Rocco's Pop Revolution: Seen through the eyes of someone living it

Those Rich Lee DeWyze Fans Are Back…

Posted on: December 29, 2010

How are you going to spend all that money Grandpa gave you for Hanukkah?? How about that money your drunk Aunt gave you for Christmas?? Did you just get a divorce?? Well, fret not, dry those tears… you can spend his or her money easily with this one!

(I should be in advertising with that opening statement… that last one wasn’t insensitive at all)

Does everyone remember Robin and Marama ?? (HEY GIRLS HEEEEY!!… I don’t know these ladies in real life… but I’m a fan of them. I think we would like each other in real life)

Of course you remember them! These two ladies round the troops time after time and revive Lee D. sales and just revive the Lee bear love. I said it before, and I’ll say it again; these chicks get my vote when they run for President/Vice President. They can duke it out for who gets what title…. but they have to be in colleagues.

First off, they call it Operation Lee Is Swell…. I love the 1950′s!!! I would have been a really bad woman/wife/mother in that era because I curse, hate lipstick, and can’t bake to save my own life, but I would love to have tried to exist in that era. Ever see Pleasantville??? I imagine that’s what the 1950′s were exactly like.

Mother! Father! Let's watch Lee bear on TV!

And here is the gist (I think…. ladies correct me if I’m wrong) buy a copy of Live It Up and place a tag on it. Give it to someone who doesn’t own Lee’s CD. The tag pretty much says “hey you… if you like this CD, buy a copy and give it to someone… pay it forward like Kevin Spacey and Haley Joel Osment. If not, you’re dumb and you owe me $13.”  (Can you guess what part I made up??)

And then if you tell Robin or Marama that you performed this act, you get your name entered in a contest and you can win….. LEE BEAR!!  Just kidding… you don’t win Lee bear… you win the honor of passing his music around.

I’m thinking this will cost you about $10 bucks for the CD. That’s 1 hour of babysitting if you live in the suburbs and if you live in a major city you get at least $17/hour to babysit, so you can get his CD and go buy yourself some nail polish or something. You’ll have plenty of holiday money left over… so stop pouting.

I really hope Lee knows about this… he should start a “my fans are the bee’s knees” campaign… because these girls are legit. I’ll even sacrifice my desire for that Hat To End All Hats picture to see that campaign, because you all deserve that!

You can go to Let’s Do This 4 Lee to get all the actual information, all Twitter information for all parties involved,  and some fun facts about the bear himself. For instance… he was a stock trader?!?! WTF? Never saw that one coming…. he must be good at math. I’m so impressed. He’s like a barbie doll… he comes with so many professions. This one is NASDAQ Lee bear.

 

Just heading into NASDAQ..... You can ring my bee-eeee-ellll . Ring my bell!

 

Sorry got sidetrack with Lee bear and numbers and Anita Ward’s #1 disco hit…..

Go to LET’S DO THIS 4 LEE and learn more! Lee is swell… and he wears sweaters that are from the 1950 era. Toby Maguire who???

 

Tennis?? Tennis anyone??

 

 

*pssst* I have a confession. I got my BFF the Lee bear CD… but it’s a burned copy.
I AM SO SORRY! I feel awful. Buuuuuuut…. I bought 3 copies myself… so we’ll just negate that and say I bought 2 right??? Is that okay???

I think we’re all in a fight.

“Tennis? Tennis anyone?” lmao seriously because of you and your damn humor I spend way to much time on this computer now!!

hahahah good im glad that translated well.

Sorry im tearing you away from your social life lol

Half the fun of reading your Lee bear blogs is all the cool pics you find of him that I’ve never seen before. You go, girl!

yay!! I feel like everyone has seen these pics. That makes me happy hahhaha.

“he’s like a Barbie doll-he comes with so many professions”…lol,lol.lol. I’m so glad Leebear got to quit his day job(s) and can make a living doing what he loves. He’s inspired a lot of fans to support him.

me too. he’s more than half my posts.
he goes away I go away…. its a symbiotic relationship.

One good thing that came out of the stock trader job was this: The Problem is You. Lee was interviewed for a school paper and this was what he had to say about the song: “During my job as a stock trader a lot of people down there are self-absorbed, very into themselves. The song’s about how easy it is to point the finger at other people but then what do you do if the problem is yourself? It’s like you kind of reflect on yourself.”

ooooo deep. that should have been in the wall street 2 movie. isn’t that about greed and money.

i never knew that’s what the song was about. Thanks for that info!! :)

I really want to applaud the efforts of Lee’s fans. All I can contribute is that I bought 3 copies of his CDs (not very rich I’m afraid). The rest of my rant (sorry guys, I know this is a fun site, but I just have to get this out) has nothing to do with Lee’s positive fans. I just came from the other blog site, where they track album sales, and I just don’t understand CB fans. Why can’t they just be happy for their idol without hating on another? Whenever they say they “loathe Lee” or they “can’t stand Lee”, I wonder why. Do they know him personally? Did he say anything bad about them or about CB?
I think that Lee’s fans are so positive they don’t waste time on hating and again I applaud them for that. Even the way they respond to the aggression is light and fun :)
Sorry this has gone on for too long, just needed to get that out of my system. I really appreciate you Rocco and all Lee’s fans here. Stay positive!

everything you said is true.
ppl just like to hate on whoever they may not be the biggest fan of. I admit, I do it sometimes… but I try to make it funny at least and not hurtful and harsh (at least I never intend to be)

everyone should just like what they like and listen to that. no need to go and purposely comment and hate on the other threads.

i appreciate you coming here and reading and commenting… this is always a fun site!!

Gee, let me guess what site that was, LOL?

You burned a copy? We are in a fight, so there! Just kidding but I bet the CD you burned for your BFF didn’t have the cute tag so I think you should buy another, tag it, and pass it on! It’s good Karma. I should know :)

hahah true that. you have first hand experience! lol

There’s something about buying extra copies of your fave’s CDs to boost sales that just seems pathetic to me. I mean, the guy is rich now whatever happens. The people who do things like this are obsessed. It’s creepy.

I have to say it since I loved Lee’s first two albums, but this one is not very good. I don’t think he’s going to have the kind of career we wish he’ll have. It’s too bad, but I’m a realist. I voted and voted. I did. But he disappointed me with this album, and he’s not selling. He’s been Taylor Hick’d. I’ve watched Idol long enough to feel where the wind is blowing. *Shrugs*

Some people support an artist through the good, the bad, and the ugly *shrugs.* By the way, I don’t think Lee’s newest CD is either of the last two descriptions. And I don’t think you voted and voted, either. Taylor Hicks isn’t doing so badly for himself: $3 million in 18 months for his Broadway role is more than I can dream about making in my field.

1) im sure people aren’t buying 100′s of copies… 2-3 at the most for gifts. if people were that rich and obsessed wouldn’t they just give the money to their favorite artist to make music. Actually, that would be pretty funny… if someone was like a millionaire and they just decided to buy some obscure artists album and have them sell half a million copies . hahahhahah.

2) and okay you don’t like Live It Up… then don’t listen to it. It’s awesome you bought it to give it a try,… but it’s not for everyone. There are plenty of ppl who like it.

3) I don’t think fans will sit around counting numbers…. yes it’s nice to see success for a musician you like, but I don’t think ppl will stop listening to lee if they like him bc he didn’t rock the world with his sales. Are you going to stop listening to him all together because he released some music your not crazy about?? There are plenty of songs from artists that I love that I just don’t like…. it happens.

4) Its a nice thing this group of fans do for the artist they like. These people put a lot of work and thought into these campaigns and plus, it’s fun. It was the holiday season when this was created, so if you’re buying gifts for ppl why not a cd, and why not Lee’s cd.

5) Have faith my friend. If you love numbers so much, someone told me taylor swift sold the same amt as Lee her first week on her debut album. Look how her story turned out. He’ll work hard to make music… and if he doesn’t want to then he’ll stop. He’s a big boy… I’m sure he can decide what’s best for him and his career.

Thanks for reading and commenting though!! give live it up another listen… maybe it’ll take a few tries to hit ya. :)

I love his album, bought three, one from iTunes, one cd for car and one for daughter. As for the efforts of those buying CDs for troops, etc, I think this isn’t much different from the RCA team giving his cd to sports fans at the tailgate thing he did. Promotion… Not a bad thing.. Especially if it results in a new fan or two. Love you Rocco!

wise words!
And thank you very much!

How would you know how much I voted? LOL. I guess if I’m unwilling to buy multiple copies of an album I didn’t like then I’m an Official Supporter? If I don’t like someone’s music, why should I support them? I hated Crystal on the show, but her album is like 400 percent better. No, I didn’t vote for her.

What I liked about Lee on the show didn’t translate to the album. I’m one person, with ONE opinion. Jumping on me doesn’t change my mind, y’all.

Eh. Whatever.

whatevs is right… like what you like. the same music is heard differently by millions of people a day. That’s the beauty of music.

no jumping was happening… this is a fun place! I promise :)
