I have a little story about what I learned this weekend, while missing Adam's hot ass selfie........
I learned that just like Adam stole all Cook's moneys in Era 2, Nate Ruess will be stealing all of Adam's promos in Era 3.
I spent the weekend with a friend who is a huge Nate stan.
We saw fun. play an outdoor venue in Vancouver sometime in the summer of 2013. She proclaimed Nate to be the best singer and frontman she had ever seen live. She was totally smitten. During his call and response, she was blown away because "he went for unreachable notes and barely missed any"
She fully expected me to jump on board the Nate train with her and was disappointed when I said I had enjoyed the show , but found his stage persona a bit too '
constipated(facial straining)
monkey'(constant jumping) for my taste.
For the record, she finds Adam too polished in his looks and vocals. Nate is more authentic.
If chinos and t-shirts pulled out of the laundry bin and attempted notes that threaten to burst blood vessels = authentic, then have at 'er, I say!
She also thought Nate with Queen at IHeart overshadowed Adam.
So this weekend she informed me the push to make Nate a solo pop star was finally upon us. She played me his new single and said his new album was due out this summer.
After listening to the single I asked if it was an early promo single because I couldn't remember a hook or shred of the melody seconds after hearing it.
What I didn't tell her was that I thought it as dull as dish water...... especially from someone who is a sought after songwriter.
When I told her Adam also had a single dropping soon and a summer album release, she insisted he would be taking a back seat, because Nate would be getting all the best male pop solo promo spots and appearances.
Today I see that he already has a performance spot at the IHeartRadio awards at the end of March.........
I'm looking forward to a very interesting spring/summer ......... where there is room for all.
Let the games begin.
