I like that Lee got a title for the album. I wish Kris's album had a title other than Kris Allen - because it makes it hard to separate his album from the random live DL's I've collected in itunes. Can't say I love the actual title.. but I love that he has one. :) The album picture wasn't bad.

LOL

(Whatever Vampire Diaries is. I have no idea. Is it a show for the kiddies?)

It's a bit Twilight-ish - but way better. LOL - because I actually like it. (the actors are good to follow on twitter for example - they're kind of interesting) One of the best parts about Vampire Diaries is that it's played multiple times here. One of the actresses was on Degrassi orginaly and I think that Much Music considers it an extension of that. So I think they replay it on Much at least twice as well as the original broadcast on the other channel.

This is a really good article

http://www.bristolobserver.com/10_08_10/16.pdf

The "comments" on this article made me laugh.

What the Ed Hardy ads or the interacial dating?

LOL - I like cardboard Kris. What's he doing in the suit?

also Kalan tweeted a fan that he lost an entire album of music due to legal battles (I guess with Sony). He was also apparently on Radio Q - which is a podcast I'm addicted to playing with Emm Grynor, I heard Emm, but I didn't know Kalan was there too.

I'm really very interested in Kalan's new music.

Kalan worked on that album for over a year. I feel bad for him if he lost his music. I don't know enough about the situation. Sony appeared to be a bit ticked off, when they tweeted about parting ways. What that was about, I wouldn't know. There are two sides to every story, I guess. But I doubt we'll hear either side, so I guess speculation is pointless.

As for Kalan's singing, to be honest, I kind of miss the big (admittedly, somewhat cheesy) Idol-type singing, in his case. I'm sure he will throw some into the mix, at some point. Or, I hope so. You have to have a mix. Maybe one quarter audience pleasing, and three quarters 'art'.

I don't know who Emm Gryner is. Who she?

What the Ed Hardy ads or the interacial dating?

What I laughed at was how few comments there were about Lee (at least, at the time) - just all these ads.

LOL - I like cardboard Kris.

He said it was taller than him. lol

What's he doing in the suit?

I don't know. How come you don't know? You usually know all this stuff! Maybe check out the headlines thread on MJ's, from yesterday (or last night). It was all about the Conway stuff. At the time I read it, I don't think anyone knew why Kris was being all semi-formal.

I get a bit weary from all the speculating on MJ's about why Kris is doing this or that, who he's with, or whatever - it reminds me strongly of a lot of biddies gossiping over the back fence. "Who was he with?" "That's Katy." "My sources now report, that was not Katy, it was a high school girl." "Seems it was not a high school girl, it was his cousin Minnie, from the Ozarks." "The one with a mole on her left nipple?" "No, the one with the pimple on her right butt cheek."

I love that 'I Need to Know' is getting exposure from the Vampire Diaries. :icon_smile: #148 on pop on itunes!

Just as long as they don't switch singles to take advantage of this phenomenon, I'm happy.

I just listened to the album version of Alright With Me for the first time in months. I'm so used to hearing it live, I forgot how it sounded. It's still great.

Now, I prefer the live version, of course. Because it has so many more "colors." Anyhow, I hope Kris will get to promo this song on TV, somehow. Or maybe VH1 will have a live version available, like they did with The Script's Breakeven. Anything.

19/Jive/JLG former American Idol runner-up David Archuleta’s The Other Side of Down, the follow-up to his ’08 self-titled debut, should do between 22-25k HITS Daily Double: News
Yikes on Archie's album sales prediction! 8O He should release a better single as soon as possible!!! Strangely, he performed "Falling Stars" on Regis & Kelly. I wonder if this is new single..
YouTube - (HD) David Archuleta 'Falling Stars' on Live with Regis & Kelly 10/6/10

I'm looking forward to hearing Lee's single even though he is not my fav Idol. There're no buzz surrounding him, so he really needs to have a radio hit to sell his album.

Adam rocked in Tokyo. The Japanese fans seemed to enjoy it :smile:

Hmmmm.. LOL :)

I don't know who Emm Gryner is. Who she?

I wouldn't call her a hugely well-known singer, really - but she is a well respected singer that is known within the industry. She's toured with David Bowie and I think Bono is also a fan, and she sings with one of the guys from Def Leopard on her new album as well as others.

Yikes on Archie's album sales prediction!

I was a bit surprised by that too. I didn't expect the # of sales he had last time, because times have changed in the music business - even in the short time that it's been since his debut. But, I have to admit I expected a bit better since David does have a lot of fans, he's having trouble getting radio traction with his singles though. Wonder why?

Hmmmm.. LOL :icon_smile:

I'm glad you put in the smilie and the "LOL". Because I do not think you are one of the biddies in question! lol

I was referring more to the back-and-forth dialogue on the forums. Some of it is definitely more chick-oriented than I can be expected to take, you know? Help!

Please continue to be my source of info - what would I do without you, SleepinIn? :)

There was stuff from the uber-fans on twitter about Andrew being engaged, and "taming the cockatoo" which I guess refers to his haircut. At least I hope so. It sounds dirty, though. :D

LOL! You know I don't take this fan stuff too seriously... life's too short. :)

Since I'm addicted to google/twitter I don't think I could stop anyway. :)

Vampire Diaries is the gift that keeps giving - there are a lot of hits on the various uploads of INTK. I love that. Such a great song.. plus written by Kris. He gets the big royalties for that one. (also... in Canada the episode is #2 on itunes! Probably not related to Kris :) but still cool)

INTK has grown on me, although it's not my favorite song, as a song. Kris's delivery is fantastic, though. I hope AWM gets placed on a TV show. That's the kind of publicity a single needs. Anyway, it can't hurt.

I'll listen to Dave tomorrow. Columbus Day (a day off).

The Day - 'Idol' alum Kris Allen opens for Lifehouse at MGM Grand at Foxwoods | News from southeastern Connecticut

(Kris has headlined quite a bit, though.)

Dave Rosin is a talker! Holy sh*t! I kind of stopped listening to some of it, near the end. A lot to absorb. I think he's even more ADD than Jacob! I like how he's interested in a lot of other bands and in hockey or curling or whatever. I never heard of ball hockey. Is that the same as what we call street hockey (played with a tennis ball)? He turned 30 this year, just FYI.

I liked how he referred to Hedley as "traveling storytellers."
