Was curious about all the emphasis on streaming the music and looked up what artists were earning on various streaming services. YT is rated last and requires over 2 million streams before an artist earns the equivalent of the Monthly Minimum wage in the US. Perhaps other streaming services would be a better way to support Adam monetarily.

This is just my gut reaction, and may be the ~wrong way to look at things, but IMO the visibility of the streaming platform is more important than the monetary compensation. If Adam were a struggling indie artist scrounging for every penny, that would be one thing, but he's an exceedingly wealthy man. YouTube may be at the bottom as far as payments to the artist, but it looks to me like one of the most prominent measures of popularity and one of the best means of wider exposure. Adam needs exposure for his music far more than the money. If the song catches fire, the money will come. I agree 100% with this, the money isn't that important at the moment to Adam, it's nice but the main priority is to get as much streaming everywhere and as much promo/radio play if possible, the more people see him on YT the more chance of them checking him out on other platforms and the more fans he accumulates the more chance for a tour which is the ultimate aim really I suspect, Adam loves performing live.

I might get some criticism for defying the artist's vision, but then again Adam has been known for changing up songs by others in the past (changing tempo, mostly making fast songs slower). Somebody suggested on the YT feed under NE to try playing back at 1.25 speed, and surprisingly it totally works as a pop song, but loses its dreamy psychedelic qualities. Once you switch back to normal speed, you might even feel it is too slow, but that's by design.

Definitely up to the individual fan on what they want to do. YT is very popular and many artists preview their music there with either video or lyric videos. I have Spotify and Amazon. Don't use Apple Music or Google Play, presently. I have several YT playlists with Adam's music that run on a loop.

If I had to come up with another word other than "sexy" and "sultry" and everything else in that category it would be "dreamy" for me. Don't all these adjectives pretty much describe the man himself?

Speaking of vocal Coach reaction Videos. I really like Tristan Peredes as a Person and his professional imput. I find him very entertaining and he's very specific in what he says. Although humor is different with every person and He doesn't bash in his reviwes, which i Like, he sees the artists as humans and not machines that have to function. He might be the or one of the most popular on YouTube which is why i wanted to ask here If people could help commenting in His recent videos if he could review Adams performance tonight (when it's in YouTube ofc)

If New Eyes was pretaped yesterday....was his duet with Dimitrius pretaped as well? If so, he won't even have to show up at Idol tonite. ? Sounds like some or all of the solo appearances were pretaped, probably for production reasons (staging?). I expect the duets will be live. Trying to to decide which to watch first, Idol or GOT. We usually watch Idol on DVR a little delayed so we can FF through commercials, then catch up to it live. But GOT sometimes shows up early on HBO on Amazon Prime, so maybe we should watch that first. Hmmm.

Once you switch back to normal speed, you might even feel it is too slow, but that's by design. Well, that was interesting. It works and certainly has more pep without losing any of the lyrics; Adam still comes through loud and clear or as clear as he gets on this song. So, I can see how a good remix could speed it up for dance purposes. However, not only does it lose the dreamy quality but it is also a lot less sexy. All things considered, I think I will go with slow and sexy. ETA: In case anyone wants to listen to a sped up version but doesn't know how, click on the settings cog icon on the bottom right of the video, then click on Playback Speed which will give you options including 1.25
