It has been great to see Adam live after such a long time! A little Observation: in the beginning of the Live Instagram there had been more than 4000 fans watching. In the end less than 2500. Maybe some people didn't realize they were going to talk politics? Shortly after Pete joined it was at over 5600, and then precipitously dropped and settled around 2500. It would be interesting to know if the US political talk turned off the international fans. i am super proud of Adam for being Politically active!

Maybe some people didn't realize they were going to talk politics? Probably. Usually the numbers grow. This time it dropped fast. I wouldn’t have stayed and listened either, had I not missed seeing Adam for a while. But I wouldn’t have made it much longer. Yeah, unless you're American (and in the right Party), you wouldn't probably wouldn't be interested in their chat.

Maybe some people didn't realize they were going to talk politics? It could be that some foreigners had no idea who Pete Buttigieg is and thus were surprised that it was about politics, but I assume that anybody from the US knew what to expect in order to make the decision to pop in or not. Or... may be some only wanted to quickly see what Adam's hair looks like currently, which outfit he's wearing, and which chair in his London apartment he is sitting on LOL. Hard for me to grasp how anybody would not be interested in politics, even for foreigners outside the US. I am always interested in news from around the globe, especially if there's a personal connection with someone. Sadly, some may have only been hungry for details about Adam's personal life and career may be. Well, he is still in London. Good enough for me for now.

Maybe some people didn't realize they were going to talk politics? Maybe the people who have an interest in US politics stayed. Some from other countries or here who could not give a sh** about Pete or Adam's concerns about the US moved on. If they reached any interested voters or potential voters it was all good (likely the purpose was for the US audience). Adam is very aware that his concerns are about more than singing and entertaining. Bravo to him. Very nice.

I can’t speak for other international fans, but yes, political talk turns me off. I didn’t know the other guy and actually, I only popped in, because I have notifications for Adam‘s IG on. I hoped, Adam would talk a bit more to us fans after that „interview“, but he just pushed the off-button without even saying bye bye. It’s in the middle of the night as well, so watching Adam talk with an unknown politician is probably nothing that most Europeans are willing to stay up for. Good Night!

What a wonderful conversation between two lovely, smart, inspiring men! Adam did a great job. I didn't realize he would be the "questioner." He was definately up to the task. They are two great spokesmen for the future of our country.
And Adam was drop-dead gorgeous.

Loved the IG live. What a pleasant surprise. Adam is such a day of sunshine. So is Mayor Pete. Hi MeggyMeg! Great to see you stop by That chat brought a bit of sunshine for me too, between the dark and smokey Californian skies.

It did NOT bother me that Adam just disconnected after the chat. This was NOT a fan chat. This was a political issues chat with a high-profile person. And yes Mayor Pete is very well-known in the US. It was important to talk about these issues. I can wait a bit later for a fun fan chat from Adam. This was not the time.

His favorite words Yah, I agree, 100% Pete-- Thanks for doing this. Means a lot to have your voice out there!
Two beautiful souls trying hard to open eyes and minds. I stayed and listened, and did notice the drop in interest. (Living in a neighbouring country ...US election politics is of interest to me.)

What a pleasure to watch two articulate men who understand the issues and exude compassion. I do love Mayor Pete. Wasn't that fantastic!!!! Just finished watching it here myself. Was at work when it came on so watched after. Both Adam and Pete are so wonderful and am so happy for Adam to get to speak with him. It must be a real honor. Would love to know how it came about!
