A little bit of venting here, if you don’t want to read anything even slightly negative please scroll.
A couple weeks ago I started following another artist on Instagram. He happened to release a new song on May 24. Since then every day every couple of hours there is an Instagram story with a little piece of the song playing in the background. Sometimes it’s a fan post with his music playing or a piece of his music video. although I did not like the song so much at first now, after repeatedly listening to bits of it every couple of hours, I’m starting to like it. And the posts keep coming....
Why is Adam’s social media presence so limited? How difficult is it for someone on His team to keep pumping out his new music?
I see Adam is continuing to promote everyone around him, we just had an Instagram for Miley Cyrus and an Instagram for Tove Lo, and so on... none of them reciprocated so far... and not that much of New Eyes in the last several days.
I’ve never had a chance to compare Adam’s online activity to anyone else as he’s been the only artist I’ve followed, but now I have a sample of one more and it’s truly frustrating to me.
That said I think he’s getting wonderful exposure on TV currently, he is on his way to EU for more promo, so obviously he’s management is doing their job just not in social media space.

I think it's because Adam want's to do it mostly by himself. He posts everything by himself and doesn't let anyone else handle his social media. But he's a busy boy and tends to not think about it I guess. He absolutely can be more present. We were actually getting one Twitter post like every day for the first couple of days after the release. Which was surprising already. But he slowed down already again. He sure can learn a lot still about self promotion.

We were actually getting one Twitter post like every day for the first couple of days after the release. Which was surprising already. But he slowed down already again. He sure can learn a lot still about self promotion. I‘m following several other artists. They don‘t really post more than Adam. Of course, it depends on the day and if they have new music out or are touring. But on the whole, it’s not that different. Adam has posted about New Eyes on a Daily Basis in the beginning and every few days since the release. There are also paid ads with the song. And to be honest: Would I get constantly pieces of a song, that I’m not really into, I wouldn’t like that. If an artist did that over weeks and months with every new song, I might unfollow that artist. I like to choose my music. I hate ads. I know, they are important to some extent, but I skip them. I even skipped Adam’s, because I was too fast. When I noticed, what it was, it was already skipped. If an Instagram account is only used to advertise, I wouldn’t like that one and unfollow. I don’t think, Adam’s followers don’t know about New Eyes. If they don’t or aren’t listening to it, they are not interested. IMO, of course. 😉

I think it is more because Adam uses social media more like a regular person than as a promo tool. I think Shosh has to kind of prod him in to doing the promo type posts. I actually prefer that than artists that do intensive promo on their social media because it feels more like we are getting to know him a bit rather than being sold to.

That said I think he’s getting wonderful exposure on TV currently, he is on his way to EU for more promo, so obviously he’s management is doing their job just not in social media space. I don't follow other artists the way I follow Adam, so I can't tell how limited his social media presence is in comparison, but I am wondering how many of his followers are actually active followers and dedicated fans at this point. I thought about that when to my great surprise I realized how quiet it was on Twitter after the last two NE performances. Not sure if everybody experienced it the same way I did, but I was wondering where everybody was. I realize that IG has become way more prominent the past few years but Twitter used to be buzzing. Even this board didn't necessarily go "nuts" after the last two NE performances, especially after Idol. Let's face it, it's almost four years after TOH was released and people were waiting and wondering ... We missed him, and Adam didn't make too much of an effort to at least keep engaging with his fandom. He apologized for it in a recent chat but justified it with not really knowing what to say or talk about...Now he's back and time has passed and he looks and sounds very different and I am gathering that not everybody is jumping up and down. Adam has always been good at promoting other artists and I wish he would have spent time to also connect with his own fans a bit more, even during "off times". Of course we know now that there were times when he needed to take care of himself first. I am streaming, viewing, and sharing as much as I can but when I look at all these Spotify lists, I do realize that there are many other artists out there who want a chunk of that pie, and many of them have their followers too. I think it will take a bit of time for Adam to re-establish his fandom and get people excited again. Let's not forget that he has a different label now too. However, if the music is good, it will happen. Just not overnight. I very much love the new sound.

There are so many Adam fans who are no longer active on this board and/or on twitter and Facebook too. People move on to other things or are busy with their lives. Some drifted away who weren't so fond of the QAL collaboration I think. I will always support Adam, his voice and his music but I do get discouraged when he doesn't always get the recognition and opportunities that I think he should. I realize he gets a great deal of recognition and has had amazing opportunities, so I have to argue with myself about setting my wishes too high.......(sigh).

Spoiler Alert if you don't want to hear about Rocketman......
Back from seeing Rocketman. I really liked it. It kinda just stopped about 25-30 years ago with the ending showing clips of how long he's been sober, married and his two kids. I thought the musical format worked well with the songs describing what was happening in his life at the time. That was well done IMO. The director and time period and great songs were similar to BoRhap...and the drugs and the gay parts and the evil opportunistic managers. It kept me totally engaged thruout. And as far as the R rated "gay sex scene"....wtf was up with that? It didn't show anything but kissing and somebody's back and someone's knees. You couldn't even tell who was who. That should not have gotten an R rating IMO. I was reminded of Adam when Elton got a gift of an Elvis album singing Blue Suede shoes....and the Troubadour which is still happening in LA. The mom and dad were really cold and evil....I hope that was embellished, but probably not....and his relationship with Bernie Taupin was a highlight.

I think Adam is recognized as a great talent and we can not argue that he hasn't gotten his opportunities. He just needs to find a way to connect with his own music now. I have no doubt that a lot of his peers would kill to be in his position.
