Five Questions on American Idol: Why Has This Season Been So Good So Far? – Whatever doesn’t deafen you makes you stronger: Grantland’s Jay Caspian Kang, Mark Lisanti, and Emily Yoshida have returned, bowed but not broken, to tackle another season of American Idol. It’s been good so far! They’re as surprised as anybody! – Read more at Grantland

‘Smash’ Season 2: Katharine McPhee, Krysta Rodriguez Preview The Retooled Series – As the music starts, the lights come up and beam a frenzy of colors on Katharine McPhee and Krysta Rodriguez. The former is dressed in pink and gold, while the latter decked out in a Lady Gaga-esque ensemble complete with a curly blonde wig. This is a far cry from the glamor of “Bombshell.” “Smash” Season 2 has left the past on the cutting room floor. The new season of the NBC musical series has trimmed the fat — gone are a couple of fan-detested characters and fashions — and added new cast members all in their 20s. Not only that, but there’s a new musical taking shape and it’s the complete opposite of the show based on Marilyn Monroe’s life. Think sexy rock opera. – Read more at Huffington Post

Dear ‘Idol’ Rejects … Don’t Use ME in Legal War!! – In legal docs … the lawyer for the “Idol 9″ cited Jermaine’s premature elimination — which only happened after a background check revealed his prior arrests — as a catalyst for the planned lawsuit. But Jermaine tells us … “I am offended they tried to paint me as a victim of discrimination.” He continues, “I appreciate the experience from ‘Idol’ and embraced the good and bad from it.” – Read more at TMZ

    Really nice – enjoyed that very much (and such a great song).

  • girlygirltoo

    There are several past contestants who could give him a run for his money in that format if they decidde to go in that direction, and got a real promo push, though :)

    I don’t think Kris invited them, there were a few Kris fans tweeting Eber asking him if he was going to the show. He responded to them right before he tweeted to Kris.

    Who, really?? I think P2 is made for the AAA format, can’t think of others.

  • girlygirltoo

    I can. Just off the top of my head: Lee, Crystal, Kris, David C, Brooke, Haley, Heck, Vicci Martinez’s song that she did with Cee Lo is on the AAA charts right now. That chart is no longer confined to just singer-songwriter types, but even if it was, 4 of the last 5 Idol winners fit into that category in one way or another :)

    I listened to Scotty on the Opry last night.  He sounded great and got a huge crowd reception. It was Opry Homecoming night and he and The Band Perry were the headline acts.  It was a great show.

    But in order to get a real promo push, it helps to have a major label and to have the CEO of that label in your corner.

    Scotty’s opening act, Sarah Darling, is so supportive…she was even among those who “rushed” the stage for Scotty last night at the Opry.:))  

    Here’s a montage posted from last night by the Opry…

    Okay, I’m thinking we’re going to be hearing new music from Scotty next weekend when his tour starts…he’s rehearsing for the tour today (recorded for the album the last three days)…

    I wonder if they will be the backup singers for some of his songs.

    “Okay, I’m thinking we’re going to be hearing new music from Scotty next weekend when his tour starts…he’s rehearsing for the tour today (recorded for the album the last three days)…”——————

    That´s really great news and a joy to my ears. I´m almost starving for new Scotty songs. Have listend so much to the old ones I can sing along by now.  Can´t wait for next week

    My gut feeling says no…I think the McCreery’s like being in the background…but it really is special for Scotty to have them sing on the album–can’t wait.:))

    I like how he likes to involve family and friends with his different projects. Like when he used his high school friends for his TTWG music video and when he used his hometown for his Water Tower Town video.

    By the way, a teen magazine…

    Scotty is really a nice and considerate young man.  Looks like he has received his values from his parents and he is living up to them. It may be why he has fans of different ages  and they are so very loyal to him. Everybody recognises the type of person he is and the one he will become.

    So far, it doesn’t look like being famous has affected him at all.

    Thank you MJ and Incipit! Someone posted about the interview on Twitter too.
    Incipit, that banter story from Baton Rouge is incredibly funny! Imagine that happening to you/me, someone saying that about you/me:-) I believe I would have started to laugh out aloud, though!

    I’ve gotten the idea that David is known for great banter in his concerts, so many video clips, but often the sound is so poor with people screaming etc. that I don’t hear well enough to get the point.

    Does anyone have an idea if he will have a concert during the Race for Hope weekend in DC?
