Will there be a pool to predict whether the TBD titles will include the word “heart” or some derivation of it (heartbreak, etc)? LOL :smile1_ee:

^^ “xxx…for some reason, Ramiele didn’t have as many fans here as Jasmine did, it was all about the Davids last year.”

It would be difficult to surpass or even just match the popularity of the Davids in the Philippines….even after Season 8…..

She got a lot of endorsements in the Phillipines (including McDonald’s) and her album went platinum there. She is currently doing some television show there.

she is? haha I haven’t heard of her in here for FOREVER. last I heard she is a judge for a reality show in Hawaii but I forget the name. I thought Ramiele would also capitalize on the newfound fame among Filipinos like Jasmine did but she wasn’t able to do anything here as well. for some reason, Ramiele didn’t have as many fans here as Jasmine did, it was all about the Davids last year.

I am so excited for Brooke, Jason, Adam and Archie albums!!!!!

I’m worried about Kris album compared to Jason Castro’s.

Atlantic is happy about Jason.There behind him 101%.They update his site.I think hes getting the best help for his album.Jive isnt behind Kris.Jive doesnt
bother to do anything but let kris be pushed aside.He wont get promoted or
the respect from jive that he needs.

I thought Archie’s sophomore record was dropping this fall too?

Delayed to Q1 or Q2 2010.

i am very excited for Jason Castro’s album to come out. I think we all will have a better idea on how he will do when the first single is released …from what i have heard his tunes are catchy, and easy to listen to…….I always thought he had potential to be a superstar…he has the package…looks, talent, charm…plus his music has worldwide appeal….so I now wait to see how things go

Let’s see, with albums coming out by Brooke, Phil, Kris, Allison, Daughtry, Kat, Archie, and Carrie, I think I am going to be dead broke by Christmas!

^^^ Eh, while I don’t find Mansfield to be as entertaining (or insightful) as Ken Barnes, he gets the numbers and some inside scoop. So, there’s that.

I’m looking forward to many of these albums. Should be a fun fall!

I added Allison Iraheta, also signed by 19R with her castmates Kris Allen and Adam Lambert, to the list’â€œnot sure why Brian left her off.

This guy is an idiot. I turned to his writings a couple of times in the season. Inane ramblings, prejudice, bias, nonsense. Deficient in music knowledge. There seemed little to no reason for many of his actions/inactions. I suggest readers here find an alternate blog, live feed and followup to follow. You are NOT going to get a fair report from Mansfield. Horrible! Horrible!

Hey MJ! I just remembered the other imminent “releases” from S7 that I most anticipate are the coming singles releases from We Are the Fallen (Carly Smithson.) Was it two singles every two months, or one, I don’t recall? But I know I’m looking forward to them alot!

Atlantic is extremely excited about Jason and is pulling out all the bells and whistles to promote him, rest assured! I think with Jason’s release trying to be slated for early to mid October, and Adam’s and Kris possibly November like most Idol winners, and finalists before them, i’m not worried about the effect on sales. Jason’s fan following is bigger and more loyal then you think! I think Atlantic is realizing this more and more too! They were very impressed with the structure that Jason’s official website already had in place in terms of a street team, and they are working alongside with them to make this CD huge.

brie200- I hope my comments didn’t make it seem like I was doubtful of Jason making it because I do think he can find success. I was just thinking that this might be the first “star” to make it outside the Idol bubble.. as long as Atlantic markets him properly that is!

I was just on itunes and noticed Jordin’s album has a different cover. I’m not sure it’s better than the other one. At first impression it seems like it’s Lady Gaga wannabee with that thing in the eye. Her songs also sound lady Gaga wannabee, so I’m curious to see what’s gonna happen with her.
And it doesn’t seem people are that interested in pre-ordering her album. Which may not mean they won’t be interested in buying it when it’s released.

AC, based on the songwriters they have hooked Jason up with I do think they are seemingly pushing Jason at mainstream/Top 40. I can’t say whether Atlantic will be successful at that in any capacity or whether Jason will be successful, but the songwriters they have Jason working with are hitmakers. These are people working with some of the bigger names in pop at the moment. I don’t have the list in front of me, but it’s pretty impressive.

Speaking of Kris, there is some overlap in people they have worked with. I know Claude Kelly (My Life Would Suck Without You) had tweeted about working with both Jason and Kris.
