LOL at that chick in the poster singing in front of a boom box circa 1980. So you have Simon’s last season of AI vs. the last season of Lost? Holy clash of the pop culture icons. (I hope Lost wins.)

Clay Aiken and Elliott Yamin were also pretty unknown.

I highly doubt the upcoming pimpees wil be complete unknowns with zero previous experience.

Thank goodness.

Complete unknowns with zero previous experience = Gokey

or, you can look at it this way
unknown= Kelly Clarkson
unknown=fantasia(I don’t care what anyone says, this girl can sing and has been nominated for a grammy 8 times, she’s doing all right)
unknown=Jennifer hudson
unknown=Chris daughtry

just because Gokey was way over his head(YOMV) doesn’t mean that all unknowns are.

“In the first promo vid, the sound goes ” ¦the next American Idol!’ , and at the same time, they throw an almost subliminal second of Adam’s concert footage. Rather distasteful, that.”

Really? I’m very curious, how is it distasteful?

Being highly featured in the pre-idol promos is the kiss of death.

Is the information creditable though?

Sure. It’s as credible as anyone else’s. I’ve been reading the spoiler information they’ve dug up for years. They get a lot of it with the help of Joe’s Place, which is very reliable. I still remember the list that included David Cook, who, at the time, didn’t impress me at all just reading about him. (I say once again, thank heavens for the writers’ strike!!)

There is more info on her thread on VFTW (they are the ones that find this stuff and I’m going to give credit for their work)

Is the information creditable though? Most of their posts make no sense at all. There just isn’t anything factual there. lol

Is idol really on at 9? Up against the final season of Lost, which is scheduled for Tuesdays at 9? Yuk. DVR’ing AI, watching Lost. Boo – it will affect my chat time!

Is that Leneshe Young at the beginning of the first video? (The young girl who auditioned in Kentucky with her original tune, "Nati" last season?) A lot of people were surprised when she was cut early last year and predicted she'd be back this year.

isn’t that Allison at :04 seconds into the first ad?

It sure is. It makes the commercial so much better …

Season 9 can not come soon enough! I do like the premise of these ads even if I highly doubt the upcoming pimpees wil be complete unknowns with zero previous experience.

Last years commercials were amazing. I always thought Kelly should have been featured in one too.
