Idol Headlines for 11/05/09

Adam spotting from Gossip Candy

http://gossipcandy.com/2009/11/adam-at-danielle-show/

Danielle is very pretty

Good review for the David Cook Concert but I was there and did not find him pitchy he hit all the notes that I could tell. His rendition of Lie was the best I have seen it. The crowd was completely silent during the acapella and his voice unmiced filled the stadium. It was a great show. He ran into the crowd for the last number and the crowd surged to that side of the venue. I am glad security was around him. It was a great show. I also enjoyed the Script, great band. Standouts for me were Lie, Light On, I Did it For You and Adam. Thanks for posting that review MJ.

This is the best article I’ve read on Adam.

RT @KscopeOnIce: David Archuleta and Katherine McPhee to perform at Kaleidoscope!

Kaleidoscope is a holiday entertainment special with Olympic skating champions and GRAMMY winning music artists coming to DC on 11/16 & airing on FOX on 11/26!

ack no edit… David and Katherine are on the cast page of the site.

This is the best article I’ve read on Adam.

ITA. But Ann Powers has always been the most thoughtful reviewer about Adam and his music. I love that Adam says that music should be fun and then modifies it to say that it can be deep and make you think as well.

Thanks, Squirrely, for bringing over that article. It is excellent.

Nice David Cook article about the upcoming Cook/Script concert in Canada:

http://www.spinearth.tv/report/david-cook-bringing-rock-and-the-script-to-canada

I take it the guy at NBC local didn”t like the video, didn’t like Adam, and didn’t get the memo that Adam wasn’t in the movie. That being said, It would have been interesting to see Adam chasing around saving people, healing wounds, preventing buildings from falling. The video scans to our superhero as he stands and makes that wail, slides that scarf over to reveal the super glittery “A” on his t-shirt.

This is the best article I’ve read on Adam.

I agree. Even was planning on posting the link to it again too here.

Ms. Powers has always been a huge supporter of Adam’s, but I think she was able to use that to get a more intimate look into his inner-workings. He probably felt very comfortable with her and her journalistic skills developed the interview into a great piece of work.

Adam comes off as a very human artist (not rock god) here. Most fawning fans could not have pulled that off.

Wow I’m impressed Katharine still gets such good kicks. Who’s managing her now?

I couldn’t cap this since I was driving but oh hee! Carrie was on WPLJ this morning. Nothing earthshattering, talked about the album, hosting the CMA’s and of course the upcoming special. She talked about the duet again, mentioned again how good she and David sound together and this time said he brings out the rocker in her LOL. Now I don’t really buy that because she’s rocked out on songs before she even met him, but hey I’m all for more rocker!Carrie! More talk about him being her Idol BFF hee. I’m thinking he better buy her dinner or something for the amount of pimpage he’s gotten from her.

Bo Bice, an Alabama native and former ‘American Idol’  contender, can be heard on the soundtrack of a new movie, ‘Noble Things.’ 

It’s about an aspiring country singer who swerves off the road to success and finds himself hitch-hiking home to see his sick father. Bice sings ‘Old Spanish Trail,’  which crops up in a chase scene, according to his publicist.

YAY BO! I love his voice and style and overall being.

Two questions:

1. Who is that on Adam’s shirt? It looks like Magnum P.I., lol
2. Are Dilana and Allison both releasing the same song?

Some of that Ann Power LONG article is fine. But some of it is so silly and OTT, I actually laughed out loud. Especially at the part which says he recruited all those producers/artists to work on his album. And all that stuff about him being a new kind of rocker. Hasn’t she even heard the album. Boy, does she take albums produced in three months by TPTB seriously.

As for the quote, I’ll wait to hear what people who arent on the 19 payroll say about the album. Because Tedder and Cabello are making $ from it.

Video of the AMA producer ‘“ strange man ‘“ Adam is on the phone with him in the beginning.

It’s scary to think of that guy organizing anything. Why did they think it would be a good idea to release these behind the scenes videos? He is so out of it.

Squirrely, thanks for the article. I love it.

Katharine is still like one of those starlets that people think “should” make it. Even though she can’t really sell albums and doesn’t seem to have a more career, her agents must figure she’ll hit eventually.

I think she’s just missing whatever you need to make “it” artist but I admire the perseverance.

this time said he brings out the rocker in her LOL. Now I don’t really buy that because she’s rocked out on songs before she even met him, but hey I’m all for more rocker!Carrie!

I agree. I’m not a country fan, but I’ve ALWAYS loved rocker Carrie, and I prefer her voice on the various rock covers she’s done and her own more rocking songs well before I associated her with DC. And I always got a kick out of all the rock bands she lists as influences/faves. She has such an incredible voice. As a non-country fan, I selfishly always wished she had gone rock haha. Even her BF Mike said in that hockey interview that Carrie can sing everything, and that he likes when she sings rock. C’mon Carrie, you know you wanna cut a rock album, right? Heh.

Larry Klein is on drugs or something. How is HE directing he AMAs? Impressive line-up (18 performers including Adam!) but it’s good he has someone to do the organizational work, b/c he is wacked. Why is there a the refrigerator in the room?!

Video of the AMA producer ‘“ strange man ‘“ Adam is on the phone with him in the beginning.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqWL2gNEspw&feature=player_embedded#at=28

Sounds like a huge show with many of the industry’s biggest singers. I can hardly wait till the show airs.

EPIC FAIL for the idiot from NBC DFW. I want to apologize on behalf of all of us in the NBC Dallas/Ft. Worth area for this guy’s failure! Hey Mister, it is a music video for a movie.

However, his sarcasm regarding Idol etc makes me think he is one of those rock snobs and he wants some hits. Don’t go there. Fair Warning!!! LOL

Two questions:

2. Are Dilana and Allison both releasing the same song?

Yes they are

Trina – that is so cool that Carrie talked about David Cook again!
in return here’s a great pic from Arizona concert

Wow I’m impressed Katharine still gets such good kicks. Who’s managing her now?

She’s also going to be at Macy’s parade.

jpfan- I think you might have missed this part of the article:

He loves his glam, but he admits that in terms of today’s stars, he has more in common with Beyonc than with Chris Daughtry

Squirrely- man that AMA guy loves him some Adam ( as does the rest of the music industry). I might have to actually watch the awards this year- 18 acts? has that ever been done before?

Carrie Underwood has a very good singing voic e and her videos does good job at them…I just find her sweet , bland personality wise and a little stiff while preforming live..The radio I do luv her songs and the camera luvs her..

David and CarrieU thier duet was not good..BTW Daivd was not at fault..Tired hearing of the Daivd and Carrie U friendship a little tiring..Like duh Carriie U was hanging on David Ca bee on honey kind of pathictic..Yeah just because Carriu likes Davids CD did not really translate to mass buying of it..I wonder of her pimpage is not because of friends but the same lable? DC fans I doubt Carrie U will drop haockey player for DAvid if soo her track record with guys not good..

Well David Foster is going to be at the kaleidoscope thing too. lol

I’m a little upset with myself because Libracats from IDF asked me if I wanted to go to Danielle’s show last night, but I was working and wasn’t sure when I’d get home (I wasn’t dressed to go to a concert straight from work — I was wearing a sweatshirt and jeans), so I said no. Then she met Adam!

Oh, FML…

This was my favorite part of the Cook article:

Cook’s band consists of legend-in-the-making lead guitarist/music director Neal Tiemann; multi-talented Andy Skib on guitar/keys/primary backup vocalist, and drummer extraordinaire/back up vocalist Kyle Peek. Rounding out the quintet with tremendous bass guitar and pick flinging skills is Tulsa musician Monty Anderson currently “on loan” from Phil Marshall’s band.

lol on Neal. Too bad out concert didn’t end with A Daily Anthem (that I can remember; maybe it did!), but it was a helluva show.

Are Dilana and Allison both releasing the same song?

For smoky, scratchy, heavy drinker voice Dilana beats Allison by a landslide. I honestly didn’t know Dilana was still on the scene – never heard much about her since Rockstar.

Studio57
2. Are Dilana and Allison both releasing the same song?

Extensive discussion on the matter on earlier Allison’s “Songwriting and Production Credits” tread.
In a nutshell, the answer appears to be yes.

Are Dilana and Allison both releasing the same song?

Yes they are

Okay. Next question. WHY?

BTW- this is a great song. Much better than FIBOU with the grit Allison deserves, but not if another artist also has it on her record. And that artist has almost the exact same style of voice as Allison. This would be the equivalent of Muse releasing Soaked at the same time as Adam. Neither Allison or Dilana deserve that, and I cannot believe Dilana is fine with it.

I didn’t even notice MJ has the article in the headline oops

He loves his glam, but he admits that in terms of today’s stars, he has more in common with Beyonc than with Chris Daughtry

I don’t even know what that means. I guess he’s more into pop than flyover rocker I guess. Although a couple of clips on the album sound quite suitable for Daughtry. Ann Powers must get paid by the word.

edit: Please DO NOT discuss the blog on the blog. The fanwarrish complaining about other posters in other threads is the type of thing that will put you in moderation.

That’s a Queen T-shirt and that would be Freddie rockin’ the mustache.

I’m so glad it’s finally official. Here is link to the cast of performers… http://www.womenandcancer.com/thecast.html

To clarify – I can’t speak for other Cook fans but I don’t think (or hope) Carrie U. is gonna drop he boyfriend for him. I’m just glad that Cookie’s being mentioned in this storm of publicity she’s currently getting.

jpfan- it means exactly what he says. He thinks of himself more as pop but he can definitely cross genres and does. It would be like MJ was pop but he did rock like “Dirty Diana”. And no, I am not saying he is MJ……although others are

I was not a Carrie fan in her season (I liked Bo Bice). It was clear that she had a fantastic voice, but she had little in the way of performance skills and would give note-perfect performances that left me completely cold. Plus, I’m not a country fan.

Over the past few years she’s won me over. She really can sing rock, and she’s now at ease, warm and funny onstage. And of course, the fact that she’s been pimping David only makes me like her more! They really do sound great together, and I can’t wait for her special, where she and David sing Van Halen.

Thanks janus! LMAO at thinking it was Magnum PI!

Are the iTunes charts still screwed up? Because I just checked the Top songs chart and there is still no sign of For Your Entertainment anywhere on it, while Allison is at #82, Kris at #112 and Adam’s TFM at #150 — which is where all three of these songs were yesterday. No movement at all? That’s a little suspicious.

I thought the whole point of the Ann Powers article was that he was a new kind of rocker. Now I’m confused. Was Micheal Jackson a rocker? Or that he can cross many genres. Okay fair enough. But it can hard to be all things to all people especially on radio.

DC fans I doubt Carrie U will drop haockey player for DAvid if soo her track record with guys not good..

Oh, I don’t think any DC fans think Carrie U will drop her BF for David LOL. Or that her sweet pimping of their friendship will drive album sales back up to the BB 200 LOL. It’s just that we find the friendship sweet. As an Idol fan, I find all Idol friendships sweet. The Archie-DC montage someone posted last night was so adorable. The epic Season 7 reunion at DC’s LA show earlier this year was squee-worthy. I dunno, it’s a cheesy reality show, but something about these guys bonding makes me feel like it’s a good thing too, and not just this soul-less machine.

Hey group huggers, did y’all hear that someone found DC’s Yahoo Answers profile from 3 years ago? I felt kinda creepy reading it, so I won’t repost, but it was kinda cool to hear his “voice” back then, and see he was the same polite, sweet guy. This Carrie comment made me think of the answer he posted in response to someone asking for advice about a friend she likes:

How to face a guy and tell him that you like him very much?
Well, the most obvious one would be to tell him. If he really is your friend, then an open dialouge should be present already. Having said that, know that if you enter into a relationship, the sanctity of your friendship is compromised.

I dunno why, I just liked that answer. Methinks DC knows a thing or two about the maintaining the sanctity of platonic guy-girl friendships. Okay, filled my creepy fan quota for the day =P. Will stay away from too much personal shit for the rest of my comments!

I guess David C. has decided that the “executive” comb-over will now be his “trademark” aka D. Trump.

HAIR seems to be a big “identifier” for a musician, whether it is a lot of hair or no hair. I mean some singers totally loose their mojo when they change their hair style (Bolton) and some singer’s stick with the same do their entire career (Diamond).

So the secret is to change it up early and often and then it doesn’t define you…you define it.

Thanks janus! LMAO at thinking it was Magnum PI!

LOL, yes confusing Tom Selleck and Freddie Mercury is pretty funny!
Actually though, in that picture John Deacon is more recognizable than Freddie so you’re forgiven .

iTunes does not seem to have changed from yesterday. In the pop albums, Kris is at #8 and Adam’s FYE (single, 1000 ratings, BTW) is at #29. THAT is messed up.

New Billboard Top 100 chart is out. Time for Miracles dropped off the chart. And LLWD still hasn’t made it back onto it.

Does anyone have the Billboard.Biz chart subscription where you can see the more specialized charts? I want to see where LLWD is on the Adult Pop and Christian charts this week, but I don’t subscribe to Billboard.Biz.

Oops forgot the link.

Ann Powers must get paid by the word.

Hahaha. I gotta say, Richard Rushfield has Powers beat by a mile if you’re talking overwrought, overly verbose writing styles, (I pretty much stay away from his articles entirely to avoid rolling my eyes out of my head), but I also find that I can only stand reading Powers on occasion. It’s a karaoke show, and these guys are making rushed major label records largely controlled by TPTB’s. Everything is so damn meaningful to her that it sometimes just gets silly.

RT @KscopeOnIce: David Archuleta and Katherine McPhee to perform at Kaleidoscope!

Yay for Archie! I’ll have to TIVO, however, so I can fast forward through Katharine McPhee and David Foster. YUCK.

Oh, say it isn’t so. Adam and Ferras an item?

http://www.starmagazine.com/adam_lambert_already_has_a_new_guy_/news/16213

iTunes does not seem to have changed from yesterday. In the pop albums, Kris is at #8 and Adam’s FYE (single, 1000 ratings, BTW) is at #29. THAT is messed up.

Adam’s FYE single also ranks at number 141 on the overall Top Albums chart. Yes, iTunes is really messed up.

I was being sarcastic ..except the Carrie-cook thing sounds a little me for promo to me..(for the special)..Carrie U from the outside seems to have a little crush on DC but does luv her bf…..Matchmaking some do some seem a little overinvested in there idols love life..Me for fun think DC and Kelly C will be great together…Take into a team lostccount my lost.politics is driving me nuts ..yes I like DC better than CArrie u personality wise…

Short piece from the trashy tabloid claiming Adam has already hooked up with Ferras. More disturbing is that the tabloid is going to do an interview with Drake’s mom…

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the # for FYE – many fans bought it already on other sites, and the itunes troubles make it hard to find on their site unless you are one of the diehard fans that likely already bought it – a no-win apparently.

Are the iTunes charts still screwed up?

It’s just that we find the friendship sweet. As an Idol fan, I find all Idol friendships sweet. The Archie-DC montage someone posted last night was so adorable.

Seriously! I certainly don’t want her and DC dating. My squeeing comes from the fact that my two favorite Idols from the past 8 years are close friends and I just think its adorable. I was squeeing all night when all the Idols from season 7 went to his show a couple of months ago too. Idol bonding makes me happy!

I was being sarcastic ..except the Carrie-cook thing sounds a little me for promo to me..(for the special).

These two have been talking about how they’re such good friends way before this special even came about.

Oh, say it isn’t so. Adam and Ferras an item?

Ok, call me a bad Adam fan (or just not able to take in every bit of info out there) – but what is Ferras’s connection with Adam? Did they do previous shows together? (Zodiac, etc.) I know he co-wrote one of the album songs.

I bought this over for those who may have missed it buried on the other thread. Excellent article.

Some of that Ann Power LONG article is fine. But some of it is so silly and OTT, I actually laughed out loud. Especially at the part which says he recruited all those producers/artists to work on his album. And all that stuff about him being a new kind of rocker. Hasn’t she even heard the album. Boy, does she take albums produced in three months by TPTB seriously.

As for the quote, I’ll wait to hear what people who arent on the 19 payroll say about the album. Because Tedder and Cabello are making $ from it.

I am certain that Orianthi in on the album because of 19. And Tedder, Cavallo, Perry, Kara D. and Bensen are 19R regulars. But Greg Wells, Pink, Lady GaGa, Matt Bellamy (MUSE), Rivers Cuomo (Weezer), Justin Hawkins, Paul McCartney’s bandmates — what other 19R product did they work on. We know that Adam gave the A&R team a list of producers and collaborators in May, my guess is that many of the new to 19 producers and writers were on that list.

But I also take what Tedder and Cavallo have with a grain of salt because they have songs on this album — but they both have also had songs on other 19R albums and never said things quite like this about those artists.

Ryan Tedder worked with Kelly, Jordin, Blake and many others — and did he ever say anything like this before?

“Adam is unusually confident in my mind but not in a pretentious way,” Tedder said in an e-mail. “He has the confidence of a guy that absolutely knows who he is to the core, both musically and personally. He spent four days in Denver working with me and was as laid back and comfortable in my studio as he was being swarmed by fans when we went to dinner. For a first-time artist, he definitely had more control creatively than I’ve ever seen a new act given, but Adam is the kind of person that would rather not put out anything than put out something that was less than 100% his vision.”

Rob Cavallo is Chief Creative Director for one of Sony’s main competitors, Warner Music Group, so he isn’t exactly on the 19/Sony payroll. He also knows 19 and RCA very well — he produced Cook’s album last year. Why would Cavallo say this about Adam if he didn’t believe it?

“His No. 1 challenge, which I think he’ll pass, is stay true to himself and to roll with the punches as they come,” said Rob Cavallo, who has worked with artists from Green Day to the Dave Matthews Band and produced four tracks on “For Your Entertainment.” “He’s going to have successes. He might have people against him. Which is exactly what happened to Elvis, the Beatles, to Prince. . . . There will be controversy, and there will be opinions. If he stays true to himself he will be one of those great artists to watch over the years.”

Adam is attempting to do something that only one other 19R artist attempted — Blake Lewis — put out a multi genre album with dance, pop and rock songs on it. Based on the clips and songs we have heard, I think that Adam has taken “multi-genre” farther. I am confident that critical response to Adam’s album will be better than Blake got. But I expect that FYE will have a similar level of commercial success — at least initially. In its first week of release, Audio Day Dream sold about 97,500 copies, debuting at #10 on the Billboard 200 — if Adam can sell 100K Week 1 and hit the Top 10 on Billboard 200, I will be thrilled.

I love FYE [album] but I can also see what a commercial risk Adam is taking — I cannot think of one new artist who ever succeeded with an album contain Pop/Rock “Whatya Want From Me”, Dance/Electronica “FYE”, Theatrical Ballad “Soaked”, Rock “Aftermath”, Pop Ballad “Broken Open” and a song that would make any Country Crossover artist proud “Sleepwalker”. I just hope that Adam’s faith in music buyers is fulfilled. to quote Adam:

“There was a different world before, with the rock ‘n’ roll thing,” he said. “Today, the same kids who love the Beatles and the Stones and Zeppelin could love Radiohead, and Adam Lambert. Young people today are not as worried about being genre specific.”

Finally, to end with my fav quote from this article:

“He can sing almost any note on a guitar from the lowest to highest,” said Cavallo, who thinks Lambert’s sense of style and soul, combined with that range, puts him in the realm of the greats. “And if you’re in the studio with him and say, ‘Can we get a little more dirty?’ he’ll go ‘Waaaaah!’ And then the microphone is melted and the speakers have exploded.”

We know that Adam sang at least 4-1/4 octaves on the album — so Cavallo’s comment about Adam’s range is true. And my bet is there are a few melted microphones in the recording studio — because who sings like this?

Adam and Ferras are an ITEM. Oh, Star Magazine, you are pathetic. If Adam knows about it–I bet he does–I hope he is laughing.

FYE is doing pretty well, except for where it SHOULD BE: on the pop or iTunes Hot 100 singles chart. Same with LLWD. And can an album that hasn’t been released yet be on the chart (Kris at #8, pop)? At least Adam’s says FYE–single, which, however, is even more messed up.

iTunes–epic fail, day two.

Smallie- if you read the Powers article again, and only take into account what the people she interviewed said ( Cavallo, Tedder, Pnfield) it’s still pretty impressive. I don’t take Powers, Parker, Cantiello or Slezak seriously anymore- but the quotes from other people she interviewed was what really impressed me- and I highly doubt Tedder and Cavallo are so indebted to 19 that they are forced to say such things, as jpfan suggests.

And all that stuff about him being a new kind of rocker. Hasn’t she even heard the album. Boy, does she take albums produced in three months by TPTB seriously.

I would imagine that it’s a better bet that Ann Powers has heard the entire album than you have. There are definitely some rock-elements to the “snippets” we’ve heard, as well as pop.

Thought it was a great article, some great new information and some insights into Adam’s thought processes. As far as Tedder’s comments about Adam’s “vision” and being a driving force behind the sound of the album, I’ll just say, based on the snippets? I believe him. It certainly follows what Adam has said his album would be like since the end of Idol. It’s full of ecletic songs, different genres and his voice is front and center. Based on the snippets, it certainly doesn’t seem like a generic idol album as lamented by a lot of long-time idol followers, so I’m happy. Will it translate to success?? Who knows..it’s a crap shoot. But like I said earlier, I’m on the train and will continue to ride. If he fails and winds up doing musicals again, I’ll be first in line to be a ticket. If he succeeds beyond our expectations and is playing sold out shows in huge venues? I’ll be first in line to buy a ticket.

David and CarrieU thier duet was not good..BTW Daivd was not at fault..Tired hearing of the Daivd and Carrie U friendship a little tiring..Like duh Carriie U was hanging on David Ca bee on honey kind of pathictic..Yeah just because Carriu likes Davids CD did not really translate to mass buying of it..I wonder of her pimpage is not because of friends but the same lable? DC fans I doubt Carrie U will drop haockey player for DAvid if soo her track record with guys not good..

1. David & Carrie’s duet WAS very good. JMO
2. Love hearing of the David & Carrie friendship. Nice to see in the music business two talented performers have formed this kind of friendship.
3. Her pimping of DCTR may not translate into mass buying (don’t know if that happening yet but Itune numbers improved dramatically after it).
4. Not one fan of DC that I know of thinks Carrie will drop her hockey player. Just nice to see she can have a male friend without all the hoopla.
6. Why should the label not have their artists pimp all of their artists. Seems like a good business decision to me.

Short piece from the trashy tabloid claiming Adam has already hooked up with Ferras. More disturbing is that the tabloid is going to do an interview with Drake’s mom’ ¦

http://www.starmagazine.com/adam_lambert_already_has_a_new_guy_/news/16213

Which is probably all the more reason Adam needed to put space between himself and Drake. Adam’s friends and co-workers seem to be very loyal to him. Cheeks even got a quite lucrative offer from what I understand to “spill the beans” while Adam was on Idol. Artists – especially artists just starting out – don’t need some rougue person telling things from behind the scenes. Especially when their viewpoint might be slightly biased.

LLWD is currently # 27 on Billboard HAC chart, last week it was # 31.
It is the #3 most added song with 8 stations adding it this week.

That is all the information I have, I don’t see him on the Christian charts but I only see top 30 on the Christian charts.

iTunes charts are frozen at 12:45PM 11/04/09 numbers.

Oh but supposedly the guy with Adam at Danielle’s show last night wasn’t Ferras…it was probably his longtime friend Jeremy Kilpatrick

Jon and Edward from the UK’s X Factor are seriously cute, but talented? Not so much

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tnfs6Gs-Fxg

Okay, I’m a big Adam fan, but I still found “Explosions Nearly Make Adam Lambert’s Guyliner Run” quite funny.

Ok, call me a bad Adam fan (or just not able to take in every bit of info out there) ‘“ but what is Ferras’s connection with Adam?

Ferras is one of Adam’s prior friends. Ferras and Alisan tweet each other all the time.

I hope this isn’t true and the magazine is just basing the theory on the fact that Ferras and Adam were part of the same group that hung out together on HalloPeen.

Yes, evidently any album available for pre-order (like Kris’) can be on the iTunes charts. Last I looked it was #37 on the overall iTunes chart, but I haven’t checked since yesterday morning, so it may have dropped down

I want to buy/gift FYE from itunes but I won’t bother til they get it straight. I bought a couple other artists yesterday and haven’t gotten an email confirming the payment yet.

Short piece from the trashy tabloid claiming Adam has already hooked up with Ferras. More disturbing is that the tabloid is going to do an interview with Drake’s mom’ ¦

Just throwing out there but how do we know it’s not true? If it is true, I don’t think Adam is going to announce it the same week he broke up with Drake.

…and Drake’s mom is no doubt upset because of the attention it won’t get her any more.

Cheeks even got a quite lucrative offer from what I understand to ‘spill the beans’  while Adam was on Idol.

yeah, quite lucrative. $2,000.

Thanks for the info. LLWD was #50 on the Christian chart last week, so if it move up, it didn’t jump enough to break into the Top 30

iTunes charts are frozen at 12:45PM 11/04/09 numbers.

Wow, I am oddly impressed that you know that down to the 45 minutes!

Rob Cavallo on Adam:

“And if you’re in the studio with him and say, ‘Can we get a little more dirty?’ he’ll go ‘Waaaaah!’ And then the microphone is melted and the speakers have exploded.”

Haha, best quote ever!!

That was a really enjoyable article. The stuff about rock radio seemed pointless, though, because the leaked album clips are straight-up pop.

Does anyone watch Jay Leno? According to gossipcandy.com, he made a joke about Adam and Drake’s breakup? Which went…

“Adam Lambert and his boyfriend have broken up. His boyfriend left him for Kris Allen. He came in 2nd AGAIN!’ 

ummm….

Thanks, girlygirl. I wondered, b/c I noticed a couple of other albums that aren’t out yet were there as well. They need to take Adam out of albums and put him in songs. I guess it doesn’t matter at this point, tho, and they aren’t doing anything at the moment, it appears.

Ferras and Adam might be an item, but I want to hear about his music, and I am sure that is what he would like the media to do, too. However, the tabloids won’t, or TMZ.

Okay, this is when you know you have arrived :

Am very much looking forward to Carrie’s Holiday Special, and would have watched it had David not been invited to perform. But the fact that David will be performing and also sharing a duet with Carrie makes me very happy. I was a fan of Carrie’s before I ever heard of David. Became a huge fan of David’s – seperate from Carrie. Now it’s my two fandoms meeting again, if you will. And yeah, they sound fantastic together. And I highly doubt that Carrie would mention David in her album liner notes if this was strictly a Label manuever.

Are the iTunes charts still screwed up? Because I just checked the Top songs chart and there is still no sign of For Your Entertainment anywhere on it, while Allison is at #82, Kris at #112 and Adam’s TFM at #150 ‘” which is where all three of these songs were yesterday. No movement at all? That’s a little suspicious.”

that’s b/c they’ve got FYE listed under albums. Last I checked it was sitting at #141.

That Ann Powers article was great. Her interview with Adam and some of the people who worked with him seemed very real, true and honest. I do not think Cavallo was paid by anyone to make those comments. I think he believes what he’s saying, but then again, I tend to be an optimist and take people at face value.

What Adam is trying to do is difficult and ITA with Cindy M’s post upthread. I’m along for the ride, taking the good with the bad, and so far, I’m having a pretty good time!

Does anyone watch Jay Leno? According to gossipcandy.com, he made a joke about Adam and Drake’s breakup? Which went’ ¦

ummm’ ¦.

Not funny in any way whatsover.

Leno: Tool.

I think Carrie likes Daid’s music. I don’t think it’s very difficult to figure out. They both are from the midwest. They both are college graduates. They both are Idol alumni. I think they have a lot in common. If it was only the label thing, she’d be pimping Daughtry and Adam…and she isn’t. She also wouldn’t have gone to Walmart at midnight (in her jammies) to buy Cook’s album the day it came out. I happen to think they sound divine together and complement each other’s voice perfectly…JMO. I’m looking forward to Carrie’s Christmas special (and to getting her CD in the mail…hopefully today).

Here’s the Spanish language version of FIBOU

I bought a couple other artists yesterday and haven’t gotten an email confirming the payment yet.

me neither.

Leno was never funny.

and I highly doubt Tedder and Cavallo are so indebted to 19 that they are forced to say such things, as jpfan suggests.

Well they may not be indebted to 19 but they do have a personal stake in the album, just saying. But based on the clips I’ve heard of their Adam songs, I think they have the product to back up their praise.

Reminder:

DO NOT discuss the blog on the blog. I just noticed someone bitching about fans in another thread. Want to get banned fast? That’s the way to do it.

The iTunes feeds have updated. FYE is #44 on all genres. Alison #95. Kris #108.

I actually really enjoyed the Ann Powers article…she writes well and you can tell she puts thought into her writing and descriptions so that it doesnt sound like shes just summarizing…and the last bit about Adam’s voice was really interesting…how he talked to a vocal coach about how he sings hehe…hes so smart and you can tell he knows what hes doing when he sings…
His voice is just very unique and very rare these days…his range permits him to do anything, sing anything…I think the training he had was a good foundation but I love that he sings with the rock wail…it sounds very cool and is more modern and edgy…and he does it flawlessly..its true you cant really teach that…
vocal coaches cant teach style they just teach you how to sing in the most healthy way and project your voice but for Adams purposes, his way of singing is nearly perfect…he just needs to take care of himself and rest his voice when it needs it and he’ll be fine.

Does anyone have the Billboard.Biz chart subscription where you can see the more specialized charts? I want to see where LLWD is on the Adult Pop and Christian charts this week, but I don’t subscribe to Billboard.Biz.

Adult Top 40: LLWD is at #27, (up from #31)

I’m not seeing Kris on any of the Christian charts. Did he chart there last week?

The iTunes feeds have updated. FYE is #44 on all genres. Alison #95. Kris #108.

TFM #144.

Finally got a chance to read the Ann Powers article. Wow! That was great – love the quotes from Adam – just awesome, awesome stuff. Two of my favorite lines:

outrageousness that’s totally at peace with itself.

The perfect definition of Adam

“And if you’re in the studio with him and say, ‘Can we get a little more dirty?’ he’ll go ‘Waaaaah!’ And then the microphone is melted and the speakers have exploded.”

Love that quote from Rob Cavallo!

‘Adam Lambert and his boyfriend have broken up. His boyfriend left him for Kris Allen. He came in 2nd AGAIN!’ 

Oh c’mon, I’m as big an Adam fan as anyone and I found it funny. Kris’s “100% straight” reputation is losing percentage points all over the place. LOL..between the flirting between him and Jim C., the tinhatting of every picture of Kris with his pre-idol friends, Adam and assorted random males, and this kind of stuff, I’d be shocked if he was considered 98%.

Q3-Where does the info about the 4 1/2 octaves sung on the album come
from? Thank you, in advance.

I’m not seeing Kris on any of the Christian charts. Did he chart there last week?

I have not seen LLWD on the Christian charts but I expect it to chart there at some point.

The Ann powers article is very interesting.

I like that Adam is very aware of all the rumblings in the fandom, like those that say he sold out or those that think he doesn’t have rock cred. I didn’t think he knew. the funny thing is in every interview abt his album , he always said electro, pop,rock and so he gave exactly what he said he wld. I never got that hard rock was his thing, yes he has the rock wail down, so many wld have assumed that he wld go that way but nothing in his pre idol work screamed rock to me.

i remember after WLL randy told him he shld do a rock album and who knows in the future we might get that. but it occurred to me that the judges didn’t see rock in him until WLL. i now understand what he meant when he said after idol he had an identity crisis. it was probably on whether to do rock or pop. of course when u can do all u can get a bit confused/ unsure of which way to go. lol

‘Adam Lambert and his boyfriend have broken up. His boyfriend left him for Kris Allen. He came in 2nd AGAIN!’ 

Oh c’mon, I’m as big an Adam fan as anyone and I found it funny.

Someone posted it on Twitter last night and I laughed too.

Do you really think that’s possible?

Kris is happy!

#I love my job. (no exclamation just a content statement)32 minutes ago from Echofon

Also, LLWD was on the Billboard Christian chart last week — at #50

That’s me making the statement about LLWD being on the chart (not Kris)

Thought it was a great article, some great new information and some insights into Adam’s thought processes.

I don’t disagree that Powers often has a lot of good info in her articles, it’s just that you gotta wade through a LOT of verbosity and overanalyzing to get to the info, and sometimes I lack that patience. Though, I appreciate Q3 pulling the choice quotes so I don’t have to read the whole thing . Can I have someone do that for every Powers article in the future =P? Heh.

poporange, I would KILL to see a Kelly and DC duet. I’m liking Carrie more and more, but KC and DC are my two all-time fave Idols, so if they ever did a duet or became friends, I would be ploding like Trina on a daily basis. Not shipping that either, but just squeeing at the cuteness of two people I like interacting and stuff.

Did FYE move up? I have it at #40.

Leno was never funny.

Actually I thought he had a time of being funny, before he was the host of the Tonight Show, then it all became yawn and fawn. And yes, he’s a tool.

Anyhew, good to see iTunes is still screwed up. Good job guys!

Oh and I’m an Adam stan and I don’t take articles like the LA Times one seriously. I just care about the nice things they say about Adam as a person and his kind of joie de vivre approach to live. Oh and I learned something about him, opera…hmmm. Other than that, way too much hyperbole for this Adam stan. Ick. Just give him his actual due, talk about his actual talents, which I think he has a lot of, and leave the hyperbole at the door. I get so tired of people who seem to be setting him up to fail if he isn’t the gay messiah of coolness and music as well! Double ick.

I have FYE at 44. Not that I am complaining, considering it has gotten ZILCH promotion from “Epic Fail” iTunes. Alli is at #95. Kris fell off the charts.

Q3-Where does the info about the 4 1/2 octaves sung on the album come
from? Thank you, in advance.

I grabbed notes from the vocal tracks and ran them through a frequency software. The range not in any one song — across the album.

I couldn’t isolate some of the high notes on the backing tracks Adam sings but he has a few clear high notes on the lead vocal tracks that are free of noise. The high notes on FYE are really easy to measure and at the begining of Music Again. The low notes on Fever, Aftermath, Broken Open, Strut and Soaked are also easy to measure.

Some of the backup vocal tracks could have been alterers — but the vocals overall sound really clean to me. And there are pre-Idol live recording of Adam hitting these same high and low notes — so it seems really sung to me. YMMV.

FYE – #22 on pop chart: #44 overall.

Well, mine says updated one hour ago….so who knows.

Kris hasn’t fallen off the chart. LLWD is at #108 on the iTunes singles chart (FIBOU at #95, FYE at #44, TFM at #144)

Preview tracks up at littleglitterlittleglam. Utubes are disappearing.

‘And if you’re in the studio with him and say, ‘Can we get a little more dirty?’ he’ll go ‘Waaaaah!’ And then the microphone is melted…

Guess those highly sensitive studio mic’s don’t have sturdy mic stands to take the “Waaaaaaah” for them. 52 nights of WLL and the only thing that melted were hearts in the first 50 rows. (60 on Elvis/back door man nights…)

I hope Allison gets some promo soon, because FIBOU is going the wrong way on the iTunes chart. Jive needs to start pushing this pretty quick.

Oh, okay. I meant iTunes top 100. I can see Top 200 at home, but I guess my software is more up-to-date there.

Nice to see that they still have a little picture of “what’s hot” for Alli. Adam, er, not so much (as in, none).

FYE – #22
FIBOU – #35
LLWD – #41
TFM – #48

FYI album is at #9 on Amazon and Rod is green and pointing up. It has now spent 40 day in the top 100. (I actually think it’s been in the top 15 all of those 40 days.)

The single is at #17 but is highlighted as “new and notable.

SueBrody- i think I have to give the edge to shirtless guy just for the rockin body. Orange hoodie guy and his cassio was priceless though, lmao!

sma11ie , ITA re: a DC and Kelly collaboration! It would be awesome. He played some of her songs during his week as a DJ on 104.3 MYfm. It made me smile.

Allison will be a hit in my country if they start playing it on the radio, very catchy song, with great translation to spanish, amazing voive and excellent pronunciation that ´s very important for us, when Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams sang in spanish they were so terrible that people at their concerts shouted them to sing in english lol.

I am seriously, seriously traumatized and really, really appreciate Adam more.

I enjoyed reading this Ann Powers article. imo it’s the second best article about Adam that I’ve read, the best one is LA Times 4 pieces interview.

Ann Powers likes to write from a culture/music influence perspective, which sometimes will over-signify the impact of some acts. But I think her base points are right on the money. Both Lyndsey and Ann Powers noticed Adam’s attempt to fuse pop and rock and to bring back glam rock in a way that can be accepted in current music. They also pointed out that because of Adam’s lifestyle and his music taste, he wants and probably is more able than most of current young male artists to go theatrical in music presentation which is dominated by female artists.

Based on those 30 sec snippets, I think Adam did put a good effort on what he tried to do: 1) multi-genre, pop, rock, dancing, electric, and even country 2) bringing back 60-80 music, glam rock, disco, etc and 3) theatrical in rock/pop.

So far I like what I’ve heard and I really really hope FYE can be a commercially success so that Adam can keep audio-lizing his vision and getting support from the music industry.

I am seriously, seriously traumatized and really, really appreciate Adam more.

Count me as a fan that doesn’t ship David and Carrie except for friendship. Romance can sometimes be temporary and when it ends can lead to very hard feelings. Friendship can be forever. I love the musical friendship between David and Carrie. And what I really want – is to see the two of them duet on Lie – I can hear it in my head – it would rival Picture done by Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock.

Me too Mitla. Some things just shouldn’t be acoustic. Or unplugged. Or cassio’d.

Well he did say it was a first version didn’t he? We can probably expect ‘miracles” on the second, more upbeat version.

The dance and acoustic of FYE are funny. But what I really want is a kick-ass remix of FYE.

I realize Kris has had dozens of promotion gigs to get spins and adds (e.g., radio-sponsored concerts, interviews). How does Adam get the spins and adds when he has only done one promo (Ryan’s show)?

This is nice. David Cook has often mentioned in interviews how much he loves Erin McCarley’s debut album (she’s best known for her song ‘Love, Save The Empty’). So now this from Twitter:

@erinmccarley: @thedavidcook this is LONG overdue…thank you. I appreciate everything you have said and supported . Hopefully I can repay someday.

@thedavidcook: No thanks necessary, @erinmccarley. Just keep making great records…

Similar to the CookWood thing – no shipping here. Just really nice to see artists supporting other artists, making friends in this crazy cut-throat business, etc.

I love Erin McCarley’s record. And I met her at a concert- she is the sweetest thing. I think she’s married, so no shipping there haha.

Random aside: DC seems to really dig these singer-songwriter types when it comes to female artists. Missy Higgins, Sara Barielles. No wonder he keeps naming Brooke’s Let it Be as his favorite Idol performance. Hee, I think I happen to have similar taste in music- I tend to like the singer-songwriter girls but for guy voices, I prefer the richer guy voices in bands.

Powers noticed Adam’s attempt to fuse pop and rock and to bring back glam rock in a way that can be accepted in current music.

So did Lindsay Parker.

Q3-Thanks, again. Just curious. I thought there might be a review or
something that I missed. Would you mind if I ask what low to high notes
you found?

First I believe that there is a lot more to Adam vocal brilliance than his range albeit impressive. The overall vocal quality of Soaked and Broken Open clips is still amzong to me. Also there are a lot of people who are better at this than me — and Amazon clips are not great quality files. But here is what I found.

Low C2 (certain) A1 or A#1 (with distortion so I am less confident on this lower note.)

High — I have isolated a clear C#6 and a possible E6.

There are live recordings of Adam D2 to B#5 and since Adam said Cavallo pushed him farther than anyone ever had before — it isn’t totally surprising. Also hearing the clips of the Cavallo and Wells tracks — I am starting to think that they both pushed him in his lower range — a good thing IMO. And remember Wells’ tweets about Adam while they were doing his recording sessions:

Greg Wells: Have. Never. Worked. With. A. Singer. Like. This.
8:19 PM Oct 12th from Tweetie

Greg Wells: Mr. Lambert blew my mind today on the microphone.
8:07 PM Oct 11th from Tweetie

Did you guys see the photos from last night of Mr. Lambert in plaid?

@erinmccarley: @thedavidcook this is LONG overdue’ ¦thank you. I appreciate everything you have said and supported . Hopefully I can repay someday.

@thedavidcook: No thanks necessary, @erinmccarley. Just keep making great records’ ¦

OK, I love that. And he definitely has similar taste in female voices to mine… I love the singer/songwriter vibe.

Not bad for Adam’s FYE since his song was just added this week for radioplay. Not to forget that he is also charting at amazon and I guess some who are impatient bought the song from his official site, AO. I guess TFM will start to pick up once they’re showing the film.

I don’t worry about Allison because she has the Latino market and Jive is aware of this.

That was really sweet of Erin. Her album is terrific, actually, a Grammy nomination for best new artist would be deserved.

Similar to the CookWood thing ‘“ no shipping here.

LOL I can’t believe that now everytime David is mentioned in the same sentence as a woman it has to come with a note.

Thank you for finding that. I do not usually take the time to watch all of the tubeys, but that was quite awesome. All of my iTunes worries just drifted away. At peace now.

The MTV news article contains an error — the release date for The Fame Monster [Deluxe Edition] [EXTRA TRACKS] was moved to 11/23/09 — Music Monday a couple of weeks ago.

It just changed. Mr. Lambert’s For Your Entertainment has now fallen completely out of the top 1000 songs.

Q3- I agree that there is more to Adam’s voice than his range. I probably
should have explained why I was so interested. It’s just that I’ve been
watching the DDD boys argue about Adam since about March. I’ve never
registered, so I don’t post or anything. I’m not qualified. Just recently though
they started arguing about his range again. They knocked about an octave
off the estimate of his lower range. This is Not really important, because
they Will get it right. I just wanted you to say you did hear second octave notes. You did and I’m reassured that I haven’t totally been hearing things.

iTunes is still messed up ‘” it is not updating. It looks like they just did a static update of the charts ‘” it is still frozen.

fye vanished again from my itunes top 100…

I must be doing something wrong. That last post doesn’t look the way
I typed it.

Is FYE still being wonky on the iTunes chart? I see that Allison’s FIBOU stays steady at around #82. FYE was 44, but disappeared.

Apparently FYE is now on Canada iTunes !! Come on UK !

Hi guys, I wanted to pop my head in here again and ask something about Adam’s range.

Q3, I’ve loved your posts and you have seemed so knowledgeable so I’d like your opinion on something. I don’t know if you have seen the discussion thread on the DDD Music FOrum: http://forums.nutsie.com/viewtopic.php?t=54895&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=660

I believe starting on page 45 (in case the link doesn’t work properly) there is a discussion of Adam’s range. It had previously been determined by supposed musical boffins that the lowest recorded note Adam had sung was a D2 in that performance of Crazy at Upright, for NYE 2008 I think. On the page I have hopefully linked to someone has chimed in saying that not only is that note not a D, but is an F, but is also in Octave 3, not 2. He seemed quite affronted that Adam had been credited with a near 4-octave range when in fact he claimed it was closer to 2 1/2. Now I am not at all knowledgeable on these things, short of a year or so’s piano tuition way back when. However, I find it hard to believe that his range, based on Idol and YT vids available currently, that his range is limited to just 2 1/2 octaves. I’d be interested to see what you thought. Also, out of interest, how reliable is your software for testing these things.

TerraJ, I think you post here sometimes and seem to know about these things, what do you think?

Finally: MJ, sorry for the long post. I hope it isn’t too off topic since the conversation was already brought up. Happy to move this post elsewhere if needed.

On Ryan’s radio show this morning, he talked about Adam being single and dating while on tour (TOUR,yay!) Then he said something about how to make sure Adam comes to your hometown, to stay tuned, because it’s something we “won’t want to miss”. I’ve checked his website, thinking something might be posted about it, but there’s nothing. Did anybody else hear this, or am I dreaming??

It’s just that I’ve been watching the DDD boys argue about Adam since about March. I’ve never registered, so I don’t post or anything. I’m not qualified. Just recently though they started arguing about his range again. They knocked about an octave off the estimate of his lower range.

They can argue all they want — Rob Cavallo had Adam in studio and tested Adam’s range — Cavallo said was over 4 octaves — every note on the guitar so that is a low of E2. Why would Cavallo make that up?
Adam’s vocal coaches have said the same thing — full Bari range.

Anyway, it really doesn’t matter because Adam is only 27 and his lower range isn’t fully developed yet. It should “improve” by the time Adam hits his mid-30′s — just like Freddy Mercury’s voice did.

What the heck!!!

Pick up the new issue of Star for more exclusive details about Adam’s new love crush and an interview with ex-boyfriend Drake’s shocked mom!

Can you say riding on coat tails!!!!!

Ah, I see 4Msrmyn has also mentioned the DDD forum! Oops! Soory for the duplicate. Still interesting though. But agreed, his range is but one part of what makes this man so fascinating!

However, I find it hard to believe that his range, based on Idol and YT vids available currently, that his range is limited to just 2 1/2 octaves.

LOL to 2 1/2 octaves – that is DEFINITELY not correct. Though I’ve never officially tested what his range is (And I guess I should since I’m all into that musician stuff). I’ve always been most curious about how high Adam can sing – it’s sort of a contest I have going on with him

To clarify my outrage is at Drake’s mother – I could care less if Adam was dating Ferras or not.

Hrrm, Adam was at #22 and now he’s off again.

WTG, wonky iTunes. Fail!

I keep wanting to ask: Who are the DDD boys?

Vids=awesome. But someone play FYE (in Boston). Please!!! (And add it; only 13 so far. Boo!)

Is FYE still being wonky on the iTunes chart? I see that Allison’s FIBOU stays steady at around #82. FYE was 44, but disappeared.

Allison was at 92 (or ninety something) half an hour ago. So its the glitch again. Itunes is pathetic. I hope they compensate adam with lots of banners.

here is two pics taken by an IDF fan who was at Adam’s friend Danielle’s show of Adam with Danielle and Adam’s mom:

Starryeyed-I thought they had come to a basic consensus, with only a few notes on each end of the range left to agree upon. However, it’s kind of like watching a soap-opera. You could miss weeks, months, years maybe. You go back to watch and they haven’t moved the discussion along very far.

AHHHHHHHH! Yes! All the trauma is gone! Whew! HAWT! Thanks Mitla96!

Hrrm, Adam was at #22 and now he’s off again.

#22 in overall chart? I only saw #44 the highest.

I haven’t got receipt for my purchase of FYE yet. I wonder whether these sales have been entered to itune’s system or whether they are entered under the album account instead of single account.

I heard that he was really tired at the show. Poor bb. The IDF fan gives a whole account of the night-watching him at the table next to them, drinking a drink with a lime in it, having a good time-talking to him. Gosh I wish I lived in LA.

Adam picked up another add today!

CKOI -Top 40-Montreal

I believe he was 22 on pop chart and 44 overall for FYE

I just checked my email too. No confirmation from itunes. However, there was an email from AO (i think) that announced FYE is avail on itunes.

Regarding the DDD discussion on range — I am not sure what the point of the discussion is. Even live vocals can be modified by autotuning mikes — and recording are very easily manipulated. The only way to know a modern artist’s vocal range is to test them live.

All I know is that I have been lucky enough to hear Adam sign live 4 times, and there is a unique quality to his voice, particularly the high notes, that I have never heard before. Is he the “best” rock vocalist I’ve ever heard? Maybe not, but he is certainly one of the best. Adam’s voice is unique, powerful and he is my alltime favorite male vocalist. That is an emotional decision, not a mathmatical one. So if his range is 14 steps or 50 steps — I do not care. It’s what he does with his voice that matters to me. [He's also not a bad performer and dancer!]

iTunes is back to the old chart positions from noon yesterday. It is not updating properly.

Yay for Adam’s add. Boo for no one actually PLAYING Adam who added FYE.

Still don’t know who DDD is. Is Danielle Adam’s childhood friend?

iTunes continues to suck.

Alli is still at #82 in Top 100. Adam is…not.

Suebrody, DDD is a music forum. There is a subforum of rock vocalists. dont know who the boys who post there are, prob only people who enjoy the great voices.

Itunes listed FYE as an album an not a song in canada too! those people need to be fired!

Is that the same plaid shirt from early on AI?

I don’t think it’s a shirt, I think it’s actually a plaid jacket. Look at the top of it. Could be wrong of course.

Geez itunes is a disaster. I wonder if all sales are being counted because it’s such a mess.

Is that the same plaid shirt from early on AI?

He has one similar but with white instead of black, he was using when Lynsey Parker interviewd him.

Itunes listed FYE as an album an not a song in canada too! those people need to be fired!

Somehow it continues to allude the fine people at iTunes that there is a single named FYE and yes, there will also be an album named the same thing from the artist. What maroons.

To clarify my outrage is at Drake’s mother ‘“ I could care less if Adam was dating Ferras or not.

From the first time I saw Drake’s annoyance with the paparazzi, I thought he was wrong for Adam. I figured next year, when they broke up, we would get a tell-all from Drake. Never did I think that it would come from the mother.

Many on Twitter have been sending Drake nice messages. I hope he’s ready for the onslaught if his mother starts saying negative things to the press.

And yeah, that’s not quite the same plaid shirt. His hair is much nicer than it was for Top 13, with the interview and his mom and dad. It looked nice for Hollywood, and then it just went awry (also with the black jacket Idol used for promo shots).

Thanks for DDD info.

I do feel badly for Drake, but he always looked uncomfortable with the papp. He is an artist, so he will do his own shows, but that’s different.

FYE has 1,052 rating on iTunes — in about 1 day. Almost all are 5 star ratings. We may not know what the chart rank is but that is a lot of ratings for one day!

I like seeing him happy and excited. He switches and makes eye contact with each reporter. You can see that he likes to talk, but he is also listening and watching to pick up body language.

Adam is a great interview topic. It’s no wonder that there are so many interviews of him.

I don’t get my itunes receipts right away either. It always takes 3 or 4 days. In fact, sometimes I get one and say to myself, “what did I buy again?” It’s been so long I’ve already forgotten!

Adam is definitely a great interview. My husband watched the Oprah segment with me and commented as much. He said Adam exudes charisma and that every time he has seen him interviewed he comes across extremely likable.

And I’ll add that even though I fret over this and that for Adam, after I see him interviewed I always think that he’s got it all under control and will be just fine

Many on Twitter have been sending Drake nice messages. I hope he’s ready for the onslaught if his mother starts saying negative things to the press.

I don’t control my mother. I don’t expect anybody else to do so either.

I don’t control my mother. I don’t expect anybody else to do so either.

Haha. That made me lol. But yeah Drake can’t controll his mother.

Even though the the itunes chart is not accurate (AGAIN) You can tell FYE has made progress today. The # of bars has increased enough to pass all of his songs except TfM.

wow…itunes is messed up AGAIN

I posted this comment on the 2012 premiere thread yesterday, but the tread apparently came to a sudden deadly stop, so I’ll repost here and hope it doesn’t shut this one down as well :

I just wanted to say how much I love watching Adam navigate these events’“as many have pointed out, he’s such a natural. I always think that Adam’s taken to fame like a duck to water:
He floats on top of it, nice and easy, bobbing lightly and totally in his element, and every now and then he splashes around a little and gets little glittery drops of fame all over him, shiny and sparkly, and then he grins, and shakes himself, and it all just runs right off him again (water off a ducks back) leaving him calm and natural and just as he was before. I love it. Swim, little ducky, swim !

(As someone else said yesterday–sorry can’t remember who–swim, black swan, swim!)

Saw that about 15 minutes ago. I just shake my head…

Actually that is a old snapshot of popularity…As of this morning it was 1st by a lot… Itunes is having big trouble and so is amazon…before when I was looking up MP3 standings it would not give you the list saying it was not available it is there now…It also has FYE single in both MP3 singles and Album rankings… So confusing…They have two separate offering that look exactly the same and cost the same only one is considered a single the other is considered an Album….Does anyone know if this gets fixed in the wash as far as reporting?…Anyway basically it seems there is a internet bug going around…(R2D2 not H1N1)

I don’t control my mother. I don’t expect anybody else to do so either.

Haha. That made me lol. But yeah Drake can’t controll his mother.

I wouldn’t expect anyone could.
But IMO it is not unreasonable to expect a mother to act in her child’s best interests, and that hardly includes having all their business played out across a tabloid.
It can damage a relationship forever- Jennifer Anniston can tell you all about it.

Meanwhile, while Drake doesn’t control his mother and I certainly hope that he doesn’t get nasty Tweets about what she says, I still think that her talking to Star is of teh suck.

midwifespal. ITA. This isn’t just an learned thing either. Many celebrities have been doing this for 20 years and don’t sound as natural as Adam. I could name seveveral very famous actors who are atrocious at interviews after more than 30 years in the biz.

I think this is why they had Adam at the press junket for 2012. Something that is really, really unusual for someone who only has a song in the movie. At the red (black) carpet, he seemed really in demand for interviews too. I can see why he needed his publicists there. Actually, I didn’t realize they were with him at the TII red carpet too until I viewed some vids of those.

wow’ ¦itunes is messed up AGAIN

Of course it is. iTunes is a mess.

But Adam has 1066 reviews (now his “album” is down to #29, heh), so at least the Idol bubble is paying attention.

I just wish I could get a local station in Boston to play FYE…sigh.

I’m sure that whatever is going on at itunes will not affect Adam or the sales of FYE, what it deprives us of is the joy of watching it climb up the chart. : (

Can I just say that I think the chances of this story being true, and that Drake’s mom is actually talking to Star magazine, are essentially zero. Sorry, I just don’t buy it, folks, or the stuff about Ferras, either. These mags Make Sh!t Up All The Time. So I vote stop the hating on D.’s mom without any further proof.

Drake isn’t my favourite person but geesh you’d think his mother would have a lot more respect for him than this.

LandinosMah Watching ‘General Hospital’  and they are playing @adamlambert ‘s version of ‘Mad World’  12 minutes ago from Echofon

There is a big mystery story that is happening on General Hospital. Adam’s version of “Mad World” is being used to introduce a new character and plotline. As far as I could tell, the new character is going to be played by film actor James Franco who has signed up for a 2 month long story arc. Mad World is being shown at the end of the show and intermittently throughout the show in conjunction with the “mystery” character. Good exposure for Adam. The last time I saw one of the clips, they played almost a full minute of his vocals on the song to end the show.

Sorry, I just don’t buy it, folks, or the stuff about Ferras, either. These mags Make Sh!t Up All The Time. So I vote stop the hating on D.’s mom without any further proof.

Star does make up crap all the time, and the stuff with Ferras is stupid. Adam is friends with him and has been for years, they’ve been doing stuff together for years, along with their other friends, like they were the night they supposedly went “out,” they went to a restaurant with their gang. Oh and Ferras is in Mexico right now on vacation with someone, so there’s that.

But that being said, a.) others can discuss it if they choose b.) Drake’s mother may actually talk to The Star, or she may not, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she did.

Can you imagine being a songwriter and have written or want to write the song of your dreams, but there is no one who can do justice to it.

And then there is Adam.

They are still playing mad World? Holy crap! I heard about James franco being on there. I might have to watch it now, lol. I heart him.

I just wish I could get a local station in Boston to play FYE’ ¦sigh.

Seriously. I’ve been repeating FYE (and a lot of Adam songs in general) all day today at work – and this song fits in SOOOO freaking well on pop radio today. Come on, program directors – if you can make room for Taylor Swift (snooze) and Britney, you can SURELY make room for this!

LLWD is perfect for 92.5 The River. FYE is better for Mix 104.1 and KISS 108 in Boston, but neither seems to be playing it (tho Mix has played it a couple of times).

Cool for James Franco. I really like him. Interesting that MW is being used in conjunction with his character. I am still waiting for it to play on FlashForward, b/c it would fit so well there (I know it was on their promos).

heee

Didn’t someone on this blog post a recent interview with Ferras where he talked about leaving his label. When asked about working with Adam he talked about working on Aftermath after not seeing each other since before Idol. He said he wasn’t dating at the moment. And that he was looking for someone with a “cute ass”? I swear I read that yesterday.

I don’t think Moliari is his boyfriend (though he just referred to Ferras as his bf in a tweet). I thought they were “BFFs.”

Not that it matters…I just think Ferras has a great voice and someone as talented as he wouldn’t be bad for our Adam to date.

LOL ‘“ maybe it’s just me thinking of David Cook’s sense of humor, but something tells me big plans are, like, going to buy a new plaid shirt

Well I hope he’s doing that. Or getting another one of those cute Hogwarts outfits. I recommend Slytherin colours, but then I’m partial to green.

Jonas Bro. fans are not happy that Tokio Hotel won the EMA award. Wow! I thought peeps could say hateful things to our boi but you should see the tweets from JB fans on twitter-NASTY!

So, are Molinari and Ferras toghether then? Who is Ferras with in Mexico?

Ferras is vacationing with David Hernandez.

I could throw out a quip about them all being one big pile of homo lovin’, but that could be construed as rude, stereotyping, un PC, haterade and I certainly don’t want to go there.

AAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaa! ROFLMAO! I would if I was his age!

why are we not squeeing about 19 Adam Lambert songs?????

Studio57–because EW is just royally confused and can’t count. Their “19 Songs” were taken from a list that included TFM like 3 times and FYE at least twice. I counted again to make sure, but the list they were using had the same old 14 non-repeat songs that everyone else has.

Mystery solved! Ferras is in Mexico with Gokey!

THAT is just too scary to contemplate.

How did Slezak get to 19 singles?!

*excited*

I cannot WAIT to read this. I really liked his review of Kris’s snippets. He didn’t gush (well, he sort of gushed), but I thought he did a nice recap. With Allison, I think it will pretty be “squee* *flail* and so on.

this is the link EW used to count to 19. Three TFMs, two FYEs, plus Is anybody listening and NoBo–you can’t get to 19 pretty quickly if you can’t actually add album songs. EW counting fail.

why are we not squeeing about 19 Adam Lambert songs?????

Studio57′“because EW is just royally confused and can’t count. Their ’19 Songs’  were taken from a list that included TFM like 3 times and FYE at least twice. I counted again to make sure, but the list they were using had the same old 14 non-repeat songs that everyone else has

That’s funny and sad at the same time. There may be 15 singles, tho, b/c there are 13, plus TfM, and then the Rabbit Hole track for iTunes. There is a possibility of another one, tho, from iTunes, AO/Sony, amazon, or Walmart.

If Adam is indeed with Ferras, I’m fine with that. They hang out in the same circles, have been friends for awhile, and besides, Ferras is a cutie. If Adam and Drake get back together, I’m also fine with that. I’m for whatever makes Adam happy.

was this posted? It’s David Cook singing “Little Lies” at his show last night. Before he starts singing he mentions that Adam and Kris have albums coming out soon

Midwifepal- how do you know the list they are using? I’m confused.

was this posted? It’s David Cook singing ‘Little Lies’  at his show last night. Before he starts singing he mentions that Adam and Kris have albums coming out soon

I think it was talked about before, but I think Cook’s being all cool n’crap, bears repeating. Seriously cool of him.

So continuing the fail, EW can’t count today. Classic. I blame the Yankees winning the WS.

If anyone is interested in exactly what kind of competition Kris, Adam, and Allison are going to face on their album release dates, check this grid. It includes all planned released plus the debut-week and sales-to-date totals for artists who have released a previous album:

Well the majority of the twitter world is blaming Tokio Hotel. j/k

Studio57:

I know the list because I noticed the mistake in the original review of the snippets, written by Leah Greenblatt, that EW.com posted a few days ago. Here’s the link to that review, and when she said “19 snippets” I smelled a fish, and checked her link, and the amazon link mentioned above is what it was.

http://music-mix.ew.com/2009/11/03/adam-lamberts-for-your-entertainment-sound-clips-leak/

So continuing the fail, EW can’t count today. Classic. I blame the Yankees winning the WS.

EW just tries to be at the same playground with Itune, in the game of counting.

But were your windows rolled down? And were you doing so with the rest of America?

Why, yes! Well, my driver’s side window was rolled down. Because cold ass air wakes me up

If the rest of America was doing it with me… I didn’t notice . Maybe they wanted to but they were scared. You gotta watch out, you can hurt yourself head bobbing. Or something.

So continuing the fail, EW can’t count today. Classic. I blame the Yankees winning the WS.

*round of applause for this way of thinking*

Good on Tokio Hotel. Fail on JoBros for various reasons. Maybe they will go away now.

Unless it was a mistake or I’m reading it wrong but… Wow at Flyleaf! They opened with 7K and ended up selling almost 1.3M?! Amazing!

I hope you’ll forgive me the following tongue in cheek comment (but I really mean it, hehe) : I wish Adam would allow me to pick his boyfriends. Of course I would want him with someone wonderful, but – very importantly – also someone who I personally find attractive. Drake didn’t do it for me, and Ferras is even less my type. Is it possible Adam doesn’t realize how hawt he is? It would really help me fantasy-wise if he was with someone I found sexy. OK, thanks, I’m done with that selfishness.

I’m really getting excited about the possibilities for Adam’s AMA performance. I always thought that one of the reasons I had to peel myself off the floor after Adam’s performance on the AI tour was because instead of a typical concert you ease in and out of over the course of 90 minutes, we suffered a full frontal assault for 20 minutes while he blew the roof off the place and then he was gone. I’m picturing an OTT performance where people innocently tuning in will be pinned back against their couches, wide eyed, their hair all messed up, clothes rumpled and their potato chips being blown across the room by tornado Adam. I hope if he does something naughty that goes live to the east coast they don’t clean it up before it airs out here in the west. Thank god for youtube! I. Can’t. Effing. Wait.

Every time I see a video of Cook, my heart does an extra thud. I love when someone yells out, I love you David, and he just gives them a srsly? look.

I suppose. But is Adam going to start his career playing musical beds?

AAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaa! ROFLMAO! I would if I was his age!

At least we know he uses the Durex

“I will date on tour.”

Am I the only one that thinks this is an odd “announcement?” He makes it sound like a mission statement. Was it was in answer to a question? — Was it said with a mischievous smile and an Adam wink? — Or is he trying to encourage (discourage?) fans who follow him on tour?

Oh, well, I guess this is really the only thing that matters:

I will date on tour.”

Arrrrrghhhh! Edit = FAIL! MJ we all seem to be having this problem. Is it a glitch or has the site been reconfigured so that editing is no longer an option?

So continuing the fail, EW can’t count today. Classic. I blame the Yankees winning the WS.

Is Slezak a sports fan? Somehow I doubt it.

Claude Kelly was jumpin’ up and down on Twitter though. Surprisingly, so was Lee Cherry.

‘I will date on tour.’ 

He’s trying to prepare us for the fact that he will be out and photographed with every hot hunk he can get his hands on.

I know I did would.

yeahyeahsure- that was really interesting! Lady Gaga and 30 Seconds To Mars were also low first week sales that ended up doing over a million. Wow. Just goes to show if you have good product, anything is possible.

Who can date on tour?!
I think it’s Adam’s way of subtly informing us there won’t be any [serious] dating for the time being…

@erinmccarley: @thedavidcook this is LONG overdue’ ¦thank you. I appreciate everything you have said and supported . Hopefully I can repay someday.

@thedavidcook: No thanks necessary, @erinmccarley. Just keep making great records’ ¦

Besides Erin and the previously mentioned Sara Bareilleis (sp?) and Missy Higgins, one of David’s “things you didn’t know about me” disclosures when he was an AI contestant was that he owned every single Sarah McLachlan album. So yeah, he’s a big ole female singer/songwriter fanboy. (And also why it’s so understandable that his favorite performance from his own season of AI was Brooke White’s Let It Be.)

But is Adam going to start his career playing musical beds?

Where’s the line?

‘Zactly! That’s why the wording seems so odd — “HaHa, now I can date on tour!” would make more sense. It just sounds so out of context: I broke up with my bf blahblah . . . it was mutual blahblah . . . I WILL DATE ON TOUR!” . . . huh?

So funny! Freaks N’ Geeks has been my other recent guilty pleasure next to Adam! I love the Jason Segal character, but they are all great.

Where’s the line?

Good one!!!!!!
I’m right there behind ya

You know, I follow Adam as obsessively closely as the next fan but I don’t give a rat’s ass about who he dates. I wish him happiness in love like I do everyone else. End of story. Don’t care about the details AT ALL.
Just thought I needed to share that. It will positively be the only time I will ever comment on Adam’s love life. (Unless it’s to remark on the fabulous outfit he wears on his wedding day )

Can’t figure out the blockquote thingy, but is it wrong that I’m looking forward to Adam being photographed with every hot hunk he can get his hands on? Yeesh, what has become of my life…

Found the Ferras interview I was looking for:

http://www.out.com/detail.asp?id=25433

And yes, I’m inclined to think Adam said “I will date on tour” with a wink…but we all know how things are taken out of context by the tabloids. LOL

hi guys!!! no new Adam news.I’m happy about Kris!!!

going to rl.bye:)

Adam is not dating. “Not. I’m flying solo.”

lol (good choice; very sparkly)

Also: Christmas songs? (laughter) (inaudible) How about you?

Love this guy.

Why did she ask Adam about Christmas songs?

http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/92701908/WireImage-Video

Adam is not dating. ‘Not. I’m flying solo.’ 

Also: Christmas songs? (laughter) (inaudible) How about you?

It’s:

How come you don’t have any Christmas songs?

I’m a Jew.

http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/92701908/WireImage-Video

Totally loved his response to the Christmas album……. “I’m a Jew!”
Hilarious!!

I guess I don’t understand why people think sleeping around is a good thing.

Sue he said

I’m a Jew

Clearone he can date without sleeping with them. A date does not always end with sex.

I totally loved the face Adam made when he was asked about Christmas songs. So funny.

And, of course, I loved, “I’m a Jew!”

I guess I don’t understand why people think sleeping around is a good thing.

I second that. I’m conservative though.

http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/92701908/WireImage-Video

How is everybody getting the video/interview? I only see pictures and a caption. (It does say something about installing new software so not sure I want to do that . . .)

itunes Canada – finally!!!!!!

I guess I don’t understand why people think sleeping around is a good thing.

Well, I am 45 and life had definitely slowed down. But, if I was 27, a rock star, and gorgeous……sorry, i would be having the time of my life for a couple of years before it all slowed down. If that meant playing musical beds, we would be making lots of CD’s with lots of folks.

Topic: Adam’s Range

4Msrmyn: Q3-Where does the info about the 4 1/2 octaves sung on the album come from? Thank you, in advance.

Q3: I grabbed notes from the vocal tracks and ran them through a frequency software. The range not in any one song ‘” across the album.

4Msrmyn: Q3 – Would you mind if I ask what low to high notes you found?

Q3: [H]ere is what I found.

Low C2 (certain) A1 or A#1 (with distortion so I am less confident on this lower note.)

High ‘” I have isolated a clear C#6 and a possible E6.

There are live recordings of Adam D2 to B#5 and since Adam said Cavallo pushed him farther than anyone ever had before ‘” it isn’t totally surprising.

4Msrmyn: It’s just that I’ve been watching the DDD boys argue about Adam since about March. I’ve never registered, so I don’t post or anything. I’m not qualified. Just recently though they started arguing about his range again. They knocked about an octave off the estimate of his lower range.

Q3: They can argue all they want ‘” Rob Cavallo had Adam in studio and tested Adam’s range ‘” Cavallo said was over 4 octaves ‘” every note on the guitar so that is a low of E2. Why would Cavallo make that up? Adam’s vocal coaches have said the same thing ‘” full Bari range.

I’m piping in a little late in the day, but Q3, I really wish you would post your findings at DDD. I know the guys there are extremely insular and rather don’t-bother-posting-until-you’ve proven-your-knowledge clique-ish, but I live for those range charts, and would REALLY love to see Adam’s extend on the left if those notes can be confirmed!!

[grin] Can terraj be your “in”? I belive they’ve listened to her opinion before!

I totally loved the face Adam made when he was asked about Christmas songs. So funny.

And, of course, I loved, ‘I’m a Jew!’ 

Why would anyone expect Christmas songs on his album even if he wasn’t a jew. Too funny. What was she thinking? Go talk to Archie.

am is not dating. ‘Not. I’m flying solo.’ 

I’m still not getting out of the line. I don’t want to lose my place and still have hope.

@tootheatrical
it wants to play the video with QuickTime, which is Apple version of Windows Media. If you do not have QuickTime on your computer, I am guessing it will not play. It wanted to immediately change all of my setting over to where video would be played with QT and I just said no, and it started playing.

Love this guy.

I love him too and that is a great interview. But I belive in this interview video, in answer to a reporter’s question about him recording Christmas songs, Adam says:

“Christmas songs?” [Adam makes a funny face and shakes his head "no"] (inaudible reporter follow-up) “I’m a Jew” [Adam laughs].

EW is mixed up on their song count — there has been mention of 16 FYE song tracks — 13 album tracks + TfM + Down the Rabbit Hole (iTunes bonus song) + UK/Japan bonus track produced by Greg Wells (title TBD). There is possibly a Walmart bonus track but it is not listed anywhere — including on the Walmart site where FYE [album] is on preorder.

So looks like 16 tracks.

EW has been mixed up on a number of other things regarding FYE including giving Adam co-writing credit for the Linda Perry track. So we now know that Adam can count better than EW!

BTW – it looks like it is under albums in itunes Canada – what a bunch of dumb asses

Live chat with Matt Giraud going on right now:

http://www.ainow.org/index.php/top-stories/1244-thursday-nov-5-exclusive-live-chat-with-matt-giraud

am is not dating. ‘Not. I’m flying solo.’ 

I’m still not getting out of the line. I don’t want to lose my place and still have hope.

ROFL! Don’t blame you.

is it wrong that I’m looking forward to Adam being photographed with every hot hunk he can get his hands on? Yeesh, what has become of my life’ ¦

Well Adam doesn’t seem to care, nor should he at this point. He has too much work to do, and a relationship, of however it was, that just ended. That being said, I think dating is fine and trying to find the right person usually takes people some time, and dates to do so. And Adam has said that he wants to be in love, and with somene, and from his words, doesn’t seem to value sleeping around, because he associated it with a dark time in his life.

So yeah, I wouldn’t mind seeing him with some hot guys in dates, but that doesn’t have to equal sleeping with them, and for his sake based on what he says he wants, I hope he does find someone he can love and who can love him. Seems like that’s something important to him. And as I like him, I want him to be happy. Eh.

Meanwhile, that 2012 video was cute. His face when asked about the xmas songs and his “I’m a Jew,” response was cute. As was his jacket being his date. OTP remains Adam/Jacket.

Also: Christmas songs? (laughter) (inaudible) How about you?

LOL. Listen more closely. What Adam actually says is, “I’m a Jew!”

Wow Matt is talking about Adam a lot – I’m surprised.

Did anyone, with better sleuthing skills than me, google the jacket. I think he said Rock and Republic. I went to one site and it did not have anything like that.

Twitter was wonky there for a few minutes. All Adam tweets seemed to be erased- it’s back though- anyone else finding this really weird?

I wonder if Itunes is broken or if Adam isn’t selling that much. I know, I know, don’t throw tomatoes at the screen at me. He’s at 140 on the albums now. Just saying…..maybe his fans all bought them off his site like I did. I know there are alot of ratings but I’m thinking most people don’t rate stuff, but probably fans of Idol’s rate all the time.

Actually, there was a time today that Adam was at #22 on Pop iTunes. Then *poof* he disappeared again. Imma thinkin’ it is all of the static electricity emitting from the tornado a/k/a Adamstorm. It has completely effed up Twitter, iTunes and Amazon the past couple of days.

Did anyone, with better sleuthing skills than me, google the jacket. I think he said Rock and Republic. I went to one site and it did not have anything like that.

I did the same thing and came up with the same result. nada.

okay so I have it on 23 on the POP chart and 140 on the album chart?? You know what…nevermind…this is giving me a headache!! LOL

Wow Matt is talking about Adam a lot ‘“ I’m surprised.

Two reasons: 1) true what happened; 2) he knows Adam’career is taking off, and who wouldn’t want to be associated with someone who might become a big star.

Wow Matt is talking about Adam a lot ‘“ I’m surprised.

Why?

This may be posted upthread …..A friend was listening to Ryan Seacrest on a radio station in NO and he said an announcement would be made next week (she wasn’t sure if Ryan meant on his station) regarding Adam’s tour dates and cities……shaking when she told me this. PLEASE COME TO NO or at least nearby

Yeah. You’re probably right.

Wow Matt is talking about Adam a lot ‘“ I’m surprised.

Why?

It just does and he’s doing it with questions that have nothing to do with Adam is even more surprising to me.

I got it! “I will date on tour” is an Adam anagram/code for telling us:

I will “no” (know) tour date . . . (soon?)

I got it! ‘I will date on tour’  is an Adam anagram/code for telling us:

I will ‘no’  (know) tour date . . . (soon?)

We are his dates! He will entertain us.

Q3:

Realistically, I’m just not sure that’s possible.

This looks like it may be the site that Adam talks abou:

rockandrepublic.com

@dsp

Someone else posted something along those lines about Ryan’s announcement. Although the other poster said it was to be sure and (write/text/email?) “to request that Adam come to your city.” I immediately started trying to figure out how to spam text Ryan’s website… lol

a bit off topic-did anyone else see that Leona Lewis’ Happy is being used in the movie ‘Precious’ promos? Is this song being used in th emovie.
’cause wouldn’t be bizarre if Adam and Leona songs went against each other for best song oscar? That song is beautiful and it would give TFM a run for its money…

So yeah, I wouldn’t mind seeing him with some hot guys in dates, but that doesn’t have to equal sleeping with them

That is NOT what I heard from his statement. If you are in a different city every night…pretty hard to “date” in the typical sense of the word.

If Happy is used in the movie, it will not qualify for an Oscar nomination because it was already released as a single by a major label and was not written for the movie.

I friggin hate iTunes.!!!

and about Adam dating

don’t remember the exact quote but

” it just isn’t that deep”

…….

and until the.best.album.ever.(no matter how much it sells is released;

17  days, 3  hours, 42  minutes and 3  seconds

We’re in the -teens!!!!!!!!!!!

flail

:D:D

LUV that means we are only 16 days til the AMA performance! Yeah!

Mavid reunion?! And it’s not HERE?! Poor me! LOL!

aladam-

still no banner,if you search “Adam lambert” dye is the 5th song,and he’s not in the top 100 singles

D:

alli’s 82, though……

Since iTunes is not giving us anything to talk about, and who Adam might be seeing is part of the topic, my take is Ferras “only” good friend, photo taken awhile back and just printed by gossip magazine. I think Adam will next date someone with an international heritage, European, South American etc. Worldly, creative, adventuresome, love to travel, enjoy life and not be as judgemental as some in America can be. For instance, I LOVE Brasilians, yes Brasil not the way we spell it here in the US Brazil. Anyway, until iTunes gives us something to follow that is just my opinion on his private life. How sad I am.

back to rl:(

byeeeee D:

i hope iTunes diaf…..

Sheesh iTunes has been fucked up ALL DAY. What gives?

“RT @devongallagher: I just confirmed with the Houston venue that Michael Johns is opening for David Cook in Houston!” – yeah I have no idea if this a rumor or not but it’s exciting to think about!

I agree, I thought it was a strange statement. Date on tour?
I could be completely off base but it makes me think it was a message to the local community that he does not plant to look for a bf in LA?
So, don’t get any ideas anyone? LOL. Weird I know but that’s what came to me.

I know Itunes is messed up and he is listed under the albums and not singles, but, seriously, maybe he just isn’t selling as much as we think he is. I mean singles sell more than albums and if he is only 23 on the albums chart in POP, not even overall, that doesn’t sound like he’s burning up the charts. Even TFM got to the top 10 overall singles chart and that sold, what, 50K the first week (sorry don’t remember exact figure).

I can’t wait until we get fully sold numbers, including from Adam’s site.

In other news, I got the Adam app for the iPhone, per Bridgey.

You get personal facts
America Idol (America?)
Achievements

For example:
When was Adam born
My answer: Jan 1982
Adam was born 1/29/82

Who introduce (SIC, who did this app?) Adam to music?
My answer: his dad
Correct answer: His father, who is a djay (he was, eejit, he isn’t anymore)

We know more than this app creator. Can I contact iTunes. OH, WAIT. ITUNES IF EPIC FAIL. NVM.

*sigh*

So…how can I get Adam to come to Boston? What do I have to do? What do I have to do to get ADAM’S MUSIC PLAYED HERE?!

That doesn’t look like Kris, tho. Of course Adam was the vampire. I mean, duh, right?

well I can’t edit either but the latest is the Mavid report was just a rumor. sigh

LOL at the jibjab.

Adam is holding steady at #29 on the pop ALBUM chart, but he has received 1169 reviews!!! Pretty good for a single on the album charts without a banner. ::doh::

Oh, man- that jibjab was too damn funny- my daughter thought kris was adorable with his Raaaaaawrrrrr, lol. Of course Adam was a Glampire- what else, lol.

suebrody- is that for the single that they have in the wrong place or is it the actual album preorder?

Thanks for the update. How do the reviews look overall? Do they sway toward the positive (I hope!)?

Im surprised FYE is not doing well on ITUNES. I love the song.

FYE is KILLING. It has five stars from nearly everyone. Tee hee. (It’s the pop chart, #29, single on the album chart, but the reviews are *there*–I supplied one 8))

Gemini- There is no way of telling how it is doing- even the #29 rating has been stuck since yesterday, and we have no idea if it is being compared to albums or singles. It shows up nowhere on the live feed singles chart.

Thank you, suebrody! So it’s doing great in terms of reviews and pretty well in terms of ranking for a song that was just released there yesterday and has been under the wrong heading for most that time?! I figure that many, if not most, Adam fans already ordered it when it was first released last Friday. I know I did (although I bought another copy on I-Tunes, too — just because). If it’s holding at 29 on Itunes, I’m hoping that means that some people outside Idol fandom are starting to become interested in it.

Being a Jew didn’t stop Elliott from making a Christmas Album, I was surprised but to his credit he stayed away from the real religious songs. I think Adams voice would be beautiful on some Christmas music but I’m sure he’s not going there. Anyone heard what the Walmart and Target bonus tracks are for Adam’s CD. I may have to download I-turnes and buy the others to get all the songs, oh well it’s Adam so it’s worth it,

How do you guys find that live feed? People have sent it to me, but I’m curious as to how it was found.

‘I will date on tour.’ 
“Am I the only one that thinks this is an odd ‘announcement?

I agree, I thought it was a strange statement. Date or tour
I could be completely off base but it makes me think it was a message to the local community that he does not plant to look for a bf in LA?
So, don’t get any ideas anyone? LOL. Weird I know but that’s what came to me.

Not that weird! Everybody knows everybody in the gay/entertaiment/club community in LA so it wold be kind of like deciding not to date anyone in the office! But I also got to thinking: maybe they quoted it wrong and he actually said “I won’t date on tour.” As in, he’s too busy, too tired, and it didn’t work out all that great last time. (Just a caveat to all this: I’m really not all that interested in who/when Adam will be dating; just thot the phrasing of the statement was odd and couldn’t figure out what he meant by it.)

suebrody

Since the itunes charts are all messed up again today, we don’t know for sure that FYE is actually #29 on the pop singles chart, right? We are just guessing?

We have no idea where FYE is. ITunes hasn’t updated and has charts up from early yesterday. The last updated chart had it at #44. FYE is under the wrong category and has no banner so I wouldn’t be surprised if it lost ground. Pick a number between 1 and 300.

This thread looks like porno chat. Where is live Adam naked camera stream ,

Ok EDIT is back, but it’s really weird — question marks are in front (I think they are quotes?) and you can’t move lines with “Enter” . . . and the “edit” text looks nothing like what was posted so you can’t tell what you’re doing.

Too true, Clearone. Though I did speculate that maybe it was a “secret” tour announcement, that if we read between the lines (or actually delete between the lines!), Adam is telling us this:

‘I will date on tour.’ 

Well, it’s #29 (again) on the iTunes ALBUM pop chart, tho it does specify that it is a SINGLE (so again, bizarro). I have no idea where it is, of course, b/c no one does, but the number of reviews is impressive. A lot of Glamberts must have checked in (and if it was from outside the Idol Bubble, so much the better!!!).

OMG, me, too, with Adam. MORE GLAMPIRE, MORE GLAMPIRE.

So…his album drops…er…in 2 weeks, 4 days, is that right? And I still cannot get any local stations to play FYE or TfM. I have not harassed them, just requested it on their websites. NADA CITY.

I have all of the season on my DVR. I cannot bear to delete any episodes (I start with Top 36, Adam’s group, #2, and then it goes to Top 13–sorry, Matty G, I deleted the Wild Card round before I knew who you were). Maybe I will go watch an episode (perhaps MW/ACIGC, Top 2?) for the 100th time. Nah, I’ll watch TfM video instead. Too bad you can’t request it on the VH-1 website, where it’s streaming.

I have all of the season on my DVR.

I would killsell my soul do anything for a copy of those. They really should market a S8 box set.

lol, squirrely. If you ever wanna come over to watch, let me know. I do not know how to convert DVR shows or I would (can you?). I agree–they should sell box sets. I deleted S7 (COOK!), even the finale. I was so upset. This will NOT happen for S8. I guess I might not be taping S9, so there better not be another Adam. Oh, pshaw. There will NOT be another Adam.

Oh and Slezak hurry up! You said you’d post Kradam reviews today and you put up a review of Kris’ snippets and thats all well and good but I want to know what you think of Adams’.

Squirrely (and others) — I don’t remember why the Lambrits site was mentioned before, but it might help with the waiting/frustration/soul selling: there is a steady music (only) stream with the 2 singles, a couple of tour songs and some AI performances (studio) songs — and the page itself has lots ‘o nice visuals of Adam in all his glory diversity!

Can someone tell me how to get to the area to write and read reviews on iTunes please. I, of course, gave it 5 stars but can not figure out how to write a review.

Well there has to be some reason to his mentioning a tour……..but what and when?

Forgot to mention, I was just on iTunes, FYE still #29 under pop albums,(just like friend suebrody says it does say single) Maybe everyone is waiting to buy the entire album?

Good on Tokio Hotel. Fail on JoBros for various reasons. Maybe they will go away now.

No such luck!

You can watch episodes of glee on hulu.com. Like the last five episodes I think. I recorded the season 7 and 8 finale the old fashion way on VHS tapes.

GoCheeksGo Aquarius is the water bearer …An aquarius is presently bringing me a glass of water. I see astrology everywhere!

hmmm isn’t Adam an Aquarius? I’m bored so I’m making excitement wherever I can.

Can someone tell me how to get to the area to write and read reviews on iTunes please. I, of course, gave it 5 stars but can not figure out how to write a review.

I did it on my iPhone. If you click on the song, it says 370 review (which, of course, is wrong). So then I clicked on it, and it says, 5 stars is the average of 1073 ratings (WOOT). The there is a space that says Write a Review, and that’s where I did it.

Thanks re: the Lambrits site. That is something!!!!

Oh, and if you go to the VH-1 site, you can watch TfM video (and Carrie’s for Cowboy Casanova), but it isn’t the easiest thing to find, SHOCK. I do not know how to request it, tho, to be played on the air. Will need to investigate that.

squirrely, I have my DVR thru comcast. It costs $12.99/month, but I swear it’s worth it. Once you have it, you can’t go back. I have seen every episode, but I didn’t really pay attention (except for Adam–I actually did, the way I did with Daughtry and Cook) until the Top 36 results show. (I mean, getting into the Top 36.) I wish I had paid more attention, so I could see the Kris sing-off. Oh, well. And I don’t have the results show except for Top 8 (MATT!) and then Top 5-finale.

Squirrely,

Suebrody is right, I go TIVO two years ago as a present from my college aged son and it was the best gift I ever got.

BUT in the meantime, here are the Adam performances minus the result shows:

Thank you for the iTune info, I will try again to find the “write a review”, I was frozen out of here for the past half hour, anyone else?

Apple launched a whole new section yesterday called Music Movies. I wonder if the update to their backend systems in order to accommodate this had unexpected consequences. Databases can be a hairy minefield, especially considering the enormous volume of realtime data that iTunes processes. It does suck that it’s taking them this long to fix it, though.

http://bit.ly/7WOM9

Squirrely and others, if you want to check out a site that during the season gives free downloads and now will sell you a set of DVD’s with all your favorite Idol contestant performances and extras go to http://www.IdolJunkie.com and click download page. On the left hand side of the screen will appear a menue and click shop Idols. You can even get ones from season 7,6 and 5, I believe. I have ordered from her before and just ordered Adam’s as I’m afraid I might loose them on my computer some time. The prices range from $12 to $20, but to me it was worth it.

Suebrody is a HERO, I wrote my review! Now figure out how to get the man and his song to #1 overall.

*humble bow*

Im surprised FYE is not doing well on ITUNES. I love the song.

I’m not. There’s no promo and it’s listed as an album. Plus it got released in the middle of the week.

Also #29 on pop album charts isn’t very good at all. First of all it’s pop charts and not overall, so I bet it’d be a lot lower overall. AND, most importantly, ITunes sells a lot more singles than albums, I think as much as 10x the amount, so it’s a lot easier to do well on the album chart. The actual amount of copies being sold is probably low.

Also, five star ratings probably just means that only the hardcore fans have been buying the song. It probably has nothing to do with the song’s quality
(although I love FYE myself

Yup, I’m Debbie Downer today (or realistic, whichever floats your boat). That said, I’m glad the single is finally on ITunes, and hope that next week a nice pretty banner will kick in, along with radio play.

Adam’s FYE is #1 on EW magazine’s Must Have of the week. (there’s a screencap here) Pretty cool.

Plus, MTV has an upcoming interview with Glee cast members where Lea (who plays Rachel) apparently geeks out over Adam. Double cool.

Didn’t Q3 say that the charts were frozen or something? Or is that no longer true…

Lol I think she’s done this at least 3 times now. I hope she DOES get to duet with him, it would be amazing

Didn’t Q3 say that the charts were frozen or something? Or is that no longer true’ ¦

Are they? I wouldn’t know. If so, then good!.

Also the edit function is being a total b. Random spacings, pressing the left arrow key makes you go right and vice versa, and so on… I’m sure it’ll be fixed soon though.

Lol I think she’s done this at least 3 times now. I hope she DOES get to duet with him, it would be amazing

I think she got the tip from Adam – if you gush enough about it, you’ll finally get what you want (hue Adam’s collaboration with Gaga and Pink).

Are they? I wouldn’t know. If so, then good! But I still doubt FYE is selling a lot right now.

I doubt it is too since it’s only just started on radio, but yeah, as far as we know, the charts are still having serious issues. They’ve been completely frozen all day, and one of Carrie’s singles was in two spots at once at one point, and FYE was at #44 on the main chart and then disappeared a second later, which I’m pretty sure is impossible.

itunes just seems to be having major issues this whole week.

Random comment is random, but from Adam’s album, the actual album and not single that iTunes still has incorrectly classified and who knows where it is at really in the charts…anyhew, one of the songs that is staying in my head since first listening to the clips is “What Do You Want From Me,” which was one of my least favourite songs of the CD. Odd. The other song that I have in some sort of strange conjunction with it is “Strut.”

Im surprised FYE is not doing well on ITUNES. I love the song.

I’m not. There’s no promo and it’s listed as an album. Plus it got released in the middle of the week.

Oh and a day (or two) later than people were saying it would be available. People weren’t able to find it searching for the artist, it wasn’t on the top of his song list. He has no ad with it. And yes, there isn’t a lot of radio play to support it right now. So yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised, wack-ass iTunes or not, that it isn’t doing well. Or maybe it’s doing okay and we just don’t know. I hope first and foremost iTunes gets it’s crap together and soon. I also hope they get an ad/banner for it and that RCA starts making a push for this song.

And I don’t consider it Debbie Downerdom, but realism as well. But no doubt I’m considered a Debbie Downer by many, so my view might not be worth much. Oh wells, guess I have to turn in my Adam fancard.

We’re not the only ones noticing iTunes fucking up. And people in the UK’s Buzzjack forum are saying that the feeds are jacked worldwide, although of course internet forum = grain of salt.

The UK Buzzjack forum’s US iTunes thread started noticing yesterday, about 3/4 down the page:

Well a girl can hope can’t she??

I wonder why the iTunes meltdown hasn’t made the news? It’s significant when such a big player in the music biz goes bonkers. The MSM haven’t picked up on it yet– and I think Apple is trying to keep a lid on it. Hence, no explanation to customers as to what’s going on.

I think the media base chart is behind too. One of my local stations WPRO out of Providence RI (big New England station) has FYE on their playlist. Looks like he’s getting spins through the wee hours on stations too. For some weird reason that’s where they start new adds.

Roger Taylor from Queen talks about Adam

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/breakfast/8346221.stm

Edit is weird, this is a pretty good interview.

I agree with Roger that George Micheal’s cover of somebody to love is excellent.

Roger screwed up Adam’s last name, but he got the first name right

I should be sleeping

Wow, Roger Taylor saying Adam has “one of the greatest voices I’ve ever heard”! Pretty amazing

FYE the album is now back up to number 8 on Amazon, green arrow and all.

Lovely interview with Brian May. His comments about Adam ounded like there had been recent discussion of an actual collaboration. Hope so!! Love that he called him “one of the greatest voices I have ever heard” even if he did get his name wrong. I guess even astrophysists have their off days.

Lizzie, that was Roger Taylor aka Roger Bolton.

Thanks, Squirrely, for posting the link. I found the entire interview pretty interesting.

Roger screwed up Adam’s last name, but he got the first name right

Lol. Can’t wait for this Adam Bolton chap to come visit us…

Roger seemed surprised that the interviewers knew about that Idol encounter, but then perhaps he didn’t know that there were quite a number of news stories about it in the British online media at the time, making the Adam-to-replace-Freddie leap – nonsense of course, but it made an interesting angle for the British press.

Nice mention, anyway. Roger and Brian sure seem to have been impressed by him, and it sounds like the door is open for a future collaboration of some sort – as a one-off I would love that to happen

Is this interview recent- he sure did talk like they still wanted Adam to work with them.

Just checked Itunes live feed and it looks like it is now current time wise but nothing on the chart has changed yet- I’m going by Allison’s chart position which has stayed at 82 for 3 days now.

WOW!! I’m completely thrilled by this, Roger has made my morning!

Fantastic to hear Adam mentioned on our breakfast TV. Fail though on the f*** up of his name. LOL

If they had done their research that well they could’ve corrected him. Oh well.

That could get the papers buzzing again with talks of collaborations. Wonder if Adam will start getting asked the Queen collab question again in upcoming interviews..

Thank you Sqiurrely for the link to the interview with Roger Taylor..I have always loved Queen and I’m thrilled that they may be performing with Adam “Balton”..love how Roger said that Adam is a phenomenal singer with the greatest voice he has ever heard and they want do something with him in the future.

I just wish someone would explain it. I am really pissed that we don’t know how Adam did- and no I don’t think that rating on the pop chart means diddly squat. It was from 3 days ago while his song was rising up the charts.

Either way, i do think 19E is biding their time with the radio blitz until closer to the AMA’s. I really think the AMA’s are supposed to be Adam’s official debut of sorts. He is going to be all over the place just like Carrie was this week.

The singles have changed. Rihanna is now listed at number 1. I think the only thing that is still screwed up is Adam listed under albums and not as a single.

It’s one of those mornings Studio – and is it just me or is editing really freaky.

I just edited my last comment okay, but the edit box is different.

I hope you get bobulated soon

I think Rihanna has been #1 on the pop chart for awhile, but when the system was fixed for that split second she was #1 on the overall chart too but when it gets screwy she reverts back to #2 and FYE disappears and TFM is stuck at #150 and that should be either rising or falling.

thanks adamaloha re Roger Taylor. Duh. I guess I’m discombobulated too. jet lagged due to flight from NYC to Tokyo. best excuse I’ve got. It’s nothing to do with AL scrambling my brains.

I tried to get into itunes just now and they said the “store is unavailable” so hopefully it is on the mend. We’ll never know how FYE did in the last few days.
