Stormy Weather Ahead
1.22.12 by Q3

It’s finally time. This week BTIKM goes for both Pop and Hot AC radio adds in the US and Canada. Stations will report their playlist adds on Monday 1.23.12 and Tuesday 1.24.12.

This is the critical test for BTIKM – will it get support from a lot of radio stations or will it be a slow slog up the charts?

Plus, this week we will see more interviews, including: DishofSalt/Laura Saltman and ET Canada on Monday.

DishofSalt Laura Saltman WOW!!! So impressed by these Adam questions. Great job Adam fans. I will try and get to as many as I can for you on Monday.

Then later in the week, Adam will head off to Austria for an industry showcase performance and what is starting to look like a whirlwind trip through Europe with stops in Austria, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, and maybe the UK.

Finally, although we have no release date for the BTIKM music video, there are hints that it will be released late this week – most likely on Friday 1.27.12 on AdamOfficial.com and VH1. (Not confirmed.)

Rejecting the Labels
1/22/2012 by NoAngel

This past week we had two TV appearances and several radio interviews, along with an exciting flood of tweets, articles, and reviews about Adam from various media sources in the U.S. and beyond. One thing that fans notice right away is the words used to describe Adam. We are thrilled to see "Grammy-nominated," "singer-songwriter," and "global pop star." Less pleased when we read "American Idol runner-up" and "openly gay." It's been more than two years since Adam told us he was "so hot out the box," but people still try to stick a label on him so that he will neatly fit into a box that makes sense to them. In the same way, Adam's fans are labeled in ways that sometimes make us proud and other times make us seethe.

It is human nature to categorize, and the way people deal with things they don't understand is to try to figure out where they fit in their known world. There is comfort in being able to put something neatly in its place, but the trouble is, some things are not easily tucked into an identifiable box. Adam has defied categorization since we've known him. He was an American Idol contestant who didn't really fit any of the cookie-cutter personas the show likes to feature. He's a celebrity with good manners and a penchant for promoting others. "Edgy with a smile," as Adam once said, which kind of confuses people who prefer more straightforward good guy/bad guy labels.

As for us, we've been called all sorts of names by outside observers as well as fellow fans, not all of them flattering. Ryan Seacrest's ageist spin on Adam's fanbase during his interview on Friday stirred up intense feelings amongst fans who resented being labeled and demeaned.

No matter how comforting it may be to use labels to make sense of our world, they are inherently both exclusionary and limiting. How much more interesting life would be if we weren't so quick to tag something or someone but rather embraced complexity and nuance. I think Adam does this quite well. When pressed to label his music, Adam prefers to talk about the variety he brings to the table and the genres he blends. When people try to fit him into a category, he discusses his evolution as an artist and a person. He talks about the many sides to his personality and the complexity of his inner world. And inevitably, when baited to label his fans, Adam talks about diversity and how we can all party together.

Adam recently said that "the Universe always sends you wake-up calls." I think maybe the fandom's response to the Seacrest interview might be a reminder for all of us to think about the labels we put on ourselves, and the labels we attach to others.

No one word or phrase can adequately capture a person's spirit. Surely it takes many songs to do that

Only two more months and the cd will drop and we can hear the whole thing just like all these peeps who are the lucky dogs who get to preview the music. Am I jealous? Why yes, I am! My selfish Adam obsessed heart hopes for a leak somewhere, just a tiny one, a glimpse into the music that i know is headed our way, but that I am wanting now.

And a little late, but I finally had time to watch Ellen yesterday. I loved it. His partner in the audience, so awesome. Maybe I will catch up on all the cool radio promos soon, but I appreciate the highlights, Q3. My job, my life, I am consumed. Barely any time for proper stanning, but I do try to stay abreast of things. I really loved the little music lesson he treated us with yesterday. Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying the ride he is taking us all on and I hope to see a good many of you when he goes out on tour. Oh, And Ryan Seacest is a tool. Just saying'

Hi Q3, just wondering about this:

"Then later in the week, Adam will head off to Austria for an industry showcase performance and what is starting to look like a whirlwind trip through Europe with stops in Austria, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, and maybe the UK."

My understanding about the QSnowcase, although I might have really missed something, is that it is just one concert in Austria.

However radio listeners from Belgium, the Netherlands, and Finland (haven't heard about Germany or Sweden, but maybe it's the same?) can win tickets from their local stations to be able to attend.

At least that's what I thought some Finnish fans were saying elsewhere. Unless you are thinking of something else? I'm pretty confused as well.

Thanks for the reminder, stardust.

Questions about the album:

1. If I order a digital download of album in iTunes will that be included in the overall count of albums sold as well or the digital count is separate?

2. When is the iTunes pre-order of the album be available? I did order and download the single (BTIKM) but not the Trespassing album yet.

3. I pre-ordered the physical album from Amazon but is the digital download also available there?

Thanks.

Thanks to AdisaM, Q3, SusieFierce & everyone else for the suggestions on storage. I have 2 external drives (1 T each) but they don't secure files in case if fire, theft, or something like the cruise ship accident last week. I WOULD have lost my external drive along with the laptop if had been on that ship - which I wouldn't have been because I only work for British/American owned lines. I'm going to check out the Amazon S3 storage.

Happy B-day 4EverAdam, challenger1!

3. I pre-ordered the physical album from Amazon but is the digital download also available there? not yet, but probably in the future.

Also you can preorder the physical CD or the digital album from Adam Official now, and get a free download of BTIKM.

Thanks.
