I hoped she would but think her new single sounds too much like an AI coronation song, although sang well. I tried to watch the teen awards but just couldnt. Same for the MTV awards. Definitely teenage tv. Congrats to the winners tho. Congrats to melissa on winning Nashville Star.

Thanks! I don't know why we would think a single from Cook's new album would NOT be released? Don't record companies usually release a single right before the album comes out? Hmmmmmmmm. Cook had Magic Rainbows out as his AI winner single, then Archie put out a single as soon as he could. Seems all is right with the world to ME anyway. Just waiting for albums now. Yes, I felt kinda old watching the Teen Choice show. I knew more of the people than my older sister did though LOL! She didn't know Miley Cyrus was Hannah Montanna until a few days ago...lalala! Also, just a note, I think we've known all along that Cook is one smart cookie.... ANYWAY, thanks for the lovely pics and award updates for our Davids. Just watched the Access Hollywood vid. Thanks!

They're playing it every 1/2 hour as far as I can tell. I'm not sure if its added or this is just a special event. I'm too lazy to look at station logs, etc. You can try Yes. com but I'm not sure Crush is even officially released. I think its a Z100 exclusive.

That's downright terrifying. And darn you Jolene for making me curious :) Honestly, I couldn't read too many of them, because I don't like to spend much time in CrazyTown. But, I'm having trouble deciding which is worse..... over-invested Archie fans who think his music will "change the world" or the anti-fans who think it's cool to release their pent up rage on a 17 year old kid. Some people need to remember it's just a tv show.

I'd like to follow mediabase 24/7 like we used to, but I guess you can't get in there now. I was/am a big Taylor fan, but it's been a long time since he's had anything to track, so I've lost most of my links for that info. Can anyone give me a link or a few links on following the charts? I used to have a couple of really good ones. Unfortunately, I can't even remember the names of them even! lol. I know Kristen is good for the stats and will fill us in on a lot of this, but I do like to poke and nose around myself, lol. Anybody have any good stat links?

Cook will put out radio friendly album and should do very well indeed. However, I don't get how a terrific singer like Archie winning a singing competition would be a bad thing even if he got outsold. Even the heading of Slezak's article is funny - Archie's single is "surpisingly" good. It's generic pop IMHO and just because it isn't an ispirational ballad, Slezak thinks its good. I don't think it's half as good as 90% of the stuff Archie did on the show myself. It's just something they'll play on the radio so that I guess that makes it "good." However,I guess Slezak thought Archie was just too corny to win and he's entitled to that opinion. I think either David would have been a worthy winner and who knows who’ll outsell who at this point.

He was making his judgment based on the music both Davids were performing on Idol. David Cook's performances were radio-ready. Archie's? Not so much. If Archie had won, and then set about recording the kind of music he sang on Idol--there more than likely would have been a replay of Season 5--with Cookie (Daughtry) outselling Archie (Taylor). That sort of scenario would not have been good for the franchise. A perfectly reasonable opinion, I think. As far as David Cook saving the franchise: I think Slezak had a point.

I didn't read the comments but I got annoyed at Slezak during the season because of his implications that the Idol franchise would implode if a real artist like Cook didn't win and a a plastic pageant freak like Archie won instead. I think Idol world would have survived a win by either David just fine. I'm sure Slezak has thick skin from writing about this show for years and will be fine.No excuse for crazy fan comments though (of course.)
