There's no doubt that these are lovely pics but the light has gone out of his eyes in recent M&G times. I was sent a link to the M&G pics by mistake (I only had early admission, not a photo op) and the site contained old M&G pics from the Glamnation tour which of course I'd never seen before as I wasn't around then. The then and now difference was astounding. He was so happy and excited on every one and his eyes were sparkling - understandably, as everything was so new and fresh. Of course it's inevitable that anyone would become jaded. (And at least it's still actually him, not a cardboard cut-out!). With all the opportunities (and $$$$) coming his way nowadays, I wonder if he'll do these photo ops again in the future? I have a theory on the "almost smiles" this time. Since he had soooooo many, I think he is trying to not cause smile lines. Yes, too much smiling causes wrinkles! My photo doesn't have a big smile, but damn, his eyes are smizing real good! And will he do it again? Absolutely! The money is too good! And it is pretty much 100% his! I would venture to say that the VIP pricing at each venue, covered the expenses of that venue. So the ticket gross was income. BTW, I saw another new article (I think it was the BB one from last week) that said to figure the artist gets 34% of ticket gross after management, agents is paid. Same thing I read a few years ago.

Yes, I just discovered that. So now I have voted Three times! I have 3 different emails....one for the FB account I don't use and a different one on file for Twitter and a gmail account for the login. I think that's all I can do. Whew. Did you have to set up 3 different accounts with CMT before you could vote with the different emails? No. My emails had been set up long ago for FB, and Twitter. Two different email addresses. Then for the login/register at CMT.com I used my current gmail account and they sent me an email and I verified and it worked. So I have 3 active different email accounts one tied to FB, another to Twitter and another gmail account I use everyday that I used on the CMT registration.

My cross over collaboration dream paring is Adam with Alison Krauss. Natalie Maines from Dixie Chicks would be great too. Oh yes, brilliant idea!! I only know of Alison Krauss because of Robert Plant, he loves the women bluegrass singers... He said, I'll only stop working with them, if you stop producing them... Alison has such a gorgeous clear pure tone, I think her voice would blend beautifully with Adams.

Same thing I read a few years ago. I'm hoping he does it again for Album 4 tour....like you and Q3 said, it's very profitable and I had much prefer paying Adam directly for a good close seat than a scalper on StubHub. I hadn't thought about "smile lines"...lol. That's what fillers and botox are for, right? ( I haven't had either...but think I do need some fillers, except my smile lines are from age and not over smiling I think......lol)

Well....I think I have wasted enough time on this ridiculous effort. I would love to vote for Adam but there is no way, it seems, for me to actually access the process and the system has no interest in telling you why or what is not working. I have a vpn hiding my IP address and many of you have claimed Canadians are legitimate any way so that is not it...I think...but no way to tell. US programs are forever putting Geo blocks on their shows...who knows why...do they really want to keep everything private? No interest in international fame or fortune? Totally frustrating but nationalism is rampant...not just the US but they are certainly the biggest offenders...shrug .. They are happy to push their ads at us and take our dollars...so if feels like 'taxation without representation'...lol. Perhaps this is a way to make sure anyone who's base leans to international will never beat out a good l'homegrown boy....grrrrrrrrrr eta...perhaps it looks as I am a bit rough on them...but I spent hours, yesterday, trying to make Spotify recognize I was Canadian and not American....would not let me enter Canada [defaut entered US no matter what efforts I went to change that...I even completely removed the app and tried to re-register with a different email address and name...to no success]. I made an appeal for help here but nobody acknowledge it so I guess I can't help Adam that way either. So now I am a grouchy grrrrrr Did you clear out your cache, cookies, browsing data? I was having a problem with sluggish internet, not your problem, but the tech person I spoke with suggested, besides clearing browsing data, that I should also flush my DNS resolution cache which she walked me through.. it worked! As I understand it, DNS (Domain Name System) translates web addresses to IP addresses via specific pathways which can change often, and after a while these old pathways clog up the system and it needs to be cleaned out, sort of like rebooting the system. Maybe this will help with your problem too..?
