Guru Adam Lambert teaches meditation techniques in “Better Than I Know Myself”

Y’all know that I love me some Adam Lambert like a love song (baybeh!). I often fantasize about dating him. and then later f&^%ing him, “Better Than I Know Myself” is one of my fave songs at the moment, and my crush on the Idol rocker is so big that I was too shy to get my copy of For Your Entertainment signed when he did an in-store appearance near my house a while back.

But I just can’t get down with his new music video.

With the help of some slapped together Windows Movie Maker effects, Glambert gives us a look at the two different sides of his persona in “Better Than I Know Myself”. There’s the perfectly styled yuppie with a glossy pout who spends his time meditating and sipping herbal tea inside an oxygen tent, and the perfectly styled rocker with the smokey eyes who squishes hearts in his bare hands and downs liquor from the bottle.

It sounds hilarious and tongue-in-cheek, right? Wrong. The soapy acting and Glambert’s hammy facial expressions makes the entire thing look unintentionally hilarious and corny. Much like the For Your Entertainment, it’s hard to tell if this is supposed to be dead serious, or is just a bad joke that nobody else but Glambert gets.

Please don’t hate me for this scathing assessment, Glambert — we can still be together, right?

    Usually Ray Kay makes alright music videos (I LOVE his music video for Stacie Orrico’s ‘So Simple’!), but this is…well, odd! Oh well, still a good song and Adam Lambert is a cool guy :)

    I agree with you, this video is so cheesy.

    I love iPod App effects the video has.

  • Barf

    I think he needs to let this simmer for like 2-3 weeks longer max, and then release the Bonnie McKee single.

    I quite like it! I find how seriously he takes himself so cute. I just want to squeeze his little cheeks. His face cheeks. I’d squeeze his butt too, but I was talking about his face. Stop talking, Aaron. Okay, good.

    Proph, in your dreams with Lambert, you’re topping or bottoming?

    He’s so ernest in his (over) emoting, I find it endearing.

    It seems as if he’s putting two counterparts into perspective, the self-destructive who loses it easily, and the one there who tries to keep it together, then you sorta get he’s having inner conflict and finally decides to resolute to come to terms with acknowledging his mistake and not letting his good intentions/side die apparently; good concept but not that well executed.

    I think it was pretty cool, I like his new style (I want it!) and I think he try to transfer what is going on on his real life to the music video wich I think he did great and he did it in a cool classy way like “Shadow” (Ashlee Simpson) or “Cry Me A River” (JT) instead of been all suffering much like “Confessions Of A Broken Heart” (Lohan) or “Everytime” (Britney)

    Cheesy video but I do like the song now I hope it does well for him. 

  • MUSIC LOVER

    I still find this song so outdated and generic.  The video did nothing for me.

  • instagr much

    was this vid shot with instagr ? + I think Adam needs to be in a band. He’d be far more succesful. imo .. Also, if he just lost 5 – 10 kgs >_>

  • G-Nasty

    This video was absolutely AWFUL
    But he looked smoking hot at the end, so it’s okay :D
