I liked the interview, not too impressed by the pics though. I think I'm spoiled by some of the great pics we've had in the last few years. I agree .. not his best photos at all.. not flattering...

IMHO' New Eyes' is one of Adam's best songs ever.. I can't understand it not being at the top of the charts.. I know It does take a while to get it ,but once you're in Boy are you addicted. It's also easy to sing to.. so ... why is it falling on ITunes... drives me battyAnd this is only the first promoted song off the album; you'll give yourself ulcers by the time the album is out lol. Glad you're enjoying the song. Well, I've done my part, iTunes-wise. This has been a perennial issue for Adam. The core fanbase buys in a big flurry and then thing drop off. Are the international markets buying? I know that the US market is what counts for Billboard. I don't know. But I am streaming and viewing a much as possible. We're all in this together, so I hope each one of us does their part as best they can.

EenieMeenie and eri9, EenieMeenie, It sounds like your Brady had quite the cultivated taste! Dogs can ever surprise us. eri9, Thanks for the videos. I shall take better care of where I stash them. Adam did handle the situation brilliantly.

A song by Adam without radio play is not going to stay high on the itunes charts. Same happened with FS and any of his other songs that were not released to radio.

I agree, Lurleene...people that heard it on AI either bought it, or forgot about it by the next day. I don't really think we need to stress about it, there's only so much we can do.

It's also easy to sing to.. so ... why is it falling on ITunes... drives me batty I think the casual listener is confused by Adam's music, every time they hear a new song it's different from what they heard the last time he had solo music. I don't think there are many casual listeners that would recognize Adam's voice when they hear New Eyes. To add to the confusion, he shows up on American Idol looking like a completely different person than what the Idol audience is used to seeing, singing a completely different style of music than they are used to hearing from Adam. I know Adam likes to change it up, but the music and the look make him almost unrecognizable from the Adam the Idol fans have grown accustomed to.
The number of views for NE from the finale frankly aren't that good, there are two videos on Youtube and the total views is about 167,000 with only about 9,000 new views added today. Compare that to his duet with Dimitrius , again there are two videos on Youtube with a total of 325,000 views with about 30,000 added today. I don't think there was much of bump, at lest on the official video, there were two million views Monday morning and just about 100,000 in the past three days. I think the fans may like the song and the critics seem to appreciate the style and nod to the seventies, but I don't feel like it's resonating with the general public.
I also noticed that Adam's interview on Good Day Britain had 10,888 views last time I looked with less than a 1000 new views today. This seems to be below the number of views most of their other guests generate , I know the hosts like him , but I worry he isn't bringing in enough viewers. Last time he was on he had nearly 40,000 views, most of those were in the first few days. I wish more people would watch his interviews, because he is so articulate, interesting and his sense of humor shines.

These pictures may not be as great as some in the past. But I will take them over all the more recent ones with his face hidden by hair everywhere. I was bracing for the worst but am pleasantly surprised. HAHA. I love Adam's new music. Really glad it seems less pop. But the hairy look is not working for me. The long hair would work better if there was not so much on his face too, imo.

Even when Adam does nothing, he hits another news cycle! How many sites ran with the news that there would be no new recordings of Adam and Queen?
