Adam Lambert 24/7 News

I agree with Adam. We are entering a new era that requires new ideas and creative thinking. I always told my kids, "Look forward, not back." We need to solve problems with 21st century attitudes. I like the way Adam said it!

Yes never look back always put it behind and carry on forwards !

But, if we don't look back at history, we are likely to keep making the same stupid mistakes. Everything "old" is not necessarily bad...nor is everything "new" necessarily good.
The greatest trick is to get everyone to agree which is which, right?

Hope Adam's "thoughts for 2021" all come out right! An awful lot sure needs "fixing".

Nanbert, you're right. But what I meant is that too often, people dwell in the past and keep stewing over old stuff that they can't change and they refuse to move on. Knowing what happened in the past is important and we can learn from it, but I think people need to look forward and find ways not make the same old mistakes. I think that's what Adam was getting at, too.

Dee R Gee...I agree that's what Adam was undoubtedly getting at. It's just that a slogan like "Out with the Old, and in with the New" is too simplistic, and could be countered with the slogan "Don't throw the Baby out with the Bathwater".

What really needs "fixing" first are the self-serving career "decision-makers"...and bring back the "OLD" art of compromise for the sake of EVERYONE!

BTW....LOVE that photo of Adam above...very handsome, open, honest and downright angelic. Wanna pinch his cheeks! Nice guy!

Mi Re La, thank you for the link to the whole Wicked! We have seen bits and pieces of Adam in the show for years, but never the whole thing. It gives us a chance to actually see him act as well as sing. He can do both! He was so young an fresh-faced. Just as beautiful now, of course.

Helloooooo! Just checking in here to say that it's a sunny, much warmer day in Chicago. Took a long outdoor walk in a big park. Light jacket!

Just glancing at my handy AFL pocket calendar. Looks like he'll be part of a panel discussion for the Center For Gender Affirming Care. (I think that's what I wrote!) Anyway, thought I'd throw that out there. Hopefully, we'll get to see the discussion either during or after it. Then there's the next Stonewall pre--event on April 22.

It's pretty quiet in AdamLand right now. I hope he is working behind the scenes on some interesting projects.

Hibernation.

While Adam is hibernating, Dee R Gee, I've been hunting up anything, everything, by and about him on youtube. And I ran across this discussion, and praise, of his voice by a rock singer and his voice coach which I think is one of the best and most flattering I've read. Watch James Michael talking about Adam Lambert's vocal skills.....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n_gYjEyzmM&t=4s

Thanks for that link, Nanbert! I have seen that interview before, but it's great to see it again. I love hearing Adam get so much praise for his vocal talent. Others in the music business are just in awe. And the praise comes from so many genres. Sheer talent knows no boundaries.

I hope we hear from Adam soon. I assume he's busy with something. I just want to know what it is. Sometimes he surprises us with exciting news, and I am very ready.

Dee R Gee, I'd seen the interview earlier, too, and was struck at how James Michael and his coach sounded/acted just like the most avid Glamberts at the Isle of Wight festival (where he performed, too)...and how James always spends 1/2 hour listening to Adam recordings on earphones to get him in a "mindset" for his own performances. THAT'S really being a fan!

I wonder if Adam knows about that. Probably. But don't you wonder if all the praise by his peers and fans about being the best male singer of this generation puts a lot of pressure on Adam to live up to expectations?...even though it has to be flattering for him at the same time.

My dearest wish is for Adam to record an album or two of COVERS....of some of the most monumental and stirring music of our lifetime...classics from all genres...that only he can properly bring to life again....better than anyone else.

I would mind a cover album as long as it wasn't songs that have been done a thousand times. I'd prefer some classics that would sound new and fresh to listeners. He makes every songs, old or new, his own. I'm sure that he wants to work on new solo music, too. He takes pride in creating new songs that are personal to him. I sometimes compare him to Josh Groban. Josh have a stellar voice, too. But he is not chasing the top 40 charts. He does mostly covers, with great success. It would be cool to see Josh and Adam perform together sometime. What a duet that would be!

Anybody got any suggestions for "classics" that Adam might like to record? I have a favorite song that I have always wanted to hear Adam sing. It's "Long Long Time, " recorded by Linda Ronstadt. It's not really a "classic," but it's a beautiful song that can just hear Adam singing in my head. Has some killer glory notes Should be on YouTube, I'll look.

Link to live performance of Long Long Time. Sorry not a live link. There are many choices on YouTube of this song. Adam's voice would just soar.

Isle of Wight Festival 2016 – Queen + Adam Lambert - "Fronted by the phenomenally talented and charismatic Adam Lambert "
https://planetradio.co.uk/absolute-radio/music/news/isle-of-wight-festival-september-2021/

Thanks for the information, MiReLa. you are a superlative information gatherer!

Hurray! Dare we hope the Isle of Wight Festival will really happen?...and QAL will reign there again? Will it be safe enough by then? Hope springs eterna!.

Love that description of Adam...so true...."phenomenally talented and charismatic Adam Lambert". How easily it rolls off the tongue!

Dee R Gee...like your "classic" suggestion. Also, how about "You'll never Walk Alone"... or "My Way"...or "Hallelujah!...or...."The Way We Were"...or....?

Anybody else have an idea for Adam's "Covers"? Maybe we should all start a list?

Good suggestions, Nanbert. We could all come up with a few cover ideas. I don't particularly want Adam to be known as a cover singer, but a song here and there would be ok. He loves his solo music because it come from his own heart. But a few classic covers would really grab attention. Sometimes I hear a TV commercial that has a good song sun by a current artist. I often wish that Adam would get a chance to sing on an ad that would be heard by millions of people on a daily basis.

Dee R Gee...Queen songs turn up in commercials all the time....and I always stop, listen and hope it's Adam singing. But, sigh, it isn't him. Maybe he'll get a commercial of his own someday...his voice is so arresting!

Wait! Didn't he have a commercial a while back? Oreos?...or something like that?

Yep, it was an Oreo commercial. Here it is.....

https://vimeo.com/153266455

And the VH1 and Diva Show Commercials..... https://vimeo.com/153266455

Yep, I know that there are LOTS of Queen songs used in commercials, and they are heard A LOT! But they are Queen, not QAL, so Adam is not singing. I do remember that Oreo commercial and the VH1 and Divas, too. but they were short-term. I'd love to see Adam do a commercial song that is heard A LOT over a long period of time, like so many commercials are. I hear some ads play on TV at least ten times a day (if I'm home) for months on end. I would love to have more people hear his voice in all its glory even if it's for an ad. Great exposure!

Dee R Gee.....couldn't agree more!

I miss Adam I wonder what he up to. One of my single daughters moved up here. Not living in my home but doggies and her here quite a bit. So I do not have much time. Afraid one of my other daughter may have covid. They were getting tested today. My daughter and son in law.
Texas is dropping all mask mandates against Bidens wishes other states as well. Opening
100% and no mask mandate. One thing to open all up now but should still wear masks until more people vaccinated. Waiting on my second shot. Please be safe going check on my daughter and son in law on phone. He did not believe in the shot my son in law. Please be safe.

Sue, I feel your anxiety. I have three close relatives in Texas. They are all very supportive of the vaccine and are following all the protocols. And they are against the new "opening" of the state. Only one of the three is over 65 and she has gotten her vaccines. The others are younger. I sure hope most people in Texas will still wear masks a practice social distancing regardless of what the governor says. But I have my doubts.

BTW, I LOVE Dolly Parton's parody of her song "Jolene." It starts with "Vaccine, vaccine...." Very funny but has a strong message about getting the shots. Probably on YouTube.

It would be fun if Adam did a pro-vaccine song like that. Like if he parodied I Want It All.

"I want my shot! I want my shot! I want my shot! And I want it NOW!"
The rest of IWIA would make a good parody with vaccine lyrics. LOL

Yes...Dolly Parton was so cute. I liked her line..."I'm old enough to get it, and SMART enough to get it!"

It's interesting to discover that she was a major contributer to the developer of that vaccine.

We got the Dolly Parton ad for the vaccination be over here in the UK she’s great ! Dee R Gee Would also love to hear Adam do a vaccine commercial singing IWIA be great to hear that ! Lol

Thanks Dee R Gee. That Governor failed us miserably in that terrible storm. So this is a political move we believe. It's alot of bs. Dolly love her.

Well, Sue, thank goodness you have sense enough to stay safe. Your Governor is playing politics instead of common sense! Unfortunately, there are plenty of people close-minded and stupid enough to follow his directions.

12 Epic Eyeliner Looks You Need to Try STAT - Adam Lambert nr. 8
https://www.ipsy.com/blog/eyeliner-looks

Yes Nanbert,there has definitely been some people that have not worn them most of the time this has gone on. Thanks to certain politicians and not using the brains God gave them. Masks may not be 100% but they certainly help added to vacinations when all are able to get them now that we have them. I say just hold on a few more months things will finally I think start getting better. That if we do not keep getting set backs that in some cases can be avoided.
I know you can do all the right things and still get it with so much still out there. I really do think we have a much higher chance of not getting Covid if we wear masks when we need to and get vaccines when we are able.
If we do that there will come the right time alot sooner that we will no longer need to wear a mask and we will be safe. To bad some of these governors have not got the memo are have chosen to ignore it.
On a lighter note I really miss Adam he pretty quite. Hope he working on good things for him.

Cool that Adam was the only guy in that eyeliner list. Unlike most guys, he looks good in eye makeup. It looks natural on him. It enhances his natural beauty.

And Sue, you are so right. We are not out of danger yet. We can't let our guard down with the virus. No matter what, we need to keep wearing masks and distancing safely. I know those governors want their states' economies to get going. We all do. But not at the expense of people's lives.

And yeah, I hope Adam is working on good things. We haven't heard from him in a while, other than that short Gender Affirming thing.

I'd like to hear what Adam would do with the song "Without You". Would he go back to the original style or do the style we all are most familiar with. OR would Adam put a whole new twist on it?

Patria...probably a bit of both. But Adam's unique talent is putting his OWN stamp on a cover song....i.e. OWNING IT!

Just saw a reply from Shosh in response to a question from a fan about what Adam is doing. She said he is working on stuff "behind the scenes." That is very exciting! Now we know for sure that he is busy with projects of some sort. Can't wait to find out what they are.

When things get quiet, I get pretty ansty. LOL

Patria, do you mean that song "Without You" that goes, "I can't liiiiiiive if livin' is without you. I can't giiiiiive, I can't give anymore." I think Ada would really sing the hell out of that song. It's big voice song with lots of glory notes. Wonder if he knows that song?

Yes, that's the song Dee. It's tough to find a popular song that hasn't been covered countless times. My daughter is a fan of Adam's lower range and this certainly has that. I love the soaring vocals myself. Never get tired of them. Here's a link to the cover by Air Supply for anyone who wants a reminder of the song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sevLf2b2ON0

Saw a few pics this morning of Adam at a restaurant with Terrence and Anthony. Probably were out last night. He looks great! Nice to have good friends who will always be your friends through thick and thin. Adam and Terrence go back since before Idol.

Patria... "Without You" should definitely be put on a list of blockbuster covers for Adam to make into an album. His voice would SOAR in the chorus!....leaving no eye dry at "Can't Live"... I get goosebumps just thinking about it!

Exactly, Nanbert. Adam's vocal prowess and his magic touch are reimagining different aspects of a song are perfect for this song.

'magic touch at' not 'are'

C'mon, Adam. We're waiting for some news!

Ah....ADAM!....let us hear from you!...just to let us know you're O.K.

Of course Shosh would say Adam is "working on stuff behind the scenes". If so, surely Adam could alay our fears and immaginations and tell us that himself. Even that photo with Terence and Anthony could have been taken at some earlier time.

The last news of him (here) is dated February 20....19 days ago!

Of course, I don't "DO" tweets or instagram, so maybe I am not privy to other information than what turns up here....for which I am eternally grateful, broddybounce and glitzylady!

Well, I hope whatever he's doing turns out to be pretty major, cuz we've been hanging here wondering for quite a while. When he's ready to share some news, we'll know.

Just hope he's not sick! I have COVID-nightmares about him, and all my loved ones!

Getting my second vaccine tomorrow. I'm sure Adam isn't sick. Just want his next message to us to be a really GOOD one.

Hey, hey, hey, everybody — I know many of you will get a notification when a new comment is left ... SO ... just wanted to let you know that I posted something new for the first time in weeks! YAY...!!! Don't get TOO excited — sorry, no, there is no actual "news." But it is a really fun "Flashback" post that you are going to love — oh, and the first two are "new/old" videos that we've never posted before, so there you go! ENJOY!
