Teacher’s dream to sing

….Rosener said she hopes to begin performing at more area street dances and other events, although having two youngsters younger than 3 makes that more challenging. She said she’s won several vocal competitions and finished second in last year’s state Colgate County Showdown. Immediately following that event, John drove his pregnant wife to the American Idol tryouts in Minneapolis.

“We drove all night and got there at 7 in the morning. I was pregnant and nauseous and throwing up,” she said. “It wasn’t pretty.”

Rosener didn’t advance and said at 29 she was too old to try out when the program came to Omaha for this year’s tryouts….

YouTube Promotes à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹Celebrity Rehabà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ in Drug Awareness Campaign

Whatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s your first memory of an anti-drug commercial? An egg frying in a pan and a voice saying, à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“This is your brain on drugs,à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  is a common answer. It seems the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“scared straightà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  approach to inducing a fear of drugs à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’ remember the shotgun wielding teen that killed his friend after smoking dope à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’ hasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t come far. Now in YouTube clips promoting a new show called Celebrity Rehab, Dr. Drew Pinksy of Love Line fame will attempt to reinvent the genre.

Adoration for Aiken follows him here

To most of us, Clay Aiken is that nice young man who placed second in the 2003 season of “American Idol.”

But it seems Aiken has a cult following among middle-aged women, creating an unexpected boon for Miller Auditorium and the Kalamazoo Public Schools.

Aiken will be in town Friday for a holiday concert with the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra at Miller Auditorium — an event occurring on Aiken’s 29th birthday.

To the delighted astonishment of Miller officials, they’ve sold tickets in 26 states for the concert, drawing hundreds of women from fan clubs with names such as Claynation and Claymates. About 50 Aiken fans were so determined to get front-and-center seats that they bought season subscriptions to Miller, costing those patrons an extra $100 each. (The fans donated tickets for the other events back to Miller, which is distributing them to area service clubs.)……..

Entertainers of the Year: 25 Top Stars of 2007
Meet the extraordinary talents who shined brightest in 2007, from George Clooney to Johnny Depp to Carrie Underwood to…EW’s pick for Entertainer of the Year!

2007′S MOST POPULAR: CARRIE UNDERWOOD

Faith Hill was only kidding, folks, when she feigned outrage at Carrie Underwood’s win at the 2006 CMA Awards, but viewers may’ve been truly shocked by the now-24-year-old’s meteoric rise. In 2007, Underwood further solidified her country bona fides with a confident, twangy No. 1 album, Carnival Ride, that vindicated all the promise and possibility American Idol aspires to offer. à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’ Jeff Labreque

Christmas music starts early at Smiths’
Holiday recordings have something for everyone

….The orchestra lends a marked change, though Smith hasn’t completely shed his piano-pop core on Wonderful Christmas. Album track “Christmas Day,” in particular, is stocked with his trademark contemplative hooks and features a radio-ready contribution from American Idol alum and Nashville favorite Mandisa.

Smith was impressed enough with her contribution à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’  “She just, in my opinion, knocked it out of the park,” he says à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’  to ask her to come along on his Christmas tour, which starts Thursday and ends in Nashville on Dec. 22 at Brentwood Baptist Church. Scheduling conflicts prohibited Mandisa’s inclusion, so fellow Idol-er Melinda Doolittle will take that spot (and helm Mandisa’s duet part in “Christmas Day”)….

    *waves at purps*

    I hope she does too, although I won’t be buying her album. I listened to it on Rhapsody and it wasn’t my thing.

    *waves back at pj* ;)

    I’m not sure, either, whether I would indeed be buying Jordin’s CD. Maybe if I like another song from there. I do know, though, that my having heard Tattoo multiple times on the radio here has resulted in the song being stuck in my head. It’s my LSS…hah. It is a terribly catchy tune. Heh. ;p

    wow — hot time in the city.

    I hate it that Taylor’s blown his cover. His girlfriend is really his step and one-half brother, the brother no one could ever really find.

    I told y’all he was shy! But, no one would listen. :blink_tb:

    Holy cow, Kat, did that really happen? I feel so sorry for Taylor if thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s the case. I mean I know some portion of all the AI fanbases are pretty intense, but DAMN. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m so glad I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t frequent anybodyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s fan sites. LOL!

    Oh my goodness… Take a hiatus from the AI (and Taylor Hicks) fandom and *this* is what happens?
    I knew there were some (a few) denialists out there regarding Taylor’s girlfriend, but oy vey. A full blown splinter group? Poor Taylor.

    Oh! Hi everyone! :cool1_tb:

    A few comments about the state of this years winner and runner up and music sales in general –

    I was at iTunes yesterday and noticed “Tatoo” about number 8 or 9. I took a listen to Jordin’s song samples and they’re, eh… pleasant and generic, exactly what I figured they would be. It’s the Idol formula in all its glory (or NOT). I noticed also that Tatoo and the Chris B duet were downloaded vastly more than the other album cuts, which I think shows that it’s going be that way – a few popular singles, but not necessarily big album sales.

    I expect that the Media that trashed Taylor last year will make excuses for Jordin – unless AI turns on her. Why? Because I think they are, at the heart of things, sheep. They buy into the hype as much as anyone and they take their lead from the AI folks. Also she’s OMG!17 ignoring the fact that other, younger singers have done vastly better in sales, and what manly man music critic wants to sound like he’s picking on a sweet young girl?

    Please note: I have nothing against Jordin, and I really do wish her all the best. I’m just still annoyed at the way things went down last season for a host of reasons.

    I’m sorry that Jordin may be a victim of AI’s hubris and bloat. Blake too. And speaking of Blake,

    I think his single is more interesting. It’s really not my cup of tea, unfortunately, but I have yet to hear any of his other songs and I’m curious enough about them to listen.

    Have a fab day y’all!
