I agree, Graciejane, the whole "somehow vote for Saara so Adam MIGHT have a chance to sing with her" sounds really weird to me. People voting for her when they're not even watching the show is also weird. I've seen a couple of her songs from the show, she has a good voice, so it's not like she doesn't deserve to be in the finals, or even win, but I don't know...it all seems like such a rigged game strategy.
Did she mention Adam's name just for this reason?
And Shosh didn't really say why she was rallying the UK folks...we're just assuming she's talking about XF, or did I miss something?

Oh great, a fandom that has bitched for years about a rigged results show wants to rig a results show. That's an excellent point, Graciejane. You've made me realise that I'm totally corrupt where Adam's concerned.

Thank you Adam for this wonderful pic from M&G in Warsaw - one of the best TOHT concerts ever!

Yes...we might be just assuming regarding Shoshannas request....however...related to your other thoughts Re mentioning Adam's name: Saara being Finnish....linking with "Adam" seemed very genuine in the beginning. But weeks of her mentions has caused me to wonder if she is trying to draw on Adam fandom as a strategy for votes etc. It was and is getting a bit much. Yet I guess good for her to have a strategy after placing 2nd twice in Eurovision ----she wants a win. I hope it is genuine....but I am not 100% assured of that. Maybe she is scared X Factor will put her with someone who will not lift her, to her potential for the final round. Maybe she is just bold enough to do what she wants. Odd for a contestant to be seen as driving an X Factor decision in "public". ---Mind you I have not sorted this one out in my brain as yet.... Jessie J was Angie's fav singer (AI) and they put the two together of them together...after Adam's duet with her. Was it just luck that Jessie J was there ... to sing with Angie. Or they made it happen as JJ was going to be there anyway ---Maybe? But---- I thought it was pretty freeking gracious of Adam to be put in a position to intoduce Jessie J as a Favorite artist of Angie's. Was it just luck that Queen was asked to be in the AI finale with Adam/Kris. No! Pretty sure Adam was not orchestrating behind the scenes though. Maybe XF producers will attempt to create magic with Saara and Adam. If not...then Saara tried..whether genuine or calculated.

Wow, I've never seen that clip of Adam singing Wildest Moments...how beautiful! Wish we could hear him sing the entire song.

You can see better here. Can see the little lights in the pool and light up against the wall, inside the den area by the outside door, inside the LR and also the kitchen nook, Joey smoking the joint from behind his ear...lol...etc. Appreciate the slow motion. After replaying the regular other a zillion times...haha I never would have caught the pool lighting had you not done the slow motion. I was too busy checking on the new rug and the view of the den. I was trying to check out the furniture in the den. Looks like he took a table maybe from the master bedroom and put it in the den near the door. The living room had both tables structured like that but one is for sure still there, and the other was still there in past pictures/snap chats. Silly me...but I enjoy homes/decor stuff. PS Hope they are all in a cab ---drinks and weed! Big press and TV coverage here re ...we have had drinking and driving programs for 9 years and it has not made that much of a difference, and now they have to prepare to road test those high on weed, and develop programs for ills of smoking weed and driving.

Maybe XF producers will attempt to create magic with Saara and Adam. If not...then Saara tried..whether genuine or calculated. One thing we know for sure is this is all about the ratings, i.e. whatever the XFUK ptbs feel is good for their ratings that's what they will do... and on the artist's side it's the general exposure or promo for thier current project...It seems to me a little "controversy" ( if there is one here at all) would be great for the show ratings... I suppose Adam would be willing to go for the general exposure atm, but would XFUK perceive him as a good enough ratings attraction? Incidentally Robbie Williams for instance is on the promo wagon ... Obviously I'd LOVE to see Adam perform, but I truly dislike him being part of a duet...any duet and especially with a contestant where he will be doing his best NOT to upstage... As far as Shosh's tweets - she used "soon" as if something was on his calendar imo and not as just a (remote) possibility - very exciting! and much better tahn the "distant horizon" ...

Maybe's it's just because it hasn't been brought over and posted here but I've only seen the one time Saara said anything about Adam. Has there been more? And if so were they unprompted - ie it doesn't count she's replying to someone. Nor does it count if it's Shoshana rallying the troops. Save

I'm thinking also that maybe Saara mentioned Adam's name that one time, and it's been copied and carried over numerous times on different articles. Not like we don't know how that happens lol. I'm also excited about Shosh's "soon"....wonder what he has up his sleeve. I'm happy he's getting to spend some time with his friends and enjoying his house and backyard. I don't want him to burn out, want him rested and refreshed and ready to start the new album. Because, obviously, it's all about me
