Idol Musings
The Deal With Adam Lambert’s Big Deal
"When the CEO of a major label grants an interview to Billboard about a new artist signing on the day that said artist is going on national television as a guest judge on American Idol, that’s a good indication that he’s serious about promoting that artist. And that’s good news for Adam."
"A key element of this project is radio friendly songs. While technology continues to change the music business in dramatic and unforeseen ways, radio airplay is still the center of the hit-record universe. One of the things Trespassing lacked was a hit single and for his part, Adam said one of the things he’s learned in the business, and by the business I mean the industry, is how important radio is.
And where does radio airplay come from? First, promotion, promotion, promotion. The record labels must decide whose songs they are going to actively promote and then they must work hard to get radio station programmers to play those songs frequently on the air.
The second, and more obvious, is writing songs that radio will want to play. Enter Max Martin, one the great hit makers in music history. Only two other songwriters have had more #1 songs than Max, a couple of guys I like to call Lennon and McCartney. His work is on the soundtrack of your life somewhere: Britney, Backstreet Boys, Celine, Christina, Pink, Kelly, Avril, Katie, Taylor – no last names needed."

Ok. Something just bugs me????. Buders. Yes he had his ass at every damn station or so it seemed... My question w radio. How is it that I hear crappy songs from UNKNOWN people as I don't want to call them artist, who have AirPlay. I don't recognize them. Their sales are no where what Adam had. So how is it these 'fillers' get played??? When an album who was #1 had little traction. I mean. It didn't have to have top 10 rotation but there are songs played regularly that pretty sure are selling I don't get it |

Testing to see whether I can make the tour map large enough to read.   I failed. I can read it great. In fact, copied and pasted into my email draft notebook. Thanks. |

I wonder if Simon ever reads these reviews and sits there in a cold sweat remembering how close he was to voting "no" at Adam's audition... Ha, ha! I don't believe Simon was ever close to voting "No" It was all for TV drama! Oh yeah, Simon was smiling the whole time. Of course what we saw was after he'd already sang Jackson. As a brit and a Queen fan he had to have been used to theatrical. |

Do we know if Adam is staying in local hotels or flying back to London for this leg of the tour?

Boy...sometimes Adam and I just don't see eye to eye on music....odd... I actually liked this, but a lot of times I don't get what he sees in some bands. I would like to be able to hear what he hears when he listens to music, I know it isn't what most of us hear LOL!! |

Do we know if Adam is staying in local hotels or flying back to London for this leg of the tour? These next few cities are pretty close. Leeds and Manchester are around 50 miles apart, I think. whereas London is much farther. My guess is staying local. And perhaps, by Brian's sarcastic tweet of "our glamorous arrival" they might actually be on buses! |

I failed.
