This "do-over" smells like a publicity stunt to me - how can you screw up the graphics for a show that wasn't live? This just means more revenue for Fox and for Cingular (remember those 10 cent votes have to be recast tonight).

Donny Osmond was my first concert.. I remember trying to give him a rose lol. I spotted him in the audience right away during Carrie's number.

Beach - Not just 5 min. ago the newscasters on our local news were saying they thought it was some kind of publicity stunt (said in a joking way, of course - have to cover their butts!) They really thought it seemed odd for that to happen as do I since it was not a live show! I didn't even think of all the text votes! Ay yi yi! Tish - I don't always like everything my son listens to and plays (not fond of punk and it's not his favorite of all he likes, but he does like it somewhat - enough to play in a band anyway! LOL) His first concert was Tori Amos and Ben Folds - who is one of his favorites and he plays his songs very well, if I do say so myself! The first concert he got to see since I bought his oldest sister and her best friend and him tickets as a college graduation gift. I took him to see Ben Folds when he played at his other sister's college last year and I really enjoyed that myself! My first concert was Steppenwolf! Gosh.. I don't even know if that's spelled right after all these years! LOL What I do love is when my son asks me about certain songs and artists and I can say - "I saw them in concert!" Ah, the good old days when the Buffalo Bills stadium hosted all kinds of rock concerts in the summer. Something else I've been thinking about AI this year. It's like they are pushing a "package" performer instead of an amateur who will mold into a style. There's far more "performance" than vocal this year than I recall in the past. It's probably because many of them have performed for years prior to being on AI. I remember Clay and even Ruben having some "off" weeks and they really had to work on the "presentation" part with both of them at times. The whole show just has a different "flavor" to me this year.

I have a good "old timer" story. I went into Borders one time looking for a Bette Midler CD and guess where it was located--EASY LISTENING!!!!! i felt like i was 90 . i just heard that the show will be live, but they will be replaying the tape and the judges will get to comment. i dont' know that is the best resolution to this, and after seeing the comment about Nashville Star, i think that would be the best thing. unless they don't want to prolong michaela's agony .

LOL...my first concert was David Cassidy. It was at Summerfest and people threw tomatoes at him. I was crushed! Needless to say, I liked Constantine's performance!

At least we have an extra day to prepare our stomachs for the group number.

Tonight's group number was amateurish, uninspired, and rigged to favor the producers favorites. Only a couple of them can dance and it lacked the charm of Clay and Reuben serenading each other. (Hey, if they get an extra night to practice the group number, we should get in some extra practice time too. Fair is fair.)

My first concert was Jack Wagner- Frisco from General Hospital <sigh> I thought Carrie did the best last night followed by Bo. Nadia and Anthony sucked, imo. They have great voices but they were off last night. I think Mikalah is my new John Stevens. I loved that kid no matter what people said and I love her now too. I am just a sucker for a teenage underdog, I guess. I didn't see what all the fuss was about over Nikko. Vinzell did a fabulous job though- worthy of the praise. I know I will be slammed for this but I think Scott has a better voice than Ruben. We always compare Anthony to Clay but I think Scott and Rubens styles are more alike, with Scott being the better singer. I am not one for comparing people but with all the Clay comparisons, I felt ok about it.

This is from AOL, so a link won't work unless you have AOL Diddy Set to Sign Idol Dropout Mario? Wednesday Mar 23, 2005 8:30am EST By Stephen M. Silverman Mario Vazquez CREDIT: KEVIN WINTER/GETTY The rumblings are growing even louder that American Idol early retiree Mario Vazquez has a newer, better recording contract in his back pocket – placed there by music mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. "I can't discuss that right now," Combs, clearly not denying the prospect, tells the New York Post, adding: "We're hopefully about to announce our plans for our next era." Bronx crooner Vazquez, 27, is being typically quiet. When he withdrew from the FOX talent hunt earlier this month, he blamed unspecified "personal reasons." Conventional wisdom, however, speculated that he did not wish to be tied to the restrictive Idol recording contract with RCA. As it is, Vazquez is bound to AI until the May season finale is aired.

Well, Diddy certainly needs SOMETHING. His "Making the Band" recruits sure aren't doing much that's promising. I'm hoping that the day after Mario's contract with AI expires, Diddy makes an announcement of when his first single will be released. Until then, they have lots of time to do studio work.

Shelb, My concern about this "revote" thing is that it will actually favor the younger voters who (I'm guessing) are supporting Mikayla. Those who are internet-connected are the ones most likely to know about the problem with the voting. I wouldn't have known except I love this site and view it after the shows. So I wouldn't be surprised if a fan fav gets booted just because the fan base is less computer-friendly (Scott? Anthony? Bo?). :P
