Idol Headlines for 10/10/09

Sweating and palpatations was just the beginning…I’m dying over here!

A couple of songs from David Archuleta’s Christmas album have leaked – you can listen here.

Archie’s version of ‘Ave Maria’ is to die for. That glory note!

David Cook “crowd surfing” at his concert last night
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqbRfHJ5StQ

MJ, too bad you’re weren’t front row at David Cook’s concert in Clifton Park last night. You would have died. Check out Cook in the crowd doing a backbend during “Kiss On the Neck”. It starts at around 3:20 and “climaxes” at around 4:00. (Hee, hee, nice choice of words don’t you think, heh.)

wellhesback, we think alike.

Thank you, leeann, for the link. You are so right. It is to die for! I love the soft acoustic guitar and, of course, the boys choir in the background is the icing on the cake. It is goose.pimple.inducing. I really like the other two songs too. Charice sounded gorgeous on her duet.

First thing I thought to myself after watching that..no wonder someone fainted last night! Holy crap boy was someone feeling better. DAYUM. Some friend of Archie’s was at the show, Eli I think?

I like the Xmas duet with Charice. I really loved Archie his season but his album and post Idol career have kind of turned me off. The Spanish song he did brought me back on the fan bandwagon. I’m not sure I’ll love his take on all the Xmas music but his vocals are still terrific.

It’s always such a turn off when they do the great songs on Idol and then put out such generic crap afterwards. It kind of turns me off to the whole thing. But then they find great voices like Archie and that kind of keeps you interested.

I’m probably the only one here looking forward to Gokey’s single. If his producer can get him anything close to JTTW, I’m going to really love it.

I’m liking Blake Lewis’ cd, very dancy

I went to bed so I didn’t follow this concert. Someone fainted?

I was perusing that “So You Think You Can Dance” article and finally found out what the winner gets: $250,000. Do they get anything else? I never could figure out what the end game was for that show. AI is pretty obvious. You actually have winners and runners up who have done pretty damn well for themselves, mostly *with* music careers, but I’ve never heard about “Dance” winners. Have any of them broken out into mainstream consciousness and gotten beyond the reality bubble? I don’t think dancers have the same cache in mainstream, popular culture or maybe I’m totally ignorant of it.

Moved to new posting.

I went to bed so I didn’t follow this concert. Someone fainted?

Yes, a woman fainted. The crazy thing is that she was the one doing the cellcast, so it was halted (the cellcast that is) for a while until another person could be contacted.

Getting a better job seems to be the jist of it- better opportunities.

Several of the SYTYCD “kids” are now pros on DWTS (Chelsea, Lacey, Dimitri), and others (Pasha, Anya) are working with (or as) choreographers on the various dance shows.
Broadway and off Broadway gigs are important too- anything that pays the bills. Name recognition can be a big deal in casting.

It is also about getting your name out there to the general public so as to become a more in demand instructor who can charge more for lessons.

O-o-okay. That’s kind of funny. I’m guessing she’s fine now? Was it stuffy in that place or was she overcome by the crowd near the stage? I did notice that Kyle seemed to have a wind machine back near his drum set because even when he wasn’t moving his head, his hair was flying all over the place.

(For the record, a rep for Adam’s label says ‘Time for Miracles’  won’t be the lead single from Adam’s forthcoming debut disc; a decision on which track they’ll ultimately choose will be made in the next couple of weeks.)

and last night I wa listening to fresh 94.7(in the d.c.area…) and thy said something about on their website VIP Brooke white something like that idk.wasn’t rrly listening even though she was my fave last yr.then they played a version of radio radio that they said she recorded just for them….I think….

I am definitely looking forward to Danny’s single. I think that if he can get at least a decent song, and decent promotion, he will be fine. And I believe that he will sing the heck out of whatever songs he will be singing.

On Time for Miracles trending all of last night and #1 this morning, maybe this chinese website added to the publicity and thus aided the twitter trend last night? They feature Adam’s Time for Miracles video on the home page of the site, with an article about him via a link.

http://tv.huo360.com/ – homepage

http://tv.huo360.com/article/2009/10/10/24617.html – Adam article

If I had time, I’d use the google translate to read some of the comments..lol.

From Slezak’s article, the same quote it was also posted on Ryan’s site yesterday.

For the record, a rep for Adam’s label says ‘Time for Miracles’  won’t be the lead single from Adam’s forthcoming debut disc; a decision on which track they’ll ultimately choose will be made in the next couple of weeks.

Someone needs to explain to me what that means, cause according to my math, it means the single wont be released until the 26th/10. That can’t be right, can it?

WUT!??? y’all are scaring me…..:0

seriously,is there going to be an album or not???!!

Oh, there will be an album. Labels want to make money after all and I’m sure they are thinking Adam can make them a pretty penny!

Okay, Cook, are you still on the meds and just decided to lay back in the audience and take a nap?

Might be drugs or he took notes at Springsteens show His middle of the night tweet he said “sweetest of dreams” (when has he ever said anything like that? lol), and Ryan Star tweeted something about David punching him below the belt. I had wondered if he was either heavily medicated or just wired from being back with his boys..

“I’m probably the only one here looking forward to Gokey’s single.”

Count me in as well. I think Gokey is this season’s Daughtry (big fanbase who was surprised when he was voted off and just waiting to buy his cd in droves). Don’t get me wrong; I don’t think he’s going to be anywhere near as successful as Daughtry (no one from this season will, I think) but of all the S8 idols I think he is the most likely to be a ‘surprise success’. I’m very interested to hear his single.

Where’s the link to the Blake interview? I don’t see it. I think his new album is excellent, by the way. Even though pop music isn’t my thing, I do love that 80′s vibe and I think a lot of his songs are catchy enough to get some radio play if he can get enough attention with the new album. I hope he gets a second shot at it.

Oh and ‘Joseph… Dreamcoat’ is one of my favorite musicals. I remember Anthony Federov from season 4, glad he’s getting the starring role.

Someone needs to explain to me what that means, cause according to my math, it means the single wont be released until the 26th/10. That can’t be right, can it?

I don’t think Slezak knows anymore than the rest of the press. I get the impression that Adam and RCA are not going to be in constant contact with Slezak and Jim C. I don’t think S&J will be getting the information first or interview exclusives. Those media channels seem favored more by Jive.
However, if TFM is released this Friday-RCA may be waiting a couple of weeks to release the single. You know, stagger the awesomeness of the Adamstorm. (insert smiley w/umbrella)

ETA: Most are about Adam and the song sample, of course.

I noticed in this video that David talks about playing songs that they are working on “maybe down the line” I am thinking we will be getting some new David Cook songs before this tour is over.

Ryan Seacrest’s site picked that quote up directly from the EW article.

A short teaser of American Idol runner up Adam Lambert’s ‘Time for Miracles,’  a cut from the upcoming 2012 soundtrack, has now hit the web, and it sounds like it has the potential to be a power-ballad smash. Though a hit-in-the-making, a rep for Adam’s label says ‘Time for Miracles’  won’t be the lead single from Adam’s forthcoming debut disc; a decision on which track they’ll ultimately choose will be made in the next couple of weeks.

VIA EW

For a couple of months Adam has said his album single would be out in the middle of October — my bet is still on 10/19/09.

Is it just me or is anyone else worried about the timing of the release of Adam’s single? IF it’s released on 10/19, the most exposure he’s going to get before his album drops on 11/24 is 5 weeks and by exposure I mean, airplay time on the radio, publicity about it, people’s reactions, etc. Kris and Alison both are getting 2 MONTHS exposure before their albums drop. This really concerns me. Did RCA/Sony screw this up for Adam?

MJ, I would be interested in your opinion on this, too. Thanks everyone.

‘I’m probably the only one here looking forward to Gokey’s single.’ 

No, actually I’m interested in what Danny puts out. I think that he has the 2nd best voice from S8 if he learns to use it properly. If it is good, I will buy it.

I noticed in this video that David talks about playing songs that they are working on ‘maybe down the line’  I am thinking we will be getting some new David Cook songs before this tour is over.

I am prob one of the few that read Twitter’s TOS regarding Trending Topics, and this kind of post is clearly considered spam. The hashtag item is clearly unrelated to the text. I guess twitter wants TT’s that are real and not just pasted on to any tweet.

Yes, a woman fainted. The crazy thing is that she was the one doing the cellcast, so it was halted (the cellcast that is) for a while until another person could be contacted.

Well, so far I’ve been to 2 GA David Cook concerts, and there was fainting at both of them. My guess is that its not an unusual occurrence. Could be an inherent risk of putting on a show that grabs you by by the neck, taking you on a wild roller coaster ride and won’t let you go till it’s over (leaving you panting for more, more!)

I am not an Adam fan but I think that the label is counting on “Time For Miracles” to help keep his name out there. I have not heard the whole song but it sounds like it might be along the lines of Time Of My Life by David Cook in terms of appeal. They don’t sound alike but they offer hopeful messages etc etc etc. Major cheese but universally liked/loved.
So the label may feel that they have time to pick his single. Last year Archie’s single was out a month or so before David’s and the angst was high. Light On came out but was a very slow burning song but I think part of this was because TOML was still charting. I am not sure the label wants Adam competing with himself but of course IDK.

I’m probably the only one here looking forward to Gokey’s single. If his producer can get him anything close to JTTW, I’m going to really love it.

Count me in as looking forward to it too. I’ve always liked his voice, second favorite VOICE for me this season. I just didn’t always like his song choices. I’m hoping that he’s getting some excellent advice and vocal training and am eager to see what he’ll put out. Since I think his songs will be soft country rather than twang, I probably will like them. I just hope he doesn’t do all rascal-flatts type songs, cuz I find them too generic.

I’ll be at the Hammond, IN show on the one-year anniversary of DCTR. Maybe they’ll break out a new song for the celebration. A girl can hope.

I liked Danny’s voice…just not his preaching or much of his song choices. I’ll listen to what he puts out to see if I like it enough to buy it. I’d probably never go see him in concert though.

I am not sure the label wants Adam competing with himself but of course IDK.

How is having two songs competing with himself? Even though they are not the same label, Adam and his label will still get compensated for both. It is more exposure for Adam. And if the songs are different (rock vs. pop) they will reach more people.

Radio stations will usually will not play two brand new songs from an artist at the same time. Artists even big names do not release two songs at the same time. So if Time For Miracles is released to radio I am not sure what the label will decide to do because of the way radio works.

‘I’m probably the only one here looking forward to Gokey’s single.’ 

Actually, me too. I like his voice, I’m curious to hear what they do with it.

Both Adam’s album and the 2012 Sountrack/”Time for Miracles” are on RCA — same label.

I agree. They will be in 2 different genres and played on 2 different kinds of radio stations and may not appeal to the same people at all. In fact, some people (*miley cyrus fans, i.e.*) may not even realize there is another song. More is better. Yea, yea, yea!

Radio stations will usually will not play two brand new songs from an artist at the same time.

The rock stations will play the rock song and the pop stations will play the pop song.

even better. thx Q3

‘I’m probably the only one here looking forward to Gokey’s single.’ 

I am also looking forward to Danny’s album — even more so since Mark Bright is producing it. It’s my #2 of the signed AI8 Idols only behind Adam.

And, I will buy Matt’s album when he get signed and when he puts it out.

The rock stations will play the rock song and the pop stations will play the pop song.

What’s the rock song? Idols have a notoriously hard time getting played on rock radio. Maybe Adam will be one of the exceptions. Bar-ba-Sol got nowhere, and it’s a pretty darn cool rock song.

Somehow I don’t think “Adam” needs anything even remotely resembling a “slow build”.
He’s more about exploding.
Five weeks is more than enough.

No, you’re not. So far we’ve got leftover dinner, bubblegum, & cheesecake…i’m now looking forward for an afternoon tea party (will it be green or lemony?)

If a song sucks and it’s going to die, it’s going to die. If a song is awesome and it’s going to expolde, it’s going to explode. 2 months…1 month, I don’t think it’s going to matter.
Carrie Underwood released her single two weeks before the album was released. (Those two weeks weren’t great for single sales-country fans were waiting to buy the whole album.) I would say Carrie’s album went on to do “pretty good”. haha I guess RCA didn’t screw that one up.
RCA knows what they’ve got and I’m sure they have a strategy. They know Adam has massive potential to make huge amounts of money for them. I’m glad RCA didn’t have Adam record a cover and then push it out there quickly. Sooner is not always better. Most worthwhile things are worth waiting for.

Richard Rushfield just tweeted Time For Miracles:

I don’t this RCA/Sony screwed this up. I think that the single has been done for a while and that the plan has always been to 1. Keep the plan a secret to create buzz. 2. Release TfM first — we now know 11/16/09 is probable sale date. 3. Release album single about 4 weeks (?) before the album drop and hope that it is one the charts when the album drops.

RCA will certainly go for radio adds for the album single, TDB from the album TBD. What they do with TfM might depend on if it sells or not. And based on the online response to the snippet, I think it will sell.
#timeformiracles is still #1 on Twitter trends and now approaching 10 hours as a trending topic.

There is not a standard time between single release and album drop for a successful album. RCA released Daughtry’s debut album and single were released on the same day. I would be very surprised if RCA went with less than 4 weeks for Adam’s lead album single — and Adam said it would be out in mid-October.

Here are the current Top 10 Billboard albums and US album and single release dates. Ranges from 4 months (Mirands Lambert) to 4 weeks (Pearl Jam).

MCabney1: Michigan needs to win today, #timeformiracles! =D
less than a minute ago from web

I am prob one of the few that read Twitter’s TOS regarding Trending Topics, and this kind of post is clearly considered spam. The hashtag item is clearly unrelated to the text. I guess twitter wants TT’s that are real and not just pasted on to any tweet.

Oh, I don’t think that’s spam — there is one that says that “it’s #timeforamiracle so the Twins can beat the Yankees.” And the vast, vast majority are about the song — not sports. But it is “football Saturday” and I thought the combo was kind of humorous.

I think TfM, if released to radio, would probably be released to CHR-pop and HAC (basically, CHR without urban/rhythm and slightly more pop/rock). Those are the two largest radio formats in terms of audience impressions, so I would think those are the formats RCA would be pushing it to.

As for Adam’s own single from his own album, based on what he’s described his music as, I think it woud need to be released on CHR-pop, HAC and . . . what else? CHR-dance?

As for any rock radio releases, not sure what rock format TfM could conceivably be released to but I would think the easiest fit would be alt/modern rock, because it’s not active rock, not heavy metal and not alternative (not to be confused with alt).

But again, these stations hardly even play Daughtry and only a few handful have spun Cook. (I’ve never heard Daughtry or Cook on my two local alt/modern rock stations but I have heard that some alt/modern rock stations play Daughtry and a few spins for Cook). Hopefully, Adam will be able to break through the Idol bias — but if not, frankly the rock formats are small and only shrinking.

Just for those who might be interested in David Cook’s album sales figures – here’s this week figure calculated from YTD charts -

2008
36 RCA COOK*DAVID DAVID COOK 811,667
2009 WEEK 40
49 – 430,800 – DAVID COOK – David Cook
total so far – 1,242,467 (I’m not sure if the numbers have been rounded up to nearest hundreds, but I’ll leave the calculated result as it is.)

Sales of ~2100 this week.

Just in case if there is anyone is wondering if this method of calculation might be valid, as far as I can tell, it is. Just comparing some random previous weeks where BB200 figures were available –

WEEK 34 Aug 28
40 – 414,709 – DAVID COOK – David Cook
Calculated – 1,226,376
Reported – 1,226,376

WEEK 36 Sep 18
44 – 421,160 – DAVID COOK – David Cook
Calculated – 1,232,827
Reported – 1,232,827

WEEK 37 Sep 11

Have fun everyone who is going to see David’s show tonight!! Can’t wait to hear from MJ about it . I’m so antsy for my show tomorrow’ ¦ real life has been super stressful, that should make me much happier. Ha!\

I AM GOING TONIGHT!!! I have had on Cook’s album all day to get in the mood!!! I am so happy to hear that he’s feeling well enough to crowd surf. I am in the mezzanine so I could sit if I wanted to, unlike at U2 (6 hours of standing, nothanksneveragain), but I can also run downstairs and flail if I need to. I will hydrate so I will not faint, however.

Thanks Hazehel, I love that you do this. I am very interested. Thanks again.

ETA: I took the liberty of reposting on DCO I hope you do not mind.

Keel: I think TfM, if released to radio, would probably be released to CHR-pop and HAC (basically, CHR without urban/rhythm and slightly more pop/rock). Those are the two largest radio formats in terms of audience impressions, so I would think those are the formats RCA would be pushing it to.

I can see this song will be played on CHR, AC/HAC, Classic Rock and some Country stations. It will certainly be played on Top 40 stations in the mid-South. Just a guess, but the other Adam single will be an electro-dance track that would be more suited to HAC.

Richard Rushfield just tweeted Time For Miracles:

Yet did I never breathe its pure serene Till I heard @adamlambert speak out loud and bold. The single snippet is here! http://bit.ly/fVsrA

Rushfield wins today’s prize for creative use of poetry! That’s John Keats from his poem “On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer”.

Much have I travell’d in the realms of gold,
And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;
Round many western islands have I been
Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold.
Oft of one wide expanse had I been told
That deep-brow’d Homer ruled as his demesne;
Yet did I never breathe its pure serene
Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold:
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
When a new planet swims into his ken;
Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes
He star’d at the Pacific–and all his men
Look’d at each other with a wild surmise
Silent, upon a peak in Darien.

I guess he liked TfM!

Andrew played Matt Giraud and it sounded just like Green River Ordinance to me.

I can see this song will be played on CHR, AC/HAC, Classic Rock and some Country stations. It will certainly be played on Top 40 stations in the mid-South.

Oh, there will always be stations that will spin songs on a token basis, even if they are not officially added to the station’s playlist. (Cook’s songs also got country spins, and if you can believe it, Christian stations.) I was talking about what formats RCA would be releasing the song to — as in officially pushing the song to program directors of radio stations and getting them to add the song to their playlists. I sincerely doubt that RCA would be pushing country stations to add the song. As far as Classic Rock, I never listen to that format so I don’t know what types of songs gets added to that format.

Richard Rushfield just tweeted Time For Miracles:

Richard Rushfield was behind! I tweeted him about this last night? Wonder what Brian Mansfield’s thoughts were? I will tweet him if he hasn’t posted them already.

I am still trying to figure out if Rickey was being facetious or excited about TFM last night on his website…thoughts?

Thanks for Cookie links!

ETA: I took the liberty of reposting on DCO I hope you do not mind.

You are welcome to. So you are Folkfan in another guise? I go to DCO occasionly, but mainly for the tour reports.

Rickey’s got another Kris post up. Does he really think he’s helping him?? I don’t get it.

You are welcome. So you are Folkfan in another guise? I go to DCO occasionly, but mainly for the tour reports.

No, Folkfan posts as herself. I know who 123abc456 is, however but I’m not telling. *waves at 123abc456*

suebrody, have fun! Get ready to sing Come Back to Me because at least at the past few shows the crowd has done most of the singing . I found where someone had the audio for the whole Albany show recorded and I listened to most of it and the crowd did juuuust about all of Come Back to Me. Which is fine, Cookie needs to rest those tonsils, lol.

I can see this song will be played on CHR, AC/HAC, Classic Rock and some Country stations.

A new song isn’t getting played on Classic Rock. That’s a format for older songs. The classic rock channel here plays “newer” stuff but nothing newer than the early 90s I don’t think. It can’t be classic rock the year it comes out…

Hee, that is a great tweet from David I LOVE Andy’s To Have Heroes EP… love, love, love. Story of Your Life is a great song.

I think Rickey is high. Not only is it stupid to post a whole topic on that but he’s really that confident Kris will be #1 the week his album drops? Wow. I want what he’s smoking.

suebrody-To get you ready for tonight’s concert, you can see these vids from last night HERE.

Have fun tonight!

“Idols have a notoriously hard time getting played on rock radio. Maybe Adam will be one of the exceptions. ”

There’s no way Adam will get any play on rock radio. Cook gets almost none, and he’s a real rocker. Even Daughtry gets very little, even though ironically he’s sold more albums than any other rock act the past 3 years. I think Adam will do fine on pop radio, which is where he belongs. Venturing into rock radio would be a bad idea for him.

I used to live for David Cook. Then Season 8 and Adam happened to me. Maybe I will try to give Cook a listen for old times sake, thanks to the enthusiastic posts here.

I hope that the Providence concert is almost as good as the Charlottesville concert. [wink]

Why, yes, I am going to the Charlottesville concert. How did you guess?

Did anyone attend that signing/M&G at this Providence station? Cook looked a’ight, I guess:

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2676893&l=7dc09877bf&id=8607539092

Hope you guys have fun tonight. And exercise those arms! You’ll never know when you have to crowd surf Cook back to the stage.

I heard LLWD played on 101.9 The Mix in Chicago last night around 10:00pm. The station is sponsoring Miracle on State Street with Kris, The Fray and a special guest in early December at the Auditorium Theatre. It’s the first time I’d heard the song on the radio and it sounded great. The Mix has a Hot Adult Top 40 format.

I still think this song will do well over the long run. Just needs time to build.

I am still trying to figure out if Rickey was being facetious or excited about TFM last night on his website’ ¦thoughts?

My thoughts-Who cares? It’s Rickey.

There’s no way Adam will get any play on rock radio. Cook gets almost none, and he’s a real rocker.

Where is the blank stare smiley when you need one?.

I hope suebrody and mj have fun at the concert tonight. Cook seems like he puts on a rocking show, so I’m sure it will be great and it seems (Mr. crowd surfing) that he’s feeling better, which is good news. So maybe some recaps later…

Anyhew, it was dead when I asked in the headline thread, not sure if it will be any different now, but from the more knowledgeable peeps, Kris has said he has until Oct. 15th to record his album, is there any leeway with that and how much? Or is that a hard fast deadline.

I still think this song will do well over the long run. Just needs time to build.

Agreed, it seems to be picking up steam already before it’s offical radio adds date. I haven’t checked, but how is he doing on iTunes and pre-sale orders lately?

Odds are that that is a drop-dead date. They need time to finish processing the songs, to get the CDs ready to ship, etc.

Odds are that that is a drop-dead date. They need time to finish processing the songs, to get the CDs ready to ship, etc.

See, I thought it was a drop dead date as well, but again, I don’t have the kind of AI info as others here, so I was curious to see if my thoughts were accurate.

So that being said, whoa! That date is coming up fast. The AI recording schedule is in-fracking-sane. I mean I know it and I’ve said it before, it’s just when confronted anew with it…it just makes me shake my head again.

So is Kris this weekend with shooting the video, is he putting in time in the studio between that? Crazy.

terraj,
Thank you for the translation, for trying to get some feedback from the DDD experts and for the many links you post to keep us informed. Your efforts are appreciated, even if we don’t say it often.

*slowclaps*

I hope that the Providence concert is almost as good as the Charlottesville concert. [wink]

Why, yes, I am going to the Charlottesville concert. How did you guess?

Ooh, FolkFan, me too, me too. Are you going early? I’m ready to go to bed and wake up and have it be show day, lol. iPod all charged up for the drive down… ready to roll.

They churn these albums out quickly, don’t they? And you can usually tell… main goal = do well enough to produce a better second one, lol.

Will looks for Feedback (and Mike Chang speaks!!!!)

Sue Schemes – Warning: Don’t by stuff from Sue.

Rachel vs the Reporter Kid

awwww tierbee that is too cute.

I’m probably the only one here looking forward to Gokey’s single. If his producer can get him anything close to JTTW, I’m going to really love it.

No, I am another one who is looking forward to Gokey’s single, even if it is country. Yep, an Adam fan who is also a Gokey fan (thanks to the tour).

I don’t know if this is the right thread but I’m sitting here watching AI Rewind and they just had a commercial for Blake’s cd. All the songs sound good in the chosen clips but at the end of the commercial, they put up a quote about how good the cd is by Perez Hilton. I LOL’ed. Blake, buddy, I was planning on getting the cd but Perez isn’t going to convince me!

Heh, yeah, Perez isn’t much of a selling point, not sure how wise that commercial was. But the songs are really good on that album, it deserves some success.

I wonder though whether someone who has (a little unfairly) been branded as a disappointment in album sales like Blake can get a real second chance with the sophomore effort, or is he stereotyped by the first album and not likely to get much success with the second album? I guess in some ways he’s in a similar position to Bo Bice when Bice released his 2nd album. I’m hoping Blake gets a fair (or unfair) shot, I’m not a dance/pop fan at all but I still really like most of the songs on ‘Heartbreak’.

Archie looks like an elf on this album cover, but he has a beautiful voice. I may have to buy this Christmas album.

Aw, the just showed Taylor on AI rewind and I’m getting misty for season 5! Carly Hennessey’s (Smithson’s) audition is next!

So I’m reading that tonight’s cellcaster might have broken her ankle (David Cook show)’ ¦ didn’t last night’s faint? Beware being the cellcaster, lol!

Yep, and it looks like she is going to cellcast anyway and go to the hospital once the show is over. Poor girl, she needs to go to the hospital now! After last night and tonight, I’d be afraid of cellcasting too. lol

There was fireworks between the judges tonight on the first X factor live show.

Danni made a very childish and unnecessary remark about Danyl’s sexuality and Simon was furious .. and then Dannii and Cheryl made a few bitchy remarks about how Kandy Rain (the ex strippers) were dressed and Simon responded by saying that both Dannii and Cheryl ave dressed the same way .. it was all very awkward and uncomfortable and it seems to indicate that once again the X factor is going to be more about the judges bickering than the actual acts

ouch — she should go to the hospital and get herself fixed up.

Poor girl, she needs to go to the hospital now!

Ouch, really! Of course when I was in high school one of my friends did that… we got in an accident on the way to see PIL/New Order/Depeche Mode and she broke her ankle but we went to the show anyway. I’d think I’d be going to the doctor since I’m a wimp – maybe some folks have a higher pain threshold!

For anyone who wants to be brave enough and listen to the Providence cellcast (lol)….

So I’m reading that tonight’s cellcaster might have broken her ankle (David Cook show)’ ¦ didn’t last night’s faint? Beware being the cellcaster, lol!

This is reminding me of the Birchmere show. Wasn’t it the cell caster whose car was hit by David’s roadie’s bus in the parking lot? And the car was the cell caster’s husband’s baby? Sad, sad situation. Heh. But she showed up — sans husband — at the West Virginia, David-in-full-body-leotard show nonetheless!

He’s wailing away on Kiss On the Neck now. But I would imagine that letting Andy help out on Make Me is an effort to take it a little easier on his throat. He has shows tomorrow & Tues and I don’t know what he has after that but I don’t recall there being much downtime?

Here is the schedule for the rest of October:

10/11/2009 Charlottesville, VA

10/16/2009 Greensboro, NC
10/17/2009 Columbia, SC
10/18/2009 Perry, GA

Unless some dates get filled in after the 18th, then the next show isn’t until 11/3.

David finally met Chris C, at the doctor, no less? Now that is bizarre and perfect. Guess the light was on at the doctors.

Awwww I’m feeling all sappy now. I’m glad they finally got to meet. Life is so funny..it took a doctors visit for it to happen LOL

I always thought there was a little bit of … I don’t know how to term it, but something a little ascerbic and sarcastic in terms of Chris Cornell’s comments towards David Cook harking all the way back to when David did Chris’ version of Billie Jean and basically put it on the map. So, I’m glad they finally met and that Chris was able to see that David is not the enemy.

LOL I’m enjoying the conversation here.
That’s nice about CC. I remember David saying he’d like to meet Chris, but it had never happened. I wonder who did the first move. lol

That’s such a cutie pic of Matt and his dad!

I’m looking forward to what mj has to say about DC’s concert!!! He puts on an awesome show!! That’s so cool that he got to meet CC. Kind words from CC, that’s nice.

Oh god I’m embarrassed to say I squee like an idiot when he tweets my him and Chris D. My friend that was at the show last night said he plugged Kris’ single too..?

eta: Oh shit now Chris joined in, currently my head is exploding like Jim Cantiellos.

I always thought there was a little bit of ‘ ¦ I don’t know how to term it, but something a little ascerbic and sarcastic in terms of Chris Cornell’s comments towards David Cook

I definitely picked up on that too every single time Cook was brought up in a Cornell interview. I’m glad they met too. Generally people always seem to like David once they’ve met him.

I was kind of hoping that Cook would incorporate a bit of what he did in Montreal, given the extremely enthusiastic fan response. I thought Montreal was a step in the right direction that fixed the only real problem I had with his setlist. Maybe he’s just waiting to feel fully recovered before he breaks out the acoustic again (crosses fingers).

Tweets of David’s banter. Sounds like he finally met Chris Cornell. Sweet

So, I’m glad they finally met and that Chris was able to see that David is not the enemy.

The thousands of dollars that David and Light On undoubtedly made for Chris Cornell probably helped CC get over his ego.

I was at last night’s DCatA show. It was stiflingly hot and stuffy there, so I’m not surprised someone fainted. I didn’t know about it until I read it here though! The band was great, but Dave sounded very hoarse by the end of the show.

Hee hee, I was looking for Kris news and who knew it would come in the form of a fortune cookie tweet! LOL! I’m lovin’ that exchange! Thanks VALilac!

LOL, Daniel B, then you’re not alone… I get a kick out of their exchanges too .

Jim C. is probably flailing with the Idol to Idol twitter conversation going on among Kris, David Cook and Chris Daughtry. He freaked the last time David tweeted a reply to Kris…

Meanwhile, I hope Kris’ fortune cookie is more accureate than mine have been!! — I still have one from February 2008 that reads “remember three months from now. good things are in store for you” — um yeah — almost TWO YEARS later, and I’m still waiting for that freakin’ fortune to come true.

I have way too much going on here. Hanging out here, watching US v. Honduras World Cup qualifier online…. I’m one multitasking girl

And then I need to sleep so I am fresh and joyful for my show tomorrow… happy happy joy joy.

MJ finally reported in:

#mjsbigblog Sorry Tweeps! I just got back from @thedavidcook concert. Fabulous! I didn’t tweet because I videoed nearly the whole thing…

#mjsbigblog Peeps, @thedavidcook puts on a creative show. It’s obvious he puts much thought into putting on an entertaining concert.

Yay! I like fabulous!

Hi guys. Clean up in aisle 6 8 and 12 has been keeping me from reporting on the concert!

David puts on a great show. He sang “Died in your arms tonight” and a couple of pre-Idol songs. Said he loves playing in the northeast because the crowds are incredible.

He had tonscillitis which is treatable with antibiotics, I believe. He didn’t sound sick at all.

I had seats up in the balcony, so a clear shot of david with my camera…but kind of far away.

Daniel B “Whoa! I never care about the twitter stuff, but an exchange between Kris Allen, David Cook, and Chris Daughtry? My 3 favorite Idols ever? That rocks!

MJ I am glad you had a good time and that it was a good show. : )

Y’all probably know this already, but David told a story about meeting Chris Cornell at the Doctors office while he was in getting his throat problems treated. Chris told David he sang “Light On” better than he could have.

Hazehel I am not folkfan, but she posted your stats when I did so I deleted my post. Thanks again.

Thanks mj, for the update. Glad to hear that he didn’t sound sick. Some people have said that by the end of the previous night’s concert he was beginning to sound a little hoarse. I don’t know he how keeps singing night after night.

I’m one who thought from the videos I heard from Northern Lights (I watched quite a few) that David sounded a bit hoarse. Tonsillitis is no fun…I had it 7 times before they finally ripped mine out. Let’s just hope it doesn’t become a chronic thing for him.

I don’t know if not having them would change his voice. It didn’t mine. I couldn’t sing with them and I still can’t.

Thank you so much MJ for your update. I have been waiting for your comment tonite. I am so happy to hear fabulous, great and creative. Can’t wait for your videos.

Great to hear that David was great tonight. MJ are you going to post sometime in the future any of the videos you took? What was your favorite song he did?

I mentioned hearing something about how he plugged Kris’ single last night, here’s video… It’s the banter leading up to Little Lies and he pimps Kris and Adam.

David Cook is a Class Act…..His Karma Level just Sky rocketed!

Glad that you enjoyed the show, MJ. I look forward to seeing the recap….

My ponies are all songs that I haven’t heard live, in order: Anodyne, Permanent, Avalanche (especially if he wants to bring out the acoustic guitar), Breathe Tonight, Shattered Dreams, any of the “Idol” songs that I haven’t heard (LoaP, ABMB, Billie Jean). Of course, if he pulled any AcousticDave, I’d be extremely thrilled.

That said, as I had thought that I wouldn’t be making it to either of the kinda-sorta-DC-area shows, I’ll just be happy to be at Charlottesville.

My little video camera is ready, iphone is set, now I just need to make sure that I know how to get to Charlottesville….

Great to hear that David was great tonight. MJ are you going to post sometime in the future any of the videos you took? What was your favorite song he did?

I’m uploading them now. I got the entire concert, except for “Light On” (I got the banter before it, though)

My favs were….Barbisol, Lies, Mr. Sensitive

Here’s the set list:

1. Mr. Sensitive
2. Heroes
3. I did it for You
4. Declaration
5 My Last Request
6 Barbisol
7. Make Me
8. Kiss on the Neck
9. Die In Your Arms
10. Light On
11. Lie
12. Come Back to Me

He signed someone’s cast. His banter is spontaneous and funny.

That’s a nice setlist. Interesting that Lie was so late in the concert—seems like they’re mixing it up with the encore.

My favs were’ ¦.Barbisol, Lies, Mr. Sensitive

I love Lies and Mr. Sensitive! I also like ” I did it for you”

THIS! I’d rather have the banter than hearing Light On again. It’s always new and it’s always amusing.

He signed someone’s cast. His banter is spontaneous and funny.

And THIS! He is indeed a class act and never has a bad word to say about Idol…at least not in a public forum.

I’m more worried about getting *back* from Charlottesville after the show… once you hit highway, it’s fine… but there’s some country drivin’ before then. Gotta make sure the iPod is good and charged!

Looking forward to your videos, MJ!

What I especially love about the exchanges is that the subject matter is always so silly or random. Like ice shifting, or fortune cookies, or like when David and Chris exchanged tweets about video games haha.

I love that too! Makes you wonder how much randomness and dorkness will happen if you put these boys in one room.

MJ, I’m very jealous that you got I Did It for You! I love the way they’re doing that live now. But, I did get to hear Little Lies last night, so that sort of makes up for it. ;0) Sounds like it was a really good show, but then they all are!

Glad you liked the concert MJ! I bought last minute tickets but ended up getting stuck at work so I didn’t make it. Can’t wait to see your videos.

He had tonscillitis which is treatable with antibiotics, I believe. He didn’t sound sick at all.

Gingerly is right, having tonscillitis as an adult is no fun. There was a major league baseball star that had his removed and it took him out of the line-up for two weeks. Little kids handle these things a bit better. I hope David is able to get this under control.

That’s great that you got to attend David’s concert, MJ!

Mine too- I wish they would have a male version of the Diva’s Live. Having these three in it would be awesome.

Hell yeah! Divas aren’t my thing but I could get behind a male version of cool duets.

Rehash of yesterday, but I liked the picture

Adam Lambert: ‘Glam Rock’ and His First Music Video!

A two minute clip of the duet from Season 1 Australian Idol Guy Sebastian and Season 6 American Idol Jordin Sparks has leaked . the song called Art Of Love has a nice R&B sound. it will be on his Like It Like That album to be released in Australia on October 23rd and in the US supposedly sometime in early 2010.. not sure if it will be a single yet in either country though i hope it is.

Sad that an Adam fan has to order around Michael. I do not like Michael but instead of harassing him I just don’t bother following him.

Coming out of lurking today after reading so many informative things on this site! You guys really know your stuff!
Have a few questions:
How is Kris Allen’s single doing, “LLWD”? I really hope he does well! I read that single is a cover from Scripts. (True?) Is it practice to put out a single that is a remake and not original?
Any news on Matt G. being signed?
Any further rumors/news on Adam touring with Gaga? Anything on an Adam “special edition” cd?
What do you guys think about Allison’s new single, “FIBOY”?
Love your thoughts! Thanx!
