Wasn't it released as the first single? My mom passed in late 2017 and it was just playing on my radio stations then. I count 7 years. It's still my ring tone.

I don't remember this one here either - another version of Soaked - not the same reviewer (they look alike to me)

This one popped up when I was watching political videos of all things. Soaked is now taking up space in my brain. From a music coach. He did Adam's Nessun Dorma a few months ago. It is another Madison G request.

I've rarely been the first one to post something. This is a worthwhile reaction video for me, as a musician. This guy pointed out a couple new things in the orchestration. Should be shared with Michael Orland too!

Adam was in very good company with Max Martin and Dr. Luke. They worked with all the biggies. Too bad they didn't take him to the highest heights like they did with the others. I'll never figure it out. Probably a number of reasons. I'm sure his sexuality played some part (at that time). And his start took a hit with the AMA's and Elvis Duran saying he would not play FYE. Not a good start. But I think the biggest drawback was he was not female. And the women rule pop and his label did not get him any exposure anywhere else. Nor was he one of the teen/early 20 year old males that the tween and teen girls (and their parents) were going gaga over. He also wasn't a rap artists who could dominate with streaming. And he came from Idol. Idol was a blessing for Adam because it gave him a fighting chance (which he made good of). But he did not win and the contract for 2nd place was several hundreds of thousands of dollars but not a million. I saw once that Mariah Carey's label used over $3M to launch her career. There is a big difference between $3M and a few hundred thousands to make a career take-off. Even Frank Ocean once said in an interview that his career was going no place until Barry Weiss (former head of RCA) became the head of his label and put up millions to launch him. Money talks and can likely open up many pop radio and streaming playlist doors, especially at the beginning of a career. HA. And Sam Smith's label once bragged about how much effort and money they put into launching his career. And he came on the scene several years after Adam had been beat up and had taken so many of the arrows. But with talent and charisma, Adam is still standing even without many big hits. I remember Adam saying his contract was basically the same as Kris' so I've always thought it was the full million. They had the contracts signed before then end of the season.

I think his social media director needs to give him more direction. The problem in Glambert land is that we follow him to each new platform. It's great to have that fan base but it's harder to divide which type of posts go where or to have some platform specific stans. I'm sure it feels to him that he has to put out five different kinds on content but it's to the same fans so why does he need to do it more than once? (My opinion only probably formed because I just see what's posted here and so I mostly see OG glamberts.) Facebook - 4.7M Followers - >5000 likes & 750-2000 comments per post Instagram - 1.8M Followers - between 10,000 - 40,000 likes & comments 500-1500 Twitter - 2.2M Followers - 1000-2000 likes & 50-200 comments TikTok - 1M Followers - 40,000 - 500,000 likes & 50-1000 comments He hasn't been posting much on TikTok, he did more during Queen, so that's where his manager is pushing him because the audience is huge but engagement lower than it should be. And the content is completely different from the other three platforms, he needs 10 second short vids. So far it's mostly of him acting silly. I only look at his Instagram and what gets brought here. What I was suggesting is probably more an Instagram kind of activity. Not easy being a celebrity these days! It doesn't help that I think Adam is kindof bad at picking his own content such as when he does a "live" and then answers questions that come up on the screen. He picks the most redundant questions so often instead of having pre-picked or having someone feed questions that we don't already know. I feel like we have had great suggestions over the years so it's not bad that he's asking the audience for ideas but maybe it's not the right audience to ask.

Adam asked the other day what he should do on social media. I have often thought that it would be interesting if he posted small videos with him commenting on things and places he has seen/experienced that day. He does this very occasionally, but I think he could make more of a habit of it. It would be a way for fans to get to know him better and just a fun way to connect to his world. It can be: a piece of art or sculpture he has seen; something in nature; items in a shop that caught his eye; a nice meal or cool decor in a restaurant; an interesting building, etc. His comments as to why something caught his attention enough to share would be very insightful. Plus I love to hear Adam talk! LOL I think his social media director needs to give him more direction. The problem in Glambert land is that we follow him to each new platform.

I haven’t been following Adam for a few years. I know he has voice gig. Is he releasing any music soon? Pop music desperately needs more male pop stars of his caliber. welcome back. Still waiting for his musical album. Hasn't talked about it in a few months but he went dark before the voice-overs came out too. Says he's got a new direction before the Australian Mardi Gras but then says the song he performed wasn't that direction. Seen lately multi times in studios.

Such a recent road she took to the rabbit hole. Adam is a joy, it would be so much fun to discover him all over again. Fun, and a bit overwhelming at this point lol. It's like when I find a new author, and decide I want to read their entire catalog of books now, but they've written dozens of them Dick Francis, Anne McCaffrey, Kathleen Woodiwiss, Jean Auel
