When American Idol winner Kris Allen tweets, everybody reads. The gazillion responses are the electronic equivalent of screaming.

All it took was the simple statement “Rainy day in gokeyland” as the idol and his tour mates, among them hometown guy Danny Gokey, contemplated what to do in rainy Milwaukee. The Season 8 American Idols perform at the Bradley Center tomorrow night.

Here’s the best of the return tweets so far, from someone asking about Milwaukee: “Is it just a huge theme park where you try on glasses?”

Have you got anything better? Just asking.

And I think DA and Charice are going to make one heck of a duet together. Some people are just born with special talent and ability and appear almost destined to rise to stardom. (Hopefully I haven't overstated, lol)

But I do believe she’s fully capable of subtlety, maybe she just doesn’t choose to showcase it often.

What Charice lacks really is VOCAL SUBTLETY. She tends to depend on vocal bombast to impress the audience.

They are both pretty popular here in the Philippines, so this is bound to be a hit here. I had feeling that the Charice/David duet is going to happen.

He's really doing well as a songwriter and I couldn't be happier for him. When you talk about post-Idol success, I'd point to him any day. As for Michael Castro, I have no opinion of him because I barely keep up with Jason, much less his family. That doesn't mean I'm not a Jason fan... I'll be buying his album when it comes out. If Michael is opinionated and cocky, he may just go through. Idol loves that. Yay for Chris Sligh! He’s really doing well as a songwriter and I couldn’t be happier for him.

Check out what she told Brian Mansfield: http://content.usatoday.com/communities/idolchatter/post/2009/08/carrie-underwood-writing-with-ne-yo/1 "I had never met him before," Carrie tells me. "He's a very nice gentleman. It was really nice of him to just come and see what we could do." Carrie says they got a keeper out of the session, though she's not sure it'll be part of her forthcoming album, due Nov. 3. "We came out with an awesome song," Carrie says. "I'm not sure if it fits within the context of the rest of the album, but there is no doubt in my mind that somebody somewhere is going to record this song." Carrie's also said she's done recording so IMO that's her nice way of saying the song won't make her album. I don’t think Carrie recorded the song she cowrote with NeYo.

Jason has a major label deal and will have his first cd out before Hollywood week comes into play. Say Jason's cd does really well with Atlantic's promotion and he starts finding a broader audience outside of Idol? Are they really going to chance bringing Michael into the Top 24 who will have at that point more than just a pre-existing Castro fanbase? We're sort of in uncharted Idol waters there. Has there ever been a situation like that? Now if Jason tanks (hopefully not), the story might be different since Michael would only have the pre-existing Jason fans behind him and it wouldn't be such a huge advantage. Plus of course not all Jason fans are behind Michael in the first place. Major truth though to their personalities being night and day though. Even if Michael makes the show I have a feeling he'll be one of those that pisses people off because he tends to be a tad opinionated (understatement) and he can come off as cocky.

In some ways Michael would be have both an advantage and disadvantage if he made the voting rounds. The diehard Jason fans love him of course so there's that but it would only make up a small percentage of votes, the tricky part would to be convince the rest of America to not compare him to Jason and vote. One thing the boy is not is Jason 2.0. As for the Daughtry/Timbaland thing.....as a huge fan I think it's very cool that they're a part of a highly anticipated record and the guest list is quite impressive. I'm also totally curious (and a little nervous) as to what kind of song it's going to be.
