There are so many of these around that I've lost count  . But just adding this one here anyway, as it is made to one of my very favourite songs by Jenni Vartiainen. What is the name of this song? She is on itunes but the songs are in Finnish (?) - love it and would love to purchase  Yes, her songs are all in Finnish. This one is "Missä muruseni on". |

Wow this is exciting that the GNT CD/DVD is moving up on Amazon, but I'm wondering what's spiking the sells, when it was like in the 50's just a few days ago... I was checking the discussion threads on amazon and it seems it started climbing around the time that adamofficial started streaming it and also the EW review had come out. |

It'll help calm those gerbils down, ya know???  |

Adam can perform in a campy style, this is true. But I don't think of the songs as campy, which is what he is saying about the album. Think of Music Agan, when he did it on The CBS Early Show. That was not campy at all. The only songs, that to me, might be slightly campy are FYE and IIHY. But that is only when I think about the videos. Before I had the visuals of these music videos, I never thought of either song as campy. The first time he performed Soaked, he was campy. But I don't think any of us would feel that song is a campy song, now. I think Strut is always campy. I can't imagine it being de-campized. Adam could do it acoustic and take it down to a mid-tempo ballad and the total campiness would still shine through.
I wanna see you
Strut, strut, strut
Come on walk for me
Strut, strut strut
How you wanna be
Everybody's looking for some love
but they don't know
how to let it all hang out
and that's why they're solo (solo, solo)
Don't want to be so low (solo, solo)
Don't wanna be so lowThat is just plain, wonderful high-camp!! |

[laugh] I come on and everyone disappears! [grins] Tis ok. I got my fix. Now must drag the hubby and kid inside and get ready for bedtime. They're outside trying to chase the moon. I'm still here! I'm watching "Hung" on HBO, which I've never seen before. If Adam ever did a role like this.  DED. |

This DVD must be a wonderful reminder for the glamily of their magical time touring together. I love how all of them seem to care about each other and stay in touch. Funny - I read this, and for a moment I thought you were talking about US! The magical time we had, experiencing the tour together. I, too, love how we care about each other and stay in touch . . . How are you doing??? |

Thank you so very much for posting this! I see you mentioned many of these videos around, I have not watched any except this one and I loved it! Guess I had better check youTube for more. This song is beautiful and I loved the video. Long day at work, just getting home to check in, had to stop on this page to send you  , I wish you would post more of these videos. I truly enjoyed watching it. |

Oh, I think a lot of the songs are campy, personally, especially when you watch Adam perform them, and I mean this as a compliment--they're funny and charming and a little willfully bizarre. Just a couple of examples of the top of my head--Music Again, and Strut. Watch Adam perform either of those songs, with the strutting about and the elaborate eye roles and the put on accents and occasional (for lack of a better word) "broadway" intonation to the singing and I think they are wonderful camp at its finest! (Like a lot of moments in Freddy Mercury's performances). The GN Live Strut is a perfect example, for me, of a camp performance by Adam (and while I agree California Girls is a little campy, I don't find Tik Tok that campy at all, just more straightforward tongue in cheek, perhaps). To be honest, I've had to swallow my protests a few times lately when I've heard Adam talking about Album 2, and saying it will be more honest and less camp, because to me camp and honest aren't mutually exclusive, especially in Adam, who pulls off camp with such natural charm that it feels like he's simply being a wonderfully exaggerated version of his own free self. I love Adam's campiness and that he doesn't deny himself it, and I hope he continues not to. But I understand of course what he means when he says that, and just remind myself of my total faith in him, and in his ability and intention to produce something wonderful and surprising. You want campy? I think this performance gave me the most laughs of the whole tour! Music Again, to me, is the song that expresses "campy" the most and this performance exhibits and demonstrates it to the max! Watch him with the towel. At one point he drops it & picks it up AGAIN! I will LOL forever at this! mariep, thank you, I hadn't seen this performance before -- this is priceless! And you're right -- it's him using that darned terrytowel facecloth like it's a feather boa, and then turning it back into a balck facecloth and STILL draping it over his sequins and glitter ... But tinafea and lynne nailed it, too. He keeps changing it up and that's a huge part of why we stay enthralled. And, as he said himself, his voice is the through-line. And his heart. |

Why does this make me smile -- (the evil side of me came out!!!)
10.I Remember Me
~ Jennifer Hudson
Release Date: March 22, 2011
11. Glam Nation Live
~ Adam Lambert
Release Date: March 22, 2011
Adam is releasing a DVD and live CD of a 16 month old album's tour. J.Hud is releasing her "highly anticipated" sophomore album with a promo single (R&B Hit) and radio support -- and they are battling for #10 on Amazon.
I have nothing against J.Hud but just loving this! Adam's DVD+CD is $6 more a unit and far lower cost. RCA and Adam will be smiling as they go to the bank. This probably insures that Adam gets Adam #3 even in the absolutely impossible case that Adam #2 doesn't sell. Longevity!!
Also, odd thing -- I now live mostly in North Ohio -- and my Targets and Walmart do not have Lee or Crystal but all have FYE. (also bastard album is gone up here). The only other Idols I found in stock were Carrie Play On, and inexplicably in Target -- Archie's OSOD and Taylor Hick's The Distance. No other Idols -- at all. This is the first time in 2 years there was no Daughtry.

I was checking the discussion threads on amazon and it seems it started climbing around the time that adamofficial started streaming it and also the EW review had come out. Started to move up after Idol -- then they continued to feed it. Reviews, live stream, twitter. But the other driver is that now is when you buy it to get it on 3/22/11 --- so part is just the release date. People know to wait for best deal. |
