I think it would be helpful if Adam or Ed would just give us a clue as to what's happening.I know I'm imagining that Adam is upset,especially after Eber's twitter about staying with your gut feeling and defending it. If Adam is OK with what is going on ,then I can more easily resolve my feelings of disappointment in the 2012 CD release.I just get the feeling that Adam may be fighting for some artistic freedom .I know it's really none of our business, but the guessing and uncertainty is hard to take. JT says right out there for all to see/hear that he doesn't choose to sing right now.. OK that's his choice,but Adam wants to sing and can't. Sure but given Eber's later tweet about full revulsion of Dub step it could also be as simple as Dad absolutely loathing a song that had some dub-step and Adam defending his position to his Dad. The possibilities are endless given such a simple statement. It could also be just a life philosophy of Eber's to trust your gut and to defend your choices and may not have a specific reference at all. How on earth do you go from that to "Adam wants to sing and can't"? I'm really really curious as to how you get to there from such a simple statement. I mean if that's where you want to take it fine but how did you get there? That fascinates me. Oh sorry I mixed up my statements. I meant Adam can't sing because he doesn't have the new songs to sing.. kind of thing. Don't mind me ,I just got off a plane a few hours ago and don't know where I am in any way ,shape or form.LOL |

I know I have the luxury of being sick of employment but still! And I'm tired enough to go to bed. Last night I watched True Blood b/c Adam seems so dedicated and it was quite the blood bath. Then there was the fandom meltdown. And I was kind of poisoned by an egg wrap this a.m. - silly day. Sounds like you have come through largely unscathed! Now, I'm stuck for Xmas/Hannukah presents! If only the pennyroyal pendants were a bit less expensive~ Maybe everyone will just get an iou in a cd case. (Excited/nervous for single.) |

I agree with much of what you said rihannsu but you're citing megastars.....they've already established their success. What - we're going to dismiss U2 if we don't like their new album? Did we forget about Guns n Roses while we waited for Axl to get his shit together? Adam's sophomore album is crucial to his longevity.... he hasn't quite earned it yet. I promise I won't angst as much over his 5th  ;D Here's why I don't angst U2's first album that took 4 years to come out was considered a flop and they still took 4 years for the next one and then launched a promo campaign that was designed as if they were a brand new artist that no one knew anything about. Even if they write you off and forget about you they can be won back with a GREAT record. So given Adam's PR skills and love from the media are pretty much on a par with Bono's I'm confident that no matter how long he takes to make this album he will be fine as long as it's great. So to me getting it right is more important than getting it soon. He has the heart of the media and they have already labeled him a superstar. If he sacrifices creativity for a quick release and the critics pan it all the Black Friday sales in the world won't help him. I would much rather he be an artist first and foremost until HE is satisfied with his work. He has already proved that he can keep the attention of the media AND his fans so I trust him. He nitpicked the shit out of AL and GlamNation and the fans and reviewers loved them so I think that gives him some clout with RCA to nitpick a bit on his album. Also the fact that he is a bankable touring act gives him a lot more leeway as well. U2 became superstars largely on the basis of their live performances, their best period of radio success was Joshua Tree era and "One" which now regularly hits the best songs of all time lists only made it to #10 on top 40 radio, and that was when rock was big on radio so it was basically about the level of WWFM radio wise. That being said I totally sympathize with the pangs of delayed gratification because yeah, I WANT IT NOW. But hey, that's life and I rarely get what I want. ;D LOVE THIS! |

I mean if that's where you want to take it fine but how did you get there? That fascinates me. being that we all have our own interpretations of that tweet here is mine: Adam is a perfectionist and wants to take longer (as we've seen with GNL and AL!) to work on whatever it is that he needs to perfect. Eber is telling him to do so and not to give in to all kinds of pressures, including the fans' impatience... I wonder why Eber decided to do a public tweet about the album...it makes no sense to me unless there was some calculated message in all that... He knows very well that every word gets analyzed to death... ??? |

Ha ha ha... I was searching for something else and found this instead...seems oddly appropriate ;D:  This made me laugh out loud. Is it really what he was saying? I do root for his continued success and happiness like I would if he were family - and I know I'm not alone in that - and, if I were him, I think that thought might freak me out a little! Lots of love directed at him - from real family, Sauli, friends . . . and fans - everyone expressing it his/her own way. |

OMG, I'VE BEEN CORRUPTED!!!!!! I've been sneaking back on the local radio stations and rating music, etc., so I'll be ready for the new single. I've been listening to KIIS for the last 45 min. and suddenly realized I liked the music!!!!! OMFG!!! What happened?????

What a day. I think I shoulda stood in bed. :-/ First the disappointing (to me) album news.  Then my Design Star fav did not win. Then my printer got all messed up. What a day. You know what else - Disappointment does not = Entitlement. So there.  |
