Adam at his best. Minimal make-up. You can see his beautiful face Dark hair is sooooo good for Adam. Look - even his yummy stubble and his beautiful lashes and brows are dark - and that enticing chest hair.  Well, he does look great with dark hair (and blonde hair and honestly any hair - except the shaved sides - NO ! 8-)) BUT the dark hair is not his natural colour - it is interesting that you like natural Adam (minimal make-up) with dyed hair -  |

In my opinion, co-touring doesn't help much with record sales. It will help, but not a lot. I just think about me, I've heard Gaga's songs, I like them, but she hasn't won me like Adam has. I don't feel the need to support her and buy any of her records. Though, she is huge, if Adam is going to co-tour with her , I don't think she can turn me into a fan who is going to buy her records, even though I may enjoy her performance. I think it's the same with other fanbases. They are loyal to their artists. There will be converters from co-touring for sure, but I don't think the number of converters are considerable. If you look back, Adam has had concerts with current artists and with a legendary rock band, but these don't make much impact on the record sales. That is why I think co-tour doesn't help. I don't know if there is any better way for Adam to gain fans than AI, when the radio is not supporting him. There are still many people who don't like Adam just because they don't know him. What they know about him are only the negative things like the AMAs, or the inccident in FInland etc..., and these have prevented them from appreciating his voice and his music. I hope AI would help them see the other side of him and eventually fall in love with him and want to support him. Now the AI opportunity seems to be a very long shot, What else do you think Adam and the label should do to promote the single and boost the CD sales? I wrote almost the same post a couple pf weeks ago. I often panic when I look at radio play, and the low sales numbers that that lack of play has reaped. Q3 wrote a really nice post, which basically said Adam has so much talent as a live performer, and he is so smart and inventive about his career that he will find a path for success. I think there is no denying that radio is the main driver of sales, especially single sales. Even if he got Idol the hope would be that that exposure would get radio on board. If he doesn't get a good amount of airplay, his sales will not be strong. That however, does not mean he will not be successful in the industry. He has strengths most artists don't: He has built a reputation as an out of the world live performer and he can get bodies in concert seats. He is super interesting and the press loves him. He is a celebrity and that can get him in magazines, included in online polls, invited to TV talk shows, spots on shows like PLL etc. All these things can build on each other in increase his fame and bring more opportunities. He has built a reputation as some have said as "the voice of his generation". With the Queen concerts, we have seen what this can bring. Like you, I can get very tense about his sales, and I am crossing my fingers for good radio play for next single. But if it doesn't happen, because he is so incredible in so many ways, he will be OK anyway. |

Hi everyone! Just wanted to pop in and tell everyone that Adam's NCOE video with a Trespassing ad was playing on the TVs in the movie theater refreshment/arcade area yesterday when I took my kids to see Diary of A Wimpy Kid Dog Days. It was on a loop--heard it three times in 30 minutes while the kids were playing games after the movie. I guess this is a way to hit the younger demo when radio support sucks! It was beautiful--of course, my kids were like "Mom, Adam's on!" and started singing along. It was quite wonderful, I must say, for Northern Kentucky on a random Wednesday afternoon in August! Love to you all! And congrats on reaching a milestone in Atops posting, Teddybear! |

WHAT? Adam knows how to avoid detection when he wants to. Remember the month, I believe after the GNT tour , when we couldn't figure out where he was. Didn't catch sight of him the whole time&He was right under our noses in a hotel in Hollywood.LOL I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean? There were photos from the airport so he didn't avoid detection. And I think I saw a post the other day that said Adam was also interviewed at the airport and asked about his trip and Queen and Idol. I was just curious about what he said and what the hair looked like in motion and wondering why the video hasn't surfaced yet. Oh sorry.. I guess I'm tired and I misunderstood what you were saying :-[.. Off to bed |

I heard NCOE while eating breakfast at Debby's today. I asked about the radio station. The waiter said it was satellite radio. It was a great breakfast.
