Here is a funny little sentence I just saw on Daily Kos from someone liveblogging the Republican Convention. "Re: Danny Gokey: So that's what happens to runner-runner-ups on American Idol?" Now then, I would love to see Adam singing at the Democratic Convention....that would be lovely! HAHAHA!!! You beat me to it! Adam would certainly wake everybody up! |

Any idol news today at all? Has Nicki been signed? Has Keith been signed? Has AI started talking to Enrique? All still just rumors. |

LOL I'm just trying to figure out WHO told him to clean up his tweets. The producers at Idol? His own management people?  My bet would be Shoshanna ;D She usually tweeets about Adam's tweets and she didn't even acknowledge that he had a twitter party yesterday! She was mum!
Honestly, I think if Adam wasn't in an Ambien-induced state he would've probably never answered some of the questions the way he had, although it did make me feel warm & fuzzy that he treated us like his fruit flies, even it was a result of Ambien & jet lag.
We all have to do some "code-switching" at one point or another, more often if you have a wide variety of associations and encounters. IMO, Adam is proved to be VERY GOOD at presenting himself accordingly at various situations, but sometimes, he still needs mum!  |

I just read Enrique's Wikipedia Biography... Very surprising and amazing
information.. who knew.
My feeling is Enrique will not take only a few million from Idol,but In the
event that he does ,I will feel less upset if Adam doesn't get the gig.
I will understand. Just saying. I also went to YouTube to listen to his
music, I really want to understand who Adam may be up against.
I got a bit of an education.I want Adam to be the judge more than
anything and hope he gets the job,but I wanted to know that if he
he lost, he lost to another worthy performer.

Both the Fun and Gotye songs were featured on Glee (and in Fun's case a Superbowl ad I think) before they had massive chart success - that is what gave them the exposure then people started buying. Wasn't mainstream radio for sure... I"ve said a couple of times I would rather hear Glee cover Trespassing (or any song on album really) than see Adam locked into AI (don't mean this as a signal to debate the relative merits of each option but if you really feel you must #carryon). Glee has covered hundreds of songs and the overwhelming majority of them do not go on to become hits of any kind, nor does it break new songs onto the charts for any amount of time to matter. Mainstream radio picked up on the Gotye song from its iTunes placement and the fact that it was #1 on Alt. Rock stations- it had nothing to do with Glee. We Are Young was also a big hit on Alt. Rock and crossed over from there. We are Young is the only "new song" by an unknown artist to be performed on Glee. The show gave a nice sized bump to the Fun song, but not enough to matter for long. The BIG factor was the Superbowl commercial. After that, the song stayed at #1 or in the top 3 on iTunes for weeks, so radio had to pay attention to it. By the time Glee did STIYTK, it was already a big hit and high on iTunes. The week Glee covered it, P2 performed it in a duet on Idol and Gotye was on SNL. It was the perfect storm! The long term benefits of Adam being on TV for 4-6 hours a week on the #1 rated show in the US far outweighs a solitary performance by a group of kids on a show that covers hundreds of songs a year. Night crew, what do you think about Gotye's and fun. 's songs? Why many people buy these songs? Which Adam's song has the potential to connect to that many people? |

In terms of pop culture, women have a license to be bi, and to experiment. Men do not, unless they are Latin. Everyone knows Latin men are oversexed. Seriously.
And now I see the comment I was responding to seems to have disappeared!
