AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 13

Very good vocals.  Song is not my cuppa though.

So cute

He looks mean and mad

Lots of freckles like our Adam!

Cool dudes!



You know I had to think for a minute to remember who actually won this season......... 

Love that picture Canear.

FC he was play acting. Teens do these weird face photos all the time. It is like the hip
thing to do. Just smiling photos are passe.

No live band, singing to tracks, cancelling and going into smaller venues.....Will there even be a tour next season????  No stars will come from this past season.

Alex and Sam will be glad they can play instruments. It's really sad how it's changed. I've been to some great AI concerts. Guess those days are done.

I wouldn't go if it were free.   I think two things are going on.  The show is way past its prime.  People are not that interested any more in the winner or finalists.  And this year's crop was lackluster and about as exciting as watching water boil.  I wish they would pull the plug and put the show out of its misery.  Think back to the early years with the tour excitement of Clay's year and Adam's year (and others).  There's no comparison.

Although he didn't do it on the show, Caleb plays piano and guitar. Maybe Malaya will bring her tuba.

They'll have to play their instruments if they want any live instrumentals at all. That's pretty cheap of AI.

Guess they have to cheap out in order to pay JLo.   

WOW that sucks and I am glad I decided not to go.

I think Alex and Sam will be fine accompanying themselves.

That suits the type of music they perform.

The others IMO not so much.

It is disgusting how much they pay JLo, mostly for walking across the stage in short skirts. And then skimp on the tour where the very people who support the show spend money to see.

One other thing The people on the tour will get practically nothing and that is because last years tour was pretty much a bust. I feel bad for them all.

I wonder what is really going on????

That definitely is very puzzling. There's been speculation ever since last week,

I do not believe Dexter is sick.

He must have done something grievous to be let out of his contract.

Has anyone seen 1 review on the concert?

I looked and couldn't find one for Boston.

No, but I have not gone looking.  Other than Jess I just don't give a hoot about this group.  Having trouble remembering their names to be honest.  When I read a post at The CH that Dexter Roberts left the tour I had to Google him to see which one he was  

Actually, there is a rumor out there that he has a bad heart.  Who knows what has really happened.  The fact that they didn't announce it has me baffled for sure.  In the past if one of them was sick it was always stated before the show began.  The not saying a word is just odd.

Exactly FC, When Kat missed some shows it was announced.

And as he is doing some country gigs I doubt it is his heart.

  

Sam posted the link to the online tour merchandise site today and I went to check it out. He's got his very own shirt and it even has the tour dates on it! Scroll down the page and you'll see it. It's in the third row down in the middle.

That's a nice t-shirt! I also like Alex's poster.

Yep, Alex's poster is pretty awesome!

Is the tour selling well?

I read that is was not. 

This year's winner (Caleb I think his name is?), who is a huge Adam fan, went to see Adam with Queen and he raved about Adam!!  So extra points for him

Speaking of that.....
