Yay, more Brits . Hi JG, I've been loitering around here since the NY, finally jumped down that #rh and joined the party. I'd been reading here and a couple of other sites but this place seemed more active. I think the only UK fan forum I came across was very quiet and not up to date then I read that the dear lady who ran it had sadly passed away, so it's nice to have found a home here. Buckle up, next week is going to be crazeeeeeeeeeeee. BRITS UNITE Love having you guys. It really feels like game changer mode with the UK. The buzz with all the reviews, magazine covers etc. is UNIVERSES from what happened with either FYE or Trespassing.

Idol picking "Stadium Rock" for the week that Adam is releasing his new music seems like a 90% chance this is his Idol week. Actually, according to Michael Slezak the theme is "Arena Anthems", which means the songs are not limited to rock. Could also be Country (e.g. Garth Brooks, etc.) or Pop (Katy Perry, Gaga). I had WTF moment with this one. Arena anthems to me is more fitting of Kelley Clarkson and Adam, and not Carrie. Carrie is everywhere with more exposure than any of the idols, because of her association with country awards. Not enamored with her in the Sound of Music, and unfortunately her quite wooden demeanor. She can belt out a song, but anthems and arenas is not what I associate with Carrie. Arenas and Anthems have an entirely different connotation to me, but who am I to judge what is the minds of the Idol producers. To me WWRY and WRTC are anthems. But of course this all my personal opinion.
Also a little disappointed. Adam would have rocked it!!!

This blog says that there were 2 complete stage sets that were alternated. But I distinctly remember either Roger or Brian or someone in the stage crew saying that there was only one stage set. Anyone else know for sure? I believe that rumor has been debunked numerous times. I also think that 'badass' might have been referring to a prior tour . . . not one involving Adam. I am sure the crew for the US Tour and the European Tour 2014-2015 operated with one massive set. Moments after a show would end the dismantling began. Moments! They were so professional it seems half the set was dismantled before we would exit the arena. I had numerous conversations with 'Andy' (he, of 'chaise longue' fame) and others . . . and they never, ever alluded to any 'second set' or pre-performance arrival and set-up. I think our ninjas would have noticed if any massive Queen semis arrived too quickly from another venue. Didn't happen. For this 2014-2015 tour, one incredible set-up was erected and deconstructed each performance day . . . KUDOS to the crew!!

Yeah I bloody hope Radio 1 aren't dicks this time cause it's been almost 5 years since the last proper solo show here. And I didn't go to it!! ETA: Actually to be fair if I was a Radio 1 DJ I wouldn't have played NCOE either la la la

Hell, it's Idol. It could end up being "songs we could get free rights to that were possibly played in someone's car on the way to an arena" night. LOL!!

All of this talk about NYE sent me to my downloads and now it's playing on my big screen rather loudly as I catch up on today's thread. I'm sooooooo excited about all that next week is going to bring - sadly RL takes up so much of my day right now that I have to do most of my Berting in the evenings #glambertproblems

Anyone else know for sure? There was only 1 set, there is only one Q They had two sets of some things, like Adam's costumes and more then 2X the amps needed.

Oh, I have stadiums on my mind because of RiR!! I am sure Adam will be on at some point. And if he was on next week, he was certainly not going to perform GT. That won't happen for a while.

Just me but is Adam on the verge of exploding. IMO his looks stand him apart from Sherrans, Mars e.t.c. Maybe his management have latched on that, and as shallow as it is haha. It's a very image conscious entertainment industry. The publicity and exposure, partic in the UK is as said worlds apart from last era. I just think the difference this time is MM. His reputation for major hits, he just worked on Taylors last album. Well be the difference is the quality. Paula said after Black and White you should be blowing up the charts, well six years later I think it is going to happen. Their is no one like him, and their well prob never well be ever.
