Comments on: Adam Lambert Releases a Statement On the Release of his Pre-Idol Recordings http://mjsbigblog.com/adam-lambert-releases-a-statement-on-the-release-of-his-pre-idol-recordings.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Mon, 22 Mar 2010 02:13:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: arkangel http://mjsbigblog.com/adam-lambert-releases-a-statement-on-the-release-of-his-pre-idol-recordings.htm/comment-page-7#comment-287284 arkangel Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:25:14 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/adam-lambert-releases-a-statement-on-the-release-of-his-pre-idol-recordings.htm#comment-287284 I find it very offensive that Hi Fi Recordings is featuring Adam on their home page as if he were one of THEIR properties. Even worse, they've edited his response/quote to make it look like he's behind the release of this sham record. What a bunch of jerks!!! They may think they're going to cash in on this deal, but I hope it ends up hurting them big time! I think people should boycott ALL Hi Fi/Wilshire products until they make this right.

I love the song "Want" and I want to purchase it, because it's Adam singing it. A lot of people are capitalizing on Adam. Including Ebay, Jewelry companies, t-shirt companies, make-up companies, magazines, and many more. We, the fans, realize that this is not his new album. So, what's the harm?

Last night Wilshire Records had the song "December" by Dublyn Jones posted at the top of their site jukebox. The lyrics and melody were identical to the leaked "Want" song. And now today the song "December" is conspicuously missing. I think the company's promotion of the identical song by a different artist on their site lends credence to Adam's statement that the vocals were from flat rate session singing, and not as Hi Fi/Wilshire claim, some early collaboration and songwriting with Adam. And their removal of that song this morning adds to that impression. I will say, last night hearing both versions, I was pretty impressed that Adam's vocals managed to make a crap song kinda listenable. The Dublyn Jones version was truly awful. Yep weareallinnocent you’re right.

The song itself is, as most have pointed out, craptastic. Blah lyrics, music and arrangement. I would only buy the album if Adam were to actually receive royalties from the sales and had endorsed its release. Otherwise, I will just get the songs in other ways, shameful to admit but I am so fan crazy I would actually listen to anything by him. I bought both the vid and studio version of NB :redface_wp: Plus, I want to support him so I can hear him for many years to come. So, I buy what he puts out there. Those detachable coattails will indeed come in handy. Adam sounds great on this song, as usual his voice is beautiful. The song itself is, as most have pointed out, craptastic.

The Hi Fi album will just be treated like Adam's iTune album of AI8 then. It will only be a problem if the RCA album is not that good. Hi Fi has already made themselves look like asses.

Okay people! Who is going to be the genious to start a #hi-fiisadouche campaign?

And you want to make this little-known company more high profile and widely known becauseà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦?

Because people will know the whole story and know why they should not buy this album? Because I believe the majority of people may still think that they should buy the album anyway to support Adam, even though it is pre-Idol (not realizing about the legal/voice for hire issues). I’m just sayin’

I agree with papercut- Hi Fi is using Adam- it does not reflect his work or even his backing.

I hate Hi Fi right now

I agree with this also.

It's better than NB!!! I wouldn't have bought it (I downloaded Is Anybody Listening, but I paid for it and I also bought the DVD, which is craptastic but kind of funny). I hope Adam didn't lose any money on THIS download... I really would like Adam to release ONE single before or during or after the tour b/c I want new, FRESH music, but I don't want it to sound rushed. Maybe RedOne has produced something hot...there are still two weeks until the Tour, after all. I have calmed down, in other words. :) I think Adam and Sony/RCA/19 will handle this just fine (please please please) and it's not This Is My Now, plus you can actually sing along to it!!! As long as it doesn't hurt Adam in the short or long term, I'm cool, and from experience it seems as if 19 has played the game before and knows how to proceed. Sue for the bed...and of course ADAM FTW Okay, I caved in (of course) and downloaded it (SUCH a fantard). It’s better than NB!!!

I am so ready to take this crazy ride with him. The song isn't bad, it's just not great! I have no problem listening to it because of Adam's great vocal. But I wouldn't buy it because Adam is not endorsing it. I don't think it will hurt Adam as long as his real new musics are good. The new album is what that matters. Adam really needs his positive outlook and focus to carry him through all these craziness. Or else he might break down like Susan Boyle. "Is Anybody Listening" is awesome! I bought it a while back from Itunes. Being Adam’s fan sure feels like riding a rollercoaster. I am so ready to take this crazy ride with him. The song isn’t bad, it’s just not great!

It would appear from those search results, Adam is not a member (his name is not hyper-linked. His co-writer Monte Lee Pittman appears to be the member). New songs may not appear on this list either because they have not yet been submitted or because none of the authors are members of that association. Lots of songwriters are not (for whatever reason - likely because they chose not to join).

Hi-Fi owns these recordings and it sounds like they are rushing this thing out to capitalize on his fame. It will be interesting to find out if he will share in the profit. They probably don't own his "likeness" or name, so they may have to pay him something for the use of his name and photo.
