And as for Adele, she was wise to both identify and feel her niche audience right off the bat. Her appeal is very broad and younger fans find it cool to like her. So she's accepted easily by a huge audience, Adam has not had that same identity issue. He was on Idol at the old end of the age limit, so he was kind of past the teen audience from the get-go. (even though we know he younger fans). I know his open and sometimes over-the-top gay identity is too much for some. And his music is a real mix of genres, which can be a plus or a minus at times. With his obvious vocal prowess, he should have large appeal to same audience that Adele has, but he's far edgier and riskier (ex. his gay male video at this Vegas shows). I don't think he will ever have that more mainstream Adele-type fanbase. I really don't. We diehard love him for what he is, with all the complications that go with it. But even with that voice, those good looks and that wonderful personality, he is just not everyone's cup of tea. Glad he's doing other things, too. Animation work, etc. More to come, I hope. It probably helps that every one of Adele's songs sounds the same lol (at least to me). I find her incredibly boring. I get excited when Adam comes out with a new album, because each one is a bit different. |

I'm wondering if someone here can help me. Lately, I hardly see anyone's post - - - just their name and an empty box where the post should be. Or, I'll see the comment the poster opens with, but no photo or story or item they've brought over to the forum; again, just an empty space. I can't figure this out! Help! Not a techie, but I can't see a lot of the posts, and definitely no pics, etc. when I'm on my phone. I don't have any problems though on my pc. |

I'm sorry, I'm just as puzzled as you are.. Lately IG posts aren't opening up on this forum when I post them, and for a little bit I couldn't see the tweets I was bringing over, as well as another person's that I can usually see. Then, the tweets started posting again, but IG never came back. Q3 recommended that I write a few words before posting tweets or IG that I bring over to the forum because some people were having problems seeing them and she thought this might help, but evidently not for everyone. Q3 is probably the best person to ask about this. I'll be switching over to a new computer soonish from my old and obsolete one, and hopefully that will fix any issues coming from my end, but it also depends on your computer and how up-to-date it is, etc. |

I have often had the same thing happened to me. One of the things that helped was getting rid of Chrome. Safari or Firefox works much better but Chrome does not work well on this site if you are on an iPad, especially. That was the biggest change and it made quite a difference. Sometimes just refreshing the page will make it load better. |

My DH is a big fan, and the other night he was listening to her new song. At first I didn’t think it sounded bad, but when she really gets going her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Can’t wait for more new Adam music! |

Yeah, her voice is so scratchy, and she always seems to push for the notes...makes my throat hurt listening to her. |

This has happened to me for the last two or three weeks. I have tried a lot of things, but nothing works. What's really strange is that when I view the site incognito all the video, igs, and tiktoks show up. I use Chrome but with lots of privacy and security settings, so I tried toggling them off and allowing cookies etc similar to incognito mode, but it didn't work. So I toggled all my settings back and when I want to view video switch to incognito. Then back to regular logged in mode to post. Like now  To switch to incognito mode in Chrome simultaneously click: CNTL Shift n |

You can also add duckduckgo to many existing browsers like Chrome and it will become your default instead of Google. Go to duckduckgo.com/about for more info. DuckDuckGo is an internet search engine that emphasizes protecting searchers' privacy and avoiding the filter bubble of personalized search results. DuckDuckGo does not show search results from content farms. It uses various APIs of other websites to show quick results to queries and for traditional links it uses the help of its partners and its own crawler. Wikipedia |
