Tommy without him playing in the band, don't you think. Adam can't let Tommy's fans dictate his own career. It's stupid and costly.
Oh for goodness sake, all the nasties have come out to play with their razor blades today. In a nutshell: insulting Tommy Joe means you’re insulting Adam.
8:05 AM, Maybe it's wrong to comment only about the music, but I'm a casual fan and I hardly comment about anything else here anymore. Radios and most record buyers, even concert goers in a larger scale only care about the music. On that scale the Adommy is just itty-bitty.
Adam may have asked Tommy to play softly for this performance and he did just that, such that the whole performance was beautiful. Loved it. :)
What I like about Kevin that he seems as very optimistc person and full of energy musician.He always smiling and look very happy. Sorry but I can't say same think about Tommy or Monti. Isaac is very annoying musician also. I think Adam needs to find good drummer if he plans to go to the tour.
Any, happy Sunday!Don't forget to change the time.And have a "Lazy Sunday Afternoon"LOLOLOL

Ok, people, you know I love to use... faunal references when I comment on the ..Berts’ behavior, don’t you? Let me tell you though, it’s the first time I’m picturing a flock of jays on this site. It’s like the all genera of jays reunion!
“Want to see the numbers”... “F...........U”.... “Tommy, please, quit”.... ”I love them both”.... ”Stop dissing Tommy”... “He just isn't good enough”.... ”It is really a shame that Adam and Monte have parted ways”... “Love Tommy”... “I disagree about Monte[...] I'm glad he's gone”... ”Much rather see Tommy”...”People just ignore the crays”... “WTF???”... “Keep voting”... ”Please don't jump all over me”.... “Monte isn't old, but he looks old”... “Give the gentleman a break”... “Oh for goodness sake”...
Would you mind a (true) crow call? (I mean mine) We are all corvids here, you know? Very loud, sometimes aggressive, but seemingly intelligent... Or so they say. They haven’t tested all... of us yet! :-))
Koww Koww Knoww!!!
GLb
I never heard Kevin play lead guitar yet, it sounds like most of you guys have. Where?
9:33 What??
@9:42AM You're not speaking the passerine language? Good for you! I guess.
HaHaHa.
Honest to God, the 'n' in 'Knoww' is a Freudian slip... Or is it 'Corvidian'? GLb
9:38 AM, I meant I liked Kevin better at the radio gigs. Kevin does not play lead guitar in Adam's band and hence is not a threat. So far we have only heard Monte and Tommy playing lead guitar in the band.
perfect looks-perfect voice adam lambert my favorite and one and only (favorite singer)
LOVE TOMMY-TOMMY IS AMERICAN AND MUSICIAN AND BEEN FRIENDS OF ADAM LAMBERT FOR A WHITE OR LONG TIME-TOMMY IS THE PART OF ADAM LAMBERT BAND; NO HATE WE HAVE TO LIKE ADAM LAMBERT FRIENDS.
8:14 god I was wondering how long it would take you to bring up Cam?
Tommy, Kevin, whoever Adam wants playing with him, is fine by me.
Its his business, just like his personal business is his.
Let the man sing, and enjoy the music.
Thats all he wants to do for us fans and he is the best at it.
He hugged Jordan, he is so kind and sweet.
Look at him, how come so many fans like to give him such a hard way to go? He tries his best to please us.
most of these negative posts about Tommy are by the same person.I thought she was gone.
Well, artists should remain true to themselves and their visions and not try to please. I think Adam should not please the fans more than he already does. They learn to be greedy.
10:31 lol I know I try my best to ignore but she thinks everyone is so stupid.
10:36, I don't think everyone is stupid, but I do think a lot of Tommy's fans are stupid, tbh. They're not helping Adam's career.
They probably think I'm a RCA spokesperson..
10:36 yep she'll be ripping out the medgies and 3way any minute.
Why are these people not try to get along if you really care about Adams concern.
If u really a true fan just make the best of it!!!!
Do it for Adam and live the life to the fullest....
Rock until you are out of breath how about that???:)
Chill out and have fun on this site folks:)
Canadian
Well. At this point I almost hate to state an opinion about ANYTHING on this thread but what the heck. Just shoot me now....
I LOVED Adam's performance here...In my opinion, he literally shines at this type of song, his voice is at its best: SO beautiful and with the soft guitar in the background, we can hear it perfectly. For the record, I personally could give a s**t who is there to accompany him..Its Adam I want to see and hear. Sorry, but that's pretty much the way I feel.
Okay, now for some Tommy comments since many here seem to think its open season on Tommy. First of all, this song was not being sung/played to highlight Tommy's very competent and experienced guitar skills. It is an acoustic performance, hence the simple, quiet acoustic guitar. Every musician has their own style. Tommy is quiet and a bit shy. He doesn't smile as much as Kevin (who I think is great BTW but I'm not going to compare the two) while playing, for instance, but I would suggest that Adam is the main focus during these events, not the accompanist .. That said, I personally don't sit and judge all of the band members when Adam is singing and performing. I watch HIM on stage during concerts and I've been to more than a few. He is pretty much who I see and hear. I don't remember once thinking about the band during those concerts. I've met some of them more than once, which was fun, but Adam is always my main man and always will be. The music was good, really good, Adam was fabulous, and I was in heaven each time. Monte is no longer in the band. I thought he was/is an excellent guitarist but at this point its completely moot...Why bring him up? That ship has sailed, so to speak. I liked him personally, and am more than sad that the events that led to his departure happened but I also understand why and I support Adam 100% in his decision. Just an unfortunate situation. Not getting into that. Old news. And there are those who would continue the dissing to include Cam and Isaac. I understand that we all have preferences, and are entitled to them, but what the hell?? Cam is great, and I love Isaac, both as a musician and a person. What is important to this discussion, since his name was brought up, is that he IS an accomplished drummer. Adam is free to choose whomever he wishes to be in his band. Adam is a perfectionist, and I doubt he would not expect the same from his band members. Its pretty darn hard to judge the quality of the sound of a band or even an individual musician from these (radio) types of gigs.. Many are not professionally recorded. The sound is often uneven, and it isn't necessarily the fault of the musician that we hear the drums too prominently, or the guitar not prominently enough.. Adam has a mic so his voice shows up well, its a crapshoot on the others.
Since I'm at it: @Anon 9:30 PM : So what do you think all these performances/appearances are FOR exactly?? The are specifically for promoting Adam and his music. If you are getting tired of them, just don't bother watching or listening. (I don't always listen to all, because real life keeps me busy..so glad I heard this one, because Adam was outstanding..as always..) Its as simple as that. Many radio listeners are either not familiar with him or haven't kept up with his career and he has to say the same things over and over. Its informative and what he's there to say. He is working really hard to get his name back out there, to promote his new music, and as a side light some very very lucky fans get to meet him and are treated to a mini-concert. And perhaps with all of the promo, more radio station Program Managers will include Adam in their playlists/rotation, because in the world of radio, that's what it takes: you have to be played to be heard: Unless you are Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, etc., you are at the whim of the Program Managers apparently. For instance, my local Top 40 KISS station in Seattle has yet to play BTIKM (as far as I know) or include Adam in the rotation..I keep (respectfully) requesting it and still nothing. I really hope Adam comes here and does some promotion, but so far no (but IS coming to Portland OR). Fortunately he IS getting radio play elsewhere. I also hope his next single, whatever it may end up being, blows the roof off and the new album is wildly successful. I have very good feeling about it and I still have faith that this WILL be a very good year for Adam, in so many ways.
Sheesh.
When I saw the video of Adam listening to the DJ reading Jordan's email , he seems so moved that his bottom lip quivers two times he is so moved .like is on the verge of breaking down...then he hugs her how awesome is this...one of the reasons I love him so
10:25 AM, because Cam still calls Tommy Pretty Kitty and Kitty Cat. GNT was two years ago ffs. I don't trust her.
My favorite accoustic version
This thread is a mess. So I'll make it messier. Since Kevin is Musical Director I'd let him choose the band. He's experienced and damn good and I'm sure would choose really good people. I wonder if Ashley was a recommendation of his? She's good and the two of them far outshine the two others. Won't mention them by name, not necessary.
Actually Adam is not a band! It's not Adam and the Glam Band or whatever. He's a solo artist. But when he performs a gig where a band is needed it should be excellent musicians, not best friends. All this discussion is completely futile, we have no say in this Adam will do as he always does. Exactly what Adam wants.
I will do as I always do, try to ignore the band and just listen to Adam (and occasionally watch Tommy wander aimlessly, looking bored out of his skull).
Had the camera man not included Tommy in the performance this whould be a totally different experience for most of you. Adam sounds his best and that is what we should be talking about. This was a perfect acoustic performance of BTIKM. Just my thoughts.
Adams fans are up for an award for the best fan base. It makes me very sad to read some of these comments its like with fans like these who needs enemies I hope who ever is presenting the awards over looks a lot of you just love Adam for what he is don't be so cruel it takes every & each person picked to put on a show & every one is important. Adam & everyone he works with needs all of our support.
My two cents, Tommy sounded good on guitar but my priority was on the SOLO artist ADAM LAMBERT. However Kevin looks more lively in interviews smiles and comes off as more charismatic than Tommy who has a dead stare half the time. He is hot and good for kissing on stage and appears loyal to Adam BUT at the end of the day Kevin has more experience so will always go for that over a pretty kitty.
Having said that as long as the sound is good and compliments Adam's voice then who gives a f*** who is playing guitar. As for the Adommy crays who think Tommy is the best player in the world and one had the audacity to suggest that Tommy play with Queen when Adam performs (Hahahahaha) please take your pills or visit your therapist (yes you) and when you can show me a kiss off stage to prove your hypothesis then we can talk.
Adam is the best and wish him nothing but success this 2012!!!

Tommy Joe knows how to accompany Adam Lambert with great guitar playing allowing Adam's magnificent voice to be heard. I have many years of musical training and I play the guitar - EXCELLENT performance by both.
Enough of this crab-fest! I'm done.
DRG
I see, so we just accept your opinion that Tommy is chock full of talent? Well that settles that.
Look out Brian May here comes Pretty Kitty Tommy!
I checked the RS list of best guitarists of all time. My fave is probably Eddie Van Halen. He's #8.
4:44 please grow up I know you think you are cute but I find you rather unpleasant, and yes please except my opinion on that.
Adam has said that it is important that he have friends in the band when he tours...and I think it better that he is happy when he tours than to spend months on the road with "the best of the best" and not enjoy it. This is his life, his career, his choice of band members. I defer the decisions to him. :)
I am trying to understand all this talk about the band that plays for the "star" Adam Lambert---I don't get it. I just want to hear Adam sing and dance and do his best on stage.. . who plays in the band is up to whoever hires them
for ADAM ---it certainly does not matter to me as long as they play well and keep up with Adam. I go to see Adam not the band!!! love you Adam!!!
With all the comments here about band members, good and bad, what does it really matter because we do not make the final decision as to whom Adam wants with him esp. once he goes on tour. Adam knows the sound he needs from the songs he has recorded for TRESPASSING and must feel confident in the individuals he has selected so far. I also agree that Adam is not getting the radio play he should be getting for BTIKM here in the NYC area and he has already done the promos on several of the local stations. I just don't get it. The listening public settles for "garbage" in many cases with no talent performers whose music is enhanced with auto-tuning and other electronic techniques. And here is Adam Lambert, the best vocal talent in the music business today, following a gruelling schedule just to be heard. Hopefully with the release of TRESPASSING and the next single from it, the listening public will finally appreciate and understand what we as his devoted fans have known all along that he is a vocal powerhouse in a league of his own.
Any lesser person would have given up trying to establish a music career as has Adam during the last three years. Consider some of the negative comments, criticism, publicity and pictures that have just tried to break him down. And yet all of these challenges have made him fight harder because he is not afraid to express himself through his music, his friends and his fashion. The power of his voice so impresses me as does his message of love, understanding, acceptance and respect. I was a fan from day one on AI and will continue to be one supporting Adam through his musical career which will be very long and successful.
Adam's band, Adam's choice. Adam's career. His dancers and band members have the same considerations and the most talented will be in demand and can be expected to move on. NVM, as long as everyone grows, makes a living and stays in touch (if they become friends.)
No worries about new band members/friends threatening the old. Adam's has a lot of love in him.
can someone tell me how I can get this to play all the way through? It keeps pausing, I have no problem with you-tube- can't get this to play- what's embelved mean??? This ones not on you-tube? Not like I haven't heard the song before, but really want to hear this version with tommy.
@7:01 couldn't agree with you more!!! Why isn't adam geting radio play, all these crap ( I mean really crap new songs are being played constantly) I'm so frustrated right now- it's like blackball the best singer on the planet and I know I love him but what I listen to lately they are all autotuned cannot hold a note, give me a headache just aweful _ what has become of music today ???with this generation? The worse in history IMO!!!
@#glizylady- once again you say it so perfectly and I agree with you 100%. I look for your comments sometimes to straightened things out here- thankyou!

You find me unpleasant------okay
I find you ignorant
Except means to leave out or exclude, I doubt you meant that.
The word you wanted I'm sure was accept which means admit or regard as true.
A good example of proper usuage can be found in my comment at 4:44.
I don't consider myself cute, just rude on occasion, along with many others on this thread.
Make that usage, I know better but my computer doesn't.
10:28 of course you would never make a mistake it had to be your puter. Ha ha nice try though, you almost had me.
I believe that Adam knows exactly what he wants, whom he chooses as his band or as his dancers. As he has said many times, he wants to be surrounded by his loving "glamily," people & friends whom he can trust and be comfortable with. He does not need the best guitarist or drummer in the world but who can give him a headache! After all, we go to see Adam, not his band or dancers, as long as they do a good job. It makes sense to me too and, to me, Adam is definitely a very wise young man!
I have heard Kevin a few times on these videos and his guitar has always been out of tune. Adam is always on key. Tommy's guitar is in tune and he plays better. As for no personality...he is not the featured act. Also the audio people adjust the sound of everything. I do like Kevin on keyboards just great!
@ 10:28 and 11:21
Will you two juveniles take it to the playground? You are boring!
I think remember someone saying entitlement isn't sexy...oh now I remember it was ADAM...the man is a master at his craft...I'm pretty sure he is more than capable of choosing who can and will play wtih him...I for one was glad to see Tommy...really like Kevin...love Adam...and hope 2012 will a be a year to remember for all.
HEY all you Tommy naysayers. A musician is NEVER supposed to play so loud that you can't hear the singer, especially in an a capella version of a song. Secondly, a musician assists the singer in delivering his song. He is NOT the main attraction. Tommy Ratliff did exactly what was required of him here.
