When he grins he looks cheekier and when the lighting is bad you can't see the creases in his forehead. Suddenly the conversation turns to botox or bad hair cuts.  Reminds me of when paps got a shot of Bono without his sunglasses and someone noticed he had fewer wrinkles around his eyes. Suddenly a panel of plastic surgeons was convened on some TV show to discuss Bono's possible plastic surgery. They concluded he absolutely had to have had "work done" and that's why he had been "out of sight" for a few weeks. Meantime the fans laughingly documented with photos every day during the supposed "out of sight" time showing no possible way he'd had anything done and came to the startling conclusion that Bono had actually had a good nights sleep. ETA: Those wrinkles in myspenses avi are because of the way he is holding his brows up with his face tilted down. I can make wrinkles in my forehead appear and disappear depending on how my eyebrows are positioned. |

I have no smoking syringe...but it appears TO ME that he's recently Botoxed his forehead. It has looked this way in the past...Qbert 2012 in London for example. Not a big thing in the realm of "beauty" these days. It should be relaxed some by this Queen tour. I love all the movement of the eyebrows and forehead. Also, I think the shaved sides do make his face look fuller....he should take note and let that gorgeous hair grow back out on the sides. JMHO.....  He may have had a reaction to the Botox this time, making his face swell. He's had this haircut for awhile now. The only thing different is the color. The problem with Botox is if he keeps getting injections, it could permanently alter his face. I hope he stops at some point. |

Not to judge anyone's feelings or preach, I know people are just trying to be funny, but I sure hope the guy doesn't google himself and come across this... # 1 rule of googling yourself is expect to find stuff said about you that you don't like (especially if you withhold goodies from rampant fandoms desperate for a fix in a somewhat transparent attempt to get a famous person to tweet you under the guise of respecting his artistic rights). I hadn't thought about it that way but I think you are right and I see that mys*&@^#r agrees as well. The thought had crossed my mind that this guy is probably watching his feed and feeling somewhat superior. But if he googles himself and discovers someone considers him a "mean-spirited hoarding little cockteasing weasel fucker", then so be it. bridgeymah, the "#speeddialingzombieteenagegirlsruineverything" is good too. Last Saturday's company excluded of course! LOL. |

You know, I totally get this dilemma. It IS conspicuous consumption, especially compared to my life. But my life is conspicuous consumption compared to people with no home, or no clean drinking water, kind of like this: I think of this whenever I throw food away, turn on the tap water, am warm on a cold night. I totally get it, it is hard to think of myself as a conspicuous consumer, but I would be to many many people around the world, or even here in my own country (US). I think most of us spend to the level that we can. This is a great poster and a wise sentiment with which I agree. I hope you don't think I'm not appreciative of clean water, housing, etc. because I am, and I'm aware of how it can all be lost in an instant, say due to catastrophic illness (because healthcare in this country is so jacked up and rigged to benefit corporation profits . . . blah, blah, blah). I don't really have a "dilemma," per se, because I don't have to have a great feeling about EVERYthing Adam does (though I usually do), obviously only Adam does. Those teens managed to make me feel good about Adam performing for them. The tweets, pics, vids etc. from this party - not so much. I shared (shrug), but I won't bug anymore. I'm glad no one minds too much that I'm not on the same page today. It happens. I think "Sweet Thing" could be a good song title. I think "Private Party" could be a good song title! I think Adam does look a little different. |

A bit more on the sweedish guys Adam is writing with. www.playproduction.se/ go to their music page and listen to what they wrote/produced for Xenia, I could hear Adam doing this. P LAY PRODUCTION are an incredibly accomplished young Swedish writer/producer team - Tim Larsson, Johan Fransson & Tobias Lundgren - who, after a steady flow of #1 chart successes across Europe & Japan, have found themselves embraced by US mainstream pop with tracks written and/or produced for Rascal Flatts (the album recently debuting at #3 on the Billboard 200, and at #1 on the Country Chart), Clay Aiken, Xenia (The Voice US) and the Canadian Tenors. Add to that Katherine Jenkins, Ivy Quainoo (Winner of The Voice Germany) and the fact that they wrote the only original song (Audra May wrote on this too) on Susan Boyle's multi million selling debut album. They have also written the music for several ad campaigns and TV shows including Ikea, 3 Mobile and SVT.
Play are currently working with Josh Groban, with Nashville artists, and on projects with the legendary David Foster.
The Rascal Flats song "Come Wake Me Up" was an ASCAP most performed song in 2013 and was covered by GLEE.

That is the most modestly dressed I have ever seen Ashley dressed at a concert. For a while I was even wondering if it was her. |

My fantasy on the theme of "if I could afford to book Adam for a private event what would I want him to do" came down to a few "wishes": 1) I would ask for a "no mic, no amplification, only voice"...obviously it would have to be in a small space 2) I would ask him to sing "By The Rules" and "Runnin'" 3) I would ask to please NOT sing WWFM or BE (no danger he would sing BTIKM or NCOE anyway) 4) I would ask for any classical peace of his choice 5) the rest would be up to him, I'd love all of it What would be your wish list? My private gig would take place on a big pirate ship, Adam + the band + audience would all be in pirate gear and Adam would address the audience in pirate speak. Setlist doesn't really matter at this point |
