A little look at the behind the scenes of Shady in the studio using those short video clips Nile Rogers and Jean Morrrison gave us ages ago and the snippet of the track put together from iTunes samples.

OT, following message if from Rock2Music facebook page:

Since you "Glamberts" have been so amazing to us, we would love to do something little extra. We have made 5 fans happy already by giving away "Better Than I Know Myself" singles, but we still have 3 extra left ;)
We're gonna change the game a little bit and you have to show us, why YOU deserve to have one of the 3 copies ;).
Here's what you need to do;
1. Take a picture and show us in any crazy, fun, creative way why YOU deserve one of the 3 copies
2. Either tweet us your picture @_Rock2Music or send it to us via email at rock2music.info@gmail.com. If you happen to email us the picture, make sure you enclose your name and your Twitter name so we can also find you on twitter with the announcement ;)
3. Pictures can only be sent in until Sunday afternoon 5PM European Time, so 24 hours left from now on ;)

That's all you have to do. Be creative! We we will pick the 3 best ones and will be posted here on our facebook page.
Good Luck!!

One again we would like to thank all the amazing Adam Lambert "Glamberts" fans for following us and supporting us in such a way that is inpsiring. It's because of you the ball is rolling and thanks to you guys we will have the oppertunity to promote more smaller musicians and bands in the near future. Thank you so much for the exposure, you guys are amazing. Make sure you keep an eye on us because we will definitely continue supporting Adam Lambert's music and we will definitely do some more Adam Lambert give away's in the near future.
Just a little love for you amazing Glamberts, THANK YOU ♥

I agree...I LOOOOOOOOVE this song..and I did from the first listen...I have all the snippets on a CD (or 2 or 3...) and listen to them when driving..have also been playing them for friends and family...Family loves the whole CD BTW..ages 10 to 60-something...

SHADY is my new FEVER...My "get this party rockin'" song..In the car I can't sit still listening to it, which makes driving a bit hard..but I'll take that chance...and makes me dance at home..Can hardly wait for the WHOLE SONG because it drives me crazy when it just stops.....Guess I need a loop of it...

I really hope that at some point, Adam brings Nile Rogers onstage to perform SHADY with him...That would be the ultimate in awesome! Perhaps a major TV appearance performing this song (please, please, ..) ..Also hoping its a single release this summer : )) ....although good luck to Adam and his label picking the next single, since all of the album tracks are single-worthy.

SHADY is KICKASS! GOOD!

I love all the upbeat tracks on this album and can't wait to get the album. Adam Lambert's album Trespassing is one epic album. 3 more weeks, guys. Hang-in there!

Look up "radio-friendly" in the dictionary. You'll see a definition of this song and you'll hear it in your head. This song is GREAT! If it isn't radio-friendly, then I don't know what is. DJs and program directors alike need to JUST listen to this whole album and realize what gems are on it. This song is screaming for radio play. People need to HEAR it, for Pete's sake!

We also need to REQUEST lots of songs on the album, not just the official singles.

He should do this with Nile on American idol if he is going to be on the show.
This song has IT!
Also is that Niles singing a verse. This song is so badass I can not wait for the entire album.
Album of the year for sure!
Worth the wait! Thank you to our resident genius....
Adam Lambert!

If and when there is backup singing on Adam's tracks, it is Adam...always Adam.

glitzylady said...

I believe Sam Sparro is somewhere on the SHADY track....

Anonymous said...

I think that sam sparro is singing in the last part because of his australian accent which is really showing there !

Anonymous said...

that's right, this song also features Sam Sparrow singing...

Anonymous said...

Love the Sam Sparro backup. He's a cool guy. This song should be a single. (and sung on AI)

Adamluv said...

really like this song.

Anonymous said...

I can't hear Sam Sparro's Australian accent and I'm an Aussie! Singing is a universal language.

This is a GREAT song! :))))

I can be a back up for Adam !!!!!:)))

Crazy but worth it right???:))

I just wanna dance with Adam how about that???

Shhhh!! I know I need to be more careful with my hips he!he!

I really have to say I was loving adam's ballads especially underneath, and OLL. The more I listen to these snippits just wow - especially shady, broken english, love love tresspassing and of course his new single (which I've yet to hear on the radio? did hear BTIKM today however (yeah) Bottom line, this album should be epic, with every song a hit IMO. We have heard 8 out of 12- love them All- pop that lock as to grow on me. This cd is going to be fantastic and one single after another should be played and introduced like adele's did .

They are all great!!! Chokehold another one, my lord how many albums can you say you love all songs? I can only think of one and that was dark side of the moon , buy pink flyod!

My 21 year old musician,singer co worker listened to Adam's snippets(she has not been a big fan of Adam's) and instantly loved Shady, In fact she wanted me to play it over and over..he loved the snippets with a beat..was not too crazy about the slow ones...I really wanted her opinion since she does not follow Adam .the new album will be epic..have to go order a few more..

Nile is a legend! He's precious guitar becomes an extension of he's body and he pours from the heart and soul! Had the priviledge of singing'Let's Dance' with him recently and will NEVER forget that incredible experience! He is a fantastic guy!

Anonymous said...

Still can't understand the Aussie accent thing? Ha!

Anonymous said...

I can tell you one thing Australia loves Nile Rodgers. Sam we already claim! Sam was at Nile's concerts recently. In the morning, of one of the concert evening's, Nile was taken to the emergency room at the local Hospital. But even that couldn't hold this awe inspiring guy back, because he was on stage within hours delivering one bloody amazing spellbinding performance with CHIC. ADAM, NILE and SAM are an unreal off the planet 'SHADY' combination together. This is music supremeo!

Anonymous said...

Listen to Sam Sparro's new single 'Happiness'. I love it.

Anonymous said...

dayum that would be so cool Adam, Sam and Nile on AI together doing Shady, already a classic in my head.Oh well NCOE will be great too. The Jimmy Kimmel mini concert will have to be more than one song though. Back to the drawing board. Does anyone know how many songs make up a mini concert?

@7:34 am, thanks, I'm becoming a fan.

glitzylady said...

@Anon 8:15 AM
The Jimmie Kimmel Mini-Concert will probably be 4 songs. That's the typical number.

Anonymous said...

6:23 great story!! Lucky you.

Anonymous said...

SHADY is the BEST! I was hoping Adam Lambert came up with Move Like Jagger and not Levine of Maroon 5.
This is just so well as good as Move Like Jagger but of course better because it's by The Lamb!

Anonymous said...

Does anyone know if this mini concert will be part of Jimmy Kimmel's regular show?

Anonymous said...

10:58, I sometimes wish for things too. I wish Bruno Mars had put NCOE on the Breaking Dawn sound track and had given Adam "It Will Rain" instead. I would love to hear him sing that song!

Anonymous said...

I bet Nile and Adam had a fun time. Nile was the best choice for Shady. So Funky! I think it is one of the best song choices for TRESPASSING.

glitzylady said...

@Anon 11:25 AM
Typically the musical guest will sing one song on the televised show and the rest of the mini-concert will be featured on the JK website online.

Anonymous said...

Thanks, Glitzylady, for the mini-concert info. You always come thru. I usually fall asleep to Leno at that hour but I'll switch when Adam is on and check out the website.

Anonymous said...

I really love Shady,so funkalicious. I really think this whole album is unbelievably great! I think NCOE will do very well as a single and then Adam can get Shady or Trespassing,hopefully a few songs off the album as singles!

Anonymous said...

I'm kind of disappointed in the Glamberts! Adam's BTIKM video isn't even in the mix anymore! I dont think it went higher than 10. I know that most of the polls don't mean much, but this one DOES. I don't think WWFM wouldn't have gotten a Grammy nod if it hadn't been at the top of the video charts for weeks, cuz that pushes airplay also. So when the next video comes out, VOTE DARN YA!

Anonymous said...

If anyone still wants tickets to Jimmy Kimmell they just expanded again. I think for the third time, they say this usually doesn't happen but it's ADAM!

Anonymous said...

I'd love to hear Adam, Nile and Sam perform this song live!!

Anonymous said...

I just think it is TOTALLY cool that Kimmel has had to expand the ticket sales for Adam. Esp. since they usually don't have to do that. And YES, we will put the NCOE video to the top!

OT .....

ADAM, QUEEN & SIR ELTON ARE PERFORMING IN KIEV ON JUNE 3, 2012 according to a tweet I read. Let's hope it's not a rumor.

Sadly, I can't attend any of the concerts but I hope everyone attending has a MASSIVELY FANTASTIC TIME and take lots of footage/photos.

Also, if anyone's interested, Stefano from last year's Idol will perform this Thursday night (as well as Katy Perry).

Anonymous said...

They added more free tickets for Jimmy Kimmel Outdoor mini-concert with Adam. If this one sells out, it will a second outdoor concert SOLD OUT after Lady Gaga. Come on Glamberts if you don't have your free tickets get it once it becomes available.

Wait until they add more tickets. For now it says sold out:

I wis h I could go to the Jimmy Kimmel show, but I live too far away. I will be watching though.

5:39 I don't have that much faith votes count much on the vh1 top 20. Adam had plenty of votes each week. There has to be some algoritm I am not smart enough to figure out.Will vote just as much on the next mv though.

@anon 5.39pm apr 22 (see jow much quicker it would be to write a tag!)
Onfortunately its not just votes that count on VH1 (apparently), if it was adam would have reached number 1. I did my 20 votes most days and everytime I went on there people were voting for Adam. Unfortunately it also takes into account radio spins and sales, and Adam is not yet up there with the big guns, so to get 4 weeks on the countdown was pretty good with so much stacked against us.
WWFM and IIHY were on the countdown for many weeks and reached number 1, but that was when there was unlimited voting.

glitzylady said...

@HK fan
Well, that's a little depressing to know..but explains a lot...

HK fan said...

@glitzylady
I don't know the fact for certain, but I have read it in a couple of other places, and it certainly makes sense.

tess4ADAM said...

@HK fan ... Thanx for that info ... I VOTED my A$$ off on the VH1 poll ... 20 VOTES at a time ... several times a day & it didn't seem to do any good in spite of it ... NOW I don't feel so bad ... wish I could have helped to keep it on a little longer ... Here's a brighter note ... I heard ADAM's BTIKM on our Music Choice Pop Hits TV channel the other day ... so SOMEbody is paying attention to the VOTES!! I am now engaged in the Ryan Seacrest AT 40 Voting battle & ADAM is doing quite well ... so if you get a chance .. PLEASE VOTE as much as you can here ...

http://www.at40.com/pages/who-will-be-number-1

Not sure but I think this is for radio spins so VOTE!! okay fellow Glamberts?? ..~~~thanx~~~
