Idols in the Mags

This week, TV Guide runs a one page piece on David Cook and his brother Adam. By now I’m sure most of you know about Adam’s advanced brain cancer and his trip on a medical jet–funded by folks back home–to Los Angeles to see his brother perform. To the casual AI viewer? It might be news, because David has never discussed his brother on the show.
Also in TV Guide, a little blurb about David Cook and Michael Johns–they plan to write songs together. Plus, Kristy Lee Cook’s recent engagement.
“Who is Your Biggest Supporter?” US magazine asks the Top 6. Brooke White and Carly Smithson rely on their husbands. David Cook and Jason Castro are close to their moms. Syesha Mercado leans on her fiance for support. And of course, David Archuleta has his Dad. Eep.

“Here at MJà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s, most of us do not generally do the hard core fan group thing. . . Weà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve been down the fan war road before, and it left us all feeling dirty.”
SpenserJ, I had to sign up to say this, and while you may not see it, I would like you to know that you absolutely nailed my feelings regarding AI participation. I was beginning to think I was the only one who felt that way. Thank you.
I did the tour in Season 5, because I so wanted to see Taylor live, I was worried that maybe he’d never do a solo tour and I wouldn’t get the chance (an unfounded concern, but nonetheless). I’m glad I went though, because I had a great time and I discovered a lot of things I liked about people that I hadn’t necessarily loved on the show. It was a great time.
Last year, I went for 2 reasons: 1. I had the chance to attend with some of my MJ friends, which was AWESOME. and 2. A couple of my favorites were voted off so early that I knew that I would never get another chance to see them live. I don’t regret it at all.
I like several people this year. So, if the timing of my local tour stop works for me, I plan to go again.
I’m here! I saw it
And, you’re welcome. Always happy to have newcomers here at MJ’s Scarlett – that’s what keeps it fresh. Post away and don’t be a stranger.
I think I’ve been talked into it. Thanks, SpenserJ!
