‘American Idol’s’ slow slog to live shows is zombielike – From the “Idol” season premiere on Jan. 18 to the first live performances next week, the 24 semifinalists will have been through the initial screening, live performances before the judges in their audition cities, a Hollywood solo, a Hollywood group performance, another Hollywood solo, a Las Vegas group performance, and one final solo performance this week. After each round, the majority of singers move on while the smaller group of eliminated contestants do the sad and angry mumbling trudge back to their hometowns, like so many people looking for judges’ brains to chomp down on in their rage. – Read more at MSNBC

    I received a magazine in the mail today from Samaritan’s Purse which of course coordinates the Operation Christmas Child shoebox drive every year.  If you’ve filled up a shoebox at least once in your life, you’ve probably received one of these magazines.  This month’s issue was dedicated specially to the shoebox project and I had a gut feeling that Scotty would be in the magazine and sure enough on the bottom right hand corner of page 17 is a picture of a smiling Scotty (I’m assuming at his church) holding a shoebox that he apparently had packed himself along with some other volunteers.

    it is tomorrow, not tonight. :) The Idols generally perform in the auditorium on the Wal-Mart corporate campus when they do this gigs

  • Chris

    I checked the tweets and all are favorable. Not gonna lie, I was worried since my daughter had a similar experience and she didn’t want to go back on stage again. She knew it, but got on stage and froze part way through. Her teacher made her get back out there for the spring recital. Glad Lauren got back on the horse too.

    Kris’ performance is not a concert it is a promotional event for his new cd with the execs from the retailer.

    Britney’s not stupid :).  She’s probably seen the rumored salaries for JLo & Christina and is thinking “hey, I can sit in judgement of people for TEN or TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS”.  It’s a whole lot less tiring than touring the world.

    Tripp_ncwy is right, this is about buttering up the Walmart execs, so that when his album is released they will order well, give him some choice spots in their stores, make sure that the cd is spotlighted in their circular and on theri website, and any other goodies that they can provide.

    The even that Kris is performing at could be anything from a share holders meeting to a private party.

    There could be some shareholders at this promo performance, but the regular shareholders’ meetings are big events held in Bud Walton Arena. I remember Daughtry being the Headliner at the 2009 event. This event is usually held in the first part of the summer. I could see it being in the auditorium on the Walmart Campus, like girlygirl suggested.

    Most Kris fans (like me) are aware of that event, since Kris performed at it.

    Actually, the meeting that you are thinking of lasts for several days, and there are pretty much performances every day, including ones that are in the main meeting area.  Kris performed on the last day of the meeting that was held in 2009, as did Smokey Robinson, who brought Kris out to sing one song with him.  Here are some pictures from the event, and Kris with Smokey.  http://walmartstores.com/pressroom/photos/gallery.aspx?id=615 Daughtry performed a few days before Kris during the 2009 meeting.

    But, even though that shareholders event is probably the largest, there are others, because in 2010 Kris performed at another one that  I believe was held in Florida.  That was a day or two after he performed for a special event for them at a school in Arkansas that they sponsor.

    Other Kris fans (like me) know that Kris performed at this event in June of 2009. Tomorrow night is not a shareholders meeting like the one held every summer.

    Maybe it’s a shareholders meeting like the one that was held in Florida.  LOL.  I don’t think that this is an argument.  It may be a small meeting of shareholders, and it may not be.  None of us knows.

    That’s what I said. It could be that a group of shareholders will be there and it could be held in the auditorium on the Walmart campus, but it isn’t the one that is held in the summer of every year. All I was saying is it isn’t like the one Kris performed at in 2009 when he was fresh off of Idol.

    This seems to be something that was set up just for Kris, which I considered to be a positive sign! I saw it as RCA trying to work promo before the single and album drops!

    I was there for that Reno performance!!  Best performance of Works For Me ever.  David didn’t even look around to find out what was going on.  He just instinctively knew what to do.  We always wanted him to do more of that!! Thanks for posting!! Memory Lane.
