Idol Headlines for 03/17/09

Great for Chikeze, and a lot of number-watchers will be glad that Ken Barnes is back, but this is interesting:

The female à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“AIà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  worker told a à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“group of people that the last four are going to be Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Adam Lambert and Alexis Grace,à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  said our insider. Asked if this was opinion or actual fact, the staffer vehemently retorted, à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Those ARE the people,à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  saying it wasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t mere speculation.

But what about Matt G? And Allison? I hope this isn’t true, but they have manipulated things a lot this season so far.

The female à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“AIà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  worker told a à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“group of people that the last four are going to be Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Adam Lambert and Alexis Grace,à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  said our insider. Asked if this was opinion or actual fact, the staffer vehemently retorted, à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Those ARE the people,à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  saying it wasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t mere speculation.

I’m going to do my best to change that; Kris, Matt, and Allison each have the potential to pull an upset.

However if the Top 4 group turns out to be true, I’ll get 3 weeks of my life back because there’s no way in hell I’m watching that fixed crap.

That NY Post article about Taylor really sums up the problem. The writer had no idea he had an album out. Why should he? Without the mega backing of Idol (and even with it), that second Idol album has a hell of a time. And Taylor is now an indie. Lucky for him, he gets good paycheck from Grease and can put out the kind of music he wants.

As far as the Daily News article, it’s interesting but the only one who seems commercial to me is Alexis. I think Danny is talented but he’s “old” for pop stardom, not radio friendly (as far as I can see) and I don’t believe he’s TCO for a minute. Alexis seems “more current” but I don’t get how she’s such a role model while Lil’s back story is too much like Fantasia. In reality, Alexis and Fantasia were both single teen moms. Does Alexis being white make her story different? I don’t get that. Plus she seems to have a serious “bitch” vibe going on.

I think lots of the S8 fok are talented but have no special interest in any of them. So I’m trying to be objective here.

It’s not like those 4 are a long shot. I don’t think I’d buy the fix, even if they did end up being the last standing — unless one without a strong fanbase crashes and burns more than once and still ends up there. After all, Jason (and I love him) did flub more than once and still ended up there. And, Brooke, as special as she was, fell apart (or was subpar) on a performance or two and ended up close too. It happens, particularly with an early-established large, or rabid fanbase.

ETA: HOORAY for the return of Ken Barnes!!!

ETA Again: “Adam is nothing like Daughtry. Whoever said that is on crack.”

Whaaaaaaaaat? LOLOLOLOLOLOL No chit, how does anyone even think, much less say that? Was it the Vulture? Cuz then, ya know, maybe.

Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s not like those 4 are a long shot. I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d buy the fix, even if they did end up being the last standing à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’  unless one without a strong fanbase crashes and burns more than once and still ends up there. After all, Jason (and I love him) did flub more than once and still ended up there. It happens, particularly with an early-established large, or rabid fanbase.

Because of the semifinal format this year, I don’t think the fanbases have had the time to be set in stone yet. However, I think tonight’s performances should do it.

Kris, Matt, and Allison have to do well tonight (it’s their last shot, imo) if they want to keep the Top 4 from being a forgone conclusion.

ETA: And yes, major bitch vibes coming from Alexis.

Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s too close in style and sound to Chris Daughtry,

This made me laugh out loud. I wouldn’t be surprised if Danny, Adam, Lil and Alexis ended up being the Top 4, but I’m not sure how much manipulation will be necessary beyond Paula drunkenly yelling “see ya in the finals!” at them every week. I don’t particularly like any of them. Maybe if I could combine Adam’s personality with Alexis’s singing.

I’m sure they have an ideal top 4 in mind every year (last year at Top 11, it was probably Archie, Michael, Carly and Brooke), but they don’t always get what they want. I bet someone “cute” like Kris or Matt will make Top 4 in place of Lil or Alexis. I think those guys have a better chance of picking up new fans along the way than Danny or Adam, who seem more polarizing. Even Anoop still has a slim chance if he starts doing well as of tonight.

Alexis seems à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“more currentà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  but I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t get how sheà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s such a role model while Lilà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s back story is too much like Fantasia. In reality, Alexis and Fantasia were both single teen moms. Does Alexis being white make her story different? I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t get that. Plus she seems to have a serious à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“bitchà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  vibe going on.

Word. Lil is married. She looks nothing like Fantasia either, except for the haircut. They don’t even sing alike. Ll is closer to Latoya London than Fantasia.

Alexis is a single mom. She’s also a big-voiced soul singer, but they will never call her that because she’s white.

I do think she can be marketable. But she does have a vague bitchiness about her to me. If she can keep that under control she can win IMO, but if it gets out she’s done.

Adam is nothing like Daughtry. Whoever said that is on crack.

Is the article that states the top 4 are already determined, some sort of reverse psychology to get us to vote like mad if we don’t see our favorite in the pre-determined top 4? Maybe. Because, I like Matt, but I haven’t voted at all this year, because none of the top 13 have impressed me enough to vote. But now perhaps I will vote to save Matt. Also, I am confused about the article that states 2 of the 4 final contestants are too similiar to past Idols. I can understand Lil and Fantasia being compared, but Daughtry and Adam L? No way! Adam is a bit too frenetic and somewhat contrived in his singing style and Daughtry is not. Their voices are nothing alike. Plus, why must there always be comparisons? This one is like Clay, that one is like Taylor, this one is like Kelly….all coming from the judges themselves. I am tired of it.

Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s too close in style and sound to Chris Daughtry,

Cheese, I also laughed out loud and cried “you have got to be kidding me” These two alike in their ability or style in singing….not a chance.

I still think they want Sarver in the top four mix as they can get rid of him easily. They can also get rid of Lil easily (IMO), but they are going to have to continue to badger and browbeat Alexis so that she will go quietly at 3rd or 4th.

Based on the producer’s editing and amount of air time given the purported top 4 and the judge’s comments from last week to all of the contestants, I could easily buy into the article.

I’m hoping for the best for Chikeze.

Alexis being a role model??? That is sad. Her appearance last
week was trashy, all the while her little child in the audience.
Ya great role model.

Lil’s backstory is not like Fantasia’s. Except for skin color and love of singing, I don’t really see it.

Idolatry Video Interviews with Jorge and Jasmine are up!

Interesting tidbit: Jasmine tried to sing 2 Rihanna songs, but they wouldn’t clear. So, she ended up singing “Reflection” instead.

Eh. I’m not going to hold Alexis’ tarting it up against her becasue the judges pretty muched shoved her into that box from jump, then rewarded her with praise when she jumped in. Plus other than the dress being short, she didn’t really do anything lewd. She just stood there and sang. Also, the song is called Dirty Diana. LOL. I mean, what else are you supposed to wear for that kinda song?

But I am annoyed that they pushed her in that direction. I think it was bad advice. She’s just not a sex kitten. Her whole look is pixie-ish. She could have been told to up the sex appeal without going whole hog into nakedness. There are all kinds of sexy in the world judges, even on the charts! Sometimes, less is more. Geesh.

Interesting tidbit: Jasmine tried to sing 2 Rihanna songs, but they wouldnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t clear. So, she ended up singing à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Reflectionà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  instead.

Rihanna wouldn’t clear her songs for AI or AI didn’t want to go through the process of clearing them for the show? Coz if it’s the latter… maybe AI didn’t want to have anything to do with CB or Rihanna at this moment, heh.

If Alexis loses anymore clothes, she’ll be nekkid.

I know what the judges want, but does the woman have a brain of her own? Gotta draw the line somewhere. She had a very innocent look at her audition, but after Kara drooled the “Go home and make love to your fiance” line, it seemed to go downhill from there. Funny thing is, she still hasn’t lost the innocent look. She’s just wearing less clothing.

The female à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“AIà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  worker told a à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“group of people that the last four are going to be Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Adam Lambert and Alexis Grace,à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  said our insider. Asked if this was opinion or actual fact, the staffer vehemently retorted, à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Those ARE the people,à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  saying it wasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t mere speculation.

Right now, that doesn’t seem like such a reach. I’ll be looking for the takedown bus for anyone who tries to change that. I still think Matt could take down Lil.

Interesting tidbit: Jasmine tried to sing 2 Rihanna songs, but they wouldnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t clear. So, she ended up singing à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Reflectionà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  instead.

After she bombed with “Reflection,” Randy said he was surprised that she didn’t chose a Rihanna song. Surprise, surprise.

Kara drooled the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Go home and make love to your fianceà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  line, it seemed to go downhill from there.

Oh God did she really say that? I seem to remember it vaguely but I’m not sure about it. LOL, Kara is such a tool.

Oh God did she really say that?

Yeah, after her audition. They were casting them from the beginning. I’m sure Alexis is supposed to be Poison Ivy or something.

Oh God did she really say that? I seem to remember it vaguely but Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m not sure about it. LOL, Kara is such a tool.

I like Kara but that was my least favorite moment of hers. Telling somebody to go have sex? She basically told the Alexis to come back dripping sleazy sex appeal. I was sitting there thinking “Why? The girl is a walking kewpie doll. She looks about 15 year old. What are y’all thinking???!!!” LOL. And the fact that it was a woman who told her to do it was even more confounding.

LMAO @ Poison Ivy!!!

I always think of Christina Aguilera when I watch Alexis perform – both tiny little pixies with GIANT voices.

I also agree that Lil reminds me much more of Latoya than Fantasia…and Adam does not for a second make me think of Daughtry.

The New York Daily news tells the final 11 to forget it is Opry week and just sing current country crap. A wise idol hopefullwill work with an older song and update it to be current, as that always works better than trying to sound like a current “hit.”

I also agree that Lil reminds me much more of Latoya than Fantasiaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦and Adam does not for a second make me think of Daughtry.

Yep, and if the producers really think that then they’re as tonedeaf as I’ve always suspected.

I don’t know if Lil has the it-factor to make it later rounds even if they are pushing her. Danny and Adam have something going for them (even if I totally don’t get their appeal.) Alexis has the vocal chops and I don’t get the “bitchy” vibe but apparently she’s not inspiring the same type of support as the top two guys or even Anoop.

Yay for the return of Ken Barnes!

Why, why, why do we believe every little thing posted on the internet? OK, let me think, what little thing can I post on my blog page that will use AI in the sentence so that it can be picked up by google and released to all who search the web? I’ll just say I talked to an Idol stage hand and they told me that the FINAL 4 are already predetermined and that votes don’t count and that ALL song choices are chosen by the producers, and that Allison is a card carrying lesbian, and that Danny Gokey is really the father of Alex’s baby and that Lil’s husband has filed divorce papers! Sorry….rant finished.

AI entertains me, it is my show of choice on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, I get way too vested in a Contestant but once they are booted off I just move on to one of the survivors. My life doesn’t change depending on who wins and only if I like the winner or runner-ups will I invest in downloads or albums or buying concert tickets. Nobody forces me to peruse the internet but I find it loads of fun…I love reading everyone’s comments and especially love reading all the conspiracy theories (at least they are better than the movie of same name).

The saddest day comes in late May when this is all over for 8 months. So, as always, I luvs me some Adam and can’t wait to hear him tonight. Also, I wonder how he would be doing if he had his own red hair, emphasized his freckles, and wore plaid shirts? Oh Opie, I loved you too!

The female à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“AIà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  worker told a à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“group of people that the last four are going to be Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Adam Lambert and Alexis Grace,à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  said our insider. Asked if this was opinion or actual fact, the staffer vehemently retorted, à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Those ARE the people,à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  saying it wasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t mere speculation.

I really, really hope this isn’t true. Out of those four contestants, Alexis is honestly the only one I can tolerate. I don’t get the Danny hype or the Adam hype, and I feel like there’s been a dozen Lil’s on this show already.

Here’s hoping Kris, Matt, or Allison can shake things up… *crosses fingers*

I always think of Christina Aguilera when I watch Alexis perform – both tiny little pixies with GIANT voices.

Me too, Kylene!

I take that NYDN final four article with a ginormous grain of salt.

Re: pre-chosen top 4 – never gonna happen. Every single year, someone totally unexpected at the top 12 level finishes in third place. It’s the AI anomaly. Nikki, Kimberly, Jasmine, Vonzelle, Elliott, Melinda, Syesha. With the exception of Melinda Doolittle, the surprise is that they made it that far/lasted that long. They were de-pimped, luke-warmed and frequently in the bottom 3.

That said, someone like Kris Allen or Anoop Desi has third place written all over him.

If the judges had had their way in the beginning maybe it would have been a Tamyra/Justin finale and no Kelly. We only just got through the Top 13, but by this time last year we already had Archie’s Imagine, Jason’s Halleluja, Brooke’s Let it Be, Cook’s Hello. Those were some pretty fantastic and memorable performances. Cook’s breakout (youtube) performance was Billie Jean, which was Top 10 night.

Sure, producers and judges can have a POV one which contestant might be marketable out of AI based on their studio recordings and vocal behind the scenes work with them. We, the voting and viewing audience, can only judge based on performances on stage. Maybe last year, the producers wanted the Davids, MJ, and Carly in their top 4, too bad the latters never stepped up though and didn’t have the fan support. But given the body of work, I do think the right top 4/5 were picked for season 7.

Given this new format, I’m not sure how much we have heard these AI8 contestants. But from what I’ve read there haven’t been any breakout or jaw dropping performances. So here’s hoping that someone will break out of the pack tonight and elevate this season to have a Kelly or Carrie or Chris Daughty “ah ha” moment. Right now, it’s a little too early to predict the top 4 because there are too many weeks left.

i dont believe a word of it.

anyway im excited for Carrie and Brad tomorrow!:)

If the judges had had their way in the beginning maybe it would have been a Tamyra/Justin finale and no Kelly.

Won’t make any difference even with the new rules. Tamyra went out on the Top 4. She was my favorite that year and it would have made me very happy to see her in the finale. She is to my mind one of the best singers ever to appear on AI.

Adam=Daughtry? Is somebody high? What a bunch of nuts.

I could buy these four as the top four. I think it’s been written in stone for Danny to win for quite awhile.

But what about Matt G? And Allison?

They arent good enough, and their fanbases arent big enough (YMMV)

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m going to do my best to change that; Kris, Matt, and Allison each have the potential to pull an upset.

I think Anoop has a chance as well :thumbup_tb:

That said, someone like Kris Allen or Anoop Desi has third place written all over him.

MTE. This is so true.

à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s too close in style and sound to Chris Daughtry, while Lil Rounds is a dead ringer for Fantasia. Even their background stories are similar!

WTF? Adam looks and sounds nothing like Chris Daughtry. And never mind that Chris didn’t win (or is that what an ‘A’ success is?)!

Why do I think this wacky female “staffer” is actually Simon Cowell? Didn’t he refer to his favorite last season as “Chris”? I could see a very superficial similarity between Adam and Cook, but not Adam and Daugtry.

Could these AI people be any more clueless or dismissive of the intelligence of the American public?

Lil a dead ringer for Fantasia? Because she is black and has short hair? Lil reminds me more of the forgettable Latoya. Now Adam actually reminds me a Fantasia, LOL! Love them both.

My Fox Phoenix news has a video up from David’s concert in Tempe. Starts at about :35 on the vid, its about 3minutes long. Show fans in line, clips from the concert, hearingit from outside, a girl with a tattoo, and they talk to Lesley briefly, tomorrow(or today, not sure) they are supposed to put up a vid of them talking to david.

“American Idol” runner-up David Archuleta is a changed man. Long gone is the tentative Boy Scout who seemed unsure of himself on the television show and during his subsequent North American tour with the rest of the Top 10 finalists. That outing, along with his current club jaunt–which hit Tempe, AZ’s Marquee Theatre on Monday (March 16)–have allowed him to come into his own as a performer.

At the Marquee show, Archuleta showed a new side, rocking to the chorus of “A Little Too Not Over You,” pointing at the audience of mostly pre-teen girls and bending down to shake hands with some of them. When the “American Idols Live” tour kicked off in Glendale, AZ, last summer, he merely stayed put, mostly behind a piano.

LOLOLOLOL! I didn’t read all the comments here, so I don’t know if someone else already saw this…on David Cook’s wiki page, at the bottom, it lists the previous winner of AI, David, then “succeeded by.” So it goes

Preivous winner Jordin Sparks
2008 David Cook
Succeeded by ADAM LAMBERT

BWHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA! I really did LOL! Someone take a snapshot of that for us!

All I know is I love Adam this year. I’ll vote for him if I’m watching! I hope he lives up to my expectations. hee. He’s fabulous.

I don’t know if this one has been posted before, but here’s a longer version of David Cook’s “Heroes” video for SEC Basketball Tournament –

Okay, that NYDN article brings the lolz. First of all, it’s no big secret that AI ear marks a handful of top contenders very early on, but it’s presented as this shocking bit of insider gossip. I mean, really, unless you are a total ostridge type, this is common knowledge. It’s not like they are subtle about it. And second, say you are anti-knoll and believe there’s no manipulation at all in involved, well, even then the producers also have to know who is leading the votes and have a decent idea who can make up the slack and who probably can’t, so it wouldn’t be shocking for them to conjecture about frontrunners and darkhorses at this point and be laying the foundation of a storyline arc for possible winners. And third, the producers have it in for Adam because he’s too DAUGHTRY? Bwaaaah! Ow, my side hurts from laughing. Maybe they missed the fact that Daughtry probably wouldn’t, you know, want to be caught dead wearing lipgloss or sparkly anything. Or that Adam never claimed to be a rocker. Or that Adam has hair. Hee.

Now Adam actually reminds me a Fantasia, LOL! Love them both.

This.

“Lil a dead ringer for Fantasia? Because she is black and has short hair? Lil reminds me more of the forgettable Latoya. Now Adam actually reminds me a Fantasia, LOL! Love them both.”

OMG i absolutely agree with you…Adam reminds me SO much of Fantasia. I’ve been thinking it for weeks hahahha i am glad I am not the only one who sees it. Even though i love Adam a little bit more than Fanny. Danny G. i don’t know how anyone can like a guy who pimps out his dead wife every week for Americas votes. I mean this is a singing competition, not how much i feel bad his wife died so let me vote for him and i feel the same way about the rest of them and their “sad sad” stories.

The new rules suck because if you aren’t “commercial” they aren’t going to save you anyways, like they would have REALLY saved frenchie, mandisaor the stripper dude. Maybe that A.I insider said those four names because it is the only one of the contestants name she remembers.

Oh my. I think Adam Lambert should aspire to be as good as Fantasia. Seriously.

Am I the only one who thinks that story about the “AI Insider” is total crap? That’s why I didn’t pull it out onto the front page. Maybe I should.

In other news

My wonderful commenters, you are all stars! .

“Idol” production company FremantleMedia and trading card publisher Upper Deck are launching a new line of trading cards featuring images of past and current contestants as well as the judges and host of the Fox singing competition. The 138-card line is set to debut April 21.

Oooh, btw, Ryan confirmed on Z100 that DA would be on Idol near the end of the season (aka, May, which DA already accidentally reported)… right before he announced ALTNOY was #1 on the Z100 noon countdown.

My wonderful commenters, you are all stars! .

Haha, congrats MJ!

Get your very own AI trading cards!

LOL. I actually saw a few sad packs of AI Season 3 trading cards collecting dust on a forgotten bottom shelf at my local Target a few weeks ago and wondered who the genius was who came up with that idea.

There have been trading cards for Seasons 3, 4 and 6 (season 6 were rare though), and maybe season 7 although those were probably unofficial.

The problem is when a lot of your favorites don’t make the finals (or even the semi-finals), you need to hope for a set of over 1,000 cards to accomodate those you like…

I am really glad to hear about Chikezie’s upcoming CD. I like him so much and just expect his album to be flat-out great.

My wonderful commenters, you are all stars! .

lol… Go Mj…

Regarding the fans voting for the ACM Entertainer of the Year — Congratulations, Carrie! (About time a woman wins it!)

GIRLFRIENDS Featured Female / 18 to 25 / Caucasian, Multi-Ethnic To play Kellyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s girlfriends. Great looking with tons of sex appeal and style. Will dance with Kelly on top of a bar like in à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Coyote Uglyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ . Dancing ability a plus. Fun and hip types.

This would be a HAWT video! I hope Kelly dances like what she did at the Walkaway video! :clap_tb:

DA plays a game (off air) with the DJs after yesterday’s long interview in Phoenix. And get’s an Elliot Yamin CD.

Yay for Carrie, Bucky, Chikezie, Gina, and my favorites, Phil and Melinda, . I am glad for Chikezie and an album. I loved his voice and thought he could have gone further in the competition. Loved that Phil’s voice was described as being “beautiful,” and his songs are so fitting for such occasions as this upcoming event described. He has done several charity events last year. Below is a pic with whom I believe is the president of the foundation, at another event he did for them. As far as that person blabbing about the top 4, Phil predicts Danny to be in the top 4, but I would rather not see Alexis, either. I don’t like what she did to her image. She has gone so far from that wholesome mom image that she had. I feel that what Kara told her was about as inappropriate as what Simon said to Kris about “hiding his wife,” or whatever he said. Well, since I got hooked to country, thanks to Phil, I’m curious to see how the performances go tonight.

mj, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but the pic I tried to post with my comment above is not showing up. If you can help it to show up, thanks so much. I will try and post the code again below.

Jason twittered about 45 minutes ago. He is at Archie’s concert (in California). Too cute.

^^^
