As long as it's only two or three sentences in german, I think it's ok and the term "wilkommen" is probably widely understood On Friday I got a belated birthday present from a friend...an Adam Lambert pillow...sweet dreems! lol It’s „Willkommen“. We don‘t want to teach wrong German. 😉 And a happy belated birthday and sweet dreams to you!

Did I understand that L.A. Times article correctly: it was Prince, who originally should have sung „Lay me down“? Wow.

Makes him look like one of those artists who get writing credit without doing much.

Was it really so necessary to diminish Adam's input co-writing the song? I don’t look at it like this. In the first place Nile tells many people, that it is actually Adam, who is the singer (and he wrote a bit). Since Avicii never credited the singer, most people have no idea! I don’t believe people really care, who wrote the song. But many know about Avicii not giving credit and thus would understand, that singers would rather hesitantly accept this offer.

That is not diminishing Adam -- it is the way AVICII ran his business -- all the performers got writing credit so they get royalties. If Adam was "just" a vocalist, he would not get royalties. It is not a new model -- it has been done since Elvis Presley in the 1950s. It is a work-around for the outdated recorded music rules which are based on sheet music!! Also, Adam has talked at length about how that recording session happened and his role.

He was too much with the attempts to undercut Adam's success with Ghost Town and claim it all for himself. Why would any artist want to write or work with him with that attitude?

Recording artists and musicians get screwed on royalties unless they are also the songwriters. That is why the "stars" write all their songs -- even if they don't write all their songs (Beyonce, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, etc.)
Music ownership and royalties are very outdated. The music industry relies on royalties generated by the licensing of copyrighted songs and recordings as a primary form of payment for musicians. These distributions are done based on contract.
There are five types of music royalties. 1. Mechanical
Mechanical royalties are paid upon physical reproduction of an artist’s work. For example, when a record company produces records they need to pay royalties every time a single copy is reproduced. This is most often negotiated on the front end of contract between a music publisher and record label. These royalties apply to any physical format of music, including vinyl, cassette, and CD productions.
2. Public Performance
Public performance royalties are the most wide-reaching, common form of royalties that are issued to musicians. By definition, public performances pertain to any performance of copyrighted material. This can include, but is not limited to, airing music on radio, live performances, performances recorded for film or television, and playing copyrighted work over stereos in public spaces. Most often performance royalties are paid to performance rights organizations (PROs) such as BMI or ASCAP (you can learn more about PROs here). The PROs collect the royalties and pay them out to the artists that have signed with them as representation, after taking a cut for operating costs.
2. Synchronization (Sync)
Sync royalties are paid to copyrighted music that is paired with visual media of any kind, including films, commercials, and online/streaming video and advertisements. These royalties are often negotiated on the front end of the licensing process, and are paid based on how many times the song will be used, and for which audience. Musicbed negotiates the percentage that an artists will be paid and issues royalties from sync licenses directly to the artist.
4. Print Music
Print royalties are the simplest, and least common, form of payment that is paid to an artist. This type of royalty applies to copyrighted music that is transcribed to a print piece, like sheet music, and then distributed. Royalties are paid to the copyright holder based on the amount of copies made for the printed piece.
5. digital rights from simulcasting, webcasting, streaming, downloading, and online "on-demand service".
The "composer" and "songwriter" ((synonymous) get the majority of the royalties.
The rise of digital has helped performers a lot -- Unlike publishing royalties (which get paid to publishers and songwriters), digital royalties are usually distributed as follows:
Featured artists – 45% gets paid to the primary artist(s) (the one whose name is probably on the single/album cover). Non-featured artists – 5% gets paid to a fund for session players, backup musicians, etc. The owner of the recording – 50% gets paid to the label or entity that holds the rights to the recording.
