I only saw the video once before it was taken down, but I think I already love it!  I think it's the most intensely personal video Adam's done so far re. our culture's insatiable need to be entertained versus the life of an entertainer, and what often goes down behind the scenes when the music stops, the curtains close, and the spotlights are turned off. I think it's a poignant reminder that there are real people behind the glitz and costumes and makeup. I've always thought it must be damned hard to be Adam (or any singer/stage actor, really) heading "home" to a hotel room all by yourself after the intensity of performing. Can't wait to watch the vid a few hundred more times!! (looks at you, lilly, with jealousy!)  |

Well I guess Adams fanbase is diverse. Not everyone cares about his looks, or how it is represented. Doesen't bother e one bit haha. More interested in how the song is interpreted, and the story and concept. Not thrilled that the Vaajays are in it, I always found their association with Adam cringe worthy at best, but hey Adam is close to his friends and associates. I really don't think the Vaajays are in it, they don't look like them at all.. my guess is the ladies were really in the audience in Las vegas when the video was made.I could be wrong.. just my guess |

Do you think having her open for Adam was Warner Music's decision or I wonder if Adam had a voice in the decision? I don't know how these things work.

Exciting news- the amazing @melanielbbh is joining @adamlambert on his #OriginalHighTour in NZ! ???????????? #AdamLambert bit.ly/1K6dKkr
According to the video from Austrslia, she is co-headlining. I'm curious too why they feel the need to have a co-headliner, especially someone who is relatively unknown compared to Adam. Does it have anything to do with slow sales for the concerts or ...?? Sorry for any typos, my computer died and I'm getting eye strain reading the forum via iPhone. ???? |

The guy said first she was his 'supporting act' then later said co-headliner. I think he meant 'supporting act. She wasn't even named when tickets were sold. |

I watched the video once and wasn't smart enough to keep playing it. I actually thought the fact it was a MALE stripper was cool--Magic Mike, anyone? And I agree about the dancer who is so balletically trained yet makes her living as a showgirl--I thought this was edgy too, given the NYCity Ballet or the American ballet has just hired its first black prima ballerina. And Gigi is representative of today's Caitlyn Jenner. So although each of them is "vintage," it is also universal with freshened, classic themes.
I find the video both poignant and "on point" (pun intended). For your entertainment will always be my fave glam Adam vid, but I think this one features the un-glam side of both Adam and show biz. It is real without being heavy-handed--no one drunk or shooting up which would be the next level down and often the director goes for the shock factor, but this seems to reflect a gentler, but no less gritty reality.
Wait until I see it a second time!
Seoulmate, high five!
