Canadian Idol Fans Watching American Idol
- Thread starter ross 1
- Start date
Oh, I'm pretty sure it's been shared. Perhaps around page 300 or so. lol People gots to read the thread to know what's been said.
Well, see I missed this. I have no interest in Paula, when she's not on Idol. Simon, Randy and Ryan are a bit different as they are sometimes funny (and sometimes they are infuriating - talking to you Simon and Ryan) I don't really watch Conan unless someone I want to see is on.. like say Kris. Although I once watched an episode that had me falling on the floor it was so funny. I don't know that I've ever watched him on the tonight show..wait I must have if I seen Allison.. lol
I never thought I'd say #118 on iTunes is great, but it is. Because it's going up. The promo hasn't even started (for the album), and I feel pretty good.
I can't get all statistical, but I hope...oh, well, you guys know what I hope.
Now, people say Adam had a "banner" or something on iTunes to promote his song, and I wonder if Jive will ever do this for Kris. Do you think they're saving that for a later date? Or not doing it at all? Or just pushing the album more than the single?
I've read on forums where people say their own friends or co-workers, who voted for Kris for hours, were not even aware there's a single out. Which means to me there hasn't been enough promo, or not the right kind -- or else, just not yet. Any thoughts?

Question about TFM. I didn't expect it to be on Adam's CD, but now that people say it is on the CD, I have this question.
How can they say, "This is not the first single off his CD. We're still waiting for that to be released." Etc.? If it's on his CD and it's been released, as far as I can tell, that makes it his first single on his CD. It's on his CD and it's a single. Am I missing something?

It might there just as a bonus song or something. I don't think it matters much. I think it's normal that the song will be on his album. More reasons for fans of TFM to buy it. I guess his real first single will be more representative of his CD on the whole, so that's probably why that song is expected to be the "first single". It doesn't matter much. He will have two singles out at the same time, both will be on the CD, so even more promotion for his album.
Interview with Lyndsey Parker:

You've probably seen it elsewhere. I'm posting the link here so that I can watch it when I get home!

It's made of win. Kris just looks so comfy, and relaxed (also he looks like he's 12 -lol) sittin' cross legged on the couch in Simon Fuller's office. I'd be like hopelessly uncomfortable, and afraid I was going to spill my slushie on the nice expensive leather couch. Kris is hanging out.
I loved what he had to say about The Script, Eg White, and Mat Kearney (Mat song you better be on the album) I also really liked hearing him talk about music and how it has to be good. I can't wait til part 2.

So Adam's TFM is now going to be on the album?
Bet TFM people are pissed.
ETA: Did you see this ross? Watch #Hedley shoot their new music video live all day Saturday! http://www.hedleyonline.com for deets
RT!
Do you know what their new single is? They are quick with the videos.

Cha-ching is still charting, on itunes and on radio (#13 on itunes - Adam is #10). So I'm wondering why they are releasing another so soon.. but maybe because Cha-ching was so different? I don't know? Or maybe it's just the normal time. It seems fast to me though.
The live coverage of the video shoot is interesting though. If I'm home I'll have to check that out. Although they'll probably be showing lunch or something if I tune in.
ETA: Oh! and from the Radio Sophie interview.. the video takes place in a junkyard at night.. (Kris's video now, not Hedley's.. lol)

That was a good interview with Lyndsey. Kris is so chill. In the good sense of the word. I'm glad that she asked about the individual songs, though it's hard when you haven't heard them yourself!
Tonight is the first night of the tapping of Carrie's Holiday Special. Carrie and David are apparently doing a duet on Van Halen's Why Can't This Be Love. David's band was there too, so I guess they were accompanying them on that song. And Cook soundchecked his own song Lie. Waiting for reports of the actual taping!

Wow, Permanent in the grocery store. Heavy song for grocery shopping! I never his music here on the radio but I heard Light On in the pharmacy a couple of months ago. I almost dropped the bottle of shampoo I was holding, LOL.
OK, I have like two minutes, but Slezak posted the tracklisting! Yay for I Need to Know and yay for Cale having a writting credit! And yay for no "NoBo". But no Mat Kearney song? After all the buzz? Also, did they do a new version of Heartless, Slezak wrote that the song on the record (bonus song) was produced by Salaam Remi?
ETA: Oh yeah, the new version of Heartless is probably the one that was rumored to have been recorded this summer, it would make sense!

I hear Permanent all the time on the radio - Or I think I do.. lol ? They played it on So you Think you Can Dance Canada last year too.
Nico and Allie.. *sigh*

That's how I feel.. yay for no NB. (Thanks TPTB!) And Yay for Cale - that must be super exciting for them both, new Heartless! I'm hoping the Mat Kearney song still turns up as a bonus track -- I was dying to hear it. And it's Jim's fave. I want it. I did love the story of Kris lying on his back playing guitar and singing on the floor.
I pretty much guessed that Claude Kelly, Ryan Tedder were not happening.
Awk-ward. There's nothing like an outdoor interview when you can't hear the person on the other end of the phone.

Thanks SleepinIn for the SYTYCDC video. I knew it had happened, but I had never watched it. Beautiful dance. I find it hard to listen to that song in that context (or any other context). I mean, they had a great story to go with their dance and the song was a good fit, but yeah, it's a bit weird.
David's performance of the song on the Idol finale two-three weeks after his brother died still makes me emotional.

I still don't understand why they didn't sell the video of that performance in addition to the audio version, it could've made even more money for charity!
Going to watch part 2 of Lyndsey's interview with Kris...
