A lurker here!
![]() I am thrilled - a huge congratulations to Adam for not only retaining his fan-base but expanding it. It's one heck of an album - he should be proud. A second album is notoriously difficult, especially when the artist has to make it on his own merits and not from the hype of AI, and I wasn't sure how it would do. I should have had more faith! |

I agree he's looking great at the moment, and so happy - but who can blame him
![]() A couple more videos from the last week or so: Performing at Scott and Todd Mornings Summer Blast Off. And Adam's appearance on Watch What Happens Live plus the After Show videos are all up on this channel

There are a couple of standout tracks which are acceptable, but nothing that really equals his talent. I had hoped and expected to get an album of songs as good as 'Whaddya Want From Me'. Be they written by himself or other peeps. What I got, was overproduced gay disco, more often than not with his voice too far back in the mix, and songs that simply were not memorable. Where are the great hook lines, where are the great guitar or synth solos? Where are the ideas? I think he's got one more chance to deliver, and if he can't or won't make an album something like Aladdin Sane for today, then this very bright star may burn out.

Welcome to the thread nathanbrazil
Sorry to hear you're disappointed with the album, maybe something he does in the future will be more to your taste. Personally I love the direction that Adam's taken with Trespassing, but it would be a dull world if we all agreed all the time!

Unfortunately, I cannot agree. Don't get me wrong, I think Adam Lambert is an exceptional performer, with one of the best voices of his generation. But, the second album is very, very disappointing.

"Take Back" for example - "Broken English" - "Runnin'" as well as the two songs released as singles. The stand-out song for me is "Undrneath" - but there is a lot to discover on the album. I like the way he is taking risks and a slightly different direction: he isn't sitting back and playing safe with the same old sounds, comfortable as that would have been |

Some nice UK press for Adam today
![]() The Guardian - New music: Adam Lambert – Never Close Our Eyes And the Mirror - Adam Lambert makes history and releases new music video in the same week - not bad for a runner-up, is it? Lots of Canadian promo happening as well, too much to keep up with but there's a great video here of him on the Marilyn Denis Show |

It's great to see the UK coverage is adding up. I wouldn't mind joining in more Adam discussion, especially about the album and of course the forthcoming Queen gig (which I'm going to!!). I guess he has an online fansite?

Which night are you going to Queen? ![]() Have you seen Adam's official website? There's a forum there that's quite busy http://www.adamofficial.com/uk/home And there's also an official fanclub site, although you have to be a member http://adamlambertfans.com/ There are also couple of unofficial UK fansites: This one originally grew from this thread here on DS back when Adam was on Idol http://thelambrits.co.uk/blog/ And there's another here as well http://www.adamlambertuk.com/ ![]() A lot of chat and news sharing happens on Twitter though really, if you're a tweeter? |

I am very excited about him appearing on Graham Norton, in fact I can hardly sit still long enough to type this. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he cracked the UK? I know, I know...it's a tough market but still...we can dream... Thank you again for all the links! ![]() Edit: I just noticed your question! I'm going to see Queen and Adam on the 11th July |

Adam will be on Everyone's Talking About on 4Music this afternoon from 4.30pm
If anyone missed it, his PR have said fans can go and see him outside the studio from 4pm if anyone is able to go along. I've heard NCOE on Capital a couple of times in the last few days - very exciting Sounds fabulous on the radio!
