I'll lump my responses to a lot of these threads here in one place.
I think Cuckoo is a really fun song with a good hook. There, I said it.
Adam comes up with good lyrics, but I agree that he seems better in the hands of a good songwriter.
Being gay is part of Adam's life every single day. It's natural to him, but it's always "there." It becomes a topic because it's part of him, how he thinks, how he is treated, what people say to him, who he hangs with.
New methods and rules of hearing and buying music not only helps Adam. It helps every other singer, too. Competition could get stiffer as the playing field levels out.
Love those tight fancy pants on Brian. He looks great in them!
Kris Allen will be on the Idols tour? WTF? I forgot there was going to be an Idols tour. I thought they were going to perform in just one place or something. Guess I got that wrong. Well, good for Kris.
A lot is riding on A4. Adam is entering the core period of his career. QAL, for all its immense value, has kept Adam away from producing his own music for long stretches of time. People still have to care about his OWN music. Can he and his label make that happen? Not everyone follows QAL, so there are plenty of people out there who don't have a clue about what Adam has been doing between his own solo albums. He has to appeal to discerning grown-ups who appreciate his voice, enjoy his stage style and appreciate his intelligence and personality. Adam's music is just the tip of the iceberg in being a fan of his, at least it is for me. But his music is his ticket to fame, not just being an interesting, sexy, witty guy. Like I said, a lot of riding on A4. The post-Queen years are looming closer.
