"Another Giant Tour Next Year"!!!!!!!!!!! SO-O-O happy to hear that! Whee!

Patria said...

This is awesome news.

In the meantime, I have a new strategy for Adam. Take all the music you say you have for 3 albums and put out 3 albums all at once. now
I would be deliriously happy hugging 3 new albums.

Nanbert said...

Patria....I completely agree with you... my thoughts, too.

But, on the other hand, an album usually is followed by a tour to "imprint", and "promote" it....and Adam probably would prefer us savoring each album separately, each song separately, and each tour separately.

Dumping it all out at once will probably see a lot of good songs being overlooked, don't you think? I know on each of his albums there were songs that I preferred to others. Some I pretty much ignored at first..until I saw Adam perform them in person (video) And suddenly they became MUCH more important and loved by me. I doubt I am alone in that experience.

It must be very satisfying to Adam to have a backlog of music ready to release....without the financial pressure to do so. Then he has the luxury of picking the "right" time to release an album.

Right now, Adam is getting a lot of exposure (Wicked and Elvis shows, Playmobil movie, X Factor guest judging, the just completed, and enormously successful, QAL Vegas residency, and, of course, the QAL tours)...all of which will help kick his Album sales up when released. Let's hope they are fantastically successful!

But, like you, I would be happy to "gorge" myself on three Adam albums!...even though it is probably not practical for Adam to release them all at once. I'm hopelessly Glambert!

Dee R Gee said...

I know some fans are having "QAL fatigue." But I am happy that they will tour again next year. Something tells me that they may try to hit some of the venues/countries that they have missed before. Brian says "GIANT," but we'll see.

I know we all want new music from Adam. There may be issues behind the scenes that we know nothing about that are making it take so long. Seems like he has plenty of music. Rumors fly sometimes about label changes, etc. But we don't know. Perfect scenario is that A4 gets released and is successful enough for Adam to do a solo tour next year. I would think that whenever QAL tours, he will still have time to fit in a solo tour. I think Brian and Roger respect that, too.

Just read that Adam will be part of an AFTRA/SAG show of some kind on Nov. 8. Not a televised thing, but I'll bet we'll get some videos somehow.

Dee R Gee said...

And yes, Adam is having a very productive fall and winter with everything he is involved in! XF UK, Wicked Halloween, Elvis, Playmobil. No complaints from me!

Dee R Gee said...

It's the AFTRA/SAG Awards that I mentioned above. Not televised that I know of.

And I think the QAL tour next year is a good thing to do on the heels of the BoRap movie coming out. I predict that the movie will do well regardless of the reviews. From what I've heard, the early reviews have been somewhat mixed, but Rami Maleck has been getting very good reviews. There could be a whole new bunch of movie goers who might then want to be QAL live on stage.

Patria said...

Putting out 3 albums will never happen. A pipe dream, yes, but also a 'think outside the box' way of putting out new music. I think all of the arts are suffering because politics has overshadowed most everything.

You're question about lot of good songs being overlooked? It is already a thing. Continuing on my fantasy, put out 3 albums, capture promotion time where ever it can be gotten between working with Queen. Take the short residency at casinos. Maybe name the albums so that after Queen is gone (and me too) he could resurrect them like "News of The World", or decide which are his favorite songs and promote a tour featuring them. Times are changing, doesn't hurt to explore new ideas.

That all said I'm very happy for Adam and Queen's success. God knows full well I have been worrying about Adams next meal since before QAL.

LAMBERT Outlaw said...

Putting out three albums would be wonderful for the fans but promoting three albums at once in addition to all the other projects ADAM is involved in or will be in the near future would be exhausting for ADAM as he has said numerous times that he would like to do a solo tour once his album is released. So coupled with an upcoming Giant QAL tour .. I think that vocally as well as travel-wise it would be too difficult to promote three albums all at once!! Also promoting one album is pretty dicey nowadays much less three at once wouldn't do justice to all the songs being presented to the public!!

Maybe if ADAM were to release all three albums but at reasonable intervals .. then perhaps he could handle that a little more easily ... not being a manager but only a bystander as to the logistics of the music industry ... I wouldn't even begin to figure out a game plan for such a large undertaking!! JMO

Sue Smith said...

Adam has a bunch of songs not for three albums but plenty to choose from to make one very wonderful album.I believe from what he said before takes a lot to get one album especially the amazing one he wants. The creme of the crop.He said he now is narrowing it all down to the best. Takes much writing for twelve songs and several bonus songs. He has many songs but probably putting the best of them on the album. He said several times a lot of music business also goes in to it all.Adam said that part the fans should not have to worry with sure timing is real important among other things.

It definitely hard to be patient for mr as well. We will get the album and single maybe not as fast as we like but we will get it.Queen will help him promote the music at least singles. I love QAL and sure that will help sale the music along with his own promoting. But really I am also badly wanting his own music and concerts like the rest of you do.

He has a lot more good stuff on the horizon TV, movies ect.to look forward to.saw him on Xfactor last night he looked sensarional.

Sue Smith said...

sensational was what I meant to say.

Nanbert said...

Oh well, better to have too much to handle, rather than too little! Adam seems to like being busy...and probably likes to FORSEE being busy as well....so it's all good for him. And what's good for him will be good for us, too, IMO.

Also, we can hope for more Adam music being incorporated into the QAL concerts. I thought that "Lucy" was perfect in the program! And every city that sees Adam performing with Queen is a city already eager for Adam's OWN tour.

Dee R Gee said...

No way would a record label promote three albums at once. Promo is expensive. Putting out music is expensive. Adam and his team just need to pick out of the best of the songs he has and get them out there. He knows he needs to get out there with his own music and get it promoted. We all want a solo tour next year tucked in somewhere around the QAL tour which we have no info about yet. It's hard to be patient!

Unknown said...

I'm worried that QAL tour will be more important than his own tour. It's all about money right now.

Dee R Gee said...

I think Adam's solo career will survive these years with Queen. It's job that most singers would die to have. It's brought him fame and fortune beyond all expectations. But it won't last forever. He'll have a career when QAL is long over. It may be different. He may go in other directions. But he is just too damn talented to fade away. I think he is still very focused on his solo work. Yes, QAL takes a lot of time away from his solo stuff. But I think it has paid off for him in many ways. I think his Queen cred might have helped him get the projects he's involved in right now. Artists always looks for ways to boost their visibility. I want A4 as much as anybody!

LAMBERT Outlaw said...

Hope ADAM's future is still in the music vein but a lot of stars are turning towards acting or other avenues of entertainment!! I myself would love to see ADAM on a weekly variety show like they had in the past starring **ADAM LAMBERT** with other guest stars on his show .. then I can cross that off my bucket list!!

Whatever ADAM wants .. I hope he gets it & it too is a big success for him!!

Sunflower said...

Hallelujah!!! More exciting news fills the air!!! What a treat for all of us!!! I don't know what else to say!!! Lol

Nanbert said...

Regarding Adam's involvement in the AFTRA/SAG Awards on November 8th....he will be one of the artists performing!...as follows

The SAG-AFTRA Foundation announced their roster of presenters and performers for the 3rd annual Patron of the Artists Awards. Presenters for the evening will include Barry star Henry Winkler, BlacKkKlansman duo John David Washington & Adam Driver, This Is Us actress Chrissy Metz, and Geoffrey Owens, star of the upcoming thriller Fatale. The benefit will also include musical performances by Arlissa, Adam Lambert, and Leona Lewis. The event will take place on November 8 at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills.

Nice! Another feather in Adam's cap!

Mi Re La said...

Very good news. Yes! Yes! Yes! Maybe this time they will come to my country.
Adam is made for the scene. It's where he feels the best.So the more he performs will be better for him.... and for us.In the year when he released "The original high" he also had many concerts with Queen. The following year after being in his solo tour he had also many concerts with Queen.So he often proved that he could very well combine his solo career with his collaboration with Queen.I feel the next year will be a very good one for Adam. It will appear everywhere: on the radio with the new album, in concerts with Queen, in the cinema halls with the Playmobil movie, will give interviews, and who knows what else.We fans can only be glad that we can see Adam so much.

Sue Smith said...

UnKnown that's your opinion that it is all about money right now. Brian and Rodger or millionaires many times over and Adam not starving to death any time soon. Brian and Rodger have said it's not the money they just love performing especially with Adam and especially at the top of their as they are doing now.

Adam is in his thirties and already wealthy. He lives in California and lived in California in a lovely house and he willing to work hard for things he enjoys and lucky to have the talent to do multiple things not a one trick pony he multi talented and he not afraid to take on challenges of different opportunities. One successful thing he does well as he done with Queen has lead to many more opportunities and I'm crazy proud of him. There is nothing wrong with working for money either he making a living.

Mi Re La said...

I think our boy is on the wave.

Dee R Gee said...

The busier the better!

Nanbert said...

Well, there's nothing wrong with making money...that's why we all work! Adam is just making a lot more than most people... good for him! That makes it possible for him to pursue his career in a any direction he desires....and the more exposure he gets, the more opportunities he gets. All good.

Don't forget, Brian, Roger and Adam are, first and foremost, PERFORMERS. They love the accolades and adoration they receive from the huge crowds they entertain...who wouldn't?
How nice that they can indulge their fondest dreams by the sheer power of their talents!
And why stop when you are at the top of your game?

QAL is a juggernaught... unequalled in talent, hits and production ability. Money is no longer the object!...not at this point in all their careers. It's just a nice side effect... and makes it possible for them all to pursue what they love! IMO

Patria said...

@Nanbert
Hear! Hear! What a relief to get to the point where money is no longer the driving force and a person can finally do what they love and love what they do.

Nanbert said...

Right, Patria.....we should all be so lucky!

Sue Smith said...

They certainly are at the top of their game. What a delight they are to behold. Sheer talent in all its forms. Yes being secure financially has made in possible for Adam not to be pressured into making just another album.I believe he is making the album of his dreams at least a very good one.
No one hands you anything at least most people.Adam has worked many years many early ones quite lean but he never gave up and good things are coming and he deserves every single one of them and much more.Adam has worked very hard and deserves all the goodies that come with his continuing success. I really liked much of his music but he grown up and his music growing with him. Let's face it Adam could sing the phone book and I would play it over and over.

Sue Smith said...

Adam does make much more money than many people but it the same principle you work and you get paid.just because it's more than many people it's really not any different. Adam is just blessed to have great talent and be compensated well for it,good for him.

Unknown said...

What about his personal life? Less time for potential boyfriend

Shelagh said...

Unknown I think he's happy with things the way they are right now, bit surprised by another huge worldwide tour next year to be honest !! however, I'm hoping his new album will either come out before the start of the tour, or ( as I was hoping this year) after the 2019 tour, so that he is fresh ( for the odd few people around the world who STILL don't know who he is !)
He probably won't have time for a permanent boyfriend, but we all know he likes to mingle with younger guys, and as he's single as he keeps saying, no doubt that's just what he'll do around the world LOL, I'm not sure if after the next tour, they'll continue these huge demanding tours, but as Brian said on UK TV the other morning, as long as they can do it they will, where that leaves Adam in his solo career I've no idea, hope he doesn't put it on hold indefinitely, I don't want him just to be known as the "guest"frontman for Queen, even though he's making loads of $'s, he's hugely talented as a solo performer.

Sue Smith said...

He seems to like foreign guys so he will have more opportunities to find that person.thats not to say he won't find someone at home or some where in America. But he attracted a lot to handsome foreign men.when that happens I hope he keeps it as much as possible as long as possible to himself.because it is not any of our business for certain few people to make remarks that are hurtful like has happened in the past. He deserves the best and he the only one who will know eventually who that person is not our job to interfere with that at all. It is Adam life I want him to be happy and it's not my business.He also has said he happiest when he onstage when one is not looking that is usually when the love bug bites.

Sue Smith said...

Adam will never stop tending to his own solo career. He will get that album and single out as soon as the timing is right. He been working on that album very hard to put out a great album it's not quite finished but it will be. Taking longer because of Queen but that enabled him financially to take his time and make an amazing album not rush it. He got a a lot of good things pertaining to his solo career coming out this year and next and more to come. Think his solo career is coming along fine he has never abandoned that and never will. Queen has only helped enlarge his fandom and help his own career as well as the Queen career. How many times does Brian and Rodger need tell people it does not matter what it's called they are a band. Adam not a guess frontman at all as long as they are able to perform Adam will be the frontman. They have stated over and over they will not work with anyone but Adam with the Queen band. He did the original high tour and Queen tour all in one year. Probably break this one up more because of his doggie. It be awhile before he would go on tour for his album its not out yet but like I said it coming as well. Adam doing so well not worried a bit.
The Queen touring has helped Adam's career a ton. Many realizing what a fantastic talented guy he is that may not have known that before.







Shelagh said...

Sue Smith, sorry but he is a guest frontman, , an incredibly fabulous one BUT there was and only every will be one frontman of Queen , Freddie Mercury, and before you start on me, those were Adam's actual words not mine, and yes his personal life is his own business, but sometimes celebrities put things on social media that perhaps should be kept very private, from my point of view it,'s not "hate" but his fans' opinions which, if he chooses to share 'dodgy pics, he can expect "dodgy " comments end of ! Not all goody two shoes comments ,that he can do no wrong, he can he's a human being ,we all do ! You must have been looking to his private life as well though to know that he fancies foreign men , just a different word from me saying he likes younger men, anyway, I hope he goes from strength to strength after QAL finally finish touring, btw Adam is incredible touring solo as well as with Queen, not sure how many times you've travelled to see them or him Sue, but I've travelled all over to see QAL, and Adam's solo tour, so I am a huge fan, I just won't agree with everything he does (, and obviously you know on here, I get negative feedback, especially from one certain person), however that is totally fine by me, as everyone is entitled to their opinions, and I will keep giving mine

Nanbert said...

Adam is THE FRONTMAN FOR QUEEN now....6 years of extraordinarily successful touring confirms that. Even Brian recently said that they are even more successful now than they were in the old days. Both Brian and Roger have said that without Adam they would not be touring....and that they would tour with NO one else...ever.

Without Adam, Queen would be in mothballs. Adam is a FULL partner in their current success. We may never know whether there has been any discussion or consideration of Adam actually being officially made a member of Queen....but I suspect that he prefers keeping his separate identity in their title "Queen and Adam Lambert" in deference to his completely separate career and music....and it also confers more of a "partnership" status and gravitas to him.

Unknown said...

Do you think he's not single?

Nanbert said...

A thought....fortunately, THIS Adam Lambert fan site evidently choses not to display the sort of "dodgy" photos mentioned above that arouses the negativity of some commenters here. Thankfully, this has always been a very "positive" fan site.

Bringing the negativity here from OTHER web sites seems quite out of place, IMO.

Following the "Golden Rule", we should not judge Adam's character, private life, friends or lifestyle from random "dodgy" photos and negative comments...which we KNOW NOTHING ABOUT....and have no right to.









Shelagh said...

And Nanbert that goes for you too !! in the past you have been very hypocritical and you know it, also had Freddie lived, you don't know if they wouldn't have been doing huge tours, The Rolling Stones do, Whitesnake, AC/DC, Def Lepperd, etc etc who are either a lot older or around the same age as Brian & Roger, so quite disgusting to say without Adam, Queen would have been in mothballs, a totally disrespectful thing to say and I'm sure Adam would be mortified if he read YOUR comment on that !! but you're never wrong are you ?? and for you information,"dodgy " pics or should I say ones that he should keep private, have been out on here, as most of the pics are from Instagram or wherever, so again, a bit hypocritical, but you always have to pick at whatever I put on here, looks like you've 'recruited' some little followers to do the same ! Kind regards, and please don't start spouting all your condescending remarks again

Shelagh said...

Nanbert A thought ..... have you considered the fact that had Roger and Brian not been on the American Idol final, it could well have been Adam in mothballs, yet you choose to disrespect them both !! Nanbert t very nice IMO

Sue Smith said...

Thank you Nanbert you are the voice of reason especially with Shelagh. Shelagh I know what kind of a fan you are I've heard your disgusting comments on Instagram about Adam you used anothnger name it was so obvious it was you, going on and on about people treating him like a God, saying he looked stone and plastic and going on and on people were calling you down for it left and right and even getting your comments deleted.im not talking a out any muppets stuff where there were a few negative comments.im talking about the time Adam dared to have a friend from abroad,and they went to that festival and had that boat ride.my goodness you just said awful stuff if he does not go out or have a friend you don't agree with you go off and off on Adam I seen it over and over again on here and Instagram.it was so obvious it was you because you said similar things on here but got much meaner on Instagram.
You thought there was no one from 24/7 on instagram I confronted you when you said to Adam on his instagram and I quote how does it feel what you did to Sam Smith don't accidentally do it to Brian and Adam, I told you I was from 24/7 And like magic comments started disappearing. Don't try to say it was not you it was so obvious it was by all the similar stuff you said on this site and to Nanbert.I don't care how many shows you went to lady you are no fan
That a nice man like Adam deserves. Nanbert said to you with fans like you he needs no enemies true words never said.
I don't go on Instagram any more just not with getting upset when someone like you comes on it. Most people on Adam's Instagram or loving and sweet you didn't like that. As far as dodgy pictures are concerned that in the eye of who's looking at them, I have not seen any I felt that way about.
Now I am finished with you I was never going to say any of this but since you came at me I had to let it out, I've carried this hurt of the things you said about Adam around with me and after you came at me like that it all came out. What I've said on here is just an example of the mean things you said on Instagram and Adam's Instagram and on this site as well you get negative feed back because you deserve it.

I made plenty mistakes I was so angry I made a mistake when I said this comment she said Hoe does it feel what you did to Sam Smith don't accidentally do that to Brian and Rodger I accidentally said Brian and Adam that's incorrect.
Nanbert is what I call a fan she stand up to your nonsense and for Adam.
I've said all I'm ever going to say to you except for this you can't say nice things one minute and horrible thing on here and other sites the next. I made another mistake about the Sam Thing it was how does it feel not hoe does it feel. Yes I have gone to Adam's
CONCERTS when my health allowed me to that is not the only measure of a fan, having his back backing his career and music is just as important. You can say what you want to me I don't care anymore I've said how I feel I am not going back and forth with you. Adam is a good fellow is private life is no ones business. Oh and again he is not a guess of Queen he is the frontman don't care who disagrees with me on that. Adam probably does prefer it like it is because he very in to his own career as well. I don't want to talk to you on this site you may have fooled some by your good comments once in a while they just don't know all the mean things you said about Adam on other sites but you said them on here also just not as bad.
Nanbert is a true fan she has Adam's back and stands up to for him when needed, God bless her for that. I hate to bring anything about Instagram on here but I just could not stand her two face stuff anymore but she also said things on here I could not believe about Adam.
I said what was hurting me now I don't want argue with you anymore say what you want I stated the truth. Delete this if you want but I stated the truth.















Sue Smith said...

Queen has helped Adam so much and Adam has done the Same for them. Think we all know that, what I wrote above may be a rant but it was a truthful rant. A long truthful rant.

Sue Smith said...

Oh and Nanbert you are the least hypocritical person, you are definitely not that, you are honest as can be.

Nanbert said...

Thank you, Sue, kind of you to say. I'm sorry you got so upset, but I understand, because I feel the same way about negative, snide...COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY gossip....it's just plain mean spirited!

Unknown said...

How's his solo tour? I saw him only with queen

Sue Smith said...

Most people on Adam's Instagram are sweet loving people that just adore him there are always those few in any site at least most of those nasty ones don't claim to be big fans at least. How on earth she could call you hypocritical with a straight face or typing finger. She obviously does not know the true meaning of that word because that is exactly what she is not you. She just could not stand the love Adam got on Instagram by most on there because that is not what she wants to hear.

Shelagh said...

SueSmith how dare you say I use different names and cause trouble for the sake of it on IG have you hesrd of yhd word SLANDER ???? I use my name here and on instagram, lots of FANS think likewise !!!! I actually wonder if you are Nanbert using another name ‘Sue’ on here,
I think you need to get help if you’re letting things get to you that much! This is a blog site for people to put their opinions on, but here we are with you and the other person trying to bully everyone into your way of thinking, it work with me lady do don’t even try

Nanbert said...

Unknown...Adam's solo tour was really superb! Surprised you never looked it up on youtube.

Here's just a taste...from the "The Original High" Tour... from the last section..."The Light", "The Original High" and "never Close Our Eyes". Enjoy!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57m_Jx-nQzc

Sue Smith said...

Nonsense Shelagh it was you it you have a twin that say exact sam things on this site and then on there except nastier. I'm not slandering you I'm telling the truth. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE NAME SHELAGH ON INSTAGRAM. If it's not you,you have a twin mimic of you. My real name is on here. It is my married name real one. So please stop bullying me.
Most people on this site are lovely nice people that not you lady. I suppose you did not call him a pornstar and other things on here because you didn't like a picture deny that one.
I slandered no one I called it as I saw and heard it. Lady your the big bully constantly making snide remarks at Nanbert.

Sue Smith said...

Unknown if I was unfair to you I apologize.i hope you get to enjoy Adam in every way.

Nanbert said...

Unknown...Correction..ALL THREE of Adam's tours were superb... "For Your Entertainment" Tour, "Trespassing" Tour and "The Original High" Tour...all based on the albums with the same names...all available on Youtube, just like QAL's videos are....usually song by song.

I originally didn't realize that you've only seen him with Queen....he's not a "one-band pony", as you will see.

I assume you have his albums. Just look up the name of a song you like and find a video or more of it from that tour on Youtube.

Unknown said...

Cool

Unknown said...

I have heard about him before but I didn't pay attention. I'm glambert since may/June this year so
I have a lot to catch up:/

glitzylady said...

Hi everyone! @glitzylady here.. Putting on my "official" "Admin helper" cap for just a moment :)))

It's really encouraging to see so many comments on the blog. Longest thread we've seen in awhile... WOW! So much Adam news of late, and so exciting for us fans, and honestly, for Adam too, no doubt.. Every day, something new to post here and to celebrate with other fans, and again, vicariously with the fabulous & lovely man himself, Adam Lambert.

But now, just a few thoughts about choosing our words with a little bit of care here. (Sorry, gotta say it, so here goes..).

Many of us have been fans of Adam Lambert all the way back to American Idol (for instance, moi... became a fan the first moment I saw him perform on Michael Jackson Week when he sang "Black Or White" O.M.G!!! My life has not been the same since, in a good way!), and some have been commenting here on Adam Lambert 24/7 News for almost that long. There are many fans who come here just to get the latest news, others to comment and sometimes chat with each other. I know that we all appreciate the hard work that went into creating this blog, by the original blog owner/administrator aka "Admin", who is now still active but behind the scenes, with 3 "Admin helpers" keeping the day to day operation of the blog going, @AdminFan being the biggest contributor, but with a little help from myself & @Broddybounce too. We're all in this together, being fans and adoring Adam Lambert, for his voice, his heart, his talent in other areas as well, aka acting, and more..

Here's the thing: Differing opinions are great, as we all have our own thoughts, our own reasons for being here, and certainly the ONE main reason we can all agree on: We all love and support and respect Adam Lambert. We may not agree with each other in certain areas, we may not even agree with Adam 100% of the time, but all in all, we're here for him.

Sooooo...Please be considerate of others here. Adam has been known to gently chastise fans personally at concerts and online when things have become a little crazy at times over the years. (We'll always remember the time he stopped his concert, and chastised 2 ladies who were having a loud disagreement in the audience: he had them hug and make up). He's a gentle caring soul and presents himself well in his professional life, as well as his private life (and indeed it IS his private life when not in an "official" capacity). We can discuss many things here, feel free to do so, it makes it fun and interesting, that's what people do on fan blogs, but PLEASE try to keep it respectful and kind, just as Adam does his best to do.

And don't make me go get Adam... :))))))) Just kidding, because yeah, pretty sure he doesn't hang out here on the blog, but you just never know.....

Peace

Sue Smith said...

Glitzy I try to like and get along with just about every one. I didn't comment for a long time do to sniping from a couple of people on here and uncalled for remarks from one in particular ON HERE. But when I went on Instagram it made me sick it was similar. Comments but they got worse. I'm really sensitive about Adam you know how much I care about him.
But I am a grown woman and over it if any thing else is said to me I will ignore it that's super hard for me but I will. I've always thought a lot of you and crazy about Adam. Bless him he had to listen to take a lot over the years and responded a few times to it.
I think he over ever worrying about internet mess so I will follow that lead. I'll try to be the bigger one when mess on here upsets me. But unfortunately there are one are 2 that need to pull away from things they say and be kinder on this site. I'm over it I'm going to ignore all the nasty remarks. My health is not improved much it not worth it to me. I got it off my chest and I am over it. So I'm not your problem at least I'm not anyway.made couple mistakes earlier never get use to typing on this phone it's so different. Just a note like I said before most people on Adam's Instagram say sweet things, but there is always that bad apple in every bunch and most people on this site are nice people.
HAve a good day.

Glitzylady....good advice to ALL. Sorry! I, for one, will make every effort to "keep the peace". I find altercations like the above exceptionally stressful, and have avoided them as much as possible.

It's only fairly recently that snide and snarky remarks about Adam's private life have been turning up here...and it makes me become very protective of Adam. There has been too much of that negativity heaped on him during his career. I feel sure that online "trashing" and busy trolls have slowed down Adam's COMPLETE acceptance by now by the American audience...too many people believe whatever they read...or have any bad impressions they've had of him reinforced by cruel remarks, innuendos and comments on the internet.

Adam Lambert 24/7 is notable because of its POSITIVE attitude. It is enjoyed by those of us who feel that Adam is the finest male singer/performer of this generation...and we are all concerned with supporting his CAREER and keeping current with all his endeavors...and enjoying the news, videos, discussions and camaraderie among like-minded people. While we want him to have success and a fulfilled and happy life, and enjoy the parts he shares with us...we usually accord him the personal privacy we would like for ourselves...neither JUDGING his character, lifestyle or his friends... many of the closest ones we embrace as ours, too.

That said, Glitzylady, I will endeavor to "bite my tongue" if the situation arises again...hopefully not... and I apologize for my part in the problem that caused you to chastize us. Hopefully, your admonition will avoid the situation from arising again. You are absolutely correct!

Nanbert said...

Unknown....Oh My! You are a NEW Glambert....so happy for you/us/Adam! Then you need to start off where most all of us found him ... 10 years ago...on American Idol...and our lives have never been the same. Here's a video of his unique performances then....ENJOY! I love initiating new Glamberts!

Unknown said...

Thank you😀

Nanbert said...

Unknown....You're most welcome. Here's one more "background" song that I believe every Glambert needs to hear (many times...for me). It's a 22 year old Adam Lambert singing "Come to me, Bend To Me" in a stage production of Brigadoon....exquisite... unbelievable breath control...perfect vibrato and pitch, No video, but photos of Adam at 22 shown while the audio plays.

Note: there is NO auto-tune here, but a live recording of a live performance....at 22!!!!

And just think, his voice has matured to an even fuller and richer sound now! What control!

@Sue Smith
I think Adam (actually I KNOW!!!) has inspired a certain amount of "passion" in us fans from the very beginning, and still does! We all have our moments of feeling a little protective of him from time to time. A little (or a lot) frustrated even on occasion. I know I felt that way early on in his post-, Idol career when he was still adjusting to fame and was still finding his way through the maze of being an out and proud celebrity, in the extremely competitive music business and at show biz at large. He's almost always honest to a fault (a trait I admire), and it took him awhile to figure out what to share publicly etc....

And then of course the association with Queen that took some time to win over the fans.. So many previously skeptical fans now accept him, a few never will and that's okay.. I stopped worrying about that a tour or two age. He also understands that and certainly enjoys the thrill and honor of fronting Queen. I was so excited to be able to finally experience Queen music live and with 2 of the original band.. Without Adam, it would never have happened..

I've also been to a number of his own tour concerts with all 3 of his albums over the years, have traveled a bit to see him, have met some wonderful new friends, some here and others along the way..So many absolutely lovely people. I have nothing but praise and respect for Adam as an artist and for the truly good guy that he is.

I love a good discussion about Adam, but I don't feel particularly inclined to let it get too heated. I think it's important to listen to what another fan says, as they have their own perspective. We may actually see their point of view. And if not, no big deal. I may not agree, but it's their opinion.

I pretty much have given up trying to change people's minds about Adam. Doesn't really help and there are true trolls out there just waiting to create an argument..because they know they can engage fans and have some fun (in their minds..). We haven't had anyone doing that here on the blog for quite awhile, still don't.I truly believe we're all here to talk "Adam", because some fans have no other place to go to be excited about what he's doing, his new gigs, new appearances, i.e. TV, and eventually, his new music. We had problems with a particularly ugly troll here a few years ago, which precipitated the blog owner's decision to institute (reluctantly) a sign in.

Thanks for your comments, and thank you to everyone else here.. ❤️

Unknown said...

Thx, it's beyond beautiful

Nanbert said...

Unknown....Yes, it is, isn't it?

One more that's a must for "beginning Glamberts", IMO, is Adam singing "My Conviction" when he was touring in 2003 (15 years ago) with the European Tour production of "Hair"... playing the part of anthropologist Margaret Mead (in drag).

The agility and range of his young voice here is astounding....but most especially he is absolutely HILARIOUS in these vocals.....I would have loved to see this, as would all other Glamberts, but evidently, there is no video. This should cause you to gasp at the intricacy....but then to laugh at the ludicracy......

Nanbert said...

Unknown....don't worry, I won't keep you captive with any more Adam lessons....those were just some "basic background" in recognizing his early brilliance....since you said you "had a lot to catch up".

Sue Smith said...

Glitzylady I agree with what you said to me. By not commenting I have been on the outside looking in and there have been some unkind uncalled for comments by one person in particular, mostly when Adam dares to have a friend or boy friend come in that this person did not approve of or goes out just enjoying himself. But that person got much worse on Instagram.i know your a busy lady but please keep an eye out for that.
These kind of comments have nothing to do with an opinion. Things like that build up and leads to feelings that came out here. Yes put there on the internet there are ridiculous comments about Adam most have an agenda like the Mark M fans and so called old Queen fans of which mostly or just trolls.
That stuff does not get to me like people who say they love him to bits one time and trash him to bits another.
Yes believe me I know the nasty troll situation that was on this site before the sign in I had much crap thrown at me because I was always there for Adam. One of the reasons I left didn't come back even after they were gone. Things are much better on her now ut like I said one bad apple spoils things for others. Adam's Instagram is mostly made up of people who really love him and the very same on this site but hurtful comments made just to demean someone in my opinion in not an opinion. With that all said like I said I'm over it as much as I can be. I know like I said I believe all people who run this site are busy but please try and keep an eye out for uncalled for comments that lead to a bit of a blow up like on here. I think it will be better now some of these comments were made a while back. Everyone always talking about we all have opinions I had one about Adam being the frontman for Queen and then comes a hateful long lecture from this same person. Like I said I'm over it now I hope things will be better now. As a person on the outside looking in they have not been so great I do not get that upset for no reason it just built up over time. I hope all will get back to normal as long as EVERY one is more respectful that the key in my opinion. I will try and just ignore the things that upset me and others will my part I hope everyone dies the same. As usual made mistakes. Please just call me Sue you always have.








Sue Smith said...

That was I hope every one does the same not dies the same a mistake among others ones. The auto correct on this phone is impossible.




Sue Smith said...

Glitzylady I think your a really nice lady I wish there were more like you in this world. So I hope I did not offend you just explaining how I feel.🐝

Rosemary White said...

Thanks for your positive comments, glitzylady. I know a Glambert who has been a devoted fan of Adam since he first sang on Idol, and she used to post here but doesn't any longer because of hypercritical and acerbic comments made by one poster, and it only takes one person to make the atmosphere uncomfortable. Everyone is entitled to their opinion whether it agrees with others' opinions or not, without fear of being howled down.

glitzylady said...

Great feedback! Everyone should feel welcome here. Every opinion should be considered. We've had some difficult discussions here in the past years. And many wonderful ones. But again, most of all, let's enjoy Adam. I personally have massive respect for him. I don't travel in his circles, and that's fine. I don't know him personally. But I still feel I "know" him just a tiny bit just by observing his life, his actions, the things he holds most dear. I've even had the honor of meeting him (as has my husband who is also a big fan of Adam's). Adam Lambert is a sweet, gentle man (sometimes hilarious and goofy too!) and I wish the very best for him, that he is happy and content in his many endeavors, that he is safe in his journeys. And perhaps eventually finds the love of his life. I am eternally grateful for American Idol for giving him that opportunity to show us his incredible talent, and for Dr. Brian May & Roger Taylor of Queen for believing in Adam. And yeah, looking forward to his next album!

glitzylady said...

@Sue (responding to your last comment to me 😊). No offense taken. Hugs 🤗

Nanbert said...

Glitzylady...I'd like to briefly address the concept of "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion" here, if I may.

There is an important difference between stating an opinion and defaming someone. A lot of damage has been done to people's personal and/or professional reputations under the
mantra of "one's entitlement to an opinion"! But there are laws against such defamation.

Being "entitled to an opinion" does not give one carte blanche to say something that can cause a person to be held in contempt or lowered in the estimation of a community, or damage their reputation and career. The words malign, taint, denigrate, smear, "diss",and imply, are a few words that come to mind. Innuendos, suggestions and speculation are included.

Adam has had more than his share of hate and bad-mouthing during his career. Many people will say the meanest things anonymously that they would never say in public. In fact, many seem to make it their life's work! Adam deserves so much better! This site has been a Mecca from that negativism.

What I'd like to suggest is that maybe some "ground rules" stating that negative "opinions" relating to the CHARACTER, LIFESTYLE and REPUTATION of Adam and his friends be "left at the door" might help resolve some of the problems that have cropped up recently.

Unfortunately, some people have difficulty telling the difference between Adam's character and Adam's hairstyle...or his home security system.

Just a thought. Sorry if I'm out of line. Trying to figure out how to keep the peace.

I feel very strongly about this because I've seen first hand how much damage can be done to people by anonymous "opinions" on the internet. A lovely girl from my grandson's high school, a daughter of friends, committed suicide a few years ago because of such "opinions". Her family has never recovered.

What has been said can never be unsaid!

I love Adam's voice and admire his character....and feel he has earned positive support from his Glamberts.

glitzylady said...

@Nanbert
Very true the effect that words can have on us, to the point of tragedy.

I think I expressed my own thoughts about "everyone is entitled to their own opinion" in my comments above also..

A couple of my comments and further thoughts surrounding them (particularly referring to this blog but in general too):

"Everyone should feel welcome here. Every opinion should be considered."

In reference to this statement I was hoping to convey the message that we perhaps need to listen carefully to what others are saying and to consider what they are actually saying. Occasionally we may react quickly and perhaps misunderstand the intent. That can and does lead to harsher words. And if we disagree with a statement, please be respectful and thoughtful in our responses. Sometimes it's perhaps best to take some time to digest the words and to form a response so as not to provoke. But I do understand that doesn't always happen. And sometimes it's just hard not to be frustrated or even angry.

"I think Adam (actually I KNOW!!!) has inspired a certain amount of "passion" [!!!] in us fans from the very beginning [of our becoming aware of him, perhaps a different moment for each of us, some new fans, some "original"], and still does! We all have our moments of feeling a little protective of him from time to time. A little (or a lot!!) frustrated on occasion."

It's understandable (and often our response to criticism or at times, hateful words directed toward Adam as fans, or even toward ourselves from another person) to be protective, but again, perhaps listen to what others are saying, their motivations. Perhaps they are just as protective and are expressing concerns more than anything. I think the bottom line here on this blog, is that we are all fans, with various points of view, perhaps various reasons for being fans of Adam.

As a moderator/administrator of this blog, along with the owner @Admin, @AdminFan (Mia), and @Broddybounce (all of whom I am in contact with to varying degrees, both as friends and admins), I do monitor the comments. I rarely feel the need to alert the blog owner to the comments posted. It's been several years since we've actually had ugly troll comments.

Bottom line: we are each responsible for our own actions. Let's make Adam proud of us.. Because we're so very proud of him!

Unknown said...

Thank you. His voice is amazing no question about that. He's a great performer. I wish he wasn't gay...

Nanbert said...

Glitzylady....as you wish. I am sorry if I seemed presumptous with my suggestion. I thought some "ground rules" might be helpful. I sincerely hope there will be more compatability than discord here in the future. Our love and concern for Adam and his career should be our only theme here.

Sue Smith said...

I must say Rosemary White if you only knew some of the other comments that person said on Instagram not to mention ones on here. I can imagine the person you are referring to and pretty sure I know who your referring to, how that persons comment would turn anyone off and problem has driven others away.
I like glitzy very much she's a lovely lady but I doubt this person trying to protect Adam that person went completely off saying ridiculous things making a mountain out of a little hill that would blown over saying total crap about Adam knowing it was a total accident on the Sam Smith thing on the boat. Correction it was probably would have driven others away not problem sent others away. I thank you for your comment.

Sue Smith said...

Nanbert I think you had some good points in your proposal.

Sue Smith said...

I Said my peace now I will just back Adam best I can he the one that matters here. Some good things coming.He deserves so many good things to happen. Looking forward to the Wicked show seeing Adam at his theatrical best.

Unknown said...

Someone said ada m is a full partner in Queen. I think people dismiss that the members of Queen still pay the estate of Freddie mercury and John deacon their shares of having been members of Queen as if they were still participating. Adam is compensated handsomely but no where as if he had decision-making powers in ALL the many Queen projects. An example is the movie because while Adam will keep benefit from Queen touring in support of the movie I don't think he would get any of the movie profits or awards associated.

Nanbert said...

Thank you, Sue. Hopefully glitzylady's intervention will bring some resolution to the discord. All I want is for Adam to be treated kindly, civilly and respectfully....as I'm sure you and glitzylady do too.

I think the "Golden Rule" is the best criteria to use when expressing an "opinion", don't you?
Imagine what the internet...what all public media...would be like then! Civilization would return!

Nanbert said...

Unknown.. you misunderstood me. I was not referring to a financial or business partnership between Adam and Queen...but to their full partnership in their Queen and Adam Lambert performances and tours...each absolutely essential to the others....partners in music. And Adam IS involved in decision-making regarding their performances. Even their name...Queen and Adam Lambert...describes their partnership in that endeavor.

I am fully aware, as are most Glamberts, that "Queen" is an business entity separate from "Queen and Adam Lambert", and that Adam is paid by Queen as Frontman in the Queen and Adam Lambert tours.



Rosemary White said...

Sue, the person I referred to in my last post is not the one you're referring to.

Shelagh said...

I've been away so unable to be on here for past week, however, thank you Glitzy Lady for trying to propose a solution, however as I've read some of the comments from Sue Smith and Nanbert , they choose to ignore you and are still writing nonsense and think they are in charge of this blog.
Sue Smith, I have NEVER used another name on IG if you look at my IG profile I use you will see it says Shelagh, but why you have to bring what's said on instagram to THIS blog site is beyond me, funny though when I say anything on here about a comment on IG I'm immediately given 'stick' about it from Nanbert !! I have been called a liar by you which I find incredibly insulting, you and Nanbert are the obvious bullies on here who won't accept anyone's opinions if they are slightly negative, but have to say the pair of you just both usually give me your backlash, Sue Smith, I have NEVER had a comment deleted from IG or here, yes I have deleted as couple of my comments both here and on IG if I feel I was being unkind, however even when I have apologised to Nanbert( when I realised I was a bit unkind I had that thrown back in my face, with utter condescending attitude from her), you talk of one bad apple upsetting the cart ,obviously referring to me , have to say Glitzy Lady, I think there are two very bad apples upsetting this cart !!!
Sue Smith, I knew it was someone from this blogsite that was giving just me lots of truly disgusting replies on IG, when in fact as I said before, none of my comments on there were deleted by IG, lots of other people on there were giving much worse 'shall we say' negative remarks than me, but no it was only me that got backlash from you, and nobody else, you obviously knew it was me(Shelagh) yet you say I used different names?, I think that makes you seem the one telling lies not me. Nanbert don't you EVER suggest that I may, because of any opinion I make be responsible to drive anyone to suicide, you did'nt say that exactly but you hinted at it yet you don't think that's a bit hypocritical the way you were commenting to me ??, I'm totally surprised you weren't thrown off here for that remark, you accused me of saying Adam was a paedophile a word I NEVER used on here but YOU did, so that makes you a total hypocrite, as perhaps that was what was in YOUR mind ? which would be disgusting to say the least !!!!, I'm done with this witch hunt of me on here I find it seems to be no matter what I say good or bad I'm vilified for it, by these two TROLLS Nanbert and SUE Smith, sorry Glitzy Lady for ranting,it's not directed at anything you do on here but these BLATANT TROLLS I'm done, I won't be replying to wither of them ever on here, and certainly will not ever rise to their bait, as that's what trolls want !

Shelagh said...

Rosemary White thank you

Nanbert said...

To whom it may concern. My statement earlier..."without Adam, Queen would be in mothballs" is NOT remotely an insult, as I am accused of above.

Most people understand that the definition of the phrase "being in mothballs" means being stored, retired, set aside, inactivated, put into long-term storage.

Since Brian and Roger have both said that they have no intention of ever touring again without Adam, it seems completely appropriate to state that..."without Adam, Queen would be in mothballs".

Interpreting that as an INSULT by me is either ignorance of the definition...or just plain malicious.

Nanbert said...

Also, an "apology" that begins with "Sorry, but...", and then continues right on with the negative remarks...is NOT an "apology".

Shelagh said...

Nanbert why don't you just name me? we all know it's me you're referring to !!! you know fully what you said was an insult, but as it's you who said it, obviously it's not ? so neither is 'inactivated,set aside or put into long term storage slightly insulting ? I think so but anyway, I am not accepting your reasons for what you've now just said, so just stop all this acerbic attitude towards everything on here that I say, Roger and Brian of course NOW won't ever perform without Adam,as they obviously have the best ever singer bar Freddie !, what I said in a nutshell was that had Freddie lived they might still have been touring as other groups are similar if not older in age still tour, but yet again, you twist everything I put on here to make out you're the good person and I'm the evil one I WILL NOT EVER reply to any further of your condescending comments again to me out of total respect for Glitzy Lady, something I think you should abide by as well, (I said you wouldn't and guess what ....I was right, you take no notice of anyone but yourself and your little tag along "dual appreciation club" friend and yes Sue Smith that's you again out of respect for Glitzy Lady, I request you do the same KIND REGARDS to you both

Shelagh said...

Glitzy Lady, as you already know, I have apologised on here to you because of the disrespect caused by some possible ?comments from myself and negative comments from two others, on this blogsite, I for one will NOT rise to anymore insulting comments from certain people on here, which may cause others any upset, obviously I cannot speak for any body else, but you and admin do such a great job on here, I accept your comments about it, that is the last I will say on the matter but thank you

Nanbert said...

Shelagh...I purposely did not address you, as I did not want or require a response...still don't.

However, I reserve the RIGHT to interpret MY OWN comments in defense of your accusations.

Fortunately, I'm sure that those who have known me here for a while will not believe I would deliberately insult Queen.

Shelagh said...

Nanbert you know quite well you were addressing me just too gutless to put my name in black and white, however everyone knew ! Yes you have the right and so do I havethe RIGHT to interpret MY OWN comments in defence of your accusations but there you go again you just can't stop it can you? what a hypocrite you truly are.
