21/05/08 - PROMO: AMERICAN IDOL, NOKIA THEATRE, LOS ANGELES, CA

Bryan does the most important piece of promo work he's done in 15-20 years at the Nokia Theatre in downtown LA. He's live on TV on the biggest show in the world for maximum exposure - American Idol. Not only is it the biggest show, but it's the shows yearly finale. To get you an idea of how many people watched in the USA alone - 95 million votes were cast for the winner. The show isnt just popular in the states either - it's broadcast to every major country in the world.

All this is quite an achievement from a simple deal signed with Walmart. The store seems to be doing wonders for BA's status in America and it's about time. They've only been onboard 1 month and already he's sold 40 zillion more copies of '11' than 'Room Service' ever did (for the record RS only sold 44,000 copies in the states)... plus a spot on the countries biggest show. Talk about maximum exposure. It really shows you how bad a job BA's old record deal in the states was... apalling really.

As for the show Bryan looked genuinely happy to be there and even I was buzzing off the fact that he was on the show. The 'performance'... yeah, well it was you expected from talent shows. He didn't get to rockout and the boys singing sounded like they should have been in a boyband but thats not the important thing here. BA finally got some awesome US exposure... long may it continue. Well done Bryan and well done Walmart & American Idol!
