Don't know if we already have this article from yesterday. A few Adam mentions and a pic with Troye Interesting article. Troye came up through the social media avenue, YouTube. So did Bieber. I've heard Troye sing and his voice itself isn't much, but he sure does have a message to convey and it is connecting with millions. Interesting mention of the whole "pronouns" thing. Remember Adam with Fever? "There SHE goes...." and then he switched to There HE goes.." But that was on tour. He recorded the song with "She." Controversial at the time, almost ten years ago. Troye, Sam, have also faced the pronoun problem and handle it in their own way. This article really shows that gay artists are NOT all the same. Each one is an individual. Adam expressed this many times, especially in early interviews. Within a group, each person is unique. Adam didn't record Fever with "she". It was a "he" from the beginning. And I don't remember he ever sang "she". Which performance are you thinking about?

OT Re Jennifer Hudson: If this is true that this is the way it happened, they did not need to do it this way in the media. They have rotated judges out before (Miley, Usher, Alicia, Pharrell etc.) so why make Jennifer look like a throw-a-way? Of course with Kelly's husband being her manager and Blake's she was not going anywhere. Besides they just bought a house in LA and put their Nashville home on the market so I guess Kelly now has a permanent spot like Blake and Levine. Jennifer was the odd woman out. www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/john-legend-joins-the-voice-as-season-16-coach-exclusive/ar-BBNigVS?li=BBnb7Kz" John Legend in, Jennifer Hudson out. Legend, fresh off his Emmy win for his role in NBC's Jesus Christ Superstar Live, has joined The Voice as a coach for its upcoming 16th season in the spring. Legend will join the spring panel that includes returning coaches Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. Jennifer Hudson, who coached the 13th and upcoming 15th season of the NBC singing competition, is not returning. Carson Daly will again return as host. Legend, sources say, came to NBC with a desire to join The Voice. In addition to his Emmy for Jesus Christ Superstar Live, Legend is a new member of the rare EGOT club, having won 10 Grammys, an Oscar (for original song, "Glory," from Selma) and a Tony (for co-producing Jitney)." I'm not the least bit worried about Jennifer Hudson. Heck, she'll be playing Aretha Franklin in the inevitable biopic and will likely win another Oscar, etc. etc. She doesn't need to put out albums or go on big exhausting tours or worry about the Billboard charts. She does acting, she gets the judging gigs, does TV ads. She's broken through to that next level of celebrity. I wish I could figure out why I don't like her very much. She does everything right. Works hard. I just don't feel it. I'm not worried about Jennifer. But they could have rotated her out without sounding as if they replaced her with someone better. But she is still a coach on The Voice UK. As for touring, Adam probably enjoys touring where Jennifer would not. She is has never been much of a touring draw. I think she is content being the go to person for tributes. And tho her big acting gigs are few, she does get many smaller acting opportunities. Aretha is one of the big ones. But her last big endorsement deal with Weight Watchers ended years ago. My guess is if they updated Adam's earnings he would have passed her now. The last few Forbes Idol earning lists had him making more. And he has not come off the road since. But they are both doing very well. They are always listed as the most successful Idols along with Carrie, Kelly, Daughtry and Kat. I would love to see Adam get more acting gigs but I think music would still be his priority. Adam recorded and sang He in Fever. No way to know how it would have gone over because it was never released to radio as a single. So many of his good songs were never released.

Adam expressed this many times, especially in early interviews. Within a group, each person is unique. Agree. Adam had a hard enough time when he came on the scene, tho, they pretend to forget how hard they made it for him to succeed. If he had taken the stage or done videos dressed like a woman back then, I don't think he would still have much of a career today. Besides he should be allowed to present himself the way he wants instead of trying to be like someone else. Troye is Troye and Adam is Adam. They started their careers on different playing fields and Adam cannot move backwards to 22 and a teen audience. But Adam is a gay man period. A sexy and handsome man who also appeals to many women and also fronts Queen, lol. Nothing to prove. The same goes for Sam and Frank. No one should have to prove how gay they are visually to make and sell music (unless that is what they want to do). I'm glad that Adam seems to be moving away from the pop arena. His talent is so big and extraordinary and I hope he gets more recognition for that.

But we did get the recent tidbit that Whatta ya want from me? was written as What does he want from me? In the interview in The Guardian (I believe) he said that this sentence in WWFM: It messed me up, need a second to breathe First was: He messed me up, need a second to breathe If you search for the lyrics by P!nk it will have this last line in the lyrics.
