		<description>Wow... I just listened to the whole album end to end for the first time on the AOL stream.  What an amazing album!!  Even Robot Love sounds good to me.  I was on my feet for D is for Dangerous.  Oh man, I love that song!  I got up again for No One Else.  I could see a whole stadium of sway bots when she sings that song live!  Its so good!  I stayed on my feet for Beat Me Up - and let&#039;s just say its a good thing nobody else is here right now... it coulda been embarrassing!  And I guess I never thought of You Don&#039;t Know Me as a dance song, but guess what - it is!

So now, hearing it like this... I think I put D is for Dangerous, No One Else, and You Don&#039;t Know Me on equal footing  - with You Don&#039;t Know Me as still my pick for the next single or at least *a* single.</description>

		<description>Did everybody see that MJ has a new link to a stream at AOL?  They also provide the lyrics to some of songs there - which is nice.  Just Like You&#039;s lyrics are totally wrong, though.</description>

		<description>JohnM - You may be right about DWTP (and we know it&#039;ll be fantastic live), time will tell.  I&#039;m not a big fan of the DWTP studio recording (love the acoustic), but the younger fans (and you!) seem to like it.

I wouldn&#039;t mind hearing another song from the album, though.  I think they could save the next single for a separate promotion.  I still want it to be You Don&#039;t Know Me!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LoveDaRocker&lt;/strong&gt;: Hope Z100 adds her.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

My wife says they and KIIS are notorious for interviewing people but not adding them.  Bleh.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;alli lurker&lt;/strong&gt;: She says No One Else is her favorite song on the album, and she&#039;s said before that she can&#039;t wait to do that one live. Maybe she&#039;ll choose that one for GMA?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I suspect that she&#039;s not the one who got to choose for that.  My bet is on DWTP as both the second GMA song (she&#039;d better get two!) and the second single, since that&#039;s the second song mentioned in the promo materials along with FIBOU.

&lt;blockquote&gt;It would be fun to have another live performance of a different song to add to our &#039;collection&#039;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes indeed, but even if it&#039;s one we&#039;ve already gotten, it&#039;ll be way different because it&#039;ll be with the full band.

Speaking of No One Else being her favorite (which she mentioned quite a while back along with Holiday), does it strike anyone else as a bit weird that it&#039;s her favorite while DWTP was her least favorite?  Now, I typically pay almost no attention to lyrics, so I&#039;m going by just a general impression of what those two songs are about.  But when she said to Lyndsey Parker that she wasn&#039;t crazy about DWTP, she mentioned preferring angry/angsty songs -- aren&#039;t both DWTP and No One Else kind of, I don&#039;t know, &quot;heartwarming&quot; sorts of &quot;you&#039;re so great&quot; songs?  Or is it that I&#039;m totally out to lunch and should just go pay attention to the lyrics before I spout my mouth off??</description>

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hxXOXciYTs1w9D0FRTf2BjYyBLtgD9C9RK2G1

Yeah, she&#039;s soo inarticulate -- and if you believe that, I&#039;ve got a bridge I&#039;d like to sell you...

Oh, also, I keep forgetting to mention -- Elvis Duran said a couple of weeks ago that she was going to be on Z100 -- that&#039;s been confirmed via the street team Twitter account -- she&#039;ll be on this Wednesday.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;If Friday is re-worked a bit to make it more rocking, and she bring&#039;s Barracuda-at-Conan energy to it, it could make a big difference.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I think we can always assume that Alli&#039;s live performances will be better than her studio recordings.  Did anybody happen to see the &#039;Sunday Morning&#039; show yesterday?  They did a piece on Tom Petty.  They said he built his reputation on live performances.  I think it&#039;ll be the same way for Allison.  Hell, its already that way for her... just look at her acoustic performances of Just Like You and Don&#039;t Waste the Pretty.

Soon we&#039;ll all be following her around like the Grateful Dead and comparing how she did different songs in different cities.</description>

		<description>Rub: Yes, you have mentioned many times (years? LOL) that Friday would be a good live song.  But I didn&#039;t get (as I did from JohnM&#039;s post) the idea of a more rocking arrangement.
For example, to me, Kris&#039; LLWD sounds exactly the same live than it does on the recording.  So, it didn&#039;t&#039; change my mind one way or the other.  Compare that to Kelly Clarkson&#039;s Already Gone, in which her live version is 10 times better than the recording.

Agreed.  And me too...  I always said she&#039;d kill that song live.</description>

		<description>I mentioned that FIBOU seems to be stalled on radio -- here are the numbers for last week.

On pop, her rank dropped from 73 to 77.  Her spins were exactly the same as the previous week -- 104.  However, the particularly bad news is that her audience impressions dropped way back down, from 0.181 to 0.102.  I imagine that&#039;s because the Memphis station, which has a pretty big market and has been by far the song&#039;s biggest supporter (because of the jingle ball she&#039;s doing there), is dropping back significantly.  She got more spins in Las Vegas, which is a bigger market than Memphis, but it obviously wasn&#039;t enough to keep her audience impressions up.

On Hot AC, her rank went up from 162 to 128, on an increase in spins from 6 to 11.  Her audience impressions went up from 0.025 to 0.047.  So, positive movement, but such small numbers that it&#039;s basically negligible.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And another point that no one has brought up &#039;â€ FIBOU can be a very different song live than it is on the album. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
No one has brought it up? I&#039;ve been saying it for years. If dwtp is any indication of how a live version sounds, theN look out.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;FIBOU can be a very different song live than it is on the album. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
That&#039;s an excellent point.  
She blew Conan away, and I am still mad at Slezak for preferring to talk about Dan Carvey appearance on Conan that same night, instead of Allison.
Slezak is making it up with asking Kris and Adam whether they have already pre-ordered Allison&#039;s album in their Realite interviews.</description>

		<description>Whatever the single is, that&#039;s what you play, everywhere you go.  Gets old for the devoted fans, but that&#039;s the way the game is played -- you push the single.  (And Adam not playing FYE on the Early Show was a special situation -- it appears they&#039;ve ditched it as a single already, not to mention that his appearance there was post-AMA damage control -- having Mommy along and all.)

And FIBOU is the single, so at this point the assumption is that that&#039;s what she&#039;ll be playing everywhere.  On the other hand, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s out of the question that they might switch singles already, given that FIBOU&#039;s airplay seems to be stalled at the moment, but we don&#039;t know what the behind-the-scenes situation is (relationships with radio stations, etc.), and thus I don&#039;t think we have any reason to assume that they are ready to (or should) move on from FIBOU.  If they think it&#039;s still viable and just needs time, they&#039;ll stick with it.  If they don&#039;t, they&#039;ll move on.  Given that she&#039;s essentially a new/unknown artist, unlike Adam because of the super media hype, it&#039;s most likely gonna take a fair bit of time -- especially with the Christmas slowdown in adoption of new songs.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;matkojapan&lt;/strong&gt;: considering Kris&#039; epic fail in his first week&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I wouldn&#039;t call Kris&#039; first week an epic fail at all.  I&#039;d call it a bit of a slow start.  Given the crappy state of album sales, plus the fact that his single is rising very well on radio, plus the fact that he&#039;s been overshadowed by Adam in the attention department, I don&#039;t think there&#039;s any reason to worry about him at this point.  Plus, his sales/airplay performance has nothing to do with Allison&#039;s.

And another point that no one has brought up -- FIBOU can be a very different song live than it is on the album.  They may have worked up a far more rockin&#039; arrangement.  I think it&#039;s quite possible that the arrangement will give her and the band the opportunity to leave people as blown away as Conan was after Barracuda.  And that would both give exposure to the single and show people that she&#039;s a rocker rather than a teeny-bopper.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m with you &lt;strong&gt;Rub&lt;/strong&gt;, I have no problem with her doing Friday on both shows.  She&#039;ll ROCK it and it&#039;ll be really fun.  And a second song on GMA?  Yeah - DWTP.  Maybe even the acoustic version with Dave.  She&#039;ll blow everyone away.

Can&#039;t wait!!</description>

		<description>Just listened to the stream. I am so impressed with her first album. I am not worried about her early sales, as she will be among the slow but steady rise. She has some very spinable songs and, possible hits. 
My Personal favs are(and I&#039;m not sure of the order yet...Don&#039;t Waste The 
Pretty(love it), Scars(deep if not profound), Pieces, Holliday( absolutely lush),and You Don&#039;t Know Me(one for runn&#039;n loop in head)!!!!!
Some are good dance tracks for the clubs. Quite a few are very in sync with teen angst( I do talk to the niece)  what isn&#039;t directly voiced, has the atmosphere of the mine fields kids have to negotiate.!!!</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;LoveDaRocker&lt;/strong&gt; in my view, Friday outclasses FYE &amp; LLWD and Ellen loves to dance and features high energy music to kickoff the show. Unless Alli does Holiday(doubtful) then yeah, coz people need to request the song and PDs need to take notice and spin it. Besides, there&#039;s a mv to be pushed. Patience patience. The second tune should be dwtp.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Rub&lt;/strong&gt;, I don&#039;t think playing a different song at Ellen is &quot;ditching&quot; FIBOU.  &lt;strong&gt;matkojapan &lt;/strong&gt;has a point that Ellen&#039;s audience is not the type that would be crazy about FIBOU, but would probably dig Scars, TI, JLY, or YDKM (wow, so many to chose from) (disclaimer: not because Ellen audience are &quot;lesbians&quot;; my comment is not acceptance of matkojapan&#039;s &quot;lesbian&quot; &quot;joke&quot;).  
Another interesting point is that Adam played two songs at the Early Show and none of them was FYE.  FYE was not right for the Early Show and, although for different reasons, FIBOU may not be right for Ellen.

ETA: Adam did not play FYE at Letterman&#039;s &quot;Late Night&quot; show (LOL; why not Adam? Kids should be in bed by then :-))</description>

		<description>but in all seriousness, considering Kris&#039; epic fail in his first week and Allison&#039;s poor sales of her first single so far, isn&#039;t it time for her management to change strategy a wee bit?

if u r gonna play GMA you shouldn&#039;t play FIBUO, just like Adam wouldn&#039;t have played FYE if he had the chance!  right?  What market are u playing to there?

what tween watches that?

And first and foremost, Allison must pander to my whims!!  lol</description>

		<description>She needs to performe Friday first and foremost. It&#039;s a good song, cmon you guys are showing your age. Gotta support the single - no need to abandon ship. There&#039;s also the possibility of a performance on Alexa Chung over at MTV.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t get GMA here in Japan so I am counting on MJ!  I know she will come through!  :)

If she gets two performances there, than I can live with FIBOU as one of them I guess

She needs to ditch Friday for Ellen.  I like the song but the audience watching that are not tweens!!</description>

		<description>FIBOU will probably be played at the GMA, given that it is the first single, and GMA usually gets two performances.
Ellen, on the other hand, only gets one performance.  I hope its one of the stronger songs.</description>
