So U-Mix-It at 10:30? I can actually help tonight  And RCA has him recording more new songs??? I hope nothing I'm excited about ends up getting bumped. It must be a little bit tricky because half the album is supposed to be the darker/more angsty stuff. So if they are recording more radio-friendly material (which only makes sense since they wouldn't be delaying to add filler material) then they only have about 6 or 7 slots to play with. They have slots open. We only have 12 titles figured out and with bonus tracks, on the deluxe version, we should get 16. . Better Than I Know Myself 2. OOL 3. Trespassing 4. Cuckoo 5. Broken English 6. Underneath 7. Kickin In 8. Chokehold 9. Shady (the Niles one) 10. Naked Love << Benny Blanco?? 11. ?(2nd one with Claude Kelly)? 12. Never Close Our eyes I think he has another song beside Trespassing the he wrote with Pharrell that also make the album, but I forgot the name. Was that Naked Love? |

Hoopla, how lucky you were! And what an amazing question & answer session. I hope someone recorded it.
I love Cuckoo, too. Not too fond of Trespassing, but it'll probably sound great with all the bells and whistles.

Other song with Pharrell was Kickin In.
I love Cuckoo, and I think it's much better suited to be a single than Trespassing from what I've heard.

Those were just the FIRST TWO questions! *Then a gay man told the saddest story.  He was a nice-looking well-dressed man who had been out in a bar on St. Pat's and got attacked by someone in the bar because the guy thought he touched him. He kept his hand in front of his mouth while he was talking at first, then he kink of teared up and said, "I'm sorry you have to see me looking like this, but look what "they" did to me. His mouth was a mess. All of his front teeth had been knocked out, lips split, face bruised. His question was "I know you must have faced some hard things, too...how do you cope with something like this? With bullying and violence. Adam was just splendid. He was very empathetic/sympathetic. But also very honest. He has never faced anything like that. He had a loving family, and though he knew he was different and it scared him, he wasn't really out in HS and just kept to himself about orientation. He realizes he was very lucky. Not everyone can just move away from "home" to a more supportive community. But he hopes his music reaches people and helps them realize we are all very much more alike than different. He also asked the guy some questions, realllllllllly was caring to him, and his final comment was:
I think you should SUE HIS ASS.*A cute little girl (5th Grade maybe?) asked him if he knew who Justin Bieber was? Adam laughed and smiled and said he doesn't exactly KNOW him, but he has been around him a few times and is really impressed with his talent. He plays guitar, drums--cool! And his new music is supposed to be really good!An older gentleman asked him now that he's a famous celebrity (I lurv how that sounds), what's it like when he goes home to his family? Is anything any different since fame? Adam said nope--dad's in SD and when he sees him, they get along great. Mom's in SF and she really helps him out a lot with things on the home front, very supportive. And I have a brother Neil who is VERY honest with me, has no problem saying "You looked like shit" and I'm "Ummm, okay! Good to know!" (He said more about Neil--was funny--but basically said they all keep him grounded and none of his family treats him any differently since AI.Part 4 coming up. I feel so bad for the man who was beaten..How can he sue some random person,he may never be able to find.It's sure hard to be different in America and most of the world.People are so fearful of anyone who is not like them. I so prefer animals. |

I just love this song.. please be the next single.As much as I'm happy for this video and thank the person who took it,I feel bad for Adam with all the photo taking.. He wants that infinity thing.. I thought the same thing. Instead of taking in the performance and boogying in their seats, they are glued in one position so as not to jostle the camera. They are not interacting with the incredible performer who is within arm's reach of them. What a waste! Yes, as a fan, I want to see video, but, I am beginning to think all these fans watching a camera screen instead of him is an insult. |

Okay....not sure I love Cuckoo acoustically. *ducks* Probably (no doubt, DOES) sound amazing on the album track....but Trespassing is still my jam.
Hoopla!! We should have you at each and every question period!!...
edit/ I'm definitely in the minority about Cuckoo...haha! I'll re-listen!
okay, re-listened. Adam sounds great - the guitar ruins it for me - I think they just have to work out the acoustic arrangement, cuz.....sorry, but it's a big ol' ick to me.

Ah, that acoustic Cuckoo is amazing, and I love the vibe in the room too, with the women in front raising their hands and dancing to it.

OMG! Had to break for CUCKOO! I saw someone on twitter who was supposedly there tonight say C sounded pretty bad...WUT!? Sounds good to me! (I yelled for an encore this afternoon to no avail!) I knew he'd do one of the new songs tonight, damn it! Anyway, here's the last bit for tonight... I'm not sure exactly when this part of the conversation came up...when he was talking to me about choosing new single or answering another question about release date...but he was very open about radio play. Oh, I REMEMBER: Someone asked "Is there anything about the record business or radio you've learned since AI that really surprises you?" A LOT. Radio station play is not how you think it would be. It's not about the quality of a song, or even about what the station's audience wants--it's just politics. It's about the station owner and/or director just making a decision about who/what they want to play. He pointed to the first row of radio peeps (we were in center, right behind them) and said, "I'm sure you guys know how it is, you work in radio. You see it every day." He said that really surprised him.Okay, my hands are giving out, so I'm typing a disclaimer before they do. He talked for a LONG time. As long as any other radio station interview on this promo tour, based on all the vids I've seen. So I KNOW I've forgotten questions.* And my recap is NOT verbatim--but I'm afraid no one took video of the whole Q&A. I know the station didn't. Damn it. That's a long story there as to why he was in KS in first place--Lawrence is a cool little college town (Go Jayhawks!) but... I talked to lots of people before, during the meet and greet, and after it was all over. Interesting stuff, all of it. BOTTOM LINE: I GOT MY BIRTHDAY HUG! I AM ON CLOUD NINE! And I did sniff him--he just smelled like a nice, clean guy, no special scent. But he does give great hugs. He had to pry Mary away from him, lol...she was clutching him like she was never gonna let go! And the ONLY thing I regret is that while we were lining up for pics, he was still in the corner of the stage with a couple radio peeps. I was looking right at him--he smiled, yawned, stretched waaaaay back with both hands over his head in a near-backbend and I could see 18 inches (of his beautiful lily-white skinny belly, you bad girls!  ) I would give anything if I had been taking vid at that moment. Then again, it's burned into my brain, so I guess that'll suffice!  *Like "If you had the power to change one thing in the world, what would it be?" He gave the guns answer again (like in the what would you do if you were President vid). He said just get rid of them. Why do people need to hurt each other?If you have any questions, feel free to ask--it might trigger more memories for me! I HOPE I'M WRONG AND SOMEONE RECORDED THE WHOLE THING! |
