Chris Medina was on with Jay Leno last night. Apparently he has a CD. That was quick work.
Not unusual. A lot of bands that play locally record cd’s to sell at their gigs. He’s smart to try to make money while he’s still in the minds of the public.
So we won’t even be able to start this until top 12? How stupid! Now, of course, I just have to remember how to log into it…
I am not looking forward to more wailing/screeching/oversinging from Jacob and Tourette’s dude.
AI is known for its padding, but this was ridiculous. It was just the same thing over and over and over and over. They were reading almost the exaxt same script to each and every contestant. Even for AI, this was kind of insulting.
The last two years the arguably best performer in the competition has finished in second place behind a bland, inoffensive cuteboy. Any ideas who will be the bland cuteboy winner this year? :dubious:
When we do have the Pool, please make a thread in the Game Room so it stands out more. I want in.
My guess is Tim Halperin or Paul McDonald.
Paul is anything but bland, IMHO. Tim is a good choice, or maybe Julie Zorilla.
Here’s what I would have done if I were AI.
Judges pick top-24 and the other 16 have their “sing for your life” on the website. The public then votes for the lucky 13th for man and woman and the show starts with 26.
I would hardly call Lee DeWyze bland or cute. Inoffensive, maybe, but in the context of AI that doesn’t mean much.
Lee DeWho?
Lee, DeGuy who I picked to win it all from the very beginning – a fact of which I continue to remain very disproportionately proud. 
Hey, I picked David Cook to win it from his audition.
