12.17.11 BTIKM lyrics, full song, Shanghai

Awww Smokey, sorry to hear you don't like the new song. If you want to come over for a hug and reassurance, my door is open. I have chocolates too.... ;D YES, I love the song! I am sure there will be others on the album that you will love.

Buder is right. His decision as EP is to choose a single that will finally break the door wide open for his dream to be a POP STAR. It may not be my (or our) dream for him so that blurs my/our reaction. Let him have his dream and when he becomes a mega star and an A-lister (IMO he is not there yet), he can be edgier and take more chances. After all, he has balls of steel.

SUSIEFIERCE, have a super great birthday! And to others I have missed, belated HB.

To all newbies, welcome. Lumpia, I am also a Pinay. Glad to have you here.

After hearing the Snippet I didn't like it, because, I think, I was disappointed. I've expected something "epic", but the day after I started to realise that Adam really needs a hit now, something safe. And I started to like it, now I even love it and for me it is the best song, Adam has ever recorded in studio. Also it is something he can sing live and showchases his voice, not like for example. Showing so much range is very smart, too, because for someone who has no knowledge about techniques and so on it is something tey can understand, the reason why we hear people talking about his range so often.

I had no time till now to read yesterdays thread till the end, and I hope noone already said it, but I thought about why I love the very beginning, where he takes the breath and sings the the first word, so much.
The deep breath is like someone wants to say something that is very difficult to talk about. It is like the deep breath you take to relax a little bit. You know what I mean? The moment when he starts singing, there is only his voice, like everyone holds their breath to listen to what he is going to say. But also it set the focus on his voice. I love this few seconds.

If it was done, it was shot in super-ultra-mega TOP, TOP SEKRIT. Which, with the way Adam has been with this stuff, probably means yeah, he has.

But I kind of doubt it. Seems like they like to get a little pre-publicity for video shoots with BTS and still shots released from the set, etc. Not even a whisper of that has happened.

And just want to say, ITA with the assessments of BTIKM as the lead single. It was a very smart, strategic move. He needs to punch through a very capricious, yet solid barrier and being an international artist, that makes it all the more difficult for him, because not every song is going to have the same appeal in every country.

There were two major walls up for him during the FYE era – one of the biggest U.S. CHR stations and the UK market. If this is the song that will pave his way with those and get him in to that inner circle – it will be done. He has the star power, charisma, performance ability, interview skills to do all the rest.

One major CHR hit, and his path will be paved. The other singles shouldn't be nearly as difficult and if it's like how the pattern has been with MOST artists I've experienced on CHR, once they're broken through, their next singles are fast-tracked to heavy rotation regardless of the quality or fit with the format (this isn't 100% of the time, but A LOT of the time that I've observed on my station, especially if the artist is already a "name").

I love that place, 田子坊 ， It's so neat, every store has its own uniqueness, every corner you turn you find some special thing.
