Oookay... After watching Sauli, moving on...
Why is it that everyone's saying that we should buy the songs separatedly on iTunes and then maybe buy the EP on Amazon? What does buying the songs separatedly do? Does it count like many different sales even though it's just for one same person?
??? ??? ??? ???

Kamar, I think we are all still processing the new picture and the talk just has not started yet. But let me join you, because the picture in all its beauty actually struck some other thoughts in me: 1) The sun is trespassing through Adam's face. Or is Adam trespassing through the rays of the sun? Adam is standing still, so how can he be the one who is trespassing? It is the sun that is moving. So, it must be the sun that is trespassing through him. Adam just by standing in the public eye the way he is and by not shrinking from its debates, is trespassing and allows others to trespass via him. 2) The coat, with its tight waistline and the position of the arms creates an almost female silhouette. The hat and the jawline and the short hair create a male silhouette. Our eyes tend to move back to the face, looking for resolution to this visual dialogue, but the face is illuminated in a way that does not allow for an answer but at the same time transcends the male-female question. 3) It is dawn in this picture. Perhaps the dawn of a post-gay era, which Adam is standing for. 4) But the process is not complete. Neither is the Trespassing itself complete, nor is Adam yet complete. ==> Missing lines in the lettering. 5) Adam's career is based on his vocals. Those are created by mouth and nose, exactly those parts the sun is hiding from us. It creates of course a desire to see that nose and that mouth and hopefully to also hear what normally comes from them. Lee Cherry is truly the best when it comes to Adam. Just some ideas jotted down to kick the ball that Kamar started a bit further. Who is next?  WOW Woman , that was amazing !! great analyzing !!! Now that's very interesting . Lee Cherry is a genius (plus I like his last name , yummy ;D) . Adam is a genius . At first I was like "huh ?, where is his beautiful face ?" But now I realize just how fierce ans classy and artistic and deep it is . Oh Adam , you never fail to amaze me . Special thanks to Gabby for making this wonderful avvy , and for helping me putting it  Hello there , Nid55 , COME OUT AND PLAY !! |

What does buying the songs separatedly do? Does it count like many different sales even though it's just for one same person? ??? ??? ??? ??? Mys*&@^#r talked about that earlier too. We want Trespassing the single to chart as high as possible on i-tunes, because the i-tunes sales statistics have high visibility, if something is top 10 on itunes, it is displayed on that front page that everyone wants to be on, because it tends to trigger follow-on sales. And the i-tunes charts are watched by industry experts and are often quoted, etc. The issue is, if you buy the whole EP as one piece (or complete the album, if you already have certain parts), then this counts in the album charts and not the single charts. In fact, if you already have a specific version of Trespassing and now press complete the album on i-tunes, then this will actually count as minus one (-1) on the single charts, because that is how they account for that. They take back the one single purchase made earlier and instead book it as an EP sale. The EP sales statistics itself are though not terribly interesting from a marketing standpoint. This is not going to chart in any useful way. Of course the value of the sale benefits the record label and helps cover costs, etc., but there is not as much value to the album statistic, except if you can chart very high, which a remix EP is unlikely to do. So, the idea that people are suggesting is to buy singles, but not the complete album on i-tunes and then go to Amazon and buy the number of EPs that you want to have. Also, there will be singles gifting going on i-tunes to go around the one purchase only rule. So, you can either donate to be a gifter or you can accept donations (in US) and then download singles that have been gifted to you. A few folks are coordinating this, because to make a good impact on i-tunes we need to organize it such that it all happens at once. adamlambertstorm.com/Hope that helps to understand. |

" The sun is an emblem of glory and brilliance. It is also a symbol of authority. It represents happiness, life and spirituality "
As Adam says in "Trespassing"
" I don't need no sympathy , I won't cry and whine , Life's my light and liberty , and I'll shine when I wanna shine "
Kinda makes sense , eh ?
Cheriemelissa Thank you !! you have no idea how much I love your avvy too !! Dragon Attack !!
