CindyM: Speaking of this, what’s going on with Allison’s Friday I’ll Be Over U? Any word on the itunes release or release to radio??

Ohhhh, snapppp!!!! Somehow I have this vague feeling you don’t actually want to know….

If DC is promoting anything at his R&K appearance, I hope it’s a Live at XXXXXX CD of the Declaration Tour.

Shhhh, don’t let RCA know we actually want a live tour CD. If we bitch and moan that releasing a Live at XXXX DeTour CD for the holidays is a horrible idea and possibly career suicide for Cookie, then and only then am I sure it will actually happen. Unlike Santa Fuller *smooches for Cookwood* and the tour fairy *thx for the Florida date woo hoo*, the grinchy label seems to respond best to reverse psychology. (Course, the truth is that I want a live DeTour CD/DVD for Christmas more than I want world peace and a magical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang flying car, and all three seem equally likely at this point, she says, trying not to jinx it…)

Since I am semi-drunk posting, shout outs to Tinawina, Tierbee and others who I love, who love David Cook, greatest Idol of all time and hopeful future superstar or at least successful self-supporting musician.

In other words, I like you Headlines Thread and Imma let you finish, but David Cook is the greatest Idol of all time. Of ALL TIME. Lydia, you are not an angry drunk or a sloppy drunk…you are totes a Kanye drunk! Ha ha. Loves it.

I know, frightening. That thing is a monster.

Zombie VooDoo Magic Rainbow interrupts this thread to wish everyone an H-Ween pumpkin full of Skittles. And also, mmmm, brainz.

I saw the B+ rating for Adam’s TfM; it got the highest marks except for the one for Leona *yawn* Lewis. Maybe this will get iTunes or someone to release it? I lurrrve it. Come on, RCA/19. I want to download it LEGALLY.

Watch out for file sizes on the high def versions. The 720p version, which fills a 21 inch monitor at actual size, is 175 megabytes. Click for previews and figure out what size you need before getting the free download.

Meanwhile, certain other AI alumni can go do musically mediocre pop craptastic songs if they want, to borrow your colorful phrase.

Allison did a bubble tweet to introduce her band, beware, it’s VERY Allison.

Hmm, informative.

Two girls, one is a drummer the other one is the bassist and the guy to the right is her guitar player. I’m guessing the guy to the left of her is her keyboard player.

Very Josie-and-the-Pussycats of her.

Not to mention all the space given to Glee.

I don’t quite get that. It is a scripted dramedy, so it doesn’t feel as compelling to me to follow them. If these “kids” don’t make it, they just move on to their next acting gig.

Also, in case you haven’t noticed, MJ is also covering DWTS & SYTYCD right now. Those posts show up the evenings when those shows are on.

I am fairly new here, but MJ’s seems to be an Adam Lambert fansite, so happy to be able to read about the other idols here.

Since this blog is an American Idol Blog I post because I became interested in the idols through the show. And I have had my favorites over the years…and have watched many that I were very thankful that they crashed and burned.

I personally read all of the threads because what the idols are doing interests me….and sometimes that entails reading a lot of trivial stuff. It’s funny to me how peeps keep a thread going by talking endlessly about an Idol’s new haircut or the absurd twitter they sent…but it’s really interesting to see how idols are perceived when they really do something…like release an album cover or a new single or perform on tour.

So, to be fair, in order for an idol to be talked about they really need to do something and keep the interest up. If they fall off the visibility radar its pretty hard to just talk about an idol to be just talking about them…that isn’t comment worthy IMHO.

It should even out when Season 9 revs up. Then all the neutral folks will return

Some of us are still here

I’ve been here since Season 5, and this happens every year. The summer and fall after Season 5 was all about Taylor and a bunch of Taylor vs. Kat or Taylor vs. daughtry fan wars. After Season 6, it seemed all about Blake (although no one seemed to have bought that CD – so I don’t know what happend to all of those fans LOL). Season 7, this place turned into Cooktard central with lots of David vs. David fanwars. This stuff is all par for the course.

MJ posts the news, and clearly Adam is making a lot of it. That brings more of his fans over here, who weren’t necessarily MJ visitors beforehand.

But, in looking to the right, I see posts about David A, JPL, Pickler, Kelly Clarkson, Danny Gokey, Kris & Adam. And, the headlines thread always include any past contestant mentioned in a news article that day.

Once the new season starts, we’ll be back to picking those new people apart with a fine tooth comb and we won’t have as much time to spend on any one previous contestant. At that point, the people who actually need a news item on their favorite every day, spend more time at their fansites and less time here.

JohnM, funny you are mentioning Cook and Allison. Check out this tweet from Cook.

#thedavidcook
@Allison4Realzzz when and where are you guys playing?

Yes, I saw that, and I’m trying not to get too excited by it. Somebody like him can bring along another artist’s career by being interested enough to add them as an opening act.

PRMari: I’m still hoping for a rocking duet at some point down the line. Maybe when she’s a legal adult, we don’t want Cookie squeaked out by her being 17′ ¦just ask Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Ha! Great obscure reference! Okay, I suppose it’s not that obscure to Cook fanatics and their spouses — not that I fall into the latter category or anything…

tierbee: David, you might try to run from the Rainbow but’ ¦ I don’t think you can really, truly hide

After all, you never come to the end of a Rainbow…

For some reason I just love the idea of him going to see Allison’s show. Aw.

He’s definitely a fan. I’m still hoping for a rocking duet at some point down the line. Maybe when she’s a legal adult, we don’t want Cookie squeaked out by her being 17…just ask Andrew Lloyd Webber.

LOL. H-Ween, eh?

Do you realize that ‘Magic Rainbow’  is still (as of the week ending Oct. 29) getting over 1500 spins a week?

I swear I hear that song everywhere I go. David, you might try to run from the Rainbow but… I don’t think you can really, truly hide

Two women in her band, I guess Cookie got interested. (j/k)
But that’s really cool if he has the chance to see her live.

Ever since I saw Allison’s pre-Idol live performance of Piece Of My Heart, I’ve been drooling over the idea of a Cook/Iraheta tour! Meanwhile, certain other AI alumni can go do musically mediocre pop craptastic songs if they want, to borrow your colorful phrase.

I think it’s cool that TOML is still being heard. I walked into a clothing store with my daughter today & heard CBTM on the sound system.

just saw on Twitter that some of the guys from Cook’s band are at the Viper Room watching the CrashKings. Ah, twitter stalking.

Since I am semi-drunk posting, shout outs to Tinawina, Tierbee and others who I love, who love David Cook, greatest Idol of all time and hopeful future superstar or at least successful self-supporting musician.

I also looked at the spins for some of the other previous year’s idols. I hadn’t looked at Cook’s “Time of my Life” for quite a while so today I pulled up it’s quick cut. Amazing! Do you realize that “Magic Rainbow” is still (as of the week ending Oct. 29) getting over 1500 spins a week? The most impressive thing is that it’s total spins are over 291,000 with total audience impressions of 2,158.742. It seems that TOML will never die.

TOML Quick Cut

eta: wordnerdarchie I think those audience numbers for TOML are actually 2 billion..I know, frightening. That thing is a monster.

Jim Cantiello has posted a new Tweet Beat. He’s got David Archuleta reading his own tweets and he does a hilarious spoof of Adam Lambert.

http://www.mtv.com/videos/news/451192/this-week-in-twitter-adam-glam-bert.jhtml#name=news&id=1619279

That was really funny! I am loving Jim on twitter, too! I just started following him, once I discovered he had mucho love for Adam too! Maybe a little too much love based on that tweet beat

girlygirl
What exactly is a ‘radio tour’ ? I ask because in my mind when musicians come into radio stations to perform live acoustic sets, they already have either a single or album that has been released that they are promoting.

I might be wrong about this, but I think a “radio tour” refers to performing at such things as the Jingle Balls/Bashes/Jams, the way Archie did last year and now Kris this year. David did about 11 of these Jingle shows last year. It’s called a “radio tour” because the shows are sponsored by radio stations. Some radio stations also have a summer version and call it Summer Bash or something similar.

Also, Friday I’ll be Over U will be available from iTunes and Amazon on November 3rd.

So Jive’s given her a Tuesday release date.

# Thanks everyone for your thoughts and for those who signed this! That’s really nice of you guys haha
