Can't wait to see Isaiah's final product....I just hope his performance doesn't get lost in all the noise and production of the other singers. Eurovision is all about flashy, at least from what I've seen when Conchita was on.
I can't picture Isaiah hopping all over the stage, with all the smoke, lights, dancers, etc.

Sounds like Aerosmith, to me. I always think of Bowie and Queen as more Glam Rock which to me is more Pop. I am not crazy about the song. It goes on too long for me. But kudos to him for trying a rock song. OFC, he could burp for 3 minutes and it'd still go #1 on iTunes and radio would play it. So, not really a risky move for him. Agree. Not a risky move for Harry. He will get radio play and award show performances no matter what. That is why it is refreshing that he did not follow the path of many of the kids and Divas by putting out something that will require a stage full of dancers to work. It is always painful watching Selena awkwardly surround herself with dancers. Going this route gives him at least a chance of being taken seriously after being in a boy band. He can always do remixes if he wants club play. Can't wait for Adam's name to be mentioned in your sentence that includes " will get radio play and award show performances no matter what." It would be long overdue.

It would be long overdue. I'm with you girldrummer. I so want Adam to get great radio play. If he does I believe the award show performances will follow. I think the label has to pull out the big guns to get him massive play. I'm so tired of hearing excuses that he just has to have that perfect song. Meanwhile, others get massive play without some perfect song and using the same writers he has used. A4 is my hope. And as you said "it would be long overdue."

Holey Smokes! Harry Styles; Harry Schmiles . . . Haven't heard his song, but I DID just listen to Isaiah Firebrace sing "Over the Rainbow" . . . for Eurovision?? It was fabulous! What a voice. I have held back my opinion of this young man until now . . . Adam knew this great talent when he heard and saw it. Yow! Only wish a had a version from Adam to put up there, too. This one? He's really an amazing singer! Isiah reminds me of Adam before American Idol.

And as you said "it would be long overdue." Well to be fair Adam is a different kettle of fish to typical pop artists. He is pretty alternative. So when ppl say he needs the perfect song. Not neccessarily about other artists song. But Adams own songs. I mean In FYE era Sleepwalker should of been a single. TP Era Runnin should of been a single, Cuckoo, Shady e.t.c. TOH ERA After GT TOH should of been a single definately. So I don't think it is about other artists and their blueprint. IT is about Adam not having one, and being a genre all of his own. I just think Adam and his team need to pick the right single, they got it right with GT. So have confidence, they well get it right again. And Adam just needs a mass audience, that is all. His music is as good as anyone in music right now. And have a feeling A4 well be a departure from his last work. I am liking the idea of Bluesey, Earthy e.t.c. I would be surprised if their is any EDM in A4.

AnnAdoresAdam YES that's the one I meant...thanks so much ...about that Harry Syles song...I did like it at first listen but as people before have said I too think it goes on a bit long and I compare everything to Adam ...not sure it would ware out on me after a few listens... I've always thought of Harry as having the strongest vocals from the group... there was an album cover where John Lennon and Yoko Ono were naked?! never new that, although I might have seen the picture before not knowing it was an album cover...and peeps today think their "brave" or something...SMH

just because - momtomany What a super special moment for momtomany! I think that outfit looked super hot, and he was in incredible shape. Aren't we lucky that we are getting treated to another Q&A round?

Nobody could know for sure which, if any, of Adam's songs would have been hits or played massively if they were not the singles. We all have opinions and they are not the same. Even the people who are working at the labels and with Adam are not always right with their choices. So I have an opinion that will not change, but I would never assume that I or anyone else has all the answers when it comes to what will work. Other than hoping A4 is great that's all I've got.

Hey you all - - - Can't wait for the Hollywood Bowl, San Jose, and Seattle!!! Thank you for the memory! It sits, right here, in my heart. I'm just so grateful, so passionately grateful, that Adam came into my life, to inspire me with his - everything! I will be different, and better, forever, because of him. If I try to explain what it is in Adam that changed me, I am left with only words. So, I look to the sky, live my days, and I hear the voice, and somewhere in there is the reason.
