Idol Headlines for 2/10/09

Bringing this over from DCO. It’s part of a blog post from an actress that’s on iCarly, about David C. Sounds like he spent a day with Lindsay Rose. What a sweetheart he is.

“And now for the perfect little cherry story to top my perfect little ice cream sundae storyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ Saturday morning, while at a Nick promo shoot, I got a phone call from none other than DAVID COOK!!! No, I am not kidding. DAVID COOK! I spoke over the phone with a good friend of his, a little girl who has leukemia. David was spending the day with her. Well, after I finished speaking with her, David himself got on the phone to personally thank me for talking to his friend. The wonderful person David Cook is has been really obvious, both from when I met him in person and from this phone call. To be spending the day with a little girl in need and then to thank me for talking to herà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ wow. That says miles about his character. Now thereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s an American Idol.”

Jason fans, he will be at Disney World Thursday also. I’m sure that most of us already knew that. He posted a bulletin early this morning:

From: Jason Castro

Date: Feb 10, 2009 4:21 AM

Subject: night night

Body: Its time for bed but I still need to pack! Headed out of town tomorrow. Got a private show in Dallas then I’m off to Disney World!!! Yay. For those of you wondering, I’m going to try and get some questions answered tomorrow it’s Tuesday after all! haha I got to see some homies tonight. Green River Ordinance played at The Hotel Cafe! They were great. Good times. Well, I’m out.

goodnight!

David Cook did a great interview this morning with Mix 105.1 in Florida. Thank you to Imogen PH for the link!

Heh, Hillay Clinton “geeked out” on him. How awesome is that?

ETA: So far, which S7 Idols are verified to attend the Disney thing? Just the Davids and Jason?

Congrats to Nick Cannon on getting the hosting gig for America’s Got Talent. I have been a fan every since he was a cute little kid on “All That”. Love him.

ETA: So far, which S7 Idols are verified to attend the Disney thing? Just the Davids and Jason?

Hasn’t Syesha confirmed it too? I have the impression she mentioned it at some point, but can’t find now.

^^ DC spent the day with Lindsey Rose? Aww. This guy is just TOO much. How adorable and sweet.

Thanks gabam for the news about Jason.

So appearantly there was another much longer DC interview this morning with XL106.7. Why do I always find out about these things after they happen?
Anyway this page has a link to some pictures. Hopefully a podcast turns up or someone awesome recorded it. Appearantly he was there for, like, an hour.

DC spending time with Lindsey Rose on Saturday is certainly time better spent than at Clive’s party. I really admire his kindness and devotion to the little girl. He obviously developed a relationship with her and takes the time out to visit her no matter how busy he is. The combination of his music and his natural humanity and goodness is what makes him special.

MJ- I just noticed that that first “Freak Show” article is yours! Good Job!

I kinda figured that the rumor that Simon had helped Fantasia save her house was not true.

Congrats on the new article, MJ.

MJ – I love reading your article and then ShaqFu or whomever it is that likes to bash EVERY article you write. He or She TOTALLY cracks me up and obviously doesn’t make it much past the headlines of what you post around here. Anyway, congrats on the Post gig! Very cool

ShaqFu or whomever it is that likes to bash EVERY article you write. He or She TOTALLY cracks me up and obviously doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t make it much past the headlines of what you post around here.

SNORT! I know! Hehe.

MJ – I love reading your article and then ShaqFu or whomever it is that likes to bash EVERY article you write. He or She TOTALLY cracks me up and obviously doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t make it much past the headlines of what you post around here. Anyway, congrats on the Post gig! Very cool

Probably a disgruntled Daughtry or Kat fan I banned during Season 5. LOL.

Anyway, ShaqfuckU is totally missing my point. Of course they’ve always advanced characters, there are just more of them this year. And the joke is farther reaching, like in the case of Nick Mitchell.

BTW- Like most people, it takes a lot to get my attention. Your title is what made me open the article. :thumbup_tb:

Jolene, thanks for bringing the Mix 105.1 interview over here. That was a great interview, with a lot of substance. It’s too funny that he flipped out over Hilary Clinton flipping out about him!

How sweet is it that he spent the day with Lindsay Rose on Saturday, instead of going to Clive’s party?

ETA: Loved your new article, MJ.

MJ, at least they spelled your last name correctly this time! I enjoyed the read.

Great article MJ…

So appearantly there was another much longer DC interview this morning with XL106.7.

The podcasts are up!

Good stuff. DC was chatty and hilarious. They were choosing cheesy love songs for the Valentine’s day theme. Also, I really like the black beanie. You can tell his hair is getting really long in the back!

Jolene, thanks for bringing the Mix 105.1 interview over here.

No problem!

And here’s a link to two segments from the 2nd interview DC did today. They didn’t upload the entire hour, but these segments they did upload are great. It really makes a difference when he’s in the studio rather than calling in, makes for much much better interviews.

ETA: Didn’t see sma11ie’s post in time!

So far, which S7 Idols are verified to attend the Disney thing? Just the Davids and Jason?

Jolene, Michael Johns has also confirmed he will be attending the Disney event. I am guessing a lot of the recent idols will be there. Perhaps they invited the whole season 7 top ten so whoever cares to or can make it will be there. I guess we’ll find out on the 12th.

Cudos on the article MJ!!

Nice article MJ! I enjoyed reading it.

According to Elliott’s website, he’ll be performing at the NBA All-Star game on Saturday.

ETA: Deleted.

Thanks, jumpstart. They looked funny to me, too.

^ I’m pretty sure those #’s are from last week ..

^ and streaming on internte too??? lol

Well, I know I watched with my daughter for the first time on Saturday night. We sat through all three shows waiting for “Crush.” And THIS Saturday, we’ll sit through whatever, waiting for his performance of “A Little Too Not Over You”

HANNAH MONTANA DSNY Mon 07:30P-08:00P 2,556

Hah… take that Hanna Montana… lol (j/k)

^^ Not sure if that was a repeat or not, but iCarly has been beating Hannah Montana in their key demos for about a year now. lol. And after watching iCarly this past Saturday I can see why–it’s not nearly as annoying and the kids are actually better actors.

Way to represent Florida stations, with your awesome Cook interviewing selves. And hee at Cook putting Meatloaf on his imaginary mixtape, cuz nothing says romance like a husky dude with a sweat towel. Serlously, though, I have Bat out of Hell, and now I want to hear Cook sing a lil Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Glad that he got to spend time with Lindsay Rose.

The Neil Tennant article is an interesting read. First, I really dig old school new wave music. I’m not sure if America would go for a new wave week, but I’d love it. Second, I don’t watch X factor, but he voices the problem I had with the early days of AI, namely the refusal to embrace all genres of music equally. AI has gotten a bit better in that respect over the last two seasons at least.

ETA: props to MJ!

The power of the Archuleta! Dang those ratings are outstanding! This is the part I like:

* iCarly “iRocked the Vote” (Saturday, Feb. 7, 8-8:30 p.m.), featuring teen “Idol” David Archuleta, was TV’s number-one show for the week (2/2/09-2/8/09) with kids and cable’s top program with tweens.
It drew 5.2 million total viewers ( 68% in delivery); a 10.0/2.1 million K6-11 ( 72% in rating); an 8.7/1.9 million T9-14 ( 74%); and an 8.1/2.8 million K2-11 ( 72%).

Go David! And iCarly :thumbup_tb:

What does K6 and T9 and K2 mean?

What does K6 and T9 and K2 mean?

Have no idea, they must be some sort of breakdown to differentiate teens, tweens, etc… It doesn’t matter to me – those double digit increases in those categories speak for themselves…. I watched this show for the first time ever to catch David’s acting debut, and will do the same this Saturday for the ALTNOY premiere… David A all the way :clap_tb:

Thanks for posting Kelly’s tracklisting! I’m so excited to hear her version of “Save You”…I thought the demo was gorgeous. Is “Ready” also one of the demos that leaked a while back? The one that goes, “I’m ready now, woahohohhh” (lol). I hope so; I really loved it!

^ You’re welcome! Yes, that’s the same one. I’m very excited to hear “Save You” and heck even “I Do Not Hook Up”!

The list of AIs going to the AI experience Opening

That’s actually pretty impressive. Kelly, Clay, Blake, and Kat are the only Top 2 finishers who won’t be there.

Wow a lot of the S7-ers are gonna be there. Yay for DC, DA, Jason and Brooke all being there! =)

I think Freemantle may be raiding youtube again today. DA’s “Imagine” (the one with over 3 million views) was removed (this is the second time it’s happened–the last one removed had over 2 million views), and DA’s “When You Believe” was removed. His audition was removed not too long ago as well. Anybody know of other large-viewed performances removed? Because it’s a shame–I love looking up old performances, especially when contestants sing the same songs.

Yeah, Soundscene, they are. Cook’s Always Be My Baby (the one with the most views at least) was also removed. That’s the only one I noticed, but now I guess I’ll check the others.
I wonder why.

I always download my favorites on my computer that way I always have them. There are other sites than U-Tube where they are posted and most are simple to download. One fan site offers free downloads during the season and then after it’s over she’ll sell you a disc of your favorite Idol and she has them all, even from past seasons. I’ve ordered from her and the only thing I can complain about is that she does and an mp3 audio only disc too and it won’t play in my car stereo. It’s great to playback your favorite performances whenever you want.

Oh, I hope my kids don’t find out about that list of AI contestants showing up for the Disney thing. They’ll force me to drive over there! Luckily – only one of them can read so far LOL.

New Jason bulletin:

Date: Feb 10, 2009 9:48 PM

Subject: Heyooo!

Body: I’m writing from 560, Wolfgang Puck’s newest restaurant in Dallas! I got in town today for a private show and the restaurant is at the hotel weà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re staying at and it’s opening night! So cool! But anyways I was just writing to say that it doesn’t look like date night is gonna make it up tonight we were gonna try a video from up here because weà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re 560 ft up in the air! Hence the name 560… Haha but unfortunately it’s too dark. Bummer!!!

Anyways I can’t wait to chat, the last weekà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s been awesome!

Talk soon,

Jason

Jason’s too funny. Yeah, I kinda hate the dark restaurants. Usually means they’re expensive. Ha!

Actually, I’m reading Jason’s bulletin right now at MySpace. I’m wondering who bothered to correct his misspelling of “resteraunt.”

Yeah, Soundscene, they are. Cookà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Always Be My Baby (the one with the most views at least) was also removed. Thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s the only one I noticed, but now I guess Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll check the others.
I wonder why.

The obvious reason is copyright infringement (which is the reason Freemantle will give), but why not attempt to get rid of most of it then? Why just the largely viewed ones? And why now? I can understand removing videos during the season. If one particular contestant seems to be getting more views on his/her videos it can lead people to believe that he/she is “ahead,” and create an advantage/disadvantage (however you want to view it). But past contestant performances? I see no real point.

Thanks for posting that, Leome. I’m surprised that Ramiele Malubay isn’t on the list. Doesn’t she live in Florida?
