Recently posted on AO: Statement from AO Web crew on BFM (posted on AO): "AO Web Crew: Re: Official Feedback/Moderation Thread updated Ok everyone, here is the official word on "Beg For Mercy". We would have liked to say something sooner, but "the wheels of justice turn slowly", as Flash recently said in an email. "Beg For Mercy" is a song recorded LONG before idol. It is NOT a new song, it has just been packaged as a new song. It was recorded before his contract with RCA/19/Sony so we have no control over it. The person who owns the rights has chosen to sell it, and they are technically within their rights. However, we will say it again, this is NOT an official release, and it is not a new song by any means. Please spread the word. The AO Web Crew" Oh wow! This is totally new information!!! I sure hope the fans can SPREAD THE WORD! LOLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ |

I see that it's not listed in "Coming Soon" on Amazon anymore after reappearing under the Universal DOD label or whatever, over the weekend. So confusing, it's like a game of Whack-A-Mole...  |

negativeneil Neil Lambert
exciting things are afoot, dear readers.
I'm sure it's too much to hope that the "exciting things" are Adam-related.

I see that it's not listed in "Coming Soon" on Amazon anymore after reappearing under the Universal DOD label or whatever, over the weekend. So confusing, it's like a game of Whack-A-Mole...  Whack-A-Mole You are right. It has disappeared again. And the single is burning up the charts at #6062 on MP3 downloads. The AO statement makes it appear that they are saying Adam can legally do nothing about the release. Or is it saying that RCA can do nothing about the release? If that is the case, I am puzzled why it disappeared, reappeared in a different guise, then is gone again? Could it be that Malcolm expected Adam fans to embrace it, and when they posted such negative comments everywhere it was for sale that he was surprised? Realized it was not the golden goose he had thought it was? Did he intend for it to be broadly embraced by die-hard fans and casual fans alike but did not anticipate it being largely ignored? Or do you think that there is more legal wrangling still going on behind the scenes and it will be reanimated once more like a zombie? In any case, other than being an irritant to Adam, it looks like BFM, in whatever incarnation, is pretty much a non-issue. And at present, it looks like it will not be on retail end caps for the holiday gift buying season. Or, crossing fingers, even on the big online stores. (Well, the single, yes, but, one would have to search for it knowingly, and I don't imagine many people are going to go online and search for a new single from Adam to gift to their Adam-fan friends and family.) |
