Phew, I can't believe what a dispute I unintentionally provoked. I don't consider Adams judging in AI for the greatest thing but it doesn't mean it wouldnt be good. That's just my subjective POV. I know from experience that in our country judging musicians are taken for know-it-alls and usually there are people who once upon a time were famous but their career is ruined so they need at least to earn some money. Or moreover f.e. in one competition there is an 'artist' who started his career in porn which means that some of them are ordinary famewhores .... Maybe that's why I'm so prejudiced against it. That's not about how often I want to see Adam on the screen, its just the question of TV format. On the other hand who I am to command Adam what to do. I'm just expressing my opinion. ame, you didn't provoke anything. The pro/con conversation for the past 40 45 pages had nothing to do with your comment specifically, so DON'T WORRY!!!!

Just an FYI, I am an Idol Loon from way back! I adore the show! When Jennifer Lopez was in the running, no one wanted her as a judge. So I'm not sure the polls carry much weight, but I want to see him win them, anyway!

I can understand those who really want Adam to distance himself from Idol...he's tried that. But, do you understand he's literally dying over here in the US? That's pretty depressing to those of us who spent months voting our fingers to the bone while he was on Idol and have requested like crazy to get him on the radio. The concert dates he has scheduled later this summer in the US are not selling anywhere near what he sold a few years ago. He's gotta do something over here in the US to make an impact cause so far, nothing else has worked. I for one don't want to see him have to abandon his own country for the overseas market. But unless his label literally paid off radio to play him, there doesn't seem to be a lot of options for him here. ETA: I see Nigel Lythgoe is gonna be on TV. He may completely debunk this rumor, who knows? In re the bolded: Beyond what the fans have done -- which, IMO, has been considerable -- consider how much time, effort and talent Adam himself has put into Trespassing and gotten nowhere with radio. He put out two singles picked by the label specifically to get radio play, the latter of which seems to have been chosen by radio pds. He went on radio station tours and appeared at radio station concerts, not only singing, but putting up with all sorts of idiots. He created an album that went to #1 AND got nearly universal critical acclaim. And the result? No radio play. He's worked and delivered and gotten nothing to show for it. TBH, while I don't much care for NCOE, I know that when other people hear it, they do like it. My niece and her friends all LOVE that song, for example. I've played it in planning sessions for some events I do and teens and YA LOVE it. The problem is that they don't hear it because radio does not play it. Why? None of us know, but I'm assuming RCA/DMG does know why radio has shut him out. So if RCA/DMG advises Adam to go for AI, I'm going to assume that they realize that they need to find a way to get out of the damn straitjacket radio has currently put on his career. AI, to me, is just part of a plan that should include soundtracks on tv shows, guest appearances on tv shows, vocal collaborations with artists radio will have a harder time denying, etc. He may not get huge CHR or HAC single sales, but his music will get heard and he'll make more money from touring anyway.

the comments are (as usually by "Queen" fans) are disgusting... hope he does not read this crap - entitled idiots. I don't usually read the comments, but I thought, "How bad can they be?" Holey Moley! Who needs fans like that? I think I'll order another Queen DVD.

Adam is competing with the tops in the music business right now & he's the new kid on the block.
For being the new kid on the block Adam is doing incredibly well.
Katy ,Kelly,Carrie ,RiRi have all been at it longer than Adam.. Adam Levine and Maroon5 out there longer..I mean Adam may be the best singer,but they have more time out in the field and they have built a huge fan base.JB is an entirely different story. IMHO Adam will have a great career ,with ups and downs,like everyone else in show business.. there isn't a single line to the top in the music industry.
