So? Do you have a problem with female posters? Are we not as smart or as avid fans as the male posters? Wow what a way to put 2 and 2 together!

Yeah David may have sold alot of albums, but he's been completely off anyone's radar since last year, really. The highest profile gig he's had since he was on AI8 was on was Carrie's Christmas special, which is sad.
Adam's TV Performances so far:
FYE - AMA's WWFM & Music Again - The Early Show WWFM - The View WWFM - Ellen WWFM - SYTYCD WWFM - Letterman WWFM - Conan
My bad, it's 8, not 6. Forgot about the Early Show.
Still, compare that to David Cook:
AOL Sessions: Bar-Ba-Sol, Declaration, Heroes, Light On, Lie Wal-Mart Soundcheck: Bar-Ba-Sol, Declaration, Lie, Light On AMA's - Light On, Declaration SNL - Light On, Declaration Rockefeller Tree Lighting - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, Happy Christmas Disney Christmas Parade - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas GMA - Light On, Declaration, Deck the Halls Sirius - Life on the Moon, Light On ET - Light On Leno - Light On Q100 Atlanta - Light On Regis & Kelly - Light On Ellen - Light On Vh1 - Light On WPLJ - Light On FOX New Year's Eve - Light On
Now I ask you, who had more TV promo?

for someone who you think had sucky sales, it's taken a whole lotta push and extraordinary hype by rca to get adam's numbers up to the level of archuleta's, say nothing of david cook's and jordin's, in cd and singles sales thus far... and this was done without 1/10 of 1 percent of lambert's promo... archuleta may not be as flashy as lambert, but rest assured he's been out in the trenches, on his grind, building and growing his fanbase and honing his craft the old fashioned way - the way that has been shown to lead more often than not to long term success.
the ott and obnoxious pronouncements about lambert being bigger than all three of these people combined tells me that his fans have learned nothing, and remain on a course that will continue to set them up for some pretty hard falls...it's not anyone wishing lambert ill will, but as much as some of his actions and behavior is polarizing and off putting, so is that of many of his fans - to many people who actually would have been inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt... it's that arrogance and lack of respect for those other idols that will continue creating unnecessary friction, but i've got neither the time nor do i care to engage in a back and forth about this matter that will lead to nowhere... let's let the future take care of itself, and see how it all shakes out... we'll see who will be receiving roses, and who will be dining on crow as time goes on.

Adam will become bigger than all those names combined. No worries :) I can't wait to see this smashing it's way to #1 after the holidays! :) and I want a hot hot video!Me too! Check out Adam's new Twitter background. With that, and the eyeliner tear he sported on SYTYCD, I'm sensing a pattern and a possible set-up for the music vid. ;)

RCA will release as many singles as Adam's sales warrant. The only reason Archie/Cook/Sparks got shortchanged in singles was because their sales sucked. Actually-Cook's sales were decent, but RCA just completely gave up on him and put him on an endless, pointless tour and stopped promoting him on radio. Such a shame, really. Eh? It's amazing what Pulse thinks "sucks" in terms of album sales. It's like this board is stuck in 2002 or something. Adam should be so lucky to have the careers of Sparks, Cook or Archuleta. The only thing a label cares about is profit, meaning it doesn't matter how much an album has sold so long as the label has profited from the album. I don't know about Jordin's second album, but her first definitely made Jive money. And I know for a fact that both Cook and Archuleta made profit for their labels with their first albums. So say what you want about not reaching platinum (although nowadays that is far more common than it was even 2 years ago), but Archuleta didn't have nearly as much money to make up as Adam will have, given how much money RCA has already poured into Adam's album. IMO, Adam could hit platinum and RCA still might not see the profit Jive saw with Archuleta's 750K and near-double platinum single & ringtone sales. I'm pretty confident Adam will pass their successes... Jordin's had some nice hit singles, but I really haven't heard too much from Cook, and I haven't heard anything from Archie since Crush.

I want Adam and Ke$ha to tour together :) I love them both, they're labelmates, and apparently Ke$ha has said that she "wants to have Adam's glambabies." Plus, Adam loves her to pieces.
So cute!

Awesome! JoJo loves Adam and was all protective of him during his last visit like, yesterday. I guess he meant it when he said Adam could stop by any time he wanted!

Apparently Adam will be on JoJo's show sometime between 9:40-9:45 PM Pacific time, so if you need to eat or take a shower, you've got time.

Hearing about someone doesn't necessarily mean success; it just means that you're in the news or you're a famewhore.

I'd rather have someone be in the news (and apparently on several end of year lists as one of the most significant people of the year) than to be boring as crap and totally forgotten about.

Am I missing something but why are people wondering what Cook is doing right now, isn't he between albums? Of course he's not going to be out there as before. And before you go negating other artists sales, let Adam achieve his first. I'm a fan of his and thought FYE would smash as well but sometimes the praise/proclamations for him is ott. Nothing wrong with seeing big things for him but c'mon now. I thought Fye not being the success even I thought it would be, would give some a reality check but apparently not.
If RCA plays its cards right and the public responds to his singles, he has all the tools to be very successful. But I'm not gonna count my chickens before they hatch especially not at the expense of other artists who actually do have some hardware to show for it.
Now back to WWFM, if that makes me a bad AL fan then so be it.

Cook hasn't been "between albums" for an entire year. Supposedly he's been "promoting" his album doing his neverending tour, but he's still been completely off virtually everyone's radar for all of 2009. How the heck can he be "between albums" when for all of 2009, he should have been doing active album promotion? Anyways.
Ok :)
*spank*
I'm glad Adam said he wants to go to Brazil. I personally know several Brazillian fans who would be super thrilled to finally see him in person. I hope he hits up Israel too because apparently Mad World and FYE were #1 on their music charts. They love them some Adam.
For WWFM, I want him to have an angsty video featuring a male love interest. Seriously, he has nothing to lose. The entire effing world knows he's gay.
About Israel - If Adam goes there, since he's Jewish (born to a Jewish mother) and claims the faith, does he automatically become an Israeli citizen if he visits? I've heard that they do that.

I don't follow Cook or majority of the idols for that matter, mainly Kris, Adam and I like Kelly C. I was just talking about now since he's currently working on his album. But I see what others are saying, did he fall off the earth after his second single? I guess that can be said compared to adam but seriously that can be said about just everyone in terms of hype and media exposure. Last time I saw Cook was on GMA with Adam and Kris.
