| Keith has said he does not know his fate so he is doing his day job which is working on his new cd. I pray this means he is staying and then they hire Adam and two other great people. Shannon | |

| Well, since they keep saying there will only be three judges next season, Keith staying lessens Adam's chances so I hope Keith is out. | |

| Yeah, Keith needs to get the boot. Unless the panel is Keith, Jhud and Adam or Keith, any female name them and Adam. | |

| It's at the bottom of the article. Adam is ahead so far so I guess the Claymtes aren't voting hard yet. | |

| I don't mind the Kelly votes. Idol probably knows for sure they want her. It is the last spot - if truly between Adam and Clay that I am worried about. I want Adam winning all the polls in case that is something Idol is keeping an eye on. | |

| Not to tick off any Clay fans but SERIOUSLY? Adam or Clay Adam = International Star, Handsome, Young Trendsetter. Gorgeous, Fashion Plate, charming, well spoke likeable Clay= has been, dowdy, dreary poor fashion sense, snarky and mean. Idol knows all about invested Fanbases. I just really cannot fathom why Clay is even being discussed. | |

| I am so glad Nicki is officially out. I'm glad about Mariah too. I liked her but she really didn't do very much so I am totally OKAY with that. | |

- And so it begins?
The American Idol live concert scheduled for Friday July 5 has been CANCELLED.
Is this the start of a series of cancellations for a poorly selling tour? We’ll soon find out.
ETA: Tour dates scheduled before July 19 have been cancelled, including, Las Vegas, Tulsa, Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Rosemont, St. Louis.
“Production rehearsals have been pushed by a couple of weeks which unfortunately affects some of the early dates on the tour itinerary. The ‘American Idol Live!’ concert scheduled for June 29 at Chaifetz Arena has been canceled. All orders will be returned to the credit card of purchase. If you do not receive a refund or have further questions, contact MetroTix at 314-534-1111. For cash transactions, tickets can be returned to the Chaifetz Arena box office to receive a refund. The ‘American Idol Live!’ tour now begins on July 19 in Kent, WA and ends in Nashville on August 31.”
Aw. St. Louis is Curtis Finch Jr.’s hometown. 30 tour dates remain.
The statement is worded as if rehearsals were set back for some unknown reason–perhaps for Candice Glover to work on her album, which is set for a July release. But I can’t help but think that if the tour was selling well, there’s no way they’d just cancel 10 dates. Candice can record her album on the road if necessary.
These cancellations HAVE to be about money. Candice and Kree’s singles have only sold 71K and 33K respectively in 2 weeks–the lowest selling winners singles ever. Even lower than Season 9. That tour was cut short by 7 cities, but it didn’t happen until the tour was underway.
This is just one more bit of bad news for the struggling franchise. Can American Idol be saved?

| I feel really bad for this group but I tell ya I feel really bad for next seasons group. Remember what I wrote here on what Stefano put out there. He said that is there is a bad tour the next season tour is pretty awful cause they get paid less. They get paid less cause the last season tour did awful. The tour for this season may get paid well cause I believe last seasons tour did well Stefano's group got paid crappy cause the season 9 tour did badly. Shannon | |

| Well who knows if they'll never continue on with the tradition of the tour for next year. They might drop it. If they don't then unfortunately yes the next batch will get paid pretty poorly since it's based off this year's group. | |

| It is sad that the tour is slipping in sales. I have always thought it would be a good idea to have cd's for sale of the winner and signed contestants during the Idol tour. To get the cd signed etc, people would buy it. If they would drop ticket prices to say 50 bucks, I bet the tour would sell out. Dang for AI5, AI7 & AI8 you couldn't buy a ticket via regular means. I spent so much money to see my boyfriends Chris, Jason and Adam. LOL Not only at 1 arena but multiple arena's. Man I wish I knew what Angie's sales were. I bet she sold better than Candice and Kree. | |

| It is sad that the tours sales are slipping. It's unfortunate but that's the way it is when you consider certain factors. | |

| That is true...........and part of it was their determination to have a female winner. Look where it got them. There wasn't anyone with the star power of a P2 or an Adam to draw the people in.
I think it would still sell if they had someone with the 'star' power. They cancelled shows in Season 9 (Lee's season) didn't they but they came back in 10 and 11. | |

| Yes TPTB forced their hands and this is what they get for doing so. They wanted things to be a certain way and now they're paying the price. I doubt they much care though since it isn't them getting short changed at least not by much. Although, I certainly think it does effect them greatly and in many other ways. The last two years were so popular and brought things back up in a HUGE way. If they simply hadn't of been so damn stubborn and manipulated everything this year could have been that way too. The way I see it this year saw a lot of major drops in many areas of the show. The cancellation of some shows for the tour is only a continuation of that. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we saw more drops.

| It isn't even star quality for this tour it is where is all the hot guys. Seriously most seasons had at least one or two hot guys in the top 10 and this season there is not one. Paul is really good looking but I have not seen him do anything sexy. For Season three I admit the hot and sexy factor was not there but for me George and how adorable and handsome he is made up for that for that season. He and Diana were the reason I wanted to see that season's show and I left that concert a very happy gal. Eta: John Stevens is also very adorable and Handsome and I loved seeing him up there having so much fun. By the way he is another if you get to meet do it cause he is a very sweet guy. Anyway back to what I was saying for many the hot guy factor is a big thing with these concerts and this season is big time lacking in that area and it is showing in sales. Info on past AI tours: S1 - 30 shows - 258,526 (82%) tix sold - $8,119,342 revenue S2 - 41 shows - 411,005 (85%) tix sold - $15,977,802 revenue S3 - 50 shows - 258,577 (60%) tix sold - $11,400,424 revenue S4 - 44 shows - 392,094 (89%) tix sold - $17,364,290 revenue S5 - 60 shows - 656,550 (96%) tix sold - $35,829,661 revenue S6 - 59 shows - 383,331 (69.3%) tix sold - $22,973,240 revenue **these numbers are for 55 of the 59 shows** S7 - 53 shows - 493,296 (85.1%) tix sold - $29,906,507 revenue S8 - 52 shows - 484,434 (86%) tix sold - $30,139,328 revenue S9 - 44 shows - no exact numbers allowed to escape the black hole lol - Pollstar listed $9,600,000 revenue but not sure if that was confirmed as true S10 - 49 shows - 403,695 (97%) tix sold - $22,002,464 revenue S11 - 46 shows - 252,703 (84%) tix sold - $14,413,023 revenue *disclaimer* these numbers come straight from wikipedia so if there are a few numbers off, that's the price of convenience Shannon | |

| I am not surprised at all that ticket sales are bad for this group. Who is the draw????? Not the winner with the worst sales ever! As I predicted. Sorry, but I said all along if Candice wins she will flop. Her album sales will be just as bad. There is NO buzz or hype for this girl at all!
Wasted season and it's all on TPTB that forced it. | |
