Album Release Info? Could it be November 8th? Is it November yet?


MonsterFMGroup Adam Lambert to release first single from his new album late August / early September.

MonsterFMGroup @sagajo Album is set for November but the first single will be released earlier.

4evrmomof4@MonsterFMGroup wouldn't only the single be eligible due to 9/30 cutoff date, or would the entire album...

MonsterFMGroup @4evrmomof4 still waiting to hear about the album but you're right with the cutoff

Remember; things always change in the music industry. It's not official until you hear it from the artist or label.

satanicfloret@MonsterFMGroup so you are saying this is just hype?

MonsterFMGroup @satanicfloret we always try to provide correct info 99.9% of the time. The other 1% we create the hype :)

MonsterFMGroup @satanicfloret thanks, we do love Adam Lambert & his music.

Story of Adam Inspiation thanks to Angelina Kalahari!

Wow Gloria, what a fab competition! 
 
Well, Adam has been such a massive influence on my life, that I feel compelled to send you my bit, regardless of whether or not I win anything! 
 
Firstly, I thought I'd send you what I'd posted on my page on ALFC, because it explains how I 'met' Adam and what that has meant to me, so here is an amended version (my name online is Starlight and my twitter name is Starlight8AL):
 

 

Whilst recovering from an operation, I was bored silly, flicking through the TV channels, when I stumbled upon Adam’s audition on AI8. I could see he was an experienced performer by the way he walked and moved, and immediately fell in love with his personality when he said: “I’m not skeerd.” But I’ll never forget when he started to sing Bohemian Rhapsody. That’s when I knew I was watching someone very, very special, and nearly threw a pillow at the TV when Simon started humming and hahhing about Adam being too theatrical! Needless to say, I’ve continued to be mesmerized by his voice ever since then!


The human voice, to me, is the ultimate instrument and I've been fascinated by it since I started singing myself, aged five. But to my mind, Adam’s taken singing and performing to a whole other level - his body of work on American Idol is a masterclass in modern singing and stage performance skillsl! And not only that - he really is an exceptionally powerful human being - I have personally been inspired by him to be artistically less fearful and to take more risks with my repertoire and presentation.


I’m enormously grateful that I have survived my serious illness, and fully recovered once again, not only can I share the Adam experience with all of my fellow Adam addicts, but I still sing a little when I can, write when I want, and try, by teaching singing, to inspire others to discover joy through their own vocal instrument - thereby, hopefully helping to nurture any future ‘Adams’! (Not really - he's a one-off!) But I'm so aware now - even more than before - of the enormous effect, as their singing teacher, I might have on my students and on their futures. And just recently, two of my young male students have come out to me first as being gay - what an honour that they felt comfortable enough to share that with me! Of course, having worked in the theatre for most of my life, I'm used to working with many gay and lesbian performers and backstage people, but I have never before had someone come out to me before. And because of Adam's amazing example and work with The Trevor project and the It Get's Better campaign, I had him and the video to refer them to. It's been wonderful to be able to share in their journeys as they continue to become more of who they really are.


And it’s been such a relief to discover and befriend so many wonderful, supportive Adam fans, who, like me, have never before followed any particular artist (well...Prince, but that was nothing like the Adam experience!), or joined a fan club, or felt compelled to participate in discussions and voice their passionate feelings for an artist in internet chat rooms - just as well, because my family, friends and colleagues all think I’ve lost the plot! But how wonderful to have so many new friends I’d otherwise never have met - all thanks to Adam! I wonder if he realizes how much the love he advocates are spreading like ripples throughout the world. In an interview he once mentioned that, although it sounds clichéd, it would be great to have world peace - well, I’d like to think it could happen this way - music is a powerful medium!


Born in Namibia, I have lived in a few countries around the world, but currently I live in London, UK, with my martial-arts-mad hubby and my gorgeous Bengal cat, Dame Evee.


On alternate Tuesdays you can catch me talking about Adam's voice - and other related topics - at 10:30pm UK time on www.mywordradio.com and 10:00am UK time daily for the rest of that week. You can also check out my programme, The Sound Bath, on http://soundbath.wordpress.com where you can chat, leave comments and ask me anything.


Favourite Adam sayings: “More is more” and “Why not?”


Of course, Adam is not only beautiful inside and out,



he is funny,



he's the greatest entertainer in the universe



and oh good lawd! he's the sexiest man alive!

Adam has also been responsible for making a long standing dream of mine finally come true. I have always, always wanted to visit New Orleans, but somehow never got around to it, but when I discovered he was taking the GNT there last year, I simple HAD to go, especially as the concept for the show, and one of my favourite songs from FYE, Voodoo, was roughly based in New Orleans. And what a perfect place to hear that phenomenal vocal instrument live for the first time! I was dumbstruck and speechless and will never forget that experience as long as I live. I also made dear friends during that trip, whom I treasure and without whom, as with Adam, I cannot now imagine my life. I have since been lucky enough to see him live a few more times and once, also to meet him.

When I was approached around a year ago to present a programme on opera on radio in the UK, it was a no-brainer to help the radio peeps realize that a much better topic for such a programme would be one about the human vocal instrument instead, and of course, it would also give me the opportunity to talk about Adam's voice - how could I not? His voice, in my opinion, is the best I've ever experienced. And it is my particular pleasure to help introduce his superior artistry on UK radio. But without Adam in my life, I don't think I would have wanted to present the radio programme and nearly turned it down - it's only when the station agreed that I could also talk about his voice, that I decided to go ahead with it.

But nothing, not meeting all the wonderful Adam fans from around the world, not writing numerous blogs on the technical aspects of his voice, not having a little more time in my life to follow this wonderful artist, could alleviate the pain I felt at not being able to sing any longer. But I can honestly say that Adam filled that void where my voice used to be and I will always be grateful to him for being such an effective painkiller. Listening to him sing, I experience such happiness that it made it OK to stop, and because my voice is still attached to my body, in the way that Adam's and most classical singers' voices are, I experience every note, every nuance, every subtlety of Adam's exquisite instrument inside my own body, too.

Now, two years on, however, my voice is slowly coming back, albeit in a different way, and Adam, with his finely honed classical instrument, has inspired me to take a good long hard look at the repertoire I used to sing and to be completely honest about what my soul wants me to sing now. 


I know I'm not finished with the classical repertoire, but for the first time in my life, I have the courage to have a go at singing a wider repertoire. I've even sung some 'Adam' songs, like Soaked and One and had wonderfully positive responses to those. And I've also been inspired to look at writing my own music - music that perfectly suits my voice, and that speaks from my soul - something I seriously doubt I ever would have contemplated before. 


He has inspired me anew to look at my own artistry, to not doubt my own instincts, and no longer to pander to an unquestioning adherance to the very strict classical training, but instead to allow myself the freedom to express myself more clearly, and more importantly for any artist, to allow myself the freedom to fail, and thereby creating fearless art. I was therefore able to sing - for the first time really since my recovery - 'live' during my last radio show entitled: "The Accompanist and The Singer". So the fearlessness has already started!

Adam has a lot to answer for!

Lots of love,

Angelina

Poems Inspired by Adam thanks to Susan
(entry in the Adam inspiration contest)

Time For You

“I actually think it’s time, probably, currently, for someone like you.”

                                                                    --Randy Jackson

When we first heard your voice

time stood still.

For a split second

we were transfixed.

That note made ripples

like a pebble tossed

into a pool of crystal clear water.

At first, only a minor disturbance.

With raised eyebrow and

slight turn of the head, we took notice.

But with each song, we rode the waves

of your journey to fame

crashing now upon

the sands of our souls

eroding our negativity.

We are somehow smoother,

our edges softened.

Yes, it is time for someone like you.

Our legends have fallen

one by one.

Our world, ripe,

swollen with tears.

You filled the void.

It is time for us to hold hands

join you in the dance.

You give, we take,

we give back to you,

rejoicing in

the infinite exchange of love

from your throat

to our ears

from our hearts

back to yours

together our spirits soar

and your voice is carried

on the wings of time

for all eternity.

Rock Star Rising

(To Adam Lambert)

He fell to the earth

in a beam of starlight

glittered in stardust

born of Apollo and Aphrodite

Gods of music and love.

He was merely a mortal

a stranger to us

in a time hungry for heroes.

A vision with hair blacker than black

and eyes of a blue that has no name

his beauty was blinding.

Assigned number 1877

he stood before the judges

eager to earn his title of Rock God,

to prove his worth

and turn his number

into a name that will be remembered.

As the very first note escaped his throat

we were transformed into a state of rapture,

taken on a journey to ecstasy,

brought to a heightened state of mind

and we were touched,

somehow changed,

forever.

Yes, he won his golden ticket

to the star-studded path

and we were ready to stand by him,

travel with him on his journey to fame.

His songs created sparks,

which turned into flames

that consumed us

igniting our passions that

were dormant and buried

deep within us for so long.

His music ripped out our emotions

brought them upon the stage

as he held up a mirror to our souls

showing us our joy, our pain,

our sensuality, and humanity.

His rhinestone belt buckle

drew us into the orbit of his hips

and thighs enveloped in black leather.

Young girls swooned into a frenzy of fantasies,

grandmothers remembered their loins

and the lonely learned to love again.

He has become our Rock God,

our idol and hero.

His star is rising,

his voyage just begun. and

we wait breathless for more,

impatient for his immortality.

Adam Lambert 101: An introduction


http://adamquotedaily.wordpress.com/adam-lambert-101/


-------------------------------------
Alice said: Gloria, thanks for creating this Sauli site. Adam’s heart eyes with Sauli tell the whole story. I love them together. They seem so right for each other, far beyond the fascinating fashion coincidences. Adam said this time he’s looking for someone who could take care of him this time, with so much going on in his life. Enter Sauli. Delightfully calm and unphased by all the madness that surrounds Adam, he seems to offer Adam peace, trust, support, and a refreshing love that comes from a good, unneedy place. Aside from an obvious attraction, they are good together because both are artists with strong support from family and friends, wry sense of humor, gift of gab, sunshiny personality, love of dance, compassion, kindness, humility, et al. Sauli and Adam are kindred spirits. Thank you Universe for bringing them together. I hope they always want each other as much as they do now. Adam, we know why your heart is full and we are overjoyed by your bliss.
