Ewww.. I just watched the video.. you're right.. There's Daughtry, No Ruben or Jordin, off course her daugher was there and No Adam in it and why does he wants Adam to retweet it. Don't like it Lots of Idol singers ,no Adam. Michael mentions him in the text ,but not nice to leave the best singer of all out of video. But, that is the point. They cannot claim to have helped Adam find his voice or learn how to perform better. Adam came fully formed and probably taught them a thing or ten. Plus, they would not want to even imply by association that if you buy their video or go to them for coaching you can end up sounding like Adam. |

What do you mean by Adam wasn't even on the promo? On the website, there is a promo video on the lower left. They show most of the winners, Daughtry, Jennifer Hudson, Katherine, Joshua, some other dude I've never seen before. No Adam. Aside from the simple fact that they may not have been able to get permission to use Adam's image, if he was in the promo it would imply that they helped develop his "unique voice". The truth is that Adam came to Idol with the skills they are talking about already well developed. I for one would not want to see the implication that Idol developed Adam's talent. For Adam Idol was a platform that he came in to with already well developed skills. All of the ones in that video did develop quit a bit during the course of the show and Michael & Peisha probably worked with them. However Michael has said on more than one occasion that Adam knew exactly what he needed to do and for example although Michael helped with the arrangement of Believe in Hollywood week he stated that the idea was all Adam's and Michael was sceptical of whether it would work. I don't think Michael feels that he taught Adam anything so why would he claim to by putting Adam in a promo video advertising their coaching service. They are not advertising Idol they are advertising their coaching skills. |

I think I saw a flash of Jordin around :20. Is it possible that those Idols shown actually used the coaching services of one of these 2 coaches? I don't think it's that important that Adam be used in this video promoting their business. Michael worked with Adam on every song he performed on Idol. And Adam specifically thanked Michael after his performance of “If I Can’t Have You” on the Top 7 episode. I do not think it matters. ETA: And this is a joke --- but maybe they did not want to be sued for false advertising and saying they had anything to do with Adam's unique voice would be just too much. |

Thats very true but as an example he would be the best! |

Yes he did work on arrangements with Adam but this is promo for coaching skills and from everything that Michael has said about Adam I don't think he feels that he developed Adam's talent. He has said that he learned a lot from working "with" Adam on the show. All indications are that Michael viewed Adam more as a collaborator than a student so it would make sense not to try to claim that he taught Adam how to audition. Adam had been auditioning professionally for years. |

Thank you, but not this one. It doesn't have a fierce look, it's tender, and his hand was on his forehead, instead of his chin. I think he was wearing a long sleeve shirt. Hhhmmmmm......searching thru old memories......methinks perhaps the one you're thinking of was one of the first magazine covers he did early on? Looking pensive and touching his forehead? I'm sure I have it but then I'd have to dig into my hermetically sealed archives and .........  I'll fall down the rabbit hole again......and dinner is on the stovetop waiting for me.....  Good Luck!! Hope someone else remembers where it is!! This one maybe?  |

Adam has made the distinction before that Idol was a platform for exposure for him but was not responsible for developing his talent so having him in this promo would imply that they developed him which is most definitely not the case.

I deleted my whining post after I read yours rihannsu ;D because you make some good points. But I still have to say that the people who see this video won't look at it that way. We, as Adam fans, are rationalizing why he wasn't included. Others will just know that he wasn't = period. |
