ITA with myspenser50 -- plus just want to add that there is evidence that Adam selected DMG as his management team in part because they proved they knew how to get an artist our of their major label contract and reposition them to maximize earnings. Timeline: Dec 7, 2010 - Barry Weiss leaves RCA and the bean-counters (finance guys) take over. Jun 24, 2011 - RCA reorganized - the once great label ceases to exist in any meaningful form. (JMHO!!) July 2011 - Adam signs with DMG Aug 5, 2011 - Adam-DMG signing announced Aug or so 2011 - Adam submit Trespassing to RCA and they send him back to the studio. They did not embrace the work he did. (RCA proves they are FOOLS and not the label for Adam!) Nov 6, 2011 - Adam joins Queen for EMA performance - his first solo performance with them Early 2013 - Adam finally escapes the clutches on the idiots at RCA who want him to be a glam Michael Buble. November 11, 2013 - Adam says his is talking to a couple of labels and to big producers Around January 2014 - Adam signed to a new label deal. I believe that the Adam + Queen deal actually was partly due to DMG helping Adam figure out how to accomplish more than "just" being a recording artist -- to start to expand his efforts. I'm going to take exception to the term "evidence" which you both used. If you switched that out for speculation I think it would be more accurate. I suppose it's the writing camp which makes you think he signed with a label in January? I still disagree with the meme that he had to have a label for that, he is not an unknown entity so any "rules" would go out the window especially if Adam was willing to do some of the underwriting. And I think a label might be a tad bit upset to spend good money in January on a writing camp only to have Adam decide by going on tour that they would have to wait a year before they could start to recoup those costs. As of the interview where he said he was signed recently the dots might not have been connected till mid year. YMMV My two cents: Adam was clearly excited about something in early January. Realistically, it could be either of two things or maybe both. Signing with a label is one possibility but the other is pulling the trigger on the QAL tour. If memory serves me (always a crap shoot) Brian's health scare was laid to rest in December, the announcement of the tour was early March. So in order to have tour dates and locations in place by that announcement the decision to tour would have had to have been made in that late Dec/early Jan time frame. As to the writing camp, I would think a label was likely involved by then but I have no evidence of that. I will say though it is not at all uncommon for the album making process to run 18 months or longer, so having a label in place would not necessarily preclude the QAL tour or even concern them much depending on the schedule of everyone else involved. MM is busy, we know he was and is working on other albums, so maybe Adam's 'scheduled' time is now. ? ? ? ?

I would love to see Adam as mentor on Idol and even more on the Voice. After seeing how The Voice helped the other Adam's career, I would love for our Adam to have promotion as giantgantic as these TV shows provide. Besides not much is as fun as having Adam on a regular TV gig. I wonder if The Voice would not consider Adam given the fact Idol is often touting it's ability to produce stars compared to the other singing copetitions. Bringing Adam on would be a tacit acknowledgement that indeed this claim is true. Didn't stop them from having Kelly admittedly. JEAN! I missed you! Thanks mys*&@^#r, lots of good things coming for our favorite singer.

I guess I just can't get excited or even all that interested in whatever detail or machinations of who did what paid for what was signed to what when how or where.
We're getting A3. We're getting another leg of QAL tour. We'll know who label is in due course. That's pretty much all we know and I'm cool with that.
It's a lovely sunny day here.

I love that gif of Adam singing and dancing in the "spotlight." He was born to perform. blaky, or dancy or some other creative techy person. I would love a YT of all those brief clips of Adam performing as a kid (children's theater clip thru graduation solo), combined with some still shots of him in costume and performing. Then, segueing to his QAL and solo/band performances once he "made it big." Maybe some transitional clips of him professionally, but pre-Idol. Something chronological to trace from little Adam to Rawk God with Queen. Can I interest anyone in creating a YT like that? Pleeeeez! Adam ain't giving us much to focus on now, so, maybe you have the time and patience?

Your are right, what will be will be when the time is right. The rest of this is just chatter to pass the time. Enjoy your sunny day, it is 11 here and I am going to finish to laundry and head to bed. nighty!

There are a few certainties in the music business -- but one certainty is that Adam was signed to a major label before Max Martin would agree to do even one song with him -- and since Max put together a 2 month writing camp for Adam, it was a huge investment. I hope Adam explains some of the back story to the album at some point in the future but mostly I just want A3.

Arctic air flowing over the Lake Erie on January 7, 2014 created two major bands of lake-effect snow snow near Buffalo, New York. Image credit: NASA. That is Lake Erie! Thankfully I am south of the lake vs. east!
