About 'the faces and not cameras' statement
I understand Adam's point of view on this matter. He also said some time ago, that he would like to see our pics as avis and not his pics. Well, Adam, you know, we understand how you feel, but .....
We like to see your face as our avis and if we don't take pics and video while you are performing how can we watch them afterwards and how can the ones who are not there see you and your wonderful singing. Just asking.

Q3, I have the same question as tigerlily. Are you just assuming that Adam is playing potential singles for PDs, or do you know it for a fact? Because it certainly seems like something the label should be doing (maybe even the most important thing).

Ok, so I was the one who mentioned Bieber earlier and I decided to go to Billboard and look at his chart history specifically on the CHR Radio chart which is Pop Songs. He has had 7 songs on this chart and of those only three made the top 20. One Time peaked at #14, Baby at #16 and Somebody To Love at #20. His highest peak on the Radio Songs chart which tracks overall AI across formats was #24. I could find no Adult Pop Songs (HAC) entries and he had 2 Adult Contemporary (AC) #2 and #3 both xmas songs. He has however 20 songs that have hit the Hot 100 which is sales, airplay and streaming even there only 2 top ten and the highest was at #5. So here is the case of someone who has had great sales and in the public eye is seen as a HUGE success and yet in the realm of Top 40 radio is really not all the huge. I think though that if you asked the average person on the street how many #1 songs Bieber has had I would bet they would say more than one. Perception is as important as the actual statistics. What would hurt Adam more at this point than BTIKM not getting higher on the charts would be the media portraying it as a flop and so far we haven't had that. But that is my main problem with all the fan angsting is that we KNOW certain media outlets monitor the fan sites and if WE call it a flop we increase the chance that media will call it that as well. Of course it would start with the nastier bloggers but you can never tell if those things will pick up steam or not. All I can say is it's a VERY GOOD THING that the media LOVES Adam as much as they do because right now they WANT Adam to be a success. If they ever turned against him though it could be brutal. Bieber has something that Adam doesn't have. Millions of elementary age/tween girls buying his music. It's the same thing that is happening to One Direction. They had more people show up at The Today show than any artist in the history of Today show concerts. Their album is opening this week at around 200K and it is number one on charts all over the world. You don't need CHR hits, when you have millions of little girls and their Moms buying your albums, merchandise and concert tickets. Justin had three songs in the top 20 on CHR. Adam hasn't been able to break into the top 50 on CHR with this single. There really isn't much comparison here on "perception". SO...... |

Don't be sad! I think it is amazing that Adam's Charity Water page has raised almost $70k this time around. Even if it does not make its goal, it is not a failure, as any little bit helps. Look at Justin Biebers page, he has only raised 15K since 2/28. |
