Flawless vocals, high notes were perfection. You guys it was truly beautiful x'D
First high note Adam sang, Neil's gf turned to Sauli w/a look of astonishment & Sauli mouthed "I KNOW RIGHT" & his face was beaming w/pride!
And S was so grooving listening to BTIKM, bobbing his head, legs crossed and eyes crinkled in a smile :')
Adam only sang BTIKM, no interview with Jay. other guests were riveted listening to him
and S before Adam performed, laughed at a few things esp the animal vids and he squinted his eyes when laughing xD
FACT: Sauli was wearing red underwear ^_^

According to Twitter, Adam Lambert on The Tonight Show was the most important event of January 18, 2012.

He did sing it flawlessly though.


ohmook Danish
Taking back all the negative things I said about Adam Lambert's new single. His performance on Jay Leno was just vocally magnificent.



Toby Knapp's Live Blog

Toby Knapp live blogged the Leno performance on his blog here: www.hot995.com/pages/toby.html?article=9626541

The highlights:

12:32... and the set up... adam on stage at 12:33... this performance is asthetically pleasing, very adult sounding of Lambert... the demeanor is very mass appeal... it's almost impressive the reinventon of Lambert which is happening right now. He's going for a broader audience with his entire look and approach... the song is very intimate and hes' matching this tone...

12:35... it's always interesting to me to see how heavily produced stuff from Dr. Luke sounds when you actually put instruments and a band to it. they've nailed this as a live performance... now here come the Lambert vocal acrobatics... this dude has like some Mariah Carey someplace in there...

12:36... Leno is clearly impressed. THat was pretty vocally perfect...

Overall thoughts, this is a more subdued look for Lambert, no doubt part of a campaign to take him to a broader - more adult and grown and sexy and sophysticated audience. It showed his vocal depth and strength of performance. Welcome to an example of Lambert 2.0 and where things are going for him. It will be big to see how many views his performance gets via YouTube and VEVO when NBC posts the audio of his performance later tonight or tomorrow.

Killer setup for a single and album. And, Leno's consistantly #1, which is a great look, too. "






Talk about a showstopping performance.

Adam Lambert appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno to give the debut performance of his new single, “Better Than I Know Myself,” and there’s no other word to describe the performance other than absolute and total “slayage.”

From the finely tuned band, which includes new musical director Kevin Hastings, who used to work with Rihanna, to Adam displaying every peak and valley of his stunning voice, a debut performance couldn’t get any better. If we weren’t already in love, we’d be falling head-over-heels right about now.

Tim Foster from Pennyroyal clears up Skeleton Key Confusion
1.17.12 from Skins & Stones Facebook

Posted by: Pennyroyal Studio

Hey guys-
There has been a lot of talk about a possible Pennyroyal Signature Collection release of this key design for a few months. Here's how it went down... We made a prototype pendant from the design and Adam told us to hold off on it a few months ago because there was some other communication going on with Hans about plans for the key design. We didn't have any details but held onto the prototype, hoping to get approval from Hans to release the design as part of the charitable Signature Collection at a later date, but were not aware of the plans that Hans already had plans to release it with Skins & Stones. No hard feelings. We really dig the work of both Hans and Skins & Stones and will be telling people where to get this design they've been waiting very patiently for. Cheers!

FYI- Skins & Stones is releasing a skeleton key pendant. Hans is involved w S&S. I will not be releasing the key pendant. #noworries

I am still planning to release other designs with Adam, but they had other plans for this one that I was not aware of. #nohardfeelings

Adam is friends with Hans, Hans owns the key design and Hans is involved with Skins & Stones. They decided to release it.

Don't be bummed. Get it from them! Lots more stuff to come from me. Stick around.

I just posted a clearer explanation about the Skeleton Key Pendant.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
TAKE A MINUTE AND TELL THE US CONGRESS

Please don't censor the web!

Today’s Google page….



More info and sign the petition here: www.google.com/landing/takeaction/




Today will be a day without Wikipedia (except for Wikipedia emergencies VIA phone).

For example, check out the Adam Lambert Wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Lambert

You will get this message:

Imagine a World
Without Free Knowledge

For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia.”

If you live in the US, enter your ZIP Code and contact your elected officials.


More info….

About the action

• The Wikipedia community has blacked out the English version of Wikipedia for 24 hours on January 18th to raise awareness about legislation being proposed by the U.S. Congress — the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) in the U.S. Senate -- and to encourage readers to speak out against it. This legislation, if passed, will harm the free and open Internet. If you are in the United States, let your congressional representative know what you think of the proposed legislation by clicking here.

• The blackout will last 24 hours - from midnight to midnight EST (05:00 UTC Wed to 05:00 UTC Thu).

• This decision was made by Wikipedia’s global community of editors -- the people who built Wikipedia. The Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that operates Wikipedia, also opposes SOPA and PIPA, and supports the editors' blackout.

• SOPA and PIPA are real threats to the free and open Internet. Although recent media reports have suggested that the bills are losing support, they are not dead. On January 17th, SOPA's sponsor said the bill will be discussed and pushed forward in early February. PIPA could be debated in the U.S. Senate as soon as next week. There is a need to send a strong message that bills like SOPA and PIPA must not move forward: they will cause too much damage.

• Although the bills have been amended since their introduction, they are still deeply problematic. Among other serious problems in the current draft of the bills, the requirement exists for US-based sites to actively police links to purported infringing sites. These kinds of self-policing activities are non-sustainable for large, global sites - including ones like Wikipedia. The legislative language is ambiguous and overly broad, even though it touches on protected speech. Congress says it's trying to protect the rights of copyright owners, but the "cure" that SOPA and PIPA represent is worse than the disease.
