Oh right. that’s tricky.
Don’t Waste The Pretty sounds realllllllly familiar. Someone help me out. Maybe like a hootie and the blowfish song? I feel like it’s some.. 90ish guy with a sort of warbly voice and a guitar..
Yeah, what a joke! My Wife The David Cook Fan loves to make snide remarks (to me, not on mj’s!) about how “X’s career is over” — Cook’s career was over because Light On “only” sold whatever it was, 100K or something its first week, Kris’ career is over because LLWD didn’t skyrocket to the top of the charts, etc. etc. etc. It’s all silly.
When her contract was announced, the Jive execs said they wanted to sign her early on and didn’t care where she finished on the show. That means they were willing to bring her in as a new unknown artist — if she had gotten the boot at, say, top 9 or so, she would have had an extremely tiny fanbase — and that means they’re willing to invest in her and let her try to build a following.
Well, although they’re certainly pushing the “girl power” / teen (I don’t know about tween) angle in the marketing, I wouldn’t be surprised if she ends up being more successful on Hot AC with subsequent songs — it feels a lot more like a HAC album to me, overall, than a Top 40 album. Am I nuts? If I’m right, I hope they show enough flexibility to work the angle that makes her more successful, whether that turns out to be teen, adult, girl, boy, whatever.
No. We don’t know what the radio situation is. Jive has the relationships with the stations, and we don’t know what their feeling is about FIBOU’s chances on radio. If they feel there’s still a chance it’ll pick up steam, presumably they’ll stick with it. If they don’t, presumably they’ll ditch it. I’m not saying they’ll necessarily make the right decision — I’m just saying there’s behind-the-scenes information that we don’t have, and thus we have no way of figuring out what the right decision is.
See above about X’s career being over!
Gotta try to let that stuff roll off your back, and see what actually happens where it counts.
Well, I think it says that her demand is more impressive than Walmart thought it would be — so either there’s impressively high demand, or they expected extremely low demand. That’s my take on it, anyway. Let’s hope it’s the former! Amazon and Target both show it in stock.
Ah JohnM, always the rational one… thanks for the pep talk!
(And here I thought you were sleeping!) Do you ever sleep?
No.
Ha! I think of you and PRMari as the sentinels – always keeping watch over Allison threads.
Well, I AM going to sleep now that the Slezak excitement is over. BTW – What did you think of our latest DWTP?
I still say Allison is going to be marketed well. The girl is commercial without the controversy that Adam brings to the table. Just saying. She is the most likely to pull in a following from outside the AI bubble as it appears to me. Finishing 4th may be advantageous b/c it’s a lot of distance from the show in a way. She might actually be better off if she could distance herself from Kris who can in no way distance himself from the show as he is the winner. As part of my theory, perhaps the real reson behind Adam AMA performance was Adam’s attempt to part from the show to hopefully gather a following outside the AI bubble.
Good point. Or maybe it was all just staged that way so they could market her as ‘the outsider’. Who knows what goes on in the idol machine…
Egg-cellent. I agree that it’s the best one yet — I think her voice was in better shape. Kinda felt like maybe it was more subdued than some of the others, though.
Really? I thought it felt very emotional. Could be because the camera was more focused in on her face. And yeah, her voice sounded better, which surprised me because on GMA I thought it was worse.
Good night! Don’t let any disparaging remarks slip through the cracks!
Does anyone know any details of the JBB in Memphis? What other acts will be there? How much are the tickets and where is the concert?
I have to wait until Xmas to get my Allison cd from my friend. “rolling my eyes”
That’s what she wants to give me for Xmas and I just “have” to wait, she says. Well, I was gonna give her the Kris Allen cd she wants earlier, but now I’ll be mean and let her wait too!!! hah!! I’ll just leave it right on my desk so she can see it every time she comes over and…that’s that…:(
Spanish version was very cool.
It was also cool see Valerie F*** Franco at work.
It’s at Sam’s Town Casino down in Tunica, Mississippi. Go to the Q107.5 website at:
http://www.q1075.com
and click on Buy Tickets Now. I just checked, and they do still have tickets. They’re something like $12.75 plus the usual five million dollars in Ticketmaster fees.
The Ticketmaster page warns you that it’s only for adults 21 and older. However, I seriously doubt that that’s true, especially given that it’s a Top 40 kind of show. They probably just say 21+ for all the casino shows because it’s a gambling venue. We’ve gone to two casinos for concerts, and our kids just had to be accompanied by us parents. Still, worth checking on, if you have a young’un you want to bring along.
The other acts that are performing are listed on the page linked above.
