I...kinda forgot to.
Sorry.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

I think it's a mitzvah at this point, sail. He won't be bound to a contract and he won't have to sing that godawful schlockfest that is the first single.

I thought everyone had some kind of contract that remained in effect whether they won or lost? And the runner up always has an album produced by AI. I mean, Clay Aiken had his album, David Archuleta had his, the dude who came in second to Jordan Sparks (the beat box guy, I've forgotten his name). But, yeah, at least he won't be obliged to record that awful song.

I thought only the winner was absolutely committed to AI-- that's one of the prizes after all, the recording contract. Makes sense that they also try to get the runner-up, but as to actually being bound?
Even if they are, they probably have more freedom than the winner.

tiggy knows this stuff better than I do, but a whole slew of the competitors are now bound to the 19 production company and ... is it Sony? Whichever label it is.
For me, I really only got Adam last night, when I saw him doing KISS and Queen. That's something I'd listen to him do. But ... aside from those groups specifically, which are absolutely iconic, how much glam rock is out there? Th Darkness was a flash in the pan.
He just comes across as a stylist to me -- one with incredible pipes -- but not someone who's going to write songs I identify with.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
basically? anyone who gets camera time has signed some sort of contract that 19E gets first dibs with them. that's why Josiah(from last seasons audition rounds) has been taken to court for trying to sign with another label to get out his cd.
so, yes, i'm 100% positive that 19 is well aware of what a potential goldmine Adam Lambert is and have snatched up his contract. he won't get the same amount of press and such that Kris will, but yeah.

Our wings are not tired.
He'd have done fine either way. And singing the schlockfest song wouldn't have mattered.
