And, why hasn’t Slezak, arguably the biggest supporter of Allison in the media, reviewed snipets/full songs of the album!!!! Is Jive providing Slezak with what he needs?

Allison is on the east coast this week… maybe she’s gonna pay Slezak a little visit. I think overall promo is definitely picking up.

JohnM: Orlando’s not much farther than that for you ‘” December 18 jingle ball, perhaps?

I don’t think I’ll be able to attend as much as I want to see this band live. Who knows tho.

Jack5791 :I get a feeling from this interview that a lot of her songs might sound the same, and they all seem to be really about the same subject material.

I don’t think Alli was saying the album to be about the same subject. It’s difficult for Alli as it is for me as well, to express a creative thought in a manner others can understand. The way to fully express yourself is to materialize your artistic vision. I’m going to help her explain this “same” bit with Pink Floyd. Now, am not saying “Just like you” is up there with Floyd, but it is in the same vein in relation to the theme of the album. Dark Side of the Moon, one of the most influential rock albums of all time had a principal theme at it’s vertebra: madness. The main theme remain constant across the album( Conflict,greed,dark), but with variation explaining different angles of madness. Allison explains that payback is sweet as the theme of Just Like You. And she tries to explain the sequence of the album which is very impresive in and of it self. Similar to Pinks “breakup” album.

Allison should think about covering this song – it fits right into her theme, and this chick had attitude, too. It still sound good to me!

PS The tweets are fine with me. She’s 17 and of the texting generation. Snnapppsss.

Well, I get from the little we’ve heard that Scars, Don’t waste the pretty, No one else, Holiday and D is for dangerous aren’t angry breakup songs and You don’t know me is more personal rather than directed to a guy. The other half are break up songs or relationship trouble songs like Robot Love and Beat me up.

Wow!!!!

Who was it during the tour who said that Alli wasn’t photogenic?

Ok. This Dilana thing is really rubbing me the wrong way.

Well, I am not planning on buying Dilana’s, so I will just enjoy Allison’s version.
Also, I am sure Allison will play it live too, so there is that.

Anyone knows where to find an updated list of gigs/appearances? I didn’t find anything on her official website, or her facebook page.

But it does explain why the tracks are practically identical!

Kind of embarrassing for whoever is at fault!

I find it hard to believe that nobody knew what was going on!

Anyway, I hope Alli makes an impact on the music world!

If Eliot Yamin can go gold why not Alli!?

Rub: Im down in Miami, and when I went to check out the Demand it thing, we were like 12th or something. It all points to NY. Thats your neck of the woods right? ..or so I read in your concert review, I could have mistaken.

Yeah — not exactly NYC, but I’m about half an hour from Albany NY, which is where I saw her on the AI tour. We’re about 3 hours north of NYC — not that I ever go there.

Orlando’s not much farther than that for you — December 18 jingle ball, perhaps?

JohnM :Hard to know based on snippets, of course, but it doesn’t sound that way to me. Course, I’ve only listened to Adam’s snippets a few times’ ¦

You’re right. I don’t know what I was thinking. Just that Kris’ sound is very organic, very Richard Marx. I like Richard Marx.

The label normally owns your music. I’ve seen cases were they never release artists music just because they’re not interested in it, and they sit on it. Artists can’t do anything, but the label can do whatever they want. Thats why I want Allison’s record to see the light of day. Anything else, is bonus!!

PRMari: It kind of sucks about Holiday, it seems like Dilana decided to release the album after the song was sold to Allison.
JohnM: Or she kept the decision to herself, figuring she’ll get more royalties from Allison’s album than from her own’ ¦

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Dilana learned after the fact that Allison was doing the song. Which opens up a third option: there are higher ups who trade/offer/sell published music who sold rights to Allison peeps to cover the song but did not know that Dilana was releasing it also (or didn’t care).
Admittedly, I don’t know how this publishing business works, but I know a bit about Property law. If Dilana sold some of her rights on the song to a publishing company (i.e., right to release as a cover or perform), retaining a right to release the song herself, and the publishing company sold Allison the right to cover the song, then it is possible that both releases were being worked on at the same time without knowledge of the other.

Or she kept the decision to herself, figuring she’ll get more royalties from Allison’s album than from her own’ ¦

I didn’t want to come right out and say it here but that was exactly what crossed my mind. That and how she may have gotten more promo from Allison covering the song that on her own, which really, really sucks.

Nice to see this ’she’s too young to have life experience’  nonsense debunked, straight from the source.

Yup, pretty much my feelings exactly. In the first part she was sort of backing away from talking about her personal life experiences but I’m glad to see her opening up and putting that out there. I always felt the “too young to know what she’s talking about” was very condescending. She’s young, but she’s not a sheltered kid. I never thought she was an innocent little girl and I don’t mean that in a bad way.

Oh, and we find out for the first time about the guy that inspired the angry breakup music coming from her. He may be kicking himself right about now.

And if he isn’t, I’ll be more than happy to do it for him!

Rub: Perhaps Adam’s and Allis records are somewhat similar

Interesting news about the Philly appearance. No, I haven’t seen anything on the street team site or gotten any emails from them about any appearances other than GMA 12/1 and Ellen 12/3.
