Elliott had a lot of contracted people and companies doing specific jobs for him. I wonder if Michael is doing that too.

I wonder which of Elliott’s people Michael’s working with for his album. Elliott had a lot of contracted people and companies doing specific jobs for him. I wonder if Michael is doing that too.

He's there with a non-partisan group to promote music, the arts and to entertain. The group will have performers in towns where both conventions are being held. Daughtry also will be in Minneapolis during the convention with another group with somewhat the same agenda before he also goes to Colorado and the Democrats.

Very interesting. I didn't watch the Fantasia season, and everytime I hear her sing I cringe. To me, her voice is grating. However, part of me is happy when <em>any</em> former AI contestant has some form of success, so I hope her new CD does well.

I so hope it will have some moving soul shes so good at and a few roof raisers on it. I havent liked either album shes put out since AI. I guess they were more for the younger crowd but sure didnt showcase that voice of hers. Had they put out the right kind of album, shed be the huge star should be.

She does what she does, and you don't forget her. She has incredible range in what she can actually do. From Gershwin standards to shout in the aisles Baptist church gospel. And she is credible throughout. Been a fan since day one, and can't wait to see what she does next. I loved her on this years idol. She does what she does, and you don’t forget her.

I've felt like she has been kinda wasted. She cracks me up and then moves me at times. She's definetly one of a kind. I even like her WTF performance on AI this year because it made me grin. Great Archie interview. He's so refreshing after all the divas and divettes that made me turn my radio off for awhile. I’m really interested in what Fantasia is going to sound like.

He may be a dork, but he's an intelligent dork. <blockquote> And I almost didn't go because I had to quit my summer job. It's hard to find a job!</blockquote> Now if that isn't priceless. He is just a normal kid, having this very abnormal life. I was worried about how he would take to touring, yet it seems he's thriving. He seems like a very driven young man.
