    Danny is back on his radio tour, going to Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana this week. Schedule is posted here.

    He was just on “Good Day Alabama” morning show from AL Fox affiliate.

    Can’t wait to see Adam on Oprah. Even if we know the answers to the questions, alot of America have not. Hopefully he will get a good boost.

    Great exposure for Kris. That will be a huge audience.

    Me too. I got so nervous for him at the NBA game, and will be nervous for him at the NFC Championship game. I wouldn’t be nervous if he were performing one of his songs, but the NA is NOT an easy song to sing!

    Great exposure for Kris. That will be a huge audience.

    If Oprah is supportive of Adam, and I assume she will be, Adam will definitely get a boost. Yes, the audience for Kris singing the National Anthem will probably be tens of millions of viewers – the Ravens vs. Colts game had around 27 million (so the championship game will be more) – in addition to the fans in the stadium.

    I hope it’s a great week for both Kris and Adam.

    This is the third date associated with this concert – haven’t there been rumors for February 12, 13 and 14th now?

  • SpenserJ

    I’m hoping that as usual, mj provides us video of the Oprah appearance. I appreciate that you always save me the tedious task of watching daytime tv mj!

    We’ll definitely be watching all of the football though at my house. So, I’m sure I’ll see Kris in real time. The NFC & AFC championship games do have huge audiences, so I too hope he does well.

    Oprah & the NFC championship – dang those are two really great appearances for these guys. I hope they both see a nice boost.

  • hoosiermama

    I’m wondering if we’ll see Kris’ (final) AI promo during the NFC game? Didn’t see it this weekend. That would be a nice one-two punch for him.

    ITA, watching someone sing the SSB is nerve wracking for me, too. Hopefully he’ll do fine (tho I remember him commenting “oh crap” that he’d started singing too low at the NBA game!).

    I wonder if he’ll get to meet Brett Favre? Kris is a Packers fan, so I don’t know if that means he’s mad at Brett for leaving the Packers, or he’d still be thrilled to meet him?

  • tripp_ncwy

    I hope Kris does well. That is going to be huge audience. From the Dome to the millions watching on tv.

    I hope they do like they did at his Miami tailgate performance. They showed his picture and played his music inside the stadium during the game. Now they actually have a video to go along with LLWD and could play other cuts from the album.

    I only know Kris as a fan, but something tells me he’d be thrilled to meet Favre, regardless of the fact that he left the Packers. He asked to meet the basketball players at the NBA game and gladly posed alongside them, so I think he would at least ask if he could meet some players and do his best to get photos with them, if possible.

    Natalie Cole, Akon, Jesse McCartney, Grammy Award winner Chrisette Michele, Boney James, Katharine McPhee, Ledisi, Johnny Gill, James Ingram, Brian McKnight, Mary Mary’s Erica Campbell and 25-time Grammy Award winner Stevie Wonder.

  • girlygirl

    Excited to see Adam on Oprah and Kris at the NFC title game (Go Saints, btw). Those are huge appearances for the guys.

    I entered the contest for the Kradison concert — although I’ll already be back East that weekend to see my parents, so wouldn’t actually need the airplane tickets or hotel rooms. Wonder if I could still win if I told them that?

    Men who are sports fans turn into little boys in the presence of professional athletes and forget any grudge they may have against any of them. When the super bowl was in Tampa, my husband and I got to attend some related events (as well as the game itself). I watched him slowely turn into a 12 year old boy and exhibit fanboy behavior far worse than any puffy-painted AI fan at the tour barricades.

    (My deep love for Adrian Peterson requires that I root for the Vikings that day, so GO VIKINGS!).

  • HeidiL

    As a HUGE Kris fan and a New Orleanian, it just doesn’t get any better than this for me!!! Yay Kris and Geaux Saints! Who Dat?!?!

  • Same Cage

    I’ll be at Jack Rabbits in Jacksonville for Jason Castro’s first tour stop on Wednesday. I cannot wait! I hope to have some video to contribute on Thursday morning.

  • tripp_ncwy

    Since Katharine Mcphee played a mini-concert before the game & sang the National Anthem at the Chargers game Sunday. It would also be nice if Kris got to do the same at the NFC Charmpionship game in New Orleans. The Miami tailgate concert was great.

    Hmmmm. Since this is a CA station it is from 10-11pm ES. Does this mean we can call in and request a song from Adam????

    MJ, you lie!

    ‘Adam Lambert spins his favorite music at 104.3 MyFM 7-8pm’

    He’s not there!!!

    Katharine Mcphee is on the cover of, I think, “Shape” magazine in a bikini. She looks great. I saw it at the store but didn’t purchase it.

    ETA – oops, I thought I was in the headline’s thread.

  • sunny2

    Um 8sourcandy that’s 7-8pm pacific time (the station’s in LA). You owe MJ an apology.

  • lorismile

    Woohoo. Adam all week. We are spoiled. Thanks for the heads up MJ! You rock!

    Is this correct?

    Here’s an RCA video showing that Adam’s FYE album has earned 700K in the US.

    http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid50790509001?bclid=335998721&bctid=62169672001

    Wasn’t he only around 450k last week?

  • luval

    Didn’t know where to put this but wouldn’t it be wonderful if Adam appeared on George Clooney’s Haiti relief telethon this Friday? Can you imagine him singing “I Just Love You” or “Come Home” or any one of his moving songs?

    Did I look at that RCA video correctly?…I think it said 700,000 albums sold. Will look again.

  • unique28v

    Great promo for Adam!! hopefully they will play his music along with the music he chooses for the week. great promotion!

  • melirose89

    luval, I think it would be AMAZING if Adam were invited to sing at the George Clooney telethon thing and sang Time For Miracles. I think the song and its lyrics are so relevant to the situation. It’s a stunning, moving song.

  • luval

    melirose89…OMG… Time for Miracles would be PERFECT!!! How could I forget about that one. One of my favorites . And it would be so appropriate. How do we get him on this telethon? Anyone out there know George Clooney? LOL

  • mzbet

    Are there any rumors at all for Kris doing some songs at the tailgate parties for the NFC Championship game? I haven’t heard any myself, but it sure would be nice if it happened!

  • YankeeFan08

    Time for Miracles would be PERFECT!!! How could I forget about that one. One of my favorites . And it would be so appropriate. How do we get him on this telethon? Anyone out there know George Clooney?

    I was thinking the exact same thing. TFM would be perfect. Does Clooney have twitter?

  • luval

    I googled George Clooney on Twitter and it seems as though he is on twitter. If I knew how to do this I would tweet him the TFM video.

  • Destry

    Did I look at that RCA video correctly?…I think it said 700,000 albums sold. Will look again.

    I know, it’s confusing me. Someone else said it could just mean that 700k is how much RCA has shipped in the US, but then why would it say 700k sold?

    The number just seems too high…

  • ksgirlfordc

    I know, it’s confusing me. Someone else said it could just mean that 700k is how much RCA has shipped in the US, but then why would it say 700k sold?

    Shall we say…..Spin!

  • Destry

    That’s one lame spin. :(

  • maggie mae

    I think this idea of getting info to George Clooney is a great one!
    Look at the $$ Adam fans donated during the tour,etc. for the
    children of the US who were in need for supplies for the various
    programs in schools….I know we would all chip in again, or, at
    least those who could…would and spread the word to others.
    That song would be awesome and Adam looking like he did
    in his latest video singing it..(just a t-shirt/jeans) would be
    such a great idea….oh well, this site always has the best people
    on it who come up with some really special ideas and this is
    a winner….now, how do we get to George??????

  • lorismile

    OMG I really hope peeps do not twitter bomb George Clooney. They have huge stars at this. I do not think Adam falls into this category yet.

  • YankeeFan08

    Anyone listening to Adam at 104.3 MyFM? He sounds so great. He’s such a natural.

  • maggie mae

    Adam has already been in/around a lot of big stars…..Just stop and think about all the appearances, galas, etc. events…do you get any bigger than Steven Spielberg? It’s his song, his voice that means a lot and all I am thinking of….They are raising $$ and this little country needs so very much. Children are without parents and it’s all so very sad… I don’t want twitter bombs either/but, the idea is good and his song is very fitting for this situation. His fans will donate and TFM
    (I just listened again/been a few weeks) and the words are so strong
    and full of meaning, especially the way Adam sings it…..Who knows,
    maybe someone bigger than you and I……is already thinking of this idea…..

  • Jae

    Adam is on and sounds great! He has such a good radio/TV voice. :)

  • lorismile

    Trust me if Adam is asked then I think it’s awesome but I don’t think Adam’s fans harrassing these big stars is the way to go.

    I can’t get the radio on my iPod. I’m hoping it shows up somewhere.

  • clearone

    OMG I really hope peeps do not twitter bomb George Clooney.

    I so agree. It’s not something the fans should be getting involved in. Fans should be donating whether Adam is involved or not.

  • Jasper

    Hallelujah! Adam fans who are clearly sane and lucid. Thank you lorismile and clearone for emphasizing that it is up to GEORGE CLOONEY to invite Adam to his telethon not Adam’s fans to bombard him with demands to put Adam on his show. George is NOT a celebrity you want to piss off with twitter bombs.

    And re those 700k US albums “sold”, don’t get too excited. He’s probably just reached the 500k mark in ACTUAL sales. According to the RIAA, you can ship a million to be certified platinum, but not necessarily sell that many. Taylor Hicks was certified platinum but he only sold 800,000 or something like that.

  • 8sourcandy

    MJ, you don’t lie :)

    Just listened to it, I didn’t consider the time difference. East Coast is 10pm.

    melirose89…OMG… Time for Miracles would be PERFECT!!! How could I forget about that one. One of my favorites . And it would be so appropriate. How do we get him on this telethon? Anyone out there know George Clooney? LOL

    Bombarding would not be good.

    ITA, I’m sure there are proper ways these things are done, by labels and managers and fans should just stay away. Twitter is not a way to try and promote your Idol in a situation like this…. Support him by introducing his music to your friends, family etc, buy music, attend shows, hey, go wild and join a blog :) , but leave the business actions to the business ppl!

  • mttp

    Thank you Mj for the information regarding Adam hosting 104.3FM. I tuned in and was able to hear his voice. I would have not known about that if I did not read your blog.

    I guess this is a better place for it, it seems that Adam will be on New York Fresh 102.7. Sometime between 6am-10am tomorrow. Well tomorrow to me on the Left Coast, today to you East Coast types. Is 102.7 an HAC station? Between that and the LA promo, seems that RCA is pushing for more HAC stuff, which is good. I think they should. Of course I think they should have been doing stuff like this all along, but horse dead glue macaroni art.

  • saga

    Nice to see Adam doing lots of radio promo. I guess they are focusing on HAC stations now? He actually did 2 radio interviews when he was in Chicago, I don’t know if the second one was ever posted here.

  • Destry

    Here’s a video of Adam performing IIHY on Oprah:

    http://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/Adam-Lambert-Performs-If-I-Had-You-Video

  • Mary102

    Yes, I’m also happy for more radio promo (btw – any audio links to the djaying stuff yesterday for Adam?)

    I have this sense that, even though radio promo would have been great to do earlier on, Adam’s team really wanted to focus more on these high profile, large exposure gigs, especially in the time leading up to and right after the album release. Part of me thinks that there just wasn’t the time to really focus so much energy on ALL of that, plus a lot of radio stuff – at least not to the extent of, say, what Kris was doing. But as Truthiness put it so well “horse dead glue macaroni art” – lol. :-)

    I hope Top 40 keeps giving WWFM love, too, though I always expected the song to do better on HAC. Doing well on both would be really really nice :-) That angsty, hooky-ness of the song works really well imo.

    If radio isn’t going to immediately embrace him as a male pop-dance-electro artist, songs like this will hopefully allow him to get his foot in the door enough to push the other kinds of music down the road (fingers crossed, stupid radio…)

  • lazyc0w

    I dont know if this has been posted earlier. Adam will be interviewed tmr morning on Singaporean radio. Supposedly he was on a malaysian radio today!

  • jersey

    I thought Fresh 102.7 was an AC station – but I guess it could be Hot AC. I always think of PLJ as Hot AC and Fresh as AC.

    I hope Kris does well. That is going to be huge audience. From the Dome to the millions watching on tv.

    YES! I don’t do football, but I was telling my husband that Kris would be singing at the game on Sunday, and he said that will be “HUGE” for Kris because there will be millions tuned in for that game. Yay Kris! He did a great job on the last national anthem (no runs needed for that song), so I know he’ll kill this one!
