Pretty clever of her how she got her point across. Not clever imo, passive aggressive at best. Publicaly shaming a fan group in this manner on a social media account is unprofessional. She could easily accomplish the same goal in a polished educational post if she wanted to. I don't see that she named any fan group nor the artist in relation, so I wouldn't call it "public shaming". From my perspective, she found a way to address an issue for a small group within the fandom while "educating" the rest.

Adam is 35 years old ,he's been in the business one way or another for quite some time..He hires people to help his career.. If he wanted the
fans advice/help ,he's not shy,I'm sure he would ask for it. For some reason there is a small group of fans who want more,more and more from Adam and no matter how
well he does and how well known he is around the world.. They want him to do everything,everywhere all the time.If an artist is in a movie
Adam should have gotten the part,someone gets on a TV series, why didn't they ask Adam,An award is given,what! Adam deserves the award.
One of the things I so admire about the man ,is that" he marches to his own drummer" Maybe Adam really loves his life just the
way it is... we have no idea what he's been offered and what he's turned down... he would have to clone himself to do all the things expected of him.To add I think Shoshanna does a great job, IMHO,probably Adam feels the same way... Just sayin

So how does this contest work? Do they limit the number of contestants based on the entry song? Do they sing the entry song on the first night of competition? What about subsequent nights of the competition?

What about subsequent nights of the competition? There will be 2 semifinals May 9th and 11th. 10 songs songs from each semifinal will get voted through to the grand final on may 13th. Gem

What about subsequent nights of the competition? As devilwoman already said: there are two semifinals with each 18 & 19 entries which will perform their full song with completely live vocals during those shows. The music is now allowed to be recorded previously, but in early years that had to be live as well. Most people who watch the show have never heard the songs or maybe only their own countries entry. After the songs are performed the countries who participated in that semifinal can vote though telephone, but they can't vote for their own country. Half of the points of the different counties will be through jury results of experts in the business. The best 10 will move ahead to the finals on Saturday. In the final the 20 countries who made it through out of the semifinals will perform + 6 countries who are automatically legit to perform in the finals. 5 of those countries are the big countries who are paying the most to keep this festival alive (France, Germany, Italy, Span & United Kingdom). The 6th country is the winner of last year: Ukraine. In the final all the countries who participated in both semifinals and the finals can vote again. Again you can't vote for your own country. The results then will be from those votes + the jury results again and that will give a winner of the festival, which is also allowed to organize the festival next year. The festival is liked or hated by many. Liked by the gay community also a lot. Hated because some entries are really horrible, because they can't sing live or they put up a terrible show. It's a lot about show, but also politics plays a big part. Last years winner was from the Ukraine and she sung about the war which was taking place in her country. Australia probably should have won if you look at the performance alone. It's a colorful show at least. Last year the contestant of Latvia was a bit of a look alike of Adam and also his song had a bit of a Ghost Town vibe. This got people talking about Adam somewhat. Also the commentators from my country mentioned GT when announcing that song. Justin Timberlake performed his song Can't stop the feeling for the first time during the final of the festival and that gave a big boost to his song from the start. There are a lot of people in Europe and also in Australia watching this. Last year 204 million viewers all over the world viewed the festival. More info about this years edition: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest_2016Last year Adam also started following our Dutch entry Douwe Bob. and I think this year Isaiah might like the girls from our entry as they are pretty close to his age I think. They won The Voice here last year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxYU6iVpI5c

Shoshanna had every right to publically sham that absurd fan group. They need a hardline to what's appropriate and what's not. Look SS ain't just a typical Publicist. She has to interact with Adams crazy fanbase on a daily basis lol. I don't get why some here constantly slam her for being unprofessional. When she's done such an Amazing job for Adam. Lot of his success recently SS had a big part of it. Calling her out, and accusing her of being unprofessional is just uncalled for and disrespectful imo.
