I love NIN, I love AL…that said, I have always felt torn about this song, here’s why… Waaaay back in the day, my ex-hubby and I took my at the time preteen kids to see Maroon 5, matchbox 20, and Sugar Ray at the then called Pepsi Center now, Ball Arena in Denver. At the end, for an encore, all lead singers came out and sang this song. I WAS FLOORED!! I’m not a prude by any means, I get down to get down, but not in front of my KIDS!!! I know every word to this song, back and forth…may have even sang it to my then hubby in an intimate situation…I dig the song! But to have 3 fairly PG groups (at the time…Adam from M5 has come forward lately as a…well, freak, and I LOVE it!) belt this song out on stage like any other song with no preamble, no “hey, lil ears might not want to hear this” stunned me! I tried not to make to big of a deal about it…started collecting our belongings and head towards the exits…like it was no big deal…but my 12 yo daughter said “That’s a NIN song isn’t it?” Well, my lily white impression of myself as a “perfect” parent was blown to hell (how did she know that? Has she heard me in the bedroom? AAAAHHHH!!! How do I fix this!!!???) and I told her it was, and we went on about our lives. So, now seeing and hearing AL do this in concert messes with me…my daughter is now a surgeon (I must have done something right), and I don’t know if she even remembers that…but I do and…I don’t even know…I had to tell someone this story…I hadn’t thought about it in a loooong time, so, you folks are it! I don’t even know why…it came in my head, and now I can’t get the image out, but DAMMIT AL is so sexy and I don’t know what to do with any of this! Send help!!!😂 Oh…here’s a funny add on…I have tix to see Adam in Denver, at what used to be The Pepsi Center, now Ball Arena in September…if he sings this, my head could actually fucking explode!🤯😝🥰
Thank you so much for posting this! I was there and loved AL’s version of this song - and it’s so much better than his previous versions of the same track. Sexy, edgy - just everything you want from AL❤❤
Adam, that is a gorgeous outfit. I've noticed you have several unique selections that are not so extreme and have slowly selected a classier style that truly represents the more mature and experienced intertainer you are today. You are classy. Bye for now.
Omg love this song and love the way he dances to it he sends shivers down my spine he is so amazing and gorgeous love him so much and all ways will ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋
Happy Cinco de Mayo, Adam !!!!! As Always your voice is Beyond Reproach and Perfection Personified Without A Doubt!!!! Yes Adam you are a Sexy Wild Wickedly Beast Of A Man That Can Obviously Sing Anything You Feel Like!!!!!! Hot, 🔥 Sexy Sultry Classy Sensual Special and Extremely Handsome Yes That's You Adam 🌹❤️!!!!! Always, Susan 🌹 May 5, 2024 I am wishing you a Lifetime Filled Full Of Strength Happiness Love and Whatever You Desire Adam, Always 🌺
Adam is so sexy and hot. I love his version of CLOSER. Too bad Tommy Joe Ratliff isn't in the band anymore. They would have totally killed this song together. Adam and Tommy are fire 🔥 😍
@@JudithJustman-rv9eh You need to gain more brain cells. I would call you a body shamer, but in this instance, it doesn’t apply because it’s apparent to anyone who can actually see, that Adam looks gorgeous and beautifully, perfectly fit. So take your jealous self with your jealous, ignorant mindset, and FO.
The lyrics of this song are so rude it makes me laugh! Adam does a great burlesque routine. Lately he sticks his tongue out too frequently however. He is not singing with KISS after all. Only little kids stick their tongues out like that (and I'm not referring to when he does it to belt a high note.) Otherwise, a superb performance.
Look up the true meaning of the lyrics. They will enlighten you. And Adam has always stuck his tongue out during performances, and not just when he belts high notes. He’s done it for years, not just lately.
I'm afraid that by replying to you I am risking your ire, as you are one of the staunchest champions of all things Adam. Let me begin by saying that I adore Adam Lambert, both as a solo artist and as the front-man for QAL. I just think he sticks out his tongue in a lascivious way when he does a sexy number. I don't find it sexy, I find it silly. Full stop. By the way, this song reminds me of Randy Newman's "You Can Leave Your Hat On".
@@JudithJustman-rv9eh It’s always been a habit of Adam’s to do that. If you think it’s lascivious, oh well, that’s in your mind. I never give it a second thought. It’s simply part of who he is, and in my view it just makes his performance style more interesting to watch. And audiences seem to love it. He expresses himself. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.
@carolhagerty4288 Ain't nuthin on my mind except heartfelt wishes for Adam Lambert to continue to make glorious music with his GFG voice, to continue to grow as an artist, and to enjoy his life and his loved ones as he stands up for LGBTQ+ human rights. He is, after all, not sticking his tongue out at me.
It amazing how much jealousy exists around incredibly talented people. There must be a lot of people who are frustrated and dissatisfied with their own abilities, or lack of abilities.🤣
@@zorpsaturn7497 Look up the true meaning of the lyrics as written by Nine Inch Nails. They might enlighten you and give you some insight. Adam is an artist who interprets them his own way. You seem to be one of the few who don’t truly know what the song is really about🤷♀🤷♀🤔
