Thanks for "Anal Sunshine." I can't get enough of that.
When does the next Andrew love train leave?

Some advice from an AI blogger:

1. Don’t complain about the contents of posts or the tone of the thread. If you’re feeling all butt-hurt because your favorite Idol is being criticized, it might be time to read something else.
2. Don’t criticize your fellow posters. Respect others’ opinions.
3. Don’t tell others what to post or what to do.
4. Don’t attempt to dictate the discussion.
5. My blog is not Adamland

LOL!

SleepinIn, this comment appeared under that Riddler remix of LLWD you linked to a few days ago:

TJ the DJ Start following Send a message 4 days ago
Fantastic mix man! Gonna use it in my mixshow next week if you have a mixshow edit let me know! timothy.hess@cbsradio.com Thanks man!

(For a mix show on CBS radio -- Z100 -- NYC.)

Feel free to email him...

----------------------------------------------------------------

Since there's not much to post right now, here's an some info about Z100:

WHTZ, also known as Z100, is a radio station that serves the New York City metropolitan area, broadcasting on the FM band at a frequency of 100.3 MHz. Licensed to Newark, New Jersey, the station is currently owned by Clear Channel Communications. The station's transmitter is located on the Empire State Building.
The call letters are supposed to represent the word "hits"; indeed, an early advertising campaign for the station claimed that HTZ was "The New Way to Spell 'Hits' in New York."

Z100's current slogan is "New York's Hit Music Station.", used in tandem on-air with "All The Hits". The long-running "#1" part of the slogan was removed in 2007. The former slogan was "Today's Best Music." Z100 is considered the biggest CHR/Top 40 station in the world, due to its 5 million audience daily. Additionally, according to the radio industry website, RadioStats.Net, Z100's site is the most visited Top 40 radio station website in the world and, in fact, one of the most frequented radio websites overall.

In areas of Central NJ such as Monmouth, and Mercer county this station is unlistenable because of interference with Philadelphia's Y 100.

--------------------------------------------------------------

So -- any idea why WWFM pulled ahead of LLWD on iTunes this weekend? Last time, it was the so-called Oprah bump.

Re: the WWFM vs. LLWD I'm wondering if it wasn't a bump from Adam's VH1 Interview.

Possible. Also, Z100 is supposedly playing the acoustic version of WWFM from the VH1 acoustic thing (I guess?). Then there is the fact that he's #1 on VH1.

I keep thinking of that post on AdamOfficial that said "Remember, it only takes an hour to vote 500 times." 500 (frakin) times??!!

Oh, well. :)

You're a bad fan. Bad, bad fan. I'm going to pretend you didn't say that. La-la-la-la-la...

I had a Chihuahua when I was a kid. Is that a dude-looking dog? I think it is, if the dude is a small Mexican.

BWAH! Chihuahua, isn't that the worst dog ever? LOL.

Thanks for the Pigott bros videos. I still wish they would come to Montréal already! I love their harmonies.

And voting 500 times for VH1? There's no way I would do that for any artist.

No!! Mui cute! Mine was mostly all dark brown, though -- but he looked a lot like this.



He liked to howl when I played the clarinet. Some time I'll have to find a picture.

Pigott Bros. in LA! I think someone said Kris was bored at home and watched 6 movies. He should have gone and seen the Pigotts. :canada:

No wonder Kris went down to #7. Bad, bad fan. You should have voted 3000 times. At least. Your life is not revolving around Kris enough, Kris Fan #2978. Please shape up and start taking this a little more seriously.

(By the way, that "vote 500 times" thing makes re-think laughing at the idea of Glamberts buying multiple albums.)

What? Oh, sorry, I was busy voting. Where was I? 397, 398, 399....

Yes, you're definitely funny. I'll give you big points for the funniness. ;-)

SleepinIn and missaddicted, if you wouldn't mind, could you please watch this JPL "American Nobody" show -- the end part, the interview with the guy from Billboard?

I'd like your impressions. Because he says in so many words what I tried to say back around the AMAs, re Adam's performance. He says it in the nicest, fairest way. I found myself saying "right!" aloud, a couple of times to a certan thing. There's a word he uses that sums up my feelings about it.

What was the word?

I'm thinking it's "unprofessional".. is that it? I can see that. But at the same time, Adam was given a big stage and kind of thrown out there on it without the skill set to handle it. I can't help it I still think ABC shares some blame even though I agree that it was unprofessional.

Well, what I thought this interview did was clarify that in fact Adam performed differently than he rehearsed, and he rehearsed it more than once. Wasn't there some question earlier about whether ABC knew what he was going to do or not? I just felt this clarified that they didn't know. They had cleared one thing, and then he did something else. That was unprofessional. (Because it was inconsiderate to the people he was working with, and dishonest.)

Eh. I don't know. I understand you feel this, I just don't really agree. The Idol TV show is a big stage. The Idol finale is huge. And The Ten Commandments, Wicked. The guy was not a rank amateur.

Yeah, I know you've said that before. I just see him as responsible for what he does.

I know what you mean. At least, I think I do. Are you saying that they hyped him so much that he couldn't help but play into the hype? Or that they somehow gave him the idea that, since they were advertising his act as shocking, if he acted even more shocking than they expected, that they would be happy with that? I can see that (sort of).

I think why I don't really cut him slack for that is his age, and his professional experience. If he were a 20 year old total amateur, I guess I could make myself believe that a lot more.

Hmm, sort of but not really. I think Adam had been in shows before so yes he had professional experience and I do agree that he is older so yes he really should have known better, but at the same time it's the AMA's. There is a difference between being onstage in the theatre and being onstage at the AMA's. Plus, yes they hyped it as the most shocking thing ever. So they were expecting something to happen, what they forgot is that Adam didn't even have experience attending the AMA's as an audience member or a performer -- that performance was given a LOT of hype, more than any other artist that performed. Ultimately, I don't know what Adam did or didn't know going into the show. So who knows? But, they gave a very large stage (closing the AMA's) to someone that wasn't at all experienced. I just think that ABC bears some responsibility for the whole fiasco.

and yes, I know you don't agree and that's okay. :)

You're right!! I don't! But, whatever -- it was weeks ago. It doesn't actually matter at all!

I just see ABC as acting in good faith and Adam not acting in good faith. They gave him a platform, they have terms and conditions that everyone has to meet, and I think he knows that. So unfortunately I think he was cynical, and decided to pull a fast one, to get himself a lot of free publicity, and make a name for himself, which he did do. And now no one remembers it much and it doesn't seem to have hurt him any.
