Mmmmmmm, pleased that he likes Ghost Town but I take issue with how he characterises Adam's career and music to date. For me this piece shows the power of perception. Now Adam has a 'genuine rock voice'? And sings with a 'sharp cutting edge'? Whereas so many other people have always said he is too polished? I think the knowledge that Adam fronted Queen causes people to hear him differently. Fascinating. And as far as the 'middle of the road' comments, that is just too funny. Yep, I get that the song WWFM is not 'out there' but this is obviously someone that hasn't looked further. If Adam is the middle of the road, I would sure love to see what the edges look like. I am glad he likes Ghost Town and sees Adam's career taking off!!

Love the birthday cakes today - and Strawberry is one of my faves. Although today is my birthday - it also happens to be a Jack and Jill / Stag and Doe for my sister and her future husband. I am going to be speaking to the DJ and hope to introduce Ghost Town to 175 people. I played it for my sister in the car last night and she liked it and said it would get people up on the dance floor. I want to hear Ghost Town and Fever back to back !

I am glad he likes Ghost Town and sees Adam's career taking off!! If ever there was a left handed compliment this is it... Did he listen to The Trespassing album.. Playing devil's advocate here: Compared to the passion of Ring Of Fire and WLL on Idol, for a rock lover (which I assume the writer is as he embraces that "Queen happened" just like certain Q&A attending Glamberts), both albums might look middle-of-the-road. The first one delivered a first single written for Brittney Spears, a Pink-album-reject second single that became a hit but might have been helped by being a good answer to the AMA controversy, a third single that is just too much like an Euro-dance-party song, a Muse-reject, a GaGa-reject, an overproduced empowerment anthem that could have been great (and was great) acoustic live, an overproduced I-don't-wanna-miss-a-thing movie track as bonus... Then if he heard just the singles off Trespassing, the picture might not be much better. A first single that just should not have been on the album (and fits neither the dark nor the light side of it), a Bruno-Mars-reject second single that shouldn't have been on the album either, a "thank God he is buddies with Queen so he won't get sued" third single. Add to that putting possibly the best track ever recorded by the artist in the bonus section... As you can see, it is all a matter of perspective. If the guy prefers his Adam in a rock sauce, he got the wrong meal. Please don't read the above as me hating Adam's albums, I love most of what is on them, and then live they go to a whole new level anyway. But it is possible for a music critic not to like all of Adam's studio work esp. after the promise of the rock performances on Idol, so I tried to look through his eyes...

I think that Adam's ability to sing anything ,leaves many folks with a particular desire for Adam to sing only what they like..Luckily Adam hears the sound of his own drummer
