Just put Adam and Velvet into the "other" category. "Other" is pretty high up on the list. I wonder who's listed there besides Adam?

I don't remember the Divas Live appearance at all - but it was fun to watch. Lots of big names on the show & I loved Adam's looks back in 2012 - 2014. He's such a charmer and overall sounded great. You are right of course, about the pitch problems at the beginning of Ray of Light, and like you, I find it jarring because it doesn't happen very often. That's one reason I love listening to Adam because it's very hard for me to hear music that's not in tune. I wanted to ask you, Cassie, if you also noticed the pitch problems in the Don't Stop Me Now" A cappella, Spread A Smile video. At the .34 second mark he drops down into a different key altogether and before that there were also pitch issues (like at .16) . Do you hear it as well, or is it just me? I'm wondering if it was maybe meant to be this way as he could have re-recorded it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA00f5HvjE4 Yup. I was surprised when I first heard it. Sounded like a throw away moment and I doubt he listened back to it or he would have re -recorded it. Whew...I noticed it too but I just did not feel like the nasty bashing I would get if I did. :( Adam is so perfect 99.9% of the time that we are afraid to take note of that .001% that keeps him human! It is actually kin d of nice to know he is human....now...when I win that lunch, I will tell you all just how human he really is!!! haha

Adams “imperfect” is many other people’s “best they can hope for“.
Loved the little serenade.

Billboard seems to be hot and cold about Adam. I wrote in "Velvet" at the bottom of their poll and tweeted the link. I wish I was immune to those omissions by now.

Thanks for bringing this over. I would have actually missed it, but took the opportunity to defend Adam on twitter. At this point, it is about survival, and even more so for marginalized groups. Someone like me, who has never given the finger or felt hate and anger as strongly as I do toward "T", I get it. Every day I see another step by this administration toward authoritarianism and away from democracy and the people, and I too despise everybody who still associates themselves with "T" and his Republican enablers.
