‘AMERICAN IDOL’ AUDITIONS
WAITING FOR STARDOM
Crowds swelled to thousands outside AmericanAirlines Arena for season 7 auditions signup for TV’s ‘American Idol.’ Everyone’s gearing up for auditions on Wednesday.
In the predawn hours Monday, it seemed as if every person in South Florida between the ages of 16 and 28 had descended on AmericanAirlines Arena in downtown Miami.

‘Idol’ Hand Ryan Seacrest Put to Work On the Emmys
Will “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest be able to lure that show’s millions of texting-crazed teens to a three-to-four-hour trophy show in which William Shatner is favored to win best supporting actor in a drama series?
……..Last season he hosted 29 of the 33 most-watched individual telecasts of the 2006-07 TV season. All were “American Idol” episodes; many of them were live and all involved Seacrest being the center of gravity as people with enormous egos and varying degrees of talent danced wildly around him.
Seacrest is the Practically Perfect Primetime Emmy Awards host, once you get over whining about him not being a stand-up comic like the other Primetime Emmy Awards hosts the past several years and about how is he going to handle the traditional five-minute opening joke-fest written by comic/host and his/her entourage of writers/hangers-on.
“One thought I had was to not pretend to be a comic,” Seacrest told The TV Column in response to our rude “but you’re not a comic” question…….
Hygienist wins ‘Idol’ gold
She gets to skip the mass audition and meet the producers in Miami.
Until last week, the biggest crowd Emily Poe had performed for was the Friday night karaoke regulars at Miss Kitty’s Hilltop Lounge.
That was before last Friday when the 25-year-old appeared as a finalist in the Tampa Bay Idol singing competition in Brandon, a precursor to the official American Idol regional auditions in Miami….
Five Idols Learn From the First American Idol
The remaining five “Canadian Idol” finalists were guest mentored this week by Kelly Clarkson, the first winner of “American Idol,” as they performed songs by their musical idols.
“The thing about Kelly is she has massive acclaim - critically and commercially; that is very rare,” judge Sass Jordan said about Clarkson.
The shock of the night came when Clarkson was shown sitting front row for the show…….

I’m not surprised about the Post; journalists aren’t what they used to be…hardly anyone bothers to check facts these days. Newspapers use each other as “sources,” so erroneous statements often go unchallenged.
As for my Internet connection, I’m still on dial-up and the way things are going, I have — at best — a 50-50 shot of making it to chat later tonight.
On the plus side, I am getting a lot of work done. Who knew?
Ha Ha Hezz re Dylan, Yeah! Sorry LU.
*sigh*
I HATE dial-up.
Momo lol.
Can not get into chat….ARGH.
But had to post this….

Sorry, folks. Paul Potts was supposed to perform, so I heard. Guess he couldn’t make it across the big pond.
Kelly Clarkson was awarded with a Platinum record tonight on Canadian Idol — I didnt think she was that far in sales yet?
Is platinum 1mill? or 500,000, because My December is pass 600,000; but maybe they’re counting the Canadian sales too?
Sarah posted a great feature at teamplaid.com about a local Seattle hip/hop act… Common Market. They are really cool and the interview is great, so check it out.
Sorry for shamelessly pimping it. LOL!

David Rogriguez, who designed Carrie Underwoods gown for her first CMA show is on HSN tonight with a new line of clothing. Carrie’s stylist called in and said a lot of designers sent Carrie gowns for her to choose from. She picked Rodriguez because his were so comfortable as well as beautiful. Sounded like a very nice woman, very friendly and not pretentious. They showed a big pic of carrie in the gown when he first came on.
Platinum is 1 million shipped.
Seems odd to award Kelly a platinum award based on US sales during the Canadian Idol broadcast which is not shown in the US.
Could it be that the award was based on sales in Canada? Platinum is 100,000 shipped in Canada compared to 1 million in the US.
It probably was for Canadian sales. When Clay was on Canadian Idol in 2003 he got his 6x platinum plaque for his single from a BMG Canada rep during the show.
