Idol Headlines for 10/31/09

I’ve discovered that I might be able to see a stream of XFactor live, so I may end up doing that and sharing in that, or at least the real time blogging of it. That show is so epically bad, it’s awesome and yet tedious. I don’t know how it’s all of those things, but I swear it is. Plus I have the ongoing lulz machines that are John and Edward to look forward to, well as much as I can see them through peering through my fingers. They are so facepalm, and yet they’re sailing through the competition thus far. Sanjaya squared! continue to roll on. I continue to horrified and yet fascinated.

HA.. Adam already got some spin .. 12 HAC & 17 POP.. is it impressive IDK and the truth is I don’t really care.. I’m just so happy that some big radio stations already playing his FYE… woo hooo.. What a good thing to start this week end.. & really big grin

Adam is getting radio play from the following Stations! Some of them are huge stations that have a lot of influence!

102.7 KISS FM Los Angeles
95.5 WPLJ in New York
Hot99.5 – Washington DC
STAR 94.1 ‘“ Atlanta
Mix 102.9 – Dallas

Kris on Conan Friday Nov 13.

OMG how scary for Ryan! I’m so glad they caught the guy.

ETA: Eileen99: “Kris on Conan Friday Nov 13.”
YAY!!!!

Concert review…

Opener David Archuleta’s winsome voice worked well on his opening song, the piano-driven pop of “Touch My Hand,” and the grand “Don’t Let Go.” In general, the American Idol runner-up fared better with the steady palette of romantic ’80s-pop styles with modern R&B-influenced beats, rather than the stylistic ranges that “Idol” makes contestants cover.

Nice touches included the a cappella ending of “My Hands,” with backing vocals from his band, as well as a vocal-and-piano-only cover of “Apologize,” his trademark “Idol” song. It got a little slow before the dance thumper “Zero Gravity” came along. And of course, the closer was the arena ballad “Crush.”

The Providence Journal

Yay! The headlines thread is here. By bullet items…

- Ryan’s stalker. Glad they arrested the guy. Hope they are actually able to put him back in jail. That had to have been nerve wracking for Ryan.

-Allison Iraheta – OK so I see that someone posted in yesterday’s headlines thread that Allison’s single will be release (again) on Nov 3. Did we ever find out what happened?? Why did they pull it? Is the single coming out on the 3rd the same song?

-Mediabase Question – I can’t figure this chart out cause the numbers they just don’t add up. can someone please explain. Here’s the quick cut info link for Kris’s song:
http://www.mmr247.com/mmrweb/Reports/Reg/EMD.asp?SOngID=1687846&NumDays=1

According to this it’s had a total of 4654 spins. My question is where did this number come from. The song came out on Sept 25th so the first two weeks of data are missing. But according to this in the last four weeks total spins are (239+255+248+248) for a total of 990. That would mean there would have to have been 3664 (4654-990) spins in the first two weeks which makes absolutely no sense. Did it really get that much more radio play during the first two weeks and then have everyone drop it?

Kris on Conan Friday Nov 13.

Oh man!! I was hoping my timing was ON, but this is actually the next best thing. I have tickets for that night and I was crap-shooting for Adam. I did come close though!!! Whoo hoo!! And I do love Kris.

Adamland and anthro, we’re seeing Kris girlies!!

nvm

Jms- Your link is incorrect. It’s only showing 1 days worth of spins for the past month. Change the ’1′ at the end to a ’7′ and you should see the full number.

http://www.mmr247.com/mmrweb/Reports/Reg/EMD.asp?SOngID=1687846&NumDays=7

It won’t completely solve your problem; LLWD is reciving a significant amount of spins in the Christian Contemporary format and while those spins do count for the song’s total, there is no weekly breakdown available. The next best thing is looking at the Billboard chart for National Christian Music where LLWD debuted at #50 with a little over 200 spins.

Also Kris had decent audience impressions his first week when a bunch of stations gave it novelty “hey, remember the American Idol?” spins. However, not all of those stations picked it up right away and next week there was a decline in A.I. I have a feeling that it might be the same thing with Adam. Probably on a smaller extent because I heard FYE is impacting radio right away, next Tuesday which is pretty fast. Usually songs have a week or more before going for adds so I’m guessing RCA may have secured some stations or they just feel very confident that Adam’s name alone will do the heavy lifting early on.

Kris on Conan Friday Nov 13.

Can’t wait to see them together. I think Conan is like 6’4″ and Kris is very much not. Plus Conan is a funny guy and that should facilitate Kris’s dry sense of humor so that should be good times. Plus, yay! Kris will be on Conan. Less yay, performing LLWD (yaawwnn) but yay for exposure for Kris!

Thank you! That makes much more sense.

Kris on Conan Friday Nov 13.

Bout time. Conan’s show was the one he had to miss because he wasn’t well or was it a death in his family? Can’t remember. But Allison filled in and did very well. Of course, this time Conan has the Tonight Show, so having that earlier time slot is nice.

I’ve discovered that I might be able to see a stream of XFactor live, so I may end up doing that and sharing in that, or at least the real time blogging of it.

They are so facepalm, and yet they’re sailing through the competition thus far. Sanjaya squared! continue to roll on. I continue to horrified and yet fascinated.

Of course, the X-Factor isn’t always so bad (it’s so “good”) but I wonder why it is this time. I do get the impression it hasn’t been building in credibility, like AI … although AI took a step backward with all the changes last season and the judge’s interventions. Lesson to learn Cowell.

The song got overshadowed last week in the Rihanna/Gaga onslaught and, to a lesser extent, the Timbaland/Shakira singles. They may have moved the date back to give it a better chance. Next week besides Mariah and Daughtry there aren’t many big names that will dominate the adds next week.

Yay here too! I remember when Kris was standing next to the NBA players – very funny pics – so obviously he could care less about the height difference. I’m very excited he will be getting TV exposure on this show.

Source for the Conan info – should have posted it above but too late.
It’s from his bass player’s website:

http://www.christorresmusic.com/p_shows.php?page_type=shows&CID=2

Michael Sarver performed one of his original songs earlier this week and said he’ll be putting a recording of it as a single through Dream Records, tied to the Dream Center in LA. (Sounds like the ‘huge news’ he was predicting about a country album may have gone off the rails?)

A youtube is up now at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHFd5SbWonQ

Happy Glamoween Everybody!
http://masterclasslady.com/2009/10/30/happy-glamoween-everybody/

… His eccentric and campy persona, coupled with his sublime, innovative vocal talent, has allowed him to emerge as a singular, distinctive and iconic artist.

And, as Adam loves to play ‘dress-up’  when he sings, he is the perfect mascot for Halloween 2009.
…

The title track is a great song and a smart pick for the first single. The song is radio-friendly and extremely commercial. Yet, as Adam himself promised, the recording is electro-pop, reminiscent of the disco era but with a copious twist of synthesized sound , thus creating an unusual, throughly entertaining, toe-tapping ambience.

The CD promises to be an eclectic mix of music and I am thoroughly happy to be sharing this bit of news with you. A singer who can deliver all the goods from any genre is finally making a mark in the entertainment world. This is enormous cause for celebration!

Great LA Times article. The writer totally gets Adam. Love that.

Probably on a smaller extent because I heard FYE is impacting radio right away, next Tuesday which is pretty fast.

By this do you mean they’re putting it on for radio adds on Tuesday? Because it already got 33 spins yesterday. 4 of which were on an unidentified format. Dance maybe? These charts are so confuzzling. Everyone really needs to use the same format/reporting methods for my convenience.

I’m starting to worry for Allison’s single since it’s being re-released the same day that Adam’s comes out on itunes/amazon. If Adam’s is going for radio adds first and so soon before hers, won’t she have more of a problem getting initial spins?

cilady, you are a font of information. Just finished typing and saw you responded to my Allison question. I’m guessing even though they are both AI alumni, it’s easier to compete for test spins against each other than against the Rihanna/Gaga power houses.

Just think, next year I’ll be a veteran at this and will actually have some understanding as to the label decisions. Or not.

I wish Michael Sarver well but I just don’t think he has the goods. (Boy the song is wordy). Hopefully, he can do well enough to get some club gigs and make a few bucks off of CD sales. But I don’t think, as of yet, that it will be easy for him to break into the country music scene…there are some really fine voices dominating there right now.

Kris on Conan Friday Nov 13.

Yay! looking for him to perform on the big shows. And Conan’s very funny so this + Kris humor = s/b good times

whoa. I didn’t get much more than a minute into Michael’s song. Those lyrics were atrocious. And was there a melody or any music at all? I was too busy watching the train wreck to notice. He should just write a letter. I feel kind of vicious for saying that but we’re talking really bad here. Somebody close to him needs to let him know that he needs to work on his song writing skills and musical sensibility before showing them in public like this.

I thought Michael’s song was pretty, but agree the lyrics need help especially after the beginning. The one line about “kerosene” made me giggle. Hope he does well, though, he seems like a good guy.

Dream Records is pretty new, I don’t know much about them but what I did read was more with Christian artists than country. I can better understand the idea of releasing his song through them after listening to it. This song could be taken as suitable for CCM as well as country.
And he has a personal affiliation with the Dream Center from volunteering there during AI, so that would make sense he could try partnering with them if his other route has fallen through.

I had the wrong information but it’s too late to edit my post.

Daughtry’s single goes for adds the 10th. And I forgot about Taylor Swift. So Mariah and Taylor are the only big artists impacting radio next week. I guess Jay Sean can be considered big since his last single went #1.

The one line about ‘kerosene’  made me giggle.

I was watching thinking OMG this is bad. Then the kerosene line came and that’s when I clicked stop. No way could this do well in country. There is a lot of really good country music out there. No way could this compete. And while I don’t listen to CCM, they’d have to have a real dearth of decent song writers for this to be embraced.

Of course, the X-Factor isn’t always so bad (it’s so ‘good’ ) but I wonder why it is this time. I do get the impression it hasn’t been building in credibility, like AI ‘ ¦ although AI took a step backward with all the changes last season and the judge’s interventions. Lesson to learn Cowell.

I agree that XFactor isn’t usually so bad it’s good, this is just an unusually weak year. Though I don’t think that AI took a step back with credibility this year per se, though certainly not from lack of trying, because at least there was some actual talent last season on AI who shone through. Problem with XFactor as I see it, there isn’t any real talent this year, much less people good enough to save it from the show’s issues.

Oh man! I really wanted to like Michael Sarver’s song….I almost couldn’t listen all the way through.

Where do you hear Michael’s song???

Melodically I thought Michael’s song was pretty, though it didn’t blow me away and the lyrics started distracting me midway through. Michael has a decent voice and certainly a ton of sincerity. More power to him for trying to find his place.
I can see from this song though why he hasn’t broken through as a songwriter despite the 900 songs. Probably needs a cowriter to either do the lyrics, or at least help him edit them to avoid the giggly/over-saccharine moments.

snlw, see above where I posted a youtube link I’d seen someone mentioning at another site

Kerosine, huh? This is how to write a song about volatile liquids.

Thanks steph6449!

Problem with XFactor as I see it, there isn’t any real talent this year, much less people good enough to save it from the show’s issues.

Yep. They’ve embraced good back stories to the exclusion of talent. At least on AI they appear to be trying to get at least some people with both back story and talent. Still, not as much talent is getting through as it should.

I think AI would be waaay better off if they screened up to the top 36 on talent alone (or whatever number they’re going to start letting us vote at). That’s enough people that there will automatically be some drama they could film and some great back stories or personalities among them. If we end up with a whole season of theatre people, so be it — I bet they’d be hilarious to watch together. If they’re anything like my theatre friends, there could be hilarious commentary sections added to explain the social interactions of theater geeks.

IDOLLILROUNDS: Good Morning tweeters…..I have some exciting news and if all goes well I may have a new single and album out by the beginning of nxt year!

for any Lil fans

I saw that tweet and was excited until I got to the “beginning of next year” part. If she hasn’t signed yet and is expecting to get something out in January/February then just like Kris’s, Adam’s and Allison’s CDs, it’ll be a rush job. I understand the need to get something out before your name is forgotten, but I think Lil would be better served to spend a good 6 months on the process and put a better product out in the May/June time frame. She’ll already have missed the before Christmas and the before the new AI season dates. She’s got a really good voice and with the time to pick the right songs and get some decent coaching she could do really well.

Don’t know how reliable the source is. According to the following site, FYE will be added next Tuesday. Daughtry, Mariah Carey, Mika, Orianthi (is she MJ’s guitarist?) and Taylor Swift have songs added the same day.

http://www.fmqb.com/article.asp?id=16691

11/3 Mainstream

Adam Lambert “For Your Entertainment” (RCA)
Daughtry “Life After You” (RCA/RMG)
Jada “Break Up Song” (Universal Motown)
Mariah Carey “H.A.T.E. U” (Island/IDJMG)
Mika “Blame It On The Girls” (Universal Republic)
Orianthi “According To You” (Geffen/TAL/19)
Taylor Swift “Fifteen” (Big Machine/Universal Republic)

Just think, next year I’ll be a veteran at this and will actually have some understanding as to the label decisions. Or not.

jms, you’ll understand the charts better, but I don’t think anyone other than the label execs understands their decisions!

Kris’ studio version of Heartless got an honest to goodness alt spin today! My husband heard it this AM on 102.7 WEQX, a tiny little independent station in the Vermont/Albany, NY area. I don’t think they’ll keep playing him, but it is a cool sign of respect, because they are very purist about their alt. I’ve never been able to get them to play David Cook (I tried with Bar-Ba-Sol), even though they are big AI fans. We actually sat across the aisle from the program director at this year’ AI concert.

Huh, according to this Allison’s single was officially added for radio air play on Oct 26. How can that be when it hasn’t been released yet? Are the radio stations even able to get a copy of it to play at this point? Were they gifted copies long ago when it was first released that they’ll now have to find?

Good for Michael and Lil for having some things going on for them. I wish them both well.

Yay for Lil!!! I wish her nothing but success for her and her family!

Yeah. This too. I’m going to get some caffeine so I can be happier for these peeps and less analytical.

FMQB is accurate but those aren’t “release” dates—their adds dates.
All of these singles were released to radio (likely digitally) the day that they were introduced, so that radio could play them at that time, regardless of when the itunes release date is and regardless of the official adds date. For songs that are on a previously released CD, stations have access from the time that the CD is released.

Oh that’s really cool!!

Did anyone mention that David Cook will be on Regis & Kelly, taping in late November? If this was discussed yesterday, I apologize as I wasn’t around a computer most of the day.

They released the song to the radio stations early. It’s common practice.

We all flailed over it for a while yesterday, but I’d be happy to flail some more!

Maybe by “early next year,” Lil means May or something. Elliott was working on songs all through the AI tour, and he still didn’t get an album out till March. If Lil wasn’t working during the tour (and I think she wasn’t) I don’t see how she can turn it around that quickly. But I suppose we’ll see. If she’s doing an album of Motown standards or something where songs and arrangements are already done, anything is possible.

Daughtry’s song is listed under 11/10, different from FMQB’s 11/3. Which is the right day?

Did anyone mention that David Cook will be on Regis & Kelly, taping in late November? If this was discussed yesterday, I apologize as I wasn’t around a computer most of the day.

The question is: is he just a fave of Regis and Kelly’s, like he is of Carrie’s, or does he actually have something to promote? I hope the latter, although the former’s nice too.

Lil didn’t do anything for me on the AI season (at all), but she came across as really fun in interviews and I did enjoy her singing in the group numbers especially when I went to the tour show. I hope she finds some niche. I wonder if maybe she’d be better in a group act though than as a solo-ist, or perhaps as a tv personality somewhere.
I saw somewhere recently she just had her birthday, and is now 25? They made her seem way older on the show.

CathyMK, it’s good to hear that WEQX is still doing the alt thing after all these years. I listened to them about 20 years ago, when I went to college in the NW corner of Massachusetts.

Daughtry’s song is listed under 11/10, different from FMQB’s 11/3. Which is the right day?

Welcome to the mysteries of chart-watching. Adds dates seem to be very fluid, as the labels watch the artists going for adds on each date and try to find the best date for a given song, when it won’t be overwhelmed by bigger artists (as happened to Allison this week) but is still within the time frame that they’re looking for. So, the dates change all the time, and AllAccess and FMBQ don’t always agree. I have no idea how to tell who’s right, other than to see what happens on those days. Maybe FolkFan or LadyMadonna can explain it better?

All Access is the more legitimate source, they’ve never been wrong (while FMQB has been wrong many times in the past). I’d go with whatever they say. Which means that Jive isn’t planning on trying again with Allison’s single any time soon. But that could always change.

Generally, I would lean toward FMQB as more likely to be correct on adds dates, but it could be either. There used to be a site associated with Nielsen/Billboard called Radio & Records that was better than both FMQB and All Access on adds stuff, but Billboard killed that site last year.

I’m a bit surprised that the adds date for Adam is so early—most songs get a couple of weeks of growth before the adds date, even a song like Kelly’s My Suck… that showed signs of being a blockbuster from the get-go. But maybe they’re hoping to juice the adds early, to make up for the relative lack of time before his album comes out.

They’re trying again with Jason’s LJFiLA on the 10th.

I gather from this that this is the second time they’ve listed it for a radio add date and it didn’t take the first time? I’m thinking that they made the video and tried to get some movement via internet and word of mouth before trying again? BTW – It’s a wonderful, happy feel good MV that totally fits the song if you haven’t already seen it.

Which means that Jive isn’t planning on trying again with Allison’s single any time soon. But that could always change.

I didn’t even notice FIBOU was added this week. It’s like throwing a coin in a dead water – not a tiny ripple of reflection…

that showed signs of being a blockbuster from the get-go. But maybe they’re hoping to juice the adds early, to make up for the relative lack of time before his album comes out.

I tend to believe the later. They may also hope to expose FYE enough before the AMA performance.

Hahaha Kris just twitted:

KrisAllen4Real Y’all think it would be cool if I trick or treated tonight? If I don’t then I’m probably just gonna steal the candy from innocent kids.

They may also hope to expose FYE enough before the AMA performance.

I was thinking they wanted to take the most advantage of the fan purchase bounce. With luck, fans should put FYE in the top 20 downloads the first week. If they get enough spins, they might be able to avoid a really big drop off the following week which sure would look better.

I’d love to have been a fly on the wall for the label strategy was here. I’d have held off on both adds and sales to 11/10, to get some more airplay built up before adds and to get a full week of sales from AL fans who are eager for the song (along with people who would have heard the song on the radio). But it just may be that they decided that, given how crowded things are right now with releases, plus the need to get things moving with the CD coming out in less than four weeks, they needed to push the adds date earlier.

I’ve discovered that I might be able to see a stream of XFactor live, so I may end up doing that and sharing in that, or at least the real time blogging of it.

If folks want to blog about xFactor in real time, I’ll put a post up. I have no idea when it comes on TV in the ET time zone, however…

I don’t know when it comes on either. I just have it open in window, go check it afternoonish and go from there. And only for myself, but I would just blog over there because there are a lot more people watching it and plus they have acknowledged John and Edward as their Overlords, so can’t go wrong with that. Because I for one welcome our Twin Overlords of Bad Singing and Epic Lulz.

That’s too bad…I’m not even a Jason fan but I thought LJFILA was probably the most unique and refreshing of all the idol debut singles released in the past two years. I naively assumed it would do well on the radio even without the buzz.

Since it is Halloween and the Idols are twitting about it, here’s an appropriate link:

HPeen !!!!

Is there a connection between the Dream Center/Dream Records producing Sarver’s song and the outfit that Gokey’s recently been connected to? For some reason, I’m sensing a common thread here. Yes? No?

I didn’t think his song was horrible, but definitely not my cuppa. Sort of monotonous, and well, limited. But it didn’t suck imo.

Too often, though, radio isn’t looking for unique and refreshing. They’re looking for “fits into this box.” That’s also why so much of the recorded output these days sounds processed—processing is in, so artists/labels/etc. are adding more processing.

From this evidence, it appears that Michael Sarver is not a great songwriter. But I still continue to believe he is A+ country star material. Excellent voice. Country star handsome. Great backstory.

Got a little Hal Ketchum old school going on there, too.

(And, btw, that link demos the MySpace iLike download shop/display pop-up they have via Google now. The Murdoch MySpace relaunch/iTunes monopoly assault continues)

And isn’t the Dream Center/Dream Records on that video the Danny Gokey Christian place in LA?

That’s too bad’ ¦I’m not even a Jason fan but I thought LJFILA was probably the most unique and refreshing of all the idol debut singles released in the past two years. I naively assumed it would do well on the radio even without the buzz.

I love the tune but when I first heard it my first thought was “Uh-oh” because it has the same feel as Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours” and I don’t see there being room for more than one song like this at a time on the charts. And people need time for the first song to be not so fresh anymore before they’d be ready to embrace another. For Jason’s sake I hope I’m wrong.

But I still continue to believe he is A+ country star material. Excellent voice. Country star handsome. Great backstory.

Absolutely. I think Michael Sarver can have a career in country just for the asking, if he wants one. I even think he could do Traditional Country and have some cred there too; he wouldn’t have to be confined to “New Country”.

And he proved to be an effective unofficial ambassador for the AI summer concert tour, and went out of his way to accomodate fans. His likeable personality doesn’t hurt either.

Going to demo this more prominently. Because it’s pretty big music news.

Google, MySpace, iLike & LaLa have joined to create an iTunes alternative. It also serves the repositioning of the user ebbing MySpace, as they like to say in their PR release, “back to its music roots”.

And now it’s gone active. When you Google search certain participating artists the first results at the top of the page are a picture of the singer and a stack of links to some of their songs.

Click on any of those links and a very well functioning MySpace player pops up in a little window. You can click to hear. And click to buy.

Here are some examples:

Kelly Clarkson

Too often, though, radio isn’t looking for unique and refreshing. They’re looking for ‘fits into this box.’  That’s also why so much of the recorded output these days sounds processed’”processing is in, so artists/labels/etc. are adding more processing.

Radio needs to knock that shizz off. They only seem to jump on unique and refreshing after it’s gone viral online or hit it big in Europe. Le sigh.

^^Interesting. I love LaLa, but only discovered it very recently. Still great to listen before buying.

Is there a connection between the Dream Center/Dream Records producing Sarver’s song and the outfit that Gokey’s recently been connected to? For some reason, I’m sensing a common thread here. Yes? No?

Danny and Michael both volunteered with a homeless shelter (?) program according to the AI blogger who used to be with the LA Times. Appears it was probably with the Dream Center, although neither Danny nor Michael have ever spoken about that publicly to my knowledge. In terms of common charitable interests, Danny also just appeared at the dedication of a Sophia’s Heart Youth Center with the LA Dream Center. mj posted an article here about that (still in her right-side list of articles today), and there were several other articles, photos, and tweets about it appearing in different media. Here’s one. http://www.christiancinema.com/catalog/newsdesk_info.php?newsdesk_id=1185&src=rss

Danny seems to be good friends with some people from the Dream Center including Matthew Bennett. Danny has no professional connection to Dream Records however, to my knowledge. He’s signed with RCA Nashville and working all his music direction through that.

Michael seems to be connecting up with Dream Records as an outlet for his music after (my impression) the deal he thought he had in the works for a country album didn’t come together.

the most unique and refreshing of all the idol debut singles released in the past two years.

You like unique and refreshing, I like unique and refreshing, lots of us like unique and refreshing. …. The absolute last thing that radio wants is unique and refreshing ….. Radio is the most conservative medium there is — they try to hit the lowest common denominator and they only really really really slowly switch styles. Heck, they hardly ever even switch *songs*! Just play the same thing over and over, once they find something is “proven.” Even the major labels sometimes complain about this — it’s hard even to get a new song played. And if you want them to play a new *kind* of song? Ain’t gonna happen. Too bad, but there it is. That said, I would think that Jason’s it factor may help him somewhat. Hope it does.

Adam has just set the kradam community in a frenzy!

I love the tune but when I first heard it my first thought was ‘Uh-oh’  because it has the same feel as Jason Mraz’s ‘I’m Yours’ 

“I’m yours” came out over a year ago so I think it’s time for people to move on… plus I don’t think they sound that similar, especially when I think of how many songs sound the same on top 40 (e.g. Halo/Already Gone). I think people’s like, dislike or familiarity of a particular genre significantly determines whether they think certain songs sound the same…Anyway, perception is what counts in this business, so your point still stands.

Too often, though, radio isn’t looking for unique and refreshing. They’re looking for ‘fits into this box.’  That’s also why so much of the recorded output these days sounds processed’”processing is in, so artists/labels/etc. are adding more processing.

You’re probably spot on. I think that trend is getting worse lately and it doesn’t help that idol TPTB try too hard to force winners and runner ups into that box. Castro’s song was very catchy so for some reason I thought it would have worked, despite the obstacles. Maybe 2nd time around.

Oh about XFactor, it’s rock week, and a list of the song here For those about to…we salute you Lucie’s song choice has the most chance I think of being interesting. Jamie’s choice is completely predictable, Danyl’s is treacly. If Rachel can keep up her performance and singing level from last week, I think her song choice can work for her, and this one (-hee) song I won’t unfavourably compare Adam to their version. Olly an Joe’s choices sound like they might be trainwrecks, and not in good ways. And of course John and Edward’s is chosen now it seems for maximum lulzage. Which makes it less fun. pffft.

Whoa. Rachael is singing One?? what happened? U2 suddenly feeling generous and letting all these peeps sing their songs. I thought Simon had to get special permission for Adam to sing it. Maybe that special permission consisted of a boat load of money and an agreement to let them use the song regularly on X-factor.

So Adam has sent the Kradam fans into a frenzy, while Kris is threatening to steal candy from innocent little kiddies…yup, Happy Halloween, everybody! These boys know how to capture interest with their tweets…

It’s a play on words. Check urbandictionary.com for definition of peen

I’m not that jaded either, but I do think that radio tends to grab hold of a trend and play it into the ground. The hope if you are a unique artist is that you pop up and hit at the right moment, when TPTB at radio are bored or looking for something new to spice up their playlists. But they will only play so much of the unique stuff, particularly on Top 40.

That’s one reason why I must admit that I feel a bit surprised when I see Idol fans complain that a given contestant’s first single is kind of generic. These are kids without a proven radio track record, trying to break into an industry that likes established stars and established genres. The hope is that the contestant’s single gets enough airplay that radio says, hey, that artist’s music works in our playlist and our listeners seem to like it. And then will be open to what the contestant offers next. The fact that the label often says, hmm, let’s pick something that fits within a neatly labeled box just doesn’t seem very surprising.

I guess I’m slow but what does HPeens stand for (or should I even ask?)

You of all people definitely don’t want to know.

The word “peen” is part of the head of a hammer, as for example in a ball-peen hammer. But it has too common slang meanings:

1. Penis

2. e-peen (online): internet slang for ego, pride, or attitude in the virtual world. long standing net definition for the age old “bigger penis” arguement. (this def from Urban Dictionary)

My guess is that Adam meant def #1 —

The discussion about these tweets has caused so online sites to crash!

Looks like it was the amazing combination of Kris tweeting “Ween” and Adam responding “Peen” that did it. I am pretty sure Kris was just trying to abbreviate Halloween and didn’t know def #7. And I am equally sure Adam know def #7 when he replied. LMAO!!

Kris Tweeted that he ate like 14 plums at once, and that was a mistake. He also likes to talk about in interviews and in some Tweets about peeing. So that’s his issue, for me at least because yeah, TMI dude.

Scott is the one that Tweets constantly about food.

Q3, I’m pretty sure Kris knows the #7 Urban Dictionary definition of Ween. He knew exactly what he was doing with that tweet.

There are over 850,000 references on Google to H-Ween = Halloween. I think that is what Kris meant.

And Def #7 doesn’t make any sense — who did he want to push out of the way?

From urban dictionary – ween definition #7:

to rub your dick against another man to make him move or get out of your way
i weened charlie so he would get out of the lunch line

Def #7 was quoted all over the web as a joke.

Def #7 has a negative vote on Urban Dictionary because it is not what people usually mean when they use the word ween. The winner by far is the band “Ween” — and I really doubt Kris was tweeting about a li-hi, drug use promoting, hard-core, alt punk band.

“Peen” on the other hand has one and only one slang meaning.

Kris Tweeted that he ate like 14 plums at once, and that was a mistake. He also likes to talk about in interviews and in some Tweets about peeing. So that’s his issue, for me at least because yeah, TMI dude.

Scott is the one that Tweets constantly about food.

Ahh. I see.

But I forgot that Kris does like to Tweet, and talk, a lot about Chick A Fil. Which I guess they gave him some stuffed animal saying thank you. Which okay, but he deseres an endorsement deal with the kind of pimping he gives them.

Well, Chick-Fil-A is mad awesome, so if I was going to talk about food I might mention that too. And bemoan the lack of it in my area.

(deleted)

Geminidolly-His album cover really DOES look like Dave Navarro! lol!

I love the responses he got. One from : #TEAMLITTLEDOTSOFHAIR

the most unique and refreshing of all the idol debut singles released in the past two years.

To my ears the song was no more unique than a Jonas Brothers song. Plus it had that annoying whistle. Jason’s problem is he is not a standout, amazing songwriter and not unique enough as a performer that he stands out among the “singer/songwriter” crowd. Dreads alone don’t make you unique. Having blue eyes and being “cutesy stoner” doesn’t get him radio play. Atlantic might be able to push this enough to eventually make it a minor hit but I don’t see him leaving C or D list status anytime soon.

Niall- He should have left out the whistle and the overproduction of the song. When he sang it a week or so ago live ( MJ had a video posted here) it was absolutely beautiful, but it still neds to lose the whistle.

Jason Castro is more than a cute little stoner. I happen to thnk his voice is much more distinctive and soothing than the winner this year.

That partial list of collaborators is the one that I posted here (based on the B&N track list, MJ’s earlier list of possible album tracks, plus Rolling Stone’s scoop on Lady Gaga).

Somehow, I’m not as thrilled my post was picked up by Perez as that it was picked up by RollingStone (although more people may actually read Perez than the on-line version of Rolling Stone).

I was kind of hoping that Perez had the full list of writers/producers so I could go update my post. Good thing he just ripped MJ’s off so I don’t have to put a link to his site. LOL

While waiting for the stupid game to get called and the next hoard of little monsters (she said affectionately) to ring the doorbell, I peruse the headlines and find:

‘It’s dance music with a glam-rock shuffle beat…

Oh Adam, no. It IS dance music, but I’m sorry, it is far, far, far from being glam rock or any other sort of rock. I also suspect that since for me the song sounds repetitive, boring and exactly like every other dance song on the radio it’s going to be an *enormous* hit.

And eh, I’m okay with that. In the fannish circles I run in, when we come across something that other people adore for reasons that are mysterious and unfathomable, all we do is shrug and say well, okay, but this is not my beautiful cake.

Not my beautiful cake is exactly what Adam is for me. I love his audacity and his sense of humor, don’t like his voice or his choice of music, but I do wish him well. He can succeed and I can find music I do like elsewhere, both at the same time. Awesome!

Speaking of things that are usually not my beautiful cake, I just listened to “Play On” and though I’ve bought a song or two of Carrie’s in the past, I’ve never bought a whole CD. I’m going to buy this one. I like pretty much every song on it. Huh.

As much as I love TFM I find myself humming FYE all the time. This is strange as I am old enough to be Adam’s grandmother and not a great fan of most pop. I can’t wait for it to go on I-Tunes, but I also buy a physical CD or two, feel a need for bonus tracks. I really liked it when Idol still put out records for the singles.

It looks like he has a gossip blog where he gossips about his friends…. yeah odd is right.

Yeah OLP are playing in Kansas City tonight at the Power and Light District and before the show David and Andrew ate with the guys at a restaurant right by there. Yay for stalking!

ACookOfficial Thank you women on halloween that have zero self respect. . . Thank you!

Interesting tweet from Andrew — David Cook’s brother — who accompanied his bro to a “Our Lady Peace” concert. Be careful David. You’re the one with the golden jewels. Or, should I say crown jewels, since you were the American Idol.

anyone see this in the comments on the Perez site- surprisingly, both yesterday and today, the perez site comments have been possitive…

PEREZ, there is also a track called Pick You Up written by Adam, Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo, I f-n love him, & Greg Wells. It’s not a bonus track, but a last minute addition to the regular CD. Also, Madonna’s bassist Monte Pittman made Adam’s band. And Paul McCartney guitaris Bian Ray played the guitars on Gaga’s track Fever.

Someone twttered about TFM at “This is IT” Not sure if it is the MV or not.

angelbabyOOO

holy fuck. at this is it. @adamlambert tfm in surround sound. hellz yezh!

It is cool that Cookie gets to hang with his music heroes now, and that Andrew gets to hang with them (and apparently watch women in scanty Halloween costumes, I’m speculating). But I would say that David has the golden throat. I have too much self-respect to discuss the golden jewels.

I saw the rumor about Adam and Drake on gossip candy:

http://gossipcandy.com/

The guy who tweeted it is evidently already getting some “why did you tweet this?” tweets. He says he did so people won’t think Adam is cheating.

Pretty darn sure it’s Adam’s music as part of the trailer.

UR RUDE! wouldn’t you wanna know rather then assume he was cheating?!?! RT @argeneau you’re a bit of a @*(# for announcing …

IF THIS IS TRUE, I hope Adam knows that hes making it public.

Maybe Adam asked him to do it to get it over with and out there in the media and avoid weeks of speculation. You never know. No need to demonize the guy.

Or this guy could just be thinking that he is doing his friend a favour by sharing it all on his own, and he’s also a moron.

But I would say that David has the golden throat. I have too much self-respect to discuss the golden jewels.

Not me … obviously. Be careful David.

Or this guy could just be thinking that he is doing his friend a favour by sharing it all on his own, and he’s also a moron.

Maybe, but since they’re all going out together tonight I suspect Adam knows and since WE don’t know, it seems wrong to rip at the guy.

Adam Lambert and his boyfriend, interior designer Drake LaBry, are calling it quits, a source close to the couple exclusively tells JustJared.com.

‘The relationship just run its course,’  says the source. ‘The break-up was mutual and amicable. They remain friends and still care for each other.’ 

Adam, who is dressing up tonight as a glammed-out vampire, is celebrating Halloween with singer pal Katy Perry, who is dressing up as the ass of a camel (it’s a two-part costume with actress pal Shannon Woodward).

looks like he was doing Adam a favor-looks like the breakup is public knowledge

Yep, thought he was doing him a favour. Eh. Guess if it was about to hit the gossip interwebz this might be how he, with his gossip blog and all, thought would be a way to do it. Eh. Not sure if I agreee or not. Gossip and the paps and such are weird things.

He says he did so people won’t think Adam is cheating.

Halloween in West Hollywood and on down the Strip is a huge *huge* deal — they close off the boulevard and it’s pretty insane. If that’s where Adam is headed tonight, he *will* get photographed — a lot. So this guy might be onto something.

Or this guy could just be thinking that he is doing his friend a favour by sharing it all on his own, and he’s also a moron.

Or this. Could be either I guess.

ETA: Thanks for the info wellhesback and Trina. Effort-free stalking on my part is the best. *g*

What a surprise! Except, not.

He’s partying with the big boys and girls now. Katy Perry, et. al.! Drake is too small fish for him.

Heh!

What a surprise! Except, not.

He’s partying with the big boys and girls now. Katy Perry, et. al.! Drake is too small fish for him.

Heh!

Except he’s known Katy Perry before he was on AI and famous. And he used to hang with people like Brian Friendman who is on SYTYCD, XFactor. He knew people like Neil Patrick Harris from his Upright Cabaret days.

So yeah, not getting that suddenly Adam isn’t going to want to hang with a small fish. Maybe the small fish couldn’t and didn’t want to handle the fishbowl, which is also valid. Or maybe they just broke up for the reasons all the other non-famous people do every single day. I don’t know why it’s suddenly assumed that Adam dumped Drake because he’s famous now. If Adam cared about that, he could have done that at any time after AI. Maybe they just broke up know, because their relationship ended. I don’t know about your dating, but most people I now, go through a lot of relationships that just don’t work.

Wow…..if this is true who will I pick on for his terrible fashion sense?

Seriously, I’m not going to speculate why Adam’s friend tweeted about it but if it’s true it will be out there soon enough anyhow. Adam has so much going on in his life right now and a high maintenance relationship was maybe something he felt he couldn’t handle any longer. Hope he’s okay.

The urban dictionary def. of ween (#7) is probably what has sent Kradam fans into a frenzy’ ¦.haha

what does ween mean?. cos i’ m wondering how the peen came abt?

LMAO – well, you learn something new everyday that is hilarious. Oh, Adam…

NVM. Sorry to hear about the breakup

Except he’s known Katy Perry before he was on AI and famous. And he used to hang with people like Brian Friendman who is on SYTYCD, XFactor. He knew people like Neil Patrick Harris from his Upright Cabaret days.

Well, hell. What did he need American Idol for if he had all these industry connections? If these super connected stars were such great friends of his, why didn’t they help their very dear friend? Hmm? Get him a gig? Introduce him to industry insiders who clearly love the bejeesus out of him now?!

What a surprise! Except, not.

He’s partying with the big boys and girls now. Katy Perry, et. al.! Drake is too small fish for him.

Heh!

My sense was, not to project too much into their relationship, but Drake seemed awfully needy, and it was only going to get worse in terms of Adam being away so much, busy working and traveling, that I’m sure they’ve hardly gotten to spend any time together. That’s got to put a lot of strain on a relationship, unless someone is really really ok with being away all the time.

o no .what happened? and when did this happen? They were kissing just last week. this sucks. I hate break ups. and Adam has been twatting more than usual like he’s been in a good mood. not like someone who just broke up. cld be rumors.

My sense was … Adam never needed Idol. But, I’ve gotta wonder about all these friends that suddenly are all about him *after* Idol.

Except he’s known Katy Perry before he was on AI and famous. And he used to hang with people like Brian Friendman who is on SYTYCD, XFactor. He knew people like Neil Patrick Harris from his Upright Cabaret days.

So yeah, not getting that suddenly Adam isn’t going to want to hang with a small fish. Maybe the small fish couldn’t and didn’t want to handle the fishbowl, which is also valid.

yeah.. Adam is a Hollywood kid
he knows a lot of famous ppl even before he was famous

Well, hell. What did he need American Idol for if he had all these industry connections? If these super connected stars were such great friends of his, why didn’t they help their very dear friend? Hmm? Get him a gig? Introduce him to industry insiders who clearly love the bejeesus out of him now?!

Because he knew them and did some work with them, in the case of Brian Friedman and Zodiac, or Carmit formerly of the Pussycat Dolls. didn’t mean they were BFFs and even if they were friends (and he was more with some than others), that’s not enough to get you discovered or whatever. Adam was in a band with Madonna’s guitarist and trying to make it with their band, and that wasn’t enough either. The entertainment industry is hard to get into. Eh. So yeah Adam still needed AI to get that platform.

I think Adam has expressed this well. He couldn’t get a record contract. He couldn’t get a record contract unless he already had a following or a fanbase. I can’t imagine record companies jumping at the chance to sign an openly gay singer who had no intentions of hiding who he was. Idol gave him a following and a fanbase. It’s sad, that it took that, but I guess it did.

Is it sad that the thing about this article that I was most interested in was Katy Perry spending the whole night as the ass of a camel?

Then how did all the rest of them do it? The artists that didn’t come out of Idol? Because, you know, most of them don’t. Adam was not only RIGHT THERE, but he had all the right connections! All the right so-called friends! And, by the way, when Katy Perry came on Idol flouncing around in a cape with his name on it, did Idol know she was his friend? Because that seems like a conflict of interest in a competition with mighty big stakes.

Is it sad that the thing about this article that I was most interested in was Katy Perry spending the whole night as the ass of a camel?

How did anyone know the difference?

Is it sad that the thing about this article that I was most interested in was Katy Perry spending the whole night as the ass of a camel?

LOL nope, i’ve been trying to figure out how this is going to work too. i’m hoping for pictures.

Is it sad that the thing about this article that I was most interested in was Katy Perry spending the whole night as the ass of a camel?

That pretty much was the most intriguing part of this discussion for me, lol. I want pictures. I hope it was a sexy ass, as she was smoking hot the other night.

The speculation about why Adam’s famous friends didn’t help him before idol is moot because how do we know it didn’t happen. Not everyone who is talented, or had talented friends make it. Too many different things have to come into play. You know stars aligning and all that jazz. But to somehow make the alleged breakup yet another character flaw of Adam’s is a reach. We can speculate, but we don’t know anything. I won’t speculate because i don’ t care….I have new Adam music pending, all is right with my world.

Maybe the small fish couldn’t and didn’t want to handle the fishbowl

This ^^^
I just think that Adam and Drake are part of two different worlds right now.

The rest of who?? The other openly gay singers that didn’t come out of Idol that are high on the charts now?? Tell me who you’re talking about, I’m curious. Adam was a fricken’ chorus boy in Wicked. He sang demos. He played in a rock band that didn’t get many gigs. He worked his ass off and didn’t have a contract. I have friends that have some pretty powerful jobs, doesn’t mean I’m going to get one because I’m their friend.

As far as the Katy Perry deal, she has said that no one knew that she was going to wear that. That cape probably hurt Adam in the competition more than anything else. I know there were nothing but complaints about it everywhere I read.

LOL nope, i’ve been trying to figure out how this is going to work too. i’m hoping for pictures.

I follow Katy Perry and she said she would post photos.

And, by the way, when Katy Perry came on Idol flouncing around in a cape with his name on it, did Idol know she was his friend? Because that seems like a conflict of interest in a competition with mighty big stakes.

How was it a conflict of interest? She didn’t tell them or Adam that she was going to put Adam’s name on the back of her cape and they had no expectation she would be so nutty. And they were NOT pleased that she did so, which is why on the iTunes they photoshopped the name out.

And Katy was a musical guest, weird cape issue aside (which to my mind didn’t do anything but stir up more resentment against Adam, so super dumb move) what kind of influence would she have? She would have come in, sang, left and no one would have known or cared. And even as it was, no one cared except for resenting Adam more for something out of his control.

I can’t imagine record companies jumping at the chance to sign an openly gay singer who had no intentions of hiding who he was.

Yes, I always figured that this was the big “risk” factor that caused him not to be signed before Idol.

Dial it back people, please.

Repeat after me: It’s a frickin’ karaoke contest, it’s a frickin’ karaoke contest. It’s a frickin’ karaoke contest…

Not that break-ups are good, they aren’t. But they happen all the time and it does seem like an amiable break-up, so there you go. So meanwhile I’m okay if it’s true, because I wasn’t terribly fond of Drake and now I can indugle in wanting to see him with a nice boy. And going to someone’s previous post here, maybe even a nice Jewish boy this time?

mj – You sound just like my husband!!

Hope all the idols had a great Halloween. Can’t wait to see photos tomorrow of all the unique and interesting Halloween costumes!

I am sorry to hear about the breakup but Adam has stated that he wants to be in love and maybe he will find that with someone else. I think Drake will be ok also. Just afew short months ago, we did not even know who he was. I wish them both the best!

I never thought that one day I was going to be knowledgable about the lives of artists. Never did in my teens, even with the artists I loved. And look at me know, interested in reading all about anybody who might have the slightest connection with Adam. I am waiting for Halloween costumes photos, trying to think how is that of a Camel ´s ass, sorry about Adam and Drake breaking up (even though I did not get to like Drake – his tank top), just to mention a few things. And all this while listening non-stop to FYE, at 4 am, and eagerly waiting for the rest of the songs. Is this my life? – Life After Adam. Who could tell me that listening to BR was going to change my life? And not the thousands of times I listened to it before Adam. Well, better hit the sack now.

ETA: but I flove Adam

Dial it back people, please.

Okay…..hmmmpphhhhh, mumble, mumble…..

^^ Very cool. How amazing Cook must have felt! Did he sing or just speak? (It’s hard to tell what’s going on in that pic…)

Via Twitter,

“OLP finishes with Starseed. David Cook joins them as well as The Wizard Of Oz peeps. Hahaha”

Starseed was the song he joined them on one other time at HOB Dallas.

Cool! I hope someone puts up a video.

Is he wearing the jacket from the CBTM video?

CathyMK, Angie (who has taken LOTS of tour videos) was there, so the possibility of video is very high. That was her twitpic, so she has a good view.

ETA: @Angelangiekc2 do have video of @ourladypeace doing Starseed w/ @thedavidcook & Company of Thieves. We’ll see how it turns out. Bateries died JUST at end

Kelly and her band all had costumes on for the encore of tonight show

And Kelly sang a little bit of Halo at the end of Already Gone

It looks like Allison’s single is available for purchase again, this time from from Walmart.

I am so freaking confused. When was this supposed to drop?

ETA: I haven’t tried to buy it because I don’t want to buy it from Walmart, but according to posters elsewhere, it’s a valid link.

Sorry for harshing your Halloween mellow. Do you want some candy (little girl) to make it all better? I didn’t have enough Trick or Treaters tonight, so you can have the rest of mine. It’s the good stuff, Reese peanut butter cups and Nestle Crunches.

This is Phil Marshall talking about David Cook and pre Idol day. Pretty sweet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK9sL-OdOHU

He then sings his great song free.

Funny thing. So many girls want to marry David Archuleta or other stars. My daughter, who is a tiny bit older than him, is very wise and says, “I wouldn’t want to deal with what goes along with being the wife of a star.”

There is a reason so many stars or famous people can’t maintain a longterm relationship. It is such a tough existence to be in a fish bowl.

Halloween in West Hollywood and on down the Strip is a huge *huge* deal ‘” they close off the boulevard and it’s pretty insane. If that’s where Adam is headed tonight, he *will* get photographed ‘” a lot. So this guy might be onto something.

You really think he won’t? I bet he’s there, maybe even in enough makeup so it takes people a while to realize that Adam Lambert’s there. But probably not…I bet ontd_ai will get the pics first. Then promptly lock the post. Whatevs we’ll see them soon enough.

Aww, thanks for the link 123abc456! I love that song.

And the banter is priceless. From it I draw two conclusions: a) David should never, ever be allowed to name a band. Neal and the guys should have figured that out the first time around. And b) looks like Dave’s uh, jewels are now actually on topic. Heh!

Live-stream of Heidi Klume’s Halloween party. A few “stars” walking the red carpet. Perez Hilton so far… but they’ve mentioned a few others are on the way.

Could be an Adam sighting.

ETA: The host just mentioned Katy Perry was supposed to be showing up.

http://www.livestream.com/heidiklum

You really think he won’t?

Huh? Not at all — the point of my post was that he definitely will.

What I was trying to say was that he will probably be photographed tonight with a guy — or guys — who are not the boyfriend (or ex-boyfriend I guess) having a good time and this tweeter was laying cover. When those photos show up, non of the gossip sites will be running an “Adam cheats!” story, it will be an “A newly single Adam steps out on the town!” story.

It’s a novel way to run PR, but it looks like it worked.

Though whoever is getting paid to be Adam’s publicist is going to look way behind the curve — unless the publicist *was* behind it, then you know, good show.

Sheesh. Triangulating the Hollywood game is exhausting.

Aw, I am so happy David Cook got to get up and rock out with OurLadyPeace tonight! So happy for him. What a year 1/2 or so it’s been!!

Here you go. Glampire Adam:
http://twitpic.com/ntk00

Lol. He actually looks kind of awful. I hope it’s just that one pic because he looks hung over/ empty eyed stare-y, and his cheeks are kind of puffy. Or maybe that’s the point? To be scary, not pretty? In that case, cool, please proceed!

I agree Dave should never be allowed to name a band. He is really into adjectives as band names isn’t he? Playing with OLP must really be a “trip” as he likes to call it, for him.

Lol. He actually looks kind of awful. I hope it’s just that one pic because he looks hung over/ empty eyed stare-y, and his cheeks are kind of puffy. Or maybe that’s the point? To be scary, not pretty? In that case, cool, please proceed!

Isn’t that a mask? Looks like something on the neck…. like the edge of a mask. Or is that just me?

Lol. He actually looks kind of awful. I hope it’s just that one pic because he looks hung over/ empty eyed stare-y, and his cheeks are kind of puffy

I think he’s wearing contacts to give his eyes that vampire look. I think the rest is just the angle and makeup.

Mm, you’re right, it IS the makeup. And the expression. I’m liking it more now…

Kay I now officially approve. Very scary Adam. *runs away*

ETA: Wait, I’m coming back now to stare at his awesome spiky jacket.

Huh? Not at all ‘” the point of my post was that he definitely will.

Oh sorry I misunderstood.

I think he has (light) powder on his face, except for around his cheekbones, he made those stand out more (dark powder?). Oh and that coat is from his album cover shoot (as tweeted by the guy that gave us michelin man), I wonder if it was his all along or if he asked if he could keep it cause he liked it xD

No problem boredinschool. My syntax can be convoluted at the best of times, never mind after chowing down on leftover Halloween candy. : )

As for Halloween in Hollywood, I’m looking at a live helicopter shot of the streets right now and insane doesn’t even begin to cover it. I have no idea what David Cook normally did back in the day for Halloween (except that he didn’t go to any haunted houses, that we know) but I bet Adam did his fair share of partying *in* those crowds (as opposed to the exclusive, albeit pap-plagued clubs on either side). That won’t happen again any time soon, I guess, but the trade off isn’t bad. Hollywood party for Adam, singing on stage with OLP for David. Nice.

Same pic but bigger:

I think he looks like total crap. But if the idea is to look scary, than job well done. He does look like an undead person who needs to suck your blood now as he’s getting weaakk.

And no, he doesn’t sparkle in the sun, he sparkles all the time. Maybe he’s born with it? maybe it’s Maybelline.

maybe it’s Maybelline.

Dahling, It’s not Maybelline. It’s MAC.

Check aaaaand check, yup, that would be me. CookMaida is love, she wrote in sparkly glitter pen. Seriously though, all biases aside, Raine and Dave look sound amazing together, don’t they? And I have always dug me some Starseed. Astral projection tunes ftw. MP3 someone, anyone????

Does anyone know for sure whether the Itunes version of FYE will be out Monday or Tuesday?

Thanks to those who posted the David Cook/ OLP pix and vids. Much appreciated!

I’m so annoyed the ugly black rose necklace is back ugh! How cute is it though when he goofs around and kicks Raine? Bet he never envisioned doing that a few years ago.

Today is one year he was on SNL! Woah time flies by.

Update for FYE
Total Spins: 37 (+8)

Pop: 20 (+3)
HAC: 17 (+5)

About SNL, is the rumour that Adam will be on still valid? We haven’t heard about him being booked and it’s getting late, so I am guessing it won’t happen?
