I was able to get my favorite seats for both the 29th & 30th ... front row center in the balcony ... I'm a happy camper!

Wonder if Adam will have a couple dancers in Vegas? Terrence? Vegas means putting on a SHOW! Watched the IG vid several times. I love how thoughtful he is about things. And I'm glad that he likes his management. Sometimes we thing "nothing is going on" but then we find out there there are good things in the works. His management is amazing. Let us be real, most Idols who were pushed/or went indie just dropped off the map. No radio. No big invites. No network performances. No national press coverage. Playing 200 seat clubs. Of course Adam was always a bigger star than they were so that likely worked in his favor. I am pleasantly surprised that the only thing Adam lost without a major label was radio play in the US and internationally. His play in the US was never that great after the first few years anyway but they normally put in enough effort to get him to top 20. Not great but something. Daughtry went indie and he is getting pretty good play on rock radio (which he never got before. Indie but affiliated with Warner so that may help) but he does not seem to be in demand with a lot of opportunities. Adam is getting opportunities and in demand in the US and abroad. It is so exciting with all he is involved in and very diverse exposure.
BTW, has anyone heard how Empire has held up thru the pandemic?

I got a very front row middle section ticket with virtual meet & greet for Wed Oct 27. A 5th row middle section ticket for Sat Oct 30. And a cheap ticket way in the back for Fri Oct 29. Wanted a different view for one night. I forgot to uncheck the M & G box. How do you know if you got this? I am too nervous to actually talk with him. |

Got my ticket for October 23rd. Since I'm going solo I figured, what the heck; going to see Manilow on the 22nd. My two faves back to back.

I like how you put it all in perspective. Even without great radio play, Adam's albums and singles do get write-ups in the media. He even gets good reviews in major publications like RS and BB. And as you say, he even does ok on the charts. He still doesn't get great radio play, but he does get recognition. And it pays off in other ways. He's lucky to have a strong international fan base, too. He's wise to keep active in major causes, LGBT, etc. Keeps him in the public eye a bit more. He gets respect and has celebrity status above and beyond his music. As for Daughtry, who I like BTW a lot, he is one of those singers who seems to be constantly working and performing somewhere or another. I bet his performance schedule is pretty steady under non-COVID times. Adam isn't a "constantly on the road" kind of guy. His solo shows are fewer, but he manages to get high-profile gigs like the Kennedy Honors and that Christmas thing on ABC, etc. And he is a GREAT interview. And it goes without saying that QAL is the gig of a lifetime. But even beyond QAL, he maintains a kind of special status all his own. You are so right when you say he gets "very diverse exposure." All good! |
