I just don't think Adam is very comfortable with promoting himself, maybe it's a modesty thing. He certainly loves promoting other artists. We've always said Adam is really humble, considering how talented he is. This is business doesn’t matter how you look at it... so imo he must do self promo even more than organized promo, especially now that he is in the official promo period... he needs to “lean in”, or have someone do it for him... if I were a “newbie”, say followed him out of curiosity after seeing AI or Ellen, how engaged by Adam will I get? I guess I am repeating myself from yesterday, so I’ll stop...

I'm changing the subject here, but I am curious if Rocketman is rated R in the States. The press has made such a big deal about this sex scene making this movie more "honest" that BR. It is rated PG here. bamafan and didilynn What is it rated where you are? It's rated R here. I don't know what criteria made it be rated R. There wasn't any explicit or graphic scene. You see two gay guys kissing and then you see somebody's bare back and somebody's else's knees for two seconds. Of course gay sex is implied but only implied. I think with Freddie....we saw kisses and gay sex was implied. I don't see much difference. That extra little two seconds of bare knees and a bare back must have constituted "gay sex". ETA I see svca thinks the R rating might have been for the drug scenes. I have no idea, but there were quite a few of those...cocaine snorting and pill popping. I saw RM the other night. The sex scenes were not nearly as explicit as I thought they would be. He does snort some cocaine. Takes pills, etc. The sex is not that graphic but strongly implied. The R rating is appropriate, I think, at least in the US.

There is absolutely nothing personal on there. Only business.

I sometimes read one of the Russian Queen fan’s forums and they are saying that about 5 minutes of the movie got censored out=cut for the release there. also some dialogue got changed to avoid gay references. ...what a shame...

They cut even milder things from BR in China. Not unexpected. BR opened at #1 in Russia so I don't think anything was cut there. But no surprise in that climate they would cut out any gay sex scene for RM in Russia. Silly yes, but unexpected no. And yes bamafan, drug use was also listed as one of the reasons RM was rated R.

Appears Javi stayed at home holding down the fort and taking care of Pharaoh. Several pics of the neighborhood and this vid Doesn't Javi still have a job? It would be rather hard to follow Adam around the world, for his promotion, and keep your job, lol.

Well, he needs a job to stay legally in the US / maintain a work permit so he won't likely be jetting around.

There is absolutely nothing personal on there. Only business. So I guess I'm confused...I'm not on twitter at all...I hear Nica saying he needs to promote himself businesswise, but I see Skaschep saying he's losing followers because of lack of personal posts. So are other artists on SM promoting business or personal life, or both? Just curious as I don't follow anybody besides Adam...well, Clay but I think he's allergic to SM...it usually gets him in trouble lol.
