I'm so glad that I found this site when I did! I was looking for info on the 'glamazon posts' and stumbled on ATOP. I'd heard of it before, but never really spent time lurking here. It's fast becoming the only place I go....other sites I don't seem to have as much time for. YOU ALL ROCK!

I saw a post pages back .... the person who looked down and realized she was still in her pj's. I'm totally with her. I've been looping BTIKM over and over..... I've been up for 4 hours and haven't even eaten breakfast!

BTIKM has me hooked! Can't even think of words to FLAIL with....

WELCOME, SPIFFYSMILE!! I'm thrilled to see a fellow Missourian here!
I'm from KC--recently moved to California--where are you from?
The "Show Me" State! Well, Adam sure shows us, doesn't he?

And yes, Atop is the best!

Here's Lyndsey (cant wait for others takes on it like Jim)

I love Lyndsey 'fangirl'. Quote from her article: ;D

[a href=""I know I certainly plan to have the song on a constant loop this weekend, trigger-fingeredly hitting the "play" button repeatedly, like a hungry rodent in a lab experiment whacking a lever to get another food-pellet fix.

Adam Lambert...the modern edgy artist with an old rock soul.

OMFG I 'M QUOTING MYSELF BUT THE SOUND HERE IS AMAZING!!!!!

IT IS BETTER!!!

And now that the whole single is out there for everyone to hear, I hope it's okay if I go ahead and just put what I think about it here...

*the opening instrumental bit—organ? electronica? whatever, it’s short, not too long, but intrigues me immediately
*the breath before the first word--fuck, I’m lost in his BREATHING before the singing has even begun
*the drum/beat—moves me every time…I've listened so many times today, my heartbeat is synched to it now!!buh-bu-b-BUM…buh-bu-b-BUM (where’s that new bum pic, lol?)
*the voice—PLEASE. Emotional. Vulnerable. Intense. Low register, high register, soaring glory notes. And he should always do his own harmonies IMO. I notice new notes every time I listen.
*the bridge—beautiful, simple--lyrics, melody, the whole thing. I really hope he’s responsible for the bridge and gets credit for it.
*the production—perfect. Finally, a balance between the “sounds” Adam likes and the beauty of that voice.

ITA with everyone about this song being an earworm. It’s not a classic, it’s not going to be his biggest song ever,* but it’s GREAT for Adam’s purpose--it’s going to be a radio hit! Adam wants to be a POP star and this is a fan-fucking-tastic single to further that goal. It “fits” on radio.

*One day he is going to create a truly iconic song. It probably WON”T “fit on radio”—but it will be so undeniably mind-blowingly GREAT and SPECIAL that we will all recognize it as iconic. Maybe it’s already on Trespassing—can’t wait to find out! But if not, I’ll know it’s going to happen sooner or later.
It’s inevitable. And in the meantime, I will LOVE hearing BTIKM on the radio!
I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY FOR HIM! AND FOR US!

I'll never get caught up, but I am so glad I am here to "talk" today!

OMG -- the breath

and

Our Love Thump Thump Thump

Honest opinion?

Not my fav Adam song (upon first 10 20 listens

), in particular not fond of the computer-ish synth at the very beginning, although I really like the chorus.

However, it sounds very ready-for-radio which is what's important.

I'll wait for my sure-to-be favorite deep album tracks. ;D

It's okay, I spent the day with my son and was gushing over BTIKM, he really liked WWFM. I sent him the link when I got home and asked him to call me after listening to it at least twice. :'(He didn't like it, thought it was boring :'(

He listens to the pop stations here in Phoenix, sure hope Phoenix is on board this time for playing Adam's songs. Not so great last era on our pop stations. He did say let me know when his next song is out because I did really like WWFM. Guess it's a start :-/
