I'm not sure who uploaded the rip to a sendspace account, the link made the rounds on the AI boards pretty quickly before they shut down for maintenance.
I think we all pretty much have decided not to propogate the spread of the rips any further, we made attempts to make sure only trustworthy Kat Phans would get it, BUT this is the internet and nothing is really safe.
I haven't heard the radio version but I ASSURE YOU you will be very pleased with the clarity and timbre of Kat's vocals on the CD.
OK, let me answer your questions ..lol
Bianca Ryan ... I had planned to run a poll to see whether or not we should adopt her, since she came from a show Simon produced and she will likely get very little radio play until she's older. But after I played some of her songs, her ratings were through the roof and we were flooded with e-mails fro people begging us to keep her in the playlist permanantly. Therefore, she's the first singer we've permanantly adopted to Idol Waves who didn't appear on American Idol :-)
The sound quality ... we could use a higher quality, but that would severley limit the amount of songs we could put in the playlist. At a bizrate of 64, we can get 200 songs in the playlist at one time. I think that's a good middle ground for quality. If we did bizrate 128 (CD quality), we might be able to get 90 songs. I could always upgrade our account, but that would be a fortune ...
That brings me to the next point, money. Idol Waves doesn't make a penny. In fact, I personally have paid more than $500 the past year to run Idol Waves and Idolwaves.com. I was hoping we'd get listener support, but NO ONE offered. We even produced our own commercial, asking if listeners could help out just a bit. Like if everyone donated a dollar, we could cover like 6 years. We really did get $0 in support. I'm very disappointed with that, but that's another story. When you sign up for VIP, LIve365 gets the money, not us. Those crazy, annoying ads are for Live365; all Live365 stations have them. When you sign up for VIP, you don't hear those ads, plus the music quality gets much higher. We've produced a few our our own commercials, but we keep it to a minimum.
"I Lost You" is now eligible to chart!!! So, vote thumbs up for it when you hear it.
Both songs are above 9.0, so it looks like it will rocket up the Top 20.
