Yay - just heard BTIKM on Mix107.3 in DC and it got a big intro including they have recieved a ton of requests for the song (way to go everyone!!). After the song played they said it was Adam Lambert - the new lead singer for Queen, and then went on to mention Tresspassing and all the requests again. total WIN! YES!!! ETA: But the "new leader singer of QUEEN" is a bit odd. BUT Whatever gets him airplay.  Yeah, rolled my eyes about the Queen comment, but learning to just let it go. And you are right - it is not doing any damage to have that association :-) And at least they did mention Trespassing too. |

Sure Idol producers may have wanted them for any number of reasons but IMO no way would Queen have associated with AI again with only Danny, Kris or Allison as the draw. Had to be Adam that overcame their enmity. When rumors of Queen first started surfacing most in the bubble were convinced it would never happen because Brian had sworn never to have anything to do with them again. I agree. Did Queen have anything of their own to promote at the time of the AI8 finale? If not, then I'd say the producers had to entice them with something pretty special. You can't convince me that Danny, Kris, or Allison would lure them onto the show. At whatever point Queen agreed, I'm guessing that the producers were certain the the final 2 would be Adam/someone. ITA.. No.. If Danny, Kris or even Allison couldn't make Slash coming and mentor AI then I doubt that Brian would even wanted to check AI again. I agree with rihannsu.. IT HAD TO BE ADAM and also the fact that Led Zep had agreed to let Adam sing their song. And that's the first time they gave their approval. |

Just thinking.... If the Sonisphere announcement was expected to be made a month earlier, that would have become public at the same time as the BTIKM official ads week was scheduled, right? The label/management could have thought the Queen news would push many stations to add the song. Could the delay have been one reason that this marketing "plan" has seemed so strange?

Yup, the Top 13 opened with "So What", but no Pink. In fact, I don't think Pink has ever appeared on Idol, has she? Memory lane ("So What" starts at 2:22): Pink did tweet something about that performance to the effect of "I heard they butchered one of my songs on American Idol" or some such. Those group sings really were atrocious. I wouldn't mind one bit if they abandoned that whole concept. I just clicked this video and saw what Adam wore that night..  .. watching him on that boots again reminded me how special Adam is for the AI that year or at lease Miles loves Adam that's why they've spent so much money just for Adam's wardrobes that night ... his one boot (left side) was specially flew-in in a jet from the original country in Europe with it's designer and arrived on AI set few minutes before he had to be on that stage (in this video). I wonder if he ever whear that boots again?? ETA: If you guys all see... the song's lyric said, I'M A ROCK STAR .. I HAVE MY ROCK BOOTS (or something like that)... and see Adam's the only one's wearing his rocker boots.. the other's wearing their white shoes.. |

The label/management could have thought the Queen news would push many stations to add the song. Could the delay have been one reason that this marketing "plan" has seemed so strange? My post is not directly an answer to this what cassie is writing here. But in general Adam has said several times that he is ready to do whatever it takes to have a longevity in his career. And I really hope he sticks to this statement. Who cares how unorthodox the strategy is as long as it is giving some results. I like this attitude whatever it takes. So that we can enjoy Adam's music in a long run. |
