Thanks to junkets for pointing out another Adam fake song going around courtesy of AdamLambertUnderneat who brought us such classics as the fake Map and Underneath leaks and the fake FYE demos!

Dunno if this has been cleared up on another forum but I had a look on Twitter and just saw loads of people sharing it, so if you see anyone sharing it let them know.

Amazing song though :D

I don't need no GPS but there's been a red carpet of clues all leading in one direction, toward the Idol judging table. I thought when the "beautiful rumor" first surfaced it seemed a real possibility that Adam could actually be an AI judge because I didn't think he'd react so openly positive, putting his cards on the table, so to speak, if he didn't have a true chance. Plus, he was glowing. But it seemed almost too much to hope for and there was so much Queen goodness to focus on that I pushed the thoughts of Idol to the side. When Dean Piper commented a few days later that he didn't know if Adam would be available for a worldwide Queen tour because he'd be "busy soon" that was the first time the thought flashed through my mind that Adam had been offered the job because I believed Adam would tell Dean, given their relationship. Looking back at events, I think he finalized the deal and signed the contract soon after he returned home. Adam's comments about returning to Oklahoma and the Popledge tweets reinforced my thought that he had the job, but the Sacramento radio station interview made the belief take root and solidify in my heart. I was afraid to express the feeling out loud, as if that would somehow jinx it, and wrote that I thought he was in serious contention when I was actually flailing on the inside. When 4Msrmyn stated that same day that she'd go so far as to say she thinks he's already got the Idol gig, I posted that I felt the same way but was afraid to count my chickens. When Adam tweeted the next weekend that he was announcing a new single "soon," all my chicks flew the coop!

Apparently, my writing that day about a scenario as if Adam had already gotten the job made some uncomfortable, but I can honestly say that at the time it wasn't intentional and it didn't occur to me to express my thoughts differently because I was transcribing from mind to the keyboard what I was seeing and believing and projecting, and it felt very real to me. I tried to explain the reasons I felt the way I did. I've been more aware of my language since then, and have tried to make more conscious word choices, which can be difficult when I'm writing on the fly and which in the end hasn't changed much about the way I speak about this topic because his position on the panel still felt very real. A couple of moments gave me pause along the way and I wasn't sure what the configuration of judges would be around him, but believed Adam would be at the table.

Wherever anyone's feelings fall along the spectrum of belief, I don't think anyone should worry about being mistaken or not on a message board. Where's the fun in that? For me, it's a place to play and dream and share information and ideas, that are sometimes on the mark and sometimes not, and I wouldn't want anything to hinder that free expression.

There have been soooo many more hints since that day Adam announced he'd be releasing a new single. And with Adam's follow of American Idol on Twitter, I gave myself permission to full-on flail. And here's the main point I wanted to make (sorry for running on): We know him. It's not an exaggeration to say that if he followed AI knowing he did not have the job, and knowing how some fans would interpret the act, then I would seriously have to reassess all of my instincts and some of what I thought I knew about life. I do not believe he would ever be so careless with the emotions of people who care about him.

Heartache, worry, and disappointment can seem to persist forever. I wish times of celebration could last just as long, so I'm getting a head start! I'm gonna ride my wave of happiness and enjoy the anticipation!

Yes, the final Idol contract contains all kinds of terms -- including promotional guarantees.

Am wondering if the fact that DMG was talking to AI re Katy Perry earlier on would have any bearing on what they could get for Adam. Would it have given them a better idea of the lay of the land, so to speak?
