Woot! Well while waiting for ame to tranlate her review, thought I'd share a technogeek article about the sound processing technology Adam is up against / has available to him. Scarily fascinating: www.soundonsound.com/sos/oct03/articles/vocalfixes.htm Vocal Fixes
Modern Vocal Processing In Practice ...The vocal is the one element of a recording that can't yet be emulated by a computer, but it's increasingly encircled by a rapidly expanding pool of plug-in processors, the sheer availability of which seems to have precipitated a new era in vocal effectation. "[Plug-in processors] are like pretzels on a bar," says Nashville engineer/producer Bob Bullock, whose credits include the Tubes, Reba McEntire and Shania Twain. "They're within easy reach and you can't eat just one." *** (courtsey of fuzzywuzzy @mjs) very interesting. After reading this I am not surprised the "stars" are lip syncing live - no way they can reveal their real "abilities". One thing I am sure about - very soon the computerized help will be plugged into the mic's output system and voila! - live singing will be perfect for everyone! (I am lucky - my opera world di dnot get there yet...I will stay there ;D) |

At least for me , I live in Syria , and I don't have a clue about "what is radio friendly or not" , But I think if a song "awakens something in you" , the it's a hit . and believe me , neither BTIKM , or NCOE awakened something in me, it just didn't click like "Shady" , or "Cuckoo" , or "Trespassing" . |

My bet would be CUCKOO, ok blank out the "F" and "cocked" words and I think this is really catchy and tweenies would love this especially the partying aspect.  THe "cocked' word is in the second for third verse of the song. I think because Adam sings it, the PD's would snub him if it was CeeLo or even Rihanna, no problem.! BTW Q102 has taken NCOE off their playlist as well as on the front page, you can no longer vote for it.  Last week NOCE was #32. TOday, not in the #300 maybe a clerical error who knows. Maybe they are getting ready for the third single? I hope 8-) |

I am thinking that TP should be the next single - great, catchy, anthemic song and a title song as well - can help with album association.... |

Unless of course pd's think it's dirty just because it's Adam.  I just checked Q102's mediabase chart. It's still there for me. You can also do the green thumb voting by starting to type it. AND it's also on the Top 10 at 10 list. Maybe it's been removed from the station playlist (haven't checked that) but it's still on the places I mentioned. |

Lol, while I am sure Shoshanna is happy enough with the chart results, there is absolutely no way she would ever say on twitter if she wasn't. I hope it is enough to get something going in the UK. They may be ready for a new single in the UK if Radio 1 is not biting. But, I don't think they should go ahead with another single in the US unless they have "figured out the radio situation," or have a brand-new strategy to sell a song. Shoshanna could have easily passed on that question but she chose to answer it. That is important. Adam has an album and a single that debuted in the Top 20 in the UK. There is nothing but good in that. Trespassing exceeded sales expectations and has been restocked 2 times at HMV (the most important music retailer in the UK). They need to convince retailers to stock Adam's music and they have done that. RCA/Sony is treating this like the launch of a new artist and considers Adam to be an artist in development. And the path is promising. ******* If the measure of Adam's success is going to be radio airplay on Radio 1, KIIS FM Los Angeles and similar stations around the world, forget it. These stations' playlists target 15/18-25 year olds and have an urban-oriented playlist. Adam as a recording artist is being marketed as an Adult Pop artist --- basically women 25-49. Does he have fans in the "coveted" 18-25 age group? Sure. But that is not the focus of the RCA/Sony marketing effort. Could he get a cross-over hit? Sure, but not likely. It would take a song like Levine's "Moves Like Jagger" -- and that song did a lot for Adam Levine, not so much for Xtina. ETA: "Adult Pop" is NOT saying HAC radio format, but saying much of CHR/Pop, all of HAC and some AC stations. It is the biggest music-buying segment in the world, #2 in the US to Country. ******* Regarding a third single -- It is really easy for us to post on a fan forum that they should say WTF and release Trespassing or Cuckoo as a 3rd radio single, but promoting a 3rd single in the US/Canada would cost about as much as the first 8 tracks of Adam's third album. For me the measure of Adam's success is that he continues to create music, and perform, and makes some money, and is happy. Adam performing at the Hammersmith with Queen was joyful. He appeared to be as happy as I have even seen him. (Either that or he is a much better actor than we know.) Finally, there is no way to underestimate the value of the Queen concerts in getting Adam recognized as a unique vocal talent/performer. This is where he really shines. The concerts are still generating buzz and building his reputation in the UK and beyond. The money in the music business in now in live performances -- not sale of recorded music -- and Adam is perfectly positioned to capitalize on this. |

shoshanna stone @shoshannastone and this story is hilarious www.music-news.com/shownews.asp?H … I mean....... www.music-news.com/shownews.asp?H=Adam-Lambert-is-boyband-fan&nItemID=54240Adam Lambert is boyband fan Adam Lambert would love to be in *NSYNC. The American singer was quizzed on his views about British boybands One Direction and The Wanted. He couldn't answer which group he admires the most, explaining his is still a fan of bands from the '90s. 'Hmmm. I'd be in *NSYNC,' he laughed. The American group comprised of Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick. Adam released his second record Trespassing earlier this year. He is proud of the album and thinks it will appeal to many different types of people if they give it a go. 'I really believe in its message and its grooves. I truly believe there's something for everyone on this album,' he told Just Pop! magazine. MORE |
