    How did Adam selling half as many singles after an Idol appearance as Stefano turn into a big deal. I’m confuzzled. ;0

    I don’t know how it became the subject.  I don’t think that anyone can predict how many singles he will sell after the performance.  I just know that it makes no sense to expect someone to sell the same amount of a single that’s not getting a lot of airplay as they did of a single that was getting a lot of spins, and that would be familiar to people, even if they were not fans of Adam’s.

    I’m even more confused.  Are you pretending this actually happened or is it a prediction?

    I agree about Kris Allen, something doesn’t sound right. He is not getting the proper credit for his music. The Vision of Love is a great song and RCA should be really promoting this song and his upcoming CD. I will buy Kris’s new CD!

    I think Kris Allen is not being promoted very well by RCA. His new song is really good and should be a big hit. I don’t think it is getting the airplay it deserves, while most radio stations play the same 10 songs over and over and over. I will buy Kris’s new CD I think he is a real talent! I also think something is fishy too concerning his CD sales for the Vision of Love.
