Happy, I know what you mean about 2:40, but I can't think of it either. But I know we've heard it before.
Also, the little hand gesture he does at 1:28 is from the Velvet video in the beginning lol. The little foot stompy thing he does at 3:33 reminds me of Marry The Night from Glee and some of the dancers' moves towards the end of the movie remind me of the Ghost Town dancers.
Such a fun video. And those dancers are very sexy IMO.

I like Daughtry and I'm glad he's got a song high on the rock charts. It always strikes me that while Adam does some very high-profile appearances and performances, he just can't seem to break through that radio wall. Daughtry doesn't do those big showier gigs (to my knowledge) but he sure does well on rock radio. I sure hope one of Adam's new songs breaks through. US radio is really tough for him.True. Daughtry does not get those high profile gigs or the press like Adam solo or with Queen. Daughtry did perform on the Kelly Clarkson show with a song on his last album last year or so. But not much else. After Adam being out there for 13 or 14 years with his own material and fronting Queen, you would think his team would try something other than US pop radio. They have never shown him much love after WWFM. IIHY and GT did okay but not on the level of WWFM in the US. Adam is more diverse than many of the other artists who manage to get their songs on different charts at the same time. So it is hard to understand why he is limited to pop or nothing. Not expecting massive radio play for him in the US but you have to get some radio traction on AC, alt, rock or something to get consideration for nominations. Hmm... Not sure if Adam is "limited to pop or nothing" or who even determines that, but him being very diverse might have something to do with it. Pop is a big umbrella. In terms of chart success as compared to someone like Daughtry, I think we are talking about two very different artists. One is very mainstream and rather predictable in his musical identity, while the other one is edgy and challenges "norms", plus he is rather unpredictable with his repertoire as he can sing any genre. I certainly know what I prefer.. |

One is very mainstream and rather predictable in his musical identity, while the other one is edgy and challenges "norms", plus he is rather unpredictable with his repertoire as he can sing any genre. I certainly know what I prefer.. It has been pop radio or nothing for Adam. It was always CHR/HAC for him. It was pretty much the same for Daughtry when he was with RCA. He did not start to chart on Rock radio until he went independent a few years ago. His team stopped chasing after pop radio acceptance and now rock plays him a lot. And it is a fact that some other artists get played on different charts and are not limited to CHR/HAC. Their teams think outside the box and don't limit them. Adam is not going anywhere on radio trying to compete with the pop divas and Harry Styles. There has always been the excuse by fans that Adam does not get radio play because he challenges norms or is not safe. That excuse worked for some before LNX (CHR/HAC/RAP/R&B/Rhythmic, Sam(CHR/HAC/R&B/Rhythmic/Alt), Maneskin (rock/ CHR/HAC/Alt) and Frank Ocean (CHR/HAC/R&B/Rhythmic) but not now, imo. Adam is no more outside the mainstream and unsafe than they are. I do find him more interesting and just as worthy of diverse radio play and audiences tho, lol. Heck even pop divas Demi and Miley have #1 rock and alt albums. I just think that Adam should have had recognition on other charts along with and not only CHR/HAC. If other disagree that is fine too. Just different opinions. |

@lurleene, I am not arguing with the well informed facts that you state. Still, we do not know the answers to some obvious questions, or do we? Good thing that Adam seems to be happy with his new team, at least he said so a few days ago. He clearly has been getting opportunities that some chart toppers don't get.
