In fact, there was supposed to be an opening act for Daughtry here – the Top 10 of Pinoy Idol – but they never showed up.

Sounds like a good concert purplesmile, and you had a good time!

After talking with some folks tonight, I wondering do you know if DC will be alone in the Phillipines? Just thinking about future DC concerts in the USA…

Momo: I don’t understand why Kiki didn’t do better either, except I think people confused both her nervousness and musical confidence with arrogance. She wasn’t as warm and fuzzy as some of the other Idol contestants, and ultimately it was the young’uns who had the most appeal that year.

It’s interesting to me that the judges pretty much avoided putting anyone like Kiki or MindyDoo into the mix this season. I’m curious whether that was very deliberate, or they really didn’t see that kind of more mature soul-oriented singer in the auditions?

Any insight into how the earlier people are cut, before the top tier is scene by the AI judges? Could they have directives about what’s wanted in a particular year — you know: age, ethnicity, music style, certain look, personal backstory?

Hmmmà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦no love for LaKisha here? No wonder she didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t win! Anybody got some feedback on her first album?

The first post was sufficient. If folks want to comment they will. If not, please don’t badger people. Generally, I delete duplicate posts.

David Cook Heading Overseas for Tour

During a radio interview with a Toronto station, David Cook announced his first post-American Idol booking. He’ll be heading overseas to the Philippines.

Web sites are already buzzing with excitement from Cook’s overseas fans. Some of those fans even chat right here on http://www.myfoxkc.com. You can watch the Cook radio interview below…

Donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t even talk to me. Thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s nothing, LOL. I had to stand in 3 inch heel boots for at least 2 hours (through 3 opening acts, none of which were advertised in ANY promo stuff). But the second they launched into their first song, my friend and I knew it was worth it, even as annoyed as weà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d been.

I remember your recap, Sarah. Haha. Yes, so we were lucky then, after all. In fact, there was supposed to be an opening act for Daughtry here – the Top 10 of Pinoy Idol – but they never showed up. I don’t have any idea why. Perhaps the organizers got word that we weren’t exactly excited to see these people. Heh.

He recently visited Los Angeles to lay down some tracks for the set, which is expected out November 19th

wow. if that comes true, then the release here of the album will be on the same day as the release of HP6 in the Philippines.

Hi Momo in chat tonight? Hopefully?

Daughtry made the Manila concert-goers wait for an hour, too. The show was supposed to start at 8, but Daughtry didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t come on stage until it was almost 9.

Don’t even talk to me. That’s nothing, LOL. I had to stand in 3 inch heel boots for at least 2 hours (through 3 opening acts, none of which were advertised in ANY promo stuff). But the second they launched into their first song, my friend and I knew it was worth it, even as annoyed as we’d been.

I wonder if the AI people were kicking themselves for not putting Colbie Caillat through to the judges. I’m glad that they changed their way of thinking or we would not have gotten Brooke and Jason.

Speaking of Jason, I hope that the song he recorded for the movie will be available to purchase next spring. Can’t wait.

Congrats to Lakisha.

I adore Lakisha, and I think she sounds fabulous on the myspace samples. I’ll be first in line in October

In related matters, word back here is that VIP tickets to Cookieà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s upcoming Philippine concert would cost from $200 to $300 each.

Hmm, even in the US, only the most legendary, multi-platinum touring acts can fetch that kind of cash for a face-value ticket. That seems like far too high a price to see a rookie, especially in a country with a relatively lower average wage. I have a hard time believing that these prices are correct. Hopefully, it’s just a rumor.

Made me realize how much I hope that DCs show will be documented. It will likely be the first time heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll perform at least some of his songs publically.

Donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t worry about documentation, Jolene. I bet youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll be overwhelmed. We do love our cameras here and use them, too.

Okay, I guess I got my answer too. I hope for all who want to see him the prices are only a rumor…
