I dislike very much what happens to AI originals once they get put in the hands of the "professionals". Adam has the most amazing voice, the most amazing instincts of any artist in this generation. But the snippets are so filled with overlays and background music that to hear his signature style....well I don't. I want Adam to have complete creative control. I want to hear Adam sing. I do not want to hear the same type of first CD released by most Idol contestants. He is sooooo much more than that. Let this first CD make a huge amount of money....then Adam, darling star, take your time with the 2nd and do it your way. I will buy this one, because I want the world to recognize they are seeing a "one of a kind talent". I want him to have a long and successful career. It's pure selfishness on my part...I love hearing him sing.
