While we're waiting for the news about single and video... The question is for relatively new fans (or old ones, if you remember): when you first started to be interested in Adam, did it occurre to you that he looks like a lot of people? For me, when I got home after the concert and started googling him, my impression was that he is like a blend of Ewan McGregor, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brendan Fraser, Will Smith, Azis and... my stepfather :D Now it's all okay, I don't see that ressemblance anymore because of amount of just Adam's face daily in my life) But was it similar with you , guys, or it's just me?)) ETA: and of course a liiiiiittle bit of Elvis) Long-time fan here. No, I didn't think he looked like anyone until others started noting the Elvis thing. I wasn't paying that much attention to his looks because I was so busy listening to the voice.

ETA: and of course a liiiiiittle bit of Elvis) interesting..I don't see any features of the actors you mentioned , but Elvis resemblance was obvious right way... I have to mention that I also don't see any resemblance between Adam and Leila, and I know many do...so, there is that...I do see lots of Eber in Adam though!

ETA: and of course a liiiiiittle bit of Elvis) Old fan here....... i thought I was the only person who thought he looked like Ewan McGregor - not conscious of having seen that put forward before. So definitely a yes to Ewan. And also yes to Leonardo.....not always but a couple of pics have immediately brought him to mind. Adam once said that he'd like Leo to play him in a film (and that he had a major crush on him in Romeo and Juliet). i think he looks much more like his dad than his mum. If he reverted to his natural colouring it would be more obvious. Not sure about Brendan Fraser, Azis or your stepfather!! Don't know any of them.....

Like Holst, I was so enraptured by the voice I didn't really pay attention to Adam's looks on Idol. Can you believe I never even noticed the shirt lift on Ring Of Fire? When I did notice the "look" of different presentations, it was from a staging or presentation perspective: from the beginning his years of experience in theater was apparent in his choice of costuming, staging, lighting. and styling. The one time I thought he resembled another was in Tracks of My Tears, where I thought he looked like Kurt Russell.

I have never thought he 'looked' like any of the frequently mentioned men but there have been times when he reminds me of someone or someone reminds me of him. In fact just last night while watching this: youtu.be/yCfkqQ5O9mcSo many mentioned have an overall styling look that is very similar. I think more than anything it is the execution of a shared/liked aesthetic.

Anyone - on the basis that Stay With Me was a massive hit, why would TISI not have the same impact? Many artists release hit ballads, Adele is an example.
What does everyone think?

iHeart Music Festival is Sept. 18 and 19... Rock in Rio QAL - Sept. 18 ETA: knowing he was invited makes me feel happy after all having to make that choice is AWESOME!!!! can you imagine how he must've felt thinking: "do I participate in iHeart festival or do I make history with Q and headline RiR?" LOL! I do not think this is correct. Q+AL committed to RIR before the iHR 2015 lineup was put together and released -- even internally. RIR was announced in February 2015 but the deal was put together in 2014. >> I do think that IF Adam was not in South America, he would have been at iHR Music Festival this year. Headlining RIR for the 30th anniversary of Queen kicking it off is a much more important place for him to be from a PR standpoint.
