Billboard Interviews from the Set of American Idol Extra http://www.mjsbigblog.com/mega-idol-update-billboard-interviews-from-the-set-of-american-idol-extra.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: lefty http://www.mjsbigblog.com/mega-idol-update-billboard-interviews-from-the-set-of-american-idol-extra.htm/comment-page-2/#comment-219881 lefty Tue, 14 Apr 2009 02:25:15 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/mega-idol-update-billboard-interviews-from-the-set-of-american-idol-extra.htm#comment-219881 You know, I was never a big fan of Syesha myself, although I think she has a fabulous voice. I did think that she was totally underappreciated by the judges much of the time last season. I find it ironic that there was so much emphasis on the "package artist" concept this season, as Syesha is really the ultimate package - drop-dead gorgeous and much more talented than any of the "packages" the judges served up this season. Too bad she didn't wait until season 8 to audition. (not that 3rd place is anything to regret, of course) You know, I was never a big fan of Syesha myself, although I think she has a fabulous voice.

I just don't get Lil. I think Syesha's a great singer, and am glad things are going for her, but I just don't think she should be invited back until/unless she has original music already out for sale. It's a waste otherwise.

She's got a cd out, plus has done charitable stuff with First Lady Laura Bush and has received several accolades (I guess that's the word). And why not even Chris Sligh or Phil Stacey? Chris has done pretty well in Christian music and his one song is being sung by Rascal Flatts. Phil has toured like crazy and has done so well with his patriotic single, reaching out to the military and performed for them overseas. Evenif his cd has not done as well, his songs have done well with those doing fundraisers and such, because they are so positive and encouraging. And he constantly "tweets" about what is going on with his new cd. Seems like many have something against season 6 and its contestants., Agreed that Melinda should be brought back.

I would've LOVED to see Syesha come back and perform. She wrote on her Facebook page that Idol hasn't asked her to come perform which is a bummer. She did say she's working with some grammy award winning producers and writers, so she must have a song she can promote. Maybe she is gonna sing, maybe Idol just hasn't asked her yet, i dunno. Either way, I'd love to see her on that stage again. This is one of those times where I wish VFTW was right. I would’ve LOVED to see Syesha come back and perform.

If it's just a cover, then I'd rather see people who actually have something to promote. Now that Jason has signed with a non-Sony major label... does it mean we can write off him being a guest in AI? Has an idol who has signed with a non-Sony major label ever guested to perform in AI?

It would be a great season for him to sing a dance track. I think the whole vibe this year is current, young and fun. I’d Looove Blake Lewis to come on and sing.

Even though it seems vftw had bad info. I hope Melinda gets to come back.

I just heard from somebody who is in regular contact with Syesha. He's somebody who has slipped me reliable Syesha info in the past, so I know he is legit. According to this source, he contacted Syesha and she told him that she is NOT scheduled to appear on Idol at this time... OK. I just heard from somebody who is in regular contact with Syesha.

That may decide who gets the call. First priority would be 19 artists, then ones likely to pull in the ratings. I'm guessing Pickler was there to try to keep the country fans tuned in. I wonder how compensation works for artists who appear. None? Artists pay to be on due to the "promotion value". AI pays the artists for the ratings boost?

IIRC, that version of the single went on sale on iTunes for charity or something? And his songs got used a bunch of times last season in clips and stuff. But yeah, not the same as a results night performance slot I guess. I'm super surprised about the rumor about Syesha getting a slot. How many slots are there left after Jhud next week? We know Archie's got one. That leaves what, like 4? I agree with everyone who says they should really only give it to Idols with something to promote.
