Elvis Duran just said Kelly Clarkson will be calling into his show tomorrow morning and he also said that her new album will be a "game changer". I can't recall if he said that industry ppl were saying this or how exactly he worded it but I think it was interesting.....I wonder if they mean a game changer for HER personally or for the music in general. I dunno...I am not that impressed with her first single and I can't see how it changes anything but we'll see.
I hope at least she does well.

WEll things seem to be getting back to normal here. Irene was not as devastating as predicted here in my area. THank heavens. A few neighbors had flooded basement as well as one were a hugh tree toppled on the roof but fortunately no one hurt. BUt the township where I work has lost power and residents are still in dark. Most of the businesses have generators but today, hopefully, the electric will be back. Schools are open today. WEather is getting cooler so sadz BUT I do think that his single will be released in Oct and the CD in November. ASSUMING this is the case, do you think plans for a 2012 tour is being organized or will they wait to see if his CD is a seller????? (PS I have to start saving my pennies!) Glad to hear your report from the storm and that life is getting back to normal for you and other Glamberts. I hope no one here was caught up in the terrible flooding in New England. I think a tour is the closest thing to a sure bet on Planet Earth. As Lyle Lovett pointed out not too long ago, he's sold almost 5 million albums and never made a dime off any of them. Once the label had paid itself back for all the expenses, the money was gone. The record albums and their promotion are essentially Lovett's promotion for his tours, where he cleans up. |

Some DJs who have heard it have said it is a different Kelly. So I am thinking a game changer for her. She has tweeted that she really loves every song too. She has been pretty honest, in the past, so I think she is happy with this album. I was surprised though, I read at MJs yesterday, that it is debuting today, but won't be on i-Tunes until next week? Does that makes sense? Doesn't that just make it easier to steal? |

A commenter on one of my blogs on ALFC shared with me this video from a Larry Flick interview with Adam in the fall of '09. I hadn't seen it before and wanted to share it.
Adam displays such full awareness of walking the line between art & commerce and the social statement he is making, even back then. Plus he looks amazing. Everyone wins.

Does that makes sense? Doesn't that just make it easier to steal? People who are going to steal are going to steal regardless so I don't think it makes a difference. I think debuting it today and letting it get some spins and promo before it goes up on itunes only helps the songs sales. The song is an earworm. Well it could be both I guess. Back in 2004 when Kelly released SUBG it was so completely different than what was on radio and completely different from what she'd released prior to that and it really did change radio. It spawned all the Dr. Luke/Max Martin clones that saturated the radio for the next few years that's for sure. Maybe it'll usher back in an era of singers who can actually sing and not rely on overproduction and vocal tuning to sound good. |

Look at all the mega success Adele has had and still....the auto tune crap keeps coming. I guess if more and more ppl do it we'll see if there is a shift, and if there is a shift it probably won't be immediately.. |

You know what I would be interested in knowing more about...cassie, perhaps you have a better idea than I....is are we really inundated with 'autotune' or is it just what we saw on Adam's album as well...overproduction.
I say this because I think we are doing a disservice to some of the singers out there. Who can we really, safely accuse of using autotune and having a poor voice?
Ke$ha....of course...but she does not claim to be a singer particular so I do not even really think it fair to include her...but...she does sort of sing.
Katy Perry.....definitely needs help in the songs she has chosen. I think she probably has an 'OK' voice but it is a small voice and not up to the stuff she is putting out.
J-Lo has the same quality voice as Katy...so have no idea if she has mechanical help or just lots of production
Brittany Spears....used to have a very good voice but her stuff is so produced and mechanical that it is hard to find it anymore. Her fans clearly like this...I agree....she is often autotuned and overproduced I do not agree that she can't sing...she just doesn't...much.
The rest of the girls can sing, in my opinion, and range from very good to awesome.....Gaga, Adele, Beyonce, Xtina, Jessie J, Nikka Costa, Shakira, Fergie, Mariah....Whitney not so much anymore but that is another story...Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, Jordin Sparks,.....if you move out of the Pop genre then of course, they are pretty much all 'good' singers...it is only pop where this is an issue.
So my point is...should we be making more of an issue about the over-production generally rather than using the term autotune...or...am I really naive and are all these singers really using autotune? I may be completely off base...would definitely not be the first time... I wonder if they would just cut down on all the 'noise' that drowns out the singer's voice, we might actually get to hear music again,,,
Perhaps it is just that some of us are inching towards our 'best before' stage and losing the ability to separate out layers of sound so that it all sounds like the same rythmic cacophony!! :( :-/
