Yes, Shady......of all these (love them all) I think Shady had the best chance of being a hit single....so catchy and dancey... it's so sad that it wasn't given its chance.... i know it was said that the lyrics were 'too gay' at the time but I can't say I really noticed....even when I had a better look at it! and when I think what some of the mainstream lyrics are like these days....!! Considering some of the mainstream lyrics nowadays, I can't imagine how the lyrics to "Shady" would be a problem, but then again it's Adam Lambert singing those lyrics ... #DoubleStandard (same reason why "Fever" was never a single. Sucks.) IMO, the lyrics of Shady could be about anyone going to an under ground club to dance the night away and be weird and freaky in many other ways. Tell me. What about these lyrics is "Gay" or for that matter, even X rated? IMO, nothing! The only problem with Shady and Trespassing and Cuckoo not being released as singles was FURCA. Radio embraced Ghost town. i think they would have embraced Cuckoo and/or any other dance song from Adam as the first Trespassing single. Personally, i think they were waiting for his freak flag to fly and BTIKM was a disappointment to them. I know for a fact, that Adam fully expected Cuckoo to be the first single from that album. And I think we pretty much all know, that he wanted Trespassing as the 2nd single. FURCA is a big sore point with me. I though i was over it, but I guess from this rant, I am not! Here are the lyrics:Shady
Adam Lambert
Baby, I’m on the hunt
Baby, I got my target on you
Trouble, that’s what I want
And I’m gonna do
Just what I have to
Get your ass down to the front
Go on and roll it out, I dare you
Sorry I’m kinda drunk
But did you just say your game was brand new
No, I ain’t broken, but I need a fix
That satisfaction when I, I get my kicks
I’m up all night, I’m outta sight
Don’t turn on the light
'Cause I’m feeling so shady lately
Come on and take me underground
Deep under the street
Come on and take me, take me down
Where freaks like us can meet
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Turn it way up, don’t stop the beat
Come on and turn me, turn me out
'Cause I’m feeling so shady lately
Gonna go and get me a shot
Gonna knock it back, forget all my blues
Yeah, that…

Has it ever been known to happen that a song gets re-worked a bit, and released, on a new album? Wouldn't it be the ultimate one-in-the-eye for FURCA if something they didn't support became a success later? But I don't know how it works with rights to a song.....

American Idol @americanidol #TBT American Idol throughout the years! I am surprised that they are still sending out tweets. Is that a typical thing? May be there is a remake in the works? I wouldn't mind actually. DH and I admitted to each other the other day that we do miss the show even though it wasn't always exciting, especially after Adam's run. But other singing competitions won't do it for us. I just tweeted them back and pimped Adam a bit Yes, I think someone said here that the show was bought by NBC?

I think Adam can rerecord any song he has written and rerelease it. Other artists have done it. Britney is among one of the most famous. But with his personality of "always moving forward and not looking back" I have a feeling that would never happen. If that were to happen, because of streaming numbers, the obvious choice would actually be "Runnin." The most streams of any non-single, I think. Skaschep can confirm that.

Sucks.) I heard so many times that Fever wasn't made a single because radio wouldn't play it because of the word "he" (there he goes, my baby etc.). But it was always a claim made by fans. I believe fans made that up, because they needed to find reasoning and logic behind not making Fever a single. I never heard any radio personality who said that. And the truth is, I find it a little hard to believe. I think it wasn't made a single because RCA had no deal with Gaga, but they did have a deal with Dr. Luke and Claude Kelly, and maybe with Max Martin.

It charted in Top 40 over here.
