Adam has so much more depth,I don't think the label knows how deep to let Adam go.He's really not fluff ,even his dancy songs are deeper than the names you mentioned. I don't think RCA is afraid of sex as much as they are afraid of intelligence .   And maybe they are afraid of Adam's in your face sexuality a little bit too... By the way, Adam's explanation of the AMAs... Had he said those things before? |

Its starting to bother me that Adams band is always changing. The only constant seems to be Tommy! I wonder if she will be available to go to SA? ??? I have gotten used to all the changes.. It's really only Adam I'm interested in. I loved the band he had in England, I totally, of course, loved him with Queen.. so I like the diversity. Diversity a word I really adopted full force from Adam.. LOL I am only interested in Adam also but for the band to be constantly changing it takes the tightness and ease away from the show itself. I know Adam could stand on a stage with anyone and all I would see is him but I want him to have a powerhouse of a band that would really do him justice. The only way for that to happen is if they play together for a long time. I know at this stage of his career thats impossible because of all the down time but thats my wish for the future. 8-) |

I found Adam's unfiltered interview very revealing. We knew RCA didn't know how to handle Adam, but they certainly are not thinking out of the box, and certainly way too conservative for Adam. But I find this so interesting, given some of the artists on their label. They receive a great deal of latitude, and some of the songs and lyrics are highly questionable, but RCA releases albums and singles that certainly don't fit the mold. Prime example is Kesha, Usher and Britney. Please don't say they are proven artists, with lots of record and album sales. It is something else. So what is different for Adam?? Adam has so much more depth,I don't think the label knows how deep to let Adam go.He's really not fluff ,even his dancy songs are deeper than the names you mentioned. I don't think RCA is afraid of sex as much as they are afraid of intelligence . I know nothing about record labels but anyone have a suggestion of a record label that would appreciate and understand the depth, uniqueness, and greatness of Adam's talent? A label that would trust in his music and promote him....letting Adam be Adam? Does any artist today have that freedom? I really have no idea. |

By the way, Adam's explanation of the AMAs... Had he said those things before? Yes I agree about the sexuality.. but by putting it out there ,it becomes less dangerous,more accepted eventually and so society than begins to change. Adam kissed a boy and now you see boys kissing on TV,in movies ,etc.. It loses it's scariness when it's familiar. |

Adam is different because he rose to fame on TV vs. as a recording artist. It is a different path. Adam is also different because he is not interested in putting out pure commercial product like Kesha, Usher and Britney. RCA gave Adam a ton of latitude -- he got creative control of his album. RCA only had him record 2 or maybe 3 tracks for the album -- BTIKM the planned lead single (WWFM 2) and NCOE the transition single from the mid-tempo ballad to dance tracks. (The maybe is for Naked Love.) Major labels are conservative because they have a ton of money tied up in an album. |

An independent label is the only option and that would not be a good thing. ETA: Most of Prince's 34 studio albums were with Warners, in the past decade he was also signed to both Universal and Columbia (Sony). The last two albums were independent from NPD. A few of his albums were released by Paisley Park his label within Warners. PPR was closed down in 1993. Warners distributed at least on of Prince's NPD. Prince has never had a good relationship with his labels or publishers. |

Adam still doesn't understand why we love him and my love for him is so intense and intimate. He has allowed us to see almost all of him without ever seeing him in person. I feel like he is my friend. I know I am his friend. I feel very loyal to him. After four years, his sexiness doesn't necessarily have me swooning anymore. I love him like the special person he is with all his good character stuff, his intelligence, his grace, his wisdom, gayness, beauty, his need to feel close to us and remind us that he loves us. He actually has made me believe that he really does love all of us. I feel his love for us. I wish what we feel for him didn't seem so strange to him. When he talked about us tonight, Adam said he didn't know why we love him. He must feel comfortable with our love because he continues to reveal little pieces of himself to us. After all these years I feel this bond like you feel when you have or adopt a baby and you bond with your heart to this being. I suppose it is still strange to me sometimes. All I know is that I have never known anyone like him. I still feel like those people must have felt when they met Jesus. It feels so spiritual sometimes (and I don't mean religious). I mean spiritual, ethereal somehow. Wish I could express it but I don't have the words. Maybe there are no words for what we have all found from him. That was a terrific, honest, touching interview. I just want to hug the hell out of him sometimes.  |

But, why not go with a song written by and produced by 2 of the hottest hitmakers out there in 2011/2012? Bonnie and Olligee? If they wanted a surefire radio hit............. they sure didn't choose it! |
