LOL What do you mean what song? BTIKM!! THE song! ;D   Besides the bridge, which kills me dead every time, I am starting to flail big time over the beat during, "I know it gets hard sometimes but I could never leave your side no matter what I say"..... it builds and builds....then the chorus! I swear, this song is so danceable and I mean SEXY dancing!! I wish I was 20 years younger so I could unabashedly just grind my body into hubby's on the dance floor!  (Oops, did not mean to say that out loud!) And I say WHY NOT ? ;D |

Awww man I'm thinking that everytime we'll here Adam sing this song live, he will sing the last chorus differently every time and it will always be AMAZING!! GAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I agree, Gelly! This song has so much potential. Adam will recreate BTIKM time and time again..acoustic anyone? Oh, in regard to my comment about Adam shaving his hair yesterday, WOW..I was only having fun...I like his new hair, but reading back into last night's thread after I left...WTF? I stand chastized. Adam's hair is NOT shaved..it is a close cut..sheesh..chill..  |

livingoffofnothingbutpop.wordpress.com/2011/12/18/adam-lambert-better-han-i-know-myselfsingle-review/Adam Lambert – Better Than I Know Myself(Single Review) Forget Christmas because Adam Fucking Lambert is back!The glam rock queen has not released new music since his debut album in late 2009, excluding the amazing Billboard remix of Aftermath earlier this year, but now he is returning with a brand new single off his upcoming sophomore release Trespassing. Over the past two years my appreciation for For Your Entertainment has grown vastly. The mixture of slick, dirty tracks are still as fresh and hot as they were the first day I heard them. But what really set him aside was that he was able to keep up this beautified sexy persona whilst remaining completely classy and that was a rarity back then and still is today. So, will he be keeping the sex appeal second time around? Not so much, well with this single anyway. But that doesn’t mean that is it is anything less than amazing because this genuinely this. To get you in the right frame of mind think Whataya Want From Me but bigger – much, much bigger. I’m going to jump ahead and call this the male version of Teenage Dream. Really though, Adam himself is the one responsible for just how good this is. His sharp, soaring vocals boost Better Than I Know Myself to another level whilst slaying all your faves in the process. “Cold as ice and more bitter than a December/Winter Night, that’s how I treated you,” he snaps over the icy trips. And with a chorus so powerful and honest, its hard not to be moved by it. This once again solidifies my statement of Lambert being one of, if not, the best male artist in the male today.Now that the ‘Idol’ label has wore off and the buzz of his debut is well and truly over, he now has to try and avoid the sophomore slump and show that he can compete with other credible artists. By and large, he certainly knows what he is doing. If anything is to go by what we’ve heard, we are in for a superb album next March. Prepare yourself because I think we’ll all be hearing “Better than I know MYSEEEEEEEELF!” across radio stations all over the world very soon.Welcome back Adam, you have a hit on your hands.Rating: 4.5/5 more.. I love it that these reviews (at least most of them ;D) are pointing out, that what makes this song so good, is Adam and his voice. |

Eh whatever. He's fully entitled not to like the song, not even all of us like it. I'm just happy that pop music bloggers are digging it. I think this single may be harder for people who really follow Adam and love the way he surprises; some want a song that equals his extraordinary talent and his potential to be iconic and forget that he is not iconic, and that he is just beginning his pop career, and beginning it with some unique challenges. If Adam can have some broad based success now, he will have the financial security and the clout he needs to step further and further outside of the box and surprise. I am sure that there are some cuts on this album that are already beginning to do that, that will feel more "fresh" and more "worthy" to some. But, like so many have said so well, Adam and his label are releasing a "safer" song, strategizing it will have the best chance of taking Adam further along to where they want him to be. The closer he comes to that place, the more freedom he will have to experiment. He tweeted gaga that he was inspired by the the artistic freedom she had on her latest video, for example. Im sure he wants that artistic freedom, but he doesn't have it yet. My hope is that this song will do well enough that they can follow it up with something a little more surprising right before the album drops. I think they have those songs, ones some will find more fresh, but that this release is the strategy they chose to play out. That being said, I like the song, relate to the chorus, and LOVE the voice. In concert, Adam infuses all his songs with surprises. That is where he is safe and can be spontaneous. Clearly, he was not safe with the broad public at the AMAs in era 1, or with radio when he released fye as his first single. Therefore, it makes sense that Adam/label are trying a different out- of-the- gate approach this time. When I read so much positive reaction from non-stans, I feel very hopeful. |

I kind of hesitate to ask this, but it may be the only way to get an answer, "Does anyone know why Mika left?" All his posts say "guest" now, and he is not listed as a member.  |

I'll bet big, big money that Adam's got something on that album that's sexier than ANY of his previous songs - I just feel it - but, in the meantime, yeah, I'm glad this reviewer sees the song as "genuinely amazing." |

bani_ bani Aww, they are dancing!! Even the old lady is standing up! hahaha bit.ly/tgGcdX1 minute ago  adamme..... I was actually just asking if that was the woman in the picture who's standing with anybody elses. But now I'm confused with your comment .. Sorry adamme, If I offended sorry... I was "attempting" to be humerous, as looking one's age is realtive and yes we are all beautiful as people. Younger people often think an older person is older than they really are. I was implying that most 60 year olds are still very youthful looking in comparison to the lovely "lady in red". And as she has a cane...most/not all, but most 60 year olds are pretty good at "kicking up their heels"/dancing etc.! haha ... I actually didn't really pay attention to this picture. I just remember there's one lady in red coat in the pic so my mind automatically went there. |

The Pharrel song with the bass line of "Another One Bites the Dust" and Niles' "Shady" sound very promisingly sexy!!! |
