I'm with you, early November, maybe not the first week, but the second one, the week of November 7th, sounds good. The release date will be November 6th. Adam's and Sauli's 1 year anniversary date. :  (7th will be OK too, because they maybe met after midnight).    , I have to admit that you are clearly a genius  ! |

I've been wondering what sort of anniversary extravaganza Adam is planning but was saving the topic for the next board melt down. The speculating about it is quite entertaining, lemme tell ya. Adam's idea of a romantic surprise could go any one of eleventy billion ways  |

I dunno why but Im even more excited about the 2nd album and single now, even after hearing that it will be delayed. ;D What I wish with regards to the singles, in addition to them being brilliant, is that they will translate easily to live performances. Now please dont throw things at me, but to me personally, the tv performances of FYE, WWFM and IIHY were..well, a little awkward and the vocals didnt come across as being as mindblowingly amazing as we know them to be from GNT and AI performances. Perhaps it is because on the sets of the tv shows, the sounds dont resonate as much and the sound feeds straight to the mic, as Adam had once mentioned.., or perhaps its because Adam still gets nervous performing for tv, as he said in his interview with Heidi.. but it seems to me that the biggest thing is that the songs were just really hard to sing live., as is evident by the many cringe worthy attempts made by other people to sing them... Songs like fever, sure fire winners and strut I think, would have translated better to live performances and would have better showcased the vocals, although I am aware, that they may not have been radio hits.. So what I;m saying, is that I hope Adams next single will be both a big hit on the radio and be able to showcase Adams amazing vocals and stage presence to their fullest. |

I wouldn't take them out of the music area. Just tuck them in - backwards - behind some artist who doesn't sell much. ;D I know that stores are supposed to keep track thrugh the product code how many they sell but I wonder if employees look at the empty space and say wow, that's the AL album that sells and look this one that's still here noone is buying? This is greatly simplified but..... For the three US traditional retailers who matter in music sales -- Walmart, Target and Best Buy -- the store employees have little or nothing to do with the music department stock. And most are part-time employees who do not have much awareness of the music department. (This is a very small department in all three chains and store employees pay attention to the department with lots of sales $$$) In all three cases, and it does not matter if the music department is owned or done by a third party (like Walmart), all three use sophisticated forecast and replenishment systems to set stocking levels and have centralized merchandising departments who decide on initial ordering and stocking levels. That said, store employees notice the unusually high selling CDs -- maybe that will be Adam in the future -- recent notable high-selling artists SuBo and Adele and Little Wayne. BUT store employees really notice the artists who do not sell and who generate big returns -- Britney's last album and Gaga's last album had way too much stock in retail. The MJ This Is It displays were stuffed with inventory that moved much more slowly than anticipated. And anyone who has worked for a retailers knows that dreaded words -- Return to Vendor (RTV). Tons or work, just expense with no sales for anyone. Music fans have more awareness than the employees of these chains. It was different when there were music specialty stores. Hope that makes sense. |

I'm thinking he learned a whole lot about choosing singles by singing FYE live those few times we got it. And yeah, my enthusiasm about the next era got ramped up significantly these past few days. I can feel the buzz starting- it may be a murmur right now but it will increase with each day and a month from now we'll be rolling in press and announcements regarding appearances! |

I agree with you -- I am more excited about Adam #2 now than I was even a couple of weeks ago. I think it is a vibe that the music is going to be really good. I am more optimistic that Adam #2 will be a better showcase for Adam's vocals vs. FYE. Adam improved many of the FYE songs as he performed them. A good example is Sleepwalker -- album version was quite good. Live version at the beginning of GNT was amazing. But after about 2 months of performing that song regularly, it had become a vocal masterpiece (OK I am biased because I love everything he sings.) But the emotional power of that song just grew over the course of the tour. Now we have an album where he has had the time to work on the vocals for a few month and was responsible for the production and creative direction. I think the result will be we get fully Adamized songs out of the gate. |

OT, but earlier today we had talked about how we waited in vain for Adam's pants to rip or split or something during Glam Nation! I just watched the David Cook video and it is hysetrical. From his banter, sounds like he may have been commando. The roadies came out and wrapped duct tape around his pants. He changed the name of one song from Declaration to Dicklaration and was hoping the guitar (until the duct tape arrived) was covering his junk!
Sigh!! Damn SkinGraft for making such a great product! :-/

Not going to throw things at you, I might have to hide behind a rock though, because I kind of agree with you,  that his singles for Adam #1 didn't really translate live, for all the reasons that you've mentioned. But now I'm not really worried. I think that for the last era, I think that the album was put together so fast that Adam didn't really have time to internalize the material. I think with Adam #2 that Adam has more time with the material and I think that whether the music will translate well live is one of the things that Adam is factoring in with this album. So don't worry, I think this is going to be great! :D |
