American Idol 2008

I think Josiah's really talented. Maybe they thought he would be difficult to work with. I'm sure we'll hear from him in the future.

I hope someone does take him under their wing and help him out. He's a cute kid. Hope you're right, OL.

Ditto... I was upset for him when he came down the elevator and no one was there for him. now learning his mother has cancer, how sad.
he was the boy who lived out of his car right? Let's adopt him.
he can stay at every sowalers house while he travels state to state.

Here is what I found. It was obviously before he was living in his car.

WoooHooooo! I'm ready! Here is a preview of my article:

Idol Beat ? 2008 American Idol Premiere, Tuesday and Wednesday, January 15th -16th

Get ready everyone, we are about to kick off Season 7 of American Idol! Get your pencil and paper out and start writing down who your favorites are going to be!

Rumor has it that Idol begins in Philadelphia, followed by Dallas. Nigel Lythgoe, one of the producers, said he thought the best singers came from the San Diego auditions. Maybe I?m biased, but I?m sticking with Atlanta as the best audition town especially since my pre-season favorite auditioned there.

Simon, the judge who is most critical, said they don?t show people who just want to get on TV who can?t sing. He said all of the people whose auditions are shown on TV, truly think they can sing.

We have to wade through all the crazies (I know some of you think this is the best part), to get to the real talent. Of the thousands of auditions, approximately 160 make it to Hollywood, which is quickly reduced to 50, then whittled down to the top 24. Some auditions are never shown ? especially if the contestant is really good. American Idol does not want to give away all its secrets!


Here is something to think about until next week:

Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Watch American Idol 2008:

10: The best top 12 they will ever have! (Hmmm, I loved the top 12 of 2007!)

9: Instruments are allowed during Hollywood Week!

8: More Rockers this year!

7: Three 16 and 17 year olds are some of the top vocals!

6: A new exit song ? I don?t know what they will use but I?m hoping for ?When I Fall From Grace? by the Likes of You.

5: Less mentors and guest artists (except for the Clark Brothers, please!), more time with the contestants and their families.

4: Great family entertainment!

3: Simon will say ?Horrible? 30 times; Paula will say ?You look beautiful? 44 times and Randy will say ?It was a little pitchy? 57 times!

2: It will be deja vu for two of the singers! That is all I can say about it!

1: A Star will be born, who will go on to sell more records than any other Idol!

Who could possibly sell more records than carrie underwood?!

Thanks for bringing this back up. My exit song choice didn't get picked but so far, everything else is true!
AI is looking for that magic formula of voice, looks, marketability and great songs to put another legend up there.

Kelly, Carrie and Daughtry have had the most success - they have had winners with country and rock. This year, there are a lot of rockers - Robbie, David Cook, Michael Johns, Amanda and Carly. There are several young potential pop stars - David A., Alexandrea, Danny, Kristy, Kady and many unknown talents!

TCO - The Chosen One, who people think AI has already picked to win, is thought to be either Michael, Carly or David A.

I can't believe we haven't even heard: Luke Menard, Garret Haley, Jason Castro and Jason Yeager. Alex, has had the least amount of tv exposure of the girls. We have a lot to look forward to!

Josiah update! He is performing on the Ellen Show! He is taping on Monday, possibly airing on Tuesday! He is supposed to be performing an original song (with his keyboard.) I wonder if Ellen will surprise him with a new car!

...or a new house so he can move out of his car.
