I wonder why Adam is giving the finger in these photos? It would be interesting to know the context?? He's showing the ring he bought on that finger. Oh, thanks for explaining that. I think I would have shown the ring off in a different way!  |

I did see the first photo yesterday and even scrutinized Adam's face to try to figure out if he was angry and that was why he was giving the finger! LOL |

 By the way: Adam was wearing flat flip-flops here. And suddenly he and Oliver (and the rest) are about the same height. |

lurleene, thanks for reminding me about a few other things on Adam's plate. I had forgotten about the Formula 1 performance in Texax. When is that happening? I also forgot about the animated series he talked about earlier. His voice work on the animated projects he has done has been excellent, IMO. Can't wait for more! Needless to say, he has a lot going on behind the scenes. Each project gives him more connections and more cred and more experience and more respect.
happy, thanks for the info on Donna Summer. I always liked her and thought she had a great voice. Sounds like she and Adam have had a similar journey in some ways. So true! Formula 1 fits somewhere around the time of the QAL N/A tour tho separate. I haven't seen the Donna Summer doc. but I saw one for Mariah Carey. It was an eye opener to hear about the millions they spent to launch her career. So I guess we are lucky that Adam was able to launch with much less money tho not to her level. When Barry Weiss left as the head of RCA, (he was very much in Adam's corner but restricted by the Idol contract) he went to Def Jam and launched Frank Ocean. Frank said in one interview that Barry put up over a million to get him going. I don't think any of the Idol winners were launched with that kind of budget from the label in the beginning. And 2nd place got even less to launch. And I remember Sam's label saying they got him the deal to introduce his single on radio where they played it every hour on all the stations for about a week. If your lead single from your first album cannot take off after that, there is something wrong, lol. Stay With Me went to #1 on pop/HAC/R&B/AC and Alt and top 10 on Rhythmic even #35 on rock and a few other charts. They had him covered on so many formats so no surprise that everyone knew of him and several Grammy's came his way. And it was more about his talent and not all about his sexuality. With the right push/support and money and not limiting him to just pop anything was possible for him. |
