Yup! I'm not so worried about the time thing- I mean, David Cook churned out a record super quick and it's extremely solid and a wonderful listen imo :)


The first Daughtry CD came out quickly as well, and it's sold over 5 million copies worldwide. Go figure!

AMAZINGLY freaking adorable interview <33 Not that his interviews aren't always adorable :P

Seriously though, I love him. He's so bubbly and sweet, even when the interview asks kind of annoying questions. This particular interviewer is clearly a Kris fan first and foremost. Which was pretty much okay with me as I adore Kris also, so I enjoy hearing Adam talk about. But at the same time a few of those questions were not so cool. But he still always handles himself so well!


I can't wait for his SINGLE to come out so we actually have some music to talk about!! haha. and Time For Miracles too!

"I want flames out of my f*cking head!" "It'll be subtle" lol

I love him. He can't be any more fabulous.

^I was JUST going to post that! teehee

He is WAY too ridiculously adorable omg. The "it's subtle!" part had me LOLing out loud.

Adam, my dear, I hate to have to tell you, but in NO situation ever will flames coming out of a long white headdress be "subtle" :P But I appreciate your adorableness in thinking that way! <3


*sigh* I love him to death. I want him to be my BFF. Like now. And also, Crawl Thru Fire is vocal insanity. It's not even necessarily the type of song I'd generally go for, but his voice is just so amazing that it astounds me and I love it!




Also, pretty sure this was the look they were discussing:


Personally I think it's brilliant :P But, I guess I can also see how it might have been tooooo over the top when paired with the already brilliantly over the top song haha

I can't believe anyone EVER thought he was straight...

"I can't believe anyone EVER thought he was straight..."

Right?! LOL

Nooo don't you guys know that dressing up like an "albino deity" and running around wearing a white breaded head dress with flames coming out of it is TOTALLY something every straight guy dreams of doing!?!?

:P


No seriously though, I think what happened with Adam was a case of people being both too concerned about being "politically correct". It's like some people don't seem to realize that a gay person being out doesn't mean they go around saying "hi, I'm *insert name* and I'm gay!". It's not about announcing it to the world at all times. It's just about living your life the way you feel happiest living it, doing the things that make you happiest, being the person you are happy being, and not hiding it or apologizing for it. And in doing that it's kind of expected that people will assume your sexuality.


And THEN, even after the kissing pictures came out (which was right after his semifinals performance), he said "I am who I am and have nothing to hide" And people STILL needed an "official confirmation" before they were willing to believe he's gay. Hello, THAT IS AN OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION. haha. It was pictures of him kissing his ex boyfriend and he said "yeah, those are me and I have nothing to hide". What exactly do you think boys kissing boys means!? lol


So it's that people get too scared to assume anything these days, so they go to the other extreme and refuse to accept it when someone IS openly gay but just doesn't go around announcing it in so many words. Well, that and some people just cleeearly have ZERO gaydar at all. lol

I think he needs to tone it down a tad.

Go for the subtle sexy...

I love that photo shoot.

Did anyone ever think he was straight? Seriously?

I love that Zodiac footage, it cracks me up. Subtle Adam, subtle.

Look who was out at the Pink concert in LA last niiight









They both look so happyyy! And I'm *pretty* darn sure they were wearing the same pants, which just makes them even more painfully cute

Apparently though once people realized they were there last night they got pretty mobbed Honestly people, he was out at a concert with his boyfriend, enjoying probably the first relative down time he's had in a LONG time. NOT the time to be asking for pictures, and then tweeting about how he's so rude because he said "I'm off the clock", which he WAS and had every right to say!



And for the record, I promise this thread can be mainly about music once there's actually music to be talking about hehe. But meanwhile, while we're still waiting for the music, might as appreciate the Adam and Drake adorableness!

Adam's pre-order went up on Amazon Japan yesterday and the hourly rankings went like this...

2,751?920?1,047?363?163?124?71?53?41?36?35

With no single and no promotion. Way to go Adam! The UK Amazon preorder is climbing as well.

[snl89]

Posted: 9/27/09 at 11:34am

^I know, it's craaazy!! I mean, this is JAPAN we're talking about and he's already getting these kinds of pre-orders!


So far the rankings for pre-orders are:

AMAZON JAPAN: 26

AMAZON UK: 282

AMAZON GERMANY: 702


And that's with ZERO promotion, in other countries!


Oh and also, Time For Miracles (the 2012 song) is going to be featured in the HUGE ARSE promotion thing that's going on Oct 1!! There's going to be a big 2012 preview on every major TV network I believe, and that's when Time For Miracles shall be making its debuuuut


Also, tomorrow or Tuesday. Be ready Adam's first single!! There has been lots of buzz that it will be early this week, so..

[EVIE]

Posted: 9/27/09 at 2:56pm

omg first single finally?! how exciting!!

[snl89]

Posted: 9/27/09 at 6:01pm

So his album finally got it's butt on Amazon US for pre-order, and WHAT NOW, it's at #4!!!




*SQUEEE*


And mind you it's only been on since like.. maybe noon-ish today, so it might climb even higher!

#2 now! Without even a single. So amazing!

I need the Time for Miracles song in my life right now!

[StockardFan]

Posted: 9/28/09 at 1:07pm

Is that the title of the first single?

[snl89]

Posted: 9/28/09 at 1:30pm

^nah, Time For Miracles is the song from 2012 :) Not the single from his album, but still SUPER exciting!


We don't know for sure what the first single for the album will be. We've heard lots about a song called "Strut", but apparently they were still choosing between Strut and two other songs. Rumor was that they were supposed to be making the final decision today I think, actually!

Maaaybe we'll get a leak of something either today or tomorrow

But it's a pretty good chance that if nothing else we'll be getting a snippet of Time for Miracles by Thursday this week. They're doing a whoooole ginormous promo thing for 2012 on all the major network channels, and word is that Time For Miracles will be in there!

As for the album single, I don't know how sure anything is right now. But I mean.. his album DID just go on pre-sale, and early October makes logical sense for a single release date, so it wouldn't surprise me if we DID get a leak or something at some point this week


eeeep, so exciting!!

If the CD goes on sale the end of November, I would also think a single would be released to radio next week or the week after.

Wow, those boys make a stunning couple.

10 days away on vacation and suddenly he has facial hair!!



haha, it took me aback at first because he looks so different, but.. I think I like it At least for a little while. It's smexy. He looks like a cross between Johnny Depp and Lea DiCaprio :P



aaand consequently Drake has grown more facial hair too




just, you know, had to add that in because I find it too cute that they decided to do the facial hair thing at the same time




ANYWAY. We need some muuuusiccc. Come ON RCA, release the friggin single already!! Pretty please? <3

At this point, I'll be glued to my tv between 10:45 - 11:00 pm Thursday night just hoping for 2 bars of Time for Miracles.

And next week hopefully the album single. Two songs at once!

Not sure I prefer the Pirate Adam look, but any Adam is gorgeous!

A friend of mine just e-mailed me an article that says Adam's album preorders are #2 on Amazon right behind Barbra Streisand's new album.

[snl89]

Posted: 9/29/09 at 2:43pm

^Yup, he's at #2! And he's STAYED there for like 2 days already, which I think is the most impressive aspect of it.

Last year David Cook got to #2 as well when his album was first put up for pre-order, but he only stayed there for a few hours before dropping a bit. And his was put up right after Idol ended, so all the Idol buzz was still going around. By the time the summer was over, he'd dropped back down to maybe the 80s or so.

So I am AMAZED by the fact that Adam's album was put up for pre-sale at a really random, obscure time, with ZERO promotion from RCA, no single, no album cover, no nothing, and it made it to #2 through sheer word of mouth. And it's held strong at #2 for days, and there are tons of articles about it, so that's only bound to make the word of mouth spread even more. And if any real promotion from RCA DOES start happening, he's bound to get to #1!


Now granted Amazon sales are a *teensy* portion of the over all sales an album would do, so it's not like it's the greatest indicator, but still. It's pretty darn impressive.


I just can't get over the kind of media machine he in himself is. Word of mouth caused him to get to #2, now the press is writing about it, which will only help the word of mouth, which will in turn continue to prompt the media to write about it, which will in turn continue to drive sales. This with absolutely ZERO promotion!!


I think that if the music is amazing as the media buzz is making it out to be, Adam is going to BURN UP every chart in sight Just out of sheer power to spark media, he has the potential to actually be a phenomenon

I'm a little nervous because of the title of the song.
It sounds so Whitney-Houston-I can-climb-mountains-and-find-my rainbow kind of song. Please. Please. PLEASE don't put out a song like that, Adam!!!
