rabbitrabbit - For me it is not really about my favorite song. It may not be my favorite (Shady), but I really love NCOE as much as I love Cuckoo and Trespassing, but I don't think it represents his album and him as an artists and I wouldn't have chosen it as the so important second single. It is a safe song and Adam is not a safe artists. For me it is all about that, not about my favorite song.

Most of the regulars here know I am a huge Katy Perry fan! Yes, I really am!! So much so that I actually went to see her movie today, which BTW, was damn good! I am going to relate this to Adam in a minute. Anyway, I found the part about her 2nd label (Columbia) very, very interesting. They were trying to get her to "fit" into what they thought radio wanted. Trying to figure out what radio would play. She wouldn't budge. She wanted her songs and her quirky styling to be the way it was. In other words, she wanted to be "Katy." They actually came to a stalemate, where Columbia refused to release a single and her album!! BUT, they didn't want to drop her because they thought another label would pick her up and she'd become a huge star for some other label! Somehow, her A&R person (a woman) got Columbia to release her and then this woman quit Columbia and took all of Katy's stuff to Capital and pitched her. Capital agreed that Katy was unique and destined to be a star. They got her 1st single down to 3 choices. Katy said, because of the stuff that happened at Columbia, she was considered damaged goods by both the industry and radio. So, she knew the single had to be BIG!! Capital let her pick it! She chose, "I Kissed a Girl" and the rest is history. So, back to relating this to Adam. After watching the red jacket snippets from today in Poland and seeing the joy and abandon that Adam is doing these Queen songs with I just want RCA's plan to be to "Free Adam!" Forget the safe Adam that did all those radio tours! The safe Adam that RCA thinks everyone wants. I think they are wrong! It was post Idol "wild child Adam" that had the 2 hits in 2010! Not safe Adam! Let Adam be Adam!! I want Shady or Cuckoo or Trespassing. If he's going down, let him go down being himself!! (I may delete this post soon. Just neeeded to vent after coming fresh from the Katy perry movie) THIS! YUP homogenized Adam is not Adam... RCA .. I want Adam to be himself.. no more boxes. I so hope he releases a new song before he starts the PR again.. not like last time.. |

Do NOT delete your post!!! I agree 100% with everything you said about RCA allowing Adam to be his wild-child self. Add Kickin In to the list of possible singles.
The "fans not requesting enough" is bs from the radio stations. The general public may not be requesting enough because the songs are usually played overnight when listeners are scarce but fans ARE. I STILL feel RCA has not handed out the $$$ to the independent promoters and they undoubtedly won't for a 3rd single either. But at least it would be authentic Adam - soar or fail!
One more thing - his Wilkes Barre show was not toned down or "safe" in any way. |

I am very, very confused right now! NCOE is completely off the HAC chart. Did RCA pull it? What is going on?
ETA: Oh, NVM! It must have been purged. CRAP!!! Now what?! :( Damn! The same day it comes out in the UK!
ETAA: I kind of feel like I just got punched in the gut! (I think I'll go watch my KIEV video and eat ice cream.)

Well, it's good that Australia/NZ promo seems to be on the horizon. If the US is going to be difficult, he really needs to get things happening internationally.

The U.S. radio monopolies are the pits... destroying diversity in music . I hope they are broken up as monopolies,It's supposed to be against the law.. HA |
