Troye originally from South Africa was an Australian child actor and became a very popular YouTube singer with the kids...He is also a big advocate for gay rights. IMHO Troye is one of the handful of openly gay singers who have made it. Adam being one of that handful.I really think he is talented . I like that he has helped influence the younger generation to be open minded and accepting of diversity.He has a big following. Thanks, melliemom, for the good perspective on Troye. I feel better informed. He sounds sensitive and conscientious. I'm glad he seems to have broken into the US market because that is a huge mark of success. I hope he continues to be an advocate for LGBT issues. I hope Adam stays active in that regard, too!

billboardVerified account @billboard .@troyesivan performs "My My My" and "The Good Side" on #SNL Since Troye has been on our threads lately, I watched him on SNL last night. Cute kid, looks 12, kind of lurches around the stage. couldn't understand the lyrics so I looked them up. The song has a strong LGBT message. It's ok. He's not really a singer, IMO. Just delivers the lyrics in his own style. He will soar to the top of the charts, of course. Probably fill arenas. Hope Adam has a strong, current strategy for his new music. Hope his label gives him the support he deserves. I hope so also. Interesting that Troye, Sam and Halsey are all with Capitol. They are doing an excellent job for them.

Not directly Adam related, but we were discussing late yesterday about the change in the music business and how music is released, etc. I noticed that Troye Sivan released two singles back to back over the past few days and he performed both of them on SNL. We may have to adjust to a new way of doing things going forward.
billboardVerified account @billboard .@troyesivan performs "My My My" and "The Good Side" on #SNL I agree. Things are moving so fast that the old model may not work. Not that he is big or anything, but Phillip Phillips (former Idol and with Interscope) just released his album this week and he has already given his tour dates and tickets for sale with tour starting in Feb.

That is interesting about P2! I know the big artists have released albums and tour dates at the same time, but I am surprised he did.

He did not release the tour dates as part of a concert/album bundle deal like the big acts tho. Just announced the tour dates. ETA His single went to 15 on HAC but did not sell as it rarely appeared on the Itunse chart at the 1500 range and his streaming numbers for the single are 1m. With all the radio play, Two Fux did better with the steaming and never released to radio. I was surprised that radio played P2 as much as they did cause it was not selling. I don't think his album will sell that much either.

His last studio album was 2013!

It he gets Judas and they allow him to do something like that it will bring down the house. I played that video to my older sister (does not follow Idol past the early years or any of the Idols) when she came for a visit. I had to pick her jaw up off the floor, lol. She asked, well why did he go on Idol for pity's sake? Then that opened the door and I played Ring of Fire, WLL, Mad World (Black coat) and Tracks of My Tears. Again she said he did not belong on Idol. Better than anybody she had ever seen on there.

It's been two weeks since Sara Bareilles was announced. Do we have any hopes of an announcement on around Olympic time which would be just before QAL heads to OZ/NZ? Of course if there are any negotiation/contract issues not settled....guess it could be anytime or later. I just want to know one way or the other. Nothing like keeping us in suspense....lol....grrrr.
Is Anybody Listening.....blows my socks off!
