AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 10

Potsie, here's the link to the video of Scotty's friends talking about the eyebrow thing!

Mostly the microphone thing annoys me about Scottie. It is very distracting. Nobody needs to jump in and say you love it, because I know some do. I'm saying I don't, and I think he will be advised to change his microphone habits. But I could be wrong.

I remember when Simon told Clay to stop making faces while singing. I appreciated that. There is nothing wrong with giving new artist/performers some advise to make their performances better.

Exactly!

Die hard fans will love everything, but the casual viewer will have trouble accepting those pesky little things.

Thanks CC! I was thinking his friends on Idol said it, but it's his friends from home. Hee.

To make it really big, Scottie will have to appeal to the entire country audience, not just the people who voted for him on AI. He will be groomed for superstardom, just the way Carrie was. I'm sure there are some very big people in the industry looking at Scottie. He is a little rough around the edges now, but that will change.

Agree completely!

Both of my Paul's are getting married. McCartney and McDonald.

I am not so sure about that in one of his latest interviews he said he will remain a country boy at heart and that the Hollywood scene won't have any effect on him, I think he prides his mannerisms as part of his very country persona.

He is only 17. He will learn some things he will have to change if he wants a career. Not just talking eyebrows either. Just in general.

Love is in the air isn't Spirit?!!

A congratulations is in order for Season 10 runner-up Lauren Alaina. Her single, “Like My Mother Does,” has become the highest debut for a second-place Idol finalist in six years with sales of 121,204.

“This is so awesome!” Lauren said in a statement released today by Mercury Nashville/19 Recordings/Interscope. “’American Idol’ has changed my life, so I’m excited that the songs I performed on there are doing so well. I can’t believe that I have a song out on country radio, much less that so many stations started playing it right away. I can’t wait to get out and meet everybody and thank them personally for playing my song.

Lauren, like Scotty, is in Nashville this week recording a debut album. She will also participate in CMA Music Festival by presenting at the CMT Music Awards on June 8th, making her Grand Ole Opry debut on June 10th and playing in the City Of Hope Celebrity Softball game on June 11th.

Today, Idol Season 10 contestant Tim Halperin released the music video for an original tune called "The Last Song."

Tim performed the song on American Idol and Kidd Kraddick, a nationally syndicated radio morning show, has been playing it consistently.

Halperin tells AI Now that the funding for the video came from fan donations, including a lot of Idol fans. "I think this video demonstrates the power of independent collaboration, apart from a major label or American Idol," he says.

That is an awesome video! Very unusual, but good!! Thanks Teddy!!!

I like the song and the video - but his voice is just nothing special.

Tour Pics.

Thia:


Pia:

Those are nice. I like the dresses especially the style of Thia's. I like the color of Pia's more. Something in the faces just seems strange to me though.

It is how they are doing the photos. If you look at Stefano's, Paul's, James, and Casey's you will see what I am talking about.

a group shot:

That's actually a pretty cool group shot. I love how they're all doing their own thing and not looking directly into their camera.

Yeah.

Here is Laurens tour shot:



I have been looking for Haleys, Scotty's and the others but can't find them.

Shannon

Oh that's a gorgeous picture! Probably my favorite of the girls you've posted so far.

Obviously, a very expensive professional photo shoot.

Okay I have finally found what all those photos are from and I do not believe they are for the tour as I once thought they were. I believe Entertainment Weekly did something in their magazine for them like they used to do for idol,(till season 8 when they screwed over the top 10 and then they didn't even do anything for season 9). Check this out. Just so it is known all their pics are here so we finally have Scotty's, Haley's, Jacob's and any others I could not find before.

This is really good for this season but EW not off the hook. Still ticked off at them for not making a special issue for Season 8's top 10!!

here are the pics:

Check out one of the writers of EW's top 30 AI performances. Clay got in there twice which is totally deserved cause the two that were picked of his were spectacular Also Kelly got there twice and the choices for her were great ones to.. I am stunned at the number 1 though and I love David Cook but that performance was not number 1 worthy. I honestly would of put the performance she has up of Bo's as number 1 for the reason he sang that song freaking Accapella and when he was totally so sick,(yes no one really knew that at the time cause he thought he had food poisoning but he was really really sick). Eta: I adore Heartless from Kris but his best performances were "Ain't No Sunshine" and "She Works Hard For the Money".

Eta: Am saddened to not see Trouble or In the Ghetto for Taylor.

Thanks for all that Angel.

Thanks Angel for finding out the story behind those pictures. I appreciate it! I looked through them to see the ones you didn't find before and I really liked Scotty's. It was a great picture of him!

Here's Scotty at the CMT awards.
