[/IMG] [/quote] But what I am discovering is that it really isn't about the song, at least for someone in Adam's position. It is about the label and management getting him the buzz and exposure (and the "right" buzz and exposure) to catch people's attention, and with that, radio's attention. And, it is a lot about timing and getting the timing right. Imagine if PLL had come about as Adam was dropping his CD; and Cuckoo or Trespassing was the lead single. And then imagine if DMG and RCA had all kinds of TV promo set up to follow the success of PLL. It could have been a whole different situation. |

I think they counted on the buzz of the #1 album, and on the buzz of the Billboard and Rolling Stone reviews... And IMHO they didn't understand that they had to help create and perpetuate that buzz with continuous exposure. I don't know. |

I don't think the quote is an indicator of anything. I think it is being grossly taken out of context. He just seems to be making an off the hand comment; "Yeah, it was great to work with her before, I'm up for it again! Peeps, get to askin' for it, if you want to see it happen!" Seems to be a fairly innocuous statement, actually.
Honestly, I see no problems between Adam and RCA at the moment. They extended a great deal of trust in him by giving him executive producer on this album. And even though the album isn't performing up to FYE, they still seem intent to stand behind him for now. And, as PLL showed, the album can appeal to those outside the fan base when given exposure. Even if the songs didn't sell 100's of thousands, the bump was significant, and proves he will sell if exposed.
I don't believe it too out of line for fans to be befuddled by RCA's choices sometimes, afterall, we're on the outside looking in, with the blinds down and the mute button on. Fans can only guess the what's or why's. I also don't blame RCA for being cautious. Audiences are fickle, and it's hard to say what will or won't grab their attention. And let's face it, they're quick to forget as well. It's sure to be frustrating for fans (and artists alike), but it is what it is.

I also think, when looking at the choices RCA has made, it is good to keep in mind that we don't know what they were hearing behind the scenes. We don't know what they were being told by PDs, and we don't really know just how hard radio might have been pushing back.
