Yup, Adam likes to swear quite rock star appropriately and probably has even less of a filter when the mic is turned off....I think that is all fine in English.
I can though somehow relate to the Finnish friends here, who hearing back their own words spoken by a foreigner react somehow differently.
I remember how Gaga in Paris started hanging half of her BTW campaign up on using the German word "Scheisse". Obviously she said it with an American accent, plonked it out there without tying it into a typical German phrasing and quite frankly it just sounded ugly.
I am not a Gaga fan and am not emotionally invested in how she comes across or anything she says or does for that matter. But this was just somebody with no grasp of German isolating this one very strong (and ugly) German word and throwing it around.
It's kind of like the difference between you yourself calling your own kitchen wallpaper ugly, which is fine and laughable and some stranger coming into your kitchen and calling your wallpaper ugly. Totally different thing. So, language wise, I can understand the Finnish sentiment and I sympathize that your ears got offended.
At the same time, I don't think it will matter with regards to Adam or how he is seen, he probably will get it played back at him somewhere next time he is in Finland and he will get a rather stunned audience reaction and he will take that in at that time for what it's worth.
Yup, sometimes Adam gives more answers than necessary.

Wanted to comment on a discussed that happened two days ago, when I was not here re: May 22nd, because this is something that had not been mentioned. On that day, not only Kris will release (assuming nothing changes), but also Haley Reinhart and in my estimate she will beat him fair and square with her album. So the week is going to look on USAToday (Brain Mansfield) and similar idol charts: Adam (week 2), Carrie (week 4) (hopefully, could also be Carrie first and Adam second). Then in third place Haley (week 1) and Kris (week 1). And that last fact will hurt Kris. Nobody in their right mind will compare him to Adam anymore anyhow, but getting beaten by Haley may generate the wrong news for him.
To answer Sugaree's question: For somebody like Adam who has a chance to top the overall US album chart for a week, assuming he does not run against a too strong contender, date strategy matters. For people in the back of the field with no chance of creating a blip on i-tunes or the charts, I don't think it matters, normally.
Within the localized idol bubble, there could still be a thing or two to look out for and they are with this date not stacked in Kris' favor. For Adam I don't think that either of the other idol releases matters at all, he is competing in the big leagues and not the idol minors.

When I do get to listen to it I don't hear Adam, so just wondered if I'm missing it EVERYDAY or need to bug the station a bit more 
. I don't see Adam purposely trying to offend or denigrate by cursing and for me, at least, that makes all the difference.
