It's more than ironic that some of us (ME!) are posting less lately when so much amazing stuff is happening. It's because there is NO WAY to keep up! I've put my RL on the back burner and I still can't!
And I am NOT complaining!! I'm in heaven!
I am remembering to request! Radio is the one area right now where everything isn't honkey-dorey. So requesting/voting is so important!

Miles Tougeaux @milestougeaux @tommyjoeratliff And the Cuckoo breakdown at the end was pretty awesome too TommyJoe Ratliff @tommyjoeratliff
@milestougeaux thanks! I was a bit lost but itll get better 
I'd like to think that since TJ lost his father during GNT, praise from Miles helps fill a gap in some small way.
Awww, I never thought of that but what a nice observation. Eber seems genuinely involved with a lot of Adam's friends -- even he and Brad still seem close. |

It seems funny. I remember we were constantly complaining for months, about RCA/DMG not having any, or much promo lined up. That he was only booked on T.V. a few times, and not enough national magazines, etc., But it seems that they were doing promo, but we just weren't seeing it.
For months now, maybe 6 months or so, at least back in November, there was heavy buzz going on about this album, among the industry, trickling down to consumers. Instead of doing the standard promo that most artists do, it seems that they were letting the industry hear, and have word of mouth spread, and let that be kind of the ultimate in promoting the album.
It seems that that has worked, and is working big time, especially when he doesn't have a strong radio presence at the moment.
I'd say job well done DMG/RCA. I'm kind of amazed..

Apparently, based on some very good sources who know Brad (cheeks) personally, Brad does not have a good relationship with his family. I believe he comes from Texas, and after learning he was gay, they shut him out. I do believe that Eber is a replacement dad for many of Adam's friends whose families have abandoned them. Kudos and great respect to Eber !!! |

It seems that that has worked, and is working big time, especially when he doesn't have a strong radio presence at the moment. I'd say job well done DMG/RCA. I'm kind of amazed.. My only complaint about DMG/RCA since the beginning has been the wacky choice of BTIKM as a lead single and the incomprehensible promo plan for that single. But they recovered from that misstep with the reboot on the promo plan, new better single (NCOE) and by proper staging of this album release. This will be the FIRST time RCA has managed to release the music video for an Adam single BEFORE then impacting radio date. What a novel idea. But JMHO, this album is mostly #1 right now because it is really good and Adam has worked his tail off building a fanbase. This is not a case of massive promotion resulting in sales. This is more build awareness for months, release the music online and build buzz, get good-great reviews, sell music. And what tracks are selling on iTunes? Trespassing and Runnin' Not either of the "singles".
So my "job well done" kudos go to Adam not RCA.Here's hoping he does two songs on Idol -- NCOE + Trespassing and Trespassing jumps up the charts. That would be just the perfect way to cap off this week for me. And I want to see what RCA will do if the organic single hit is a gay empowerment song performed by a gay man vs. a pop diva. Wooooo sooooooooooo scary!! --- This week has been way too much fun!! ETA: Assuming the comment from the Atlanta DJ is correct and Adam does two songs, what will the second song be? Based on past Idol history it will be one performance with two songs in it. he could do a ballad and switch to NCOE. Or he could do NCOE and then go to a dance track. Whatever else, I think we will see the "no intro" version of NCOE. From an album promotion standpoint, NCOE + Trespassing make the most sense since they are selling Trespassing album. |

Kudos and great respect to Eber !!! Really? Brad's written several times about his trips home and spending time with his family - his mom in particular. Sounded like they were pretty close... but I know nothing. It is really nice to see Eber's support of the band and Adam's friends. .....and he must be so proud right now!! |
