You don't know what the majority of the people think or else his albums and singles wouldn't still do well in Spain, and they do. You are speaking for "the majority of the people". It's like when people say " everyone thinks Bieber or One Direction" is a joke. The facts and figures say otherwise. Now, everyone that person knows may think their a joke, but that doesn't mean that millions of other people feel like those in their little world feel. If you want, come to Spain and do a survey at a busy street. It's totally an attitude thing, not a figures thing. But you may think whatever you want to think. As I said, I don't make generalizations based only on the people I know.  In Spain, platinum is 60.000 copies out of a population of 48 millions, by the way. Enrique has his loyal fanbase since he began, which is big enough, of course. But the rest of the people don't take him too seriously, and that's a fact too. It doesn't help that he doesn't really come over here anymore. He did a concert in May this year, and it was the first concert in 12 years. He's very big internationally, but in Spain we don't have that vision of him, and whenever it's mentioned that he's a big superstar overseas everybody gets very surprised. There's no malice, of course, everyone wishes him the best. But his international fame is kind of surprising for the average Spaniard, 'cause we just don't see him that way. No thanks, no more than I would want to do a survey on the street about Adam. That isn't going to tell me anything. Facts, figures, stats and chart positions tell me what I need to know.  Platinum is platinum. The amount of units needed is going to vary with the population of different countries. Just because it takes less to go platinum in a smaller country, doesn't make that distinction any less of an honor. How Enrique is seen is Spain in or out of context wouldn't concern idol. He's not considered a joke in the US, and Idol is a US show. Is idol even aired in Spain? So true. They aren't going to be watching it anyhow. AI is concerned about the ratings here in the US. It's all about the money they make for a 30 second advertising spot, nothing more! It's ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, it's not personal! |

Don't be sad! IF that Idol door really closed, then... think about this... Adam will be on Fashion Police, then Pretty Little Liars and he just put out the single that is gonna blow up the radio...everyone loved Trespassing on itunes when the cd first came out. As Adam said, "Trust A Bitch"!! |

Well, I happen to think that figures, stats and chart positions are relative. Different point of views, I guess. |

It would be funny if we later learn that Adam turned down the judge job which was then offered to Enrique......

I will say, even though it did not end like I hoped, I am very glad the ups and downs of this Idol speculation is over. That was emotionally draining.

[/IMG] [/quote] I was able to get 5 votes in each time before the vote button disappeared, but I am not sure if it is counting my votes or not. On the page it said: We'll play TRESPASSING on Monday at 9:00pm if Glamberts can get 1000 "yes" clicks by Monday at 5pm! One VOTE per unique IP address!A few people have emailed and said they can't see a button to vote. If someone else in your office or local network has already clicked, it will not allow you to vote because of the IP address. Read more: www.b104.com/iplaylist/artist/1152615/#ixzz25ns3GePx |
