    Louisiana swept up in Mardi Gras

    …In the New Orleans area, no fewer than three parades a day will be held in the lead-up to Mardi Gras. Some parades will have celebrity faces, from members of the New Orleans Saints football team to actor James Gandolfini, the king of the Krewe of Bacchus, which parades Sunday night, and American Idol winner Taylor Hicks, set to lead the Krewe of Endymion super-parade today. Krewes are private organizations that pay for the parades…

    Pickler, a native of Albemarle, N.C., was a finalist in the fifth season of “American Idol.” Her first album “Small Town Girl” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. Pickler also was the best selling new solo country artist of 2006.

    Sineta Roker is eliminated on ‘Idol’

    The secret that R&B singer Sineta Roker carried around since November à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’  whether she advanced through the Hollywood round of “American Idol” to the finals à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’  was revealed on Tuesday’s broadcast. She didn’t. Roker’s airtime on “American Idol” was short and limited, especially considering producers could’ve played up the fact she’s related to both Al Roker and Lenny Kravitz. Sineta Roker plans to keep pursuing opportunities in the entertainment industry, including singing, modeling and TV work.

    NAMES & FACES


    Familiar Face No. 2 on ‘Idol’

    Looks like Catholic University student Antonella Barba will have some competition from another local on “American Idol.”

    Lakisha Jones ,27, a Flint, Mich., resident who listed Fort Meade as her home town at the time of her audition, also made the show’s top 24 and will duke it out for the top prize. Jones wowed the judges with her rendition of Aretha Franklin ‘s”Think” during her New York audition. She later earned a soft spot in viewers’ hearts during the Hollywood auditions when she tearfully said she’d have no regrets if she didn’t make it to the next round. But she did!

    The University of Michigan grad says she looks up to former “A.I.” winner Fantasia Barrino because she’s also a single mother (Jones’s tot, Brionne , is 3). On the “Idol” Web site, Jones lists her bra strap breaking during the auditions in Hollywood as her most embarrassing moment. “I pretty much give it to you as it is,” she says in her introduction video. “What you see is what you get.”

    KT breaks into US market to become an American Idol

British songwriter David Gray had some American success with his breakthrough album White Ladder, but received a major boost across America in 2002 when the song Silver Lining was covered by blues singer Bonnie Raitt. The US star’s version got wide main-stream airplay and lifted Gray’s name in America.

    Hunt, a 24-year-old Chicagoan, is one of the final 12 women taking the stage on the Fox talent show Wednesday (the final dozen men perform Tuesday, and live eliminations begin Thursday).

    Are you the next washed-up Idol?

    Stop it. Please, stop it. Please stop auditioning for “American Idol.”

    You’re making the rest of us feel guilty. Guilty for gawking at thousands of hopeless, talentless Americans being duped into thinking they’re worthy talents. Guilty of making hours of televised karaoke a top-rated show. Guilty of laughing at you.
    Do you really think that some witty reality show producer needs to pack a basketball arena full of 10,000 wannabes only to find 17 marginal talents? You’re being used.
    You could be the next American Idol. . . . No, you can’t. You have a better chance of matching the six Powerball numbers pulled out of a hopper tonight.
    The fact of the matter is that in every other vocal class across America, there’s a doe-eyed, 17-year-old girl with beautiful flowing hair that has enough of a voice to become the next American Idol.
    Any Hollywood agent worth his gold chains could sign one of these women, match her up with an award-winning music writer, hire a voice coach, rent some time in a recording studio with a top-notch producer, digitize her, overdub her, do her hair, buy a wardrobe of silk and sequins, stage a photo shoot, and throw her into the finals of “American Idol” where she’d look just like Kelly Clarkson, or Carrie Underwood, or Fantasia, and probably get enough 1-888 votes to send Taylor Hicks back to Hicksville…

    Thanks for the links, Lisa B. I enjoyed the KT Tunstall article. Ironic that she got success in the U.S. due to Kat singing it on a show format that KT doesn’t like. I’m sure she’s feeling more kindly to it now.

    I just wanted to say that your next new successful Idol country star will be Bucky Covington. His video to A Different World is fantastic. He walks, sings and looks like a leggy, lanky, gorgeous hair and the cowboy voice. They veneered his teeth and he looks exactly like a country star. Bucky will be around for a long time.

    I wish I could watch Grey’s Anatomy because of the great drama and relationships but I can’t. I can’t watch any medical shows what so ever. They remind me of work and I am trying to escape from work when I watch TV.

  • Metta

    Folk – My feelings exactly about KT and ***.

    Dingo – Yes, I watched it. Knowing she won’t die, diluted the drama for me. But, yes, Patrick Dempsey did a good job of conveying the character’s grief. Less convincing was Christina’s sudden revelation that Meredith is her “person”. Felt a little too contrived to wring more tears out of the viewers.

  • thedingoateyobaby

    They remind me of work and I am trying to escape from work when I watch TV.

    When you work in the health field its difficult to escape work. there is death and dying all around. Who has cancer who has heart disease etc. With all the fucking pharmaceutical ads on TV you couldnt escape it if you wanted to but Grey’s Anatomy is a great show. ER lost its luster for me years ago and I loved Chicago Hope but they pulled it.

  • thedingoateyobaby

    Awwww metta, I love Christina. I think she had a “moment”, a feeling that something had gone wrong and thats what they were trying to portray on the show when she kept asking for Meredith. A premonition if you will.

    Like I said, Im not a big fan of McDreamy but he was wonderful last Thursday. Oh, face it. Im a big fuckin’ baby is what I am. I cry when I read the ingredients on my box of count dracula.

    My husband’s a physician but he used to watch ER religiously and now never misses an episode of HOUSE. He thinks the medical aspect of the show is ludicrous–though he has a pretty good track record of diagnosing some of the cases before the answers are revealed–but enjoys the House character.

    Hey Dingo, I’m actually jealous of the birds cause they have a “hot tub”. Was watching them yesterday and went online to look for a local hotel with a hot tub to go spend the night. I talked to my Mom yesterday and my Dad was complaining that “it was colder than a well digger’s ass (southern saying)” in Tampa cause it was 40 something degrees. I almost threw the phone into the fireplace. I’d pay good money for 40 something degrees.

    Metta, silly me – I forgot about hunting license age requirements.

  • Lu

    I’m embarrassed to say that I’d never even heard Tunstall’s song until Kat did it on AI. My station never played it. After I heard Kat sing it, I went on a missions to find it because I really liked it AND now my station does play it. I guess it helped Tunstall out with those of us that are a little behind the curve. That bing said, I thought it was dumb that she was on the floor and the firs thing I thought was that she was trying to be Fantasia. I didn’t like Fantasia but I did like her rendition of Summertime and for some reason floor singing seemed to fit that song.

    Oh I love her too. I don’t want them to make her too nicey nice, that’s all. Like the conflict with Burke. Their relationship sometimes smacks of the Taming of The Shrew. Remember during their cold war, as soon as she broke down and spoke to him first, he proposed to her. Strange message there. Plus, Isiah Washington sucks donkey balls.

    I was reading yesterdays thread, and there were several mentions about a situation that involved Taylor, Elliott and a security guard. Can somebody please fill me in on what happened. I don’t think I ever heard about that. Thanks in advance. :)

    I remember Boo-Berry, Metta.

    I almost threw the phone into the fireplace. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d pay good money for 40 something degrees.

    Debbi, seems that its “cold” all over the country but OUR cold and THEIR cold are worlds apart.

    Metta, IMHO, House is the best show on TV followed by Grey’s Anatomy.

    I got a “thing” for greg House. A big one.

    he better leave my George alone or ahm gonna kick his ass.

    Seriously. I read a rumor that TR Knight was considering leaving the show. Hope that’s false because his character and Miranda Bailey are my absolute faves.

    Liz – I only know what I read here. A regular poster here met a friend of Tay’s on another (non-AI) blog before he even auditioned for Idol. She said that E’s bodyguard was treating him badly and that Taylor stepped in to defend E, words were exchanged. The speculation is that that guard may be the source for the Diva article.

  • squishy

    My mother is a nurse and watches Grey’s Anatomy religiously but I personally can’t do that. Anything medical in terms of a show turns me off. I rather watch AI, movies, news. There may be death and dying all around us but I can’t watch contrived medical shows. Reality is fine. That is just me. I wish I could watch Grey’s Anatomy though. It is a great show.

  • Liz

    Oh, thanks Metta. I hate feeling like I’m out of the loop. ;)

    “Maybe I should send him a BunnyGram for Easter? Is that too stalkerish?”

    I think you should definitely send a BunnyGram. But you should also include a T-shirt with a picture of the back end of a male donkey and “Love, guess who” on the bottom.

    i always wonder how kt tunstall can have her success ATTRIBUTED TO KATà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦when Kat only sang her song that week because she was ALREADY A TOP TEN HIT.

    wow. i see the logic there.

    Because Billboard has a LOT of top 10 charts and they are not nearly equal in terms of exposure. Sure, KT was having some success before Kat sang it on idol. But it was certainly a great deal for her in getting it heard by a lot of people who had never heard it before. Maybe it would have eventually picked up as much as it did on its own, but there is no guarantee and even if it did, the exposure on idol certainly sped things up.

  • Lu

    Mornin Metta!

    Do any of you happen to know what the link is that Kirsten posts showing AC charts. I know it’s mediabase but I can only find top 40 and country. I found one AC list but it only went to #30. She posted the link for me when I was at work and I added it to my favorites there but want to do the same here at home…

  • Metta

    Good morning Lu :)

    Wish I could help you out re. the link. Someone else will know.

    Thanks Allen!

    I got this piece of information from The Official Soul Patrol Board ( a forum Taylor says he reads ) :

    Amazing how little it took to find the REAL source for this so called DIVA story purpertrated FIRST by STAR and then MSNBC in which they called TAYLOR a DIVA while ON AMERICAN IDOL during the Season Five. Oh yeah? Wellà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦Looks like Star took an article from April 2006 and changed the name, SIMILIAR headline!!

    Silly. That’s story isn’t even remotely similar to the recent Star story, except that it’s got the word “Diva” in it. I think that poster is grasping at straws.

  • aek

    Lu,

    This is the post from the woman who knows Taylor. A poster on this board said that this was posted on a non-idol board where she had known this lady for several years:

    à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Nah, doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t sound like him to me. He is incredibly focused, and has little patience for idiots, but I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think anyone who knows him would describe him as either conceited or cold.

    Taylor definitely falls into the great guy category, but heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s by no stretch perfect. heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s got a bit of a temper, but it doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t come out of a sense of self-entitlement or conceit – ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s just a run-of-the-mill temper.

    I remember during the show he had trouble with one of the bodyguards. he was assigned to elliot and he really gave elliot a hard time. basically a total jackass and treated elliot like shit. taylor stuck up for elliot and he and the bodygaurd exchanged words.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ 

  • mississippigirl

  • Kirsten

    Just a minor note on those charts Allen posted, there is actually a bit of mixing going on. The AC chart link is for all monitored stations and the Hot AC chart link is the published chart (a sub-set of the monitored stations…I suspect that it is more representative of the entire US market. Mediabase does not monitor all stations).

    What difference does it make? Usually not much. But here is an example:

    Monitored stations:
    75 Katharine McPhee “Over It”
    82 Elliott Yamin “Movin On”

    Published Chart:
    73 Katharine Mcphee “Over It”
    78 Elliott Yamin “Movin On”

    You can tell by the format= value.
    a1M is monitored AC
    a1R is published AC.
    a2M is monitored Hot AC
    a2R is published Hot AC

    So, to be consistent, one might want to use a1M and a2M or a1R and a2R.

  • hapi

    Re Black HorseCT song and Kt.
    Before Kat sang it, I was getting tired of it, because the AC station here was playing it constantly. The radio station LOVED it so very much, and always commented on it. Don’t know about other areas, but I live in California and it was playing on AC and the rock stations here before AI did it…a LOT.

    Trivia…if you locate the orig. recording of SMOKESTACK LIGHTNING by HOWLIN’ WOLF
    you hear that woooo hoooo phrase/chorus, that KT (or the arranger) inserted into the song exactly like Howlin’ Wolf did it. I wonder if she (or the arranger)had heard that old arrangement. As an old blues fan, The first time I heard Black Horse CT, I thought of Howlin’ Wolf’s song.

    AEK – I need the name and number of the bodyguard that mistreated Elliott… we need to have a chat.

  • Lu

    Thanks Kirsten! Boy you people are smart…

  • thedingoateyobaby

    Miss, I love ya hon but really, I think you have an over active imagination. The only people who know who Dingo is are MJ’s and a few from GC’s and some from VFTW. If Taylor doesnt read MJ’s (the bastard) then he wont have a clue who Dingo is or what we have been talking about for months now. He wont know about the batcave or about the decoder ring or about the bunny slippers or the now famous…Taylor….call me! line or (and this is a good thing) that I think his CD sucks donkey balls.

    Still, one way or another I gotta get him to sign the bunny slippers. Its a matter of principle now. I figure between the Go Phone and the texting and the phone voting and the time I wasted watching Dial Idol stats and the money spent on the freaking Idol tour and the rib dinner I never really wanted but ordered just to buy time to see the idols and he wasnt there and the SP hoodie that cost me $40.00 (which BTW is the warmest hoodie I ever owned so its not a total waste) and the SP TShirt I bought(that I will never wear) and that fucking DIMYP CD and the Taylor Hicks CD (4 of them) and the ridicule I had ta take from friends and family over my obsession over Taylor and finally, the fucking Pop Tart that stalked me….well, I figure he owes me THAT much at least.

    As a follow up to what you said late last niteà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.

    Taylor is supposed to come on my local Fox news in a moment to say what he thinks about Chris Slighà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Fro Patroà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦is this on everyoneà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Fox news or is it because I live in Slighà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s local area.

    I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think we get it outside SC. So, what did Taylor say ? Inquiring minds want to know.

    They teased us….all Taylor said was that if his hair keeps growing out, he could join the “fro patro”.

I wasn’t planning to at first, but then, via Baxter, I got a lead on a great ticket over at the Boogie Board (5th row, dead center). The Boogie Boarders’ enthusiasm is so infectious.

    OK, here is a music quiz to take based on your personality. Im not sure about this one. Here are my results….

    Based on your responses, you scored above average on the edgy and aggressive music-preference dimension. Research in our laboratory indicates that people high on this dimension, like you, often have the following characteristics:

    People with high scores on the energetic and aggressive music-preference dimension tend to enjoy taking risks and engaging in thrilling experiences. They also tend to be dominant, imaginative, and energetic. They tend to be politically liberal, and believe that freedom, independence, and excitement are important aspects of life. When it comes to lifestyle, lovers of edgy and aggressive music, tend to come from the middle to lower classes. As for media entertainment, they’re likely to enjoy watching action, science fiction, fantasy, war, and horror movies.

    This was VERY true..
    They tend to be politically liberal, and believe that freedom, independence, and excitement are important aspects of life.

    This was not..

    Metta did your DH get you Anne to watch?

  • Metta

    85% Supergirl. 85% Wonder Woman. Whoa!

    Guess we know who wears a push-up bra.

  • Metta

    Hezz – No! I crashed early last nite. He’s at the hospital all day today. Maybe tonight. *crosses fingers*

  • Lu

    Oh that super hero quiz… We did it at work. I wanted so badly to be Wonder Woman and I ended up being Robin. I can’t believe I’m admitting it. I’m still getting a bunch of grief at work. Holy embarrassment!

  • hezzer19

    I am watching right now Metta. Finn save me I LOVE THESE MOVIES.

    *already weeping in anticipation of the sad part that doesn’t happen for about 3 hours*

    Edited to add…Lu you really are the sweetest thing. lol Robin.

  • Metta

    I wanted to be so badly to be Wonder Woman and I ended up being Robin.

    Okay, that may be worse than my father nicknaming me Moose. Whew!

    Hezz – You’re just a big ole softie, aren’t you?

  • hezzer19

    Metta shhhh. Don’t tell.

    I want someone to watch with me.

    Wait…Britney shaved her head?

  • Metta

    Hezz – Bring a copy to Boston. We’ll watch it in our room after the concert :)

  • hezzer19

    Metta it’s a 12 hour miniseries lol. How much time do you have?

  • Metta

    Hezz – Sleep is for sissies. lol

    Okay, I gotta hop off. See you all later.

    Another Van Morrison gem.

    “And The Healing Has Begun”.

  • mississippigirl

    This Britney Spears thing is really disturbing. Where is her mother? How sad that she has 2 small children. If she keeps this behavior up, I can see K-Fed with all his stupidity being a better parent. Again, where is her mother? I don’t care how much money, power or how many of her family she has on payroll…NOTHING would keep me from yanking her up and sitting her down for a good chewing out. If that didn’t work, I’d have her committed so fast her now bald head would spin and I wouldn’t care how long she protested. It’s a shame.

    So Al Green,Styx, and Journey with Taylor in the Superdome tonight. I don’t think Steve Perry plays with Jpurney any more.

Oh, is he playing here tonight? How interesting, cause I happen to have a pair of bunny slippers in my purse for him to sign should I ever run into him on the street.

  • folk

    what is wrong with ironman???

    someone should talk to britney about birth control. it was invented for her.

    she needs a wake up call.

    she does not need to be a responsible parent because she can pay people to do eveything, unlike the rest of the population. for her…the kids are mere accessories.

  • mississippigirl

    A good wake up call would be somebody taking her kids away from her. not her own mother, cause it’s obvious she’s not fit either.

  • Lu

    Mad – Thanks for trying to make me feel better about being Robin… even though everyone knows Robin is a dork. :)

    The girls and I are cleaning house today so I have to jump off for a while but I did want to share this with you before I go. We’ve stripped all the beds and put the sheets at the top of the stairs. My oldest daughter just said “Wow, Momma, look at that big pile of sheet!” It was all I could do to contain myself… She has no idea how funny she was.

    I’d be willing to call someone before and after with an update, however…

  • mississippigirl

    Well, I nominate CarieB, since she’s not really there to see Taylor…she can concentrate on Dingo better. :) or Hezzer, since we know she ain’t fangirly.

    I hadn’t thought about that little pink flushing toliet in years. OK, I admit I was fascinated by it, too. If I remember correctly, when you opened the lid it forced the water to “flush”. I think it disappeared into the “tank”. When you closed the lid, the water came back into the bowl.

    I didn’t really hate barbie. But I was more into creating things for her than dressing her. My dad smoked a pipe, so he used lots of matches. I saved the match boxes, glued them together, painted them and made a “dresser’ for her clothes and shoes. I painted a cardbord box and “wallpapered” the inside with striped wrapping paper. I cut out windows and glued hard plastic to the openings to make the glass for the windows. I even glued green shutters to the outside of my house. That was a much more interesting way to spend my time than dressing her.

  • madaboutu

    Hey all……..apparently Taylor sang a song with Journey last night. Don’t know which song it was but here is a reminder of Journey…..

    Oh, I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t know if anyone has posted it yet, but there is an announcement on Boà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s myspace that he will be playing at the Exit/In in Nashville next Friday night. Thought those in the area might like to know. I totally wish I could go. I have STILL never seen Bo live.

    Thanks for the info. I wish I could go.

    Bo is incredible live. He moves around the stage and uses a lot of energy. It is interesting to watch guys at his concert who were probably “dragged” there by their GF or wife. Before the concert some of them act like they don’t want to be there. But after Bo starts singing you see them really getting into the concert. At the last Bo concert that I went to in Charlottesville, there was an obnoxious guy behind me yelling before Bo started that he would rather see the girl from the opening act again. I turned around and glared at him. A few minutes later he was standing up and dancing and singing along to Bo’s concert.

    I hope Bo gets signed to another label and gets to go on tour soon.

    DeDeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦..is Taylor singing with Al Green, or are they performing separately at the Ball? They would be great together, but it seems I read that there are as many as 20 performers in a night. I think Huey Lewis is another. Anyway, Taylor is with LiMBO and Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll bet people will love them, no matter what.

    I don’t know that Taylor is performing with anyone except his band. But being the student of music history that he is, I would think that he would love to perform with someone like Al Green. Just like he obviously enjoyed performing with Gladys Knight.

  • MaryS-NJ

    Kat – I hope you feel bettter soon. I’ve been sick which that stomach bug for a week. It’s nasty. You’ll be all better in time to see Taylor!

    I am having the best afternoon.

    Curled up on my comfy chair under a blanket, pot of coffee on the table, laptop (oddly enough) on lap and Anne of Green Gables on my television.

    Finn I love Anne of Green Gables.

    ————————————–
    I love, love, love, Anne of Green Gables. My hubby took me to Prince Edward Island one year for our anniversary and we went to see areas of the island where the author lived, etc. Went into the haunted woods that she wrote about. I heart Matthew.

  • Metta

    weelassie and hezz – Don’t spill any plot secrets! I plan on watching this tonite.

    Griz – I LOVE those photos of Tay. Can you get your hands on more of them? They’re from my favorite interview of his, the one with the Celebrity Babylon guy, Billy Francesca.

    Cam – lol!

  • hezzer19

    I’m fine Sarah.

    Anne of Green Gables does this to me every time. Best movies EVER.

  • http://www.idolicious.com Kat

    Thanks for the well-wishes, guys! I took a nap and I feel really, really good. AND my appetite is coming back, too. There is a great Chinese place just around the corner from here that will do steamed meals, and I think some noodles and steamed broccoli might just be the perfect end to the night. ;-)

  • pj

  • SEXYGIRL

    Question. What time does the Daytona 500 start tomorrow? Kellyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s performing before it starts, and Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m pretty sure ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s going to be televised.

    I saw the other Kellie on tv. She was peforming her single “red high heel” and she also sang the National Athem but I missed that one. She looked so cute. Her hair is still short and was curled. I will catch Kelly tomorrow. I will be watching the Daytona 500.

    Cam, no one can say the Taylor’s fans don’t have great sense of humor. That was too funny..

  • hezzer19

    Kirsten lol. The Beach Combers omg!!

    Honest to Finn there has NEVER been a better miniseries made. Kevin Sullivan is a genius. Even Road to Avonlea was amazing. And Megan Follows??? Brilliant.

  • DeDe

    I just visited Bo’s Myspace. I really enjoyed watching the clip of him singing Gimmie Back My Bullets with Lynyrd Skynyrd in a video that is on his page.

    http://www.myspace.com/bobice

    Last summer Bo performed with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams, Jr., and 3 Doors Down in a VH1 Classic concert special. I would have loved to have seen that concert in person. I couldn’t even watch it when it aired on TV because I don’t have the VH1 Classic channel. :wallbash_tb:

    There is also a video of Valley of the Angels, one of the few songs he wrote that CLive allowed him to put on his CD. I really like that song.

  • pj

    Hezz, I read the Anne of Green Gables series when I was a kid, but I’ve never watched them. Good?

  • hezzer19

    Kat I totally missed the post where you said you were sick. Feel better.

  • pj

    I was able to get the Ace video at Billboard at this link:

    http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/video/underground.jsp

    Thanks for the heads up, Star! I really like it when he does the acoustic version of Scattered. I’m tired of the original version. Good interview, but nothing terribly new. Someone needs to tell him that the calendar is sold out. :)

    ETA: The interviewer seemed taken with him, lol. Great promo for him.

  • pj

    Dede, that’s one of the only songs I liked on Bo’s CD. It felt real.

  • http://www.myspace.com/swood1104 Sarah

    So today is definitely the day of cheesy girl movies for me. Now I am watching 10 Thing I Hate About You. Heh.

  • pj

    Sarah, I love that movie. I’m watching Muriel’s Wedding. I’m about to go meet a friend for coffee and then meet another one for dinner.

  • pah

    I might be late, but I’m SUPERMAN!!!!! Whoooo. Though Batman has always been my fav. What about The Green Hornet. Now there’s a Super Hero.

    Yep! VOA was the “real thing” ( pun intended). Hopefully he gets a chance at another CD that has more of his “real” music on it.

  • CarieB

    pj – I loved Muriel’s wedding! I like Toni Collette a lot – in fact we rented Little Miss Sunshine last night and she was excellent in it. That movie was good, too!

  • Tracy

    pj, I love the acoustic version of Scattered, as well. And the Billboard thing is great promo. I thought he sounded good on all the songs.

    He mentioned yesterday that he was going to be in the recording studio all night and that the CD will be out in about two months. I can’t wait to hear his new music. :)

  • pj

    carieb, It’s so good. I am going to have to pause it and watch the rest later. Her father just found her. I loved Little Miss Sunshine as well.

    Thanks for the link. Although, I am mainly a Bo and Taylor fan, I really hope Ace does well. I met him after one of the AI concerts. I was really impressed with how he came out after the concert and interacted with the crowd. He has great PR skills and seems like a really nice person.

    The sound was much better on the 2nd link. Thanks for finding a different link. It was so bad on the YouTube link that I couldn’t listen. I am happy for Paris to have a new video. She looks cute and she has a great voice. But it just adds to my frustration that Taylor doesn’t have a video.

  • Tracy

    He didn’t mention anything about a label, just that the album would be out in two months.

  • http://www.myspace.com/swood1104 Sarah

    PJ – I do love my teenybopper movies. They’re my guilty pleasure. LOL.

    Muriel’s Wedding is a great movie too. I haven’t seen Little Miss Sunshine though. My roommates LOVE it though. They keep telling me that I need to see it.

    I also love Valley of Angels the best on Bo’s cd too. There are only a few songs on there that I like – makes me sad because I LOVE Bo.

    Random question – there was a link on yahoo either yesterday or Thursday that had individual pics of all the AI6 finalists that were different than the ones on the scary boards. Has anyone seen those and/or remember where they are?

  • dave

    K2 thanks for the Paris link. I’m not sure if I like the song but I love her voice. She was my favorite top 10 female last season. She can smokey anytime she wants. I’ll bet the song will grow on me like the way some other top 40 stuff.

  • http://www.myspace.com/swood1104 Sarah

    Kat – I hope you’re feeling better!

    Also, I was going to tell you, I’d love to meet up with you before Tay’s Orlando concert. Just let me know if you’d like to. :) Are you going with friends or by yourself?

  • pj

    Sarah, I love teenybopper movies, too. I think we’ll get along just fine when you’re here. ;)

    DeDe, I love Bo, too. I would love to see him live. I will someday. :)

  • http://www.myspace.com/swood1104 Sarah

    Kirsten – Thanks for the link to Paris’s video. I LOVE her voice, and she was one of my favorites last season. I just wish she had waited a couple more years to audition. She would have blown everyone else out of the water.

  • jpfan

    Thanks for the Paris video. I actually thought both her songs were pretty good. I think her problem will be that she’s not “sexy” enough for the current music scene. But she sounds very good. Her management is pretty solid – manages Dionne Warwick, Ashanti, etc. I thought she was pretty bad on tour though. Didn’t like her dancing.

  • dave

    I think weà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll get along just fine when youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re here. ;)

    Hezzer! I love the Anne movies! This is one of the rare times when a book comes to life! I always wished they would do an Emily series. I actually liked those books more.

  • http://www.myspace.com/swood1104 Sarah

    For anyone who likes Leslie Hunt – apparently she is featured as #5 on EW’s pre-top 24 rankings. Good stuff. :)

  • LakesideUK

    Thanks for the Paris link, Kirsten.

    I loved Paris at the beginning of Idol but I kind of knew that’s the direction she’d go. 30 seconds into each song and I wanted to rip my ears off.

    Not for me. :sad_tb:

  • sammy

    Imagine if Paris had tried out this season. She seems so much better than what I’ve heard so far. Of course, I haven’t really heard all that much.

  • dave

    IGetCranked-I’m Naughty By Nature. Actually its a cry for attention that is being ignored. :frown_tb:

    I thought I would be sick the night Paris was acting like Beyonce. It seemed like a little girl playacting to me. :( I loved her audition.

  • jpfan

    I looked at Idol Chatter and quite a few of top 24 have degrees in voice/music. Many have been involved with theatre groups/boy bands/toured etc. Lakeisha (for ex.) is classically trained. I think most of the them have college degrees. I think they will all be adequate and no one will be a joke. Of course, they’re all a blur to me. I hate to say it, but Paris still sounds better than any of the girls I’ve heard this year.

    …The Krewe of Endymion, one of Carnival’s best known groups, was set to march Saturday afternoon with “American Idol” winner Taylor Hicks in the lead. The salt-and-pepper-haired singer was to perform later that evening with Al Green and Journey at Endymion’s sold-out ball at the Superdome.

    Hicks said he got a little advice from krewe members about what to do with the beads: “They told me to throw ‘em til it hurts,” he said. “Which is what I plan on doing.”…

    Not used to seeing them presented like that but I hope I’ve ordered them okay. Separated the top six boys and girls.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve called the top 6 guys; the girls I’m not so sure. I’m hoping Leslie will sneak in there for a start. It will be interesting to see the odds change after the first performances…well, it will if you’re a bit of a geek like me :blush_tb:

  • mississippigirl

    Sarah…My vet isn’t open this afternoon, so I thought I would try my virtual vet, DogDoc. :) My Lab, who is only 5, seems to be having a urinary problem. I took a sample in the other day after she had an accident while ASLEEP! They said she didn’t have an infection and maybe she just drank too much that day. Well, it just happened again, on my sofa…again while she was asleep. Something ain’t right and I’m concerned.

  • CarieB

    Squishy – she has places in Malibu and Beverly Hills, but the head-shaving incident took place in Sherman Oaks, so it’s got to be even hotter there.

  • madaboutu

    CarieB………I am on the westside near the Marina and am sitting in the house with AC on instead of out enjoying the weather. But, actually, I see some fog rolling in right now, so it will cool down on the coast. We are so spoiled.

  • http://www.myspace.com/swood1104 Sarah

    Lakeside LOL. I am a “geek” like that too. Those must be new, cause the ones I saw earlier had Leslie ranked higher.

    I’m not surprised about the guys they’ve called for the top 12 either… although for me, Rudy and Phil are kind of interchangeable. I think one or the other will make it. It will just depend on performances.

    The girls, I’m kind of skeptical. We’ve seen almost nothing of either Sabrina or Stephanie, yet they have them ranked above Leslie and Gina? Once again though… since we’ve seen so little of most of them, it will depend on the performances.

  • squishy

    Very interesting that the 2 people who I picked to be in the finals are the same 2 with the best odds: Chris Sligh and Lakisha thus “The Personality vs The Powerhouse.”

    But Vegas odds at this point last year had Ace with the best odds then later Chris. They were way off.

  • thedingoateyobaby

    Miss, I looked it up on the net and most sites refer to what they called classical spay incontinence and its not all that uncommon it seems..

    Is your “baby” a girl?

  • squishy

    Britney is officially loco.

  • DogDoc

    Mississipigirl

    Is your lab a spayed female? She may be incontinent. Before a dog is presumed incontinent a complete physical exam, urinalysis, bloodwork and radiographs should be done to make sure there is no underlying metabolic issues. Kidney, adrenal, infection, urinary stones, etc can all cause increase in urination. Urinating while a- sleep sounds like urinary incontinence which can occur in spayed female dogs and is treatable, but you want to make sure it is not something more serious.

  • mississippigirl

    yes, Dingo. Thank you. Actually my vet said the other day that some female dogs have had this problem occur years after they were spayed. It’s supposedly a hormone thing. Where did you see that info?

  • mississippigirl

    DogDoc!!!! Thank you!!!! I was typing to Dingo when you were answering me. Thankyouthankyouthankyou. I’m taking her in first thing Monday morning. You have made me feel so much better. :) And my vet did say that if it happened again to bring her in because they could do so much more checking than just from the sample I took.

  • DogDoc

    Dingo hit it on the nose, but since I cannot perform a physical or testing I cannot rule out other conditions.

    Incontinence can be a life long problem and need lifelong treatment. It is best to rule out other causes. The treatment is simple and inexpensive.

  • http://www.idolicious.com Kat

    Sarah–

    I am going to the concert with my brother. He’s doing me a HUGE favor by coming with me, because he doesn’t watch Idol and I don’t think he’s particularly fond of Taylor (but finds him entertaining enough to enjoy the show, I think). We will probably be at Islands of Adventure all day before the concert.

  • Little Debbi

    Hey Taylor fans. At Grays in the comments of the parade page four, someone posted a link to a live parade cam. They said at 6:00 that Taylor should be coming along any minute.

  • DogDoc

    Welcome Msgirl.

    Did Griz post some pics earlier today??

  • mississippigirl

    As Dingo is fond of saying…don’t ever tell me this is just a blog. Seriously, DogDoc and Dingo…thank you. My Lab means the world to me and I was very scared because I just have never heard of dogs doing this…especially not mine who is always alert, playful and acts like she’s still a year old. DogDoc…really, thank you.

  • LakesideUK

    Sarah…glad I am not alone in geekdom :tongue1_tb:

    Agree about Rudy and Phil. Paul Kim is an interesting one too. I would be inclined to throw him into the mix as a possible as well.

    And I’m not sure what Sabrina and Stephanie are doing ahead of Gina, certainly. She’s had the Comeback story firing on all cylinders so I would have expected her to be more fancied.

    But it’s bound to change pretty quickly as soon as the show proper gets going. I’m hoping for some unpimped contestants to step up and make their mark actually – that’s always fun. Elliott was one of the almost-invisible people last year at this stage and we know how that ended.

    Go the dark horses! :mrgreen_wp:

  • Little Debbi

    Hey DogDoc, I never thanked you for the advice on yearly shots. I’m not usually on here the same time you are, but no excuse. Thanks again and I took your advice.

    Lakeside – very good points you make. I want to see one or two of the “unknowns” step it up in a big way and blow everyone else away as well. I’m all about the dark horse. :)

    Aww poor Dave. I think maybe you should change your image. Take all the parts that are working for other ppl.. hmm.. Dye your hair gray, twirl a wallet chain and spread your legs.

  • mississippigirl

    CarieB…I fell out laughing at you saying you would definitely be drinking alcohol in Boston. As the only non-Taylor fan in that group, I can just see you having to get drunk to be able to watch him. lolol. And I’m glad you said you would do the cellcert I nominated you for. You just need to describe Dingo and all her reactions. That way you won’t have to watch Taylor. :)

  • griz

    Did you read alltheanswers remark about my question about Taylor selling “In Your Time” at the shows? He said he’ll be selling ALL his albums (hopefully with a UPS scanner, so he can get SoundScan credit).

    I’ll bring extra money! :)

  • DogDoc

    I’ve said this before, but if anyone needs vet advice you can pm me over at the Boogie. I usually check Grays, MJs, Tay-online, and the Boogie once a day or every other day. I have given up reading the entire threads though, because I would not have time to work and sleep.

    (If Tay pms me I would probably freak, but it probably ain’t going to happen. He’s too busy to take care of pets. )

  • Metta

    Come to chat!

  • DogDoc

    Ya know – what will probably happen is **** will PM me. LOL

  • mississippigirl

    DogDoc…I know you are hardly ever here when I am…so today was a miracle!

  • CarieB

    Sarah,
    Come on over!!!!!!!! Wouldn’t that be great.

    Missgirl,
    Yes, a major dose of alcohol will have to be imbibed before I set foot in that theater. I will give you all the Dingo-details she will allow without getting my a$$ kicked.

    OK, going to chat.

    Link to Kat on Perez Hilton — read the comments, most everyone says she’s still bulimic.

    Taylor is having a ball!!!!! He is wearing, what looks like to me, a grey pullover sweater. He is throwing hardy! They told him to throw ’til it hurts. LOL He is doing his Ray Charles thingy, where he throws his head back! The crowds are cheering!!!! They love him here!!!!

  • thedingoateyobaby

    NOLA, are you THERE? OMG I think I HATE you! I mean I LOVE you but you know what ahm sayin’.

    i’d rather kat not be posted on perez hilton, i hate the guy. it’s a shame that she’s receiving so much negative publicity for coming out about a serious issue, she’s said herself she’s tired of talking about it but it gets brought up a lot because it’s “new” to the people who are interviewing her

  • Carla D

    I finally made it back from my big trip to Abilene. The Daughtry concert was AMAZING!!! I’m too exhausted to post a very biased review right now, but I’ll try to post something later this evening. Yeah, I know, all the Taylor fans are sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for details! LOL I didn’t get a picture with Chris, but I did stand firmly on the front row and….well, I’ll save the rest for later. I’m off to take a well-deserved nap!

    Oh, and for those who were wondering about my son – he had a car wreck after sliding on black ice and plowing into a guard rail. He suffered a broken arm and numerous bumps and bruises but is otherwise okay. His car is totaled, but at least he’s alive. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. This is why I truly love this blog!

  • pah

    CarlaD… Big Taylor fan here, but still happy for you and looking forward to your recap. It’s all good in the AI5 world.

  • DogDoc

    Carla— Abilene Kansas?? or Texas. I think Chris was up here in Portland about two weeks ago. They were talking about the concert on the radio.

    Hope your son feels better soon.

  • jadore

    Carla D, I would love to hear your recap. So glad your son is okay.

  • Metta

    Carla D – I was asking about your son earlier today. I’m glad his injuries were not more severe.

  • squishy

    CarlaD,

    Looking forward to your recap. I am sooo glad that your son is alive and well.

  • NOLA

    carolina………..I wouldn’t put any stock in anyting Perez Hilton has to say, but I must say that Katharine has lost a bit more weight. I noticed her face in the pics of the pre-Grammy party and thought it looked more angular than before. Her eyes just seemed to really look bigger than usual. I hope she is not in the bulimia cycle again. That is a horrible problem.
    NOLA……….we are all jealous of you!!!! And there are a couple of people who are going to the ball also, and some that spent time with Taylor and LiMBO last night. I hate them, but in a good way. LOL

    mad, perez didn’t trash katharine, other than the whoring for Gillette remark — he said he didn’t know much about her and asked the readers to respond.

    When I went to the site there were over 600 responses — I only read about 15, not terribly caustic but bulimia was in almost everyone I read.

    Re: Perez, 2 years ago he was nobody with nothing — today he makes millions and, sorry to say, is generally on the mark when reporting news. Granted his personal comments can be pretty forthright.

    NOLA — whooo hooo

    Carla — glad you had a good time ! ~ and son is okay.

    Perez, 2 years ago he was nobody with nothing à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’  today he makes millions and, sorry to say, is generally on the mark when reporting news. Granted his personal comments can be pretty forthright.

    He’s still a nobody with nuttin’. When the media is through with him he’ll be lucky to have a pot to piss in. He subscribes to the theory that if you fling enough poo, some of it is bound to stick. People tend to enjoy him until he starts telling lies and drawing rude doodles on someone they care about.

    And of course if you can’t trust random anonymous posters on a gossip site, who can you trust really?

    Soulsunshine: Thanks for sharing and thanks to your daughter for sending you the shots so quickly. Guess she knows all about our facination with everything Taylor. :)

    She did a great job with the camera — they would have been all shaky from my excitement if I’d done them!!

  • SoulSunshine

    Juliegr – My daughter said my 5-year-old granddaughter was so excited at seeing “G.G’s Taylor” she could hardly stand it. lol. My family teases me incessantly and shake their heads…but then they turn around and send me pictures and links to articles….and now first-hand pictures. very sweet.

  • folk

    back to programming:)

    Oh no! The announcer just said they would be back to wrap up the coverage.

    Britney Spears is in full self destruct mode. She is going the way of Anna Nicole. Her family needs to intervene before it’s too late. If her family cares about her ( and not just her money) they will get that girl some help and protect those children of hers .

    Will the Mardis Gras parade do anything to boost the CD ? We shall see.

    The whole process is very educational indeed.
