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.
The big news this week was the announcement that Adam and long-time boyfriend Sauli have officially called it quits, but remain close friends. This week's hump day will celebrate their relationship, with pics culled from Glam Nation and Getty.
First up are pics and captions from Adam's Instagram account, as he and Sauli poke a little fun at the breakup publicity.
"We'll show you turbulent!"
"Him?"
Sorry, Adam, But I do make passes at men who wear glasses.
And here's your Adam and Sauli PIC OF THE WEEK!
And now we have Round Seven 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 "Trespassing" went up against "Strut." And the winner is ...
"Trespassing" moves on to the quarter-finals!
The Round Seven contenders this week are ... "Shady" Vs. "Fever." Choose wisely! Next week we'll have two new contenders!
In my review of Trespassing, I gave "Shady" four stars, saying "With a bass so dirty it deserves a tongue bath, Adam declares that hunting season is open ... but it ain't a rabbit hole he's looking for.."
Co-written by Lady Gaga"Fever" has an unmistakable Gaga feel, and coupled with Adam's ferocious vocals, it's a match made in Glitter Heaven. Inexplicably, it was only released as a single in New Zealand.
