    Chris, Kat stayed with the 19M management company…so they get mentioned on an E19 show AI. Taylor dropped 19M and went with The Firm management company……..therefore, he does not get recognized on AI. Maybe, it is an object lesson for future idols not to stray from the E19 family.

    AFan………I hate to burst your bubble, but there are people in high places who are definitely that childish and not only that, jealous and vindictive and mean. And since the music business is in trouble………..cut throat.
    I am not saying that this is happening to Taylor….but don’t ever rule it out on anyone.

    Simon has made his opinion quite clear about how he feels about Taylor , he can’t stand him. This is not a figment of anyones imagination , it’s a fact.

  • terry

    cricket sorry no response about Jared….I jus can’t bring myself to watch anymore. I saw the top 24 and that was enough.

  • AFan

    Well if Kat and Chris stayed with 19 and Taylor left it makes a lot of sense that they would feel more of an obligation to promote Kat and Chris. But honestly, Taylor isn’t important enough to be hated by the AI peeps. They have bigger fish to fry. Simon has stated his own personal opinion about Taylor and there’s nothing wrong with that. Simon has said lots of stuff. He let’s the world know about his hatred for Bob Dylan or anything that doesn’t smell like money, for that matter.
    SO it’s like product placement. If Taylor isn’t with them anymore, they would really feel no need to drop his name. It’s as simple as that. It was Taylor’s decision to leave 19.
    Mad, the music business is tough and scary and I wouldn’t even begin to pretend like I knew the half of it. But I highly doubt they’re wasting time trying to figure out ways to screw Taylor. They’ve had more success than they could dream of out of last season. I’m sure they’re OK with everyone.

    terry , does kind of leave one speechless.

  • madaboutu

    Taylor fans……..go over to GC and read in the Ashville thread, post #29 by SouThingGirl. Taylor has broken out of his cage it seems.

  • weelassie

    And if this is the same guy that got kicked off American idol because people didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t vote for himà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦why do they think people will buy his music??

    ——————————————————————-

    Wow what stupid logic. He came in third. Let’s think a bit here, Chris came in 4th and is doing great, Kellie came in what? 8th? she is doing pretty well herself. I believe Bucky will also do pretty well. So what third is last or something. These people crack me up. second is the new first but third is just pure suckage. sheesh.

  • madaboutu

    weelassie………….this looks like another case of speak before you hear or see, or just plain someone who doesn’t like E. You know Taylor fans go through this over and over, but I think E is going to get more good reviews than bad, so not to worry.

  • Seraphina

    I agree with you Afan. Maybe I just refuse to read too much into it or get into conspiracy theories, but I highly doubt the producers are childishly ignoring Taylor on purpose. Neither do I think it’s meant as a little slap on the hand for leaving 19M. If it were, they wouldn’t rave about Kelly, who also left their management as soon as she was able.

    Yes childishness does happen in high places at times, but I’m afraid I just don’t see it here. Taylor has not gone on to sell stellar numbers, while Daughtry has. The difference in their sales is understandable, since they are aiming at such different demos, but in the eyes of the hype machine, big sales that make AI gleam a little brighter are all that bears reminding ad nauseum to the teevee audience. ;)

    Insomnia sucks.

    Here’s a paparazzi video of Simon predicting who will win AI this year.

    http://x17online.com/celebrities/reality_tv/simons_idol_predictions.php

    He names Lakisha, Melinda, and “maybe” Blake.

    Sorry hawt Jared. :cry_wp:

  • terry

    Lazy reporting …the writer probably hasn’t even heard Elliott’s music. True talent with a little luck and publicity will be heard.

  • Seraphina

    Hey, nice to hear Blake’s name mentioned in that threesome. Thanks for the link.

    BTW – DiDiDinah over at GC’s reported that Taylor called security because a woman had collapsed and needed to be carried away. Fainting in the front rows now, eh? heh

  • madaboutu

    terry………at least I think Elliott will be on the radio from the beginning and so will be heard.
    Seems that security was called at Taylors concert because someone fainted in the front row.

  • terry

    mad, DiDiDinah teased us at GC about a rumor that I think I heard referenced on the cellcert. Were you in on the cellcert?

  • madaboutu

    terry…….no I wasn’t on the cellcert, but DiDi mentioned it on GC so now I am beyond curious. It wasn’t the part about his pacing was it? Of course not. That isn’t rumor worthy/
