I always look for Brian's smile at 3:45 following AFL's incredible vocals and the audience's applause. |

That's what I am wondering. Aren't radio gigs usually short sets? Would Queen really bring gear to the US for one short set? Could there be a few/some other Queenbert event going on to coincide with this - assuming this rumor ends up true... So many questions:-) Clearchannel would not book Queen for this event unless they had a CHR single out. They do not. Expect them to announce JT, Taylor Swift, Bruno, and other current CHR artists.** Kamar, the news will be on US time. And it could be from Shirley Halperin on Billboard.com. www.billboard.com/author/6762 which means probably released after 8:30AM EDT. The news might not be amazing. I'm on the same page as Q3 on this one. Naturally I HOPE for Adam-Queen news but I doubt it. It'll be the same ole, same ole probably. But there will be NEWS of some kind!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Such tragic news. 2,619Retweets 1,541Favorites Thank you, adamme, I found it  Have to pay attention all the time ... bad fan... interesting - followers growth is so erratic! We had about 1500 for two days following Glee announcement (Wed, THursday), then the smallest day ever at 315 on Friday, another tiny day on Sat. at 580, and all over a sudden a surge today - $2327 at 5:30 pm EST.... I really can't figure it out...why TODAY???? |

I do not see why Queen would be interested in this iheart radio event when they could fill a stadium with fans in any US city. Unless... one of the Queen/MJ songs about to be released are to go to radio. I think we need Talon to weigh in on this one> |

I'm sure it's the new label announcement . That's what my crystal ball/mashed potatoes told me yesterday . All we know about tomorrow is that Billboard will have some additional news related to Shirley's story. Also, Jim Cantiello (@jambajim) who is a long-time Idol report/commentator and nice guy, tweeted that the people at Billboard were Berting a lot. > The IHR Las Vegas lineup -- I think Adam is a long shot to be included in this because it is almost entirely people who are currently on CHR radio. Also Ryan announces this, so it does not fit the Billboard tweet. Last year's announcement: ryanseacrest.com/2012/07/09/taylor-swift-rihanna-no-doubt-more-set-to-perform-at-the-2012-iheartradio-music-festival-video/ Same thing in 2011 www.gossipcop.com/ryan-seacrest-iheartradio-music-festival-announcement-july-11-2011-las-vegas-lady-gaga-jennifer-lopez-mgm-grand/ The artists appear as part of a promo radio deal with Clear Channel. Nothing is impossible but this does not seem likely to me. > Queenbert -- does not seem related to Shirley's article in any way. And although I expect something is in the works, the messaging and repositioning DMG/Adam are doing that the next story should be something about the new label or something that supports Adam as a current pop singer/songwriter and not someone who sings covers. [The Glee story demonstrates he will remain in front of the public.] > It MIGHT be something about a new label. Setting aside the rumors and clues, DMG/Adam closed the open letter with that very telling sentence about a new label. Sometime soon, RCA will make an official statement confirming his departure. That could be on Monday. They have not been in the office since the announcement was made by Adam. *** Normally it would be weeks or months before an artist announces a new label. My best guess is that Adam and RCA ended their relationship in Mid-May. So they could have had a new deal done by now, but that is fast. I would not be surprised if Monday is something else. *** *** Yes, I feel Adam has a new deal already, but I know that is not certain. *** Finally, I have been working (or trying to work) today and so I do not know if there is some new info that makes this post stupid. Q3 - is it common for RCA to make an official statement confirming departures? I thought they never confirmed one way or another and just took people off their website eventually? At least I haven't seen any official statements from them. How do they generally make this kind of official statement? Press release, their website, twitter or ? This "news" we're expecting tomorrow is from an employee at Billboard? Why would this person give out news related to Adam leaving RCA? And also because Jim C said they were "berting" at Billboard? Are these the only hints of more "news" tomorrow, because these seem a bit weak to me, but I am still hoping for news I guess. And even more confusing to me is how the jump was made that this "news" related to SH article about Adam separating from RCA has anything to do with the IHR concert? Just timing? Because they seem so unrelated to me. And IHR is not something I could imagine Queen doing at all or even wanting to do, why? I have watched the IHR concert in the past to see Bruno streaming on my phone, he sang a few songs and it was nice but not a big deal like an awards show or even a concert, I would be disappointed if this was the "news"....... |

I enjoy trying to figure out the news in advance but I am very cautious of moving from guesses to thinking something will happen. Remember Idol judge BS from last year.
I keep see posts here and else well that Adam has a new label. We do not know that. I think he has a new label deal, but he may not. And no fan knows anything about what is really going on.
Since it is Billboard, and based on that letter, and JambaJim's tweet, I think Billboard has the article and it is that Adam has a new label deal. That also makes PR sense for a Monday follow-up to this story. And my guess is Shirley wrote the article.
BUT that is all just guesses.
I can figure out lots of reason why Adam could choose to be an independent artist and just sign with an indie label who has a distribution deal with either Sony or UMG. He would make a lot more money that way and he would have control.
And I do not think they would have put that last sentence in if they did not have a deal.
"My passion for the music & respect for the fans will always come first. I am excited to find a new label team who shares this vision."
ETA: Yes, a rep from RCA will make a statement. Usually it is something bland like "a representative from RCA has confirmed that XXX is no longer on the label's roster."
Most Idols have not managed the messaging about parting from their label very well. In some cases, an artist will vanish from the label's website, fans will notice, then a report will confirm it (Archie, Kris). In at least one Idol's case, Lee, Peter Edge, CEO of RCA Records announced the label had dropped Lee Dewyze at a press conference as part of explaining how the label was working to get profitable. (really mean) The weirdest I can remember was David Cook -- he showed up to perform his new single on Idol, before the show, when he was backstage, he told Shirley and she tweeted it. Then he released his song on iTunes as an independent artist after the performance. Fans were blindsided.
Adam's team has done a brilliant job on this. They used it to start to position him as a singer/songwriter, an artist with a creative vision that is important to him and a commitment to his fans -- more that "a vocalist" who was on Idol. This is a work of brand positioning art. I bow down at the way this has been done. "He walked because he has artistic integrity." Don't throw tomatoes at me, but without this messaging control, the story would have been, Adam Lambert dropped from RCA because his last album and recent single had disappointing sales. No one would have printed a story that RCA mishandled the singles, promotion and did not understand him as an artist and dumped Trespassing without a sensible promo plan.
The other thing going on right now, it that Adam has great relationships with the press -- built over the past 4 years. They want to print good things about him. Very few pop artists have relationships like this.

I never saw any official announcements for the departing label for any Idols, not by Sony or Interscope. The follow up to the artists announcing they have left, is a press release from the new label about how excited they are to have him. |
