Ok - I think I wrote the survey query badly. The question is whether you think it would be better for Adam to emulate Gaga's or Adele's sales style based on RCAEd's decription of how they've historically sold. Not whether you like Gaga or Adele themselves. I vote for Adele sales style @ala4adam Adele is Double Platinum! 21, Adele - 121k (-4%) Total 2.095m about 9 hours ago via web Adele has a album that has just gone double platinum without sneaky 0.99 sales. |

Not whether you like Gaga or Adele themselves. [goes back to fix survey question] I vote for the Adele model. I want to be 100 years old and still going to see him perform. I think he might also pick the slow and steady model- he's been clear that he can't imagine doing anything but perform and this model seems more likely to give him longevity. On the other hand, if I were the label I might prefer the Gaga model. Kind of the old bird in the hand worth two in the bush thing- it's hard to pass up that much money all at once. |

GAGA or Adele? Neither, or somewhere in between. GAGA is a shapeshifter on the outside but Adam is a shape shifter on the inside. I don't think anyone coming off Idol could pull off becoming a "character" like GAGA because we already get to know them on the show and it would ring false. Adam being called the male LG was much about his love of dress up which has alway been a part of him. And somehow I still can't see him doing an album full of Gaga/Katy Perry songs. He wants to be Madonna or Michael Jackson but when he performs Jim Morrison and Robert Plant keep coming out instead. With pop/dance songs he's got to almost come up with something unique to him. Love Adele and would kill for him to have a Rolling in the Deep. But once again people get exited when Adam goes over the top in performances and which Adele song could he do that with? But I think for the roll out it will be more like Adele, word of mouth and great vocals will get people talking and maybe some fun little scandal because it real wouldn't be an Adam release without some sort of "Gate" ;D I've never seen anything like Gaga's promotion. Farmville, Google, Polaroid, Amazon..... Good lord that girl must be rolling in it. I'd take a 1/10 of the publicity she got for Adam. EtA: oops, I didn't follow directions.  Yay vinyl! I stiil get mad when I think of the huge vinyl collection I left for my roomates when I left college. Stupid. :-[ I remember hearing music from an ipad at someones house for the first time and I said what wrong with the stereo? Nothing was but it sounded so tinny I was shocked. |

Oooooooo....where'd ya get that pic Stardust??!! Gorgeous!!
I'd prefer the Adele model. Almost everyone I know has become a bit burnt out with Gaga's meteoric success.....I love how it's all about Adele's voice and material....her album sells well each and every week - that's what I want for Adam.......
(I have no idea what I'm typing....so damn bored with Adam nothingness that I've been slurping too much wine! HGahahaha!)
