Los Angeles Added as Final Season 10 Audition City
THIS JUST IN from AmericanIdol.com:
In celebration of the series’ momentous 10th anniversary and in an effort to give tens of thousands of hopefuls the opportunity to audition, American Idol will host auditions in Los Angeles beginning Wednesday, Sept. 22.
The 10th season of American Idol premieres January 2011 on FOX.
“This summer we have had an exceptional turnout – both in the number of people auditioning and the level of their talent,” said Idol executive producer Ken Warwick. “Los Angeles has always delivered great talent, and so we feel it only fitting that we end our 10th season audition tour here in our home city.”
Check out this link for more information. Idol has already held auditions in San Francisco, Nashville, Milwaukee, New Orleans and East Rutherford.
If FOX ever puts together a judges’ panel, the judges round of auditions are set to begin sometime this fall.

Jennifer Lopez Idol Deal Reportedly “Imminent”
I guess TMZ couldn’t let the Labor Day Weekend begin without throwing some Idol gossip out onto the internets?
Apparently, Fox is just about to close a deal with Jennifer Lopez to become Idol judge (Yawn).
Sources connected to the negotiations tell TMZ … contrary to some news reports … there has been no drama and no diva demands. As one source puts it, “It’s been typical negotiating.”
We’re told … absent a last-minute snag (which is highly unlikely) … the deal could be inked as early as next week.
“Idol” sources say producers believe Jennifer is the key to re-energizing the show.
Ugh. Now I’m going to have to sit on the internet and wait for the usual suspects to respond with their own “sources”.

Americas Got Talent – Semi-Final Pt Two Results
America’s Got Talent results–the Semi-Final round part 2. Here’s how it went down tonight:
Debra Romer, Michael Grasso, Murray and Nathaniel Kenyon took the stage, Michael Grasso advanced to the next round. Boo hoo for the rest. I was askeerd that Nate would make it on his looks. Whew.
Fighting Gravity and Jeremy VanSchoonhoven are next. Sharon was bummed, because both acts were in her top five. Yep. You guessed it. Both acts made it in.
Next, it’s Haspop, Jackie Evancho and Maestro Alexander Bui. I think this one is pretty obvious. Jackie Evancho, the freaky kid opera singer advanced.
There’s one spot left. The judges pick the last act from the 6th and 7th place finishers. Studio One Young Beast Society, Michael Lipari & Ashleigh Dijon and Alice Tan Ridley are left. Michael and Ashleigh are eliminated based on votes. Now, it’s between the 0ver-the-hill singer and the adorable young hip-hop dancers. Uh YEAH. Studio One Young Beast Society are in.
In between the eliminations, singer, Jason Derulo and dance group Le Reve performed.
No surprises tonight. The judges paid a lot of lip service to the singers, but most of them were never meant to advance in the end. I think one of the non-singer acts are gonna take it this year, with Jackie Evancho taking the Susan Boyle Memorial second place spot…
Going through to the Top 10 tonight:
“CMA Music Fest: Country’s Night To Rock” Featuring Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler

Archuleta said the new album is currently in the mastering process – and revealed that there is also a title track to the LP – one of his favorite’s on the piece, thus the name.

American Idols Live 2010 – Elliott’s Cincinnati Recap

When it got time to head down to Riverbend, we went there and found the barricades… after parking a mile away from the venue (oops). There was a long wait and it was relatively humid, so it was a bit of a drag. We made friends with some of the people who had been to some other Idol shows, so they said they’d get photos of us with the Idols when they came out. Tim and Casey ended up being the only ones who came out, but both of them were really nice.
It was also during this time that a bunch of butterflies were flying around as I saw Siobhan walk out of the tour bus. I looked back a few moments later and she had disappeared, as well as the butterflies. It entertained us all. I also saw Katie on her phone and Crystal smoking during this time, too.

American Idols Live 2010 – Girly Breska’s Minneapolis Recap
Girly Breska says hello to her fellow idoloonies at the Minneapolis, MN Idols Live show last Friday. Read her recap below:
***
Hello, fellow idoloonies! I attended the Idol show at Target Center, and I decided “hey…what the heck? Why not write a review?”
First, I’ll tell you a bit about myself. I am a 20-year-old college student with a nearly non-existent social life. I love music in general; I’m actually a flute performance major. My musical taste is kind of all over the map; I like pop, rock, country, some r&b, and even just a little bit of rap. My summer has pretty much consisted of working as a cashier, going to concerts with my dad (we saw Kris Allen and Adam Lambert in June), spending time with my sister, and web-surfing. I check mjsbigblog.com multiple times a day for the latest Idol scoop. Oh yeah…and I’m a Facebook addict!
