96.5 TIC Spring Fling

SHORTS!!! Below-the-knee rocker length, but that still comes as quite the shock. There's still daylight and the weather's hot so it's a logical choice. The trashy loud vest with dollar signs however, isn't. Still you have to love that Adam doesn't take himself too seriously, and this is one of those hilarious WTF? outfits that works in setting a fun mood.



The set starts with a funky-as-hell

Sirius XM OutQ

I'd been waiting on this set of performances for ages, hoping that Sirius XM would post them on their channel but they still haven't appeared. Right now we only have the audio captured by @ScorpioBert. This set was performed back in February at the studio's Fishbowl for The Morning Jolt with Larry Flick.



The set starts with WWFM, the arrangement sounds lovely, especially the piano. Adam uses

Never Close Our Eyes Music Video

I've finally gotten round to doing my write-up so apologies for the delay. Here's the video with my review:



We already saw the intro of this from the teaser so now we get the full thing. Adam lives in a gloomy colourless dystopian facility where everything is uniform and linear apart from the slaves that inhabit it. But even they move like robots, living a regimented existence of repetition

98.5 KRZ's Summer Smash Wilkes-Barre

Adam looks fantastic in off-horizontal stripes under a black jacket that still has a black armband. Here's a playlist of my video picks:



The set starts as usual with Trespassing which has a wow moment in that glory note that is so high and sustained. Kickin' In is very camp with OTT expressions, wiggly-ass dancing and great vocals. The sound of the bass on this version of Shady sounds most

95.5 WPLJ Scott & Todd's Super Summer Blast-Off

For an early morning gig, Adam looks chipper with an unusual sartorial choice of checked shirt over a white T-shirt. The crowd looks a little different to the usual flailing females, with quite a few stationary blokes in baseball caps near the front.



A strong Trespassing starts the set before the shirt comes off to go round Adam's waist for WWFM. It's a bit disconcerting that the crowd, for

Watch What Happens Live

Adam appeared on Bravo TV's Watch What Happens Live with fellow guest Beth Ditto. Here's the full show:



Adam's appearance here is made of win and is a right treat. He seems to feed off Beth's energy, showing his humour and charm. The snarky side that hasn't been seen for a while comes out to play. He isn't afraid to get his claws out for some priceless moments but still stays classy. Love this!

Q102 Springle Ball

Adam has new ash blonde highlights up top with those stars and stripe trousers and blue jacket. The crowd is well up for it, egging him on and he's returning the energy. He isn't happy with the sound for much of Trespassing and Kickin' In. Despite myself, I'm singing along to Naked Love, finding that bit by bit I'm being ensnared. Even though WWFM is an old song, it's a highlight for me. The

AOL Sessions - Trespassing Promo

Here's the AOL session that was originally recorded on 25th April. It's made up of NCOE, Trespassing, Cuckoo, Naked Love and Broken English. I've watched all of these through just the once so I'll only post brief first impressions for now.

Adam sounds incredible and looks fantastic despite my mild aversion to leopardskin. I'm so happy to get such a good quality recording of a live performance,

103.5 KTUphoria

Adam steps onto the stage donning a luminous yellow vest under a sleeveless leather jacket with very tight stars and stripes trousers.



First up we have Trespassing to set the mood and he sings a surprisingly high "GPS" line. It leads straight into Kickin' In. I like the verses but think the structure of the song needs tweaking to come alive. Perhaps another verse or a shortened repetition

Never Close Our Eyes - Video Teaser

Adam tweeted out a little preview of his upcoming music video for NCOE. We know how much he enjoys this part of making music so I'm sure he couldn't wait to share it with us:



It's only 17 seconds long but that 17 seconds of a rapid burst of scenes tells us a lot. It's set in sci-fi dystopia where Adam appears to be a prisoner living a regimented minimalist existence under constant surveillance

KISS 108 Concert 2012

For this concert, Adam's got the daytime rocker look nailed with a sleeveless hoody over a T-shirt adorned with native American patterns. Here's the video along with my comments below:



I think Trespassing is one of the most enjoyable songs performed live and it's absolutely fantastic to see such a huge crowd getting into it and clapping along.

Kickin' In is a rocking version with great funk

Fantabuloso

The set was made up of Trespassing, Kickin' in, Shady, WWFM, Cuckoo and NCOE. We finally have acceptable sound so here's my playlist and comments below:



Adam is dressed all in black apart from a leopardskin shirt. I wonder whether the black armband is for Donna Summer. Those trousers are impossibly tight!

Trespassing is fun and cheeky, make sure you catch that pelvic action just before the

American Idol - Never Close Our Eyes

Adam's third return to AI to perform was something that had been on the cards for quite some time and one that I'd really been looking forward to. When Adam's on the Idol stage, he's determined to give us an audiovisual feast, never failing to impress. Who can forget that swirling vortex of WWFM or the dark intimate set of Aftermath? I was very excited about what Adam would bring to the stage

I Heart Radio - Trespassing Promo

For this concert, Adam looks fresh faced with lively hair. He's dressed mainly in black with a splash of colour from his silk leopardskin shirt:



Adam camps up Trespassing with his fun and fierce facial expressions to make it a blast. I got my wish where he left out the second "crack", leaving it to the backing singers. The high notes are always so impressive for this song, bright and brilliant

MLB Fan Cave

Here's a video of the recorded stream from the concert which I'll update when we get better quality ones coming in, along with brief comments below:



It seems that Adam has decided to invert his outfit from the earlier GMA performance, going with what looks to be the trouser half of the infamous Horse Suit Jacket and all black up top.

Trespassing - Adam's voice is incredible in this. A great

GMA - Neigh-ver Close Our Eyes

THAT FUCKING JACKET!!! That jacket is LOUD. Adam Lambert has a fucking horse on his jacket! Well I didn't expect that one seeing as this era is supposed to be more toned down. Love the bold fashion choice and he looks so fresh. Here are the videos:



I find it very strange that NCOE is referred to as the first single from Trespassing. Are we supposed to have forgotten about BTIKM?

This version

The Human Guy that Sings - Chelsea Lately

Adam was interviewed on Chelsea Lately last night and although it was great to see him, I didn't enjoy the interview much more than the previous appearance as I find her manner too abrasive.



Adam opts to wear a french navy jacket over a starred leopardskin T-shirt with black trousers and boots. I'm not keen on the colour combo, probably because of my aversion to leopardskin. It does go well

Trespassing Album Stream with Lyrics and Review

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! Here's the official stream, along with all the lyrics as far as I can make out below:

Trespassing by adamofficial
I'm really impressed with this album. It's quite different and riskier than what I was expecting, the songs loosely divided into upbeat dance and emotional ballads, flowing fairly well and all threaded through with Adam's vocals and an electronic edge to the

Radio Promo Picks

This is long overdue but I still think it's a necessary post. Adam's radio gigs went by in a bit of blur and it was hard work staying on top of it all. But I have managed to watch and sort everything now, so here's a playlist of my recommendations:




I hope you'll find these highlights easily digestible, useful for catching up with, and finding for future reference. I tried my best to narrow

Jimmy Kimmel Live

This post is very late but after watching and reviewing every single one of those radio gigs, I needed a bit of a break. You can always watch all the latest performances on Adam Lambert Performances when this blog isn't up to date. Here's the set from Jimmy Kimmel Live, which featured a set of five songs, all from Trespassing:



This is the first fully plugged-in version of Never Close Our Eyes
