Comments on: Idol Headlines For 8/19/08 http://www.mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-81908.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: jpfan http://www.mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-81908.htm/comment-page-3/#comment-145245 jpfan Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:42:26 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-81908.htm#comment-145245 Unless I'm confused Michael and Elliott having the same deal doesn't mean the same management. Indies get these very complicated deals where different people do all the things that one major label does for you. Unless I'm wrong and is getting the same management. I think he means Red is distributing the record (did the same for E, Constantine and Ace if I remember). I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who cares about topic so I'll stop. :) Unless I’m confused Michael and Elliott having the same deal doesn’t mean the same management.

The concert is in Sunrise - NOT Miami. Sunrise is about 40 miles north of Miami (northwest of Ft. Lauderdale), so they would most likely be flying into Ft. Lauderdale International Airport. They only close airports during a tropical storm if the wind speed exceeds 40 mph. Tropical storm Fay is far far away from Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. Airplanes might have to take a slightly different route to avoid the storm, but there should be no problem at all due to weather or airport closures.

If Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m understanding it correctly, DC was flown to NY again for The Record (unverified) while Archie stayed behind for his video.</blockquote> Based on their past travel schedules, they won't catch a flight until really early Wednesday morning. But since the Miami airport seems clear, I don't think Miami folk should be worried about a Davids-less show.

I don't know, but for some reason she just didn't *bring it* for me on that one song. I don't know if it was her phrasing or maybe the range was beyond her but she did seem to be struggling. It just didn't blow me away unlike the other two songs she sang which I thought really complemented her voice much better.

Maybe those two can tour together. Now THAT would be nifty. But the David Foster thing confuses me, because he thought Elliott was nowheresville, and is supposedly doing something (managing? packaging?) for MJ. So why would he want to put MJ on Elliott's path? I've been hoping that Cook could headline, with Michael and Carly as opening acts, but I doubt that's gonna happen till well into this thing, with 19 helming Cookie and not in the least interested in the other two. Maybe Nigel will leave 19 altogether and they will see the light and become kindler, gentler despots, and... Yeah, not gonna happen.
