I am also thinking to donate 2 cds at the end of this week plus I am buying 2 more cds for two of my music-loving male friends that are not necessarily Adam fans but know about him (cause I never miss to talk about him when we talk about music), but I will do this in the next couple of weeks.

I loved last night, but I too wish Adam could be turned loose to sing songs like Shady and Trespassing on TV. My rocker friend taped the show and watched it ... I'm sure she had never watched Idol before ... and then e-mailed me, "Why the heck didn't he sing Shady?" :-/ I sure hope Q3 is right about radio coming on board for this song next week and the week after. Most of the artists I love do not get played on the radio and do just fine, but I know it's something Adam wants, needs, and has put a tremendous amount of effort into. I loved the Sinatra-related tweets too! Though their styles are different, Adam seems tough and focused to me, like Sinatra, and super creative and innovative like he was. And a master of his vocal instrument as Old Blue Eyes was. Artists perform their current singles on Idol or any other awards show, etc. they are a part of. That is how it works. It's how promo works. This performance wasn't about trying to please small groups of hardcore stans. (which he could obviously never do anyways) If Adam had sang Shady, other fans would have wanted him to sing Trespassing. If he had sung Trespassing, other fans would have wanted him to sing Cuckoo. If he had sung Cuckoo, other fans would have wanted him to sing ____________. The list could go on and on. When Adam performed WWFM on AI during season 9, I remember fans bitching to high heaven about that! That performance ending up being the right move!  |

Do you really think the average fan bought 10? Not all of his fans have that kind of money. I bought 3 and I think I'm a diehard fan. Rama, some have bought a lot more, and I bought 8 + box set. So 10 may be a little high. But even if it was averaged much lower, that is saying 10,000 to maybe max 20,000 diehard. Still awfully low. [grins] I like to think I'm pretty damn diehard and I bought two copies. A box set for me, and an extra delux for the car. May buy one more so that the kid can scratch up her own (and yes, I'll probably buy an Adele album at the same time. Sorry. ;D ). But that will probably be it until my sister's birthday or unless someone specificially asks for a copy. |

"Cuckoo and Pop That Lock are the
aural equivalent of being kissed by a
thousand cherry lip-glossed
supermodels all at once" - wow!

BTW - and this is kinda important to me - has anyone bought the Walmart version yet?
If so, can you let me know if the "Fuck" is still on Cuckoo?
Makes a difference for a kid purchase.

Recap from Rolling Stone - the Adam part:
Adam Lambert is back on the Idol stage wearing the outfit that every singer in the Eighties wishes they could have worn: Neon green earrings that match his neon green shirt that match his neon green nails, paired with A Flock of Seagulls. The whole band could sit in not for a real Eighties band, but for a band playing at the prom in a John Hughes movie, and no one would notice. Adam's song "Never Close Our Eyes" is fun and energetic, and it is good that he is performing on the penultimate results show, because it makes you realize how boring and staid the Idol contestants are this year. Joshua can perform, but not like Glambert.

I really wish RCA would take some risks rather than play the safe game with the PDs. Can't they just ask Interscope and Universal for help/tips?*whispers* Was anyone here wishing and imagining him singing 'Trespassing' last night? I'm guilty as charged. It even prevented me from flailing here with you guys, since I'm all for supporting Adam's new single. TP and Kickin In and Shady have been my drug of choice lately. My sweetest seeds. Guilty here, too. I do like NCOE (and my 9-year-old LOVES it--she has been playing it over and over and singing along with the high parts especially--she was in choir this year and likes to sing high now!), but I can't help but imagine how amazing a performance of Trespassing would have been. He loves that song so much and the audience would have been out of their minds with the energy he brings to that. All in all, I thought he did a fantastic job with NCOE, but I agree that Trespassing is really the signature song from the album and would have rocked hard. |
