I adore this interview. As this radio tour wore on he became more and more comfortable and playful. I wish more non fans could see this side of Adam. When you couple his amazing personality with his incredible talent there is no resisting him!
Oh and his hotness too!

IKR, and it's funny how the interviewer stopped at 6 minutes (part 1) but Adam gave fans another 10 minutes of his time answering more questions.  |

you think if i requested nicely Sauli would grow his hair to cover his head rather than make it a small model of the north pole and finland ;D Too funny!!!! I do love Sauli's hair but I know what you mean. And, yes, I am hankerin for some hand-holding pics. Only think better than some pics of Adam are some pics of Adam glowing down on Sauli. Question for the English as a second language fans: As I was listening to Cuckoo yesterday I was noticing how many expressions Adams uses in his songs: crazy train, on the loose, get down, get a load of me, and on and on. It must be very difficult, even for those who speak basic English, to fully understand some of his songs. Do you feel like we do when reading translations of Sauli (wishing we could understand the nuances of his language choices)? Is this of any consideration when trying to sell a song internationally? *And of course, I must include my apologize for being an ignorant Amercian who, without means to practice, has lost all her foreign language skills learned in school. So impressed with our international members--keep posting regardless of fear of mistakes! Yes, it is sometimes very difficult to understand, though you know all the words. I.e. " get a load of me". Does it mean what I think ??? :    . |

So impressed with our international members--keep posting regardless of fear of mistakes! I can only speak for myself, but yes, sometimes understanding the lyrics of a song can be really difficult - especially if you only hear them and don't have the possibility to see them written down. First of all, the song moves on usually pretty quickly, and even though some lyrics might be repeated for example in a chorus, you hardly have time to process what you just heard when there are new words coming on. Of course it's the same when you are talking with another person, but in those situations you have the chance to ask him or her to repeat and maybe even explain what they said. When you are listening to a song, it's not possible - it just moves on. Another thing is that in the songs words are often shortened, pronounced differently from the conventional way, or otherwise changed. And to me it seems that often in songs there are expressions which are not used in everyday life... I don't know if this is true or if it's just my imagination, but that's the impression I've been getting during the years when I've been listening to songs with lyrics in English. That adds another challenge when you try to understand what exactly the singer is singing and trying to say. And of course, in many cases the singers sing the words very unclearly, mashed up or garbled, so it's really difficult to understand what they are singing, especially if you're not a native speaker of the language. Adam is a wonderful exception here of the other end - his articulation is very clear! I have to admit that even though I've been a fan of Queen for years and I love TSMGO and I have heard it hundreds of times, until I heard Adam sing it in the EMAs, I thought that the lyrics about the soul being painted continued "like the wings up on the sky"... :-[  Maybe I should wash my ears more often... : Speaking for myself - understanding the lyrics completely is not important and I don't think it's important when thinking about selling it internationally. You FEEL the song, you enjoy it, you love it, it takes you along for a short trip, the beat makes you move, you sing along and might have no clear idea what the lyrics actually are about LOL. Of course you learn the lyrics and might think about the message at some point too :D. A kind of I don't really listen to the English lyrics always, like I listen to the Finnish ones - those I understand without having to think about them at all. |

A kind of I don't really listen to the English lyrics always, like I listen to the Finnish ones - those I understand without having to think about them at all. EXACTLY! :D I don't usually have problem with lyrics. Actually I don't even think about it that much and don't really care if I don't understand every single word... like "obnoxious"... Or all the possible meanings behind certain sayings like "the crazy train." To me (when listening songs from other language than finnish) it's more about the feeling of the song, the moods and vibes and colors or something like that! ;D Naked Love makes me happy, Trespassing makes me want to dance and Cuckoo makes me feel strong... Do you know what I mean? So... I don't believe it should be an issue! |

From twitter - >:(
Energy 103.7, San Diego just confirmed there is no video of Adam's performance last Friday. TRULY A SHAME, because his MIC-LESS vocals were impeccable - so strong and powerful (the acoustics in the theatre were incredible). His body played the drums, hands and feet stomping the beats. Such awesomeness I wish you all could have seen. :-(

Ha, ha! Bo, bo I don't know what you think "get a load of me" means, but I am imagining!  What it actually means is just "wait until you see me because you ain't seen nothing like me yet!" Miachihu, I guess international fans will be thinking 'thingses" is now a correct plural!!  |
