let me help you.... how about... SHADY?? KICKIN IN?? OR UNDERNEATH??... NAKED LOVE??? Okay.. CHOKEHOLD ;D I NEEEED A FIIIIIX! Now I can understand when Adam says he can't pick a favorite, because they really are so great each in their own way. However, if I was told I could only have one song out of the whole album on my iPod, I would have to go with Shady. Not only cause it's such a great song but because it's just so Adam - he's been using that word "shady" for awhile and the song is not only funky but funny. And KickinIn may be the Prince homage but I heard Let's Go Crazy in the car today and that song has the exact same two pants that Adam does in Shady! |

I think it's an old People. When I say People mag is a good "get" I am not talking about the stupid Idol articles that pop up, maybe, once a year. I am hoping for an actual article (cover if I'm dreaming). Kelly Clarkson got a very nice 2-page article last fall. It's not a regular issue of People, it's a specially produced soft cover book on American Idol that is published by People. I saw it in a CVS yesterday; it covers all 10 seasons and has updates on what each of the Top Ten from each season are doing now. I immediately turned to Season 8 and skimmed past Matt and Anoop and Danny to see what they said about Adam and he wasn't there! There was a full page picture of Kris where they talked about the finale and how Kris said "Adam deserved this" when he won. I thought it was very weird that he wouldn't at least have a picture, so I flipped to the front and they had The Top Five Most Successful Idols and there was a two page spread on him, right after Kelly and Carrie and Daughtry. So apparently now he doesn't have to even hang out the same pages as the rest of Season 8 - he gets to play upfront with the big dogs! I just realized that a better stan would have purchased the book, clipped out the article, scanned the pages and translated the copy into Norwegian so everyone could see it. I'm sorry! I'm not worthy! (plus I was carrying a gallon of milk and five pounds of cat food, so my hands were full) Thank you for letting me know this, because I did the same thing as you--picked up the mag in the check-out line, quickly turned to the Season 8 section, and became indignant when I couldn't find Adam. But it was my turn to check out before I could investigate further. I'm glad to know that they not only didn't ignore him, but actually put him in a special "extry successful" category! |

makes a hella lot of sense to me, Craazyforadam. I do believe that the label knows they have a treasure and he's being treated very differently. Ohhh.. RCA knows they have a treasure in Adam and I think Sony World Wide knows too. I remembered Barry Weiss saying in one of Adam's TV interview, not sure if it's 20/20 or E! THR, saying the challenge for the label with Adam is how they are going to package his TALENT. |

Just coming on briefly to thank you all so much for the fun birthday wishes! You made my day! You are the best! Now off to dinner to celebrate with my husband. Birthdays are a great excuse for an extravagant dinner, lol. See you all later.
Have I mentioned I love the snippets? ;D
I was excited to hear the back up singer talking about BE! I hope Adam sings it at Jimmy Kimmel!

Everyone has a right to their opinion and so do I.Thank goodness for scroll.I have a great deal of trouble with some Adam fans who see gloom around every corner. A new album that is fantastic in every way,New appearances Four gigs with Queen .. The beginning of a roll out for Trespassing. Oh and BTW Adam is going to sing songs from this album for the next two or three years.So for the pessimists among you, after three days of NCYE out and many snippets to hear,there is time for Trespassing to go global and be a hit.. like a couple of years. Breathe ..take a valium or a walk around the block, but please stop the march to doom and gloom over every little thing. To paraphrase: Adam has often said don't live my life live your own lives. You can hate me for saying this you can block me,you can write me off,but I just have to get this off my chest. Our job as fans is to supportAdam,buy his music and go to concerts. It's not to manage his career,his love life or pick his new piano player. So I'm off to do all of the above,breathe,take a valium and a walk. Just saying. Yay for you!! I just stopped by for few minutes because Twitter is laughing at the gloom and doom that resides here now days. Adam's life is in such a good place, why oh why do ppl search and search till they can find something to worry or complain about. Okay, see you in another few weeks if I'm feeling strong enough to withstand the doomsday scenarios. You forgot that we are going to flail over his Jimmy Kimmel mini concert... so I will say .. see you next week.. ;D ;D |

Since not much is going on, anyone want to play a guessing game? What do you think Adam's album will sell Week 1 in the US based on all you know so far? I realize we don't know yet how extensive the promo will be or how hard NCOE is being pushed to radio prior to the release date, but I'm bored. What do you think? Would anything around 100,000 be good? I'm hoping he cracks that.

I love Shady ... I have wanted a funky song from Adam since I don't know when but thought really, who does funk anymore, it is just me being nostalgic for my favorite music. But OMG Adam delivered. I adore Shady and the bass guitar is unfuckingbelievable plus Sam Sparro's bridge; I am in soul heaven.
Every thing from there on is just gravy but such tasty gravy ... more like becamel sauce with extra butter. Right now Kickin In has grabbed me; it is just so smart. I am not sure how else to describe it. The melody progression and odds and ends musical bits (like the cowbells) and I don't have the vocabulary for the other electronic stuff plus the overlay of "can you feel it kickin in" with just "kickin in". It is so good. "What is he tryin to do to me?"

I'll play!  80K-100K, depending on if he Adam gets the May 17th spot on Idol and depending on what type of promo we see in the three weeks leading up to the album release. |
