There were Katy Perry listening parties -- a few days prior to release for fans -- here is video www.youtube.com/watch?v=58-_oSG84d0Gaga did a listening party (and attended) in France in 2011 -- also for her monsters. --- I am not sure I get the U2 connection but "No Line on the Horizon" did not debut at #1 in 30 countries because they did listening parties. It was their first album in 5 years, they promoted it prerelease on every possible TV venue from the Grammys and the Brit Awards to late night TV. And in U2 terms the sales for the album were disappointing (although I would be thrilled if Adam it 50% of their 5+ million worldwide units). --- Adam has already previewed the album for Z100. WPLJ and other major NY stations/PDs. There was a Clear Channel hub meeting in NY for the region in December and they previewed the music. Why would they come to a listening party to hear the music they have already heard? Major print media in NY who want an interview with Adam, can get an interview with Adam -- he is accessible. He is not an artist who is rarely in public. I do not know the purpose of Adam's listening party, I do not know who was there, so I do not know why anyone can be disappointed. ==== All that said -- I do not recall a major label artist doing a preview party for an album that does not have a release date before. And I cannot remember anyone previewing an album like this so far in advance of the probably release date. ==== There are a few Sirus/XM execs at this event -- is it possible that this is some kind of a Sirus/XM promo event? -- they have been huge supporters of BTIKM and they are HW in New York. It could be RCA had a promo contract with Sirus/XM and had to fulfill it. Just a thought. You made two definitive statements. Had you said "rarely" instead of "do not" I wouldn't have commented. As to U2 of course I know it didn't do all that because of listening parties, which is why I said "but that's U2". Sorry definitive statements beg correction when they are demonstrably not true. Valid point but I can't find an example of major NY PDs attending a listening party like this. For music they have heard (not a first play like U2) and not a big pre-release party. >> I could be wrong. I am really not trying to be disagreeable but this appears to be a pretty plain event that is not an album preview party. And it does not appear to be a press preview. (Previewing tracks for PDs is normal and Adam has been doing that since November.) I wrote... "Major station PDs do not go to listening parties -- and the important NY PDs have already heard the album tracks.
Major print media do not go to listening parties -- they get interviews."Read more: atop.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=daily&action=display&thread=773&page=38#ixzz1pFVWd7W1I think the statement I made. I cannot imagine a major NY PD showing up for a listening party to hear music they have already heard -- and we know the PD's in NY have heard these recorded tracks. If this was a pre-release party to celebrate the upcoming release I would have a different expectation. Perhaps it is just vocabulary -- Kary Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Gaga, Nicki Minaj and many other pop artists have big pre-release parties -- a few days before release. For example, Katy had a pre-release party for this album a few days before release. Execs from her label attended, PD friends attended, other artists attend, and People Mag and US Mag were there, They showed part of her new video, they played the music and there was a lavish party. But that is not what this is. U2 did preview events in 2009 -- not open listening parties -- but very tightly controlled events to generate pre-release buzz. Similar to what Adam did in the UK and for the US previews. A U2 report: www.dailyrecord.co.uk/showbiz/music-news/2009/02/01/u2-set-to-release-twelfth-studio-album-and-we-have-the-lowdown-78057-21088875/I don't recall a listening party like this -- so far in advance of the assumed album release date. And I do not think it makes sense to compare this to a pre-release party. So that we do not get lost in side trivia about other artists -- let me restate my original point -- it is weeks until the album will be released, the NY PDs have heard these tracks at least once, I just do not believe it make sense that this event was intended for NY PDs. And there is no celebrity party for People or US Mag to cover. It seems more likely this event is a Sirus/XM event and/or it is to build support in NY clubs which are essential to getting on vital Club Play. |

"I looked at this guy's tweets...he's tryin' to start a little sumpin' sumpin' between Adam and some Chris Crocker guy (no idea who that is)
D. Evan Mulvihill @emulvz
Only thing I DIDN'T love about @adamlambert was that he thought @chriscrocker was a has-been. can't wait for chris' video response
Chris Crocker @chriscrocker
@emulvz @adamlambert ...Wait. What..?
D. Evan Mulvihill @emulvz
@chriscrocker I talked to Adam today and he didn't think you were still a thing. Of course I said you had a doc and all!
Chris Crocker @chriscrocker
@emulvz That's really.. interesting, considering we have lots of mutual friends and I have always supported him. Oh well."
This really upsets me. Evan Mulvihill is with Queerty ... Queerty has never been kind to Adam, never supported him, and I had high hopes that after meeting him tonight, they might decide to be a bit kinder. Apparently I was wrong ... it appears that they were looking for something more to stir shit for him.
I agree with with Rihannsu tonight that virtually all of the gay sites that I've read, say the most horrendous nasty things about Adam ... he really needed to do some one on one with the gay media.

Yes, but those were the pre-release parties for Teenage Dream -- and she showed the unreleased video the night before release in NY. And Gaga has done the same thing for her singles but usually after hours in NY clubs. Tonight was not a big AL pre-release event. It was weeks before the release of the album, it wasn't because the single was coming out tomorrow, it just seems very different in terms of promotional importance and timing to me. |

Hi, BB!! Hopefully this will help. I'll try to walk you through it ... Here is Adam's feed. These are his tweets: twitter.com/#!/adamlambert This is a "search" list – all the tweets that come in mentioning @adamlambert, meaning these are people who are talking about him, but want him to know they are talking about him. Or they are talking TO him: twitter.com/#!/search/%40adamlambert Here are tweets that mention him by name, but not his twitter name (so are likely talking ABOUT him, but not talking TO him – people confuse that a lot): twitter.com/#!/search/Adam%20Lambert Hope that helps!!  ETA: Grrr, hold on, the second link doesn't work for some reason ... but it appears the third link shows both @replies and name mentions. Try twitter.com/#!/search/@adamlambert instead as the second link. ETA: Looks like you then have to hit the search button again to get more up to date tweets Thank you for help! That is working to.  |

And btw, I follow Chris Crocker on Twitter and he's really a neat guy ... I hope he asks Adam if this is true.

Weren't those listening parties for KP, that were linked on the page before, a couple of months before her album release date?
Again...how do we know that PDs inside of the US have been hearing tracks all along this radio tour? How do we know that all of the NYC PDs have previewed these tracks? Have we seen tons of tweets that I don't remember seeing?
They were for her album. They played the unreleased tracks of her album two months before it was released to the general public.

LOL I think SusieFierce and I posted the same article at the same time!!! <hugs SusieFierce> Thanks both of you for posting the article. And I get the point that it was 2 months before the album release and that they played some tracks from her upcoming album at the parties. And that is not totally unusual -- although the KP listening parties were a bit unusual. If they were previewing the music video for Adam's new single tonight and having a huge bash, then I would expect to see major execs. from RCA there and celebrity friends, and people who worked on the album, and press, and music/entertainment industry execs. ETA: I am not sure what the disagreement is about -- the original point is I have no idea who was invited and what this event was intended to be or who attended so I do not understand how people can be disappointed. The big point seems to have gotten lost in the fray. |
