10.24.12 Adam on PLL, Tracks and Albums head up!

You're too Quick .. #47 ;D

Adam is truly a down to earth star! He didn't use valet parking at the Taste restaurant; instead pix of him loading the meter. I'm also glad he can still eat outside, knowing the paps are going to be out.

Loved PLL last night, Adam, of course, and the show reminds me of a cross between Dark Shadows and an updated Facts of Life, with a dash of Twilight.

The lesbian storyline is certainly modern, but I didn't like the fact that a villain was black. I didn't really see any major black characters, but like they include Asian (at least non-Wasp) female characters.

ETA: Not that I think every show has to have a United Nations look, but I watched it from my mom's point of view of watching it with my kids (now 34/36) and the "black villain" with the knife stereotype is one I would have brought up if they didn't. I didn't censor what they watched, but always watched with them or worked nearby while they watched to be able to talk through real/make-believe, people in real life get hurt/die in fights and when weapons are used, etc. I know I was a pre-helicopter mom of sorts, but discussing alternative scenarios and other decision options became "normal" in their reasoning styles. It also helped set up discussion rather than shouting mode in their teens. Now, I will step-down from lecturing in Parenting 101, and connect to Adam by saying I think his parents did an outstanding job, judging by the results. ;D

I think Cuckoo may just be connecting better with the younger demo. Funny thing, Cuckoo was never my favorite (yeah, I had a little trouble with the "Cuckoo" in the chorus) but my young kids liked it immediately. My five year still insists that Cuckoo is one of the songs they dance to on the Disney Channel show "Shake It Up," which is totally not true, lol, but goes to show just how current and "familiar" the sound is. It sounds like something you would hear on the radio.

It is really too bad RCA /DMG didn't anticipate better the great response Adam got from PLL. A few other "smart" TV appearances this week could have continued the momentum.

So fun to see all the movement on iTunes! See, when people actually hear the music they respond.

Yes RCA seems to always be playing catch up.. that's when they even think about it. :-/ Although it may be Adam's management team that gets the gigs.. I would love to see Adam on Glee or another musical TV show.. gosh .. the fit would be great.
