Well, sorry to be a downer, I think QQ music only streams. As far as I know, and I haven't been in China for a while, there's rarely foreign music sold in China mainland. I lurk at Chinese fan board as well (LOL,#professionallurker  ), fans there buy imports from AO or HongKong. People listen to foreign music through streaming and file sharing, but they do pay big bucks to concerts if the act plays there. That's okay! Not expecting miracles, but just a tiny contingent of Chinese being aware is still major for his brand. And if they're buying authorized imports, that's great!! One bit of triumph at a time, but if a market like China gets behind him (however small) that is huge. One city there can equal a small country in other parts of the world. Love the review from DavidAtlanta!!! Exactly. I was surprise QQ music put him on their main page, since he's not well known in China yet. baby steps  ... It's getting better but even major Chinese musicians don't sell that many records. They get their music out by streaming and make money by performing. Didn't Adam have an Amway gig in Shanghai last year? That's a pretty awesome deal. Totally OT, I'm watching Will Ferrell channeling George W. here, he's so good.. newsfeed.time.com/2012/05/13/snls-5-best-skits-will-ferrell-returns-as-bush-and-the-show-stays-abreast-of-times-cover/?iid=nf-article-latest#bush-consoles-biden |

That is beautiful Mayumi.
For Mother's Day, my family joined me in listening to Trespassing in surround sound. Then my music expert musician son decided to send a couple tracks to his friends but not tell them who it was -- so they would not have an Idol-bias. He was particularly impressed with Underneath. (He is a jazz/rock/funk musician and a classically trained tenor. Perhaps I can get him to go see him live someday.)

I was checking it everyday and wondering why it's taking the website that long for maintenance

My 2 cents worth on the backgrounds:
With my myopic eyes, the easiest profile skin for me to read is those on which large white text is written on a pure black background. This provides a high contrast between text and background. Even most light or bright colors are very readable on the black background.
The old stars skin was nice in that every other post was on a pure black background and thus very readable. The alternating post were on a light gray background and harder to read especially when colors were used. The new stars2 background alternates between lit and medium gray backgrounds with are harder to read than the old stars background.
The new Trespassing backgrounds alternate between medium gray and dark gray. While the dark gray is better than the lighter grays, it is not as good as the pure black. \
Also, on both the new Stars and Trespassing backgrounds, the quoted text in boxes appears smaller than before - I have to take my glasses off and put my face 6 inches from the computer screen to read them. Before all this playing around with the background, I used to get bigger fonts automatically with IE than with Firefox which is why I used IE. Now the IE fonts are just as small as the Firefox fonts. I don't know how/why this changed.
So, for those of us who have vision issues, is it possible to have a skin that is easy for us to read?
Thanks,
DancyGeorgia

Why do my posts have the unwanted descriptions around them?

DavidAtlanta .com Trespassing is one of the stronger, more consistent mainstream pop albums to come out in the past year, and with the right push from RCA Records, it could be a big hit. My one complaint? The singles released so far, while good, do not do this album justice. Releasing “Cuckoo” would be a step in the right direction.Rating A- More here davidatlanta.com/2012/05/adam-lamberts-trespassing/(I wonder if RCA reads the reviews. There have been quite a few questioning the single choices.)I bet they do. I'm glad they get some feedback, lol. Cuckoo should be the next single, imo. As I get the vibe Adam is not completely happy with the label's single decisions either, he may be getting his point of view across via these reviews without uttering a word... Just speculating here. BEST POP RECORD OF THE YEAR!!! [/center][/quote] I think assuming that there will be a third single that is fully supported by RCA if NCOE doesn't do well on radio is fool-hardy.Here are things that help support NCOE doing well and therefore enable a potential third single to get label support: * Itunes sales spurred by radio play and video but also good buzz/word of mouth from fans and critics. Most of the fanbase buying the single. * Fans embracing the single wholeheartedly by requesting it and buying it and voting for it, and not dissing it on twitter or comments sections when interacting with the press and music media. I really hate even bringing up this comparison, but some fans of another idol thought that by refusing to request the the single that the label had released, or doing it 'under protest' and talking it down throughout their fandom they could 'force' the label to release another single. From what I understand it helped sink that single and ended that era. The label didn't throw financial support behind a third single. That's the Truth  By the way writing in other unreleased Trespassing songs on mediabase forms just outs one as a super-fan not in touch with how radio singles work and therefore not someone to take seriously as a listener. It might be fun, but if your goal is to get NCOE played? It won't help and could hinder that. |
