I don't think I will be able to watch Idol again after getting my hopes up about Adam as a judge. Not that it will make any difference to their ratings.

On the bright side, he did get good publicity out of this and the press seemed gung ho about it as a possibility. It is kind of annoying that there was online voting at People, BB etc and most of the people on the voting list were not in final cut. Adam, of course won the those polls easily. Sound and fury signifying nothing!
I just noticed that I am just about the only person posting here. I like it here because I can complain and whine to my hearts content, but this is embarrassing so will shut up for a while.

It is so scary,now we are certain that September is not being saved for Idol, that it looks like he has nothing lined up to promote the new single. My fear is that the label in not going to support the single. This seems to be a business where success breeds success, and lack of it breeds more of the same. It cost serious money to support a single and really RCA has no reason to believe that radio will get on board this time. My fear is that his calendar is empty because he is having trouble lining up good promo with two singles that went nowhere and an album with low sales. How are we certain? I'm not sayin he has the gig I'm not sayin he doesn't. But how are we certain? From an article? IMO MC and NM on the same table? Nicki is so young and hip and everywhere right now I don't see how MC is going to allow that. NO WAY. And if they're launching a third single and a MV - at least Adam said there WILL be more videos to come - why would RCA spend more money on a video? In this interview from today he giggles and he says after Australia he's going home where "he has various different things in the works (giggle) "working on a lot different things (giggle) and "the big plan is to launch the third single which hasn't been officialy announced yet" His tone on "officialy" is different. What " different various things if the big plan is to launch the single?If the big plan is to launch the single , these "various different things " have to be connected. If not Idol, then something really good. The fact that WE don't know it yet, is not important at the moment. I'm going to stay optimistic. He's not announcing the single yet because Idol announcement has been delayed and IMO the single announcement must come AFTER the idol gig. These are my thoughts anyway. Here's the interview . soundcloud.com/glitterstorage/al-bayfm-18-aug-2012

I hate to be repetitious,because this has been mentioned before.. but here goes. If Adam is going to bring his new single out and he's near singapore and Manila and New Zealand soon, why not do appearances there .. They love him .. I'm kerfluxed and wonder if Adam still has His management co. working diligently for him.
Everything seems so disorganized with Trespassing from day 1.. I just don't understand and I feel Adam is getting lost in the shuffle.
I've taken to the Aquarian horoscope for August and September, kind of like reading tea leaves.I don't even read my own horoscope just Adams..looking for clarity somewhere,anywhere. LOL

We can't do it on the main threads so where but here? Like gelly I do think he has some things going on in that empty dark place of Sept/Oct, but who knows what? I also agree with her that announcements have been delayed because of the lack of any Idol decision. I just hope he hasn't had to put everything on the back burner for..............nothing. The truth is - I hate the show. But it would be the best PR he could get right now and he definitely needs something special this time around. If it's same old, same old (as for singles 1 & 2) the results will be the same imo. Besides he has been very open about how much he would love the judge gig and THAT's why I want it so much for him.

JazzRocks, As you can see, I did not keep my resolve for long, but I have so much anxiety over the the career of this man who I adore more than I rationally should, that I have to let it out somewhere. I agree with you 100%. The same old same old promo is not going to cut it as it didn't for the first two singles. In fact, it will be harder because the low sales this era will brand him in a negative way. The wall I am hitting is that really strong, game changing promotional opportunities are almost non existent. It is all pretty much an occasional performance on TV talk (without Oprah), radio promo tour, and big multi artist radio concerts. He has been there done that already to not much avail. I blame Radio and now hate the guys in charge of the playlists and hope web based alternatives destroy their business.

Adam is so good natured that he always seems pretty happy, but you know he has to be very worried. When he asked his fans at CM to buy more albums you could see some of this worry come out. There is a strong sentiment on this board that Adam will be just fine. I agree that he will have a long and very lucrative career. Las Vegas alone can assure that. So compared to the average Joe he is in a great place. Adam however has set his sights on being a recording artist. He has the artistic drive inside him to make the pop music he loves and share it with the world. To do that, he has to sell product a lot of product.

LOL I really don't think Adam is lost in any shuffle at either RCA or DMG. On the contrary - there must be a damn good reason for him to skip other Asia Pac countries as well as NZ - HIS calendar is full - THIS I am sure of. At this point I choose to dismiss AI, but he keeps talking about "stuff" - I believe him. I do think that RCA screwed up with the first two singles (easy for me - I dislike both of them) but at this point - we are getting TP - an excellent choice! Plus - he is so very happy lately! I am not feeling "dark" at all...

Well I just watched the amazing video from SummerSonic and I am not feeling dark either right now! There is NO WAY this man will continue to be ignored in the music world. I'm usually a worrier & not one of the "he'll be fine no matter what" peeps, but after watching this I'm reminded of how very special he is.
HE WILL BE FINE & MORE THAN FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not saying I won't be back later if things start going awry. lol

The one thing that chases away my blues is seeing Adam perform live. He is so fantastic and so much better than anyone else out there that I can't imagine him not having great, great success.
