All I can say is that this album better be out by June 27 when I fly overseas for the Queen concerts, or I am taking out someones kneecaps at RCA. I need some jams on the flight!  Couldn't he say "don't give a funk" on a radio release of Cuckoo? AMEN!!! I just saw a real official schedule with a MAY date on it. I think May is real. ADAM -- the music IS perfect. Set it free!! You didn't happen to see another official doc with the name of the next single did you?? LOL |

Watched the stream of Adam in Utah.. A question, do you think most DJs take a test for being obnoxious before they are able to get radio jobs.Is it a requirement??Just saying. There are so few of them that I actually like. Seriously, I think it is because they are paid poorly and are close to the bottom of the media food-chain, for the most part. Their only real 'reward' is the notoriety and 'borrowed' fame/reflected glory they accrue from hob-nobbing with minor [usually] celebrities. They...and many newspaper reporters...are often grungy and unattractive as the more appealing ones go to television. The ones that stick around long enough to gain any kind of 'fame' for themselves tend to be older and a little bitter as they originally wanted to be the 'rock stars' they are now forced to pimp for.... hmmmmm......hope there are no dj's in adamtopia....  : Thanks Mszue Great answer.. I think you're on to something. |

I think you're on to something. I did talk radio for awhile....my co-host had been in radio a long time. "Talent" AKA radio hosts get treated like shit by pretty much the entire food chain. Might have something to do with it! |

I haven't had a chance to really catch up, but thanks to Atop, I saw the snippets this morning. I saw the polls and thought I would conduct my own totally (un)scientific study - a focus group of two college students working in my office. I talk to them a lot about books and tv shows, so I kind of know their tastes, but I wanted to see what they thought of Adam's new music. They both know of Adam (mainly from Idol, but also knew WWFM and IIHY) and they do know that he is my favorite singer. I shared BTIKM with one of them when the video came out. She said thought the video was cool but thought the song was kinda meh.
So just about an hour ago, I snagged them when they weren't that busy and asked them to rank the four snippets of Adam's new music.
The one that thought BTIKM was kinda meh, loved Cuckoo right away. I think she also thought Trespassing was fun, but she really liked the Cuckoo part of Cuckoo. The other really liked Trespassing. She liked the beat of that track. I think she was leaning towards Trespassing as her favorite, but when the end of Cuckoo came, she said "oh cool. I like that change). When I pressed her, she said she would rank Trespassing first, and Cuckoo a close second.
Neither of them really seemed to feel strongly about Naked Love nor Never Close Our Eyes. They didn't dislike it, but didn't think it sounded distinct enough compared to other songs on the radio.
I think my sample of two proves that Atop polls are right! ;D
Trespassing or Cuckoo as the next single please!
ETA: I actually haven't voted myself yet. I really like BOTH Cuckoo and Trespassing.

They're comedians first, and gotta keep people from changing the channel during morning rush hour, when they're still one cup of coffee short of awake and raging at the traffic in front of them. And they use the oldest trick in the book of making people feel better about them selves by behaving, comparatively, like idiots. THAT is what dictates their level of obnoxiousness--the market they're speaking to. Though I agree--I generally can't bear to listen. Also, if my knowledge of reporters is anything to go by, the thrill of meeting celebs, of any level of fame, wears off pretty damn quickly. ETA: deleted defense of newspaper journalists because WOAH, OT! |
