So much goodness in today's front page! I plan to listen to every remix this weekend to decide which I like best, thank you Q3 for putting them all in one place. Oh and owls and execs rocking out to Ghost Town, priceless.

Kryptoman, thanks for that thought-provoking, thoughtful post. Perspective is everything, eh?

Spotify update: 1,980,284 views!
Over 150k increase compared to yesterday. It's dropping some on the viral charts though (NL, US and Global at least).
Music video is going very slowly these hours: 1,188,566 (around 1,300 / hour at the moment).

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 We have often used the saying "He could sing the phonebook". But just because he could does not mean that he should I remember when I first heard BTIKM in Claude Kelly's demo version. Then Adam's version came out and while it had naturally better vocals, it was pretty much the same. It was too RnB for Adam's style. It surely fits Claude Kelly's style, but it took two powerful live TV performances (esp. the second one) to show it could be elevated above that. Same with the NCOE, which IMHO had better arrangement in Bruno's demo version (thank you for nothing, Dr. Luke!), but very similar vocals. There was a mix somewhere online at some point where it wasn't clear whether Bruno was singing, or Adam (or both, blended). So while we know Adam could make ANY song his own if he wanted to, I am not sure he was really investing energy into those few label-mandated tracks when he had brilliant co-written compositions like Shady, Cuckoo or Chokehold. (And damn that Runnin' bonus, we will never hear it live! :( ) If Ghost Town is any indication of what is to come with TOH, we might be finally getting an album where he does not have to sing a single "phonebook" song! No wonder he is so excited...

I agree with you, floralia. I get the impression that this guy has only heard the singles and didn't bother with the albums. Ain't nothin' "Simon Cowell-ised" about "Shady"! We all were complaining that the choice of singles was unfortunate and didn't represent Adam's music, but we recognized the brilliance of the albums, especially Trespassing.
The article says that WWFM peaked at #24 on the Billboard Hot 100. I thought it went to #10. It was right after Adam performed it on Idol, and I remember Adam tweeting excitedly, "Top Ten hit!" Or was that on a different chart?

Or was that on a different chart? Yes, I think he may well have limited his listening to the singles. Re WWFM, I thought it reached #10 too but the the Wiki for Adam's discography states #24 so I'm not sure now - perhaps someone else will confirm one way or the other
