Before my first surgery i didn't like my musclar legs, now i wish i still had them lol...wished they were and some other stuff...i wouldn't say it was really body issues, it wasn't like that, no insecurities...but just some things you wished were different...then during my first semester something clicked and i was like "you know what? I'm gonna rock this shit!"...through my surgerys I've learned to love my body for what it is and what wonderful things it does for me and let's me do everyday... Sometimes showing skill can contribute to a song, if the song channels a sexy side, it just irritates me when some acts seemingly never never find a proper full outfit...it gets kind of inflationary. Typo? Lol. I assume you meant "Sometimes showing skin can contribute to a song...". I agree that it gets really annoying when so many artists are trying to sell by showing the most skin possible. It used to be the pop divas only but lately it's also fashionable amongst male artists. Equal opportunity I guess.

I have no doubt that Adam can relate to SS's IG post. Sadly, body image issues are not exclusive to but very common in the gay community. I do not think that SS meant to show off or flaunt his looks, on the contrary, for me he made himself vulnerable by taking his shirt off and stating that he is embracing his body the way IT IS. He is definitely rather "average" looking in that pic - relatively fit, but not skinny or particularly "hot" - which should be re-assuring and inspiring for many, and hopefully serve as an incentive to rethink values and embrace what we were given. We can all work with it.
Still, looks matter. I believe that everybody in the public eye can achieve being decently in shape and dress in a way that looks good. When it comes to Adam and new music on the horizon, I hope that he will work with someone who really knows how to make his natural beauty and undeniable assets shine, and thus style him accordingly.

Tori Kelly has some great management. She has had good success and exposure but her album nor singles were huge hits in the US or worldwide. Yet she was able to switch genres where the competition was not as great and ended up with two Grammy's. Good management pushing for you and label support for what you want to accomplish can pay off big. I sure hope that Adam has a lot of management and label support for what he is doing now. If he is going more Glam rock or alt or Queen like he will need help getting exposure on multiple charts and not only the ones he has been on in the past. We have Queen, a movie and solo music to be excited about. And there may be other things out there that we are not even aware of. I think this is going to be an exciting year if what has been happening for him is any indication of more good things to come. I get what you mean. But I am wondering if singing Gospel was something that Tori Kelly had in mind or was even interested in. If yes, awesome that it won her a Grammy! If not so much, well... does she feel fulfilled as an artist now that she has a Grammy? What does Adam want to accomplish? He used to say that it is longevity, and it is looking good. I think he needs to love what he is doing as otherwise he would get bored or burned out, so I hope that he is taking a path with his new music that he can truly identify with AND connect. I personally am craving "soul" in his music, be it singer songwriter stuff or more of a pop/rock edge, as I think that's where his strength lies. I hope it will all come together with strong support from his management and label.

Scooter Braun The gospel album was a passion project for Tori, not a trick to get a grammy. It was her initiative. She has a strong faith. If she'd let him Scooter would totally sell her out on the pop market im sure just like Ariana Grande. As i understand Tori now has more pop leaning music to release. Btw. Scooter was my age when he signed Bieber, i think even a year younger, so not just Bieber was young when the crazy all happened. sizzling63 yes, skin ofc 🤦

She was pretty funny when she first started doing well she gave an interview where she said that when Scooter first started trying to help her he told her she was too boring, lol. I heard that her Christian faith was very important to her but I don't know if she will continue with Gospel music or jump back into pop. But her label seems to be supporting whatever direction she chooses to take was my point. Must be nice. I never said or implied that it was a trick to get a Grammy. Even with less competition they could have still gone to someone else. Never even crossed my mind.
