Really enjoyed the Billboard Pride group interview! Interesting group of people with diverse backgrounds and musical styles. Adam shined bright, as usual. Yes he did...they all held their own as well. Each having a different story. Very interesting. I have told this story before, but for other reasons. Tegan and Sara Quin won a "band contest" singing their personally written songs and their acoustic guitars. As the newspapers and media pointed out, these gals beat out the competition that were experienced metal and pop bands. They were high school students in Calgary, Canada, at the time. I met them through the drama teacher, who was so excited for the talent these young women displayed. I was the asst principal at the time---always hanging around the drama, music and athletic practices and events. They started in the trenches as 18 year olds. They did not sky rocket to fame, but did grew their fan base over many years. It was very interesting to me that Rob Cavallo, the same producer that Adam had for many songs on his FYE album, was named by them---as a person who encouraged them to go with more pop inspired songs, versus their folksy style. (Rob Cavallo --Music Again, time for Miracles, Soaked, sure Fire winners). Closer, a big hit single number 1 on Billboard was not produced by Rob, but he produced another song on the album. Six degrees of separation! I always wondered if Adam and their paths would cross, on more than just a casual hi/bye concept.

Oh, so Roger was staying there too! Interesting... these two are so close!
I thought they al did? IIRC, Tyler posted a photo from there a few days ago.
They usually stay in one place. Sometimes not, but from my observation it’s Brian, who then stays in a different hotel. Edit: And since Adam and Roger are now literally next door neighbors in LA, they will stay close after the tour as well (during the times, when Roger actually is in LA). And Roger will not call the police, when Adam hosts a party late at night.

Haley is the only one that I am somewhat familiar with other than Adam. I have seen her perform on some award show and she seemed to concentrate more on dance/pop with a heavy emphasis on dancing. Maybe some of the LGBT artists should try some other genres besides pop or dance music and see if there is some room. If they all try to be pop stars, they are only going to allow a limited number to get thru. I saw one interview from Troye where he seemed stunned and disappointed that he did not break thru in a big way as a pop artist.

Haven’t quite read enough yet - but did Javi’s family go to both nights? Did they meet Adam’s mum?
