Now the The Voice is available online (may have been for a while, I just noticed it), I have watched a few of the current episodes. Thoughts: 1. I know, I know, Adam is twined with American Idol, but it seems to me (my opinion only) that there is more judge/mentor interaction on The Voice. Would love to see Adam in that position (more time) because I find his feedback cogent and pertinent and would love to see more of it, extended versions. I think it gives me a little window into his process and thoughts on performing and using that glorious instrument. Plus, Adam speaking words. 2. And he would be interacting with Christina and it might increase the odds of a duet with her, either live or on an album. Personally would love to hear them duet on Beautiful. YMMV. or on this one: 3. The Voice episode I just watched had Nat Ruess as a guest mentor, and he sounded great when he was demonstrating for the contestants suggestions for their performance. Plus the boy won my heart with his recognition of the incredible voice of one Mr. Adam Lambert at ~6:08 here: 4. However, it would probably cause a worlds collide situation if Adam LAMBERT was on the same show as Adam LEVINE. But in my secret heart, it would result in the person who claimed not to know who Adam LAMBERT was recognizing publicly the awesomeness of Adam LAMBERT's voice. Sorry for shouting Adam's last name, but apparently there is some problem sorting out the two Adams. (Yes, apparently I have a l-o-o-o-og memory ) 5. And of course, Pharrell is already well aware of our boy. But forging more contact and contacts can't be a bad thing in the entertainment world, I would think. Especially for Adam, who in my hearts of hearts, I am convinced, causes everyone who comes in contact with him to be instantly and forever smitten. Certainly that is my personal experience, as here I am so many years later, still gobsmacked by his brilliance! 6. Would also love, love, love to hear Adam's cover of this song. To my memory, it has not been covered by a male singer who has done it justice.

Maxwell got a ton of great questions to ask Adam but I love this one: @robyng_24: Out of all the songs on your two previous albums which song would fit on The Original High?? Heh. That's thought-provoking! I wonder if Adam would answer it outright or beat around the bush about how it's all new and different? And he's certainly grown and changed in three years. Let's all hope the answer isn't BTIKM! (Or my personal least-favorite, A Loaded Smile! Here is a perfect example of how we are all so different-and how impossible it must be to write a song that everyone loves. Loaded Smile has always been, and still is, one of my favorites from Adam. I know he didn't write that one but I love the mystery of it and what he does with his voice throughout the song. I saw a video of him performing it,{I think it was from Canada} and watched it more times than I can count. I was hoping he would perform it when I went to several of his GNT concerts but he never did. I sure hope Ghost Town turns out to be that song that appeals to the masses!

That video was one of three created with 3 different people...... none of which were Jake aka 'Fancy'. It was all part of the charade, which I hadn't realized, until reading this article was meant to have lasted even longer. It seems people were fed up with the whole 'Who Is Fancy?' schtick, so they pulled off the reveal on Fallon. The whole thing was greeted with a collective yawn from what I've seen. The song 'Goodbye' isn't even in the top 200 on iTunes in Canada. I really liked the song, but I think the singer is going to have an uphill battle regarding his image, which is an unfortunate reality in pop music. This no doubt was the inspiration behind the "Who is Fancy?" campaign. why do ye think that ? sam smith dinna appear to have a prob with his image . and jist my PO this guy looks way more fun than SS i liked him ,, ss borin

Has this already been discussed? according to wikipedia, Scarlett Johansson is scheduled to host SNL on May 2. There is no musical guest listed at this point. Next week, April 18, is a repeat of James Franco/Nicki Minaj - they showed a promo last night - and my guess is the following week is a repeat too, since the next episode listed is May 2. That would be excellent timing for Ghost Town, right?? Come on universe!

You and I might not care or even find this styling appealing, we are talking about mass appeal. I really, really hate to say this, but he probably isn't 'fit' enough for the masses. I could careless personally about such things. It is an element in the entertainment industry. All this said, I'd give more than a passing glance at his album.

Mine are Fantasy Springs I and London 2012 Mine is not going to the last two GNTs in LA. i met a lovely Italian woman while queuing for hours for the Shepherds Bush, London, show and afterwards she asked if I would go with her to the LA shows ten days later. Well how ridiculous!..no one travels that far for a concert. She was clearly crazy......(oh, how I've changed).... LOLOL... SophieB! I was fortunate to have attended those last 2 GNTs with Q3.....so glad I did! Q3 even drove from Miss to Ala with ice on the highways to fly out of Bham with me...... I regret missing Fantasy Springs 1. I didn't know anybody in the fandom then and flying from here to Indio by myself was just too much logistically for me. DH said No to that one. He was skeerd for my safety. Now, years later, and many more trips under my belt....he just misses me being gone from home. I would have liked to have been at RMT too.

A Loaded Smile.... again not liked... I loved the lyrics but I understand the production in imho sucked. Would love a rework of this song as it is one of my favs. Anyone who has initiated a breakup can relate to it. sigh A loaded smile An empty glass And one last dance I love A Loaded Smile!! That chill trip-hop vibe and dirty chords. Since I was the one who first mentioned (hating) ALS today, I guess I should explain that it reminds me of an old song by 10cc called "I'm Not in Love" or something like that that I absolutely hated at the time - trippy-dippy vibe and the wah-wah guitar... Might have been something to do with my life at the time, lol! But variety makes the world interesting! So for those of you who love it, maybe you're the lucky ones!
