I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to lack of promo simply because of Chris. I always want to get on them for lack of promo but I keep forgetting that this boy is still walking on thin ice in some aspects. Granted, he probably isn't the easiest person to book for shows, commercials and other promo-type events so they will get a pass there. Plus, think about it: they've managed to do a lot for him promo-wise that I definitely wasn't expecting: SNL, DWTS, GMA, plus he has the Today show coming up. That's not too bad for his standards, I guess. Can't really expect him to be on a late night talk show every night.
Their choice in how they've gone about handling the album however, there is no excuse for. As much as I want to be upset, at the same time I can't really be too pressed. The album has done far better than anyone really expected and has surpassed expectations like crazy. F.A.M.E. has done more than I could have ever asked for. It has so much more potential though, and it just sucks to see that being wasted.
i confused it with Paper, Scissors, Rock cause i just played it.
but Jive should really slow down with the releases.

I think the era has been handled greatly. He's had great promotion, granted more around the album's release, but what can you do with the situation he's in commercially. The single's have all been great. I think it was obvious "Wet The Bed" would come too.
