I don't think there is any need to worry about Adam anymore. That does not mean that we should fall silent or neglect to support him, of course not, but then, who of us would do that anyways. Way to much fun to be his fan....but what I mean, I don't think we need to see every corner as another form of danger that could befall him...
Yes, I realize that we have a 5 year history where we had to stand up for him over and over again....we had to fight, at minimum make our alliance known, make some noise on his behalf at various times, i.e. when the press was dissing him (or ignoring him or being homophobic), when some NALs got a little out of line
, people deserted him after the Ama's, either business partners or eventually even one of his friends turned out to betray him...or even more recently, when RCA did very little to help his album succeed. I realize all that.
I recognize that this fan base has to some degree been conditioned to be fighters. But I really just don't think he needs that right now. Does he need support? Of course. But I don't think we need to worry, whether he is getting paid for that Greatest Hits album....or whether he makes enough, or what advertising engagements he has. Adam has with big steps, overcome every hurdle anybody ever threw in his way, starting with the '15-min of fame' nay-sayers and ending with those select few among the Queen fans that behave like grumpy bears inside their cave and from there growl at a world that is moving ahead without them.
I know that Adam made multiple millions every year, since 2010. I know he has a company (Koehler) that keeps RCA and commercial customers and others earnest and tries to find additional placements for his music. I know he has great management. I know he has more requests for engagements than he can commit to and he can command a great rate for them. He has friends and family, and business partners who want to work with him. His career is on an ascent since at least 18 months, and he has proven that his career stays on a high, even without the help of a label. He has amazing immediate plans and great things on the horizon beyond that.
So, if RCA wants to bring out a Greatest Hits album for an artist they have let go less than a year ago, then great. Kind of says that maybe they did not play their cards right when they let him go, if they now think that this has so much potential. But RCA will always have the rights to this music and will continue to make money to recoup their expenses and OH, and eventually, Adam will get a few pennies too. For Adam this was all not anymore about money, but about his career potential and how he envisioned his future.
Time to let it go, let RCA scrape together their pennies for as long as they want, enjoy that there will be a Greatest Hits album, and just celebrate Adam's career. There would not be a GH album, if his career were not so stellar right now.
To me, it was about those dancing cats for a long time, but not anymore. They will dance, because that's what they do, when a career is influential and successful and long-lasting. Adam is working on building that legacy that we all believe he will have, and its now all about WHAT exactly this legacy will be. That is where the future chapters are to be written.
And just as an example for what I just said, here is who the final 5 idols from this season chose as their favorite former idol:

Times are good right now in Adamland.
