    Has Kirsten posted her recap of last night’s concert yet?

  • Tess

    And i think once her single goes out on radio and it starts circulating i think it will get a different reaction because it’ll actually be heard.

    Considering the fact that not every song released to radio gets played and heard (see Cook, D) its still a big if to think that Pia is going to be a big radio hit prior to the end of idol. Unless Interscope is willing to spend a fortune on her with no guaranteed reselts her radio time might be pretty limited. If the AI fans haven’t been jumping up and down for her what is to say that the buying public will.

  • Buffynut

    Just watched the videos from the links posted on the previous page and I have to say, Lauren sounds much better than she did in SLC. I hope that means her voice is recovering.

    Reminder:

    Let’s keep this conversation FOCUSED ON THE TOUR.

    Deleting off topic posts.

    This will be a regular drum that I beat all the way through the tour.

    People who insist on fighting old fan wars or rehashing last season, in these tour threads, despite my mods will be put in moderation.

  • Tess

    Because there isn’t much overlap between the Idol audience and the top40 audience, using Idol audiences to gauge the potential popularity of a song on CHR radio doesn’t make much sense.

    I’m sure that there is a goodly number of idol enthusiasts that listen to CHR and are very familiar with the artists who debut there. It isn’t like the 20 million folks who watch idol all have the same taste (or lack there of, as is sometimes insinuated). Maybe the 20 million doesn’t necessarily contain peeps who are into rhythmic or hip hop or rap or who love auto-tuned and electronic…but then I don’t think Pia would win those peeps over, regardless. Her “sound and style” is more apt to be appreciated by the AI faithful then the hep and with it ipod generation, I would think.

  • fuzzywuzzy

    Tess: We’ll just have to disagree on that point. My opinion is based on the fact that the median age for Idol viewers this past season was over 47 years old, so a substantial portion of Idol viewers were clearly outside of the CHR demographic.

  • indigoimrah

    All I was trying to say is I don’t get that guys get more reaction then girls, guys are average singers( girls are better this year). Could it be sex appeal? but as far as I can see none of them have that, they are average in looks and lack that ” IT ” factor and stage presence. If you count the running around in audience and yelling at audience to clap and force reaction out of them as a stage presence then IDK what to say.

    There’s nothing to understand.
    Guys have been the draw for the tour ever since season 2. It’s purely based on demographics.

    As someone said previously in this thread Bo and Constantine got the majority of the screams during the season 4 tour.

    The tours with a big numbers of female performers placing high (season 3 or 6) were relative busts overall compared to other years.

    This old girl slinks into the corner, equipped with an iPod full of Lady Gaga/Adele/ CeeLo Green songs….

    What does the over 47 set listen to. Classical? Crooners? Defending my demographic I just have to say that my generation has been exposed to and have supported pretty much all the genres of music that are still popular today. In all actuality we are probably, as a whole, a lot more knowledgeable and in sinc with all types of music than the majority of kids who are barely out of adolescence. My music collection is beyond diverse, and even though I can’t sing a note I appreciate a lot of different genres including Top 40…I bet I could even tell you who are the most popular acts in that genre…amazing as that may be. So, if Idol fans grew up when I did and have been exposed to all the musical styles that I have been they are probably pretty damn aware of what is going on…It’s my parent’s generation that wouldn’t get it (and they are in their ninetys) not the “kids” I grew up with.

    Naima gets stuck with “On the floor”, Paul with “Maggie May” (which he hates BTW), and Thia gets a Selena Gomez song. The top 5 also had to sing old Idol songs. So in someway Pia (and Stefano for that matter) are getting the special treatment, which is why some idol fans are not too happy.

    The interview with Stefano said he was happy with the songs he got, but they weren’t his personal preferences. He wants his album to sound like a crossover of Stevie Wonder and John Legend and if thats the case, im excited. If he said Bruno Mars, i would not have been excited. no hate for Bruno Mars tho he da man, but i think we need some of this old stuff back.

    Anyway, yea i was a little… suprised with Naima, Paul and Thia’s song.

    Thia mentioned she wants to follow an Adele sort of career path, so kinda acoustic soul. I would’ve picked “Make It Mine” by Jason Mraz. Firstly, her favourite male artist, universal message everyone can connect with and the song itself is about touring and enjoying life. It’s a multi-genre song and wait for it… it’s uptempo and you have to play the guitar! Basically, everything i think will fully display her talents in one song. However, she did a great job with “Who Says”, and although i dont think the song is the best song, its got a relate-able message for her and the majority of the audience who are probably teenagers.

    Paul, felt very very sorry for him. Poor guy, mentioned things like Blacks Keys, Mumford and Sons.. and then he had to do Maggie May again. it coulda been a great way to educate the younger audiences to other types of music.

    I tweeted Naima…. “hope you get to do some Reggae on the tour” she answered “I WISH!” obviously she wanted to but she couldnt haha. she did a great job with on the floor and no doubt she was born to perform live.

    As for Pia, i still like her, and she said Rhianna and Alicia Keys sorta album, and thats exactly what she got but… aww. i do feel sorry for her, she probably was just lucky and she really didnt have much control either..but i see why fans will be frustrated, its not because we see more of her i really dont mind that, its because of the comparison with the other contestants.

    You should probably see a tour show yourself and you may have a different opinion afterward. All the contestants last night, with the exception of Pia, worked the stage, engaged the audience & were very, very entertaining. I wasn’t a particular fan of James, Stefano, Paul or Jacob going into the show, but all four of those guys were awesome on stage & got the crowd involved. Lauren, Haley, Naima all got a lot of love from the crowd last night and had tremendous stage presence about them.

    None of the performers had to run around in the audience forcing people to be happy, lol. The audience willingly gave love to the performers.

  • indigoimrah

    Well I was just responding to what little that I saw from watching clips and reading what others have to say about the show. I am happy for them and the audience. It is always better live, you can feel the energy from the performer and the audience. So all is good in Idol land.

  • Ratna12

    Eillen99, thanks for your recap.
    Happy that you had a great time on the show.
