Just saw a commercial for That's My Jam with Adam. He is too funny. He was singing in the original tune to Believe. Don't know the song Muffin Man. I find it so interesting so many things go back to Believe. The fan reviews, the critical reviews, the funny, cute skits. Yet, the Grammys wouldn't push that magnificent vocal forward for best male vocal. Was it two years ago it was presented for consideration? Don't remember the year. Just goes to show you where the American music industry is. It really is not a best performance, it is a most sales. I know this, I have known this for years, but it still bothers me (as you can tell  ) Just venting, sorry. |

Guess I am just being picky today, this quote was from Brian, not Roger. It is in the Netflix movie about Queen and Adam. Unless, Roger just said the WOW, but I don't think so. Interesting this is coming from an official website. |

I know this, I have known this for years, but it still bothers me (as you can tell ) Just venting, sorry.I get the frustration and I feel it too. Pop is all about the sales and popularity. But his team knows that but they only submit his work to the pop category anyway. They know they don't stand a chance against those with massive radio and streaming numbers who appeal to the youngsters. Hopefully one day they will try something different, in one of the less competitive categories, but they seem wedded to pop so I would not bet on it, lol. Even when Adam said he was doing a rock n roll musical with an album, in one of the recent interviews he threw in pop and disco would be represented so I doubt rock or alt will be a Grammy avenue for him. So just going to hope for a good album because it does not seem we (me, ha) will finally get that rock album or something on rock or alt radio. But as long as he is happy with the outcome, and can tour with it, that is what matters the most. |

But as long as he is happy with the outcome, and can tour with it, that is what matters the most. I always wondered how the genre for music that is submitted is chosen. I never could figure if the artist submitted in a certain category or if the Grammy's themselves chose the category to place it in. I have read there are certain things that make music either pop or rock. Maybe he just has more pop influences than rock. You are right about him being happy and able to tour it. In the case of Believe it was best male vocal, I don't know if a genre is picked for that. There are definitely more than one instances on High Drama where he could get best male vocal. It would be nicer for his own music, but the vocals on the new album are extraordinary. As they always are. |
