[Music Video] Adam Lambert – “Never Close Our Eyes”

My handsome hubby Adam Lambert has seriously missed the mark with his music videos this era, but it’s not due to a lack of effort. First he served up The Beginner’s Guide to Meditation with “Better Than I Know Myself”, and now he’s gone and dropped what looks like Aeon Flux-meets-Fame with the video for “Never Close Our Eyes”. And just to clarify, I’m talking about the Charlize Theron box office bomb, not the critically-acclaimed cartoon.

In the bizarre sci-fi visual, Glambert plays your ordinary everyday rebellious citizen in one of those futuristic totalitarian societies where everybody looks the same and individuality is a big no-no. Of course, the flamboyant Glambert isn’t going to fit in very well in a place like that so he… well, I actually don’t understand what he does, but somehow the video ends with everybody wearing colored clothes and dancing like a bad Broadway musical.

On the bright side, Adam looks seriously hot. If given the chance, I would back it up on his face and twerq it like there’s no tomorrow, before making him serenade me with that beautiful penis voice of his.

At the rate things are going, I can’t deal with another music video from Trespassing, so I vote that Glambert just drop a sextape scored to his current single next time around.

    Not really getting the connection between the lyrics & the dystopian, emaciated model, off off Broadway production of the visuals. I can see where they were headed but the end result is muddled.

    Adam is handsome but he’s a bit too pretty for me to really buy he was either A) in danger or B) some sort of rebellious hero. And the acting. Hmm. I like the song, so…at least there’s that.

    Lol. The video didn’t really work for me.

    But agreed. He looks good.

  • Blah

    I understand the concept, it’s a bit cliché, he’s elevating the lyrics to the collective as if he’s bringing a message to society with this video.

    I love the video but don’t care about the meaning. The visuals are great and I love me some arm waving/half dancing ”hold it against me” final segment, it’s amazing.

    Damn very generic video and it sure needs color in it as well!! I also must question his choice of singles considering the great tracks on CD his first 2 really suck?! Anyone agree with that statement?

    I totally vote the sextape too!! And Get.In.Line for the serenade!!! LOL!! Thanks for the honesty! Jury’s still out for me – will watch another couple of hundred times before I decide.

    So in the end the glamy-campy Adam that was missing this era kind of come out to play again wich was the only fun part in the video, I kind of like it and is better than “Better Than I Know Myself” now, he is not a video artist yeah maybe “For Your Entertainment” was an awesome video, but if you look right “If I Had You” and “Whatta You Want From Me” where not impressive videos where kind of normal just like this one and BTIKM so it was a good video on his level. About the singles, I feel like he always waste better songs on not using them as singles and do a video (“Fever”, “Strut”, “Sleepwalker”, “Soaked” on “For Your Entertainment” album for example) not that the songs that he have choose as singles are bad, is just that they are better song on his albums (“Tresspassing”, “Cuckoo”, “Chokehold”, “Naked Love”, “Outlaws Of Love” on this album), but I think is because is all played very safe, cause all his singles have been safe songs typical radio-friendly like the videos (exept of course “For Your Entertainment” song and video) so I hope he choose something cool for next single

    Ohhh, I love it, but then again I love ridiculousness. Basically, NCOE is a Journey song taken hostage by David Guetta and given a dressing up. There are far more interesting songs on Trespassing, it’s a damn good album, but NCOE was consciously crafted for the radio, summer and those infamous Ibiza parties and there’s nothing wrong with that, this eye candy deserves some commercial success.
    This boy wouldn’t mind the sextape too :D , but I’m so amused by earnest theatricality of this MV- let’s rave up Orwellian reality, he says. You’ve missed LGBT sub-context too…Lambert is a smart and snarky one (and he has that voice…and he is so pretty… seriously, it’s not fair, he is so genetically gifted, I feel robbed :P ), there’s some dark humour going on. Penetrating elements of LGBT underground  (pay more attention to details in MV) into American repressive mainstream cultural patterns is some serious punk… And he is so damn hawt, so what’s not to love…
