How is Kelly Clarkson still selling cd other then people liked what they heard on the radio so they bought it? It’s not like two years later they’re going “oh yeah, i forgot to buy her cd the first week it came out..” RCA is happy with her because they continue to support her. If they’re not happy with her, they’d stop promoting her and basically give up on her
Kelly Clarkson is still selling her last CD, sure, but not exactly at a rate of 80K per week.
I think the one thing that can be stated about Katharine is that RCA will continue to milk her for all she is worth. She is gorgeous and looks wonderful on magazine covers, and they’d be fools not to play that out. But we’ll just have to wait and see if her popularity proves to be long-lasting, or if she’s forgotten by this time next year. I make no predictions, because I’m not a fortune-teller.
But I do want to thank you, rad, for explaining to me exactly how the recording industry works, based only on your own buying patterns. Wow, you know the ins and outs of the music biz, and Kat took Clive Davis by the balls and refused to allow him to release her album before January because she knew better than he did. It’s amazing that more multi-billion dollar industries aren’t run by 22-year-old girls! :-)
Did i say anything about how the record industry works?…nope…i think kat will be around this time next year, she has atleast two singles left which will take her to the end of the year, and she’ll be working on a new cd
They blitz promoted her the first week because..she’s not selling well even though they wouldn’t know how much she’s selling? that makes a lot of sense. I guess we’ll see come May what Open Toes can do since it’s rumoured to come out then for a summer song
I can’t wait to hear what “soul” (adult pop) music taylor puts on his next record! but if its anything like his last one i probably won’t even give it a listen. i have yet to actually sit through his current one
I thought “my idol is better than your idol” is off-limits…?
I thought that was an April Fools’ joke. So sad.
my comment about taylor is nothing worse then your comments about kat?
but mj i will stop talking about season 5, i have better things to do tonight then argue with someone who thinks kat is a massive failure despite the proof staring them in the face
rad, in all friendliness, the thing was that we were just talking about Kat and no one else. I could be wrong, but I don’t think mj minds us discussing the past idols, but what she doesn’t want–I *think*–is me saying something nasty about kat and you going, “well, nyah nyah, your idol sucks too.”
It’s okay, I think Taylor’s new CD pretty much sucks too. But you’ve said you like his previous albums and that you thought they were very soulful (or something like that), which was awesome. Too bad Kat doesn’t have any similar previous music that I could hear.
i didn’t think taylors previous cds were at all soul music, but i like some of his previous stuff compared to whats on his cd but i don’t really enjoy it all that much to be honest. there’s no song on there that makes me want to listen to it again as soon as its over (which to me makes a great song).
has anyone heard the downloads yet? supposidly haleys isn’t up yet, i’m listening to blakes and i love it (although he sounds english when he sings all the time?) his voice sounds great for this genre
STOP IT.
Well, it’s all just a matter of taste. I could listen to Taylor’s old stuff over and over and over again. And I have. :-)
Ginas arrangement is old fashion, she didn’t really change anything that way (except the tempo
)I feel bad for Haley, a lot of Gina fans are going to blame her instead of realizing the only reason Gina isn’t on the show is because not enough votes were cast for her as for the other contestants
Chris’ is less whiney. i wish he would stop doing the runs (wow two exact same runs two lines apart) this was actually one of his better songs
Jordin amazes me everytime she opens her mouth, her range and control over her voice for such a young age is phenominal. I could easily see me buying her cd. The trumpet playing in this song is excellent. She holds the last note on the recording a lot higher up and softer then she did live, and it was 6 seconds long
Lakisha has a lot of control over her voice, i know a lot of people think shes really loud, but i don’t hear that from her in a lot of her top 12 performances, she has the voice to go out there and yell every performance and still sounds great, but she always makes it soft and appropriate. She has a weird way of pronouncing words, and her whole voice changes at some parts that kinda freaks me out a little to be honest lol. The band probably loved this week as they really got a chance to shine in everyone of the idols songs, and you really get to perform, not just play chords but actual notes and melodys
Melinda time! Simons right, you can’t really criticize her too much, her phrasing is beautiful, her control is awesome. this song always reminds me of mr.hollands opus when they’re testing out singers. Does anyone know who the idol drummer is? he’s awesome and always looks like he’s having so much fun on stage. Melinda blues-is up the ending of this song. I have no idea what kind of cd she’ll put out after idol though
AFan,
Hey buddy, if you’re on here - sorry about Gina. I know you really thought she rocked. Life isn’t always fair is it.
aka - Gigit
Paul Stacey, not really looking forward to listening to this one because of his performance on tv bored me to tears, he’s not a bad singer at all he just..isn’t anything special? Simon was right when he said it felt like he’d heard him a million times before. He doesn’t seem to have any life or joy in his voice when he sings this song, it does seem dreary at times.zzzzzzzz over a minute left and i feel like i’ve been listening to this song for hours
I’m guessing Phil, Haley will be in the bottom next week, it’ll be interesting to see who gets that last spot
oh yes! Sanjaya, his voice on recording sounds a lot better live, but his singing voice is exactly like his speaking voice. His vocals are always flat lined, they’re all ——- there’s really no peaks or valleys in his voice, he pretty much stays within an octave always and never really goes for anything (unless its the last 3 seconds of the song) i’d like him to actually do something during the rest of the song. Picturing Sanjaya dancing cheek to cheek with a female makes me laugh
rad, are you talking to yourself?
I must have missed something. Who is Paul Stacey?

I must say that I saw Hits Daily Double predictions for album sales for this week- and man do sales suck. Even Hilary Duff is only expected to sell 125k in her debut week.
I bet the record industry is sweating bullets.
They are obviously going to have to reinvent the wheel becuase they are losing millions upon millions of dollars in CD sales.
