It's no secret we love Adam Lambert and the energy and joy he brings to the otherwise sterile, manufactured world of modern pop music. But he's such a worldwide whirling dervish that it's sometimes difficult to keep track of where and when he touches down. So we're trying out a new weekly feature: Hump Day With Adam Lambert, which will hopefully keep us up-to-date with his appearances, performances, and interviews. And on those weeks when Adam's talents lie dormant, we'll bring you classic pics and performances.
Adam is in Russia this week, and we have a collection of pics culled from Glam Nation, and Adam's Instagram account.
These pics and captions are from Adam's vacation in Bali, from his Instagram account.

Below you can see a news report of Adam arriving in the Ukraine. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Glambert is the universal language.

And here's your PIC OF THE WEEK!
And now we have Round Four of The Ultimate Adam Tournament, where you get to decide the greatest Adam song (so far). We'll have eight preliminary rounds, and the eight winners will move on to the quarter-finals. Last week "Sleepwalker" went up against "Cuckoo." And the winner is ...
"Cuckoo" moves on to the quarter-finals!
The Round Four contenders this week are ... "If I Had You" Vs. "Chokehold." Choose wisely! Next week we'll have two new contenders!
"If I Had You" was the third and final worldwide single from For Your Entertainment, and to date, is his last song to hit the Billboard Top 40, peaking at #30. It's a perfect showcase for Adam's high energy and theatrical flair.
In my review of Trespassing, I gave "Chokehold" three out of five Fierce Adam Eyes, and wrote that it was an "Atmospheric but standard ballad about a strained and smothering relationship. Not a bad song, but one of the lesser entries on the album." I think I may have been too harsh. True, some of the other stellar songs on the album overshadow it, but standing alone, it's easier to appreciate the urgency.
