Idol Headlines for 09/10/09

Glee is taking over the charts after their fall season opener last night.

11 Take A Bow – Last Night
29 Don’t Stop Believin’ – Pilot
41 Gold Digger – Last Night
60 Can’t Fight This Feeling – Pilot
63 Push It – Last Night
100 On My Own – Pilot

75 Don’t Stop Believin’ – Original Recipe (Journey)

With Glee releasing songs each week, this might be a semi-window into the effects that AI has on the charts (that we aren’t allowed to see). Older songs get lifts from new episodes. I wonder if there were will be any correlation to who is featured each week (will their old solos get an extra boost?).

Anyway, with traction like this, Glee might give Carrie a run for her money come Nov 3rd.

David Archuleta’s xmas cd ‘Christmas From The Heart’ has an updated track list at walmart.com
It’s also available for preorder at walmart, best buy, amazon(been avail), barnes and noble, cd universe.

Track List(updated per walmart)
1. Joy To The World
2. Angels We Have Heard On High
3. O Come All Ye Faithful
4. Silent Night
5. First Noel
6. O Holy Night
7. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
8. I’ll Be Home For Christmas – Featuring Charice Pempengco
9. Pat A Pan
10. What A Child Is This
11. Riu Riu
12. Ave Maria
13. Melodies Of Christmas

As a result, he admitted, the Fab Four would have failed to get through the early stages in their orginal form.

And therein lies the problem with ticking boxes. Sometimes, music is more than a standard recipe.

Kind of ironically, Ringo was a last minute replacement for the original Beatles drummer because the record label didn’t think that he (original drummer, Pete Best) was good enough.

Uh, WTH with that Sturgis Journal author’s GIANT scary picture dwarfing the actual article? And how lame that you have to “subscribe” to read about the show’s final two and finale. Whatevs, buddy. Not that enamored with your laundry lists of the sets to deal with that.

nvm

Watched “Glee” I think that dance they did would create a firestorm at my high school back in the dark age..
Kristen–”Glee” planning on releasing a cd then?

I enjoyed Jason Castros new single …

Uh, WTH with that Sturgis Journal author’s GIANT scary picture dwarfing the actual article? And how lame that you have to ‘subscribe’  to read about the show’s final two and finale. Whatevs, buddy. Not that enamored with your laundry lists of the sets to deal with that.

I second that WTH!

And therein lies the problem with ticking boxes. Sometimes, music is more than a standard recipe.

Simon is so classy, isn’t he? Ringo Starr, like Taylor Hicks, is an easy mark. I suspect Simon would have passed on George Harrison too. Not enough “charisma” or some such BS. And John Lennon would have been “a little worthy” no doubt.

Third it, Squirrely. Just stupid. Considering that he liked everyone, I guess it doesn’t matter. He would like Adam and Kris, too.

I think Glee should include some Idol songs so they can chart on iTunes, maybe again.

From last night DC singing with Ryan Star on Ryan’s song “Breathe”. This is so, so gorgeous. And whoever screamed out ‘I love you David’ while Ryan was singing needed to be smacked hard. David looked pissed, too.

And a well written blog/concert recap that gives a nice peek into the little reunion last night.

Thanks, Trina – I had that link copied and was going to bring it over!

Here’s a nice new article about Cookie.

Thanks for the Allison interview. I bet she’s going to be an emotional mess for the last show, having to saw goodbye to everyone.

Simon is so classy, isn’t he? Ringo Starr, like Taylor Hicks, is an easy mark. I suspect Simon would have passed on George Harrison too. Not enough ‘charisma’  or some such BS.

Wasn’t Simon also the one who turned down the Spice Girls(although I;m definitely not comparing the Spice Girls with The Beatles, heaven forbid)? I think so far, Simon has been very lucky in his career to have reached this far and get paid for ridiculous amounts of money for very little talent or even musical knowhow (relatively speaking of course).

Kind of ironically, Ringo was a last minute replacement for the original Beatles drummer because the record label didn’t think that he (original drummer, Pete Best) was good enough.

John Lennon has been quoted as saying that Pete Best was a good drummer but not a good Beatle. In other words, he was replaced for his lack of personality. Ringo had no need to be a great drummer. In fact, I don’t believe that any of them were truly great musicians. What they had was unbelievable songwriting skills and a shitload of charisma. Simon, as he’s already proven, doesn’t know charisma unless it slaps him in the face.

ETA: Besides, Kyle Peek wasn’t born yet. He’d have made it on Simon’s show

Here’s a great radio interview with David Cook. He’s a natural at these, able to answer anything thrown at him with ease.

Wasn’t Simon also the one who turned down the Spice Girls(although I;m definitely not comparing the Spice Girls with The Beatles, heaven forbid)?

And didn’t he also turn down Mika? I think Simon makes good TV, he is entertaining, but for the rest? He’s on and off.

Thanks, Trina. That was awesome!

‘Idol’ winner Kris Allen: single out in 2 weeks, album ‘soft rock’; Megan Joy, Lil Rounds await news. Article Link

Hrrrrm. Soft rock. Hrrrm. It would be great if he could play the “soft rock” first track at the mix104.1 end of summer soiree. But only if I can get tickets. (j/k) If he does, we’ll all get to hear it!!!

MasterClass Lady blogs about Paula, David Archuleta, Adam Lambert, and Jason Castro…

Additionally, Paula Abdul will no longer act as a judge on American Idol. I’m not sure if I like this scenario, but, I suppose, time will tell. I just hope and pray that this season’s show will fare better than last ‘“ I am still shaking my head over the Season 8 fiasco!

I am very excited for David Archuleta’s Christmas album, ‘Christmas From The Heart’ , set to drop on October 13th, 2009. I can only imagine how wonderful and inspiring this CD will sound with David’s glorious voice and musical passion at the center of this recording.

And we cannot forget about Adam Lambert. His new CD should be ready for release soon but details weren’t available on Amazon.Com. His website is rocking though! Have a ‘look-see’!

And, it appears that Jason Castro has released a new song, ‘Let’s Just Fall In Love Again’. His fans are relentless in making certain that I have a ‘heads-up’  whenever talented Jason inches a step forward to his escalating career.

Happy is soooo boring. I haven’t listened to it till the end, it seriously bores me. Bet it’s gonna be a hit.

Listening to Mix and they are playing David Cook TOML – I don’t think I’ve ever heard it on the radio before….

Five more concerts from the tour…

September 10 Bridgeport, CT Arena at Harbor Yard
September 12 Portland, ME Cumberland County Civic Center
September 13 Providence, RI Dunkin’ Donuts Center
September 14 Syracuse, NY WarMemorial at OnCenter
September 15 Manchester, NH Verizon Wireless Arena

Can’t believe it has been two months since they first sang after the show. While I’m waiting for Adam, Kris and Allison’s new songs, I’m more curious about what’s next for Matt and Anoop. oh, and Danny and Michael too.

David is on KBIG (LA) now.
(When introducing they said Adam won season 8… ok ok)

I think I said this when it leaked but Happy is weaksauce. I think Michael Slezak had a point when he said it was the song that Whitney should have sang though.

Best lines from Glee last night:

1) Female student: “I don’t have a very strong gag reflex.” Teacher: “When you’re a little older, that will come in handy.”

2) That’s the most inappropriate thing I’ve seen in an educational environment since an elementary school production of “Hair”.

I swear I must be in touch with my feminine side. First, Lambert, now Glee.

Ditto. Just a weird hook to lure people into being subscribers, I guess. Not going there. I’ve read more than enough reviews without extra hassles, thanks.

LOL! I missed it – I have to catch a repeat or youtube

Thanks for the info. Frogcooke! Archie singing “Ave Maria”? I will die and go to heaven, for sure.

With all these CD’s being released that I want to buy (in particular, Adam and Archie), I better get a job rather than reading blogs!

Listening to Mix and they are playing David Cook TOML ‘“ I don’t think I’ve ever heard it on the radio before’ ¦.

They actually play it quite a lot, more than LO and CBTM (the latter rarely played). I like it *ducking*.

Happy=zzzzzz

Glad to hear that Kris is going soft rock. His voice fits that genre. Hopefully, we can have a teaser but it may be out a week from now. Guess he’ll sing it at the Ford mini-concert.

They actually play it quite a lot, more than LO and CBTM (the latter rarely played). I like it *ducking*.

LOL You two are probably talking about a different Mix. I believe Squirrely was talking about Boston’s Mix. It plays a lot of CBTM, not so much TOML.

Happy=zzzzzz

Big time. Is it another one by Ryan? He’s losing his touch.

Jason Castro had another concert the other day…debut a new song called “That’s what I’m here for” ..sounds like Bob Dylan.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrxRMuBMVp0

No, I was talking about mix104.1; we both live in Boston (or around Boston). I have heard ToML quite a bit on mix–in fact, it used to be one of those “identify mix by this artist/song” promos. But I don’t listen that much to it anymore, so maybe they do play CBTM more than LO. Of course, I’m listening primarily to win the Kris tickets.

I still wanna know what Kris means by “soft rock.” Is the Fray considered soft rock? Gavin DeGraw? Jason Mraz? One Republic? John Mayer? (Well, maybe he is.) Maybe, I just never put them in that category. Then again, I don’t put them in any category.

I would have to agree with Simon about Ringo. He in no way would be considered that good of a drummer, and his singing is not any better. I saw him in his solo concert at a small venue, and altho it was a good show, he was not anywhere as good as I expected. McCartney, on the other hand, played an excellent show at an arena, and his showmanship and charisma far exceeded Ringo.

Listening to Mix and they are playing David Cook TOML ‘“ I don’t think I’ve ever heard it on the radio before’ ¦.

On Monday I heard this at a random rest stop on the NJ Turnpike while on my way back to NY from Baltimore. My husband thought I was nuts when I staretd laughing at this song being on the radio.

Itunes 9 is now available for update and with it the new LP feature. It’s very cool. Check it out on your computers.

anovich, it actually made #6 on HAC radio back in August or so (IIRC). My husband and I were in the car listening on some random Sunday afternoon to Ryan Seacrest’s AT40 countdown when TOML came on and when Ryan said it was #6, my husband just kind of grimaced and said, “This made #6?? I mean, it’s an okay song I guess, but #6???” He’s a fan of Cook but even he was incredulous. Hee. I think the song even set some sort of record on Adult Contemporary radio — which is definitely it’s native habitat.

Oh, ok. CBTM is one of the most played there, that’s why I though you were talking about other Mix.

I think something like Cook’s CBTM is soft rock. But these days there isn’t much soft rock on top 40 radio.
Yeah, I’d include those in that category, Plain White T’s too, Kris’s label mate Nick Lachey…
In the end, I’d say it’s pop rock but less electric guitar driven, if that makes sense.

keel, I know the song has set all sorts of records, but it’s just so not what DC wants to do that I find it funny that over a year later it still seems to be getting airplay.

No, I was talking about mix104.1; we both live in Boston (or around Boston).

I listen to my ipod so much that I ignore the radio. I forgot how much I like this station, it has great variety.

David Cook is not soft rock imo. He’s closer to Daughtry who I do not consider soft rock either.

anovich, it actually made #6 on HAC radio back in August or so (IIRC).

Even funnier is it cracked Top 30 on Pop. Nothing funnier than turning on Z100 and hearing magic rainbow smack between Kanye West and Britney.

WPLJ which is pretty much the largest Hot AC station there is I keep on in my office so I get a good idea of what they play. Now David and Daughtry – I love my boys but you listen to that station long enough and you just might get sick of them. Every.single.song of theirs is played to death. Them along with The Fray, Nickelback and Kelly they play the snot out of. If Kris’ idea of soft rock is what I think he means he would probably fit in perfectly there.

Count me in as another who definitely enjoys hearing Cookie sing the Magic Rainbow song. Of course, I like his other stuff more, esp. live.

eta: another David Cook interview! It’s a good day.

Agree with this completely – but I also wouldn’t be surprised to hear Adam’s stuff get airplay on WPLJ. Not so sure about Allison

Ye!!!!!!! Kris’s single in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!

David Cook is not soft rock imo. He’s closer to Daughtry who I do not consider soft rock either.

I don’t think David is soft rock either. But I think CBTM is. LOL I just don’t believe that song represents him.
Also agree that Kris will most probably fit well on HAC. Of course we have yet to listen to his music, but yes, I think that could be his format.

Count me in as another who definitely enjoys hearing Cookie sing the Magic Rainbow song. Of course, I like his other stuff more, esp. live.

Me too. I bought it off itunes, I loved his live perfomance on the finale of it.

I swear I must be in touch with my feminine side. First, Lambert, now Glee.

Is it just me, or does Kurt look like Adam Lambert’s younger brother? LOL. I love the death glares he shoots at the clueless teacher who thinks he’s just hanging with the football team. Kid has great comedic timing.

Anyway, Glee is killing in the demos. It only got 7 million viewers on the overnights (which sounds dismal compared to AI…but most things do):

And I’m sure someone will declare the premiere of Glee a failure because it only got 7.136 million viewers, but with a 3.3/9 adults 18-49 rating and a 3.6/10 with adults 18-34, FOX will no doubt be dubbing this ‘Fall’s new hit’  before I even hit the ‘publish’  button. Glee destroyed America’s Got Talent in the demos. Though AGT had more viewers (9.69M) its 2.1/5 adults 18-49 rating and 1.5/4 adults 18-34 rating were relatively paltry. With adults 18-34 Glee won by more than 100% over AGT!

From FOX:
The season premiere of GLEE outperformed its series preview following American Idol on 5/19/09 by +9% in Adults 18-34 (3.6/10 vs. 3.3/10) and +26% in Women 18-34 (5.3/14 vs. 4.2/12). GLEE built upon its lead-in by +22% among Adults 18-49 (3.3/9 vs. 2.7/8), +24% among Adults 18-34 (3.6/10 vs. 2.9/9), +18% in Teens (2.0/7 vs. 1.7/6) and +12% in Total Viewers (7.3 vs. 6.5 Mil)

TV By the Numbers

It looks like Archie’s Christmas album will be released in France too because Amazon.fr has a page set up for it! One of the songs on the album, “Pat a Pan,” is a French song.

Count me in as another who definitely enjoys hearing Cookie sing the Magic Rainbow song. Of course, I like his other stuff more, esp. live.

Me too. I bought it off itunes, I loved his live perfomance on the finale of it.

Count me in too. Cook’s finale performance of that song brought tears to my eyes, such a beautiful and emotional television moment. That’s why I was let down by the “No Boundaries” moment this year, it was definitely not an emotional moment for me. Not because Kris won, but because he was so stunned and surrounded by people he wasn’t that particular close to in the closing moments of the show. I mean Jorge, really?? Katy should have been up there so much sooner.

Still love hearing Cookie’s song, takes me back to that moment.

I knew Adam should have been hanging on the girls bus. As per his latest Tweet, he has the ick they all have. Well they do have a day off tomorrow, I hope they all take care of themselves. So M&Gs unless necessary, no APs or barricades. Not the least of which is spreading germs is not cool.

Oh his actual Tweet:

Yuck. Everyones sick. Including me. singing’s no fun when u feel crappy, but imma do my best tonight Bridgeport.

Aww – they infected Adam. Damn them! Someone should have told him no kissing Kris while he’s sick…yes I’m tinhatting today.

I would have to agree with Simon about Ringo. He in no way would be considered that good of a drummer, and his singing is not any better. I saw him in his solo concert at a small venue, and altho it was a good show, he was not anywhere as good as I expected. McCartney, on the other hand, played an excellent show at an arena, and his showmanship and charisma far exceeded Ringo.

Oh, I don’t think you’ll get arguments from anybody that Ringo was in the same league as John, Paul or George; the point is that Simon Cowell would have passed on The Beatles (!) because of Ringo’s deficiencies. Nobody will ever convince me that Simon, without a boatload of 20:20 hindsight, has any great skill at identifying potential stars.

With regard to Kris, by “soft rock,” I’m guessing they mean “acoustic rock.” I prefer acoustic rock myself. As much as I love Cook, and was rooting for him from Hollywood Week on, it was his interpretation of “Little Sparrow” that turned me into a crazy fan.

I still hope, one of these days, DC starts doing some acoustic gigs and that he includes some acoustic numbers on his next release. I brought a friend to see him back in July, and she actually preferred Green River Ordinance to David and his band. She loves David’s voice, but she prefers acoustic rock and was bummed he did nothing unplugged. She’s a marketing professional and pointed out that he was most likely missing out on a huge potential market. I’m sure he knows that though. He is one smart cookie, so I have my fingers crossed for next time.

So am I right in thinking that Scott is the only healthy male idol tonight? That sucks for Bridgeport!

Not because Kris won, but because he was so stunned and surrounded by people he wasn’t that particular close to in the closing moments of the show. I mean Jorge, really?? Katy should have been up there so much sooner.

Adam, Allison and Matt should have been beside him.

I enjoyed Glee last night, particularly the rap, but I have to keep adjusting my sound. Some of the cast either talk low or their diction isn’t good or my ears are bad. I got so tickled at the title on that book on the shelf ” Now I Have a Hair Down There”. lol Its well written and the music is great, some of it a little ott but funny.

btw I love Carries new single.

OK Mix 104.1 is hurting my wallet – I have list of songs and albums I want to buy now.

mix in Boston plays an eclectic (get it? Ha ha) mix of music, but primarily:

Daughtry
Pink
Nickleback

You hear these artists at least once an hour

They also play:
Katy Perry
Kings of Leon
The Fray
Kevin Rudolph
Shinedown

And of course a lot of 90s and contemporary music (some 80s as well), from Wonderwall (playing now) to Crying (just heard it and was like, Adam!!!) to Sara Bareilles.

But since they play a fair amount of Cook, Kelly, Carrie, and Kris’s Heartless (they love them some Kris), I think Kris’s single will get lots of airplay (could also tie into their soiree). Now Adam’s single? I guess it depends on how it sounds. If it’s in the Lady GaGa vein, I think it *will* get airplay. I thought they would play Mad World, and they didn’t (maybe it didn’t get a real radio release?). But as far as dance rock (okay, I don’t know what Adam’s single will sound like)? Well, they really do tend to go in either the Jason Mraz or Nickleback direction, so I dunno. Allison could get *lots* of airplay.

I mention mix b/c they are HAC.

Is it just me, or does Kurt look like Adam Lambert’s younger brother? LOL. I love the death glares he shoots at the clueless teacher who thinks he’s just hanging with the football team. Kid has great comedic timing.

Kirsten, I noted the Kurt/Adam similarities in the headlines thread a day or two ago. Kurt IS Adam Lambert in high school, LOL.

I was howling at the brochures on Emma’s credenza. Actually had to freeze frame the recording so I could read them. “My Mom Is Bipolar and Screams All The Time” (or something to that effect) made me almost pee my pants. I could have used THAT one in high school!

I hate that their writers thinking caning and water boarding are fit topics for humor. Also hated the reference to the ‘Sophie’s Choice’  of which housing features to select. For people who are not familiar with the book/movie, Sophie’s choice was which of her children to send to execution in a concentration camp. I think using these references in humor will tend to make people forget how horendous these practices are.

I couldn’t disagree more. I love that kind of black humor. It does nothing to negate the horror of the real thing, IMHO.

“So M&Gs unless necessary, no APs or barricades. Not the least of which is speading germs is not cool.”

-Yes, it seems to be viral since everyone in the bus is sick. Unsolicited advice: Skip the m&g (fans will understand), give the best peformance they can since the people who bought the tickets are there to watch them perform. AP and M&G are just added bonus.

I hope they all take care of themselves. So M&Gs unless necessary, no APs or barricades.

Maybe the “sickness” is a huge Idol driven conspiracy so that they all can fore go the remaining barricades and after show signings. I’d think that the “show” itself has been fun but that the Idols won’t miss the endless trite interviews and all the ruckus with the M&Gs and the barricade signings.

I know, I know the fans love that part and it is an idol “duty” to carry on the tradition and yes they have all been sweethearts about it and have usually put their best face forward…but geesh enough is enough.

And, when they move on to solo careers then they can feel more “in-tune” with the fan interaction because it will be directly between them and fans who “like them best” .

Five more AI shows and then I can sit back and watch the future unfurl. That is going to be quite a ride.

Count me in too. Cook’s finale performance of that song brought tears to my eyes, such a beautiful and emotional television moment. That’s why I was let down by the ‘No Boundaries’  moment this year, it was definitely not an emotional moment for me.

A couple of weeks ago I watched their winning moments back to back. It was glaring to say the least . One of the moments that made his win so touching was how he kept pulling Archie close to him. This year I didn’t feel all warm and fuzzy with Jorge trying to get in the camera shots. and Simon, Paula and Randy never once sat down..they stood the entire time; Paula was bouncing, Simon kept clapping and beaming. This year they sat pretty fast. It was just void of a special feeling and I like Kris. No Boundaries being total crap didn’t help matters.

I got so tickled at the title on that book on the shelf ‘  Now I Have a Hair Down There

Wasn’t it “Wow! There is hair down there!” or something. LOL. I also loved “My Mom’s Bipolar and she won’t stop YELLING” mixed in with “RADON: The Silent Killer”. Quite the set of pamphlets that guidance counsellor has.

For people who are not familiar with the book/movie, Sophie’s choice was which of her children to send to execution in a concentration camp. I think using these references in humor will tend to make people forget how horendous these practices are.

Well, I think they are doing it to point out how clueless/shallow the speaker is, so if anything, people would tend to think those things are more serious. Plus, I think people joke about terrible things all the time. Besides, “Sophie’s Choice” is fiction (and while I felt dreadful for the Sophie character, I despised the narrator). I don’t think fictional stories get the same sacrosanct consideration as real life things like waterboarding and “a Sophie’s Choice” has entered the lexicon as a metaphore for difficult choices.

I cried when David won because of his family’s reaction and his reaction, that was a great finale moment.

With regard to Kris, by ‘soft rock,’  I’m guessing they mean ‘acoustic rock.’  I prefer acoustic rock myself. As much as I love Cook, and was rooting for him from Hollywood Week on, it was his interpretation of ‘Little Sparrow’  that turned me into a crazy fan.

I don’t think soft rock mean acoustic rock, I think it means stuff like Matchbox 20 and that ilk. Not unplugged stuff, but not hard driving beats or electric guitars, but still having some of each of them on it. Kris has said that his album will be a combination of pop/soft rock and some singer/songwriter. I expect more acoustic sounds from singer/songerwriter, actually. But maybe that’s just me.

Yep, I cried when Cook won, too (as he cried and Adam cried and his mom cried). And he sounded really good singing ToML, whereas Kris singing NoBo…did not. But how could he?! I wish he hadn’t looked so shell-shocked (tho that’s Kris), that Simon hadn’t been such a prick, and that Kris had, as noted, stood next to Adam, Allison, and Danny (and Katy) while he sang. WTF was Jorge doing next to him? Dude, you are SO not relevant. Alexis, OTOH…it was nice to see her.

Cook’s winning moment, as well as the moments leading up to the announcement, are my favorite as well.

The moments leading up to the announcement while Ryan was stringing them along to milk the drama, Archie looked so serene and peaceful, while Cook was jiggling his microphone in one hand, while leaning on Archie on this other side. He kept shaking his head as if he were trying to roll the marbles in place, looking up heavenward and closing his eyes. I swear if Archie hadn’t been propping him up, I thought he was going to pass out…. And David said he didn’t care who won and was ready for the winner to be Archie. Heh!

As for afterwards, Simon and Paula hugging like proud parents. It was pretty cute. Simon also saluted Cook with his Coke cup.

I cried when David won because of his family’s reaction and his reaction, that was a great finale moment.

At the very end, I love when Andrew mouthed, “that’s my brother!”

This is the best part of Adam’s Tweet/Facebook post:

We LIKE that you’re sick! (screencapture)

Haters? Or blind devotion? “Master is sick! We like sick! We want to be sick, too!”

Just finished watching Glee and the previews for the rest of the season, which I ‘taped’  last night. I love the kids singing and their interactions with their coach.

I hate that their writers thinking caning and water boarding are fit topics for humor. Also hated the reference to the ‘Sophie’s Choice’  of which housing features to select. For people who are not familiar with the book/movie, Sophie’s choice was which of her children to send to execution in a concentration camp. I think using these references in humor will tend to make people forget how horendous these practices are.

In addition, many of the characters are also so over the top that I find them thoroughly annoying. I am thinking I will tape the show and watch the kids routines.

This is the best part of Adam’s Tweet/Facebook post:

We LIKE that you’re sick! (screencapture)

Haters? Or blind devotion? ‘Master is sick! We like sick! We want to be sick, too!’ 

I don’t get it. Someone responded to Adam that they like him being sick?

Haters? Or blind devotion? ‘Master is sick! We like sick! We want to be sick, too!’ 

Either haters or people just happy to see a tweet – either way it’s a bit odd.

Slezak’s twitter response to Adam’s tweet about being sick:

“You’ve been sneezin’
Maybe even wheezin’
A spoonful of DayQuil
You’d find pleasin’”

Funny!

You all are gonna make me cry just thinking about that wonderful moment when David Cook won Season 7. It was unforgettable!!

We LIKE that you’re sick! (screencapture)
Haters? Or blind devotion? ‘Master is sick! We like sick! We want to be sick, too!’ 

Adam refers to things he likes as “sick” (e.g. “Muse’s new song is siiick!!!”), so maybe it was meant in the same way???

Or, maybe it was just a garden variety hater. I prefer to think it is the former — just a play on the word “sick”.

No, no one said that. That was just my joke about the misuse of Facebook’s “Like” feature. I’m sure that Squirrely’s assertion is right — they just like hearing from him — but it just looked funny to me. Then again, I’m demented.

John Lennon has been quoted as saying that Pete Best was a good drummer but not a good Beatle. In other words, he was replaced for his lack of personality. Ringo had no need to be a great drummer. In fact, I don’t believe that any of them were truly great musicians. What they had was unbelievable songwriting skills and a shitload of charisma.

Although I’d argue that Paul is one of the great rock n roll bass players, I’d agree with your post.

And while Ringo was not a great drummer, he had a very distinctive style. The Beatles would not have been the same without him. There’s no replacing Ringo.

No, no one said that. That was just my joke about the misuse of Facebook’s ‘Like’  feature. I’m sure that Squirrely’s assertion is right ‘” they just like hearing from him ‘” but it just looked funny to me. Then again, I’m demented.

That’s what I figured, but then again I’m demented too. Adam doesn’t tweet all that much, so I think they were excited about the tweet.

Vorona, thanks for cleaing that up. Granted Gokey gets more negative comments, but when Adam gets them, they are really, really cruel. So, my defensive nature was alerted.

Cook’s winning moment, as well as the moments leading up to the announcement, are my favorite as well.

I love all the winning moments! I am a sap. Something about watching people when they are sssooo overwhelmed. To me, that’s as genuine as you are going to see people on AI. I don’t think its is possible to fake it in that moment.

I loooveee Kelly and Justin’s embrace, and her total shock accompanied with the zombie look in her face. LOL. I looovveee Fanny’s palable joy and relief, you could just see her thinking “I can provide for my daughter now.. thank god!” I lllooovveee Taylor’s look of vindication, like his whole life’s work had just been affirmed. And it was Cookie’s winning moment that made me follow him after the sow. I liked him anyway, but he was the first person I’d seen who’s first impulse was about everyone else, not just him. Before he had come across as a nice guy but I wasn’t sure how much of that was just for show. After that, I knew that was who he truly was.

Kris – I mean “Adam deserves this” and his WTF?!!! face says everything you need to know about Kris. LOL. I think he knows he’s got talent, but he never expects the spotlight. I wonder if he knows how much he deserved his win. I definitely want to see where he goes from here.

No problem. My sister calls me The Second Coming of Phoebe Buffay, but, in less kindly terms, I am just random and vague. That would indeed suck if someone said what I said in any kind of seriousness.

Kris’s winning moment would have been better with his friends around him – Adam, Allison, Matt – possibly even Anoop or Danny would have been better. What’s funny is if I recall correctly at one point he seemed to shake off Jorge in the middle of his song too. Also I wish they would have gotten Katy and his brother Daniel (the reason he tried out) or maybe his dad up there with him. It might have helped him get passed the crazy shock.

But this is old news now. So sad that all the guys are sick at the end of the tour – you kind of want them to go out with a bang next week but that might not be so easy if they’re all sick. I think the only ones who haven’t said theya re at this point are Scott and Danny.

ETA: tinawina sums up my view of hte winning moments perfectly – I also really loved when Blake picked Jordin up when she won (especially since she’s bigger then him, hee.)

Has this been posted? Michael Sarver interview:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WMjIqBjGgk

He’s recording a country album, (he didn’t mention getting signed, though), and at the end, says that the coolest person that he has met is Adam, “as far as teaching me the most”, who has taught him about character and accepting people. Seems very sincere.

To who mentioned it before.. Riu Riu Chiu is a spanish song, not french.

Is it Mavid, or isn’t it? You be the judge!

Whew, late to the party!

I still hope, one of these days, DC starts doing some acoustic gigs and that he includes some acoustic numbers on his next release.

Me too! I *love* him acoustic. Well, I love him not acoustic too, but acoustic is amazing. Sometimes I just want to hear the voice. (THE VOICE?)

I loved the video of David singing w/Ryan on Breathe – thanks for bringing that over. Ryan opened for David at the first show I went to and I really enjoyed him. Gotta watch more videos… can’t believe he still sounds this good this far into the tour.

You all are gonna make me cry just thinking about that wonderful moment when David Cook won Season 7. It was unforgettable!!

Don’t wanna admit how many times I’ve gone back and watched that… it was a beautiful moment. I acted like a blubbering idiot, I was so sure he wasn’t going to win and I wanted him to so badly (and he looked so *weary*)… I was bouncing around yelling and all teary-eyed and I am *not* a real… demonstrative (?) person. So hubby thought that I’d lost my marbles. Maybe I did, since I’m still following the guy over a year later???

In fact, I don’t believe that any of them were truly great musicians. What they had was unbelievable songwriting skills and a shitload of charisma

Hmm, considering the continuing popularity of the Beatles’ recordings 40+ years after they were originally made, I think you might be selling their singing ability and musicianship a bit short. Were they the best musicians of their time? No, but they definitely had a high degree of talent, IMO. And they also had the good fortune to work with a great producer, George Martin, who was instrumental in making the Beatles’ recordings as memorable as they are.

I hope he is sincere and not doing damage control knowing that Adam is becoming a superstar. He has mentioned Adam numerous times. At worst, he could have been a homophobe (and ignorant about gays), and getting to know Adam, he learned that not only is Adam a “normal” and “regular” guy, but an awesome one at that.

Itunes 9 is now available for update and with it the new LP feature. It’s very cool. Check it out on your computers.

Just went to iTunes to pre-order the Muse album (which I can’t wait to blast on my stereo next week)!

On the pre-order for the Muse LP feature, it includes special artwork, photos, lyrics, behind the scenes videos on the making of, a live performance and more…

I’m really excited if I could get all this and more from downloading my Adam Lambert LP in November! That would be siiiiiiiick!

That’s a great added feature to get people to buy the LP from iTunes instead of an actual CD from Best Buy and Target!

I hope he is sincere and not doing damage control knowing that Adam is becoming a superstar.

I would say that Michael has a good acting career ahead of him if he’s not sincere. I haven’t forgotten the, (at best), inappropriate comments he made earlier, but I’m guessing that he really has grown as a person while on the tour. I hope so.

This is an Adam interview with the same guy Michael interviewed with.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6WLD3izzE8

Is it Mavid, or isn’t it? You be the judge!

ROTFL! OMG that is hilarious! That does sound like Michael. I love the deadpan reaction David has on his face. An acquaintance who got to go to the afterparty said both 19 and RCA folks were there so I’m guessing that’s why there were no Mavid or Crash Kings hijinks. Some tweets from Michael and the girls:

@Mjohnsmusic Cook n the boys put on a great show. Hung with Dave for 20mins caught up I’m proud if his success catch his show if his in ur area

It sounds like Adam got some great guidance behind the scenes when picking his songs each week. I wonder why some of the others failed to get good guidance. Even putting aside Danny’s “Scream On”, (surely they would have suggested to Danny that Dream On was NOT the song for him), did some of the others not ask for help, or did they not get the right help?

I enjoyed Glee last night, particularly the rap, but I have to keep adjusting my sound. Some of the cast either talk low or their diction isn’t good or my ears are bad. I got so tickled at the title on that book on the shelf ‘  Now I Have a Hair Down There’ . lol Its well written and the music is great, some of it a little ott but funny.

btw I love Carries new single.

LOL! I didn’t notice all of those last night, so I’m watching it back on HULU and wrote them all down:

1) Ouch! That Stings!
2) Divorce: Why Your Parents Stopped Loving You
3) I Can’t Stop Touching Myself
4) My Mom’s BiPolar & Won’t Stop Yelling!
5) Wow! There’s A Hair Down There
6) So, You Like Throwing Up

LOLOLOL!

Hmm, considering the continuing popularity of the Beatles’ recordings 40+ years after they were originally made, I think you might be selling their singing ability and musicianship a bit short.

They’ve lasted this long for good reason, and with the just-released box sets sold out everywhere, they’re clearly still top sellers. They got a chance to really expand their sound, (from 2 guitars, 1 bass, and drums, to sitars, and very innovative recording techniques at the time, and so on), and their impact on the music scene will always be present. Not that I’m a fan or anything. LOL. OK, the Beatles were my first love.

I’ve amused myself with the thought of various music icons trying out for AI, and guessing at what Simon’s reaction would be. Obviously, people like Bob Dylan would have been kicked out the door faster than you can blink. And, now Simon tells us that he would have turned down the Beatles, too. OK, then. No need to listen to Simon’s opinion. Unless the music scene has really changed that much — and maybe that’s true. The young version of Bob Dylan might not do so well if he was trying to just get started these days.

I got through to the radio station, didn’t win, but the DJ was really nice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6WLD3izzE8

I love how excited Adam gets when he talks about his upcoming CD. He really lights up.

Yes!

I wanna see Adam’s “epic” and “glam” record cover!

You got through to the record station and the djay was nice? I got through (caller blah) and got hung up on.

To who mentioned it before.. Riu Riu Chiu is a spanish song, not french.

Oh, I’m sorry. So “Pat A Pan” must be the French song. I always get those two mixed up. “Riu Riu Chiu” does not look like Spanish words to me and “Pat A Pan” doesn’t seem very French-y either.

Even putting aside Danny’s ‘Scream On’ , (surely they would have suggested to Danny that Dream On was NOT the song for him), did some of the others not ask for help, or did they not get the right help?

Dorian Holly and Michael Orland didn’t just work with Adam — they worked with other contestants, too. All of the contestants had access to the same types of help and guidance that Adam did. I’m assuming that some of the contestants ignored the advice they got.

The DDD Music Forum has also talked about Adam’s new song. I posted the link in the other thread.

The USA Today article about the Top 3 mentioned the vocal coaches they worked with. I think Kris and Adam had the same ones but that Danny was working with some of the others. But you would hope that all the coaches working for AI are of similar caliber. Plus they all ultimately had the time to work with Ricky Minor and the band as well which should have helped them.

David Cook’s winning moment……..My all time favorite Idol moment ever!!
I’ve watched it a gazillion times and it gets the tears flowing each time.

Me too, Barbariba, me too. Such a great moment, & the tears flow again when I rewatch it. Doesn’t get old.

Adam said in an interview he cut out the middle man and got Ricky minor’s number so he could work with him directly. I wonder if the other took that initiative?

ETA: David’s was #1 then Fantasia’s she made me cry too. Season 8 made me cry but for other reason’s

I wonder how it would have been if Adam had won, or if Kris’ reaction was different

ETAA: The trash can button is cool – I like how the post disappears.

A few more tweets post AI7 reunion, to add the Trina’s collection:
CarlySmithson: High Five to @realbrookewhite who channeled her inner Moses and parted the crowed . Thanks to all the fans that helped us get to the front
ramielemalubay: @CarlySmithson lol her inner moses!
ramielemalubay: @carlysmithson lov yah for holding me up at the concert haha
CarlySmithson: @ramielemalubay Dodo Malubie Anytime !!!

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Carly is hilarious– Brooke as Moses, lol. I loved reading about Brooke taking charge and getting the girls to the front, the fans “parting like the red sea” to make room for the idols, and the girls rocking out and singing along. Brookie and Cookie, haha. She is such a little fangirl, and so supportive– never thought nice docile Brooke would be the one to take charge and get everyone up front. LOVE IT. They are such a great Idol family. Now I’m all sappy, what with you guys talking about Cook’s winning moment… aww, miss Archie!

I have to say, the only winning moments I’ve seen are DC’s and Kris’, and Kris’ was soo meh. And I actually preferred him to Adam! It really made me feel like Adam should’ve won (hmm, still kinda think that). But I was way less invested in S8 in general. The only moment that whole season that made me tear up was when Matt was saved and the Idols were going nuts and he started crying. I’m biased cuz I love Matt, but that moment was way more touching haha.

Man, I’m gonna have to start skimming all the Glee comments cuz I missed it! So excited for it though…

I would rank Kris and David’s wins as pretty equal – David because he cried and I wasn’t sure I expected him too and Kris b/c he was the underdog and for him it was such a WTF moment. I didn’t feel as emotionally attached to any of the others but I missed Season 3 while living in Europe, but from what I did see I wasn’t so into Fantasia so it probably wouldn’t have had that emotional punch to it.

Well if everyone is sick in their stomack, that’s good becasue it goes away pretty fast and it doesn’t affect the voice as much as a cold or flu.

sma11ie: never thought nice docile Brooke would be the one to take charge and get everyone up front. LOVE IT.

Well, I love seeing Tough Brookie. I love her, and for her sake, I hope she’s toughened up a lot since AI so she can survive this industry. I enjoyed her interview with Lyndsey Parker, and she seems to have a lot of resolve and confidence, so go Brooke! Btw, anyone know where to get her CD? I know she put a lot of work into the artwork, etc., and want to get copy of the real CD with the liner, etc. I didn’t see it when I was at a Target recently… though I guess I didn’t look very hard… and I can probably order it from Amazon haha.

That was lovely Michael Sarver.

I thought Kris’ reaction to winning was a great moment, since he was so shocked and Adam was genuinely happy for him. But where it falls down was that instead of him being surrounded by Adam, Allison and Matt — or having Katy up there with him right away, he’s next to…Jorge???? That just took away from the feeling. Someone should have shoved Jorge out of the way!

I’m really excited if I could get all this and more from downloading my Adam Lambert LP in November! That would be siiiiiiiick!

Muse will be the first album to carry the new Itunes LP format. There’s an announcement on their site as to the First status.

The theory is however, that all albums released from end of September on, will carry the new format. So, WOOHOO, for and Adam Itunes LP!!!!

Yeah, and if those people say there isn’t alot of hate/homophobia about Adam out there, look at the comments on that article. Better yet, don’t. They’re disgusting.

OH! So THAT’s who follows/reads Perez. I’ve been trying to figure that one out. They’re such abyss-dwelling bottom feeders they make him look pseudo human(ish) by comparison.

Adam said in an interview he cut out the middle man and got Ricky minor’s number so he could work with him directly. I wonder if the other took that initiative?

Ricky Minor said in the LA Times round table that they all had his number, and that Adam used it the most. And if I remember correctly, he said that Adam had similar levels of proactive involvement with other members of the production crew (like the lighting people) so he/they could figure out how best to do his set.

You should see how they talk to Perez. No wonder he’s so damn angry, he should take it out on the idiots that post there. I would like to add I try to stay off that site but i was pretty bored today. TMZ posters are just as bad.

And I agree Cindy- people are so naive when it comes to homophobia in this country. It’s alive and well.

Nice pic of Adam though.

I thought Kris’s winning moment was nice. He looked surprised like Cook did and a bit overwhelmed. It was cute seeing him and Adam embrace and Allison shove Adam back on the stage. I loved the way Kris took his wife Katy’s face in his hands and kissed her. It was such a touching moment you could feel their love. It would have been nice to have Adam next to Kris on the stage in a way, but honestly it was Kris’s time for the spotlight.

Well he didn’t quite say “yucky,” he said “yuck,” though: “Yuck. Everyones sick. Including me. singing’s no fun when u feel crappy, but imma do my best tonight Bridgeport.”

There is still a genuinely dork part of Adam that exists. It probably emerged with his Fierce system being compromised by his being sick.
