Finally got to watch the videos from GMA tonight. (So close, but yet so far, when work interferes.) He sounded great, and really looked the part for the Pride celebration, and expressing himself without "corporate" limiting him. What ten years has been. I also have comments on the "aggressive glamberts" thing. I've certainly witnessed the glamberts who have to be at all events, at all times, thanks in part to retired status, be there in front and center. I get that they are investing into being a fan, but that shouldn't interfere with the occasional fan's opportunity to see Adam. Going to my past, the same situation occurs with prog-rock bands. The originals from the 70s resist anyone getting in line in front of them for a general admission show.

I just have to say Adam's Comin In Hot, is the steamiest performance of his yet. Before this,I always thought it was After Hours. The way he almost whispers the word HOT... I could tell he was really feeling the heat and humidity of the NYC temperature ,too. So glad I don't have to endure those summers any more. We are so spoiled living in southern CA. Now--on to the QAL tour!

I'm surprised by the space I saw in the audience, expected it to be more crowded......do they limit the number that can attend? There was no limit. The venue holds 5500! I don’t think it fills up for any GMA unless it’s something like BTS, and thus that event was ticketed. This morning was VERY WELL attended! I’d say about 2/3 filled! several times they had to ask the audience to step back several steps because the front was getting squeezed too much, someone fainted even...all the bleachers were full at the beginning as well, but by 8:30 am -the time the singing broadcast Started- the sun chased the whole section of the bleachers (facing east) to the west side of the venue where there was some shade. That’s why you can see empty bleaches, they were full at 7 am... a very, very hot day... 90s in shade... tbh I was worried about attendance, but it turned out great! I think normally the majority of the audience are tourists, going to GMA regardless of who performs. It was clear today that there were many Adam fans there, just for him! Thank you, makes me happy to hear this. I was just remembering this huge crowd that was there right after Idol, but it could have been comparable....

I havent read all 20 Pages of todays thread yet, Just wanted to Chip in real quick.
LOVED Adams gma performance! What Struck me, i felt like Adam is FEELING this band, they seem to click, i feel a Spark, there is chemestry, much with Monte and Tommy and with Queen. I Kind of missed it with His other solo Bands. This band is SNASHING it! And Not just musically but also stile-wise imo. In my mind Adam is bringing them on His solo tour (praying one happens). Did you Guys notice the drummers reaction to Adams Last notes on iwtbf? Had to laugh lol

I'm still unconvinced it was censorship, to be honest. My TV feed was chopped up like that, sound wise, throughout the broadcast, including the news and studio segments. And I was watching through a major cable provider so can't blame it on the Internet.
I DVR'd it off a cable network out here on the West Coast. Didn't watch the whole two hours, but the only glitchy bits were in that one song. I noticed the sound disappeared both times for red wine and weed. Bit of a coincidence, if it was just a glitch! Have you seen the Lego Raptors video? LOL www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUYko-E13vA

ETA: Just wanted to add this here. The conclusion of this is that the streams on Wednesday and Thursday were just not good enough for the song to be added on those playlists in those countries. New Eyes was doing 3x the streams Comin In Hot is doing in the first two days. Part of this is Adam's team who is not pushing this one as much as New Eyes I think. Part of it is that it wasn't put on any playlists from the start (New Eyes was put on a New Music Wednesday playlist). And another part is that we as a fan base are just not influential enough in the streaming business. Adam needs a lot more followers and steady listeners to be added automatically on these playlists. So one thing I want to ask of you all who don't like the streaming. Could you please create a free account, follow Adam and play a couple of his songs once a week on Spotify? This will mean you are counted in his monthly listeners and you will add to his followers. These two are very important. When a new song comes out just play it a couple of times and share it with your friends from the app. All these things will help getting it on these playlists. Without these playlists Adam's songs will go nowhere. Do you think it made a difference that Taylor Swift gave a shout out for New Eyes to her fans?

I agree with skaschep that Adam and his team are not pushing CIH as much as they did NE. And yes, Taylor Swift's shoutout to NEs really helped increase views.

LOL www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUYko-E13vAMy video this morning was so choppy that I couldn't observe any pattern but from what you're saying the timing does sound suspicious indeed. Aww, that Lego Raps video is so cute. They got it down even to the point of including Gasol comforting Embiid. There are so many creative people out there!

Also Brian mentioned it in his IG which might have had some people check out his video..
