I on the other hand would love if he became political. Watched John Legend the other night as part of Lester Holt's prison reform town hall on CNN.

It feels like NOT being “political” or not clearly stating what one stands for is a “sell out”... Adam clearly has THE cause and he is active on it’s behalf, so it is hard to say he is not political at all... as HIS particular cause belongs (unfortunately) to one political side only... but I would love to see him expand his reach... would it cost him some fans? Would it cost him radio play in the US? ...complicated ...

Capital has that big radio festival every summer. Adam was there as a guest this past summer so would be nice if he gets an invite to perform the next time. Kelly Clarkson has performed there at least twice, but as far as I know the only former Idol to do so. If Superpower takes off in the UK it would increase his chances I think. www.bigtop40.com/charts/2019/36/I've been trying to follow, a little bit, how SP is doing on Capital in the UK. Superpower is on The Official Big Top 40 chart for 8th September 2019 at #31, but I don't see his video under the Videos section, and under the New Music section where they list new albums, Velvet isn't listed. I wonder how they determine the Top 40, and why SP and Adam's new music isn't included elsewhere, like in the video and album sections.. I think as it stays on the playlist, which it made this week, they might have a method of adding it to other pages the longer it stays playing. He's not on their artist list either. But he's supposed to come back and talk with them again so hopefully by then every page will have him.

Alright, I finally listened to the interview. Can't say it knocked my socks off, as for me there was a lot of the same old and nothing new except the leased car news haha, but I have listened to pretty much every interview and read almost every article out there. I hope the interview engaged the casual listener enough to spark interest in Adam and check his music out. I think they tried to build a connection by letting Adam talk about other musicians, his journey since Idol, as well as Queen and the gay stuff of course. Relevant topics I believe, but I just want the new music now haha. I have heard it all haha. I am wondering what else they could have talked about? Good thing that they mentioned the Global Citizen gig in NYC and allowed Adam to make a statement. The casual listener is not interested in hearing how every single song on the new album came about, so giving Adam a chance to get re-acquainted with the general public seems like a reasonable approach. The AMAs... still a significant chapter in Adam's career but I am glad that they were mentioned at the end once it was already established that Adam is a nice guy who has evolved into an accomplished musician and front man the past 10 years. They talked a lot about Queen and Freddie, but did they mention the Oscars at all? I may have missed it when I walked off for a couple minutes. The mention of those "intense Glamberts" irked my a bit, but Adam did not feed into it at all and good for him that he praised his fan base for their support. I actually had a little twitter convo with Nic Carter yesterday after I had noticed that he followed me. I warned him that I am a devoted Glambert and that my feed might a bit too much for him, so he should feel free to unfollow. He replied and thanked me for the heads-up but told me that he loves passionate fandoms I think it would have been nice if they had played at least part of "Superpower" and I think it was not necessary to get into details about Adam's stage antics during the AMAs 10 years ago. Other than that, I think it was a decent interview. I heard breaks with like one musical note and then the add on comments when he wasn't in studio so to me it sounded pre-recorded and the songs put in but left off the broadcast. As for the AMAs, that discussion while not meant badly I think would be a real turn off for anyone listening and thinking of giving his music a try. I thought the description of his "antics" was over exaggerated and he had no opportunity to respond like he usually does when the issue comes up. If I was not already a fan that last part is all I would have remembered and I would not have looked him up, yep a bit judgemental still but that would have been my first impression even at the end of an otherwise interesting interview. So anyway it's something they could have cut easily from the podcast, as it is, my words are shafted and sabotaged .

When I listened to the interview I was "prepared", so I was glad that they strung out the AMAs subject til the very end, but you are right, too bad that Adam was gone by then and thus had no chance to put his own words or perspective to it. Quite sneaky actually. I am wondering if Adam just shakes it off or is upset about it. I can't disagree with you with regards to the impression it may have left for someone who is not a fan already.
