^^ Well, we all see something different. It was the first thing I thought of, especially with the paparazzi shots (more than a couple seconds), and Adam's recent dive into the world of bad performance decision-making--it all fit together. I think to get what you got out of the video you really have to do some deeper analysis, and I think only Adam's fans are really going to try to do that. On the surface, it seems like Adam is talking to the press or people who didn't like his FYE performance, saying "what do you want from me?!" To remove those pap shots would have made a world of difference, IMO.

LOL, you could be right. I'm an Adam fan/English ABD, which is a dire combo for overanalyzing. However, my immediate reaction was to assume the video involved a couple. Also, the pap scene is short. First he's singing, then there's a three-second shot where he's walking out to the limo; cut away for another three seconds, and then six seconds in the limo. For me not the most memorable part of the video...:)

[poptartz]

#36 now!

Don't forget, Adam's presenting tonight on the Critic's Choice Awards! They come on VH1 at 8:30pm/7:30 pm Central.

I just saw the video on MTV Hits earlier. I think this will go Top 20 on the Hot 100.

Yay! I'm glad to see that the music video is having a positive effect on the WWFM sales. It was #48 last time I checked before I went to bed last night and it's up to #36 now. The music video and airplay combined are certainly doing their job.

Here's the preview for the Adam/SuBo Oprah episode. It looks amazing!



Adam's WWFM video was heartbreakingly beautiful.

As for the concept? According to one of the people involved on the set of the shoot, the video is supposed to be from Adam's lover's perspective. The camera is his lover's eyes, and the viewer is supposed to be looking at Adam as if we are in his lover's shoes. It was really interesting the way they did it. I don't think I've seen a video like that before.

^OMG I can't wait to see to see him on Oprah!! It's going to be amazing! And he looks so hot lol
The video helped the album a little bit too, earlier today I saw it at #109 and now it's #100. I'm sure his appearance on Oprah will help a lot too.

that would be so nice :) :)

[P!nkch TheO™]

my prediction for this song remains the same:
#1 on pop radio
top 5 on hotAC
top 10 on hot100.

This should be hitting the top 10 on iTunes after the oprah appearance.

[maria4hitz]

^I hope you're right.

[Ke$haStan]

LOL i hope hes right to :)


Nice vid btw!

[moodswings]

Adam just presented the best comedy movie award with Sarah Silverman...they did a funny bit about how America is "obsessing" over the fact that Sarah is straight lol.

Oh and they played "WWFM" as they walked on to the stage...promo? lol

Yes! I hope.

Positive thinking creates a positive reality.

[Rurry]

I would be seriously shocked if this went #1 on pop radio.

[StarSprinkles]

I won't even predict where this will end up, but I'm encouraged that it's been picking up. Good for him. :)

[brb]

Out of all non-monitored stations, mediabase just had to add 6 stations that are not spinning WWFM yet..

I hope for a good adds week this week.

I just saw the video and I must say Adam looks so much better casually than all glamed up.

[P!nkch TheO™]

up to #35 on itunes.

[blue in moonlight]

^ But a not-so-good update. He seems to be stalling when others in Top 40 appear to have recovered from the freeze. These next few weeks will be really important for this song.

[foxxden]

Up to #33 on itunes!

But yeah it's airplay needs to start improving. If it doesn't start to recover in the next two weeks then I'm not so sure it ever will

#39 on AT 40...so that should help it's weekend spins...maybe OHP will start to play it again too.

[kamikazeheart]

Oprah couldn't air soon enough!

I agree. I prefer him with minimal make up too. He looked GREAT in WWFM video.

[sunpeach]

I hate all the suspense. If this stalls, I think his "singles" career is pretty much over but hopefully he can be an album seller. Unless Lady Gaga or someone of her ilk will do a duet with him.

[Kworb]

Yeah this is really a make or break moment. I hope we see bigger gains soon.

Seems #33 will be its iTunes peak until Oprah; it's down to #37 now.

[Justin.]

What a great iTunes boost from the video! I think it will go Top 20 (on iTunes) after Oprah.
