Adam was never "courting Bruno to do one of his songs!" :-/ Okay, well, we have different impressions of the situation. I felt that last fall Adam wanted Bruno Mars to agree to let him use one of his songs on the CD and was working toward that goal. Did you see the January interviews from LA when he was doing the promo? |

IF Adam can sell out venues that run between 4,000-7,000 all over the country for a few months this summer, then I will agree with you. (I'm not talking about #10 tickets at a fairgrounds either) I have a feeling we will see a much different response across the country this summer, than we did two summers ago, for a solo tour for Adam. However, Adam is going to do venues around 500-1500 all across the US, I'm sure he will sell out or come very close. Everyone has their times that they open for others or co-headline, EVERYONE! Carrie, Kelly, Daughtry, Rihanna, Bruno, Taylor Swift, even Pink! (who had to open for JT in the US even though she had a platinum selling album and radio hits) Radio isn't working. If Adam is the showman and performer that we all think he is, why wouldn't the strategy of getting him in front of music lovers, who have never heard him sing live or watched him perform, be a good idea? Why didn't anything happen for Kris or Cook out of their tour situations? Because they are both as boring as hell! Concert goers didn't care about a boring WGWG in a plaid shirt! Adam is NOT Cook or Kris, that's the difference!  ETA: We should compare first albums to first albums off of AI, etc. Adam is experiencing the same drop all of the AI contestants experienced in the past with their second albums. Daughtry sold around 1 million copies of his second album in the US, Adam will probably make it to 200K with his second. You constantly amaze me with your knowledge.. inside information or crystal ball??? Aw..... you always say this.  You are such a sweetie! Love ya!  |

Did you see the January interviews from LA when he was doing the promo? I probably did, since I read and watch most of Adam's interviews. I'm not sure which specific ones you're referring to, though? I know there was an interview early in the year when Adam said that he wasn't sure if Bruno's song was right for the album and didn't know if it would make it onto the CD and, to my ears, Adam didn't sound very enthusiastic about the song. Again--my impression--is that before that time, back in the fall, Adam wanted a Bruno collaboration. But I don't think Adam got exactly the type/quality of material he was hoping for (again, my impression). But I think, at the end of the day, the label wanted a Bruno song on the album and Adam eventually agreed (maybe for political reasons, maybe because he likes and respects Bruno as an artist or liked the bare bones of the song and just wanted to work with him, maybe because RCA insisted, maybe because he hoped there would be some cachet and potential radio inroads to be had by including Bruno's song on the CD, maybe for all the reasons it seemed to me that he wanted the Bruno association in the first place), and so the song was reworked and included. |
