I’ve been posting here at mj’s a long time and reported about having seen Elliott Yamin, Taylor Hicks, and Daughtry at their Manila shows.

I’m going to see Michael’s show, for sure, as I am a fan (and it’s an Ayala show, so there you go, heh). I’m also most likely going to Cookie’s show next year, but I haven’t decided on whether I’m watching Rami and Danny at Ogie’s show yet.

(For the record, the only Idol who came here that I didn’t go to see is Constantine. Not a big fan. Heh.)

Does anyone really think that Lacey and Cheryl have excess weight to the degree that it will be an issue on thier joints and lower backs???

I was also a bit upset to hear this dialog from Maks and Louis. Good health is more important than seeing bony ribs. Both girls are terrific dancers and that’s what should be important.

The Oprah Show sounds like it will be must see viewing!

MICHAEL JOHNS will also be performing in Manila Philippines (at the Ayala Malls) starting on November 19, 2008à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦will post the link to the local newspaper the Philippine Daily Inquirer

YAY! Thank you, RV. I am so there.

Daughtry on Oprah? Yeah!

Oprah Winfrey will take two days to celebrate this year’s election. The event starts Tuesday and concludes Wednesday.

Tuesday’s show features Whoopi Goldberg and Elisabeth Hasselbeck of “The View,” married political pundits James Carville and Mary Matalin and cast members from “Saturday Night Live.” The rock band Daughtry will perform.

Ramiele arrived in Manila last Wednesday in line with her upcoming back-to-back concert with singer-songwriter Ogie Alcasid dubbed à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Ogie Sings with the Idolsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  slated on December 20 to 21 at then Aliw Theater in Pasay City.

I read some posts by Ramielle fans at a local board that Rami is not in Manila yet (as of yesterday, Friday here) and it’s just his dad who arrived the other day. I’m trying to decide whether I should go watch this concert. I do want to see Danny Noriega. Heh.

Thank you for the Elliott video, jpfan. I wish the sound quality of that video were better.

Oh i will do that. I’m excited. It seems like I’m meeting Idol after Idol lately. I met Phil, then Kristy, now Chris all in the past month and a half. I will record it for you, but it will be my first attempt at transfering my video directly to my laptop so hopefully it goes well.

And ill tell him you said hi! Its not til Thursday so ill get some video practice in.

…Another person I got to see while I was down there was Alexandrea Lushington! I haven’t seen her since… February? And it was great to see her and her family again. She got to meet my relatives and we all had a really good time. (I have some pictures too so check out my photos.)

Oh I wanted to mention another thing. Since I’m back in California, we’ve started band rehearsals! The band is awwesooomme and are really cool guys. So while I’m here that’s what I’ll be doing….

Do we have names (and faces) for Archie’s band yet?

Chris Sligh is coming to jacksonville to preform in a small small place (coffee shop maybe?) right next to my houseà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦i think im gunna try out the new video camera i bought! IM SO EXCITED!!!! I GET TO MEET CHRIS SLIGH!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!

Aww, Duke! Tell him MJ said HI!!! I love that guy. Bring the video, and I’ll post it!

I get sad every time I read anything about Jennifer Hudson, what a horrible tragedy and I hope the media gives her some space.

Reba and Kelly all over the place, I don’t like Reba much but I would go to see them if they came to my neck of the woods.

ET was exclusively with David Cook on Wednesday for the taping of his AOL Music Sessions in NYC.

Hm, so he recorded the AOL thing on Wednesday, and called it his first gig with the band? But didn’t we get the little soundless Walmart snippet on Wednesday, which meands the Soundcheck thing happened first? I’m not sure why it matters, but somehow I have this need to piece out BF’s schedule of late haha.

purplesmile, here is a link to the full song.. you just have to get past the horrid voice and imagine Davidà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s. lol

Thanks, IGC. Unfortunately, the page is requiring me to either log in or sign up first and I have forgotten my imeem details; heck, I have forgotten if I even have an imeem account in the first place. Heh.

Did we know that Cook has recorded AOL Sessions as well as his Walmart gig? That means weà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll have 2 online concerts to watch this month!

Yep, Walmart and AOL Sessions, which is on November 28th!!!

Took a listen to Archie’s snippets — strongest song imo is I’m A Little Too Not Over You…who is dueting w/him on To Be With You? They sound pretty together. I’m glad there’s a mix of fast, mid and slow tempo songs, and usage of that elusive falsetto which sounds pretty damn good to me, was he just too shy to use it live on AI? I tended to like the songs that let Archie’s voice shine a little more, songs 2-4 kind of bugged me cause they did a little too much of the electronic effect w/his voice.

Yay for another DC interview (ET) and AOL sessions!
