I love Pink and someday, maybe, I'd like to hear Adam and Pink sing together. But I don't think this would be a great idea on his 2nd album considering WWFM was the biggest hit on FYE. It just invites criticism that Adam needs Pink or something. IDK but whenever I see people mention Pink as a possibility, this always pops into my head. Maybe it's me.  If there is a collaboration on this album, I just want something fun and upbeat with one of the pop ladies (Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy etc...) so that it smashes big on radio. That, IMO, is the only reason I care about a collab. Otherwise, I just want all ADAM! |

I'm with you Nica! The only people I might be interested in hearing him with are not people looking to do collaborations. I can think of people who would benefit if he worked with them, but not that many where it would be a benefit for Adam. I just want to listen to his voice. I agree that collabs are about marketing, but marketing is CRUCIAL right now, unfortunately. It remains to be seen if Top 40 radio is going to snub him again this era like they did with FYE. My hunch is no, especially if the material is as good as we're hoping (praying), anticipating ... I also tend to think they will feel he's "earned" his place during next era. However, by being linked to someone who is already a radio powerhouse, especially for Top 40, (or in our case in L.A., urban markets), it will be that foot in the door to anoint him as one of their go-to artists. Until that happens, they can still turn up their noses and use Idol or "whatever" as an excuse not to play him. I'm hoping they won't, by all means, but he's trying to crack a VERY tough market for any artist, much less a gay, white male. Anything he can do to that end is worth exploring, IMO. And once they've accepted him, they've accepted him and shouldn't be a fight after that. Exactly....to colab w/ a hot artist...awesome promo/marketing. It's all about that. Remember he wants to be a pop star. Like it or not he needs to compete for air time any way he can get it. |

I think they could sound really great together, but does it help him crack the urban radio markets that he's found challenging so far? No, but but they would sound great. Maybe a rapper who sang just one line, personally I do not like these songs with the urban mix. Love Jesse J's new single minus the rap. I agree with you. Howver, I'm not listening to a lot of Top 40 radio, so I don't think they care what I want to listen to. |

I want him to get played on KIIS LA and I think the right collab could do that! How about a DJ collaboration? It would definitely work for UK radio, which leans towards urban at the moment. There are a few DJs out there with enough name recognition and the result would be as commercial as you like, in this country anyway. I was just hearing the other day that all the big name DJs are moving from Ibiza to Las Vegas and getting residences there, so there must be a potential cross over market. |

Some time ago (maybe during PF days?), someone posted a video of Sasha's SYTYCD audition for a previous season ... she used a chair as a prop, and I thought she was outstanding. But I've been searching on YouTube and can't seem to find it. Does anyone else remember this? Any idea how to find it? ??? Wow! That was fast! I loved this audition, it's good to see it again as we enter the new season of SYTYCD ... I'll be rooting for Sasha! :D |

I like those duet's that have been done because someone has actually something to say that needs to be said by two people singing.
So I'm not really into any collaboration that sounds like it's made only for to get those two people to sing together. So if Adam would decide to sing together with someone just to get business advantage I'd hope the song still would be the first type and not the second.

This one is annoying, too. I can't explain why I dislike it so much. It was just for fun and Alisan let Adam lead. Maybe because she sounds awful? And I really like that performance a lot. :D I watch the video frequently. Not saying however that I would want anything like that on his album. I wouldn't. I just think they're sweet together. Adam with Allison I. = ok. At least for Slow Ride. |

A full circle moment AGAIN! Nigel asks Sasha "What Do You Want From Me?" She would be hearing that a lot soon. [youtube] www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6dQm2nrlCs&feature=player_embedded[/youtube] I remember Adam saying Sasha and Brooke had worked together and she showed Adam an audition tape. Do we know what happened to Gina Starbuck? I always wondered if it had to do with her attitude towards fans. She tweeted some things when they were in Japan about Adam hiding out from the Crazy Glamberts or something like that. Promo tour ends and we get Sasha instead. She was a great addition to the dance troop. IMO |
