So, do you think that Adam is voting via absentee ballot? Definitely out of town for election day.

I have a hard time believing that Adam would sign a contract like that....he's forever changing things up. It would kill him to have to stay in a particular lane, IMO.

I know in NZ, celebrities over cannot take to social media and endorse candidates. Must be allowed to in America. Adams endorsement is not surprising though. I know, no politics talk. Just found interesting as over here in NZ, celebs are not allowed to tweet about who to vote for on social media when it comes to elections. ETA: As for was Adam contractually obliged for first single choice? Maybe. I know he was made Exe Producer on Trespassing. I always thought BTIKM was an average Claude Kelly demo, was too outdated. GT was a huge hit, because it was current. i always thought it should of been Naked Love, Cuckoo, then Trespassing. But alas. Adam is a citizen of the US. We have freedom of speech. He can support anyone he wants on his personal media accounts. Okay settle down, what are you his Mum lol? I was just simply stating what is like in NZ. Around election time, celebs, sports athletes e.t.c. Are not allowed to endorse, or tell people who they are voting for. I never said Adam can't, I was just saying how it is in NZ. Geez.

From today's Billboard article about Kesha and her contract battle with SONY and Dr Luke! WHOA! I wonder if Adam had this clause also! It would totally explain BTIKM as the first single! "Unfortunately, as long as Kesha is under the contract she's currently fighting, there's a clause that declares she must remain "reasonably consistent in concept and style to the artistic concept and style" of the music she originally made." Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa???????? That's like telling an artist that "you can only paint in oils. You cannot try watercolors." Or telling a dancer "You are confined to jazz. You are forbidden to try ballroom dancing." WTF? Why on earth would someone SIGN a contract that includes a clause like this??? WTF? (and I would love to post gifs with this post, but fuckitbucket is 100% messed up and every single one of my 50 albums on PB is empty.) That's too bad because I always loved your illustrated and giffy (is that a word) posts. I hope they can help you get your albums back!

Was trying to reply to your surprise that he could.? Was just trying to explain that unlike NZ, here he can.

It seems it is not against the law, just not how things are done in NZ. www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/10515746/Political-endorsements-rare-in-New-Zealand

I know we said his voice was a given, but I pick talent, period. There is so much more to Adam than just his singing, he's so, so talented in so many different ways. Talent, followed by personality, character.
