I WANT TO SMASHHHHHHHHHHHHH ALL THE HITSSSSS!!!!

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was Ilta-Sanomat reporter (the paper Sauli works for but I don't even doubt that Sauli would have informed of Adams arrival to her), to her Adam said it's not an interview. There were even not that many people, they kept their distance - those two teens were the most hyped ones. Most people shown there were other passangers, only that small group had come to see Adam. Well, we see things differently , and Adam handled that well.

Gotta go back to scripting... took a break.

Adam Lambert is back folks … but not in the way you might think. The first single from the glambot’s upcoming sophomore Lp Trespassing (Out March 20), ‘Better Than I Know Myself’ has landed, and let me just say, if you were expecting some radio-friendly club trash, you’re about to be disappointed. If you were hoping for something a little deeper than the shallow radio sludge of the moment from the singer though, YOU are about to be blown away. Okay, maybe ‘Blown Away’ is a bit too big of a statement, but considering the singles that filled Lambert’s 2009 debut, it accurately describes my lifted and inspired mood after hearing this particular track.


Lambert has returned with a perfect piece of pop music. A power ballad that soars in the right places, and hits low in some others, with a flawless bridge and some lyrical depth to spice up the flavor. As some of you may have heard, this Dr. Luke produced single was actually written over two years ago, the demo having made it’s way online earlier this month, and it’s clear to see why no one took the song. I’ll be honest, it’s dated. It’s not heavy on dance beats, steeped in sexuality, or shallow enough to come from one of the pop-tarts that rules the radio charts right now. In addition, the chorus is far too big for most of those female vocalists as well. Enter Adam. How dated this song is doesn’t seem to matter anymore, because Lambert managed to turn this dud of a demo, into a masterpiece.

What really makes ‘Better Than I Know Myself’ a perfect single though, is the depth. This isn’t your typical pop ballad about you did this, you ruined us. Instead, it’s Adam’s confession of sorts. The lyrics come from his own standpoint of being a bad boyfriend, or the reason for the failed relationship. In addition, Adam reels in the emotion on the chorus in an almost desperate cry for this love to return. That’s another reason this song reminds me of ‘Sleepwalker’ so much. It’s a connection through which we as fans can draw closer to Lambert, on a more real level. An honest level, so to speak.

I’ll be honest and say that i’m not sure this song will be the hit that it should be, because like I mentioned before, it lacks the trashy club feel that we all seem to love so much as consumers these days, and on the other hand, it doesn’t quite have the emotional range to be on the ballad level of singers like Adele or Florence Welch, who seemed to rule the airwaves in 2011. Although, that being said, i’ll go a step further and say this …. If Bruno Mars can go top 10 with a song like ‘It Will Rain’, I think ‘Better Than I know Myself’ should be able to do the same. The only snag will be whether American listeners can tune out their own ignorant views of Adam, and focus on the magic of this single.

Do You think the song will be a hit?

Score: 4/5
