And I would not worry about RCA being too risky -- they will remain conservative. Unfortunately that's what I'm worried about when it comes to single selections because RCA plays it why too safe instead of taking some initiative and going for the kill. I wish they took Adam's choice of Cuckoo for the first single into consideration instead of BTIKM - sorry to be a Debbie-downer of sorts but I feel that RCA has started this era with a flub.

I'm inclined to agree w/Mys*&@^#r about the release of BTIKM in December to counteract BFM, but Adam has also said they wanted to release a song that really featured the voice. Does anyone think they were thinking Grammy nom-best vocal?

Does anyone think they were thinking Grammy nom-best vocal? I think Adam has to support the label in interviews and if he had released the song he wanted, it would have been Cuckoo! He would never say, "I didn't want BTIKM, but the label did." So he gives the company line>"bridges from WWFM to new era, showcases my voice, dark and light, etc."

Well - Adam took a Pink-written song and made it his own and won a Grammy nomination for it. It became his and I see no problem with Adam singing a song written by someone else if he makes it his own like he did with WWFM and it achieves the success that WWFM did. I would say that most people identify WWFM with Adam and don't know or care that Pink wrote it. I sure don't want RCA to "risky" him right off the charts or radio or Grammy possibilities. But Pink gets paid for it every time it is played -- not Adam. That's why having a writing credit is so important. And I would not worry about RCA being too risky -- they will remain conservative. Adam was paid plenty for WWFM in single sales, album sales and a Grammy nomination. Rihanna doesn't write any of her songs, but she sure isn't hurting. Hit songs, whether they are written by Adam or not, can mean tons of other opportunities and money from other sources on down the road. If it was an either/or situation, it would be worth it to trade the little amount of $ that a co-written song could give Adam for a song that turned out like WWFM with a Grammy Nomination. Getting it all in one package would be the ideal situation, but the co-writing $ has to be looked at in the context of the bigger picture. I just want a hit on CHR! I don't care who writes it, who produces it or what the song is about! I just need Adam singing it and to hear it on my Top 40 station every hour!

Wonder if they notice when peeps vote numerous times beyond the 20.. ??? It's always shown that. That's why it's so weird that BTIKM isn't higher because most of the names there say "I voted for Adam Lambert" whenever I am voting.
