I think it bodes well for Trespassing that even in that laid back crowd, with an acoustic version of a song no one had heard before, people were dancing almost in spite of themselves. There was one guy in the back who was INTO it. I know I had the Deskchair Inadvertent Boogaloo Bounce going on...  I hear ya... During the second afternoon interview, did I hear correctly when the DJ said that Adam was the first American artist invited to this festival? |

I'm in my happy place! ~1 minute of Trespassing is so much better then NO Trespassing To be able to listen and watch Adam sing in live time when I am somewhere in PA and he is somewhere in the UK in some random club in some ski resort BLOWS MY MIND!  Back to page 37 |

My aunt sure picked a rotten weekend to turn 90! I've been in Cleveland for two days with no access to ATOP and that sinking feeling you get when you know there will be hundreds of pages of awesome stuff to wade through. I did get to hear the songs and I looove acoustic BTIKM, think OOL is amazing with the piano accompaniment and can't wait for the full frontal assault that will be Trespassing on the album! Off to dive in!
Just saw that Madonna is releasing her music video on Feb 3. Damn.

Not surprising. That's the Friday before her Superbowl gig, right?
If she doesn't actively bitchface Will.I.am at least once on camera I will be v. surprised, because you know they threw that in there "just in case" the younger audience doesn't appreciate La M.

Since we were talking about our tendency to analyze every Adam word and performance, thought I would share what I just heard on PBS driving to pick up a pizza.
They were talking about wine. Seems there have been a number of "blind" wine tasting experiments where experts tasted a very cheap wine and a very expensive wine while being told they were both expensive bottles. On average, the "experts" could not tell the difference in taste quality. In another instance, the SAME wine was put in two different carafes to pour, and the "experts" couldn't tell they were the same, but were influenced in their opinion by the price they were told the wines cost. The more "expensive" wine was rated higher.
What has this to do with Adam, analyzing his voice, pop music, etc? We all have our preferences in music as well as wine. But, even music "experts" can be influenced greatly by what they are told about music, or how that music is presented. Frame Adam as the runner-up on a TV reality show that generally has non-descript, average singers who don't make it outside of reality TV, and they are likely to dismiss Adam, even after hearing him. Frame Adam as the theater kid posing as a rock star while screaming, and they will hear screaming and OTT drama, even when the voice is actually powerful, clear, ringing in tone and perfect for the song at that point. Frame Adam as the gay guy who kissed a dude and simulated oral sex on national TV, and people just don't like his voice --- tho they are not homophobic, mind you.
"Here's the new single by Katy Perry/Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars." "Ooh, I love her/him! All my friends watch their videos and trade their songs. This song is awesome!!!" "Here's the new single by Adam Lambert." "Ugh, that gay guy with the eyeliner who screamed on Idol? Hate the song."
Fact is, there are consumers out there who cannot tell much difference between voices, and they go with the masses when it comes to what songs they like. I think that is another reason that I analyze Adam's singing. I want others to listen critically, with new ears, paying attention to what makes the voice and the song special. Adam Music Appreciation 101. :-[
This is why I am so pleased to read "expert" after "expert" talking about Adam's incredible range, his power, his impeccable vocals, his being one of the best singers in the biz, etc. They are reframing Adam for the general public. Pair that with the classy, chic, sophisticated, mature Adam in Era 2, and maybe people will HEAR him differently, and appreciate his talent.
