I'm not a numbers or music business gal, so have a little mercy with the dumb assumptions and questions. My basic belief is that a country Idol will have bigger sales. Country folks buy more as a percentage than other genres. I, also, believe there is less pirating of the music. Is any of this true? THere was a study a few years ago with regards to this topic. How true it is these days?? According to this study country fans tend to have less access to high speed internet services. Think of all the areas in Texas that are NOT in a metro area. Hence they tend to purchase more CDs. It will be interesting to compare his CD vs digital sales. On an Adam note: I'm soooooooooooooooooooooo ready for that single. Hello is it November yet? |

The relevant points: [/li][li] The “Beg For Mercy” album contains songs that Adam and I wrote and recorded prior to him entering the “American Idol” competition. It was a collaboration between the two of us. Brian Frasier – Moore played drums; Rickey Pageot & Eric Mayron played keyboards on these recordings. I do not have any control of the release of any of these recordings, and I haven’t had any involvement with these songs since we recorded them. In fact, they have been out of my hands since before Adam completed Season 8 of “American Idol.”[/li][li] Because we signed all of the associated legal paperwork, they are technically allowed to release it. Additionally, I have had and continue to have no control over the timing of these releases; I couldn’t halt or accelerate them even if I wanted to. All performers make money on all recordings that were played and/or written on. [/li][li] From a purely artistic standpoint, I must admit that I am proud of this music... I still think they’re great songs years later. [/li][li] I can’t deny that “Beg For Mercy” is something we both put our heart and soul into at the time. However, I’m focused on my new album, “Pain, Love & Destiny”, which was released last week, and Adam is hard at work recording his new album. [/li][li] With that said, my honest thoughts are that if you like what you hear, you should buy it and support everyone involved with this album. And if you don’t like it, then you shouldn’t buy it. As fans, that is your prerogative. However, illegal downloading of any music is wrong any way you look at it. But I urge you to please not fling any unnecessary negative criticism or anger at any musicians involved with this project. At the end of the day, it’s just music. And music is the reason we’re all here, right? Thank you for your support and for allowing me to address these rumors. Listen for yourself to the songs and you be the judge. Love, Monte Pittman

[puts on moderator hat]
That's an offical statement folks.
Yes, its new news.
Monte has given his side. You may or may not agree with it.
If you wish to discuss, discuss nicely, and do not pounce on your fellow ATOP members if they have a different viewpoint than yours.
Thank you.
-HSM

[grins] On the other hand, if you do not wish to discuss, and want to continue squeeing about Adam's upcoming single, that's ok too.  |
