Yeeah it is like 5-10 secs haha. But great exposure. How many people recongnized the song don't know. But a great audience impression for the song. WTTS really is going to be a coma hit ha, when it eventually gets pushed to radio. I don't think WTTS is ever going to radio. Firmly believe its only intention was for the sports theme. I have been thinking about this and totally agree. The music business has changed so much, it's not so much about putting out albums as it is about constant exposure and streaming. I think WB is taking a long term approach and they know that they have a highly marketable talent who can perform exceptionally in all kinds of situations. I would not be surprised to see an EP before we see a full album. Maybe a dance focused one???

I would not be surprised to see an EP before we see a full album. Maybe a dance focused one??? Quoting myself to continue my thought based on the continuing discussion. Not having TOH as a single was a definite loss, but I can also see the thinking behind ALN. It showcases his voice and the release was in that moody time of year, late fall leading up to Christmas which suited the song's lyrics and musicality. They saw the potential of maximizing GT through Halloween which was good but ALN just did not perform well enough to get to a summer song, so rather than releasing another single at a time when it could not be promoted, we got a tour. I think touring was more important than a third song from TOH. Touring is Adam's metier, so anything that promotes that will always be a net positive, whether it's a single, a sport's song, a TV part, a little job as a frontman for a legendary band, or whatever.

Regarding ALN, to me it did not crab me so much when just listening to the song. But when I saw Adam perform it live, I was blown away! I loved the lighting and the moo and how he changed it up during that transition. It is one of my favorite performances, which I taped in Wichita. I still watch it often.

I think imo WBR after ALN, gave up on the era. So picked a song like WTTS to get tons of revenue of using it in sports themes. And obviousley streaming seems to be a priority for them atm. Partic after the monster hit GT was. So maybe they never intended on releasing a third single from the album. I can't believe it, that would make WBR no better than RCA. GT did good, so when they saw ALN is going nowhere, they should've swiftly moved on to the next single, instead of lingering on and on. I thought they signed Adam because they believed he can be a huge star if they just put in the initial effort. BTW, ALN was a very strange choice for 2nd single IMO. I wish I knew on what basis it was chosen. Adam said dozens of times that he chose GT to be the 1st single, so I trust that even if it isn't his choice to make, he was 100% behind it. But I don't remember him ever saying that he wanted ALN to be the 2nd single. Obviously he wanted TOH to be a single, or he wouldn't have named the album after it. MM and Shellback thought the song was so good, they decided they wanted to work with Adam based on that song. So why WBR wouldn't believe it can be a huge hit is beyond me. Unless there are still plans for the album that we don't know about. I'm still hoping TOH will be the next single

nwt.se/kristinehamn/nkp-noje-kultur/2016/06/17/legendarer-levererade-pa-25Legendarer levererade på 25-årsjubileum SWEDEN ROCK: Adam Lambert blev en succé ihop med Queen American Idol och ett av världens mest älskade rockband. En kombination som i teorin lät oerhört bisarr visade sig vara näst intill en succé i praktiken. Google translation:Legends delivered on 25th anniversary SWEDEN ROCK : Adam Lambert was a success together with Queen American Idol is one of the world's most beloved rock band. A combination of theory sounded incredibly bizarre proved to be almost a success in practice. I'm talking about the Queen and Adam Lambert, who beat their musical heads together and headlinade at the Sweden Rock Festival on Thursday. I admit that I advance was huge hesitant Lambert vocal enhancement to the legendary Queen. Initially he felt too out of place in this context. These were , however, a slow takeoff. Around the fifth track , Another one bites the dust , I was saved by the interaction between Lambert and the original members Brian May and Roger Taylor. My tough facade received a blow now and then during the evening . When the deceased singer Freddie Mercury was cut in on the big screens was not a dry eye - at least not my own. The truth is that I am extremely squeamish , but it's something that I like to keep to myself. But I admit that it was hard to keep mien when Brian May accompanied a digital Freddie Mercury to the love of my life . Just as I was in tears when I left the festival site without hearing The show must go on ; one of my favorite Queen songs. Another highlight was to see again the drummer Mike Portnoy , a musician who opened a brand new, progressive world when I was curious and sensitive teenager discovered Dream Theater . Nowadays, the combination Portnoy of Dream Theater and a memory, and at the festival lirade he and the eminent musicians of The Winery Dogs. And Twisted Sister . I got to enjoy bands like Queen + Adam Lambert and The Winery died in vintage live with Grandma , Dad and my partner put special flavor in life. The former " Bergstrom Comforter " saw probably more gigs than the average festival visitor. She gave all the bands a fair chance - something that a discerning connoisseur hard rock (read: me) do not always do . And this year was the connoisseurs extra fussy. I will not hush that this year 's lineup was fesljummen my taste and did not give the butterflies in the stomach; either before , during or after . But in retrospect , I am far from disappointed. I left after all this year's festival full and satisfied . Oops, as measured ... Which brings me to the festival's culinary aspects . Those of you who have read my previous festival chronicles know that the text is not complete without a comment about krubbet . This year I intend to be brief because I'm packed with starch, batter and meat. Stir-fried elk are plentiful - it will be my exit this time .
