12.26.11 Adam News & Info

Jessie J's new video: Domino

I know I should not, but since I'm in the mood I will. And this has only slight connection to the messages I'm citing - just wanted to get this out in general :

I think Adam came without bodyguard? It was a private visit anyway and in general, this is not a bad place fanwise and also one of the safest countries worldwide. People usually keep their distance since we highly respect privacy. And please remember - most Finns, and even the police do speak English.

I don't think Adam's management had anything to do with this visit, not even with the club organizing VIP section and so. DTM has been one of Sauli's favorite clubs since even before BB at 2007, he's well know and VIP there anyway. The fact that he's in town and with Adam would automatically have alerted the manager to do those arrangements to make their visit to the club smooth and to guarantee some privacy for them and their company if they wished so. Or Sauli or one of his friends could have visited there earlier to tell they'd be coming that night.

What happened, happened and we don't know all the background. And - like the police officer said it was a very minor event and similar things happen in Finland most likely every day and place. No big deal - in this country. But because of the mixed reports of possible assaults the police had to take them in and let them sober up before questioning them. If they'd been some American fellow called John Smith and a Finn by name Matti Virtanen, no news at all.

Regarding the bouncers - their job is to get the trouble out of the club and if it looks so to them/they've been told something happened like assault call the police to take care of the rest of it. The police will then decide if they'll take the peeps involved in to the station, or to the drunk tank or let them just go. And that's what happened in this case. The boys made news world wide, hopefully learnt a lesson about too much vodka especially with jetlag and are still going strong as a couple, as far as we know/hope/etc.

Let's move on, I'm pretty sure they'd like to do that too.

Where to is the next ride in this fandom....? I'm booking my ticket already.

THIS.

Seems good sleuthing to me. I certainly got that very definitive vibe too, as in the area Queen/Gaga is over - period. We will never know the exact timelines, but I also tend to trust that the lady from the Times got this right.

It may have been closer to 10 days rather than 1 week though, because Adam was asked to come to Heidi Klum's Halloween parties and he did not give any public response. Not that he needed to, he could have contacted Heidi behind the scenes, but it just seemed odd, given that Heidi had used twitter presumably to make him either attend or at least respond.

My suspicion is that Adam had just found out about the EMAs and was trying to re-juggle his otherwise busy Exec. Producer calendar to fit everything in, but that means that a week before 10/31/11 he must have already known. Still very tight timeline.

I can also totally see how Gaga would try to make a performance about 'HER show must go on', instead of Queen's show and it is not like she could handle these kind of vocals with ease - in fact I cannot imagine how she would sound singing this ever.

A further indication to me that SusieFierce may be onto something is the knee-fall that Brian makes at the end of their performance. That had all kinds of 'Thank you - Halleluja - finally' written all over it, as in... he never thought he'd see this happen and that to me could mean any one of various things: a) TSMGO finally got performed live in its original key and sounding like it was intended; b) A performance of Queen together with Adam, which Brian always had wanted and c) pulling off any performance at the EMA's with a qualified frontman on short notice.

We will probably never know.

No, there is no confirmation about NYE, but that has nothing to do with him not having a CD out, because he certainly has a single out and will promote that single in January. It's insane to think that he won't.

He did hightail it back to the U.S. this very dead week for some reason though. If it's not NYE (and I think he certainly could have performed on some show if he wanted). My guess is perhaps wanted one last hurrah with Sauli before plunging headlong into promo mode.

I thought – though L.A. will be very quiet this week – he could still be having planning meetings for the video, which I predict he'll shoot next week. He can still meet with director and art director to discuss look, FASHION, casting, etc. They shoot next week and begin talk show promo for the single toward the end of the week – radio, Leno, Conan or other L.A. shows. Ellen probably won't come back until 1/9, but I would totally think he'll be on her show that week.

I fully expect him to do that standard rounds of talk shows (there are MANY), where he can promote BTIKM leading up to it going to radio at the end of January, when the video is likely to be released as well.

Then, as Shosh has already said, he can go to UK in February and promote BTIKM there and in other international appearances (following Kelly C's pattern, in particular). After that, he can segue almost seamlessly into album promo, hitting the shows he hadn't previously hit. (Though I would NOT be surprised if he hit Ellen and Leno twice, but probably not until second single is named ...)

I would really look at Kelly's pattern and imagine he would be doing every very similar throughout.
