		<description>&quot;Thanks SarahÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ appreciate hearing your perspective.&quot;

As do I. I can&#039;t wait for your review, would have loved to see them play at a venue like Hard Rock! The next time they play in my area is the stadium tour opening for Bon Jovi, which I will have to pass up cause tickets are so expensive, even for really crummy seats. And you got to see them cover &quot;All These Lives&quot; and &quot;Imagine&quot;, so I am officially jellus, cause they weren&#039;t doing those 2 covers when I saw them this past summer. Did they do their new song, &quot;Back to Me&quot;?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;No, I wasnÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t drinking, and no, I wasnÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t so excited that my logic was distorted. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

I would never ask those questions or imply that.

&lt;blockquote&gt;But, IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll drop it. The debate about who left and who didnÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t really is quite silly, isnÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yup. This sometimes happens. Bring on Stinky Pete!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;All I was doing was commenting based on what a reviewer said.&lt;/blockquote&gt;



I realize that. And I was offering a counter-argument to the reviewer based on MY personal experience at the concert - which I thought was acceptable. No, I wasn&#039;t drinking, and no, I wasn&#039;t so excited that my logic was distorted. From where I was standing, if a &quot;noticeable amount&quot; of people started leaving, I would have seen it. And, to me, when there are a couple thousand people in the room, 5 leaving on this side and 10 leaving on that side is not a &quot;noticeable amount&quot;. Hundreds? Yeah, that would be. Though I would have loved if they did... I might have been able to get closer to the stage for the last song instead of standing by the bar.

But, I&#039;ll drop it. The debate about who left and who didn&#039;t really is quite silly, isn&#039;t it.</description>

		<description>Well, I think Ruben owns a club in Birmingham, so hopefully this won&#039;t be a big financial setback for him.</description>

Mine either. The only promo I know of is when my daughter talked about seeing him on Sesame Street - she loved him!  :)</description>

		<description>Purple, so glad you had a good time!  Thanks for sharing all your pics and vids.

Lu, if Ruben got promo, it didn&#039;t reach my end of the world... at least in terms of his most recent allbum.  Good luck to him.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;The King of Soul (Patrol)&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;...And, make no mistake about it, Taylor is a true showman Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬&#039;  and an original that clearly outshone McPhee who had gone for the hopelessly clichÃƒÆ’ ©d, sexy siren stereotype.

He saunters onto the stage, blowing on his harmonica like a judge banging on a gavel: Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œHello everybody!Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  he says, and leans Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬&#039;  yes that now famous lean. And just like that, we are taken by Taylor.

ItÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s his first time in Manila, he reveals, but reckons it wonÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t be the last. Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œI love it! IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m excited to be here. I wish I could stay here for a week. I have had a very nice time!Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ 

Ayala LandÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Mall Group seems to have a monopoly on getting AI talents here, but who are we to complain? It wasnÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t just too long ago that Yaminoys of all ages went nuts over ElliottÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s tour of Ayala Malls.

For Taylor, especially, performing at the mall is certainly a fit. He professes: Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œI love shopping. I have to get gifts for my brother, my father, my mother, my grandmother, my cousins. Just about everybody. I guess thatÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s what happens when you win American Idol. You have to buy a bunch of gifts.Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ 

Such candor is rare for usually guarded celebrities. But thatÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s exactly among the qualities that endeared Taylor to the world Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬&#039;  a refreshing character that is purely about the music and rarely about being self-conscious with projections and affectations...

		<description>Did Ruben ever get any promo?  I wasn&#039;t an idol watcher that season but it sure seems like CLay got a lot more promo than Ruben.  If he indeed was dropped by his label, I hope things work out well for him.</description>

		<description>Fair enough, mj.  She still has another 20 or so performances before January 6th, so I don&#039;t think the Color Purple is going to get specific on numbers.

//He is as reliable as a Ouija board.//
Very true. 

Jaxson was the original source of the pregnancy rumor.  Here&#039;s what he said on his blog today after Page Six picked it up:

&quot;They may have spelled my name wrong, but hell we made it to Page 6 AGAIN!!!&quot;
Hmmm.  Doesn&#039;t that say it all?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;PURPLEÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ PARENT?

DOES Fantasia Barrino have a bun in the oven? Yes, say several reliable bloggers including celebrity writer Jonathan Jackson,&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The &quot;reliable&quot; celebrity blogger is Jonathan &lt;strong&gt;Jaxson&lt;/strong&gt;. A self admitted AI reject [season2 he says] trying to gain a foothold among the better known gay celeb bloggers. He has published equally unsubstantiated crap about other AI alumni in the past. He&#039;s a Perez wannabe. 

He is as reliable as a Ouija board.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The Color Purple rep said she missed Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œa fewÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  shows. That seems far from 50, but I guess people can believe what they want.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Her statement is vague, and it&#039;s open to interpretation. It doesn&#039;t prove anything. That&#039;s all I&#039;m saying.</description>
