American Idol Backstage Scoop: Why Did the Audience Boo Katy Perry’s Performance? – While waiting to find out who was going to leave the Idol stage, the audience was getting beyond pumped for Katy Perry to perform. Screaming, squealing and excited chatter was bouncing off the walls. The stage manager and audience coordinator refused to let the crowd in on the secret that the performance was actually pretaped. They kept teasing by saying, “Should we tell them? Do you want to tell them? OK, let’s just let it be a surprise.” That “surprise” was nothing but massive disappointment for Katy fans, who began boo-ing the stage and being very vocal about their disapproval of only seeing a pretaped performance. We have to agree with the audience that it was one big Booooo! – Read more at EOnline

When a Pop Star Comes to School… – For one ecstatic hour last Monday, the Robert Frost Middle School gym in Granada Hills was transformed into a rock venue, packed with hundreds of screaming music fans who had voted madly on Facebook for a month to make this day happen. “They said I should talk to you about why music matters to me,” Season 8 American Idol Winner Kris Allen told the awe-struck students, as he took the stage. Allen visited Frost last Monday to kick off the Starburst Music with the Masters series. Starburst is donating $250,000 to VH1 Save the Music Foundation, a organization dedicated to restoring instrumental music programs in public schools across the country. – Read more at Galatzan Gazette

    IMO, his priorities, after the failure of TLM to connect to anyone much outside of his base, would be to now try to expand his audience past said base.  Those little things like appearance, image – even the perception of him chewing tobacco instead of gum from a noninvested casual observers POV, for someone in his position I’d think would be important. Seems like his label and invested fans keep trying to sell or think of him in more ‘rock’ terms and attitude (it’s all about the MUSIC man, don’t give a eff bout anything else). IMO David still swims in the POP music pond – and POP is all about the image, the way you look can make a big difference, but we see lately that he doesn’t think that’s important, lol… *SHRUGS* His choice. Maybe he’ll try country on for size… he’s got the ‘chawin’ down pat, but they seem to be getting more image conscious lately :)

    “After playing the rodeo, maybe he’ll try/is thinking of trying country on for size..”

    *chuckle* Well, klimat, after playing the rodeo in Fresno – DavidC is trying Tiger Jam on for size tomorrow night at Mandalay Bay in Vegas, with John Bon Jovi. I have no idea what he will wear, sorry. No doubt, something appropriate to the occasion, as he always does.

    But I can report back – since you were so sweet, and gave me that opening to mention the gig. *wink*

    I enjoyed Constantine’s review of the Idol’s performances.  Maybe having met him makes me like him more, but I really liked seeing this, especially since I don’t get the FUSE network.

    But rather less important than losing control over one’s voice because one’ throat is drying out, no?

    As for image, have you seen Jason Mraz or Andy Grammer lately?

    I’m jealous of all Carrie’s promos, now if only RCA will send Kris to more radio promo. :(
