If New Eyes was pretaped yesterday....was his duet with Dimitrius pretaped as well? If so, he won't even have to show up at Idol tonite. ? Sounds like some or all of the solo appearances were pretaped, probably for production reasons (staging?). I expect the duets will be live. Trying to to decide which to watch first, Idol or GOT. We usually watch Idol on DVR a little delayed so we can FF through commercials, then catch up to it live. But GOT sometimes shows up early on HBO on Amazon Prime, so maybe we should watch that first. Hmmm. Sounds like maybe the big, staged numbers were pre-recorded like you said. There are quite a few duets by the voted off contestants....so didn't know if some of those would be done yesterday as well. Was just looking at the Angie Miller duet and it was live...but she was a top finalist. Guess we'll see. I'm sure we'll get a different outfit and maybe hairstyle for the duet. I don't have the GOT dilemma...lol. Never watched it.....altho if I get really bored some day I might go back to episode one and start from scratch and binge watch......I noticed HBO has them all up on demand.

This is just my gut reaction, and may be the ~wrong way to look at things, but IMO the visibility of the streaming platform is more important than the monetary compensation. If Adam were a struggling indie artist scrounging for every penny, that would be one thing, but he's an exceedingly wealthy man. YouTube may be at the bottom as far as payments to the artist, but it looks to me like one of the most prominent measures of popularity and one of the best means of wider exposure. Adam needs exposure for his music far more than the money. If the song catches fire, the money will come. I agree 100% with this, the money isn't that important at the moment to Adam, it's nice but the main priority is to get as much streaming everywhere and as much promo/radio play if possible, the more people see him on YT the more chance of them checking him out on other platforms and the more fans he accumulates the more chance for a tour which is the ultimate aim really I suspect, Adam loves performing live. Yes, I agree, and lord knows we need him to tour. And hopefully he comes to Canada when it happens!! but this girl will travel when the day does come, if need be.

After he'd met Tiesto for the first time, I though I'd never hear the end of it.

I might get some criticism for defying the artists' vision, but then again Adam has been known for changing up songs by others in the past (changing tempo, mostly making fast songs slower). Somebody suggested on the YT feed under NE to try playing back at 1.25 speed, and surprisingly it totally works as a pop song, but loses its dreamy psychedelic qualities. Once you switch back to normal speed, you might even feel it is too slow, but that's by design. Well, that was interesting. It works and certainly has more pep without losing any of the lyrics; Adam still comes through loud and clear or as clear as he gets on this song. So, I can see how a good remix could speed it up for dance purposes. However, not only does it lose the dreamy quality but it is also a lot less sexy. All things considered, I think I will go with slow and sexy. ETA: In case anyone wants to listen to a sped up version but doesn't know how, click on the settings cog icon on the bottom right of the video, then click on Playback Speed which will give you options including 1.25 Hey, that's cool and definitely changes the vibe of the song. I personally prefer the normal speed version as it gives it more soul.

I have a general question. Thinking of the stress placed on not muting the sound and watching all the way though to assure the stream is counted (sites want eyes and ears on for advertising purposes), does anyone know if it matters if you are using AdBlock? I don't think I have heard this addressed. Certainly other sites I view know when I am using AdBlock.
