Not sure, but maybe Josh Groban? That's it! Thank you so much! I was going crazy trying to think of it. Interestingly Josh Groban has just been announced to play in the newest revival of Sweeney Todd on Broadway. It’s a great operatic role and it will be interesting to see if he has the acting chops to pull it off. He does have a great technical voice but I personally find him boring. It is a great opportunity for him though. |

The video Adam reposted now has more than 141k views.
For comparison, Robbie Williams' last week performance has 43k views, and John Legend's performance from the week before has 61k views. I guess MATB has nore views partly because of the gay theme and partly because it's just that good.
The video posted on the BBC page has 13k views (it's a little longer at the end, and shows Adam thanking the dancers and audience).
The song's Youtube, which Adam posted, has 28k views. Do we know how many streams it has on Spotify and other streaming services?

I think Josh is a great singer too but not as diverse. But it works for him. A net worth of $25M and several #1 songs on the adult contemporary.
I often wonder if Adam would have had more chart success if he had gone for other genres and not just with pop. His first album/singles with RCA did very well with a combination of pop/pop-rock/glam-rock. But when RCA changed regimes, they said Adam saw himself as pop/pop dance and wanted to go more in that direction for his second album. But in an interview, TPTB said they saw him as more pop-rock/rock but let him Executive produce his 2nd album and do what he wanted. It went #1 but they didn't support it much so nothing did well. Then RCA turned around and wanted him to do a rock covers album. So clearly they wanted rock and not pop/dance and dancers from him. But he did not want to do a covers rock album at that point in his career and that was understandable. When he later joined Queen, my bet is they would have loved to have him still on their label.
Withholding support is what some do when they want to make a point. Justified or not. Happened with Kelly Clarkson at RCA. Very successful 1st pop album. Then she wanted to go more rock. They did not want her to go in that direction so the support was held back for her more pop-rock/rockish album and it did not do nearly as well as before. Then she went back to her original pop style. They were happy and the support and success followed. So what they wanted from her was the opposite of what they wanted from Adam.
I think RCA would have supported Velvet as it was not heavily pop but we will never know. I just hope Adam is happy and he and Warner UK are on the same page. He deserves that. He deserves support.
