Hmm I was a little surprised at Nile's lack of effusiveness over Adam the person, his voice, or song, when it seemed the opposite in his blog and tweets from that time, although he was quite complimentary about Sam Sparro. Yeah, I thought the same thing. Almost seemed like he was a little reluctant after he found out that Sam wanted him to work with Adam Lambert. Was it perhaps turn-off from the AMAs? It seemed strange, especially after those "most organically perfect jams I've had since Bowie" comments. I just don't know what to think now. May I bring a different perspective? 1. He sounded a tad reluctant about casting shows (and I hear him say - it bothers him, that the contestants can´t have a day "off", can´t afford to take risks in a way - because they could be kicked off immediately, and Nile treasures that artistic freedom, without regard to what an audience wants, producers want, judges want,... - just for the sake of making music) 2. He later works with Adam and then talks about the "most organically perfect jams since Bowie. So it couldn´t have been that bad  . So - for me he talks about 2 different things and I do hear his appreciation for Adam. Didn´t he say they forged a lifelong bond as well? There´s definitly some respect there. And what more could you want from such a legend as Nile? |

I listened AFTER reading your comment and was prepared for the worst, but I did not experience it the same way. Here is how I heard it. He basically said that he has a problem with the concept of AI, but not with Adam. It takes a while to become an artist like Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie or Prince, and even Prince could have a bad day and get voted off AI. Reading between the lines: Neil is saying that while Adam was NOT voted off during the show, he lost the finale despite being like the "best Olympic swimmer". So in my view, this is VERY positive. He is mentioning Adam's name together with legends like Stevie, Lionel and Prince, and he feels bad that even one of the best singers could not win AI. I felt that he talked about Adam like he talks about Diana or Madonna - "you all know these artists, I don't have to tell you that they are good". "But I have to tell you about Sam Sparro, because you might not even know him" But that's just my take on this... |

So now we don't love Niles anymore because he didn't go fangirl enough when talking about Adam? Seriously... #sigh for record I think Niles has earned right to say (by virtue of being Niles) whatever the hell he wants however he wants to and has more than demonstrated his appreciation for Adam.
Carry on I guess.

Q3... is there any way you can squish up the Top 40 radio stations just a bit more so it's not so wide? We really have to scroll page 1 back and forth in order to read everyone's posts.
(or at least I do... maybe it's just my computer?)

Carry on I guess. I am not irritated about the fact that Niles hasn't gone fangirling about Adam, but about the fact that I must have interpreted his previous messages maybe in a wrong way. Of course he has every right to do and say what he wants, but I think that I for my part hear something in this interview or - better said - DON'T hear something I would excpect to hear  For example Pharell never has been too enthusiastic about his collaboration with Adam and that's totally fine with me. I don't expect other people to freak out about Adam all the time! |

The Voice (radio Finland) is testing Trespassing today. Click 'Rakastan' here (scroll a bit down) www.voice.fi/musiikki/ensireaktiossa-adam-lambert-trespassing-kerro-mielipiteesi/1/42781The poll is open only today and allows only one vote per IP address. The programme runs from 14.00 to 18.00 (ending at 11 am eastern), spins at 14.50 and 16.30. Yoy can listen by clicking the big green spot at the top '24H NETTIRADIO KUUNTELE TÄSTÄ'. ETA Nova played TP three times yesterday, they are on board early and make an effort. NRJ was the first spinner but so far TP has got only a few test spins as the spins do not show up on their list of played songs. I have not heard of YleX, YleX3m or Aalto spins yet.
