speculation on Adamtopia is Ok ,but on twitter it can go around the world... remember Adam's tweet on Les Miz.. not a wonderful outcome.. weeks of negativity aimed at ADAM.. just saying.. I am on twitter You do realize that Adamtopia is no more private than twitter, right? Things speculated on here can be spread just as far and wide. Remember Q3's April fools article that spead all over and even picked up by the press? Twitter tends to be faster now but there were many times that I have seen comments or speculations start here then spread to twitter and beyond. The only main difference is that the speculations can be addressed directly to Adam but I've seen enough comments made by Adam or Shosh tangentially referencing discussions going on here to strongly suspect that they keep a close eye on the major fan sites. Adam has always talked about watching the fans reactions in order to fine tune his performances. He has directly mentioned reading youtube comments to determine what fans are responding to both positively and negatively so it makes perfect sense that he or his people would keep tabs on what the fans are discussing. Don't make the mistake of thinking that discussions here are "safer" than those on twitter. We already have plenty of evidence that "haters" pick up on comments made here and twist them. Right you are.. Even the govt. could be watching us..LOL |

I didn't comment on this 'label speculation' earlier because I was reading it long after but as this conversation still continues I'll venture a few words.
Someone was hoping for Adam to say something on the subject in order to rein in the rumours a bit. I think melliemom was referring to that - as 'if Adam would address it in a twitter party on his own twitter account' then it would be his words, that might get press. And it could get embarrassing, so he has to keep silent. And there's no point in trying to force a reaction from him. Photoshopping logos etc is just illegal insanity IMO.
Speculation on fan boards or on twitter is more like harmelss fun and probably won't get picked up as easily. Tweeting the speculative comments to Adam is going a bit further but shouldn't be a problem. Most of the tweets I saw this afternoon were fan clubs or the like in several countries reporting the rumours to their members/followers which I think is quite ok. They were clearly marked as rumours and naturally fans want to know about what is going on in the fandom. Personally, I can wait for the official announcement about the label although I'm having fun reading your imaginative thoughts on the matter (as long as it doesn't totally take over).
I do object if rumours are repeated as facts - and I try to point it out if I feel that people are starting to believe in rumours forgetting that they were rumours/speculation in the first place. Naturally, you can believe what you want but when posting your opinion I wish you would mention when it's based on a rumour. (Without the mention it's more likely that a casual observer might run with it...)
Most important is that Adam has achieved a status in the music world and can pursue his career creating and performing - and live his life as he sees fit. We are only observing - and enjoying the outcome.

I'm not saying it was ok to say ew. He followed it with something like, "I didn't need to hear *that*." It *is* hurtful to have that reaction and for me to hear it. That's why I said I've taking him to task abt it many times. I'm just saying it's not uncommon. He is evolving. Anyway, onward and upward. As far as label speculation, I think it's harmless and a welcome relief after the doom and gloom of the stupid AI thing. Plus it's more plausible that he will land on his feet and find a label that's just right. I don't know how rampant the label "gossip" is on Twitter that it could possibly be picked up by the mainstream press, and I don't know how one stops ppl from gossiping/speculating on Twitter. Ppl are gonna do that. I don't think ppl should be made bad to feel how they use it. I don't use Twitter, but if I did, it would be pretty dull if I only used it to show, say, my family's vacation pix. Or as far as fandom goes, only things that are confirmed. Different strokes. I certainly enjoy reading the speculation. Puts me in a happy hopeful place. just tell him Adam is a top!  |

After a good night's sleep, I come back to here and find that after two years now, I still don't know the difference between Nile and Neil. Slow, slow learner...
Yes, of course I meant to say Nile. TY for helping me out.
