I liked it, too. Toby is such a fan boy in a good way. He appreciates Adam's artistry and is not shy to say so. He also cares about Adam, the person, being concerned that Adam has his privacy and away time. Having said that, Adam is a master at shaping the interview to fit his agenda, and not getting pulled off track. Also, in keeping it positive and grateful, when he could have agreed with Toby that the paps and fans are a pain. Adam just won't go there. I am sure that there are times that Adam is highly frustrated and even pissed about some of the media, and even some of the fan antics, but, he doesn't air that. That's something I admire about him. We all have challenges in our lives, but, it is how we deal with them and how we "spin" them that makes the difference. Adam said in one recent Q&A that when you are depressed it helps to think of all the good things you have. He doesn't only talk that, he believes it and lives it. He turns things into positivity. The adversity he uses to drive him harder, to find new creativity, to look at what he has and what he can achieve. Yes. It really is inspiring. I have been so inspired by watching the way Adam handles things in his life. |

I agree with you except that BTIKM is a ballad -- it is not mid-tempo. That is why it doesn't easily fit into a weekend night syndicated show (SNO) or on most CHR stations - who played WWFM. ETA: The good-evil artist is quite old and not invented by Adam. It goes back centuries. Are you sure about this? It is awfully close to WWFM. I've seen reviews from music sites and radio that classify it as "mid-tempo", not "down-tempo". ITA, Adam did not invent the good vs evil/light vs dark theme. If Carrie copied Adam, then Adam copied PINK! Carrie just showed up and put on whatever clothes they had for her to wear. I don't think she is a real "deep thinker".  WWFM is 93 BPM BTIKM is 82-83 BPM I do not know if there is an official definition but normally popular music compositions that are 90 - 120 BMP are called mid-tempo. The term ballad has two meanings -- I used it in the more modern sense of a slow tempo song. It is important to the emotional expression of BTIKM for it to be slow but that is not the best thing for CHR radio. In any case, WWFM has a faster tempo than BRIKM. ETA: I fixed my typos. |

I have been so inspired by watching the way Adam handles things in his life. I so completely agree with everything that Cassie says here. Adam talks alot about realness, but I'm sure there are times when he's gritting his teeth & covering up his frustration with that beautiful smile. It's all just part of his job now & he gets that. |

Alright, Tobey can be kind of, um, yeah, at times, but I liked this interview that he did with Adam. Said some really nice things. agreed. I liked the bit when he said "Thank you for your art." If I ever met GNAFL, this is what I'd want to say to him. Then I'd smell him. ;D |

Down the rabbit hole once again, watching the Jezebel performance of the new songs, and then the EMAs one more time. What struck me this time was how absolutely enthralled ADAM is with singing and performing for an audience. It's obvious to me that this is what he lives for. This is his drug, his high, his completion. He commits himself totally in that moment, that phrase, that soaring note, that funky beat, that tender, vulnerable passage. He gives his all, the audience takes it in, revels in it, and returns it to him. I am reminded of how he finished the "fill in the blank." "Music is ____" He responded, "Music is air." Essential to his being, his existence. There was a brief dance moment in Chokehold, I think, where he did a move that I recognized. I had seen child Adam do the same move in the home movie of his lipsyncing to something. He has been preparing for this his whole life. Certainly, this is a powerful part of Adam's appeal as a performer. We can't help but get swept up in his consuming joy and passion. He makes us want to listen to music again.... or at least HIS music. His performance. You are so right about the dance move. I saw it and it made me wonder what seemed so old/new about it. I realize what it was now that you've pointed it out. Also, so precious, today when someone asked him if he was interested in writing a book and he replied, "can I sing it?" Singing and performing are his core -- and, it passes thru him to his audience. |
