Lisa Marie Presley is no joke
Lisa Marie Presley is celebrating. "She is so excited. Critics were laughing at her, the record label didn't believe in her and friends thought she was a joke. But, my girl pulled it off and I'm very proud of her," said a close friend about the sales of Presley's debut album. She will be heading back in the studio soon to record a duet with Bon Jovi for his new album and then she is set to tour the U.S. "I think she is quite the star now," the source adds.

 Lisa Marie Presley 'Done Worrying' About Jacko, Nic Cage MTV News (04.17.2003 7:53 AM EDT)
Lisa Marie Presley's To Whom It May Concern debuted at #5 its first week out, but does she really need the sales?
As Elvis' daughter and one of the administrators of his estate, she's estimated to be worth $500 million. But despite her heritage, her vast wealth and her already cemented celeb status, Presley still wanted to work ? well, on her songs at least.
"I'm doing it because music's been such a profound influence on me and my whole life and gotten me through everything," Presley said. "I thought I could use this album as a vehicle, an outlet of whatever I've been through, and I wanted to see if I could affect others. It's as simple as that."
She sang as a child, encouraged by her dad; when asked if she was good, she smiled and said, "Probably not." But it wasn't until Presley was 21 that she started penning melodies and lyrics in her home studio, just to help her get through whatever was ailing her at the moment, be it a very public divorce from a world-famous pop star or more private struggles.
"I never really did it with the intention to put it out there," she said. "I would just write, just sit there and write, and record it on eight-track, until I graduated to ProTools, but it was always just to get myself through things."
Thanks to her family connections, plenty of people were interested in helping her get it out there, even if that wasn't her original goal. "I've had producers coming around, saying, 'If you want to do it ...' and record company people saying, 'Let me know, let me know,' most of my life," she said.
Daunted by the prospect of the inevitable comparisons and expectations, she demurred, preferring to take it slow. "I just liked the idea of easing into it," she said. Plus, she knew that being the daughter of one of the greatest rock legends of all time only takes you so far. "I think it just sort of goes with the territory that it can open a door," she said. "But [from there] I'm pretty much on my own."
Presley started seriously considering the idea of an album in 1997 and worked with producer Glen Ballard in 1999, and later Billy Corgan when she signed to Capitol. She nearly completed an album three years ago, but most of those sessions were scrapped as she kept re-recording the songs until she felt they fit her.
"Re-recording, fine-tuning, writing more, taking away," she recalled. "The biggest struggle, and why I took so long, was to get me to compromise enough to put records on that were sort of safe and radio-friendly. What I tend to go towards is ambience and a vibe. I didn't go for a style, which is why the whole thing is a potpourri of I don't know what."
Though her three failed marriages were a great impetus to start putting her life on paper, and much will be made of songs that seemingly reference her second and third husbands Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage, it's Presley's first husband, Danny Keough, who's all over this record. Presley worked with Keough in addition to producers Eric Rosse (Tori Amos) and Andrew Slater (Fiona Apple, the Wallflowers), but there's not enough drama in their peaceful reconciliation and collaboration for anyone to notice. But Jacko or Nic? Could the breakup song "Gone" be about one of them? She won't say, except to say that she's "done worrying" about them.
"God, I don't know, lately I can't follow any of it," she said of the past year's Michael Jackson news. "He's seemingly progressively more [unusual] lately, more in these last couple of years, more than when I was around."
While some songs seem to be about past partners, two seem to address her dad ? or at least his legacy: first single "Lights Out" and "Nobody Noticed It." But Presley doesn't want to say that they do.
"Lights Out," she said, "is "just a concept of a time, a place, a thing, but not my dad specifically." And though she co-wrote "Nobody Noticed It" following a viewing of E!'s "True Hollywood Story: The Last Days of Elvis," she explained it away as "a general ode to someone who's close to you who's passed away." She refused further clarification except to say, "He was a good dad. He was part of my life."
Presley will appear on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on May 1. An episode of VH1's "Driven" dedicated to her debuts on June 1.

 Lisa Marie and Ginuwine Bow in Top 10, But This Week Is All About Our Chart-Topping Rocker (April 15, 2003)
Wonder if Steve Jobs likes Godsmack.
Even if the Apple entrepreneur doesn't, more than 260k fans certainly do, making the Republic/Universal rockers from New England #1 on this week's Top 50 HITS album chart with their third album, Faceless, which should make them anything but.
Homer's Omaha-based honcho Rick Galusha denied he was the role model for Jack Nicholson in About Schmidt, flashed the devil sign, banged his head and insisted: "I may be an atheist, but I believe in Godsmack. The new album was a big winner for us this week, and I look forward to celebrating the occasion by sacrificing a goat to Sully and the boys on the pyre in my backyard."
Other newcomers to the Top 10 included Capitol's Lisa Marie Presley, whose debut album, To Whom It May Concern, was anything but a hound dog, bowing at #5, with an impressive 140k in sales. Epic soul man Ginuwine's The Senior landed at #7.
Added Galusha: "The Lisa Marie album was a pleasant surprise. It seems like she grabbed a lot of her old man's fans, as well as some of her own. And Ginuwine is always a strong performer for us. This isn’t widely known, but insurance agents love R&B."
James Taylor's best-of on Warner Strategic Marketing debuted just outside the Top 10 at #11, while WSM’s Cher retrospective was up 11%, thanks to last week's primetime TV special, at #6.
WB's Linkin Park dropped a spot from #1, a position it had held for two weeks, with Shady/Aftermath/Interscope's 50 Cent (#3), Capitol's Now 12 (#4), Blue Note’s Norah Jones (#8), Epic’s Celine Dion (#9) and Wind-up's Evanescence (#10) completing the Top 10. There were a total of nine 100k-plus sellers on the charts this week; interestingly, the nine were ranked #1-9 as well. Will wonders never cease?
Other chart newcomers included Roc-A-Fella/IDJ's Jay-Z re-package (#13), Lost Highway/IDJ's Lucinda Williams (#18) and Rap-A-Lot/Virgin’s Scarface (#28).
Aside from Cher, double-digit increases were registered by RCA's Christina Aguilera (+15%, 31-27), DreamWorks Nashville's Toby Keith (+16%, 37-34), WB's Trapt (+16%, 40-38) and Epic's Jennifer Lopez (+12%, 45-44).
Next week, it's gonna be all about 50 Cent, as his historic combo DVD + CD hits…yup, the album charts.

Presley wants to be known for more than who she's married
By DAN DeLUCA, Knight Ridder Newspapers
NEW YORK -- If heredity equals destiny, Lisa Marie Presley is finally where she belongs.
The daughter of the King (and ex-wife of the King of Pop) is in a converted Manhattan rehearsal space, performing before an audience for just the fourth time in her life.
As she belts out Lights Out, the first single from her just-released debut To Whom It May Concern, every gesture is a reminder that she's a scion of rock 'n' roll royalty. Her left leg jiggles nervously, a lock of blond-streaked hair falls over her forehead, and her lip curls in a familiar sneer.
When she's done leading a six-piece band through the bluesy rocker about her father's death and the burial plot that awaits her on Graceland's "damn back lawn," the tough crowd of journalists and music industry insiders gives her a round of applause, relieved to hear that Elvis' little girl is more than a novelty act.
But not nearly as relieved as Presley is to have cleared another checkpoint on the road to being taken seriously. "Thanks," she says, her sullen expression replaced by a smile. "Thanks for coming down for this public display of neurosis."
It's a daunting task, launching a singing career at the ancient-by-pop-standards age of 35. And not a little intimidating for one whose only previous job was to be famous for being famous.
"I want a fingerprint of my own and I want credibility, and that's all I want," Presley explained earlier in the day, after appearing on Good Morning America on an hour's sleep. (She flew in from Los Angeles the night before, and the mini-bar was waiting. "I was going to be good," she says. "Stay in, not drink. Didn't happen, though.")
"I just want some substance to my existence," she said. Winter is her favorite season, and she's delighted that April snow is coming down. Her father once flew her to Montana in his private jet, the Lisa Marie, just so she could play in the snow for the afternoon.
What she craves, she says, is to be known for "something that I created. Not who I married, or where I came from -- not that I'm trying to run from that."
If she did, she wouldn't get far. Rolling out the adult-pop To Whom It May Concern, the petite singer -- who's just Lisa, or LMP, to close friends -- has been all over the media. The cover of Rolling Stone. A prime-time interview with Diane Sawyer. Newsweek, Letterman, Howard Stern. And it's always the same for the mother of Danielle,13, and Ben, 10 -- both from her first marriage, to musician Danny Keough.
"It's Michael (Jackson), Nic (Cage), your dad. Did you really have sex with Michael Jackson? Where were you when your father died?"
(For the record, the answers are: Hard as it is to believe, yes. And, home at Graceland, at age 9.)
Presley understands people's fascination with her lineage and her second and third failed marriages -- she refers to herself as a "tabloid queen" -- and she wants people to know that she's not dishing for self-serving reasons.
"Michael Jackson fans claim that I'm trying to sell records by talking about it. No!" she says, emphatically. "Like I'm enjoying this?"
Presley is justifiably proud of her album. "I think I'm pretty good at putting my feeling and thoughts into music," she says. But she finds the promotional machine "a little scary. I'm feeling very exposed. I've avoided it all my life for a reason. I'm not really comfortable talking about myself."
Asked for her fondest memory of her father, she gently declines: "I've got a lot of them, but I don't want to get into capitalizing on that. There's not a lot I get to keep to myself anymore."
Presley's privacy didn't stop her from going on Stern's show last week, an invitation she accepted because the shock jock had implied she was afraid of him. "I'm always up for a challenge," she says. She revealed that, yes, she once had a night of lesbian love. But her sense of decorum prevailed when she was asked to describe Jackson's private parts.
On this day, she doesn't want to talk about Jacko, to whom she was married for 20 months before filing for divorce in 1996. "I fell in love with him, I did," she told Sawyer.
Jackson was accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy in 1993; charges never resulted, and a civil suit filed by the boy's family was settled out of court shortly before Jackson's wedding to Lisa Marie in 1994. But there was speculation, by Presley's mother, Priscilla, among others, that Jackson was using Presley to deflect attention from the accusations. Presley has said that, during their time together, she saw only an obsessive careerist with an undeniable bond with children, and that she would never have put her own kids in jeopardy.
Presley wrote all the lyrics and co-wrote much of the music on To Whom It May Concern, which was produced by Eric Rosse, whom she chose because of his work with Tori Amos. One song, called Disciple, was planned for the album but didn't make the cut.
"Everyone around you, they're sick, they're on medication, or they will finally lose their minds," the song goes. "But they will always defend you and justify your insanity like I did, because you make them blind."
Was that intended as a commentary on her relationship with Jackson?
"Not entirely, no," she says. "I don't like saying what my songs are about, because I want to leave it open for interpretation by others."
Presley is a U2, Radiohead and PJ Harvey fan, and says "music has had a profound effect on me all my life. I wanted to be able to give that to others, believe it or not."
She grew up around music at Graceland, where she lived until her parents divorced when she was 4, and where she often visited after moving to California with her mother.
"I was exposed to a lot of things real fast," she remembers of the crowd that surrounded her father. "I had to watch these guys cheating on their wives," which led her to a low opinion of women, not men. To this day, Presley confides, "I don't have many close friends who are women."
She also watched a lot of drug use at Graceland: "I got an early education on how bad men and women can act. Most of those people were sucking the life out of him."
At boarding school, Presley was "not a cheerleader, not part of the student body council. I wasn't that kid." The stories that she was a teenage addict are false, she says, though her mother did send her to Scientology camp to get herself together, and she's thankful for it. She says the impression that she's being manipulated by a cult that's after the Elvis Presley Enterprises fortune is off-base.
Scientology is "about self-discovery," says Presley, who is worth an estimated $500 million and counts fellow Scientologist John Travolta as a buddy.
"It's kind of like an encyclopedia on life. It explains things to my satisfaction. It doesn't leave things open to interpretation. It's very matter-of-fact, and you sort of go out in life and go, 'Hey, that IS how it works. Wow.'"
Presley wrote her first song when she was 22, then went into the studio to record Baby, I Love You, an Aretha Franklin song, "just to make sure I could sing."
She's always written lyrics, but she didn't focus on a music career until she signed with Capitol in 1998. That's partly because of the shadow cast by her father. There is a pressure, she acknowledges, "but I had to park that, because I didn't want to not do something that I should do -- or needed to do -- because of fear."
She began recording with producer Glen Ballard, noted for his work with her second husband and with Alanis Morissette, plus Green Day knob-twiddler Rob Cavallo and others. It was an amorphous mess, Presley says.
When Andrew Slater took over Capitol in 2001, he was impressed by Presley's seriousness. He has referred to her as "a good songwriter caught in the wrong musical context," and hooked her up with Rosse, who helped concoct a slick contemporary sound built around the singer's snarling drawl.
Presley worked on the album while trying to work on her relationship with Cage, the Oscar-winning actor and avid Elvis fan she dated for two years and married in August. He filed for divorce three months later.
Her time with Cage, she says, was "tumultuous. Really intense. Really good, and really bad. Nowhere in between." The mistake was "getting married to try to make us happier, or to try to stop what was happening. We tried to make each other more secure by marrying. ... never a good idea."
Told that she has a reputation as a man-eater, Presley says, "Wow, at least that one's a compliment." She admits to being a "troublemaker. I have a tendency to kick it up. I like to rattle the cage."
Presley's happy that she's not involved with a man right now, and is on friendly terms with Keough, who comes to the house and helps home-school their children so she can focus on music.
She hates to be alone, though -- just as Elvis did -- and, like him, she surrounds herself with friends. "If I'm alone too long I think too much, and I'm not interested in doing that," she says cryptically. "That won't lead anywhere good, I'm sure. If I'm busy I tend to stay out of trouble. An idle mind is the devil's playground."
The next step for Presley is a tour of small venues that begins next month. It's another daunting hurdle, but, she says, "I'll be comfortable on stage if people come because they like the album and they really want to see me. Not because they look at it as a curiosity, or they're really skeptical."
Big sales aren't really her goal. And fame? Who needs more of that?
"I just want to be able to say that my music affected people and I was credible in doing it. I'm the bravest that I've ever been right now. Don't ask me where I got these balls: I have no idea."

A chat with Lisa Marie by Tom Hogue, The Hamilton Spectator (Canada)
After years of trying to live a private life, shunning interviews and public appearances, Lisa Marie Presley, the tough-talking, 35-year-old daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, stepped out of relative seclusion in the past few weeks and into the eye of a media storm.
The object was to talk about her new singing career and her recently released first album, a darkly arranged and emotionally charged recording, titled To Whom It May Concern.
But in interviews with Rolling Stone, Diane Sawyer, Howard Stern and others, she found herself defending and explaining brief and bizarre marriages to Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage.
She claimed she fell in love with Michael Jackson because she fell for his story about being a victim of publicity and that was before allegations surfaced about child abuse.
About her three-month marriage to "hothead" Cage, she says they were too much alike.
As for the young girl at Graceland, who at age nine helplessly watched her father die as a result of an excessive lifestyle, she seems unable to shake the bitterness that lingers.
In an interview with the Spectator's Entertainment editor Tom Hogue, Lisa Marie Presley talks about her new perspective in the aftermath of the publicity and the music that started it all for her.
Is this attention what you expected?
I didn't know what to expect because I was caught up in the writing process and the artistic side of (the album) that I just didn't know what to expect afterwards. This is the first time I've done it. I've kind of just been flying off the seat of my pants, getting used to various things along the way.
Any lessons so far?
It seems to be going all right -- just being myself. I really don't know what else to do. It was kind of a crap shoot whether that was going to fly or not, I guess.
Have you got it all out of your system or is there more bottled up?
Yeah, I could write every day. I could write a song or two every day if I had the time.
You refer to a struggle with your producers during the making of the album.
(Executive producer Andrew) Slater and I have a love-hate thing. I don't think that's unusual to him. We're very similar -- No B.S., no pretense.
Listening to the album, there is a mid-1980s sound of the Pretenders and Stranglers. Is that my imagination?
I've heard that. The guy that mixed it said Chrissie Hynde -- a little bit. So that was fine.
The early 1980s was a gloomy period. Is there a parallel with world affairs today and the timing of your album?
It was just being who I was and pulling from where I needed to pull in order to write. I guess I don't get inspired to write when I'm happy. And I don't respond to music that I don't feel was honestly pulled from a genuine place. I'm very much influenced by Roger Waters and Pink Floyd.
What's next up for you?
As for a new album, I've got to ride this one out for a bit. I don't want to give it up yet but I have my ideas. I'm booked on a small-venue tour in clubs in clubs in Chicago and other major cities. I've got to get my chops live. They're throwing me out quick.
What are some of the reactions you are getting?
Rolling Stone was my first real interview. I feel like it captured me pretty damn well.
Did it feel like it was an intrusion?
No. I was overripe. I was ready to talk.
Were you ready at another early time of your life to talk this openly?
Not really. I kind of ignored everything for a long time. Then I realized it's not a good idea for so long because the image of me kind of funnelled out of control from who I really was. Part of the shock at this point is that people are actually seeing who I am versus things they've been reading for years, or hearing or whatever.
What are people surprised about?
It's almost as if my personality and who I am has been a secret for so long. People who I've known since I've been 16, 17 everybody knows me, but there was an image funnelling that was nothing like me. It was a little bit superficial and sort of ridiculous. I just see the more the interviews are happening -- the more people are responding -- how much out of control that image got because I'm not doing anything differently than I've been doing for the last 20 years.
Which image of you did you hate the most?
The sensationalistic tabloidly celebrity, quote unquote, "novelty" I guess.
You rebelled against it but you are a quite a celebrity.
I understand but at the same time, it gets a little out of control when you haven't done anything to ask for it. And if I come out and talk, then it looks like I'm capitalizing on it, and I don't want to do that.
With the celebrity marriages (to Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage) some would say you were asking for it.
You know what? That's not the case. Here's the deal: I was with 14 men in my life -- like relationships. Two of them were celebrities. Two out of 14 ain't bad. The other ones do exist, they are living, breathing human beings and nobody gives a crap about them.
Do they feel unloved with all of the attention through all this?
I know one. I don't speak to the other kind of post-Danny (Keough, her first husband with whom she continues to have a close relationship). Prior to that, I don't know any of them anymore.
I wasn't trying to go out with celebrities. But one of the things I did try to figure out was "Should I go out with someone who is one or who isn't (a celebrity)?"
They they both have their drawbacks. With me being strong, being a woman, being the one who has all the celebrity, the interest, the power, the this, the that -- it's not easy for a man to be in a position like this, especially if he is talented on his own.
He gets kind of smothered or they get pummelled and they turn into Mr. Presley and they get this whole stigma on them and I hate that. And so I go to the other extreme and that's what you see happening and not anything else.
Where do you want to go besides singing? Are you interested in films?
No. Music has been such a big part of my life that I just want to give it back. It helped me get through everything. It's one of those things that innately comes to me. If I was trying to seek attention, maybe I'd be all over the place. I'd be home shopping. I'd have my own clothing design. I don't know -- I'd be everywhere. Music is in my heart. That's me, that's what I'm interested in.
Are you nervous about the upcoming tour?
No. I think that it will help me break through what I need to break through. It's not easy. When most bands have toured, they've gotten their gig together and that by the time they've signed something, they've already had all that, so they go out and they're excited to do all that. My third performance ever was on David Letterman national TV last week.
How did that go for you?
The sound notoriously on that show is never that awesome. It's never easy to read what's happening on TV compared with what's happening in that room. I thought it sucked actually -- my first half of the song was off. But that's kind of the risk right now because I'm nervous. Your throat tightens.
Putting yourself out there like this, is there any risk of you getting lost in the attention or being smothered by adoration like your father?
I think I kind of got adapted to that early on in my life.
So where are you with the acceptance of what led to the downfall of your father? Is there any rage still?
I'm not actually angry.
I've read in some interviews your views on what if it had gone differently with the people around your father.
They could have tried harder. And they could have not been doing it themselves. It's hypocritical -- coming out after and saying all these things he was doing and pointing the finger at him and trying to take him down with his dignity. Yet these guys were disgusting. I was born into watching these men with women, cheating on their wives, doing drugs, with dirty magazine everywhere. They were out of their minds on drugs. They have no room to talk.
Can they be forgiven?
I think what you're hearing right now is me finally saying something with conviction. You know what, if they shut up and stop it, yeah, but they don't stop. They're still out there, these (expletive)... . So if you shut the f--- up maybe then I'll forgive them.
What about the rest of the world that has obviously adopted your father as their own? Is there a sense of sharing him too much?
No.
What of the whole Elvis phenomenon? Are we going to see another phase of attention on your father?
I'm not going there just yet in my mind.
Are you worried about the attention this will bring to your own small family (Danielle, 13, and Ben, 10)?
I'm going to take it as it comes but I will definitely have them priority protected.

BILLBOARD ALBUM REVIEWS
LISA MARIE PRESLEY: To Whom It May Concern In what amounts to one of the most intriguing debuts in recent memory, Lisa Marie Presley finally bows on Capitol in a release that's sure to gain some attention via a high curiosity factor. But there is some searing depth to rock'n'roll's most famous princess, and she has some estimable chops both as singer and songwriter. Musically, this is sultry, surly mainstream rock with a cutting, contemporary edge. The touching biograph "Lights Out" is a real powerhouse, and "Gone" owns biting intelligence, while rock harmonies season the heartbreaking tribute to her father, "Nobody Noticed It," and the well-written "Sinking In." As a singer, Presley is alternatingly snarling, exposed, and defiant, and surprisingly effective, if somewhat buried in the mix at times. Lyrically, she's even better—raw, wounded, and often pissed off, though one wonders why, given a life of privilege. Even so, this project stands on its own and is far better than many might expect.

Viva Lisa Vegas
Yes, that was Lisa Marie Presley bouncing around Las Vegas on Monday(3/31). She spent much of Monday night riding the Big Shot and the High Roller at Stratosphere with a group of friends. Elvis' 35-year-old daughter was the daring member of the group, riding the Big Shot five times in a row. (Drew Barrymore holds the celebrity record with 10 consecutive turns.) Presley's debut disc, "To Whom It May Concern," which drops a week from today, has been garnering very good reviews. She was in town to explore doing a live date in Las Vegas. Her label, Capitol Records, has said she will tour to support the recording, but has not definitively said Las Vegas will (or won't) be a tour stop. Can you imagine the frenzy a Presley playing a live date in Vegas would cause? It might even knock Celine out of the paper. |

Lisa Marie Presley stops by "The Late Show with David Letterman" at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York City (4/9/2003)
Wednesday, April 9, 2003. Show #1967
LISA MARIE PRESLEY: Her dad was here 46 years ago in this very theater. I'm not sure but I believe Elvis made his network television debut on Milton Berle's show and not on Ed Sullivan. (ed.note: back when my ankles were stronger, I could do a mean "Elvis Presley" impersonation) Later in the show, Lisa Marie will perform a song in front of a live audience for only the 4th time ever. Yikes. It's like, "Here's your driver's license. Good luck at the Indianapolis 500." Does Lisa listen to her dad's songs? She says she enjoys his 70's stuff, "Kentucky Rain", "In The Ghetto" . . . I wonder if "Suspicious Minds" is on her list. It's one of my Elvis favorites. My freshman year in college I performed my Elvis at a dorm Gong Show. "Hound Dog." I got gonged but the people enjoyed it anyway. I was more interested in pleasing the people than pleasing the judges. It's the way I am, a man of the people. I became known as the guy who did Elvis.
Dorm conversation would go something like this:
Lisa Marie goes back to Graceland 2-3 times a year. The upstairs bedrooms haven't been touched since Elvis left us. It's just the way it is. Sounds like my room from ages 14-19.
What can she tell us about Michael Jackson?
She seems to have a lot to say but isn't saying much.
How was Elvis as a father and how is it for her being a mom to two girls? Lisa says "Nothing worked on me growing up, and nothing is working on my daughters." She sounds like your typical teen. LISA MARIE PRESLEY: She's back to sing a song from her new CD, "To Whom It May Concern." The song, "Lights Out." I actually sort of enjoyed it. I loved her lip curling snarl, just like her daddy's. |
