Adam Lambert's new single art inspires a limerick

adam-lambertAdam Lambert has just released the cover art for his new single, “If I Had You,” and naturally, it inspired a limerick. Give it a quick read, then post your own (non-beastly) response in the comments.

There once was a singer so glamorous
He left boys and girls feeling amorous
He sparkled like Windex
Unmeasured Glam Index
Can’t wait for his tour where he’ll jam for us

    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    Adam’s in black and sparkles
    For the cover of “If I Had You”

    • Tinybear

      Elizabeth…VERY COOL

    • Elena

      Good job Elizabeth ! Was the good one !

    • libraglam

      Nice! Oh, i am in love with that song from the beginning. It surely will be #1 Hit !!

  • Travis

    I hope this song make it to the top,
    Even though I despise most pop,
    Adam’s so fab,
    He never looks drab,
    He’s like a roller coaster that never will stop.

    • Q

      Oh this is much better than Slezak’s. Love.

    • Tinybear

      TRAVIS….I LIKEY

      • prgemgirl

        me likey too!!!!!! So nice of Michael to write that limerick though. Almost makes up for the times that i suspected (LOL) that he loves Kris more than Adam.

  • bdbrewr

    Where’s the new idolatry sleazak??

    • GinaBallerina

      Be patient – Slezak said Idolatry would be taking a week off. I’m sure it will be back and better than ever!

  • k

    Things it appears LOL is not a fan of: Adam Lambert, gay people, poetry and the english language

  • Yamina

    Adam’s so coy
    Always the boy
    He’s such a gay tool
    But nobody’s fool
    His make up screams tranny
    He likes it up the fanny!
    Oh boy says Adam
    Just call me Madame.

    • Louanne

      There are limiricks for people like you. Unprintable, unfortunately. Yours would start “There once was a (blank) called Yamina…”

      • Angel

        There once was a tool named Yamina
        Who spent most of the time spewing vermina
        No talent, no class, and incredibly crass
        Most people here thinks she’s a creepy wein-a

      • TK

        Angel that was fabulous darling! :)

      • M

        Hey TK I use fabulous and darling…you copying me? LOL

    • RyRyNYC

      OMG… hilarious, Yamina… I genuinely found this funny. And for the record I’m gay… and his make up does look like a tranny.

      • applethief

        oh RyRyNYC, what a pity!
        He brings hope to your community.
        He charms and his make up is sparkly.
        Too bad you don’t get it.
        Better crawl out of your closet and
        appreciate his beauty!;)
        ——————
        for the record, i am a chinese. this is the first time ever for me to write a limerick in english. (adam’s magic!)

        peace out! ~\(≧▽≦)/~

    • Marie

      I was wondering if homophobes were any good at limericks but this is only so-so.

  • Emily

    If I Had You cover
    someone’s a Michael Jackson lover
    influence is obvious
    although it’s nice I guess
    I just here for the music, borther

    • Emily

      brother. stupid typos

    • Svetique

      Absolutely! I, too, thought about Michael Jackson when I saw the cover.

  • Andrea D

    Forget the limerick- I wanted Soaked or Sleepwalker to be the next single. BOO

    • sonja

      Ditto! (But I love when Slezak gets all fangirly)

    • C

      Soaked is absolutely GORGEOUS–and so 80′s glam rock. Oh, well, I loved Queen’s stuff.

      • Purple Princess

        If you love Soaked, then you’ll love the bonus track to the UK release called Can’t Let You Go. It tears at my heart strings.

      • Canyon

        Absolutely agree! Adam is Freddie Mercury glam with Elvis Presley pipes [although Freddie also had superior vocals]. How lucky we are to have his career to follow and enjoy for this and future decades. We’ve been waiting far too long for a star of his magnitude.

    • Lily

      Am not sure whether those 2 fabulous songs (soaked, sleepwalker) would appeal to a broad public

  • jon

    This is so bad
    So very very bad
    Constent hype and promo is making me mad

    • kneipho

      My dearest Jon, is it so very hard

      To seal thy lips when faced with the Glam Bard?

      Or perhaps it’s more fun than just walking away

      to moan publicly all night and all day?

    • kneipho

      (just teasing, jon, everyone has a right to an opinion:))

    • libraglam

      Why do u have to search for ADAM’s article and moan ? Don’t you have anything better to do in life. Everyone has their enjoyment in life just like us who Enjoy ADAM and we are so so happy happy happy happy….Why don’t you go to some artist that make you happy and share with them instead of upsetting to see people happy with ADAM. ADAM is ours, go and find YOURS!! if you don’t see anything worthed in life then i suggest: Being selfish and kill yourself OR Being a priest devote your life to GOD to find other happiness. Your life is WORTHLESS to hide around the bush and be a hater.

  • midwifespal

    Oh dear, what a hateful tirade.
    To respond? Or to just let it fade?
    But our boy will be dandy–
    He’s divine pop-rock candy–
    He out-shines the bigot-brigade.

    • LolaforAdam

      Bravo! I love your response!

    • yappingcairn

      Love it, midwifespal!

    • Sarah

      Perfect! The hate-spewers are the nothing but trash and deserve no recognition. Karma will take care of them.

      • Sarah

        Um ignore the extra “the” lol.

    • mgk

      That was awesome. Love it!

    • Angel

      I love it too, midwifespal! Adam is awesome, and even the haters are so friggin’ obsessed with him, right?

      • M

        They are. That Karen chick seems to know alot about him, that is for someone who thinks he is a flash in the pan, go figure!

    • Lynne

      Cheers!

    • MNCyn

      He’ll never get far?! That’s pretty funny considering Ticketmaster can’t keep up with demands for his upcoming concert!

      • M

        I couldn’t even get tickets and I am a fan on his site and so I waited and waited and when 10am rolled around I had like five computers going. (friends) And I could NOT get a ticket. They were sold out in seconds! Yeah that sure looks like someone not doing well. I do believe if this keeps going on he will have to do second shows and maybe later on bigger venues! I know he wants it small and intimate but the fans want HIM!

      • MNCyn

        We did the same thing right at 10 am and found out later, pre-sold bundle was sold out in something like 43 seconds! It was pure luck who got in and who didn’t. But – I went to box office at the venue and they had a sort of drawing system. I lucked out! What irritated me is that people were pigging out on getting as many tickets as they could. Now – if they are for fans, that’s ok. But it sounded like many/most were going to re-sell them. So – ya know – why not just get what you need and leave some for others?! I mean. Just be nice. Good Luck M!

      • M

        Thanks MNCyn. I wondered if that what was happening. I couldn’t believe how i couldn’t get even one damn ticket. so the “pigs” were buying in bulk with the intent of reselling? That sucks! I thought the most you could buy were 4 tickets? That is all any of the areas would sell or what I saw online. I won’t give up. Maybe I can hit one of those resellers. I am NOT giving up! Thanks for the encouragement!

      • Canyon

        On the bright side, the scalpers descending like vultures is testimony to Adam’s star power, and a big fat raspberry to the pond scum Adam haters. Not very comforting I know but there will be future concerts. Hopefully, Adam will take a page from Bon Jovi”s book. At any Bon Jovi concert, the first 30 rows are reserved for fan club members.

      • M

        Wow Canyon I wish Adam would do that. Maybe since this is all new to him he will see what works and then go from there. I do know playing small venues leaves alot of his fans out in the cold. Bigger venue, more tickets, more happy fans! Is what I am hoping for!

      • Canyon

        Me too, but I’m one of the lucky ones, four tickets to Mystic Lake.

      • MNCyn

        Row L, 91-14 at Mystic, Canyon. Stop by and say HI!

      • Canyon

        Will see what we can do. A friend just called asking if I’d be interested in one of their tickets to see Adam in Milwaukee, so I guess i’ll be seeing him twice.

      • Lily

        so some people want to make a quick buck at the expense of die hard fans

    • Christiana

      Bravo!

    • julie

      excellent!

  • bianca

    Love love this cover.

    • Tinybear

      Me too…

  • me

    Slezak I love you! And jealous of all you americans who will get to see this sparkly creature’s EPIC GLAM NATION TOUR!!!

    • MNCyn

      Whooo hoooo … I got tickets and that was not easy!!

      • TK

        You are one lucky glamfan
        You should celebrate and you can,
        I will try once more
        So I can sparkle and adore,
        The talented man and his band.

  • peachie

  • Jamie Crump

    In this artwork
    he looks like elvis
    with the movement of his pelvis
    but this song is great
    i wish he was my mate :(

  • Lior

    That guy who would wear the eyeliner
    And arguably no one is finer
    He’s got a new single
    My ears start to tingle
    So please welcome pop’s new front runner!

    • Tinybear

      ….SCORE….

  • Laura

    I love this limerick, it’s so cute! And Adam looks so gorgeous. :)
