Good question. My guess is that Kevin can play either keyboards or guitar, where Tommy can only play guitar. If the room is large enough, the keyboards would be a better choice because they are more versatile. If the room is too small, they go with a guitar. Kevin gives Adam that flexibility. Kevin also sings backup which Adam needs to sing BTIKM. In addition, I don't really know the extent of Tommy's musicianship and whether he can instantly transpose the keys when Adam needs to adjust them or follow his improvisations so flawlessly. Kevin is a GOOD musician. Might be under estimating Tommy but I just don't know. |

And did you mean 'ring' instead of 'sing'? Sauli has answered questions about his rings recently and none of them are commitment rings. |

I've hesitated to say this, but my opinion (which is really not worth much since I know nothing about radio and of course music tastes vary a lot) is that BTIKM is just not a great song and that's why it's struggling. I think if Adam releases a better song radio WILL play him and it certainly sounds like there are better songs on the album. So I'm very hopeful for the future. Apologies to those who love BTIKM, it's JMHO. As much as it pains me to agree with someone on #teamglamweave  , this sounds pretty sensible to me. Not that I think its a bad song, it just doesn't strike me as being that interesting--interesting enough to win a huge amount of radio play for someone who is not quite an established A-lister yet on pop radio. But don't hesitate or apologize! I think, overall, that this is a hopeful attitude, not a negative one. It says that radio is ready to love a song by Adam! And I also think it's still to early to call this one yet--who knows what the coming weeks will bring for BTIKM? Funny because there seems to be a lot of people who don't love BTIKM, but my husband and I actually love the song. After 31 years of marriage, I guess the lyrics really resonate with us somehow. We've clearly made the choice to stay, lol, because, after all, we are the only people, literally at this point, who know each other better than we know ourselves. I really love these acoustic versions! That being said, my husband and I were joking about making a sure fire pop hit by taking various overused common sayings in our language and stringing them together so the song could sing itself. We made a few really "good" ones which we sang accompanied by his guitar, lol. My son is friends with someone who writes for some big current pop singers. At her house the other night, she was singing some lyrics for a new song and asked the group if the lyrics were too good for pop, and she was very serious. Apparently, she is a great lyricist with very cool lyrics on non pop songs, but pop can't be too deep, as they say. My son, who writes music first before lyrics, says he barely cares what the words are if he is writing a dance song. It is all about the beats and the sounds and the way they interact with each other. He does care about lyrics, and the way they work sonically, and does care about making sure they arent cheesy. I love lyrics that work together with music to take me where they want me to go. That is when music gets magical for me. Well, that and/ or anything that comes out of Adam's mouth. |

And here it looks like Adam has wandered into a scene from Walking Dead (that's the new zombie show all the kids are talking about, right?) Yeah!! BWAHAHAHAHA! I thought so too! |

Are there a lot of people who don't like BTIKM? I've only seen a few and of course, all opinions are welcome.
I happen to love it. There is so much to listen to, layers and layers of vocals and instrumentals.
What I can't figure out is why I love Rhianna's new song, "We Found Love." I swear it is so damn repetitive and she says the same lyrics over and over and over. It is basically everything I usually hate about Pop music! But I can not get that song and the beat out of my head!!! I even downloaded it today! :-/
