Man I hope its rescheduled. The last time Adam got bumped from an entertainment News show because of a breaking news story IIRC he was either cut entirely or cut down to a sliver. :-/ :( Isn't this the second time he got bumped from The Insider? Some other MegaNews story broke and they covered that instead. Can't recall what it was. They better reschedule asap. ;D For those going to Kirby Center in WB Q3 started a thread in the Members' thread. Go add your name, comments, info if you want! This is bump number three. I set my DVR two previous times he was supposed to be on. |

I hate Ticketmaster. Ok, that being said, I did get a ticket to the Kirby Ctr concert. Joined Kirby Ctr but that didn't seem to help getting VIP Tix. Is there a trick? I was on my computer, iPad and phone. Is calling Ticketmaster better than the computer? I'm going to try again Monday but don't hold out much hope of success. Am sooo very excited to be going to see Adam sing his new music. It's been a long draught and this music is fierce...out of this world vocals and such personal lyrics. Hope to see and meet lots of you there. I think the VIP tickets sold out instantaneously...a few lucky peeps on this forum got some, but I doubt they'll be offering any more during the regular sale..... Hopefully M&G's will be offered for The Trespassing Tour. I'm just about ready to give him a blank cheque in exchange for one! Haha! |

@idol360 Kris Allen page from the new People Mag Idol special. Adam Lambert and Zorro mention! Sanjaya is in People magazine!  This is not a big honor...just sayin'.  Seriously, this is from the "Where Are They Now" special edition which covers 120 contestants over the past 11 seasons. Adam is in the magazine along with a ton of other past contestants. May not be a big honor, but still great publicity. Think of all those grocery store check-out lines with the cover of People looking at customers. |

After repeatedly and obsessively listening closely to the snippets I can now say my favorite is---shit I don't know. haha exactly ;D I just like them all. Kickin In, Shady, Broken English, Underneath... all so good! I haven't listen any of them for two days now :D  Trying to wait until I get the real album! Me too.....  |

Regarding the album roll-out debate about its promotion or perceived lack thereof, I see a different aspect than the one discussed here so far. Timing and quantity is certainly one aspect of the debate, but what I see RCA doing here is to go after promoting album quality and diversity over promotion over just one specific single....and that is an interesting approach, because it targets a different market.
Many albums that come out these days have one or two lead tracks that are single material and then the rest of the album falls off from there. Too many in the industry (pop especially) have done that and it has eroded album sales interest because people can now just buy the track they want and so they do.
Along comes Adam and throws down an album that as many have stated goes from one superb song to the next, and they are all different. No one song from the album is representative of the whole album, Trespassing or Cuckoo are as individual songs not representative of the whole album either.
When I play the snippet youtube above, I might start dancing around to Trespassing and enjoy that it is so funky but it is after I have heard 3-4 completely different tracks that is when it usually hits me. Wow, this is totally amazing. This is a string of highlights like I have not heard on a pop album that I can remember and I want to scream that out into the world.
I think the struggle for RCA is now find a way to market this message in a world that is single oriented and that is not easy.
I was wondering for a while why Adam dumped so many snippets out at once, instead of spreading it out over time. I think he did it because they did not want us to get hung up on one song alone, but rather wanted us to sample the whole buffet and carry that message into the world and I think we should as fans get on that band-wagon too. Let's try to think of this less like a single promotion, and compare it to Ke$ha and Co. This is not one pearl, this is a string of pearls and you don't sell a string of pearls by cutting off the individual beads, at least you don't have to.
I think it is a huge risk to market this way, because obviously the pop market and especially the radio market is not organized in this way, but it totally represents the album and ultimately multifaceted Adam. Have you noticed that usually we get Examiner and other such articles over everything related to Adam and even the usual entertainment news segments chime in. They have been strangely quiet this time around and reported on this throw- down of snippets less than they do over every haircut or sighting. I believe this is because they are just stunned. It's as simple as that. They are looking for the storyline and are overwhelmed.
We all, fans, fan-sponsored press (Examiner and Co.) and eventually the official entertainment news programs will need to find a message and storyline to adequately tell.
What Jimmy Kimmel shows me is that Adam's management is looking for opportunities where Adam can sing a small mini-concert on TV, rather than just one song.
Let's start getting creative and think about how we can help market the album and its multitude of offerings and get that message out, rather than feel hopeless because the single promotion is not lined up with some expectation or idea we may have. How does Bruce Springsteen market what he sells. U2, etc...I know this is rock and not pop, but Adam has always crossed over and I believe his core market is not limited to pop anyhow, even though this totally is a pop album. But if someone is normally not a pop music lover and wants to own a few pop albums to add to their otherwise differently oriented music collection, this is the album they would want to get.
Does this make any sense to anyone?

@idol360 Kris Allen page from the new People Mag Idol special. Adam Lambert and Zorro mention! This is the large version if anyone can't read it. yfrog.com/z/h3c49akjSo Kris is in People Magazine and Adam's in Rolling Stone?? ;D is in People magazine! This is not a big honor...just sayin'. Seriously, this is from the "Where Are They Now" special edition which covers 120 contestants over the past 11 seasons. Adam is in the magazine along with a ton of other past contestants. Is this the new People magazine? The tweet above only state "Adam mentioned". Didn't say that Adam was also in the magazine along with other idols. So I guess I have to go out to Walmart or bookstore to see what they wrote about Adam. |

Does this make any sense to anyone? YES YES YES a thousand times YES!!!!!! But more than that I have always said that from the beginning RCA has consistently marketed Adam as an artist rather than marketing the product. They believe in the "artist" not just the specific songs he is producing and the marketing has always been geared that way. |

@tommyjoeratliff what, now u got Ferlazzo? #explodingkeyboardplayer I am guessing that Brian London is just too busy to be permanent keys player, although he is probably still music director. I sure love the way #explodingkeyboadplayer sounds, especially coming for Zac! um, I took that to mean: "First Lisa, then me, then Cam, then Kevin, then Brian, now this new dude? Guess that position is prone to exploding..."Like the drummer in Spinal Tap? Remember? The joke was that their drummers always died? Two of them spontaneously combusted (exploded) on stage. Pretty sure it's a Spinal Tap joke. ETA: LOL Lucy beat me to it. I guess so.. but what does Zach expect to see, Adam is a solo artist. Like it or not we will see this changes of band members. {shrug} |
