I believe Soho House is where Adam and the guys from Queen have stayed in London for some time--it must be nice to be in a place where Adam doesn't have to be on "fan alert" all the time, and he can relax in the space with friends and colleagues. I remember that Rufus posted a photo from the pool (rooftop) a couple of years ago. Looks like a nice place--it's great what connections with Brian and Roger can do!

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..? Thanks for the advice....if I get energetic and have time I may try that but Wednesday is the soonest I can even get to that. Seriously...clear the cache is the first thing everyone says, but I so that regularly....and it does not answer everything, I am afraid. I regularly close down my machine which helps too and the vpn I use is a paid one and the DNS is constant...if that makes a difference. I got the email and used that link but it was no better then than before. And Spotify has been a nightmare for many, from day one. For example....even though the app is deleted from my hd and it would not 'let' me 'register'....after going to the 'community' for help [this is how they avoid actually servicing their app] I got two emails this am 'welcoming' me to the amazing world of Spotify!!! How bloody ridiculous is that......I expect ' try emptying your cache' to be the next big thing along side 'your business is important to us' or ' please stay on the line as our menu options have changed' or ' we are experiencing higher than normal call volume'....good grief....sigh

I love this audience perspective video Nic. I saved it ages ago because the audience reaction when Adam is riffing is awesome. Adam's fellow nominee, Chris Stapleton is under the white hat on the right in this vid..... his wife is to the left of him. I like to imagine, as I see his head darting not once, but twice in his wife's direction, that he is awestruck and asking her "Holy hell..... who is this guy"?

WOW......I never saw this coming! We must get this win for Adam....would be great publicity and maybe he'd have to return to Nashville for the award. The show is June 8th. He got an appointment the next day in Sweden with QAL. But imagine this: The award winner couldn't be here because he's currently touring with Queen! On a Country music award show! Lol! OMG.. I really would love to see that.

I don't keep up with country music much...but isn't that Chris Stapleton fella really BIG in country music right now. Seems I see him nominated for all kinds of awards.

I just now was able to come to my computer to see what's going on in Adam Wonderland----and have the biggest smile on my face after seeing this CMT nomination. See, Adam can sing -and excel in ANY musical genre. At least Country Music gets him!!!! The irony of it all.....I'm still smiling___________________________

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. 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) There's help on the way! Scientists make 'second skin' to hide wrinkleswww.bbc.com/news/health-36245728
