VH1’s Jim Shearer (VJ/host) is introducing LLWD (#8) video and tells the story about the Ben Savage Tweet. He then says, “Kris, Ben was probably thinking the same thing – “Don’t freak out, Kris Allen – “Don’t freakout Kris Allen” “You’re a big star now baby!!!”

Oh, I love that. But, of course that is why so many people love you – Humble Kris.
The one other thing that I like about Kris winning Idol is also the plenty opportunities for him to see and meet all these people that he’s seen on TV, concerts, etc before he became “Kris Allen”

Cool! Yes, baby, you are!!

See if you can see this. It’s from Danny’s twitter. (I don’t follow him, but someone retweeted it.)

None of my business but, when he’s happily remarried??………

Diane, thanks for the VH1 reminder and link. I hope Jim Shearer (VJ) says something awesome for Kris’ video intro like he did last week!!! For those of you who missed the show it went something like this:

Thanks, Diane, for the tattoo picture. It’s um…big! Ok, it’s bad. I think I actually like my son’s better! I understand the sentimental meaning of it, but no, just no. Some day, Danny you will regret that. Yikes. But hey, like he cares what we all think?! And as long as he doesn’t walk around in that wifebeater t-shirt, we won’t have to look at it either!

ITA! I’m just shocked. It’s weird…there’s not a good word to describe it! hee hee

Thanks for the vh1 reminder to vote. Don’t mind if I do!

SarahP, long time no see!

Did you see Danny’s new tattoo? It’s huge.

yep! seen it and did not like it, but who cares what i think? its his arm, his choice!

To me, Kris and Adam both have the potential to score well with quite substantial niche markets today, or, possibly for either or both of them, even with a fairly chunky mainstream market. Whether either will really do that or not is totally up in the air, of course, but both do music that seems to have a solid *chance* to attract a significant, growing, and current music audience, seems to me. (Allison, too, actually, and, if Danny is accepted by country audiences, Danny, too)

Honestly, the most dicey-to-market-longer-term of the top season 7 and 8 finishers seems to me to be Archie. I don’t see his wonderful strengths as really counting for much in the pop market, so it would seem to me he’ll almost have to carve out some niche all to himself to make it, and I’m not entirely sure what that niche would be. I could easily seem him going some Josh Groban-y-type route and doing brilliantly, actually, but I wonder whether he and the label would go for something like that. … Maybe the Christmas album is evidence that they would?

To me, Cook is the surest bet of the whole S7 and S8 to get a solid, mainstream, current audience. But I still see Kris, Adam, Danny, Allison, and possibly Archie (and even Castro) having a good potential shot at that. So none of them seems to be in real danger of droppage at this point, to me, anyway. Hope that’s true and not just my wishful thinking.

Regarding remixes. They are HUGE at clubs. FYE could become a club hit. There are some good beats there to dance to

.

On one of the station here (Chicago), they did a remix for KOL “Use Somebody” and Kelly’s “Already Gone”. Just seems wrong. I think some songs are not meant to be club songs. Those two songs in particular sounded soooo strange with techo beats!!!
