<snip>Fact is, Adam has proven to be the most successful commercial recording and touring artist from the past 3 years of Idol. RCA should invest more in him. Hey Q3 - a batch of us were talking in the "How Much Money Does Adam Make" thread about this, and were wondering if Adam had a "360 deal" and how much RCA is making off of that compared to albums/tracks if such a deal is in place. Also, what's your opinion about these deals in general? They're scavenging off of revenues that used to just belong to the artist, but they're suddenly seeming really important to the labels as the traditional sources of cash are drying up. Conversation is going on here: atop.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=strategy&action=display&thread=42&page=2Heh heh heh. Thanks for the answer. Only gave me more questions!! ;D Who's gettn' the $$$ on the T-shirts? atop.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=strategy&thread=42&page=2 |

More detailed answer in the thread. |

I've put together an Adam Maxidrom Festival Resources list in yesterday's concert thread. It includes links to Maxidrom posts from other Adam forums, video playlists, photo sets, downloads, Essell's wallpapers and so on. I will keep updating this. Click the photo for the link to the resources:
 Q3 comment -- absolutely awesome!! I have added to page 1 of the concert thread. (Bows in homage! and thanks!) |

JMHO.. On the labels support, just like they have two different manager, they also have different labels, even though they're both with Sony. It's depend on their labels what to do with them. How to promote their artists. On this level, I would think RCA doesn't care who's the winner and who's the runner up. Bussiness is bussiness, they have to promote their own artists. on the management support, since they're manage by the same company I would think the get the same support. It would be awkward if 19M gives more support to Adam. Plus Kris gets the winner contract, so in my opinion he should get a better one. I know it's always been an accussation by some people that 19M supported Adam more than the winner. But then again even though they have the same management, Adam & Kris have different manager that handle their business. If it looks like Adam gets more support from 19M, maybe because his team's more creative than Kris' team. Maybe because the phone rings more often in Adam's management team office than Kris's ... the request of Adam is >>>>> than Kris. I remembered in season 8, I used to hang out in Adam thread in Idol site. There's a guy name NYMichael. He's in the entertainment industry. He informed us that people in the business in the country and around the world wants to know more about Adam. They've watched him every week. IMO, that's why Simon was so confident telling Adam that Sony has found their World wide star in Adam on the finale... I believe Simon would not say such thing if AI & Sony didn't get all those request or questions of Adam from around the world. They know exactly that there's a huge interest of Adam from the music busines outside the US. Just a few points of clarification.... RCA and Jive are both part of the RCA/Jive Label Group and both reported up to Barry Weiss until March 2011. The brand name on the album is almost the only difference left. There is no "winners contract" with 19M -- the management is the same. There are provisions in the Idol Finalist contract specifically for the winner, #2, #3, and so on. These are public. (The Disney sponsorship and debut record advance are part of this.) There are some promotional opportunities that the winner gets because sponsors want the Idol winner. Ford ads are an example of this. I do not know if NY Michael ever revealed his true ID but my conclusion was that he was a minor music industry exec -- maybe an A&R rep -- but I do not believe that he works/worked for Sony. Some of the things he posted do not match with things that I know first hand. We (the former nymichael.com members) do know the true identity of NYMichael - PM me if interested. As far as the internet shows - he owns his own company and is not part of SONY...The size or outreach of his business is something we did not look into... probably minor... Gelly said: And also to connect this with Adam they pay huge money to invite to a party a well known artist. I mean HUUUGE money just for one night. I remember reading about a year ago about one Russian businessman who was having a sweet 16 party for his daughter in NYC. He invited Paris Hilton and reportedly paid $2Mil for her to appear at that party. I do not have a link - I was so shocked that is stuck in my memory... Moscow has become one of the most expensive cities in the world...the real estate is on par with Tokyo and NYC - Manhattan if not higher... the gap between "haves and have nots" in Russia as a whole is staggering...it is still a wild west...the enormous resources of this huge country are concentrated in relatively few hands... back to Adam: I was so happy to see Adam at the 5 star hotel (I assume Ritz is and it sure looks it) in the heart of Moscow, having a view of the Red Square...the best of the best! HE DESERVES EVERY BIT OF LUXURY any country can offer.... he got a warm welcome from the fans, he had a huge audience at the festival with the fans specially prepared for him with the balloons and the paper hearts... I am sure he won over new fans ( I see comments to that effect on the Russian sites that were linked here) and at least one severely homophobic DJ... He is now hopefully in Helsinki with his BF...- was this confirmed yet? I am so PROUD OF HIM! |

If anyone has already claimed this for an avi, let me know and I will happily go back to my black swan. But there is just something about this photo that is so hauntingly beautiful and rock star all at the same time. *sigh*  |
