Dear fellow Anoop Desai fans,
This week, we started a new chapter in our relationship with Anoop.
Our objective during the previous chapter (i.e., the voting phase) was to show our support for him through voting so that he could proceed in the reality TV talent competition as far as he could go.
Now that the voting phase is over, we have a new objective.
We want to help Anoop maximize his opportunity toward obtaining a major recording contract. We’ve heard him on Clef Hangers CD’s and videos, and now the TV show. As a result, we are in love with his beautiful voice and sweet stage presence. However, these are mere teasers compared to what he will be able to do once he gets a recording contract. He can release a fully-produced album, tour nationally and internationally, and perform on TV.
The business situation surrounding him will likely shake itself out over the next several months during the tour, and our actions will need to adjust accordingly. However, there are a few things we can do RIGHT NOW to help Anoop maximize his opportunity toward obtaining a major recording contract.
1. Sustain the current buzz, and make it louder
We must demonstrate to those decision makers in the recording industry that Anoop has a large number of dedicated fans who are eagerly waiting for his first album to come out. Everyone can pitch in by visiting and contributing to fansites, forums and major media blogs, and squeeeeing when Anoop videos are posted somewhere. Catch all of his media appearances (i.e., talk shows and magazines), and discuss them on fansites and forums.
2. Purchase Clef Hangers CD’s
This is a way to demonstrate to the recording industry decision makers that Anoop Desai fans are eager to put their $ where their squeeing months are. In addition, we will be supporting Clef Hangers and their cause.
3. Purchase Anoop’s iTunes tracks
See above #2. If you haven’t purchased legal copies of Anoop’s iTunes studio versions, you must do it now because they will be taken down from iTunes store shortly after the Grand Finale.
4. Support Anoop at each tour stop throughout the tour
Those ten finalists participating in the tour are evaluated throughout the tour for their money making potential. We need to help Anoop demonstrate that he can draw large ticket-buying crowd. Go to a show decked out in Carolina blue. Cheer during Anoop’s set. Try to get his autograph by waiting for the tour bus to arrive. Also, share your tour stories and pictures at fansites and forums with other fans---this will help to sustain and increase the Anoop buzz (see #1).
Anoop fans are a unique and diverse bunch. Each of us can contribute in many different ways toward the goal of helping Anoop get a recording contract. Let’s be the most dedicated and smartest fans around. The reward (i.e., Anoop’s first major label album) will be sweet!
