sizzling63 not a champagne kind of girl, but I shall have a shot of herbal liquor once the time has come...  I gotta admit...Adam not reacting to Sara's announcement as mary put a dent in the road for me :( Valid opinion. I interpret it as Adam being told to not make it look too obvious. I am not a huge champagne fan either, but I like mimosas |

I don't think he ever was. I have UK friends. He might have been barely known, but a joke? Have never heard that. Where's our Sophie B? Never a joke. It's important to note that Adam was almost completely unknown here after Idol. No one I knew had heard of him. In certain countries which followed US Idol closely it was a different matter. He started from scratch....had to build up a profile here when he didn't have a blockbuster single or any inbuilt following. And UK radio was reluctant to play music from American reality show winners - wasn't that said once quite explicitly? i was amazed when he got slots on the Jonathan Ross show (2010) and on Graham Norton. Presume Shoshanna would have orchestrated that? i will say that I think those shows were too early in a way - he was nervous and didn't shine. And he didn't have a hit song to promote. Like his general career, in the UK it is being built brick by brick - solidly....he'll never be any kind of flash in the pan. His name is becoming recognised and appreciated...as a vocalist, performer, personality rather than as a solo pop star. The London QAL NYE was a huge leap forward for Adam. His name was top of the googles for four days (or something like that)... And after two nights at Wembley Stadium in June, no one is going to have to google him again - they're going to know already!  Hmm...I can't remember those shows. When were they? I am pretty sure that I didn't miss them. I am eternally grateful for QAL NYE which was quite the turning point! |

I gotta admit...Adam not reacting to Sara's announcement as mary put a dent in the road for me  But he did react, subtly as sizzling points out, he started following Alice Cooper, Tim Rice, and most notably NBC after her announcement. That is something that would not be reported by anyone but fans.  |

Jonathan Ross was very early on.....summer of 2010. He hadn't even been here with GNT then. And he didn't sing....short talk but it was disjointed and Adam was shy-ish. I really don't think Jonathan Ross had a clue who he was! Graham Norton was summer 2012....he was on with the disgustingly crude Miriam Margolies. I was there at the filming and he didn't get her and she overshadowed his few minutes. He talked very lucidly about the Queen shows that were just about to happen at the Apollo, Hammersmith and I was glad he did that....and then it was all cut out in the edit! He had about one minute when broadcast. He sang Never Close Our Eyes with very tinny sound and half of that was cut out in the edit too!! Things would be very different now. |

sent a pm to respond to those who have claimed here that my report was inaccurate.
It wasn't.
But it is in the past, and that is a good thing.
