I hope he stays healthy, too, because has a full schedule before and after the KOKO live show. I know some of the stuff has been pre-taped, but still, there's a lot on his plate. That German show outfit was perfect. Fit exactly right. Hair, etc., perfect, too. Been listening to the songs when I can. Figuring out my favorites.

Guys, I have a request and advice from Shosh. I promised to spread the word. I asked her what the best way to promote Adam and High Drama is. Simply put: buy the physical album. Streaming is good but this is the most important thing we can do. Please RT! @4gelly @adaml_Daily

Wow, that timelapse video was so interesting! just over half way through you can see him nod off a few times...really snaps back once or twice lol. Poor thing...he will want to sleep for a good week when this promo push winds down! whew! I didn't see that, but didn't he say somewhere that the makeup/transformation took something like 4 hours? |

I am losing track of all the events! Can the calendar be used?
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but there will be an Adam article in the next People Magazine. Pink is on the cover.

If buying physical copies is the best way to support Adam, I will buy a few more within this first week of release. Does anybody know if it matters where we buy/order? So far I have ordered from Adam store but Amazon my ship faster.
Edit: Never mind....The physical CDs at the Adam store are SOLD OUT, both standard and signed. At least as of now. Vinyls are still available - clear, standard, and signed. Amazon is almost sold out on regular physical CDs must have stocked up again on regular physical CDs and the price dropped a teeny bit. I'll head over right now. Got a couple.

Just ordered mine from Amazon...tried to order the MP3 from Amazon and it gave me an error. I'm reluctant to use my Itunes account because they've lost $20 from my account...not sure where it went.
So physical CD it is.

I didn't see that, but didn't he say somewhere that the makeup/transformation took something like 4 hours? I didn't see that either, I don't think he could with all those people playing with his face. Maybe it was just movement of his head back and forth while they were putting on the makeup. I also think I recall an interview where he said 4 hours to put it on. One of the radio interviews. BTW - the clean, before the make up face is gorgeous. He is just a beautiful man. |

I didn't see that, but didn't he say somewhere that the makeup/transformation took something like 4 hours? Watch the YouTube version and make it full page. There’s a transition place in the middle of the video when he comes back with the white bib on. Watch shortly after that transition and you can see his eyes are almost closed and there’s one place in particular where his head snaps back and that’s what happens when you drift off and you catch yourself when you jerk back. It’s fast because it’s sped it up but if you watch his face around that time you can see it is quite clear. |

BBCAdam Lambert: 'I didn't think I'd have a shot' Adam Lambert juggles his time between Queen, his solo career, The Voice US and ITV talent show Starstruck
Once upon a time, just a couple of years into his career, Adam Lambert's record label asked him to record an album of 1980s new-wave cover versions.
It wasn't a terrible idea. Anyone who'd heard Lambert cover Tears For Fears' Mad World on American Idol knew how suited he was to that era of melancholy synth-pop.
But at that stage, two albums into his career, a covers album seemed like capitulation. Worried it would damage his credibility, the singer quit the label.
"This is the only kind of release they are prepared to support," he told fans in an open letter, but "my heart is simply not in doing a covers album".
A decade later, his position has changed. Lambert is arguably more famous as Queen's new frontman than as a solo artist; and his new album, High Drama, is entirely comprised of covers.
"Well, look, I mean, timing is integral," he protests. "At the time they wanted me to do that, I was not interested and that was that."I'm at a point now where the idea came up, and I thought, 'That sounds like a fun challenge'. The idea was to find some songs and flip them on their their heads so they sounded like totally new pieces of music." Those heads have been well and truly flipped. On his new album, Bonnie Tyler's Holding Out For A Hero becomes a hungry electro-pop anthem, Lana Del Rey's West Coast gets a grungy blues makeover, and Culture Club's Do You Really Want To Hurt Me is injected with a creeping sense of paranoia. "I learned with Queen that the way to make the songs your own is to stop listening to the original for a little while and discover what it means for you," he says. 'Full of doubt'During his stint on American Idol in 2009, Lambert was out to his family and friends, but the show only made veiled references to his sexuality. Even when they did, the tone was questionable: In one episode, Simon Cowell slyly expressed concerns about the singer's "theatricality".
When pictures emerged of him dressed in drag, kissing his ex-boyfriend at a US music festival, it made headlines in the US. Fox News called the photos "embarrassing", and commentators said the fallout cost him the American Idol crown.
"It was stressful and it was confusing," Lambert previously told the BBC. "I was like, 'What am I supposed to do?'"
He emerged from the TV show with a major label record deal but, even then, questions lingered about his commercial viability.
"A lot of people in the industry, even though they were excited for me and wanted to see me, they were full of doubt," he says.
"It was a very interesting time. if I look back at the headlines or the questions I was asked, you wouldn't dare do that today."
Lambert was vindicated when his debut album, For Your Entertainment, went to number one - selling twice as much as Idol victor Kris Allen.
