P2's "Home" not only got big boost from NBC's choosing it as its Olympics song. But I just read that the song will be featured in a new Clint Eastwood (he loves Mitt) movie. Obviously P2's label is
more aggressive than RCA in its promotion efforts.

Another non-Adam song as a single? No thanks. It's Adam's turn to shine  |

Comparisons are something I can't resist.
Gotye has had one of the biggest POP hits of the last year, and one of the most viewed youtube
videos ever. You would think that would translate to sold out concerts.
Well, I just got an offer of half-off tickets ($20 down from $40) for his concert in Chicago at a 7500 seater.
Yes, I know Adam didn't have complete sell-outs at his most recent gigs, but he hasn't had the radio play that Gotye has had in the past year.
All I'm saying is that radio play doesn't automatically make you a big concert attraction. On the other hand, Gotye wouldn't be touring the US if his single hadn't been pumped out over the airwaves so relentlessly.

Whatever this job is in Sept. he's accepted, and happy with it. I can't wait to hear the official annoucement from him! I won't be disappointed whatever it is. I'm just happy for him. I must say i'm not fond of silver hair, but his smile shines through. The man is glowing within. ..  ITA - except I don't mind the hair.  |

P2's "Home" not only got big boost from NBC's choosing it as its Olympics song. But I just read that the song will be featured in a new Clint Eastwood (he loves Mitt) movie. Obviously P2's label is more aggressive than RCA in its promotion efforts. The label had nothing to do with HOME being used in the Olympics... An NBC Sports producer just happens to have a daughter who works on Idol….. Michaels, the brother of sports broadcaster Al Michaels, says he was turned onto the song back in May by his daughter, Megan Michaels, who is a supervising producer on American Idol. “My wife and I were actually sitting at home watching the finale,”he says, “and I heard the song for the first time, and I said to her, “Wow, I bet I could use that in the Olympics on some night.” As luck would have it, the next day a man named Myles Lewis, who works for 19 Entertainment (which manages many Idol alums), reached out to Megan to ask if she knew anyone working on the Olympics. “She said, ‘Yeah, I do – my dad,’” laughs Michaels. Source: MJS Big Blog -- And the song was place with Clint Eastwood by the publisher not Universal. -- The performer gets nothing for these placements except the royalties on any track sales - this is all about the writers. P2 does not have a writing credit. |

www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/09/mariah-carey-triumphant_n_1760994.htmlSpeaking of singles, and Idol judges, apparently Mariah's new single, out only a few days, has already been judged a failure per this article in Huffington Post. Apparently, radio will not play a song until it hits the Top 10 on iTunes - and it better make Top 10 as soon as it's released. This makes me concerned for the release of the next Adam single, and is why I asked about the problem of iTunes sales for songs already purchased on an album. I still think a "PLL remix" would help. That means even if Adam is going to get the Idol job, lots of other promos have to be done for the next single, and we haven't heard about them yet. I wish Adam will be performing the new single on the VMAs, the Do Something awards, will be interviewed and perform on may other shows. |

Naked Love can be the 6th single Actually (sorry, Kanadie :-[) if I had to pick the song I'm most indifferent to on entire album (and that's tough, because I never skip any songs, seriously) it's Naked Love. I like it. It's catchy and fun, but just kind of flat for me emotionally. I had this same feeling for NCOE for the longest time. Ended up really liking the final album version and still do, but there is still something missing for me (for you) on an emotional resonance level. The songs Adam wrote truly do grab me more even when I'm totally not thinking about it. However, I know there are many who agree with the "Naked Love" love, for sure. |
