Funny on so many levels! Nile is showing himself to be a gem of a man. Adam's stage performance with him was high-energy, fun perfection. I hope they continue to work together long after the Hampton's concert. RARE artists!

I bless Nile Rogers and I pray for his good health and long life as well as Dr. Brian May & Roger Taylor for more future collaboration with Adam.

Nile is something else!!

Isn't it dangerous for your heart to exercise when you have hangover? He plays with his health. js

Nile is nice. It's great they started collaborating.

There are a lot of musicians from way back who are looking for good singers. Adam has a lot of opportunities beyond Queen and Nile. Slash - others. He will always be in demand.

Something to ponder. Everyone seems thrilled that performers in their 60's are flocking to sing Adam's praises and in some cases work with him......(Queen, Nile, N. Sinatra, Slash, Cher, Meatloaf, etc.).......and yet when fans in their 60's flock to Adam and support him they are frequently told to stay out of front rows at concerts, don't take up seats at radio stations during promos, etc. because they are harming Adam's rep...........Just a thought on a rainy Sunday........................JAK

Now thats a professional, hangover but gets on treadmill and does his thing. I often wondered how Adam did the the first concerts over 100 I beleive night after night without getting sick and having to cancel. I think I heard him once say he learned early on how to sing even with a cold. How many of these so called singers of today can say the same thing. NOT

Some of the singers today might sound better with a cold!

And he also seems to smoke, maybe some electric cigarette. There is a brand new photo of him smoking that in NY. Maybe going to treadmill when having hangover and smoking a harmless electronic cigarette are his weapons to stay healthy. He is professional, definitely.

5:04* well it is the truth, what Adam's management wants *and needs * to project is fanbase with young and old, especially the young! Talk about various endorsements.........if you know what i mean

I don't know how to give a link here but if you mean the smoking pic go for instance to Adamtopia, Daily News, page 4 or 5 of today. About going to treadmill while having hangover there is evidence in this site, on Nile's tweet.

Sorry, the pic (Adamtopia) is on page 2 (18th of Aug.). There is a smaller and bigger version of it.

I love the idea of Adam collaborating with Nile, but hearing about the hangover is not so good. I hope there aren't too many of these hangovers for him since we all know that Adam does like to party with friends at his favorite clubs. Maybe once he starts filming for Glee and then working on music for a third album, some of his partying ways will be cut back. We don't want that kind of reputation for him .

Anonymous said...

I agree. He has now more time to take care of hangovers at home but future is demanding with Glee and other challenges. Maybe it is easy for him to slow down a bit. He has usually excellent working morale, I think. (although this summer in Miami he had that massive hangover during the radio interview). Let's believe that he is enjoying now when it is possible.

Please, can't you be "moms" just quietly in your minds....
Let Adam live the normal life of a young man!!!

Anonymous said...

You mean "youngish". He is 31 years old already; not in his early twenties or something. But it is his life.

Anonymous said...

Adams living room is the clubs. He is single and he seems to have no other outlets for recreation. So sorry Nile found him with yet another hangover, but was able to get him into the studio anyway. I don't think Adam spent 2 hours on exercycle, but I bet he drank plenty of strong coffee, and maybe some time exercising. I don't think this is a normal life of a young man, as was said, when his career is at stake. He seems to have very little work ethics right now. We don't know what is going on in his personal life right now, that makes him feel that drinking will make it better. Nile must really care about him, or he could have just said "forget it, I will find someone else". I am still waiting for a 3rd album to start, which it hasn't, or it is all very secret, because there is no evidence of it happening. When he has gone to the rare times to the studio it has been for something else. I am not a troll, just very disappointed, I have been an avid fan since AI, please don't say he is a young man, just enjoying life to the fullest. What I thought he enjoyed most was performing in concerts, but he isn't even trying to make that happen. Glee will not take up all his time, and he is damned lucky to be considered for a part of it. Now you can attack me, but I am feeling like his MOM and just saying how I feel, right or wrong. Give me an argument

Anonymous said...

you will get no argument from me..I have thought for some time that Adam likes drinking a little too much..and it has gotten him in trouble already..he had to spend a nite in jail because of it..I love Adam so much and want the very best for him..but like you said, the clubs are his life away from home..more and more..he has said that he loves alcohol..but, as we all know, it can end up killing a career, or even the person. I keep hoping that there will be evidence of him getting back to work recording, etc..but he may not have a label yet..it seems to be a long tough road to stardom, for anyone..Adam has the reputation of being so darn nice that the media seems not to lambast him for his partying ways..I also hope he is not sleeping with all these "new" boys..deep down, I feel that he may be a bit depressed..what he needs is love and a record deal and a successful track off a new album...and thank you for saying what I have been thinking and haven't said for fear of being attacked as a troll..

Anonymous said...

I don't think he needs a label, to get some songs recorded, and ready for his album. He has had plenty of time lately to do that. I don't want to hear, yet again, that we do not know how busy he is. Yes, it is his life, and we cannot live it for him. He won't be the first star to go up like the rocket, and come down like the stick.

You say he may be a bit depressed, but do you admit that he does not look at all unhappy in the recent pics and videos? On the contrary, he smiles and glows like in old days. Doesn't look very depressed to me.

We don't know about the label-thing. But he's been on studio lately. So we may assume there will be coming some new music. And I'm sure the coming concerts with Nile and Avicii and Queen and the Glee-program will be make him more widely known.

What comes to love. At the moment he is enjoying the single status. He has not to worry anyone else but himself. I'm sure he will find soon someone if he wants and has time to live in a solid relationship. If he hasn't already found one because he looks so happy (and Victor is his type and behaves possessively; they have much in common).

Anonymous said...

8:59 AM I agree with you.

Anonymous said...

thinking more about it..the probability is that he hasn't been given the opportunity to perform in more concerts..I know I have come down pretty hard on him..I LOVE YOU ADAM! - and he does have the Glee thing and the I heart radio with Queen..Please, please, please, we, none of us, could recover if he, as you say, comes down like a stick....

Anonymous said...

He said himself a couple of months ago, that he cannot be on any programs, because he has nothing new to promote. So now a couple of months later he still has nothing to promote. He seems to have lost his creativity for writing, although in MHO, I never did think it was his strong point. His voice is everything, and his ability to own the stage. Few people can do that. He seems to have run dry on getting collaborators, he really needs a few. I repeat, I am not a troll, just care about him, and looking forward to some good music again.

Anonymous said...

@9:25 - totally agree..I am glad that we can express our concerns for Adam and his career without being labelled as trolls, or called out for being mean, etc., I truly believe that we all love Adam and are just looking out for him, in our own way, which is to say that he will not reap the benefits of our concern, unless he reads this blog and takes to heart what we are saying..you are right, Adam's voice is everything and he needs to protect it..drinking and partying will not protect it...but, then again, as was said above, it is his life to live as he chooses..we just love him so much and don't want to be disappointed in him, nor have him disappoint himself..

I can't believe the amount of criticism for Adam just because he had a hang-over 'BIG DEAL' and yes he does enjoy partying and socialising, where else is he going to meet gay guys, these clubs are where Adam feels the most comfortable and of course he is going to go to them. Do you honestly expect him to sit home watching TV every night? Adam's passion is in music so it only stands to reason that clubs are the place to go to. So what if he enjoys a few drinks, it's his own bloody business. FOR GOD'S SAKE GET OFF HIS BACK, AND STOP PRETENDING THAT YOU ARE ONLY CONCERNED FOR HIM, IF YOU REALLY LOVE THIS GUY THEN ACCEPT HIM UNCONDITIONALLY. That is the true meaning of love. Adam looks very happy if you care about him then be greatful for that.

Adam said awhile back in an interview that he wouldn't be sharing every little bit of his life, his thoughts, his new music, etc.., nearly as much as he has in the past. He's learned a certain amount of discretion in his private life, and in his professional life. So I suspect that although he IS working on new music (that much we DO know), we won't know much at all about the details until he has things ready to go with a new album, a single, etc.

I love "Adam The Open Book" but it's not always in his best interest to be so forthcoming about every little thing. He's obviously learned over time not to share as much, and while I miss his openness, I understand his need for a little less TMI. We all care about Adam, I think that's a given. And we worry a little, also a given. Because we care. And he's just so damn lovable..and so damn talented. But I also believe that he's working on a whole lot more than any of us know. I also believe that while we do see the pics of him out with friends, it's nothing to fret over IMO. To be honest, if I were single, lived in Hollywood/LA, was relatively well off, well known, and had all of those interesting, artistic, talented friends, I'd be going out more often, going to trendy clubs, nice restaurants, etc. (Been to a few in visits to LA actually...love 'em..Seriously..)...

I appreciate the calm conversations going on here in this thread. Discussing things, expressing concerns and opinions without being over the top or accusatory. Truly awesome..

One more thought: Adam is never going to be Josh Grobin, Michael Buble, etc.. He's probably always going to be just a little polarizing, a little edgy, a little "contrary" at times :)) ... Isn't that why we love him, other than his obvious talent and engaging personality, which are givens.. He's a little different. That's why he caught my eye (and ear) in the first place and keeps me here even now, 4 plus years later. Hell yes I wish the best for him and once in a while he drags a little "YIKES!!" out of me, but I think he's gonna be okay in the long run.

Patience and Peace to all....

Well...most of the conversations anyway :))))

@glitzylady - you are the voice of reason..we are just so passionate when it comes to Adam..and we just cannot get enough of him..to be honest, when I was his age I went to bars all the time and did, on many more than one occasion, have too much to drink..because I know how this affects the body, is the reason I want better for Adam..I do love him unconditionally and will til I leave this old world..any comments made by me are out of love for him, as if he were my son (and I have made comments to my sons of the same nature)..its all good people..amazing things are on the horizon..

Glitzylady...From 10:14 AM. Thanks for the patronising reprimand, seems no matter how critical people are of Adam you always want to smooth things over. I don't appreciate it, I have a right to get a bit steamed up at times and to express my opinions when clearly people can't seem to accept Adam for who he is. At least I'm being honest which is far better than criticising Adam while pretending to care about him, that to me is quiet hypocritical. If you don't like the way I got my message across instead of jumping in as you so often do, I suggest you scroll on by as you often tell others to do. I make no apologies for choosing to voice my opinions in the manner that I have.

Exactly! The majority of those who come here to comment, flail, etc..etc.., do it out of love and admiration, and sometimes a little concern and worry, for this awesome, talented, sweet guy Adam Lambert. We all just do it in our own ways. Bottom line: we are SOOO wishing great things for him, always: Happiness, success, and certainly, love, when it comes around for him again, with whomever it may be. (No speculations from me on that subject :) ....) In the meantime, I also suspect it will continue to be a wild, exciting, and on occasion, bumpy, ride. Still loving every minute....

@Anon 10:14 AM
I wasn't even referring to you, just so you know. :)) I hadn't even seen your comment. I was working on my post (with some real life interruptions) when you posted yours and only saw it afterwards.

And again, another "just so you know": I happen to AGREE with what you said. Adam has every right to do whatever the hell he wants to without people picking every little thing apart. I do love him for who he is unconditionally. He's one special dude. If you will perhaps take the time to read my comment again, without jumping to conclusions so quickly, you might notice that I said pretty much the same thing. In a little less CAPITALIZED way :)))))

As a very wise and respected person that I know once said "Don't "hear" me too quickly..." . And as I said in my follow up comment at 11:29 AM (again, before I saw your comment directed to me), we all say things in our own way. I appreciate your way as well. Your way is pretty much no BS and direct.

One more BTW: My comment at 10:49 AM was also NOT directed at you...Just a general statement......

Nile is a sweetie pie and values Adam's talent and friendship. I'm glad that Adam stepped up for Nile, even tho' feeling rocky. Nile was up all night writing. Wonder what other gems he hhas for Adam. I'm so glad his last Ca exam was favorable. He had a very agressive type of prostate cancer, which usually isn't the norm. I hope he continues to thrive.

There's so much rancor over opinions. They're all important thoughts to whomever is posting, whether you agree or not. Agree to disagree and not get hung up on taking sides, just share your own thoughts and don't get bent out of shape or name call if your opinion differs. I have mine and if you disagree it's fine. I'm not on a mission to tell anyone how to think or feel, but may share my own views which aren't going to guarantee world peace or make any difference in Adam's life. lol. My take, which really doesn't matter is, when Adam is on tour and has a grueling schedule he paces himself and has an excellent work ethic. He eats healthy, exercises and rests. I've heard him say on more than one occasion when he has performances back to back he goes back to the hotel and sleeps. If he has a day off with no obligations he goes out like any other single guy that has the opportunity. Two drinking incidents in 5 years is pretty tame. He's working on a different timetable that's not the usual norm, most likely writing and recording on different days, taking care of personal obligations and business matters and lives in an area with abundant night life that encourages celebs to be seen and in the public eye. Not that unusual in my estimation. I realize that there is concern for his health, but I certainly wouldn't call Adam an alcoholic and he's never missed a performance or performed impaired, so I think he's pretty capable of making his own life decisions without our help. I don't discount the worries that some of you have, especially if your lifestyle is one that isn't familiar with alcohol. Many may choose to have a cocktail with dinner and do with no problem. If you have an alcoholic gene, then it becomes a problem. It does not signify immoral behavior or anything else as long as it doesn't get out of hand. Adam will be fine and will work out his highs and lows like anyone else. I will always hope for his happiness and remember that he's no more perfect than we are and like us, has to walk his own path in life. Be kind, people and accept that we all are entitled to our own thoughts and the rights and feelings of others. Peace and hugs.

Thanks Glitzylady for typing in paragraphs now and spaces between them.
It's not hard to read for my eyes that way.
It's hard to read if it's just one long paragraph and most of the time I don't.
