Winging in from the Way Back Machine to theorize - to those who might get a smile - that "These Boys" is a kind of FU about "Fever". "These Boys" has to be one of the most radio ready, monster hits ever. Imagine if Swifty or Perry had recorded it. Would be the only song playing on radio. (Of course, same could be said for ever track on TOH). Actually, that beat is so bulletproof, anyone could have autotune recorded it and be soaring. It's just splendidly commercial. While being a great song. "Fever" was a close to sure fire radio winner as any song could ever be. Gaga wrote it. Amazing beat. Built in PR. Except for that pronoun situation. And if Gaga and Adam hadn't been imbibing, maybe gender neutral would have seemed more progressive and embracing. And Fever would have had its day. And now, "These Boys". What a driving, thriving hit song. Yet, even in 2015, still must be a Bonus Track. But lyrics like "Listen to the radio and let it go" just, IMHO, scream: Look, I can do this radio shit better-er than anyone alive, and on key, actually singing with innovation. Just a theory. Of course, "These Boys" is about as likely as "Fever" to get played. (But gotta love "Go ahead and take a number!" What a lyric!) I love These Boys too! Just might be my favorite. I like upbeat music and I do not even care what it means. I just like the way it sounds. My other favorites in albums past are also Fever and Shady. |

Had hopes, but so far the bonus tracks aren't doing it for me.  But, like all things Adam, time and repetition have changed my mind in the past. I'll be glad when I can actually have the music all downloaded for loopy listening  |

I never thought about it like that at all. I was thinking more on the lines of it being a standing up for yourself/empowering song for LGBT people or anyone tired of taking BS from people. That's what is great about Adam's music...it can be many different (as Adam would say) 'colors' to all of us. He gets us really thinking while at the same time...moving our bodies to the different beats in the music and having a good time! I like your idea...thanks for sharing. I like both ideas. |

Adam tweets:
"There I Said It" is emotionally very real for me. I have spent my whole life standing up for myself and speaking my mind.
"There I Said It" is on repeat, for me, because it is a Freedom Anthem. Never felt, for me, like "just" a break up song. (There is no romance in the lyrics.) Felt like declaration to oppressive outside opinion that one would no longer narrow oneself for approval.
Thank you, 4Ms, for gathering those Twitter Party tweets. They were, dare it be said, going deep for Mr. Lambert. Especially for a Twitter Party.
Waving at seoulmate and adamrocks, with thanks for kind thoughts.
