Adam Lambert

[Tusk]

Adam seems to have made significant gains overseas....wish he could take Haley along as his opening act.

Of all the ex Idols not in her season, I think Adam could really help Haley, teach her how to access that larger world market. I feel they are kindred spirits in the AI universe. She's got all the tools and personality, she just needs someone that can show her how to maximize it.

I guess the 'gains' I thought Adam was making wasn't enough:

Adam Lambert and 19 Recordings have parted ways, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Although the American Idol season eight runner-up had split with 19 Management in August 2011, he remained signed to the recording arm of 19 Entertainment (now owned by CORE Media Group) for another 18 months.

According to sources, January marked the expiration for that contract, although he is still on the roster at RCA Records. “It’s good for both sides,” says an insider. “Adam can move forward with his plans and 19 isn’t stuck in the middle.”

A rep for Lambert says the two parties leave “amicably and with the utmost respect for each other,” adding that the decision is but one part of the singer’s “evolution,” which began when he joined Direct Management Group, home to Katy Perry among other clients.

As for his third album, conversations with the label about direction have already begun, says DMG.

..... So many moving parts to this industry
As if we didn't need a reminder tha even though music is about creativity..."MUSIC" is still a business

In addition

Now that 19R has moved on to partnering with UMG, I would imagine “lame duck” Idols still signed to both RCA and 19R will be moving off the 19 roster eventually.

Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry, Jordin Sparks and Fantasia are all still signed with 19R/RCA.
