Didn't see Bruno Mars Name.....IMO the best of the male performers outside of Adam I haven't followed along in this conversation but I just saw Bruno Mars name mentioned and I wondered if anyone else saw the car pool karaoke with James Corden? It was fabulous!! I just saw it.. It's fabulous!! LOL.. He's really talented.

Adam's biggest hurdle to overcome is that he is white???? How do you suppose he will overcome that? I don't really care if anyone agrees with me or not,but this thread has homophobia written all through it. And the best part is that some can't see it. Now we are speaking to artists skin color? In 2017? This is becoming a slippery slope and pretty offensive to read. I read the white thing. As Adams place in the market. I don't think it was meant as a derogatory term at all. Or offensive at all

In 2017? This is becoming a slippery slope and pretty offensive to read. I said white solo male. Yes. jun14, just look at the charts. I am not making up what is charting consistently. Top 40 radio is dominated with female artists, DJ collabs, groups, and males of color. It is a fact and has nothing to do with me being prejudiced. It just is. I have nothing to do with what charts and what doesn't. But I watch the charts regularly & some things just are. The Grammys skew female also. Since male and female were combined into one category (2012) only 7 males have been nominated, out of 25 nominations. And to answer your question: I don't think Adam has to overcome anything. I think he is fine just the way he is! I think he needs a great song! I am happy with the way GT performed. Another song as successful as GT would make me a very happy fan.

Not really Adam related, except the awards show link, but I'm watching the Young Women's Awards shown on TV right now. Lots of accomplishments by women that I did not know. Jessica O. Matthews won the entrepreneur award for inventing jump ropes and soccer balls that store kinetic energy during play. 1 hour of play can provide 3 hours of electricity in impoverished homes. REALLY COOL!!!

Did I dream that, like a week or two ago, Shoshanna said Adam would have a couple of announcements soon? ...ish?

Every time during the "Adam's charting" discussion the idea of "he needs a great song" gets mentioned and every time I see it I think "but what does this mean?"... Are the top charting songs "great"? By what criteria? What makes them great aside from the fact they've charted high? sort of catch 22 ain't it? I am totally convinced that Adam's songs are not any less great than those on the top. By any technical criteria they ARE great: they are written and produced by the top teams and they are performed better than any...
I am so happy streaming is here and radio with it's politics and back room deals is loosing its importance. (There is a problem of artist's compensation of course but that's a different discussion).
