Adam Lambert, Paula Abdul and Snoop Dogg to announce the AMA Nominations Next Week

This just in:

Adam Lambert, Paula Abdul and Snoop Dogg will announce the American Music Award nominations on October 13th at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

I’m hearing this is a press conference, and won’t air live on television. Although I would assume there will be video after the fact.

The American Music Awards will air on ABC on November 22.

ETA: The AMAs will air two days before Adam’s album drops on the 24th. ABC isn’t FOX, but they have a good relationship with the Idols, nonetheless. Adam appearing on the AMA telecast to promote his album is a pretty good bet at this point…

I’ll be editing more details into this post as they become available…watch this space for details.

    FYI

  • 4evrmomof4:

    this is strange:

    Someone posted Adam’s QOTD in advance on his Youtube channel:

    (warning -every question is just as lame as the first one)

  • Susan M.:

    Because I have no choice but to go along for the ride, I have to believe that RCA/Sony believe they have something worth the build up, secrecy, and anticipation because they have enough experience to understand if product is weak and anticipation is super high, then they will have a massive flop’ ¦

    Very good point 4evermom and though this is my first time following this kind of thing, I’m inclined to agree there is more secrecy than is the norm. (Especially in the age of Twitter.) People were tweeting right and left during the summer when they worked with Adam and now suddenly, it has completely stopped, although we still know everyone is working fast and furious.

    With films, if a studio is worried about a film, they will hype the hell out of it early in hopes to recoup some of the investment with a big opening weekend before the word-of-mouth gets out. I think it’s exciting that they are keeping this launch (from our outside perspective) targeted and organized, with not a lot of haphazard leaks.

    With the TFM video shoot, if it wasn’t for the girl whose grandparents lived on the street, we would have nothing but that singular Adam tweet of confirmation. No grips, no catering people, no extras tweeted a word. It’s interesting.

  • Studio57:

    Cindy M: I want the album work to come first.

    Oh, I do too, but like Kris and Allison’s singles are tying people over until the album is out, I just want something else to overanalyze until Adam’s album comes out, lol. I can wait for the album. I just want to know what the hell I can expect from this guy. So yeah, I am impatient. it was never a strong suit of mine.

  • garden gnome:

    From the AMA website:

    WHAT: Recording artists Paula Abdul, Adam Lambert and Snoop Dogg will announce the Nominations for the “2009 American Music Awards” in the Sunset Ballroom of the Beverly Hills Hotel on Tuesday, October 13.

    Recording artists usually have some music out there! Day-um! Maybe they will leak the single tomorrow and release the single on Monday? Download on Itunes on Tuesday? Please!

  • mmb:

    Adam is a recording artist — he recorded No Boundaries (hehehehe — which I actually like)

  • He also recorded every song he sang during the competition, and these were sold. He’s a recording artist.

  • aa618892:

    To tide us over, DDD Forums discussed Adam again and someone posted this vid (audio only) that I had not heard before. Adam is singing MJ’s “You Can’t Win”. Just WOW. The crowd goes crazy.

  • 4evrmomof4:

    aa618892,

    this was posted on twitter a few days ago & peeps were going wild there as well. Did DDD discuss this after it was posted? I just loved it myself….

  • 4evrmomof4:

    I guess we are not the only one waiting impatiently-these peeps are making plans, though(they just put the call out on twitter):

  • aa618892:

    4evrmomof4- Wow, these peeps are proactive!
    Any news on how the preorders are doing in other countries? I haven’t seen international rankings lately.

  • 4evrmomof4:

    I don’t know how to check international rankings

    However, international fans have been posting there private and Facebook fan sites on twitter at a fast clip in several different languages.

    DDD has wonderfully intelligent conversations, huh? They break down the performances into best seconds of a song. That is really awesome.

    Plus Adam is truly gifted vocally…

    Just a reality check here ‘” wrt Adam’s album and single, there is no ‘build up’ , there is no ’secrecy’ ’ ¦.he is making his album as recording artists do; his pr and label people have a plan for its roll-out; everything is as it usually is with most recording artists ‘” rca and 19 and adam are not toying with his fan base, or trying to whip people into a frenzy. They are doing what is always done. I don’t recall too many leaks etc. with other albums of artists I like ‘” why should there be any with Adam. He will drop a single in a week or two or three’ ¦his album will come out on Nov. 24 . End of story.

    This! I was just going to say that while I, too, like most fans here, tend to check in every day, and much much more than once a day for any news- we must come to terms with the fact that we are all a little screwd up in the head… I mean, this isn’t exactly normal behaviour, is it? You know how I know it isn’t? Because I don’t tell anyone in my real life how often I really come in here, I would die of shame to admit it…

    So please, before we get angry at Adam or his producers, let’s all remind ourselves that he’s the normal, healthy one here, who’s actually focused on his craft, and hopefully will produce something listening-worthy at least- and crazily awsome at best, whearas us? We’ve just lost it…

  • Mary102:

    LOL! Well said, mr.

    And we are all definitely a little screwed up in the head :-)

  • Tess:

    My latest theory….since Adam is the newest pride of Rolling Stone I’m thinking that there might be a collaboration between the magazine and Adam’s album release. So, since issue 1089 is releasing on Oct 15th (+-) with U2 on the cover…maybe 1090 releasing Nov. 15th (approx) will be devoted to Adam and his new album.

    Just a theory….

  • 4evrmomof4:

    hope springs eternal for Nov 15th RS Adam feature- how embarrassed i am to say that I subscribed a bit ago, because it was cheaper for a year than for 3 issues off the stand..

  • Did RS become monthly? I know for the longest time it was every two weeks and the subscription on the website still says 26 issues. Can anyone confirm? The only reason I ask is that it would then be issue 1091 coming out on Nov 12-13, with 1090 coming out Oct 29-30…

  • Mary102:

    maybe 1090 releasing Nov. 15th (approx) will be devoted to Adam and his new album.

    oohh – that would be awesome! Where’s elephant1212 when we need her ;-)

  • Squirrely:

    I subscribed to RS and Elle – so sad

  • 4evrmomof4:

    It is every 2 weeks, I believe, my error

  • 4evrmomof4:

    I have thus far resisted subscribing to Elle- oh, please don’t tempt me for just one issue

    Squirrely, btw, when does that one issue come out? (gotta be the first one at the bookstands to look drool over my issue

    boy, I have to have a class in strikethru usage!

    No worries! I stopped my subscription in the 90s, so I didn’t have first hand experience anymore – and in this economy, it wouldn’t have surprised me if they had changed to monthly.

    I think another Adam cover is definitely in the cards, based on the fact that the last one sold out. :) But maybe not until after the album is released so they have some sales numbers to talk about?

    ETA: or so there are pictures from the (potential) AMA appearance…to slowly bring this back on topic ;)

  • Mary102:

    LOL! Since when have sales numbers been a prerequisite for any sort of Adam PR ;-)

  • 4evrmomof4:

    Jim must be getting some angry comments-he wrote a response article:

  • LOL! Since when have sales numbers been a prerequisite for any sort of Adam PR

    So true! I was just thinking about making it a meatier article than just looking at the pretty and chatting up the hype. ;)

  • Mary102:

    You’re just trying to make trouble by using the word “meatier” in that sentence, aren’t you ;-)

    You caught me! ;)

  • Bowie1:

    I know this is OT but ….I wonder if there will be another mention of “suspect zero” on Flash Foward tonight? They showed the stadium scene again last week so……just wondering! I still think they had Adam do that cameo appearance. Sorry..OT!!

  • Tweet from Adam:

    At Capitol studios observing full string orchestra recording for one of my songs!! It’s amazing!!!!!

  • larchcat:

    Okay . . . studio orchestras cost an f@#$ing fortune. RCA is spending some serious dough. I’m starting to feel just a wee bit better . . . .

  • ksgirlfordc:

    I am afraid to post in the Kris threads (tho I did this morning’ ¦eek), b/c I expect this ‘WHO MADE THIS ABOUT ADAM’  avalanche. Peep, I can like BOTH OF THEM.

    But that’s the thing. Some fans can like both but a lot of the time AL “fans” take an article (the one about Slash that had nothing to do with AL) and the entire comment section becomes about AL. This also happens with KA fans so it is a two way street. Go to some of the AL fansites (not necessarity AO). You see the same thing.

  • bridgette12:

    Oh my goodness, Adam singing with a orchestra is mind blowing. I just wonder what Clive Davis thinks of Adam and his singing abilities. He has to be loving having another singer with an powerful voice and out of this world vocal range. I can not wait for this album to come out.

  • asifclueless:

    Tweet from Adam:

    At Capitol studios observing full string orchestra recording for one of my songs!! It’s amazing!!!!!

    YES!!! FULL STRING ORCHESTRA !!!

    Help me here if you can spot an orchestra in the background of this live performance of No Boundaries.
    At 1:25, I think there are 2 ladies with string instruments.
    No wonder I like No Boundaries.

    Adam’s new album will be fabulous, everything for everybody, but the core for everyone is his amazing voice !!!!!!

  • asifclueless:

    Off topic but I don’t know where to post.

    CONGRATULATIONS !!!

    Your President, Barack Obama, won the Nobel Peace Prize.

  • ljsmack:

    Thanks asifclueless You gave me the news first, I then went to CNN after reading your comment. String orchestras and the nobel peace prize–what a great day! New Adam and MJ positive–he brings us the news!
    ETA: If you look at the Born to be Wild video you can see the violinists waving their bows to the beat of the music.

  • ljsmack:

    asifclueless–tried to add to the above post but not successful. If you look at the Born to be Wild video on far left you can see the violinists waving their bows in time to the music–so there is violin history–and yes, also on NoBo.

  • lulumarie:

    Still waiting for more news on Adam. ljsmack I love to see “Far Left ” and NOBO” in same comment. Has a nice ring to it.

  • asifclueless:

    Thank you, ljsmack,

    Yes, I saw quite a few violinists there.
