Not to confuse the issue, but the demo does have a bridge. It's just that the bridge has no lyrics. ;D So, I am hoping for a co-write for Adam!

lynne, your comment is trapped in my quote. It's worth seeing so you should try to fix it! :-*

Q3

The demo does not have a bridge. ???

My English is not good enough to explain this, but for example the bridge on Strut is "I'll be your mirror darling , let your hair down , show me what you're working with, and let me see you strut". It's different from the rest of the song, it is almost at the end of the song, and I don't listen to any bridge on the demo. ???

Or for Sure Fire Winners the bridge starts at " Take a walk on the wild with me.......gonna take you to the top to the brink of what you believe...

I have avoided listening to the demo -- I only listened to it once when it was discovered on YouTube. Perhaps I should listen to it again. [No, decided against that!]

Are people are referring to the vocal arrangement change on Adam's version? It is nice but it is not a "new bridge". Added dynamics to the song, but it was there.

[I will listen to both versions tonight -- and if I am wrong which is very impossible, I will retract this comment.)

ETA: Thanks MySpenser50 -- I get it now. At least my memory is not totally shot -- the long instrumental bridge has the vocal in it on the real track. Two thoughts about writing credit for that -- 1. we do not know who came up with it. 2. Actually writing has little to do with a vocalist/pop star getting songwritting credit for modifying an existing song -- even if they are responsible for the change/improvement.

Yeah, vocal bridge is definitely new. New lyrics per Sam's article, and I'm assuming a new vocal melody over the instrumental that was in the demo.

My first thought was also that this might be Adam's contribution and hence he could get a co-write, but then I remembered that Hollywood Reporter article that had the writers of the song, and Adam was not one of them. It was Dr Luke, Claude Kelly, Olligee I think and one more person (Kiriakou something?) No time to look up the article, but hope you guys remember.

So I don't think there will be a co-write. :(

Thanks for the information. Off to ninja, lol....

GAH!!!! JUST read that too!!! Guess that is why he started following him/tweet to him. NOW that is a surprise...even though Bruno is song writer...good for Bruno to do that.

If people are referring to the vocal arrangement change on Adam's version -- that is not a "new bridge". It is nice but it is not a bridge.

I also think that few singers could even do it -- and Adam probably added it. (Similar to what he did on PUU.)

Q3, the bridge on the demo is from 2:19 to 2:34. You can listen to that part and not be ruining your thoughts on Adam's version.
