GNT IS HERE! GNT IS HERE!!!
I'm just finishing my first viewing and I want to run around and scream in excitement to someone, but I'm here by myself.
I can't believe how good it sounds and how great he looks. I also can't believe how good the band sounds- I heard a lot of little details I couldn't hear when I was there. Monty, in particular, sounds fantastic.
My only complaint is I only have a 26 inch television. I need to go in search of a friend with a big ass screen so I can see even more of the details.
I'm now finishing up with the bits at the end. Did he really just say "Kris, you're on the radio in Singapore!"?

Catsmadam - Thank you so much for posting that Pie Jesu! God her voice is beautiful  This piece is actually my very favorite Lloyd Weber composition. This version of it just beat out the recording I have. Do you know if she has a recording of it? (Clearly THIS is the type of voice I love - I was feeling kinda weird last week when everyone was loving Adele and I was really disliking her voice - glad to have found some common ground :D) |

Just a comment to add to RCA Ed's confirmation that this is DVD release and the CD is the bonus.
1. Retailers are classifying this as a CD so it is getting stocked in the music section vs. the DVD section. That is what Adam/RCA/fans want because that is where buyers look.
2. Music reviewers are reviewing the DVD/CD and therefore listing it as a CD/DVD -- that is a good thing IMO because the alternative is Film/TV reviewers who would not bother to review it.
Finally, RCA Ed has more patience than I would have because he gets pummeled with questions that presume that RCA is brain-dead and need fans to plan the strategy. I have noticed that he usually selected the intelligent questions to respond to but some of the radio questions on AO.com range from silly to down-right mean.

You always seem to "cut to the quick" in a totally understandable & accessible way! |

I have a partial answer on Aftermath Remix and radio.
1. Adam seemed to have jumped the gun when he said to request.
2. RCA Ed had his timing messed up -- it is going out to radio next week -- it will be a digital file emailed to stations. (I do not have official confirmation from RCA on this, this is what 3 radio PDs have told me they understand is happening.)
3. After the Trevor Project campaign is over -- April 10 to May 10th (no date yet), Aftermath Remix will be sent to digital retailers -- iTunes, Amazon MP3 and others. At this point the current plan is to have an add date and do a soft push for airplay (not a lot of promo money).
4. Everything related to this appears to be in motion and could change at any moment.
There appears to have been some miscues on this single's release because I do not believe RCA planned it. Since it took a non-traditional path, some of the normal processes were not followed, and that resulted in a lot of confusion. I am getting the impression that this is one Adam kind of mucked up a bit. However, it looks like it will work out fine in the end, and he will get an extra single out of FYE in the US.
My question is that I wonder if Adam purposely tweeted that radio request tweet to demonstrate the song was popular and should go to radio. Just a thought -- but I have never seen him miss that much in the past. Plus the Tampa and Philly pull backs on playing the song were just odd.
I think it should all be clearer next week. In the meantime, I would wait until stations have the song before requesting. In other words, ignore Adam's tweet.
