I haven't read the whole thread yet, but I wonder why people keep quoting the pop charts? It's the overall chart that counts, what shows up first when you click onto the itunes movie store. I'm getting a sunk feeling reading here about all y'all buying multiple copies. Does that mean Adam only has a small amount of fans who buy tons of copies? You know, maybe others have reached this place before me, or perhaps never will, but I'm supporting him as I can. I've got to let him out in the big wide world to garner more fans. We have done a marvelous job with pre-sale and other things in our control. This CD buying is great, but it's not free like it was voting for him an enormous number of times on AI. I'm kind of with Bridgey here (hope you got back to sleep)--Im going to take time to revel in his accomplishments and not stress about not buying enough. We are super fans. We do what we can. We even as Super Fans can't do it all anymore. Adam produced a great album to great critical acclaim. Whether Adam achieves international superstardom is not up to me. Yes, I gifted a few CD's and downloads, but Adam is really marketing himself to new fans right now, as it should be. He trusts his management team and RCA is behind him and believes in him. An artist cannot ask for more. I can't make Adam's every wish come true (he has Sauli for that!!! Yay). That said, I'm not telling anyone how to be Adam's fan, I'm just stating my point of view.

BUT the sound had better not be f'ed up for Wilkes Barre!!! Depends on where you sit, if you recall. Kirby is beautiful but some people had great sound for GNT show 1. And some people did not. I was a did not. But still was ecstatic. If Adam really does 45 minutes, probably everyone will be ecstatic no matter what.

About the back up singers. I saw them twice, live. NNN and Kimmel. Both times were with Octavia. They sounded amazing! Did not realize, at the time, that Brian sings as much as he does. IMO, it will take time to get used to back up singers. Adam backs himself up on his albums, and his last tour had backing tracks. No one will sound like Adam does or as good as Adam does backing himself. What I love about having singers is that it gives Adam way more freedom to improvise. I will say, I have never heard them too loud or drowning out Adam like some people have said. Don't know why unless it has something to do with our sound systems. :-/ I know Adam is a perfectionist. If he thinks there is something wrong, he will change it. We have seen him do it several times this era already. I have faith in his intuition and professionalism. Basically everyone here is far more sophisticated then me when dissecting a performance. Bagpipes could be playing in the background and I will always zoom in on Adam. Live is so totally different than taped or live stream for sure. The other thought I had though, is Adam's father listens to all elements on each performance too, he tweets to the other musicians feedback after their performances sometimes does he not? Anyway, Adam has soooo many close friends/colleagues and family members who also care about his success, I think they would be truthful with him if these singers are not the right fit. Just my opinion (Which is worth....$0) ;D

These radio concerts are such good exposures for Adam and his new music, most of peeps go there to experience their favorite artists live, sad to say, not necessarily for the sound but their presence. But, as a perfectionist, I'm sure it was pissing Adam off, which was why he paid more than RiRi for the same sound tech while on tour.
ETA: I've moved my post regarding Mayer's bump to the number thread.

I am trying to decide if I should spurge on a ticket upgrade or not.
