I haven't seen it posted yet, but GREAT NEWS(!!) for those craving a ballad!!!! According to the Build interview there will be a ballad on side A of Velvet, amongst mostly groovy tunes. Adam said he had worked on it prior to being in his current relationship. Yay, that would give us lovers of ballads two of them  |

Well, Build was a treat. Satisfying in so many ways. I fully agree. Even the segment when he had to talk about AI yet again - I never heard him mention the bit about not getting promoted in the Wicked cast several times before (though that may be just me not having seen all the older interviews...) I did wonder why they had to use such low chairs for someone as tall as Adam, but he didn't seem uncomfortable |

I still have to catch up on everything that has happened today but... just five minutes ago I heard Superpower for the first time on a German radio station (they segued into with WWFM and a snippet from a live performance with Queen)!! Keeping my fingers crossed that it was just the first of many, many times. On which radio station did you hear Superpower? I haven’t heard it, because I wasn’t able to listen to radio today. But I just checked and Energy Berlin played it at 9.58pm. Energy was also the radio station, that played Ghost Town for the first time in Germany and later played it every 2 hours. It looks like they are going to support Adam’s new single as well.  And between: I really enjoyed the Build Interview! And I‘m looking forward to the big ballad. And I‘m curious about the song, where Adam sings about Pharaoh.  |

The first one is changing the Don't walk sign to Walk and that gives him the idea that he can and should do bigger things. Thanks! I missed that one! This video is a kind of treasure hunt. There could be more superpowers hidden in this video. Not sure what you meant by the microphone superpower, but I think the finger snap at the end when everything goes black is one. |

Adam said he had worked on it prior to being in his current relationship. He has had beautiful and emotional ballads on all his albums. Feel Something is one of them. No promotion, no tv performance, no radio play and hardly anyone hearing them but fans has always been the complaint for most of us. Not that he did not have any. But glad there is another one at least for fans to hear. |

I've never heard him mention that story about not getting promoted in Wicked before either, and I think I've pretty much seen and heard all the interviews out there. |

True re active vs passive language... all I am saying is that to me Adam’s mastery of his native tongue sounds like a typical product of his educated middle class background...i.e. regular words used properly....nothing too spectacular, just normal ... am I living in some bubble? How bad is it out there?  I agree that there are words we recognize when reading. Others we understand in conversation. But a smaller subset of words we can commonly summon to express a concept in spontaneous speech. Take the word "symbiotic." When was the last time you heard someone use that word in conversation that was not related to biology/science? I cannot think of when I last heard it before Adam used it very casually in his BUILD conversation. As to living in a bubble? I venture to say "yes, you are." I have a masters degree and worked in higher education for many years. It gave me a skewed impression of the vocabulary level and degree of articulateness of the general population. But now that everyone is posting comments on social media and the like, I am shocked at the low level of vocabulary, grammar and spelling skills I see. No, Adam has not used words that I was unfamiliar with (well, except for slang and club lingo), but he has definitely used words I do not often hear in everyday conversation. I'm not sure you can use the average social media site as a benchmark since there are so many non-native speaker posting in English (or an approximation thereof). That said, while I'm usually not surprised by his level of vocabulary (what are those pockets he's talking about, though?), I still think he's quite eloquent and I just love hearing him talk |

I've never heard him mention that story about not getting promoted in Wicked before either, and I think I've pretty much seen and heard all the interviews out there. I can’t remember that story either. I just thought, that they didn’t promote him, because his voice was needed in the chorus. I remember several people saying, that Adam carried the chorus and that he was an important part of it, that they didn’t like to see him leave in the first place. Adam had quit the job before and then came back, because he couldn’t find something else or so. Or was it the different production? Whatever. The director said, that he had never had a better singer for the chorus. The reason, why they didn’t promote him. |
