Maybe I‘ve missed it, but I‘m wondering just now, why we‘re thinking Adam is going to sing Closer to you tonight? Was it announced somewhere? On the first page of this thread Gelly posted something from one of the co-writers. So I think people are assuming he must have told them. 🤩 Ah, ok. Thank you! I found that tweet from Gelly, but had no idea, who that woman she quoted was and why she would know about Adam’s song choice.

Superpower is out there and doing well, on the charts moving up. We've heard it performed a few times now on TV. Personally I'm ready for a new song and CTY is so beautiful. After seeing the live version he did I believe he will blow the audience away with this song! Can't wait!!!!!! As far as Superpower goes I like it, but my friend who is a casual Adam fan, heard Adam sing it on The Talk and she didn't like it at all. Her words, "why would he sing a silly song like that when he has such a beautiful voice?" I have a hunch she will love CTY if she can stay awake late enough to watch it tonight. I think your friend's response is typical of some people who are just casually aware of Adam. They know he has a BIG voice that is very beautiful. They seem to think that just because his voice is "pretty," he should always sing songs that are "pretty." SP isn't a pretty song, but it's fun and powerful and playful. And that's a major part of what Adam is, too. CTY is more in the "pretty" category. A lovely, heart-wrenching love song. It's a song that should appeal to a wide audience. Fingers crossed. Hope the ensuing video from the show gets mucho views!

Closer to You on Corden makes me very happy. It is gorgeous and plays to Adam’s strongest suit. This could be a real TV moment. I feel the same. It's about time for Adam to showcase what he's best at. Fingers crossed that it's really going to happen. In the meantime, I am happy streaming SP. I like the song.

CTY on the album was very special. The live session was off the charts special. I believe Adam will slay it as he did in the live sessions. That is what he does with these beautiful and emotional songs. That is what he has done for years. I don't think he needs some extra reason to make that song connect with his fans or other people who hear him. He is a great artist and will be singing a beautiful song with heartfelt lyrics. He does make you feel something and always has. I don't need to feel sorry for him to connect with his music when he sings a beautiful ballad like CTY or Believe or WWTLF or TISI. I think the performance on the Holiday Special with be great as well. I don't know what the plans are for radio but they will have to wait until Jan. I think CTY would have done well on radio but just not sure about the timing when sP is still rising and doing pretty well.

I can see both sides. I'm convinced that cty will to it's Job VERY well to wow the audience and i would also agree that cty might be more relatable from a general public point of View. On the other hand i agree with what has been said about strategy. To sum up i will enjoying either performance, maybe cty a tiny bit more and it wont make or break Adams career, he's well off and has nothing to worry about. I thought Cordon was taped today and aires tomorrow? Pascale glad you've found your way here and all the best for your journey out of a dark space.

Pascal, and TY for telling us your “path to Adam”! you said “rediscovered” - were you a fan before? Such a warm welcome 😘🌸 I had heard Adam’s songs before on the radio and knew he was singing with Queen, so I knew of him but not more than that. His message of being the weird kid in school and that it’s ok to be who you are, is what most struck me. It was so recognisable, as a child and teenager I felt that I didn’t belong, that I was different, so I adapted, shut my mouth and tried to blend in and be like everyone else to be accepted. Half a lifetime later, it caught up with me and I landed in a big black hole of which I am now slowly getting out. I'll add my welcome to Adamtopia also, Pascale!! This is a wonderful community. Love your avi picture of the dog! In addition to Adam's incredible voice and performance skills (not to leave out being a gorgeous human being in so many ways) his message that it's ok to be who you are also resonates with me. I was always the "nerdy" kid as a child and teenager, and was very different from my two sisters. Even wanting a career not mainstream for women at the time (boy, have the tides turned in the veterinary field!), and not desperate to get married, and not wanting kids (didn't get married till I was 47) made me very "different" from others in my age group. But I was so lucky to have parents (like Adam) who supported my life choices. Adam has been so important in my life over the past 10+ years, helping me through so many challenges (health and otherwise) that I've faced. I'm hoping he can help you out of your "big black hole". He brings so much joy to this world! So excited to see Adam on the Corden show tonight!!! I absolutely love "Closer to You", and as others have said, I'm sure he will kill it!

In the eastern time zone it's on after midnight hence becoming the 20th. So it's on tonight at 12:37 am According to my listing. Hope that's right have the DVR although I'm going to try to watch it tonight. Have to get up for work at 5:30am!🤩

Actually, I agree with this in that CTY is definitely, IMO, much better live than SP. I love SP, but it's one of the few Adam songs where I prefer the recorded version. If we're talking just about what I would personally enjoy hearing, it would be CTY. Hopefully it will create some buzz for Adam and for the EP itself. I still don't get it, but it is what it is, and Adam slaying a live performance is never a bad thing.

I've watched this guy a few times and am not impressed with his reviews. He sings too much himself as though he's showing off and very much a Freddie purist so does a lot of comparisons which I think he's been told about a few times. He said he likes Adam and that Adam brings his own talent to the songs but there's always a caveat. Anyway, he's mostly complimentary but I still don't like him.
