I like how they highlighted Stefano's voice in that track.

Consider for a moment that it has 164 FB likes, 28 Tweets and 17 comments.

Haley's "Free" on the other hand has only 7 FB likes, 9 Tweets and 1 comment.


I kid...those number are correct but this is the "premiere" for Stefano's "I'm On a Roll," so it isn't a fair comparison.

Time will tell if Stefano is on a roll. If he is, I expect his time in the sun to last as long as New Boyz.

Speaking of Casey, figure8 posted this Idol Hangover Interview done earlier today:

15:10 talks about Haley. He just talked to her. She's exhausted.
Had a song with her that didn't make (her) album.
She might do something with Casey for his album.
Haley on Idol Hangover next week 4/27

It´s kind of funny to think of all of Fano´s references to be all about the music...and then produce this? Is this grammy material? I don´t think so. Still, could be well received among those fans of LMFAO for instance, or whatever current music it´s on top 40 now.

I had the same reaction about Stefano creating a very formulaic piece. It surprised at first, but now I can see that the song is Stefano. He has made remarks on various occasions about things like making contacts, going to the right events, and "using" AI as a platform to advance his career. These are things that an aspiring singer needs to do to make it in the business, but I've been struck by the degree of focus on this kind of stuff in his public comments rather than the artistic side of his profession. Long ago his style rubbed me the wrong way. It made me suspicious of his motives with Haley -- the ubiquity of photos with him by her side during the tour, for example. I've concluded that the music is formulaic because Stefano is formulaic. He has been consistent. And the lyrics are perfect -- straight up Fano.

This is the music you get if you hand the song writing and recording process over to modern producers. Stefano wants to be a star. If a song like "You're a Jerk" can get 58 million views I suppose anything's possible. I have no ear for this crap.

Can't believe Stefano just singled out this lyric to tweet:

Quote:Stefano Langone ‏ @STEFANOLANGONE

My ex wants sex tonightttt

He ought to be embarrassed by that, not proud of it.

Listen to this recent interview...he's still refering to his art and being an artist.....

http://www.americanidol.com/videos/seaso...h_stefano/

None of what he has said/ is saying jibes with this single

The best thing is that this is the "intro" hook to reel in initial fans, then introduce more.....substantive .....music. Then again it could be big BECAUSE it follows the formula but the "artist" thing was thrown out a while ago.

He's ready for the big leagues now...some time between my post yesterday and now, his @STEFANOLANGONE account was converted to @Stefano.

Wonder if they had to pay this guy to make that happen..

I guess if you're going to chose the direction he has chosen you have no choice but to go "all in" including rebranding yourself to a mono-nomenclature.

Makes me ill, but I think there is a good chance he will do moderately if not very well with the single...wait for him to start referring to himself in the third person

Stefano goin' 'all in' and buyin' into the hype


Gotta be a rental/lease, right?....can't believe he has the dough to already own one of those...

nevermind, I just played it back and you can see her standing up when the camera zooms way out!

She appears to be going up and down. I can't tell if she's cheering or simply stretching in an attempt to see over the people standing in front of the stage.

It's very nice to see how much this group, for the most part, tends to be supportive of each other's efforts.
