Premiere Of Adam Lambert's New Press Photo With More Trespassing Details

RockStar Weekly acquired the new Adam Lambert press photo from Sony Music Canada today (Dec. 15) to find that the record company will be using a B&W Tony Duran photo, which was partially revealed in November on Adam's website.The bright black and white shot, which reveals a crouching Lambert, will be used as the first main image to support his upcoming single Better Than I Know Myself (being released Dec. 20) from his upcoming album Trespassing. Earlier versions of the photo where shown cropped to Adam's face - the new, full version can be seen below.

Just took Claude Kelly's verison of the song, took Adam's preview and put them together! Enjoy! soundcloud.com/glamfan/better…

I'm not liking this action.. It takes away from Adam's version.

This upsets me and pisses me off.

I understand that some people wont be affected by this and some people will want the song more, but they cant speak for the whole buying public.

We cant be sure what the impact of this could be on the public and it is a RISK.

Novelty value is a huge selling point and not everyone appreciates the distinction Adam's voice lends a song.

My guess is Adam would be unhappy to hear about this no matter how much better his song his.

it potentially steals his thunder.

I am mad. I find it thoughtless, indulgent and a bit selfish.

Now, 24 hours after we received the snippet, can I say this without people thinking that I'm concern trolling? ???

Personally, I didn't like Better Than. I didn't care about the melody, and the layering/production partially drowned his voice to sound like any other current auto-tuned urban male pop vocal. I was like, "...showcases his voice? Are we listening the same song?"

Hopefully my mind will be changed when I'll hear the whole song. Maybe this song is those that you have to "learn" to like and for that, radio exposure is crucial. But, anyway! ;D I don't like hits like Grenade or Friday Night either, so my likings aren't any kind of indicator of what American radio wants to play of people want to listen.

I love it that radio seems to have a positive attitude towards the song. Idol is a curious machine: It gives great platform for reaching stardom, but it also has the albatross effect, and people coming from AI can't break out as "genuine" starts before people are willing to forget the star's origin.

I also love it that Adam has slowly managed to build himself prestige as a genuinely great vocalist. Now it's like with Christina Aguilera; no matter how good or bad her albums succeed, no-one can claim that she couldn't sing. That can't be taken away. (Unless you do drugs. I'm looking at you, whitney Houston.)

[laughs fondly]

Its ok bb. I wasn't blown away at first listen either. However, I take heart in that people who HAVE heard the whole thing says its great.

[wry snicker] Plus it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things if *I* think this particular song is great as I hoped. I just want ***radio PDs*** to think its great so it gets played enough for Adam to go on tour again so I can get tickets (which is what I do care about!). ;D ;D ;D

Hmmm interesting. I actually had to listen to Better Than twice before I saw the Adam impact. theres some layer in his voice that is "electric" even when he sings pop choruses like BTIKMS.

theres also a layer which is mournful and throaty even though over all i agree with others that it feels kind celebratory.

So that complexity in Adam's character/energy comes across even in this poptune. And i dont think many singers have that.

In fact it made me realise you just cant fake it. Your character and experience really comes through in voice.
