Idol Headlines for 09/16/09

Carrie, David, Fantasia and Kelly are all having good press today, nice.

Kelly blog about Kanye was on point.

Yes, nice to see good reviews. Loved that review of Cookie’s esp.

This is from an interview with the 5-girl band KSM, which was the opening act for the Demi/David tour…

2. David Archuleta: One of the best teen male singers, right?!
We LOVE David! We had such a great time with him on tour. He’s one of the sweetest and most talented guys we know.

3. Any crazy tour stories from the Demi/David tour?
Well, our last day of the tour Demi, David, and their bands pulled the greatest prank on us. They had put powder on Kate’s drum kit so that when she played it would get all over her and they slowly started taking her cymbals off during our set. Finally, at the end of our performance they all came out on stage and wrapped our set in toilet paper and danced to our last song wearing KSM shirts. It was the best!

hi folks, sorry to ask again but…..Can anyone tell me how to see all the comments rather than just one page of them? There used to be a prompt for that. If you already told me, thanks, but as soon as a page ends and another pops up I can only see the second one so I miss any “how to” advice.
thanks!

I cannot wait to see Cook next month!!! I got mezzanine seats, so I can see him! Will definitely brush up on non-album vids, so thanks, guys.

BTW, a co-worker and I discussed Idol (well, the Cook concert). She said she hasn’t watched since Carrie won, but w/ Ellen as a judge, she plans to tune in. So TPTB might get that ratings boost they desperately want. Heh.

What a great review for David. His concert reviews have all been positive for what seem like months now. That neverending tour seems to be paying petty strong dividends. I love that so many of the reviews focus on his comfort on stage, and his rapport with the audience. He’s just a natural up there.

Since that Cook article is now in this thread:

I love this little come back:

Signs about fair food abounded, too, such as ‘Do You Want Some Elephant Ears?’  and DC rolled with the theme. ‘I do eat nothing but food,’  he quipped.

And

‘I hope I don’t come off as insincere,’  he said. ‘It means so much to me that you’re all here.’ 

Cook and the guys must be writing; he’s even talking lyrically’ ¦. Sounds a little like a line from Sgt. Pepper.

I cannot wait to see Cook next month!!!

suebrody, I think you’ll have a blast… I really love him live, the shows are great. Addictive… I am going to Richmond next month to see him. Would be going to two shows next week but thwarted by a birthday – ha!

I love that review… good stuff.

From the Kris article above:

At this moment, Kris isn’t sure if he’ll be playing many instruments on the tracks; it all depends on what they have time for. Kris has been very busy with the 50 city Idol tour so he hasn’t had time to record any instrumentals thus far.

I hope they make the time for Kris to play the guitar/piano on some tracks. Seeing him live, he really comes into his own when he’s playing either the guitar or the piano. It’s natural to him, it’s just Kris. I hope the PTB realize that and make it happen.

Saw him in June and he definitely is a natural. Such a rocker and his interaction with his band is great!

This is a repost of the Adam tour video interview from the other day, but they’ve added an additional 4 minutes to it. The material after 2:15 is all new.

I want to see David but no one wants to go with me – I may have to do a solo thing when he comes around.

I’m glad he’s getting great reviews.

Jim C goodbye tweets to the Idols – I hope he’s right about Adam and the VMAs. Maybe Kanye will jump on the stage with him next time ;p

I want to see David but no one wants to go with me ‘“ I may have to do a solo thing when he comes around.

I’m glad he’s getting great reviews.

When I went to see David in NYC, I knew no one who was going — well, there were people going who post on DCO but I didn’t meet up with them. In any event, I went to both the Nokia/Time Square show and the GMA taping the next morning and knew no one. It’s very easy to make friends, even if just for that one evening, while in line.

If you go on a Cook-centric board, like DCO, you are bound to find people going to a concert you’re interested in. Send them a PM and see if they want to meet up!

Glad to hear that the tour bought them closer, it really showed last night.

colette: If you scroll down to the very bottom, you will see “older comments”.(above the reply box) Click on that to take you to the page before.

ETA: Ooops, I see you were asking to see ALL the comments. I don’t think that’s an option anymore.

Thanks Sassycatz, I’ll do that.

Here’s some banter from DC’s show yesterday (including Family Guy and elephant ears, hee):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNLf8pnfkBg&feature=player_embedded

I had to watch it again to giggle over Andy, lol.

I’m with colette – I miss the “view all” option for the comments.

I suppose this will be an unpopular opinion, but WHEW I’m glad tour is over! Now we can look forward to the next stage — like what Kris, Alli, Adam, Danny will be putting out in the near future.

Can someone post a link to Cook’s tour locations and dates?

hi folks, sorry to ask again but’ ¦..Can anyone tell me how to see all the comments rather than just one page of them?

If you have questions, you can contact me at mjsbigblog @ gmail dot com.

Currently, there is no way to see all the comments on one page. I’m working on it. For now, you’ll need to use the links at the bottom of the page to scroll to the previous or to the next page.

Squirrely

I want to see David but no one wants to go with me ‘“ I may have to do a solo thing when he comes around.

Hey, I’m going! So if you want to meet up, let me know (show is at Lupos in Providence, RI on 10/10). Still GA and mezzanine seats available.

Can someone post a link to Cook’s tour locations and dates?

Here.
MJ actually has links for all events and tours here.

I’ve been to see Cook twice. I went alone once and with a group once. It was amazing either way.

Can someone post a link to Cook’s tour locations and dates?

Go here for upcoming ones. If you want to see past dates, there are links for that too.

http://www.davidcookofficial.com/us/blog/upcoming-appearances-events

Why are there 2600 people online at DCO? Isn’t that higher than the norm?

suebrody you’re gonna have so much fun! BTW he tweeted yesterday that his friend Phil Marshall will be joining them for the next two shows. If anyone isn’t familiar with him he kicks ass.

ETA: lol I now have Huey Lewis stuck in my head from his latest:

@thedavidcook some say the heart of rock and roll is still beatin’. others say its in cleveland. which is it, drew carey and huey lewis?

Another twitter party (minus the punch!) right now! He must be bored..

Whoa I didn’t realize the NJ show was so close that was the one I was thinking about doing, I thought it was in November for some reason. Where was my head. I would love to go on 10/10, but I have a theater subscription with friends and one of our plays is on that night.

This works best for me on my imac (a website, not a program):

From the Kris article above:

I hope they make the time for Kris to play the guitar/piano on some tracks. Seeing him live, he really comes into his own when he’s playing either the guitar or the piano. It’s natural to him, it’s just Kris. I hope the PTB realize that and make it happen.

Yeah, that part stood out for me as well. I hope it’s just a case of the interview not quite having it right, because his single is going to be coming out soon, and would it be without any instruments played by him on it? And I know that Allison/Kris/Adam have a lot of work to do to finish up the tracks on their albums and pick which ones to put on it, etc., but really? Kris hasn’t laid down anything instrumental yet? That seems odd.

RE: Kris and the instrumentals – I think the article just meant that Kris hasn’t played any instruments yet at his album (my bet is he’ll probably not play any at the record). That doesn’t necessarily mean that they haven’t done it yet. Unless he’s forming a band, they will probably hire studio musicians.

I think Kris will absolutely have a band for when he performs live but it’s not going to be a Band band like Daughtry or David Cook and The Anthemic. He mentioned performing w/ a band back when he was performing songs from BNS and I imagine the production for his debut will be a lot more involved.

I’d like him to play like the guitar or the piano on the recorded tracks, but everything else? I don’t think it’s that important, really.

Bummer, Squirrely. Well, I hope you get to go to a show. I’m sure you will. He just doesn’t play in New England often, so I leaped at the chance. 1:40PM for next chance to win Kris passes on mix. Get ready to dial.

Cook’s twitter parties are really amusing. I just tweeted two questions. He’s fast at answering. Adam should take notes. It’s 10 minutes between each one for him. I think David said he had some time to kill…

I hope Kris gets to play guitar or piano on his release. I can’t think he wouldn’t. I assume Cook played guitar on his, right?

I don’t think Kris will play many, if any, instruments in his debut album. But he will definitely play during his solo tour.

Kris and the instrumentals ‘“ I think the article just meant that Kris hasn’t played any instruments yet at his album (my bet is he’ll probably not play any at the record).

Oh I agree that it’s going to be on the album, and it’s just not recorded yet, at least according to this article. My point was more about the timeframe, especially with regards to his single which should come out soon.

I’m sure that even 19Evil and Jive won’t be stupid enough to leave out his guitar playing on some of the tracks.

David Cook is having another twitter Q&A, he’s unstoppable. These are my favorites.

thedavidcookRivaE@thedavidcook how much money did the Tooth Fairy leave for your teeth back in the day? considering my college bank acct, not enough

thedavidcookroxytweets@thedavidcook Favourite soccer team. This is VERY relevant to my interests. LOVE arsenal

thedavidcookcim0rene@thedavidcook musical instrument you never ever want to play? Sorry, castro… ukelele. I think I’d look like a giant wierdo.

Can’t believe that he actually follow soccer lol.

Cook’s twitter parties are really amusing. I just tweeted two questions. He’s fast at answering.

I noticed each time he does these he’s getting faster and faster. Gah he’s spoiling us with his twitter addiction LOL He finished now and I think he’s going to sleep. I got the impression from his middle of the night tweet Neal’s loud music was keeping him up.

“I’d like him to play like the guitar or the piano on the recorded tracks, but everything else? I don’t think it’s that important, really.”

-Yap, I don’t think it matters. It will be his voice and his interpretation of the song that would be and should be the main attraction.

Cook also loves old school basketball: Larry Bird and the Celtics. Made me smile as a Bostonian and huge sports fan. Adam, OTOH, has no idea who Larry Bird and the Celtics are, I’m guessing.

Is there an official date for Kris’s single to drop? I hope it’s 100 percent ready to go and indicative of the rest of his album. In a very good way. This means many promotional activities to come!

thedavidcookcim0rene@thedavidcook musical instrument you never ever want to play? Sorry, castro’ ¦ ukelele. I think I’d look like a giant wierdo.

Great response, as always… but, gasp, Cookie mispelled WEIRDO! Well, technically weird, since weirdo isn’t a word. I’ll just blame it on fast fingers (dude is frickin fast with the twitter responses!), since DC’s one of the few celebs who rarely mispells on twitter, and y’know, I like to put him on a pedestal with regard to these things hee. Shoot me

I want to see David but no one wants to go with me ‘“ I may have to do a solo thing when he comes around.

I’m glad he’s getting great reviews.

Squirrely, I went to see Cook solo because I could only get one ticket, and I had a great time. The woman next to me had gone solo, last minute, too, and we ended up having a great time together.

If it’s not a horrible commute to do by yourself, go. You won’t regret it, I don’t think.

Hey Cook band fans – Andy did a Twitter Q&A last night, also.

Andy did a Twitter Q&A last night, also.

I saw, but it was a Y/N and he didn’t frickin RT the questions so there was no context! And I was too lazy to click through to figure them out. Any resourceful Andy fan post the transcript on DCO or something?

AheadofStraight@thedavidcook PB & J or PB & Fluff? PB and Miracle Whip. delicious. seriously.

That is disgusting. Seriously.

Anissarachma@thedavidcook spicy or salty? If it’s chocolate, neither. gross.

Haha, smartasss.

Suebrody and anyone else going to see David Cook and the Anthemic live will not be disappointed. He/they put on a GREAT show. His voice is unbelievable live, btw.

His twitter addiction is hilarious. Didn’t take long, did it? He picks good questions to answer, too. Quite the variety. But, oh my gosh please tell me he doesn’t really eat peanut butter and miracle whip sandwiches. eww. He’s gotten fast on answering the tweets too… guitar players are often fast typists, that could be part of it.

I need someone to transcribe Andy Skib’s twitter Q&A… since all he did was say yes or no. lol.

Eep, the editing function is gone!

Cook also loves old school basketball: Larry Bird and the Celtics. Made me smile as a Bostonian and huge sports fan. Adam, OTOH, has no idea who Larry Bird and the Celtics are, I’m guessing.

suebrody, I think David once said his brother Adam was a huge Larry Bird/Celtics fan. Was Bird a Hoosier? I think Adam (Cook) went to the same school, or something like that.

You know, I don’t think I’ve seen this nice David Cook interview here on MJs; I could be mistaken –
http://www.clevescene.com/cleveland/soundcheck-david-cook/Content?oid=1639409

suddenly I can’t edit…

This is random, but Josiah Leming has a new EP on iTunes called “Punk A*s Rain” The usual brilliant songs, exponentially better than the average post-Idol album, etc. I’ll let MJ make a pretty link if she wants (I’m not sure if someone already linked it before, looks like it went up on iTunes on 9/11)

spicy or salty? If it’s chocolate, neither. gross.

Cook has apparently not tried bacon or chile chocolate. Yum.

Ok, I think this video is perfect evidence of that great review of David’s concert last night. You get his generous smiles, his sense of humor, The Voice, the way he just commands the stage, how he has the audience in the palm of his hand, and his kick-ass band! It’s something to whet the appetite of those going to any of his future shows.

This one was for Trina

october_cmu@thedavidcook November 3, will you be buying Carrie Underwoods new cd. admit it you will. Consider it admitted

I need someone to transcribe Andy Skib’s twitter Q&A’ ¦ since all he did was say yes or no. lol.

Maybe Neal was impersonating him. I’ve never seen such two taciturn guys. What a match they are with the gregarious Cook — which begs the question: When Cook was playing bass and singing backup for MWK, other than the music, itself, that must have been the most banter-free band ever!

Speaking of bands, I’m betting if they form a band around Kris and most of them stay with Kris for a good while, then they’ll become a band just like Daughtry did. Cook’s more the unusual one since most of the people touring with him now played and/or toured with him pre-Idol.

FYI….Adam Cook,IIRC, graduated from ISU- Indiana State University. And Yes this is the college that Larry Bird graduated from. ISU is different from IU- Indiana University which is known as the Hoosiers, although everyone from Indiana is considered a Hoosier.

Confusing enough for ya???

ETA- ISU..they are the Sycamores.

I’ve never seen such two taciturn guys. What a match they are with the gregarious Cook

I’m seriously fascinated by that dynamic. I think in a Q&A session with Malaysian fans, one fan asked DC about how he met Andy and Neal, and he talked about how Axium and MWK used to do shows together, and mentioned that at first, he thought they were jerks because they didn’t talk very much. That image cracks me up, cuz DC is quite the chatterbox. Anyway, I enjoyed the twitter war between Andy and Andrew, and it’s interesting that they’re friends, since Andrew is even more outgoing than his brother.

I also remember Neal saying once (at an M&G?) that David will make you his best friend whether you want to be or not. So I get this image of David at 19 deciding that Nealand Andy are really cool guys and really awesome musicians and that he’s gonna make them his new best friends, after which he basically stalks them and chats their ears off until the hapless N&A finally cry uncle and say, okay, okay, we give up, we’re you’re new best friends. Go over there, pick up a guitar and sing backup already. Hee.

I hate to tell ya but I don’t think he was kidding about the peanut butter and Miracle Whip thing. My husband grew up in the south and he too likes that combo. I refuse to try it myself because the thought makes me gag but it’s apparently something that’s big in some areas.

october_cmu@thedavidcook November 3, will you be buying Carrie Underwoods new cd. admit it you will. Consider it admitted

Now leome how on earth did you know that one would make me flail??

As a South Jersey/Philly girl, next Q&A the question is going to be cheesesteak or hoagie?

Oh, and I like spicy chocolate too, and who doesn’t like dipping salty pretzels in chocolate ice cream? The guy has no taste!!!

ISU is different from IU- Indiana University which is known as the Hoosiers, although everyone from Indiana is considered a Hoosier.

This is a repost of the Adam tour video interview from the other day, but they’ve added an additional 4 minutes to it. The material after 2:15 is all new.

Thanks for posting this link. I wouldn’t have noticed that they added the full interview. I love how he complements Monica, the tour make-up artist, and says how great she is, even though he does his own makeup.

Haha, David, for someone who didn’t even want to be on Twitter…

BTW, I haven’t gone to a show alone but the 2nd one I went to I took my sister and she vanished to talk to her boyfriend on the phone for 1/2 of David’s set leaving me all alone… but the two girls beside me were huge fans and I had a great time hanging out with them… the fans at the shows I’ve gone to have been very friendly

Dammit, I missed the Twitter party AGAIN! Gah! I thought I had set up my phone to get updates, but it’s not doing that. I desperately need a tutorial on Twitter.

I also remember Neal saying once (at an M&G?) that David will make you his best friend whether you want to be or not.

Heh, you mean the same way he eventually convinced America that he wasn’t in fact a smug bastard, enough to like and vote for him to win AI? Seriously, I’m convinced that as long as you give the dude a little bit of a chance to grow on ya, he could probably convince anyone to like him. He’s most definitely a “pretty personable guy”, to put it lightly. It’s a gift.

About Kris playing instruments on his record– I really doubt the rushed schedule would allow him time to track instrumentals on top of writing sessions and vocals. Has any AI alum played on their first major label records? I know DC didn’t, even though Neal did.

I didn’t much like that Cleveland interview. I do like that the interviewer had nice things to say about DC, but to compare DC to a season where not one of them has a record out yet? I have to think they’re only looking for hits on their site.

The teaser talks about how DC’s overcome recent health issues….ummm DC says during the interview that there’s never been anything to overcome. I have to think they’re only looking for hits on their site.

ETA: DC answered one of my questions,but alas, it wasn’t one I care about the answer to.

ETAA: Neal saying you vill like David vether you vant to or not was pee your pants funny.

Idols forming bands….

Boy, talk about mixed feelings. I am so “old” school that my idea of a band is 4 or 5 guys forming one together and struggling until they hit it sorta’ big and then kicking out one member, adding another and presto…the big time. Otherwise, its kind of, sort of, a manufactured band and I just don’t see those dynamics happening.

Now kudos to DC who invited his old buddies to join him and so that illusive chemistry was pretty much kept intact, and it works and I can see them staying together.

Daughtry, on the other hand, just seems so “fake” to me, maybe not the sound but the dynamics of being a “band”. I just don’t think that, other than Chris, these guys will ever have any identity, for me…but maybe their stalwart Fans identify with the group and not just with Chris.

Now, I see Kris Allen as a solo voice with a back-up band…like Jason or John or Jack Johnson. Even if he puts a band together they will always just be along for the ride and won’t have any identity…and for a lot of musicians they are fine with that, besides they can earn the real bucks by being session musicians between Allen gigs and tours.

Down the road, if Allison becomes the next big thing she might put together a “real” band the stays together. Her voice and style seems to fit that image.

I might drive down to Newport on Sunday to watch David play at the Taste of Newport festival. Good food, live music — why not, right?

Anyone else who lives in SoCal planning to go to this?

ETA: DC answered one of my questions,but alas, it wasn’t one I care about the answer to.

Which one?

ETAA: Neal saying you vill like David vether you vant to or not was pee your pants funny.

Were you there when Neal said this? Was Neal speaking with an accent? I don’t get it.

I am girlygirl ! I’m dragging my brother, I made him into a fan. Food and a concert, sounds like a great time.
Though I didn’t pay for a seat in the first 20 rows. Oh wells, as long as I can hear them.
Uh yeah, I’m a lurker, but have kept up with all the fun…..

Also has been discussed already? I found it on the BMI website:

Songwriter/Composer: ALLEN KRIS
Current Affiliation: BMI CAE/IPI #: 197082247
There is 1 Work Title
Work Title BMI Work #
1. NOT TOO LATE TO RUN 10673598

I’m a little confused because when I clicked on the song title, the following came up:

NOT TOO LATE TO RUN (Legal Title)
BMI Work #10673598
Songwriter/Composer Current Affiliation CAE/IPI #
HAMMOND ALLEN E BMI 197082149
HODGES DAVID BMI 433042400

CARRIE ALLEN MUSIC BMI 197059042
EMI BLACKWOOD MUSIC INC BMI 223437493

Now I saw that Kris had a writing session with David and Steven back in early July, so maybe this is the song they came up with? But it seems unclear whether Kris is being credited as a co-writer or not…

It’s finally here!!!! The cover art for David Archuleta’s “Christmas from the Heart”…

sma11ie, I asked about the necklace. Somebody, somewhere, posted about it looking like Neal had worn the same one earlier. I asked if they were sharing the Paper Mache Rosary Necklace. He said no, Neal’s had a pistol.

and about the German accent…was just my take on Neal saying you can’t help but be David’s friend.

Oh, Davey, I luvs you so….but why do TPTB and you pick a cover, though beautiful, that makes you look 12? I know you have a very youthful face but you are almost 19…I’ve seen a lot of pictures of you that make you look your age.

Oh well….your core demographic will love it, as will all your extra Moms (and I say that without any animosity).

I’ll definitely be buying it too, but I’m with DC, October?? LOL I’ll probably wait until I start doing my Xmas decorating and really getting into the spirit. I’m anxious to hear it though! I bet it will be beautiful.

I downloaded Muse today. Awesome CD!

Cute. He looks like a little elf.

I thought the same thing, heh. I’ll have to pick this up when it comes out.

I wonder what’s planned for the Alma Awards, it’s filming tomorrow I think.

I might drive down to Newport on Sunday to watch David play at the Taste of Newport festival. Good food, live music ‘” why not, right?

Anyone else who lives in SoCal planning to go to this?

@girlygirl, I have media credentials for this. And I’m going to do my best to be there. I have a press trip in S.D. that came up very last minute (like during the concert last night). I’m taking the train back from S.D. to Irvine and should be there about 2:30ish. I want to see Cook and definitely want to represent for MJ’s, but I’m going to be exhausted.

I think I can hang though. He doesn’t start until 6:00 right? And I have a long drive home after a very long weekend. But you can DT me @susebelk if you end up going. I will likely be going alone.

Now I saw that Kris had a writing session with David and Steven back in early July, so maybe this is the song they came up with? But it seems unclear whether Kris is being credited as a co-writer or not’ ¦

hmmm, somebody mentioned in the thread about kris’ new single the same thing (but not in as much detail)….maybe its a glitch on the BMI website? or maybe that portion hasnt been correctly updated to reflect kris’ credit as co-writer?

Isn’t though. Absolutely fabulous.

It looks more like fan art. Not liking it, including the font.
I’ll be buying the album in October even if I will only listen to it later. I will probably have more money during that month than November or December

I downloaded Muse today. Awesome CD!

Really you guys liked it that much? I didn’t dislike it, I just thought it could be stronger. IMHO its like they tried to hard to be ‘artistic’, not all of it worked for me – even with that said I like it and will still enjoy it.

ETA: I did the download from iTunes. Love the new LP product. I’ll look forward to Adam’s album (probably the next) when there are some extras included.

Am I the only Muse fan who was disappointed with this album? I mostly agree with the RS review.

It’s #1 on iTunes but only #6 on Amazon. It looks like it will be Muse’s best selling US album but might not hit #1 Album for the week.

Found it funny that RS mentioned Adam in the Muse review. Guess they never miss a chance.

So RS continues it’s love affair (I hope they never have an ugly break-up) blurb about Adam. I love that shirt and that picture

http://www.rcarecords.com/adamlambert/adam_rollingstone_albumpreview.jpg

I think ‘Strut’  COULD be his first single!

Oh God. Kara????!!!!

This is what the Rolling Stone article said about “Strut”

He also re-united with Idol judge Kara DioGuardi to pen “Strut”, a Depeche Mode meets Queen self-empowerment anthem that high-lights Lambert’s range. “I love stuff that makes you feel sexy, puts you in a good mood,” he says, “The song is supposed to be a confidence booster. The message is ‘Be yourself. Let it all hang out.’”

Oh God. Kara????!!!!

That was my first thought, but she has written some songs I really like lately much as I hate to give her credit. Pretty popular radio-friendly songs too…

I love the following:

Pink – Sober
Cobra Starship – Good Girls Go Bad
Theory of a Deadman – Not Meant To Be

So, well, I’m not going to COMPLETELY judge her on “No Boundaries”, just mostly

Love the Rolling stone piece. We finally have a name of a song, unfortunately it’s a Kara Dioguardi product, UGH. The name “Strut” has definite possibilities, let’s hope Kara didn’t Feck this one up. And Depeche Mode meets Queen seems heavenly to me.

Nouveau-glam rock pop? Hmmm, must think about that one before I decide what it means.

Looking forward to it. I need something new on my Adam playlist.

Thanks for posting guys.

I think ‘Strut’  COULD be his first single!

Eh, could be yes, could be no, or maybe I’m just hoping. I think they’ll decide when they have more songs and direction of the album. They don’t even know what songs are going to make the final cut. Though mentioning the Kara one seems that way. Which the Kara part sucks and sucks hard, but she HAS written things before that didn’t suck, so I’ll hold out hope. Plus I love the Depeche Mode meets Queen self-empowerment anthem with his voice, thing. That pretty much rocks like a hurricane.

ETA: Adam’s first single isn’t due until Oct., yes? So i don’t know that this one has to be his first single. I still think they’re going to want to get a better handle on the ablum first. Again, maybe wishful thinking on my part.

they really do not need to mention him when reviewing Muse’s album, do they? I’m sure other artists have covered Muse songs before.

It could be because Adam’s tweeted about how awesome the album is at least three times already this week, rather than the fact he covered them. Such a fanboy, he is.

Well, the same can be said about Kris’ album; and yet he’s got a single dropping, “Live Like We’re Dying”, before the end of this month.

They do this ALL the time with Idol albums – they get a single out before the album is fully finished. It’s the only way they can do it.

Well, the same can be said about Kris’ album; and yet he’s got a single dropping, ‘Live Like We’re Dying’ , before the end of this month.

Yes, but Kris’s single is going to be dropping in the next week, maybe days at this point, before the end of September at the latest. Adam’s isn’t due to be released until Oct. So that ‘s why I say it’s iffier with Adam, because unlike Kris, he has more time.

I kind of like the title “Strut” but the Kara thing is scaring me. Adam’s songwriting skills combined with Kara’s? It could be scary, but I’m hoping for awesome.

Yahoo interview up http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/272719/allison-iraheta-the-end-of-tour-interview/

Regarding the RS mini-preview of Adam’s album — three interesting new things:

1. No negativity and whining. (picture clapping icon here).

2. T. Rex and Goldfrapp are major influences — first time I recall Adam mentioning T. Rex. I love T. Rex but I am total amazed and impressed that he mentioned them — here is a link to Marc Bolan & T. Rex performing in 1973:

Marc Bolan & T.Rex – “Hot Love” [USA TV '73]

3. One track is specifically mentioned so I guess it is certainly on the album. Writen by Kara DioGuardi, “Strut” – a Depeche Mode meets Queen self-empowerment anthem. Adam said “The message ‘Be yourself. Let it all hang out.’” Could this be his first single from the album?

An album influenced by T. Rex, Goldfrapp, Queen and Depeche Mode — and sexy, upbeat and positive – OK, I’m ready for Adam’s “sonic dress-up party.”

So, does this mean the single will be dropping this week? Do singles only get released on Tuesdays, like albums seem to do? Or can they drop on any day?

Next week is the last week in September, so I’d say yes. His single is dropping next week.

Wow…what I like about that RS preview is what’s on the website about that issue:

“…He also reunited with Idol Judge Kara DioGuardi to pen “strut”‘ a Depeche-mode-meets-queen self-impowerment anthem…
Hope that really means two things…
1.) Adam gets a writing credit (if it lands on the album)
2.) Something Kara helped write isn’t as lame as NoBo

I’m laying my bets on it “leaking” tomorrow! Keep your eyes and ears out people!

I like the title “Strut”, so, um, at least there’s that…

Kara scares me also but I have to believe that she feels the need to vindicate herself after NoBo , so maybe she and Adam came up with a kickass tune. [fingers crossed]

I think the timing for Adam is really great with “Time for Miracles” also being released soon. A classic rock ballad released at the same time as a more modern, edgy, album single sounds like a perfect way for him to cover a lot of bases and showcase his versatility to the non-AI public.

I can see “Strut” along the veins of Good Girls Go Bad at least melody wise! Sounds like a very positive fun song! Can’t wait!

That Kevin Rudolph intervew was very interesting. I totally agree with the last quote: “Whoever has the best songs, honestly. I know it’s about the artist and their whole thing as an artist, but I always believe it’s about the song. Whoever has the best song wins.”

Strut by Kara sounds skeery. She can write great stuff but she can also write real crap.

Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m a newbie at this. The radio stations would already have the digital track of Kris’s song if it drops tomorrow, right? It would be sold on I-tunes starting on the day it drops? How do they advertise it…I’ve followed the album releases, but not singles. How’s it work?

The guys, posting below me, are right. It’s probably just an interview.

Still excited though.

Oh and before people poo-poo EVERYTHING Kara’s every done JUST because of “No Boundaries”, take a look at a list of her work:

Ooooh!! Since Rolling Stone has been so good to Adam, maybe he and the label promised them the exclusive to preview his first single?

I think when RS said video, they meant video of Adam recording his album along with an interview and not the music video of the single.

RS probably means video of Adam talking about his album. Not a fully completed video. You’ll know when Adam films his video. That info always leaks quickly and Idol videos are famous for sucking.

Usually Idol songs a)leak first b)go to AOL music c)get officially previewed on the radio.
That will probably happen with Kris’ song by next week.

I kind of read it more as a ‘behind-the-scenes’  video of him working on the album and a mini-interview about it. I was just happy that we’d have new visual info..lol.

Oh, maybe you’re right. I let my excitement run away with me.

I like what he says about Allison. I can’t even imagine her music being that much Cookie-Cutter with those vocals the girl has!
On ONTD_AI it was posted that Allison is going to Sweden to record with Mar Martin, a friend of hers said so. That’s really nice.

Kara has worked with everyone. She did some songs for Katharine McPhee and David Archuleta as well. I think Top 40 is more her thing not country.

Old timers here may remember that she wrote “Open Toes” on Kat’s album.

I know she did write a song for Allison, I read in an interview that they didn’t meet but Kara sent her a song, didn’t know about Kris tough, but as jpfan said, Kara works with almost everybody, we will see who gets the best “Kara” song for their album.

Kevin Rudolph is full of praise for ALlison and she only said nice things as well, I really expect some good songs from this collaboration

That album preview is really nice for Adam, not going to lie I never heard any of T Rex albums but they have great reputation and the other things sad in the piece are really exciting.

Sounds like a good bet that it is out really soon.

I agree that RS is OTT for Adam and never misses a chance to mention him. But I think Adam is the most famous singer to cover a Muse song. Not many people can actually sing them in the first place — who else can come close to Matt Bellamy’s vocal range? And who else is fearless enough to try?

Kevin Rudolf is working with the three on their post-’American Idol’ debuts

Keven Rudolf doesn’t seem like a reliable source for what these albums will be like or how much control these 19 managed artists really have. I can’t see that the label would get very involved in the songwriting sessions– just in setting them up and in deciding what gets recorded for the album.

And he really talks a lot about working with Adam when it was one 5 or 6 hour session that happened in early June. As far as I can tell, Adam has never mentioned working with Kevin — so I don’t think that he his high on Adam’s list. For example, from Kevin’s MySpace page — posted on 9/5/09:

Kevin and American Idol’s Adam Lambert

9/5/09 Kevin Rudolf is in the studio working with American Idol’s Adam Lambert on Adam’s new album. More news on this collaboration to come.

Kara has worked with everyone. She did some songs for Katharine McPhee and David Archuleta as well. I think Top 40 is more her thing not country.

Yup. And she did a song with Cook too, right? She has not worked with Chris Daughtry yet but I remember her saying that he’s the one she wants to work with soon. I think there’s some clause now in the Idol contract that you have to work with Kara or you don’t get signed LOL!

After reading that list, 2 things come in mind:
1) There are some pretty good pop tunes in there
2) She has more success working with women than men.

I don’t think it’s a lock that “strut” will be on the album because it’s on RS, they still have ways to go before finishing it and setting the track list.

Have you heard the rumor about an Allison/Slash collaboration? There’s a tweet he made about adding a song to his CD featuring a young female singer, mostly unknown, who has a little “janis” in her voice. I’m at work, so don’t have access to Twitter…but some people tweeted him asking him if it was her. Don’t know if he responded. He definitely seemed enamored of her on the show.

I downloaded Muse today. Awesome CD!

Really you guys liked it that much? I didn’t dislike it, I just thought it could be stronger. IMHO its like they tried to hard to be ‘artistic’, not all of it worked for me ‘“ even with that said I like it and will still enjoy

This. It’s a’ights. It worked in parts but was kinda ho-hum in others. IMO.

I haven’t read the RS review, but I’m kinda undecided on the Muse album. I thought bits of it too bombastic, bits of its very nice, but no great songs in the album (the new single is good, but not great). They sure like their Chopin though (not entirely sure, but I thought a note or two of the nocturne may be wrong). Personal favorite Muse album – Origin of Symmetry.

BTW, IMO, Goldfrapp’s electronica stuff isn’t very good, not good to have them as an influence, and did someone say I Love To Boogie is one of T-Rex most famous songs?

Shocking news of the day (to me anyway) – David Cook an Arsenal fan? If he meant the English club Arsenal, I’ll take it as a personal betrayal and will have to reconsider my membership of his fan club (a very disgruntled Spurs fan here).

I would be a great combo but do you think Slash would describe Allison as ‘mostly unknown’ ?

That was my only qualm about thinking it was her. I’m not sure that was his exact wording, I may be misremembering the exact quote…lol.

Yahoo interview with Allison Iraheta is up.

http://video.yahoo.com/watch/5999241/15595888

OMG! I am so happy for Allison right now. She (IMO) was the most talented an distinctive in S8 (for me) and I am so happy that she is receiving notice for her peers for her wonderful talent. As some have predicted, I really do think she’ll be the breakout star of S8. She’s just so distinctive to me and many who saw her on Idol already know what type fo music to expect from her. Don’t fuck it up Jive!

ETA: “I would be a great combo but do you think Slash would describe Allison as ‘mostly unknown’ ?”
Yes, yes I would. Only in the AI Bubble would this be considered a real question. She was in a big show for 4 months in which she didn’t even make the final 2, she has never charted with a song of her own and your average man or woman on the street would have no idea who she is. Most peeps, even AI fans did not follow the tour or any of these kids after the finale, y’all. So yeah, Slash’s description of “she’s mostly unknown” is probably putting it mildly.

Thanks Sunn for the links, yes certainly remembered Children of the revolution because of the Moulin Rouge soundtrack and the rest of the vids are pretty awesome too, I definetly could see them as an inspiration for Adam’s future work, just don’t know how working with Kara, Redone, Tedder and Max Martin translate to this tough.

Cindym This is his tweet http://twitter.com/SlashHudson/status/3988739399

It fits her but i think she has a lot of janis in her vioce.Allison just left NY (her a&r)tweet http://twitter.com/TeresaLWhites/status/4038412718
Sweden.If it is her the vocals must be done or slash heading to sweden?

PERFECT title, but I’m feeling iffy on the Kara.

I would be a great combo but do you think Slash would describe Allison as ‘mostly unknown’ ?

I could see him describing her as that (after all she has 0 original material out there) but I would be very (pleasantly) surprised if it was the case, i think we would have heard about it from some other source.

Shocking news of the day (to me anyway) ‘“ David Cook an Arsenal fan? If he meant the English club Arsenal, I’ll take it as a personal betrayal and will have to reconsider my membership of his fan club (a very disgruntled Spurs fan here).

You’re just jaleous they never win against them , Go Arsene Wenger!

Is Allison going to Sweden for pleasure or work related?

Is Allison going to Sweden for pleasure or work related?

Work related. She’s going to work with Max Martin. I don’t think there’s much time for pleasure.

Snippet of Kris’ new single:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8mDmjLK6jM

It’s the Scripts song.

They’re saying on TWoP that Kris’s single IS The Script’s song.

Variety, the ”bible” of the entertainment industry, weighs in on the alma awards, where david a is set to receive an honor for ”male rising star”, and perform… sch-weeeet! read more at the link….

Alma boasts eclectic music taste
Honorees range from rap to country

By ANTONIO MEJIAS-RENTAS

Where else but the Alma Awards would David Archuleta, Lynda Carter and Black Eyed Peas rapper Taboo be nominated in the same category? They are all part of this year’s eclectic mix of music honorees.

Archuleta, the Miami-born son of a Honduran singer, is one of two rising star honorees — the other is R&B singer Kat DeLuna, born in New York to Dominican parents. After finishing second last year on “American Idol,” Archuleta has sold close to a million copies of his self-titled debut album. DeLuna’s debut “9 Lives” earned a Latin Billboard award, and she is currently working on a follow-up.

It seems our suspects were correct! It is the scripts song as per this video. Do you like it?

Yup, it is! Here is the snippet that was played on the radio

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ycc7c7GWJZI

Sounds EXACTLY like The Scripts version.

Snippet of Kris’ new single:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8mDmjLK6jM

It’s the Scripts son

From what I heard, he didn’t change it much. His voice is smoother than Script. I think it would be a hit.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8mDmjLK6jM

I LOVE IT!!! I’m so happy for Kris! With Jive’s support, I can see this doing well!

David tweets that he also had a photo shoot today for People magazine… no other details given, just the photo shoot info… could be Alma related, or for something else… either way, it’s pretty darn awesome, and has everyone buzzing!

Just did a photo shoot for People Magazine. Good times!

I like it. His voice sounds great on it. Go Kris!

So Sherena, it sounded like Kris but it sounded nothing like The Script song if what I was hearing was the new Kris single. I guess I expected him to be less hip hop than that.

LMAO at not a Chelsea fan. I guess I can forgive him because Arsenal isn’t going to make it this year. They’re half way down the table 5 matches in. I guess I always expect him to pull for the crap team. I typically do being a Chicago fan, but my EPL side has always been Man U. I’ve been accused of just pulling for the perennial favorite, but I’m totally in awe of Alex Ferguson. If he wasn’t so fugly, I’d likely have a crush on him.

Going back a page or 2, there are actually 2 Tuesdays left in September, the 22rd and the 29th, so Kris’ single could officially drop either next week or the week after. I’m not surprised that it’s starting to leak already though. Seems like Kris is getting the typical SONY/19 strategy, including an overproduced first single that’s meant to be a clone of his greatest hit from Idol, in this case, Heartless.

moving comment to the snippet thread

Yup, it is! Here is the snippet that was played on the radio

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ycc7c7GWJZI

Kris sounds so pretty! He sings it with more energy/urgency than the Script.

I hope it gets released soon, ’cause I want to hear the whole thing!

I dont dislike the song, but I prefer the voice of the scripts guy… Kris voice sounds more generic to me, even being smoother. Lets see how jive sells it!

I liked it. Sounds kind of rappy. When I first heard it I wasn’t sure but after the third time listening to it,I started to like it. I’ll know more once the single comes out.

I liked it on the first listen. Haven’t even heard The Script version and don’t really care IMO. I think it’s really catchy. Can’t wait to hear the whole thing!

The Lindsey Parker Allison interview is a lot of fun and she pretty much confirms what we thought, So what was her least favorite song to sing and the producers “helped her” choose the song. I like how she talks about what the tour has taught her in terms of learning to take care of her voice and how even if they’ve done the songs 45 times, the people coming over to see the show paid to see it for the first time and you have to step it up every single time, very mature.

Sorry DP.

We’re all so wicked smaht figuring out it was The Script’s song.

And it sounds VERY similiar to The Script’s song. Not sure how I feel about that. Maybe the beginning is mixed up a bit more.

But it’s pop-y, his voice sounds nice, I can totally see this song as him. I think it will do well.

Not sure I’m a fan of it personally, but I’m not important, having Kris be successful, is.

Is Allison going to Sweden for pleasure or work related?

Hehe, I couldn’t resist, but who in hell goes to Sweden for pleasure?

hmmm, I don’t know. Of course Kris’ voice sounds lovely but I’m not sure this was the kind of song I was expecting from him. I truly love his voice…maybe when I hear the whole thing, I’ll like it better.

In any case, I hope it’s a hit for Kris.

We’re all so wicked smaht figuring out it was The Script’s song.

Help, I’m lost. What do you mean it is ‘The Script’s song’ ??

Sherena
September 16, 2009 at 6:45 pm

I’ ¦. don’t like it at all.

If it weren’t by Kris it would be the kind of bland song I listened to for a few seconds and then turned off.

He didn’t change it either.

Maybe the rest of the songs on the album will be better. I won’t be purchasing this song though.

I don’t like it at all either. I hated The Script’s version and was hoping Kris would rework it. Does not sound like he did anything but sing it with the same arrangement.

I am very disappointed. I won’t be buying this single.

The Script’s song that Kris is singing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unzBo3m5N2I

Thanks Gigi3, but I still don’t understand….why would Kris’ new single be someone else’s song??? Help me out here…am I having a (pre)senior moment?

For me (for you, for me) the song’s okay. Just.
That said, it’ll be a hit for Kris.

Thanks Gigi3, but I still don’t understand’ ¦.why would Kris’ new single be someone else’s song??? Help me out here’ ¦am I having a (pre)senior moment?

Hey, Dallas, you probably missed all the conversation about this yesterday. The Script wrote Kris’ new single and there is a version of it floating around on youtube (see Gigi’s link) from when they released it as a B-side on an EP.

It is, for all intents and purposes, a new song and not a cover since The Script’s version was never released widely nor played on radio.

Thanks halfie. I guess I am such a neophyte in the music business but I am so surprised at this. I did not realize that someone would write a song for Kris, semi release it and then it would be Kris’ first big single. It just seems weird that he would not release his “own” thing….

Am I the only Muse fan who was disappointed with this album? I mostly agree with the RS review.

A little late.. but YES, I’m glad I’m not the only one. I think they tried too hard & RS got it right – maybe 3 1/2 stars for me.

Regarding Kara’s songwriting prowess, wow, she does have a pretty formidable resume. I didn’t realize she wrote “Sober.” That is a very good song.

I think NoBo suffered from the “too many cooks” formula. And they all went overboard trying to write the inspirational coronation song. Whose hilarious recap was that when they gave the “formula”? The NoBo trio tried to throw every variable into the equation and it ended up bloated and ridiculous.

Also they should have all known that trying to hit and hold that “eeze” vowel as the power note was going to be challenging for anyone.

Well, we all blow a few here and there. She’ll be looking for redemption. Here’s hoping she earns it.

Looks like you guys are also talking about “Strut” .
I am kind of lazing around feeling moony going over the vids.
Still am very grateful and excited for any Adam news.

You know what’s funny about this? I can TOTALLY see Adam taking this, and twisting it, and turning it into a rock anthem.
And he’d come up with a better video, too.

That’s true Aloha but didn’t the article say Kara and Adam wrote it? So I think it’s new but I am so excited thinking about him saying its sexy. I can see bb struting like a sexy beast on the video. My heart is fluttering.

Wow .. Sheena Easton’s a blast from the past …lol

The UK’s original “reality show” pop star. I can certainly see Adam doing a sog with the title “Strut”

I love the mention of T-Rex and Depeche Mode when talking about Adam’s influences or for the sound of his album .. but I still haven’t a clue what kind of thing to expect .. I’m just going to wait for the surprise .. and hopefully it’s a good one.

About Kris mentioning coming to London, could be for recording purposes . but I also wondered if an appearance on this year’s X factor live shows is on the cards. We’re still seeing the auditions at the moment but the live shows are due to start not to far away and depending on what the plans are for Kris’s album along the lines of a UK release then a spot on one of the X factor results shows could be on the cards (as an Adam fan I have my fingers crossed for him to make an appearance but I think I’m probably pissing in the wind with that one ..lol).

Speaking of the X factor .. my favourite auditionee so far, Jamie Archer (Afro) has an EP available on Amazon and this is one of the tracks. I really like his recording voice .. plus he’s different from the usual manufactured pop and female diva type of voices that usually win the X factor.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXXRl8IjDSs

oh and if we’re talking British football … I’ll keep quiet as I’m a Newcastle United fan and we’re not even in the Premiership, plus we now have a change strip that resembles a lemon cheesecake. (although we are top of our league at the moment .. howay the lads!!! …lol)

In the studio w/friends getting down. @mrtalkbox on PYT wrecking house-follow him he’s good people & part of my band http://bbltwt.com/ufdco

That’s fast – when did Danny manage to get a band together? And yeah about the studio – he did mention that his new label is expecting him to lay down 5 songs this month…

Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary fame died today. Maybe I’m showing my age, but Leaving On A Jet Plane holds such memories for me. She’s left on her plane…Godspeed, Mary.

I thought the same thing. Geez, what a corny, campy, funny show!

Geez, what a corny, campy, funny show!

It is living up to the hype, that’s for sure. It’s so OTT and campy it doesn’t even try to pretend to be portraying a real school.

Doesn’t the teacher (I can’t ever remember anyone’s name) remind you of Justin Timberlake? I loved it when the lead girl told the football hero that he feels something for her, he just doesn’t have the balls to admit it. WIN! How many times in high school and college did I want to say that to a guy? Too many to count.

Adam & his friends must really crack up when watching Kurt. I suspect it could be an OTT version of Adam’s high school years.

ad libbing here…”My father took my baby away when he found my collection of tiaras.”

Yes Glee is amazing and OTT. Oh and the Mercedes number was awesome.

I have a ton of fun watching Glee and I give the producers credit for actually casting a gay actor, Christopher Paul “Chris” Colfer as Kurt Hummel.

But all of my gay friends are in love with Cory Monteith who plays Finn Hudson (the tall quaterback/singer).

ad libbing here’ ¦’ My father took my baby away when he found my collection of tiaras.’ 

Also ad libbing but may I add “My father took my baby (refering to his car) away when he found my collection of tiaras in my hope chest.”

Anyone know where Adam was today? I saw two tweets, one claiming Adam was at some event where President Obama was in Washington DC, while a separae tweet claimed to see Adam entering a party with Lady Gaga.

Don’t know Kris was today either…somewhere the weather was good, I guess, since he tweeted urging everyone to go outside for an hour (which rules out him going back to Arkansas since people tweeted him saying it was pouring there)

At least it appears both guys had a day off, which is nice…

I didn’t get Danny’s bubbletweet at all. He’s supposed to be recording country songs, yet his bubbletweet showed someone doing a dance remix of his version of PYT. Huh?

WASHINGTON ‘” President Barack Obama, trying to calm critics and rally allies on his top domestic priority, told a Hispanic gathering on Wednesday that no one in the United States illegally would receive benefits under plans for a health care overhaul.

Speaking to a black-tie gala for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, the president also promised action on immigration, although he left unspoken a timeline. During a star-studded night that included Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, he also reminded the caucus that he successfully nominated Justice Sonia Sotomayor as the nation’s first Latina member of the Supreme Court.

RIP Mary. I loved Peter Paul & Mary once upon a time. Their greatest hits cd is still worthy. They covered a lot of Dylan songs and other folk songs. Their version of “Blowing in the Wind” made the song famous.

wiki:
“Blowin’ in the Wind” has been covered by hundreds of artists. The most commercially successful version is by folk music trio Peter, Paul and Mary, who released the song in June 1963, three weeks after The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan was issued. The trio’s version, which was used as the title track of their third album, peaked at #2 on the Billboard charts.
