A GENERAL COMMENT -- TO EVERYONE HERE:
If you want to help GT move up the charts, vote for it, thank radio stations on twitter when they tweet about it, etc. Play the game.From my experience in the last two weeks: EVERY one of my few "Thank You" tweets to radio stations was Favorited by the respective station and some were Retweeted by them. I saw posts here that the same happened to others. Which means they DO pay attention to our feedback and they DO welcome it! I tweet only if I actually hear the song on the radio...

Agree! Hate to see the hate for this show on twitter right now! 15 years is amazing! I am stealing your phrasing for Twitter, Q3!! Remember that without Idol we would not be experiencing the magic of one AFL! I really never watched the show but for the year Adam was on but it really did have a big impact on TV for almost 15 years! It has had a big impact on TV and music. Check all the charting singles it's produced for BB's charts! It is hundreds!

I'm sure Adam had the chance to be on Idol again but, however strong the mutual loyalty, I think he did well to stay away from this sinking ship. Makes Era3 even more of a new start. My bet is that "everyone" will be back for Season 15, including Adam. It is not a sinking ship when it is the final season. It will be the end of a dynasty kind of year. Yeah, sure you are right. And somehow the last season seems more appropriate - as a thank you and showing respect to the show. Adam of all people would want to do that. But this season would be for Adam's own career reasons and I think he does well to give it a miss.I used to hope so much that he'd 'get a slot on Idol' each year - he's come a long way!

I am still missing the "Original High" of discovering Mr. Lambert and the on-line fandom, and making new friends in RL! THANK YOU AI SEASON 8!

Seems Shosh is looking for the girl who UL'd the snap chat song snippet. Guess maybe it shouldn't be posted on Youtube and on soundclouds? Seems Joey wouldn't have put it out there unless it was OK with Adam.

Re the news about AI, I know there are a lot of AI fans on this board, and I do feel for you all. It's hard to lose something that you've truly enjoyed for so long. But AI means nothing to me personally. My interest in the show begins and ends with Adam, and how the show can help him. The news about the end of the show, if nothing else, will mean his name is included in many articles and he may get extra awareness of his upcoming album. This is good. Also if the last season includes lots of nostalgic clips of truly great contestants and performances, features on some of its great successes, and former contestants coming back to perform or mentor or judge...again, this is all good for Adam. So this announcement makes me happy. And I'm sorry about that, because it's horrible to feel pleased about something that causes sadness for others.

Without Idol we wouldn't have the amazing Adam in our lives.. nevertheless I would love most reality shows of all kinds to be gone...I mean everything seems to be a reality show... Remember REAL World ,one of the first reality shows.. Funny if something is a hit then there is a flood of similiar shows.. Even the Voice bothers me.. I don't watch it.. IMHO It's like a game show with the judges and singers thrown in...

Been doing my best to support GT in every way I can. Can't get that darn VH1 video to play, though. Tried and tried but just get a blank screen. Oh well. I think GT is still strong and will keep strong right up to the release of TOH. So excited about the other songs Adam says we will hear before TOH comes out! As for Idol, frankly, I'm glad to see it go. It's run its course. The ratings have been falling. Adam was lucky to be on it every year since his own season, but I'm not sorry he won't be on this year. There comes a time when you have to move on. Adam in eternally grateful to AI, and so are we. But the show is done. I so glad Adam was a contestant on AI when it was still a hot show. I imagine next season will be a big "last hurrah," most likely with lots of former contestants, including Adam. I'm looking forward to Adam's own career and seeing where it takes him. Go go Ghost Town and all the music from TOH! I'm guessing there are more great songs yet to come!
