Adam Lambert 24/7 News

LOL LOL LOL..........

You know you're relevant when people mention you in such popular shows. And lol clever joke :)

Looks like Adam's RS interview is catching on already.lol

very funny... because at the heart of Jay's joke is how many closeted straight men there are, and maybe he's even hinting at in the entertainment industry specifically... it's very clever, and IMHO, subtley demonstrating Adam's bravery and being out and proud since 18, and the foolishness of not being who you are

yes you guys above, so true, I hadn't thought of that; good nod about existence of RS article to begin with, and Adam's in the public consciousness: win/win :)

New-ish article from Time/Entertainment in the blogosphere:

http://entertainment.time.com/2012/05/11/adam-lambert-on-his-new-album-all-those-singing-competitions-and-filling-in-for-freddie-mercury/

Sorry if it's already been posted, haven't read through threads.

What a fun little joke! Jay really likes Adam and knows he can poke fun. Also, he let's the audience know that Adam has an article in RS. That's always a plus for any artist. Hope Adam got a kick out of it. I wish Jay would have Adam on again and sit down and TALK to him. Adam is such a great interview.

DRG

Really like that joke, goes to show everybody male/female would love to have sex with Adam, but we already knew that..( :

NKlovesAdam

MGF.. thanks for the link to the article, had not read that one yet..

I didn't like that joke at all. Openly gay, really Jay? Geez. I am sick and tired of the references to his sexuality. Can't believe you all think this is okay. HE is a man, a musician.
Geez, enough already. And Jay is a friend. Not funny.

An excellent new article from Billboard.com.. a must read!!

Adam Lambert Takes Control With 'Trespassing'

Adam Lambert Takes Control With 'Trespassing'

Dr. Luke. Bruno Mars. Pharrell Williams.

These are just a few of the hitmakers who appear in the production and songwriter credits of Adam Lambert's sophomore album, "Trespassing." But it's not the impressive roster of collaborators that makes the boldest statement in the credits. It's the forthcoming set's executive producer: Lambert himself.

Adam Lambert Live Q&A: May 14 at 3pm ET

While it is rare for an artist to executive-produce his or her own release, Lambert, the flamboyant season eight "American Idol" runner-up, insisted on having full creative control of what he admits could be the decisive album of his career, his moment to prove himself as more than a TV-fueled seasonal sensation. "That's why I've been so obsessed and neurotic about it and why I wanted to be the executive producer and co-write a lot of it," he says of "Trespassing," due May 15 on RCA Records/19 Recordings.

"This is a big make-or-break thing for me, especially for someone who comes off of 'Idol,'" he says. "I did have a hit, which was great. That was one big step. Now what? Is that going to be it? Am I a one-hit wonder? So I wanted to get really involved in the process to make sure I was doing everything I could to create a great album." He pauses. "And I think I did."

It's a drastic change from the approach taken with the singer's 2009 debut, "For Your Entertainment," which was hastily recorded during an "American Idol" summer tour in the months following his appearance on the TV show. Despite reaching No. 3 on the Billboard 200, selling 838,000 copies (according to Nielsen SoundScan) and nabbing a top 10 single on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Whataya Want From Me," the release felt rushed and was mostly a "guessing game" in terms of choosing songs that would properly portray his musical style and connect with fans, Lambert says.

This time around, Lambert, who turned 30 earlier this year, doesn't have to deal with the pressure of churning out an album quickly to capitalize on the promotional momentum of "Idol." He's spent more than a year writing new material and working closely with RCA senior VP of A&R Rani Hancock to bring on other collaborators, including Benny Blanco, Bonnie McKee, Nile Rodgers and Sam Sparro. The result is a 12-song set (the deluxe edition features three bonus tracks) of electro-dance-funk and dark emotional ballads that display a more contemporary pop sound and move away from the theatrical glam-rock and vocal showboating of Lambert's full-length debut.

"He's really made a record that's different than what he made coming off of 'Idol,'" says Dana Collins, one of six artist managers working with Lambert at Los Angeles-based Direct Management Group, which also helms the career of Katy Perry. "You get off that, you're on the treadmill and you jump into the studio and get presented with four dozen songs. You choose the ones you like, record them and tour at the same time. Then you go out and promote that record."

End Part 1
continued below:

Part 2 of Billboard article: continued from 12:14 PM above:

Lambert says the subject matter of "Trespassing" is much more personal than "For Your Entertainment." "I wanted it to reflect my social scene, not just what I knew my fans were going through," he says. "So I'm writing about my gay friends-you know, going out and getting laid. I'm in a relationship right now, so I'm exploring monogamy and a serious thing, which is really cool. But I was single before that and there's a lot of joy in that, too. So there are songs about going out and getting freaky."

Lambert also feels the new album showcases his maturity as an artist. "Going into album two, I know who I am as an artist now," he says. "The last time I felt like I had to do all this stuff to prove something. With ['Trespassing'] it's a bit more like, 'Oh, that's a dope song. That's a cool melody. That's a cool groove. That's a cool song.' Not, 'Look how high I can sing that note 30 or 40 times in one song.'"

RCA's promotional campaign for "Trespassing" includes a heavy push at mainstream and adult top 40 radio, numerous summer radio station concert bookings and a May 17 performance of Lambert's newest single, "Never Close Our Eyes" (co-written by Mars and produced by Dr. Luke), on "American Idol." To superserve Lambert's hardcore fans, known as Glamberts, the label offered preorder deluxe packages of "Trespassing" exclusively through his website, AdamOfficial.com. The most expensive of them-a limited-edition $274.99 boxed set that includes six lithographs, a deluxe version of the CD, a vinyl copy of the album and a behind-the-scenes DVD of Lambert in the studio-sold out the 100 available copies in minutes.

But even with a fan base that reaches many parts of the world, Lambert and his team say that it'll be a challenge releasing a second album without the benefit of having 20 million people seeing him on "American Idol" twice per week for three months. "I'm sure it's going to reflect in things. It's a different climb right now," Lambert says. "It's through the music that I'll have to get on people's radar. Not based on the TV show."

Direct Management Group's Martin Kirkup, whose firm began working with Lambert last summer after the singer's departure from 19 Entertainment, says the process of reintroducing the artist to the marketplace will simply revolve around getting as many eyeballs on him as possible and then allowing the music to speak for itself. That started earlier this year with performances on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," Logo's NewNowNext Awards and "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

"We feel he has good recognition because of 'American Idol,' but really when you get to your second record everything is starting off fresh. Whatever audience you brought with you from 'Idol,' whatever the perception you have-some of that remains," Kirkup says. "But basically you're now going to thrive or fail based on your own talent or skills. The most important thing we can be doing is getting people to see Adam, whether that's on TV, live or on video."

RCA VP of marketing Nick Pirovano says that Lambert is still very much in the artist development stage. "We're breaking an artist," he says. "We want him to be more than just an 'American Idol,' and that takes time."

Part 3 continued below:

Part 3 of Billboard article from above at 12:19 PM

But there's still the matter of where Lambert fits into the current musical landscape. Although he performed classic rock songs from Led Zeppelin, U2 and others during his stint on "Idol" and will front upcoming international dates with Queen, the artist mostly identifies himself as a pop act. It's been challenging finding his place in the female-dominated genre, he says.

"There's not a blueprint for me to follow," Lambert says, referencing how Justin Bieber seems to be following a path mapped by Justin Timberlake. "There are female artists I can look at that I find more in common with than the male artists, because they're blending the pop, dance and theatricality . . . but currently there aren't a lot of guys who go there."

RCA hopes to expand on Lambert's pop appeal through radio. Senior VP of promotion Adrian Moreira says the singer's strongest format is adult top 40, whose listeners tend to be females age 18-34. To build on that demographic, Lambert visited mainstream and adult top 40 stations across the country in March to meet with programmers and music directors and perform acoustically for listeners.

"With the first album you're committed so much to stuff around 'Idol' that there wasn't really an opportunity to get him into these stations," Moreira says. Additionally, Lambert will record a live performance in New York on May 15 that will later stream on more than 100 Clear Channel station websites.

The promotional campaign for "Trespassing" began in December with the release of first single "Better Than I Know Myself." Despite some national TV performances that followed the release, the single failed to garner much attention at radio, peaking at No. 18 on the Adult Top 40 chart in late April. Moreira believes the label will have more success with the uptempo "Never Close Our Eyes," which will be supported by performances on "Good Morning America" (May 14) and "American Idol" (May 17). The single goes to stations on May 28.

In lieu of immediately touring behind "Trespassing," Lambert's summer plans include eight North American radio station concerts and six overseas shows singing for Queen. Direct Management Group's Kirkup says the management team wanted to keep the artist's schedule open as press and media opportunities arise in global markets. Lambert cites the Philippines, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, the United Kingdom and parts of Scandinavia as international markets where he's had the most success. A proper tour will likely occur at the end of this year or in early 2013. The singer's last North American tour of primarily clubs and theaters in 2010 grossed $2.7 million from 30 concerts that attracted nearly 65,000 people, according to Billboard Boxscore.

Kirkup hopes that the upcoming Queen performances in Russia and Europe expose Lambert to an audience that might not discover him as immediately a pop artist. Lambert notes that there aren't any plans to perform additional concerts with Queen but says he's open to any type of collaboration with the rock band, including recording an album together like Queen + Paul Rodgers' The Cosmos Rocks in 2008.

For now, Lambert is focusing on pushing his career forward with "Trespassing." "There are people in the industry or fans who will look at that statement and say, 'But it's Queen!'" he says. "I know that, and I know it's a big honor. But the most important thing for me is to be authentic. And I'll be the most authentic doing the music I wrote."

Billboard article was 99% great. Hate the word flamboyant though.

lucky girl/girls

Okay...I just read the RS article-
Who is this WOMAN...and how is she able to keep her mouth shut!?

Why do people hate it when Adam is described in articles/media as GAY, THEATRICAL, FLAMBOYANT etc when he himself has used those words to describe himself. He has embraced all aspects of himself and does not view them negatively. That is one of the many reasons I love him because he has so many layers and is such a fascinating person.

The Billboard articles is interesting as it shows what goes into promoting the album. Direct Mngmt should blame RCA for poor choice of a first single...why not put smth like Running out?? Nway that is passed..seems NCOE is not out on radio yet till the 28th but keep requesting like crazy.

This album will either solidify Adam's position in music or not. He has the material now its just SELL, SELL, SELL. I was shocked to learn that David Cook had been dropped by RCA despite his good first album sales :( but from what I hear his second album wasn't very good.

Adam has many international fans but most importantly he has put together an AMAZING album that is surely the best pop album in recent years. I hope he can achieve great success despite being given a hard time by radio so that he can rub it in their faces. Anyway looking forward to GMA and AI...he sure has a busy few weeks ahead of him.

BUY, BUY, BUY...you can never have enough of trespassing and every unit counts. Thanks!!!!

The GOOD ADAM NEWS just keeps on coming in today!!! Look at this!!! He'll ALSO be co-hosting a segment on Good Morning America, in addition to singing "Never Close Our Eyes"!! Perfect for Adam!

Tweet by RCA just now:

‏ @RCAPromo

@AdamLambert will perform his new single "Never Close Our Eyes" and co-host the Pop News segment of @GMA on Monday from 7-9AM EST on @ABC!!

The Billboard article really shows how much strategy and attention goes into marketing a singer. RCA is doing the best possible job for Adam. The timing of releases and appearances and concerts and singles takes a lot of scrutiny and experience. Adam is an unusual commodity. He's not a teen idol type and he carries some baggage. But they seem to have great confidence in his future. His overseas fanbases are so crucial to his success as well. I really learned a lot from this article.

DRG

.....AND another article about Adam with more insight into his life today...

I think I'll just post the link: It another long article, very worth reading..but I don't want to take up all of the thread space! The title ALONE will get your attention! But I'll post a couple of excerpts...READ THE REST HERE:

"Adam Lambert Q&A: On His Surprise Sex Toy, 'Redundant' Media & 'Horrifying' Jail Time"

http://www.pridesource.com/article.html?article=53285

Q: You've spoken with gay publications and mainstream publications. How is it different talking to each?

Adam: I try not to make it any different. That's been one of my big goals, especially with this album. This time around I'm trying to just adopt a post-gay mentality about it because I'm so proud of who I am and I'm 100 percent positive about it and I celebrate it, but I also think it's a bit dated to harp on it and to lean on it and to constantly be defined by your sexuality. I think that gay men and women who live their lives as gay men and woman understand that and understand that it's just another part of who they are. Unfortunately, with some mainstream publications, it's such a novelty for them to be able to talk about it. It's such a hot-button issue that it becomes the focus of a lot of discussion.

Q: Does that bother you?

Adam: (Hesitates) It gets a bit redundant. (Laughs.) Gets a little old. It's something I've made peace with; I'm trying to just look at it from the other point of view and realize that a lot of the questions are legitimate for someone who doesn't understand. I think the way to progress and confront ignorance is information. You start talking about things and we get past them. So yeah, it gets a bit redundant, but I feel like at this point it just comes with the territory that I'm trespassing on.

Q. What does it take to be a Glambert?

Adam: Reckless abandon. (Laughs) I think that any sort of diehard fandom is a crazy, surreal mentality. That's part of the fun for the Glamberts; they've given themselves permission within that community to be kind of insane. And it's gorgeous and it's fun and it's an escape; it's not real life, it's something else. Everybody wants that in some form or another. We all have our different versions of it. For people who are diehard fans, that's their way; that's their obsession and that's their outlet.

Wow that is great news!!! I can't wait to watch it or I mean him..just so happy for him, he is doing everything that he loves to do..just want him to be happy!

Okay...more Adam-related news, but in this case its about Sauli!!

Re: Fault Magazine

How much does ordering one copy cost? I looked up their website but it's marked in foreign dollars and I don't know how to convert it. Please someone who has ordered it already, could you help me?

TXSparkler

Has anybody recieved their copy of FAULT yet? I haven't, it should be coming soon. I will have to order the copy with Sauli in it too.2:59 I can't remember any details on how I ordered my copy, I even have one from Zenio. Keep checking back it will pop up somewhere. The people on this site are so resourceful.

I bet that Fault magazine issue 11 isn't only about Sauli. It'll be about both Adam and Sauli. They might have a picture of both them on the cover. After all Adam is the mega-star and Sauli got his fame because of Adam. True he was famous only Finland. That's why they said they'll keep it a secret about the cover.

Adam is manly. masculine, and alpha male and I am a heterosexual woman who has Adamgasms all the time. Yep, gay but sexy is sexy. He isn't flamboyant. He is my fantasy and the Details shoot is still my fav. He is a man first, recording artist second. Gay jokes are getting old.

I found the joke to be clever and funny! :)

I'm kinda hoping Adam isn't in a Fault photo with Sauli. I'd love to see Sauli make it on his own.

I'm 1:25 above

I don't think Adam would want to steal Sauli's thunder anyway.

I thought the Leno "joke" was off and not funny at all, and I'm definitely not a prude. I hope Adam takes it good-naturedly. Constantly referring to him as "gay" is, to quote Adam, 'redundant'.

I'm thinking the female was Ke$ha. They seemed to have a crush on each other at one time.

Adam Lambert Discusses Gay Rights Anthem “Outlaws Of Love”

..By Lyndsey Parker | Reality Rocks – Thu, May 10, 2012 5:13 PM EDT.. .
photo: RCA RecordsAdam Lambert's sexual orientation has unfortunately been a focus of media scrutiny ever since he appeared on "American Idol" three years ago, and especially since he came out on the cover of Rolling Stone in June 2009. Until now, the otherwise outspoken Idol has opted not to directly address gay issues in his own music, but on a poignant new track off his excellent sophomore album Trespassing (out May 15), the gay rights anthem "Outlaws Of Love," he tackles some serious topics--on his own terms, and in his own voice. And in an age when the hot-button issue of same-sex marriage is hotter than ever, the song's message could not be better-timed.

In a recent exclusive interview with Yahoo! Music's Reality Rocks about Trespassing, Adam revealed: "When I wrote this song, I was directly referring to the sadness that I felt in taking in the adversity that the gay community faces on every level: marriage, bullying, acceptance of all kinds, our presence in the entertainment community and how that's still up and coming, politics, all of it...I definitely wrote it about my community."

In the chorus to "Outlaws Of Love," Adam earnestly sings: "Everywhere we go / I'm looking for the sun / Nowhere to grow old and always on the run / They say we'll rot in hell / But I don't think we will / They've branded us enough / Outlaws of love." It's possibly his boldest musical move yet, and one that will certainly have people talking--although, as he explained, the song is definitely open to interpretation.

"I think it's important, because there's been a lot of music in pop lately that's been kind of uplifting, inspirational messages saying, 'It's okay to be different, you can do it!' And I think that's really important, and I have a couple of those too--but this is a song that's like, 'F***, it sucks sometimes!' Sometimes this sucks, and it makes me sad," Adam explained. "And that's the reality of it. I think my last album was all about escapism, for the most part, and this album's more about reflecting on the human condition. So sometimes, it's sad."

Hey @4:54am...I think your right about Ke$ha being "The One"
I always thought Adam And Ke$ha would make pretty babies!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I47pD-bGuOM

Adam + Ke$ha = Glitter Babies!!!

The joke on Jay Leno Show was just "ok" to me---I guess I am really TIRED of the focus being on Adam's gayness; it has been so overdone!! Everyone knows that he is gay, why keep talking about it? I don't think it hurts him one way or the other; it is just old news!! Why can't they just ask about his music; even Chelsea Handler the other night---all she could talk about was him being gay. I love Adam and everything that he sings; yes he might be the first "openly gay pop star"--but ENOUGH already!

@3:45 p.m. May 11, 2012

Thank you for the information. I posted, got busy and just got back online now. I am from Texas, near Houston, BTW. Good assumption. Thanks again for your kindness :)

TXSparkler

Well said Mimi...Adam is treated like a joke, an oddity...no respect as an artist...all these dumbass "talking heads" want to ask him is, who's he sleeping with...I'm tired of it and I bet Adam is too!!!

Adam brings a lot of the "gay" discussion on himself. As he has said, he has no filter when he speaks, well, he needs to develop one. It is cringe time to many people when he makes such statements as "Gays don't date" Gays go to clubs to hook up and get laid" "I loved those years of my life". As a diehard fan I try to let those statements not disturb me, but Adam is not a kid anymore and should filter some of his remarks. You don't just open your mouth and let everything fall out, you think first when you are a grown up. I know most of us are ready to give him a pass on anything he says, but we shouldn't, he needs to think before he shares everything. One of the reasons he seems so youthful is because by 30 most people have developed disgression.
He hasn't. Few casual fans of his music read his interviews and I'm glad, it would turn a lot of them off. HIS MUSIC should speak for itself, we avid fans read everything we can about him and just gloss over the too much sharing parts, but Adam, please
cool it with details.

Leno's joke was pathetic. I don't believe in humor at someone else's expense.

Adam has been talking a lot about being gay and the LGBT community in the lead-up to the album being released. Not entirely his fault because the media keep asking him about it - they seem to have a never-ending fascination with it. However, IF Trespassing doesn't do well, it may be for homophobic reasons and that would be very sad indeed.

Some interviewers just say tell us about your album and he does. I agree he tells too much. Please Adam, don't sink yourself. First think__________then speak.

I just listened to full deluxe album, I got goosebumps cause I was thinking this may do it for him, so many really good songs and fantastic variety of styles and beats. Out of the 15 songs there are only 2 I don't like, that's a pretty good ratio. Kickin In and Pop That Lock don't do anything for me, seems like of the huge number of songs written 2 better ones could have been chosen IMO. But I'm sure many of you really like those two. Tastes differ. I am joyous that I love 13 of the songs, no complaints from me!

What time does Target open on Tuedays? Would a sleepover line get enough attention to make the newspapers? Nationwide, maybe, groups waiting in lines outside every store that will be selling Adam's albums. PUBLICITY!

Everything you guys are saying is so true. Adam need to decide if he wants to make to the Big Time or not!
Artist like, Bowie, Elton, MJ,
George Michael, Freddie..yes all are gay or Bi, but they ALL sang songs about Women!

Adam doesn't have to sing about being with women. The difference between Adam talking about being gay and the other gay singers NOT talking about it is, first, we're in a different time now where gay-ness is talked about openly. Second, those other gay singers weren't "out" from the very beginning of their careers like Adam was. His gayness was a big topic from Day 1, and it really defines him. Not so for the other gay singers, who came out much later. He will continue to be asked about it; he will continue to talk about it. We have to accept that. He'll be visible in the LGBT community as well. He will not walk around like a straight guy. If he seems to talk about it too much for some people, well, that's the way it will be because of his honesty from the get-go.

DRG

Adams fan base is 90% women! No one said he had to write songs about women that he has been with per-say, but when he's ready to be received by a larger fan base, he'll need to sing to the women in his life -aka- his fans!!!

Jay Leno....Pfffffft! This guy has a "thing" about making fun of gays. He may like Adam personally, but that joke was not done for anything other than to get a cheap laugh. Long before Clay Aiken ever came out, Jay was making all kinds of derogatory gay jokes about him. Adam's first appearance on Jay's show was prefaced with a gay themed skit where he was supposed to kiss somebody on Jay's staff. I thought it was demeaning. I personally think Jay has some issues himself, perhaps with latent tendencies that he can't face. I quit watching him long ago.

Interesting discussion about "who Adam is singing to and about" in songs. I guess I don't really think about that when Adam is singing.. I just love that he IS singing, first of all!! And he is really quite inclusive and non-specific in the majority of them. They could apply to anyone. In this album he sings about his experiences in his own life. I think it'll be a "cold day in Hell" when he actually sings a love song specifically about a woman (but I could be wrong..)..so how about just loving what he's giving us now with this new album. I think the majority of his fans do just that.

As for "unfiltered Adam"..well, to know him is to love him!!! He doesn't need to hide or ignore the fact that he's gay. He also said he gets a little tired of the questions and the focus on the gay aspect of himself but at the same time he realizes that it can help to educate and enlighten. Its a difficult road to tread sometimes for him. He will ultimately be known for his voice and his personality, and the gay aspect will be just one part of the whole. He has said he would prefer to live in the world of "post-gay" where gay isn't the only definition of who you are, just as "straight" doesn't define who I am."Hi, I'm @glitzylady and I'm straight..what do you want to know about that part of me?? I was born that way, by the way.." Its just one part of me. I would prefer that Adam not have to continually focus on the "gay" in some interviews, but I suppose he will for a while. as well, but we're still getting there in reality, I think. Many of us have reached that place, but as we know, so many more have not. If there are those who reject his music based solely on the fact that he is gay, then too bad for them. Sad.

I believe he already does sing to us!! And he has said so...Pretty obvious to me..especially in concert...

I just love him for who he is...and what he gives us everyday: Himself..

Anon @12:16, I totally agree with your post.

I agree with the posters who think Adam tells too much. I don't care that he's gay, but I do wish he wouldn't share everything about his relationships. I also don't want to hear about @ glitzyladys or @ DRGs or @ daydreamins or anyone elses. When he tells so much it encourages interviewers to pry so they can get a juicy tidbit.

LOL!!! Trust me, you aren't going to hear anything about my personal life...because who would even care. If you are referring to my "Hi I'm @glitzylady.." comment..it was sort of a joke and a commentary on interviewers asking Adam about being gay...used for illustrative purposes only. There are many things Adam will NOT talk about: his personal relationship with Sauli, his ex's , his friends lives, etc..He is a gentleman and I respect him for that. The thing about the experience with a woman..whatever...He had mentioned that a while back when someone asked him in a twitter party. Is it surprising?? No. Is it big news? Not really. Is it interesting? Yes. Is it important in the whole scheme of things? No. I rather think he just mentioned it to get THAT question out of the way once and for all. He didn't go into details and rightfully so, because THAT would have been too much information and betraying a trust. He answers questions if he feels they are relevant. He does refuse to answer sometimes. But Its okay if you are of the opinion that he says too much sometimes.. I think his mother Leila has said the same thing more than once!!!..But he feels honesty is important. So I respect him for that.

I'm with Leila. Some things I just don't want to know! Or want broadcast to the world.
However, I do suspect there are several "hot mamas on this thread".
