Soaked is just bad!! WWFM is much better! I couldn't even listen to the whole song through :S

I have Vh1 on and a banner just flashed across the bottom that says:

I love "Soaked." It sounds like a lost track from Radiohead's OK Computer to me. But it should never be a single and he should sing WWFM on Oprah. I think it's more likely to win over the Oprah housewives than "Soaked."

[Kworb]

I think Oprah loves having those classical voices on her show like Josh Groban and Susan Boyle. "Soaked" is the only song on Adam's album where his voice really soars. The chorus is really beautiful and should be very very impressive live. Back when he first appeared on Idol he gained most of his fans because of his phenomenal musical performances on YouTube, like "Is Anybody Listening" and "Heaven On Their Minds", and something like that on TV would make the general public view him in a whole new light.

the problem here is that Soaked, while I LOVE THIS SONG, I dont think is the right Oprah mix. Its a theatrical number, and while its a lot of fun to blast, he needs to stay with something more main stream.

Now... if he did a stripped down version of Soaked, minus the space odyssey elements, or even a stripped down version of Sleepwalker, it would go over great. Actually, even TFM would do well with that audience.

Oh before I forget.

Can somebody give a breakdown of these updates in a little more detail?

Spins: Is this the amount of spins he gets total from all around the country? Or is it something else? How can the spins be negative sometimes?

Bullet: What is the bullet?

AI: What is the AI, and whats the importance here?


Also, why are OHP spins so important? I dont think we even have OHP available in Atlanta, where im at.

[lucytor]

My first post on here...I'm learning so much from you guys!

Re the song to sing along with WWFM, why not Broken Open? It's not as theatrical as Soaked, and it has the haunting MW thing that worked so well on AI.

Anyhow...back to educational lurking.

Yeah, I definitely get that Mad World feel when I listen to Broken Open. I'm sure whatever he decides to sing apart from WWFM will be great.

Here's Adam's confirmation of the video premiere:
adamlambert Whataya Want From Me music video set to premiere between 6am-10am on Friday morning on VH1.

[Deleted]

So glad this is becoming a hit! It's hot! FYE shouldn;t have flopped either imo!

[StarSprinkles]

I wish we knew when, during that 4 hour block, WWFM is supposed to premiere

[poptartz]

Up to #55 on iTunes! Good movement there today, I think it was at #60 this morning.

I saw the ad for the WWFM premiere on VH1 this morning, and it said 6am - 10am. I sort of thought that meant they'd show it at the top of the hour each hour all morning. ??? What do you guys think?

8 Hot AC adds today!

[StarSprinkles]

I guess I'll be up at 5:00 am watching Vh1! Hopefully you're right about the "top of the hour" thing. I really, really don't feel like sitting through 4 hours of music videos in the hopes of catching WWFM

[Sarah.]

The Fuse interview was great!

Btw, looks like there is gonna be a preview of the WWFM video tonight!
An RCA Mod at AdamOfficial just posted this: www.adamofficial.com/ca/node/1169165

[Revelry]

Loved the Fuse interview. This man is pretty much my hero.

[speed2009]

nice update

[Sarah.]

Adam is #1 tonight on Z100's 9@9 thanks to "thousands and thousands of votes."

[StarSprinkles]

That FUSE interview was really great. We even got some new nuggets of info, which was nice. He said he realized he was gay in 6th grade and he loved to play with his stage makeup kit after school making himself over into all different kinds of characters.

I'm so excited for the WWFM snippets!

Up to #56 on iTunes!

Not yet, but I'll bring it over here when it does. :)

Still trucking along. Hopefully more adds today!

Up to #53 on iTunes! With the video and Oprah right around the corner, it's gonna take this momentum and run with it.

[StarSprinkles]

I'm glad to see the upturn on iTunes-especially since it's driven by the song itself, and not TV performances

I wonder if any of it had to do with the FUSE interview? It was #59 before FUSE aired.

I hope AO gets their teaser clips up soon for WWFM, and that it has a good adds day today.

Rock on, Adam!

[poptartz]

Idk if FUSE had any impact or not. I think only about ten people get that channel, lol. And the main song featured in that interview is FYE anyway. But I'm glad it's moving up, whatever the reason.

[Maximillian]

Atlanta has started spinning it regularly here finally. Been on twice today on the top 40 stations already. Funny enough, both times its played after Pink... irony? Im not sure. :)
