Dancing’s Maks: Kirstie and I Are Having Fun – Well, tonight’s the big night! It’s going to be a good one. We’re all excited here. I am ecstatic to be with Kirstie again. I kind of knew I would be paired with her again. We’re friends and we talk frequently, so when the All-Stars season came about, she was like, “Do you wanna do this? Do you wanna do this with me? I said, “Yeah, of course!” I have to say, I am happy I only have one partner back. I know a lot of you want Mel back, but the truth is, Mel was never going to be able to do it. She had prior commitments. I’m not upset that she couldn’t come back. There’s nothing to be upset about. She’s doing her thing and I honestly don’t know what I’d be like if I had two partners back and have to see one of them paired with someone else. I don’t know how the other pros are doing it. You grow really attached to someone for three months and it’s gotta be hard seeing them working with someone new now. – Read more at Tv Guide

‘X Factor’ U.K. Auditions Spark Ofcom Investigations – LONDON – U.K. media watchdog is mulling whether or not performances of a Lady Gaga song and a Britney Spears impersonator on Simon Cowell’s The X-Factor may have breached its broadcasting code. The media regulator is launching an investigation into a heavily criticized rendition of Lady Gaga’s hit The Edge of Glory by contestant Alison Brunton. But the investigation is not so much about Brunton but about her two teenage children who watched their mother’s performances from the side of the stage. Ofcom also plans to mount an investigation following audience complaints to an audition by Spears impersonator Lorna Bliss which was broadcast before the 9 p.m. watershed – the time set for adult content to be allowed — on Sept. 9. Bliss performed Spears’ “Till the World Ends” in a white fishnet body stocking, a neon lime green g-string and bra. During her audition, the top half of her body stocking fell down and she straddled judge Louis Walsh at his desk. – Read more at The Hollywood Reporter

    DWTS and The Voice go head to head tonight, in The Voice’s first real test against a competing show that isn’t a rerun. It will be interesting to see the ratings. I think that The Voice might get creamed. lol

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ACMLXLYSSX73RNYQOUZWSO2I4U Enough already!

    I will be watching DWTS as I find this a more entertaining show.  Big big congrats to Tom Bergeren for his Emmy…he does it right.  Besides this way I don’t forget to tune in to Castle, which I really like.

  • fantoo1

    I think that’s what happened last year. They went crashing down once DWTS started.

    Does anyone know if “boxoffice” for Stageit shows is released? I’m curious to see how much Idols can make from these shows.

    Oh, and just to share…

    This week’s Country Weekly has a 2 page spread of Scotty, Kristy Lee Cook has a page in an article on fashion and newcomers, and Bucky Covington has an article about his video.:))

    Looking forward to seeing Adam at the 930 Club in DC tomorrow night for the Marylanders Marriage Equality Benefit concert. I happen to have an extra GA ticket if anyone is interested. 

  • elliegrll

    Dancing With the Stars had more viewers last year, but The Voice had more younger viewers, and had a better rating in that demographic.

    popcrush has a list of their top 10 songs “so far” in 2012. Kelly is at #5 for Stronger and Adam is at #10 for Never Close Our Eyes.

    Nobody sings a classier NA than Javier.  Some of the other guys who can should use a guitar.

  • tripp_ncwy

    I doubt it. The only reason we knew the 15k that Kris raised for his first charity show was because stageit & MEP released it. 

  • lovesickheroine

    Colton’s Never Gone is now available on iTunes and it’s currently at #3 spot on Christian/Gospel genre… I’m still debating on whether I’m gonna buy it though.

  • girlygirltoo

    I doubt it. As far as I know, Billboard doesn’t track online concerts, such as when radio stations or a venue livestream concerts.

  • girlygirltoo

    It’s listed as a “pop” song on iTunes when you type it into the search box — not a Christian/gospel song. which is a little weird although I guess they are trying to expose the song to the widest possible audience

    YT (shot off the video screen at stadium) of Kris singing NA at tonigt’s Seahawks-Packers game. I think the home team has won every time he has performed the NA

    Have to admit, I was grooving on the silver, and hoped it would stick around a little longer.  I’m curious to see what the latest iteration is, however!

    I love the silver too, I’m going to miss it if it’s completely gone.

     Kris does a really nice job with the anthem!

    Kris and Javiar sounded so nice singing the NA. Two talented guys who shouldn’t be without a record label. Arrgh! #lifeisjustnotfair #ihatethemusicindustry

  • tripp_ncwy

    Kris did a great job at the NA.  Glad to see the hug with his fellow Arkansan & good friend DJ Williams at the end.

    A wonderful thing to be a part of. I think it will be a great concert.
