I am back on page 20 but had to jump ahead to the end of this thread to add my 2 cents worth.
I just LOVE all of the snippets, ear worms each and every one of them. Forgive me if I am reiterating others.
NCME: Lovely melody but I am afraid that Adam will be marginalized somewhat if this is the single because it will be all about Bruno when he is asked about the song during publicity tours. I am personally tired of hearing about Pink, Lady Gaga, etc. from FYE era. Adam needs to get credit and be legitimized (is that a word) by having the single be his own creation.
Trespassing: Awesome song, love the message but too many fast lyrics for people to sing along with as they listen on the radio. Casual listeners may not want to work that hard.
Naked Love: OMG, can you say schmexy? I love everything about this song but agree with others who say that the US isn't ready for a gay man sing some of these lyrics. Adam would forever have to explain that the song is about loving someone as they are without all the window dressing but I see too many smirks/snarks/yeah rights from DJs. I have no doubt it would be a chart topper overseas.
Cuckoo: Yes, yes, yes! Easy to sing to, catchy lyrics, great hook, nothing objectionable for the pearl clutchers. It's original, unique, has that something extra that sets it apart, yet it fits right in with top 40.
Any one of these songs has my vote because of their sheer awesomeness, but because I want Adam to have the BEST chance for a MEGA HIT, I have to go with Cuckoo for the win! 8-)

I love Naked Love. I want Adam to have a song you can dance to, and I can see this getting a lot of club play, if RCA promotes it to club djs. But I wouldn't expect radio to play it yet.
So my choice for the next single is Cuckoo. It does what a good Top 40 song should do. It makes me want to bounce up and down in my seat. Great for the ride home from work.
I like Trespassing, but I'm not sure how it would work on radio.
The Bruno Mars song was a disappointment. All I can say is please keep Dr. Luke away from Adam. I suppose he is effective working with people with marginal voices, but he just seems to hone away what is best about Adam.

Yay! FIANLLY home, and arrived to SNIPPETS!!
After listening, I can only say one thing....
TRESPASSING !!!!!!!!
To hell with everything else.
To hell with "retro".
I **AM** a regular Top 40 listener, and IMO a huge number of hits have retro sounds. Hell, anything Adele sings sounds like it was supposed to be recorded 50 years ago. And CeeLo Green's "Fuck You" was practically do-wop.
I looooooooove Trespassing, and think it would be a truely Adam-esque "real" into back into CHR.
Cuckoo is good too, but honestly I think it would be a perfect followup to Trespassing instead of vice versa.
As for the other snippets......were there other snippets?? ;D

Still loving Trespassing! Actually I love them all.
My guess is that they are probably choosing between Naked Love (SO catchy) and NCOE. I really like NCOE, but someone please reassure me that this is enough of CHR-sounding song to get strong support on pop stations. I can't take another single right now that kind of staddles HAC/ pop and ends up confusing some stations.

Agree with this part 100% Adam doesn't need Dr. Luke unfortunately though it appears that he will be part of Trespassing in more ways then one :-/

I know shit about popular music. I left it in the 80s and only came back because of His Voice. I didn't know Queen, Prince, Madonna. I was busy in the backyard. Not anymore. Hearing these 'snippets' and the acoustic presentations . . . I am so fucking proud that the snippets are receiving notice! And that ADAM'S SONGS are at the top of the list! I vote for Cuckoo! And Trespassing! Still trying to learn to know Naked Love. I wish OOL or Chokehold were part of 'the choice'. They would be at the top of my list. I don't want to see 'Never Close Our Eyes' as the next single. It sounds just like Bruno Mars. And, the haters will be all over it; saying Adam wants to sound like Bruno Mars! I like the song; I like the interpretation. But, to me, it isn't Adam. It's pop Bruno. If this is what Adam must do to shatter the glass; he will do it. And I will be right here. I'll support the music. It's easy to do! Tonight I will be happy that HIS FANS want HIS MUSIC. Yes, Adam for the win! Tomorrow is another day; and it may be filled with what radio and RCA has planned. Makes me kinda sad. No - sorry I said that. I guess it just makes me wonder. Why? Why is this so hard? The reasons are out there, aren't they? momtomany
