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 totally disagree. I think she'll learn way more from Kelly Clarkson and Kelly actually is a global superstar and a million times more talented than Adam. Kelly's a true artist, Adam is just a musical prostitute and a fame whore.

The Glamberts really liked Allison Iraheta too but opening for Adam during the USA leg of his GlamNation tour didn't do her any favours. Glamberts are fiercely loyal to their "rawk gawd" and refuse to support anyone else. Their attitude does him a huge disservice in that when, oops I mean "if", he hits rock bottom no headliner will take him as they know his fans will only stay for his set and leave when their set starts.

I guess the 'gains' I thought Adam was making wasn't enough:
Adam Lambert Splits with 19R
http://www.mjsbigblog.com/164156.htm
Quote:Adam Lambert and 19 Recordings have parted ways, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
our editor recommends
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
Quote: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.
..... 
I don't buy this story Adam's management is spinning to Shirley Halperin. RCA dropped him, Trespassing's sales were bad and all 3 of his singles flopped. I expect news about Adam "parting ways" with RCA to break shortly by a rep for the label.
