Season 6 Idols: Update to the Update…

A couple of late-breaking items:  Jordin Sparks sits for an interview with The Arizona Republic.

I don’t think I’ve resisted anything yet because I’m not really sure how (my album) is going to sound . . . I’m still very open to everything. Hopefully this next week I’ll have (album) songs to listen to. I definitely want it to be radio friendly, like top 40 kind of stuff.

I definitely haven’t been approached to be any type of sex symbol or anything, but I think if I was asked I would have to resist. I wouldn’t feel comfortable exposing my midriff. However, at the same time, I do want to be cute.

And, Melinda Doolittle will be travelling to Africa with Laura Bush for her Malaria No More initiative.  Melinda talks about it at the end of this interview with LA Today. I hear she’ll be singing with the African Children’s Choir.

thanks kirsten and tyson

    Was glad to see Melinda getting some good publicity. I am sure she ad Laura Bush will hit it off immediately as both of them are LADIES to the nth degree.

    I don’t know if I would be willing to believe anything that comes off Chris Sligh’s blog. Chris likes to mess with your mind too much to be a really reliable source on any subject.

    Does anyone know how ticket sales are going for the tour. As usual, there are rumors of anything from soldout venues to partially filled ones.

    BTW, Sanjaya seems to be getting a lot of attention from the media as the tour approaches; none of it bad, believe it or no.

    Sure agree with angelia’s post. Melinda and Laura Bush are LADIES. I’m not sure what it is about Sligh. Seems a little, umm, sneaky for my taste.

    I’m looking forward to Jordin’s cd. Wish the Season 6 tour was coming closer to my home. Don’t think I’ll make it this year.

    Yeah, that Laura Bush sure is a ‘ho, ain’t she? *rolleyes*

    Good for Melinda!

    And is that the same African Children’s choir of the AI finale and Idol’s Give Back? They sure do get around, don’t they?

    Laura Bush is an incredible woman and I am so happy for Melinda.

    Bulletin from Brandon Rogers’ myspace about his first post-AI show! I guess this is the right place for it. :)

    I’m finally having my first post-Idol show! It’s gonna be a blast and I’m looking forward to seeing all of you there to enjoy the ride. Unfortunately for the younger fans, it’s 21 and over. SEE YOU THERE!!

    Yes, I believe it is the same African Children’s choir of the AI finale. This is such a wonderful thing for Melinda to get involved in. She has reason to be proud!

    No comment on Laura Bush.

    Melinda and Laura are both top rate, #1, class acts!
    I would love to be on that trip.

    I think Laura Bush is a class act too - definitely. Melinda - you go girl!

    Good for Melinda! I don’t have any feelings for Laura Bush one way or the other but glad she’s doing some good works while she’s still the First Lady.

    Thanks for the Brandon update, Sarah. I still have a soft spot for him.

    Let’s not turn this into a political discussion. Keep it focused on the Idols please–the topic of this post
