		<description>So appearantly David Cook flew out to Chicago straight after last night&#039;s show to be on Oprah. Only, the show Oprah is filming there is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.suntimes.com/sports/olympics/1136773,CST-NWS-oprah30.stng&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;an Olympics special with over 150 Olympic medal athletes.&lt;/a&gt;
Is it possible that they are filming more than one show? Otherwise, the only Olympic connection I can think of is TOML.
I hope we get spoilers from someone in the audience.

Also - Amazon.com has a release date for David&#039;s album - Nov 14th. I will probably change in the coming weeks, though.</description>

Boston radio stations played the crap out of Chris Daughtry&#039;s &quot;Wanted Dead or Alive&quot; from the Season 5 album.  I have no idea why it caught on here, but it did.</description>

Radio stations can play whatever they like. They just generally like to be lemmings and play what is released and popular. During the season, you will find a lot of Idol songs played on the radio (when we had full access to the charts). Elliott is an example of an Idol that always got strong hometown support and they played his Idol songs for a long time...and that was back in the day when they didn&#039;t release official studio versions.  They played &quot;A Song For You&quot; until he replaced it with a studio version on his album (and of course, he had that little hit that played on almost every Pop/HAC/AC station in America...a great success for any artist, let alone an indie artist).</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;i canÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t imagine AI without ryan anymore than i can imagine it without simon.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Ditto, absolutely on the money.

&lt;blockquote&gt;The girl in the Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œCrushÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  video better start getting ready for the death threats, etc. I think she has about a week to get everything in place before the video debuts.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Poor kid, all she wanted to do is be in a video..... lol!</description>

		<description>I love, love, love the clip of Elliott&#039;s new song. I&#039;m pretty sure it&#039;s another Stargate song. (they did Tattoo as well as Wait for You.)  That he sounds this good live is just amazing.   I&#039;m not too sure how many people are interested in Elliott&#039;s career in Japan ;)  but he&#039;s really doing well. He&#039;ll be singing his version of Home on their big morning TV show. (good for his career even if I hate the song myself).

(thanks to etrain&#039;s siba and itslate)

I think I&#039;m going to like this song (I&#039;m not crazy about the &quot;Home&quot; one). It sounds more like up E&#039;s alley. :)</description>

		<description>If I hadn&#039;t been seated in my car waiting for a train to pass I probably &lt;em&gt;would&lt;/em&gt; have driven off the road. I guess I should mention--tiny important detail here--that it&#039;s a Kansas City station.  But I was still really startled. I don&#039;t know how that sort of thing works, either, in terms of rights, etc. The only other time I&#039;ve heard a local station play anything other than TOML was right after the finale when another station played TWIK (and I cried in my car, because it was so beautiful, and without yet knowing what Simon had done to him.)</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I turned on my car radio and the station was playing David Cook singing. . .Always Be My Baby.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

What? What?!  I probably would have driven off the road.  Are the DJ&#039;s fans?

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;the station was playing David Cook singing. . .Always Be My Baby. Huh? &lt;/blockquote&gt;

huh, indeed. excuse my ignorance and lack of proper terms here (no idea how radio works), but is that... like, allowed? can stations basically play whatever songs they want, or do they have to be &#039;sanctioned&#039; or otherwise officially sent over by the artist/songwriter/label? 

also, i love making fun of ryan seacrest&#039; hair, tan, teeth, on-screen persona, etc. as much as the next person, but i agree with you guys that he rocks. i can&#039;t imagine AI without ryan anymore than i can imagine it without simon.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know where the heck to stick this, so I&#039;ll put it here &#039;cause it sure felt like a headline to me, lol. I turned on my car radio and the station was playing David Cook singing. . .Always Be My Baby.  Huh? Not that I&#039;m complaining.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;He is one of the only 2 hosts I have EVER enjoyed.  The other is the guy who hosts Dancing with the Stars&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I also love Ryan.  I think Cat Deely is also a really great host from SYTYCD.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Ryan is in a league of his own as far as hosting skills are concerned.&lt;/blockquote&gt; :thumbup_tb:

I agree MJ..I hope he wins that Emmy! He may the only reason I watch Idol next yr... He is one of the only 2 hosts I have EVER enjoyed. The other is the guy who hosts Dancing with the Stars.</description>

		<description>I shudder to think of the AI situation if Ryan had jumped ship and left Brian Dunkleman to host.  Seacrest is part of what makes this show work.  I can&#039;t imagine a better host.</description>

		<description>Ryan is in a league of his own as far as hosting skills are concerned.  Ben Mulroney makes mistakes on a weekly basis, while Ryan is nearly perfect. When he does goof up on that rare occasion, he moves on.  He&#039;s completely unflappable.  I hope he wins the Emmy he&#039;s been nominated for.</description>

		<description>Hi all!  I&#039;ve had a busy summer and haven&#039;t been around much, but I just had to chime in on the Ryan support.  I think he does an amazing job as host of AI for all of the reasons listed by others.  I can&#039;t imagine the show running as smoothly without him.</description>

		<description>Right on, abbysee.  Honestly, I could do without some of the obnoxious Ryan vs. Simon banter on the show, but overall I am really a fan.  He makes it look easy; a total pro.  Oh...and Ryan at the Idol auditions = brilliant.</description>

		<description>Ryan Seacrest is a great host for American Idol.  He thinks on his feet, is extremely intelligent.  He has alot of stuff going on and I admire his work ethic.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;One of the annoying things about Canadian Idol on the few occasions I watched it was when the show presenter tried to make himself the centre of attention, and that is something Seacrest donÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t do. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Ben Mulroney is one of the most annoying things about Canadian Idol. Just like his dad, he oozes smarm. Unlike his dad, he can&#039;t even read the teleprompter properly. I&#039;ve never met anybody who considers Ben an asset to the show. I think it would have done better without him. It&#039;s not really fair to compare him to Ryan who does do a good job, IMO. Ryan is very likeable. Ben just thinks he is.

Ryan does an amazing job. I love reading the behind the scenes reports from EW where they describe all the things he deals with without breaking a sweat. He makes it look easy.</description>

		<description>I think that interesting but rather snide article about Ryan Seacrest missed why he is successful - he is simply good at what he does.  A show like AI doesn&#039;t need a &quot;personality&quot; as a host, just someone who can present smoothely (very important in a live show) and unobtrusively, be witty when required, tactful when necessary, and he rarely slips up - the only error I remember this season was (I think) the Chaka Khan comment when David Cook performed First Time Ever I Saw You Face.   One of the comments in the article said that people &quot;connect with him on a very stupid level&quot; which completely reads it wrong - I don&#039;t want to &quot;connect&quot; with Seacrest, I want to connect with the contestants, and Seacrest knows that, and also that he is not what the show is about.  One of the annoying things about Canadian Idol on the few occasions I watched it was when the show presenter tried to make himself the centre of attention, and that is something Seacrest don&#039;t do. 

I am surprise though that such a snide article didn&#039;t mention the scurrilous rumours about him.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the clarification frogcooke, story was very similar.  Anyway enough to keep the fangirls in a tizzy and giving us something to talk about.  I do feel sorry for his future girlfriends cause it won&#039;t be pretty no matter how well he handles it.</description>
