I love this song and the light side/dark side concept of the video:

Also he's headlining the Sonisphere festival in the UK with Queen, which is really good for him! I loved his performance with Queen at the EMAs last year:

I know! Hopefully he'll do some good promotion here, before the album's released in March.

I don't like it. Sounds like One Republic covering a Nickelback song.

I love the song he as amazing vocals and also loved the video with the dark and light side coming together at the end.

The song's realy grown on me (I'm an Adam fan but was unsure of it at first) .... I especially like the acoustic version

When I saw the preview of the new video I thought it was a bit "safe" but seeing the whole thing where the dark side is brought in to play against the light side of Adam I think it's great .... love the concept, the stying, lighting and the way it's been filmed ... Ray Kay is a great video producer

BillBoard is such a good producer....he also produced Britney's Inside Out....plus the video is really good too. I like.

I love the song. I think this album will be really good.

Great voice song is great after a few listens and the video is visually stunning! Simple concept beautifully crafted!!! Severely hope this does well over here, it so deserves to!!!

I am a big Adam fan and loved FYE but cannot get into this song at all, any version with or without video. To me it sounds like an old Kelly Clarson reject, predictable and boring.

I am just hoping that I'll like the rest of the album.

I think this was the safe choice for the 1st single ( with American radio being so conservative ) and there are better songs on the album, the reviews have been amazing.
I think the song ,and video especially, are very complex and well thought out.
Nice to see some positive posts for Adam , I remember some of the hate posts on here a couple of years ago.
I really hope he does well , he's a great live performer as well.

Adam recently did an acoustic set in Austria where he also sang some new songs:

Outlaws of Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFZBg0vCcwk&&hd

A snippet of Trespassing (starts at 40 seconds)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u96Z7Atms7g&&hd

I liked 'For Your Entertainment', but I think the new album will be much better.

Yes i hope the UK promo is more cohesive this time around ... reviews and media interest so far seem more promising

"Cuckoo" seems to be the track all the reviewers are raving over ... so I'm really looking forward to hearing that .... hope we don't have to wait too much longer to hear samples

The song really brings out his vocal range, I<3it!

rosiedevon · 05/02/12 - 09:49

I really liked the song after a cpl of listens.

But the song I wish he was releasing over here from the ones I have heard off the Album is Trespassing.

i agree obviously im a fan:p really like the little snippet of trespassing hooked me in straight away unlike BTIKM wasnt sure about it at first but after a few listens its grown on me. The video has really made it come alive imo cannot wait for the album:D

That's exactly the way I feel about it, I love the acoustic version as I knew I would, Adam is so much better live than on record any way.
The video is fantastic and Adam is brilliant in it, he's a pretty good actor, and any of us who are fans have seen both these sides of him and more. I was also a bit worried when I saw the preview because it looked a lot like WWFM, and I didn't want him to keep repeating himself just because that one was a hit.
I love the story line, I always love a story, I get very bored with videos which are just some rapper posing with is car while a group of dancers wriggle their arses at him. Or worse his 'co-star' girl singer wriggles her arse at him.
I just can't wait for the rest of the album, I already love Outlaws of Love and Trespassing, what we heard of it anyway.

I love the track 'Better Than I Know Myself'. And the music video for the track has made me love the track even more.

I think the music video for 'Better Than I Know Myself' is brilliant, dramatic, and very well produced. Congrats to Adam Lambert, Ray Kay, and the production team!
