Idol Rumors
Tuesday, February 13, 2007
I'm excited about Hollywood week! I'll be blogging it, hopefully live unless an ice storm gets our power, later tonight. In the meantime, I've Googled blogs for some information about American Idol and have come up with the following information. Probably not new, but might as well make a record of it.
- American Idol might raise it's age limit from 28 to 30. Still excludes me, but hey - maybe it will catch up with me one day when I'm retired!
- Did you watch the Grammys on Sunday night? They had this big deal where three "hopefuls" (all girls) were in the running for doing a solo with Justin Timberlake on the show. They kept cutting to the three girls, smiling and huddled together. And people heard vague snippets of what they sang and were encouraged to text in a vote (I didn't). Robyn Troup won the right to get on that stage with Justin - and she sounded good. It has come to my attention that Robyn auditioned for Season 6. She wont' say how she did, and I can't find any mention of her in the Hollywood round spoiler thread.
- Simon Cowell accused of fixing American Idol? According to this very brief article, some unknown person or persons is accusing Cowell of "planting a British pop star who was once signed to his record company in the second round of American Idol". I'm skeptical. One, why fix it when it works so well? Wouldn't he have fixed it all the way through? And if so, how do you explain Taylor Hicks as last season's winner, when Simon was clearly pimping Chris Daughtry?
- From the "duh" files. Producers won't let American Idol finalists blog. I'm not surprised. When you follow the spoiler link, you find a lot of links to contestant MySpace pages. NOWHERE can you find a mention of their disposition with respect to AI. And I agree generally about not letting them blog or post during the competition. It should be about the singing, and not about who has a great blog.
