I hope that Chris S. gets some of his humor back. He seems more subdued that when we first saw him.

This is one of those things I can't even bring myself to link to. Go to google and in the news search type "Mario Vasquez" in quotes and see the top headlines that are listed.

sorry about Brad Delp. He's from the town I work in. Played frequently around here with his tribute band Beatlejuice, and hubby always wanted to go see him but we never got around to it.. bummer..

I saw that, Naja. Why would he wait so long to say anything? I does kind of make you wonder though.

You ask, "Why would he wait so long?" .... Well let's see the victim could have filed 2 years ago, but he was just tramautized in the restroom, his superiors didn't support him, he had just lost his job...he probably had a lot of things going on in his head... now the Statute of Limitations is rearing and it is the time...

...either that or Now he sees Mario Vasquez as having a deeper pocket than he did 2 years ago???

To me it seems more credible because of the wait. If he wanted to make major headlines he'd have done it at the time. It's also possible he signed some contract during his employment that limited what his rights until a set period after his termination. It's odd but it's not like Mario Vasquez is now some major star, he hasn't done anything since leaving AI has he? Probably nothing most AI fans have heard of anyway.

He released an album about a year ago (around the time of the last American Idol) but I don't think it went anywhere.

Also in the news, the theme for this week is tunes from the Diana Ross and the Supremes songbook ... should be interesting ...

Wow, I don't think I ever heard any of his stuff. Maybe I heard it but didn't know it was his. I miss the names of the artists of half the songs I hear on the radio.

He was a beautiful young man (kind of in the Justin Guarini mold) with a great smile and he sang and moved quite well. He was a definite front runner in his season, featured from the get-go at the auditions. No concrete reason was ever given for his removing himself from the competition. Given these allegations I guess we will find out now whether it was voluntary or it was one of those kind of "get out or get prosecuted" things.

I can't wait to see what Ross/Supremes song that Lakisha sings! Wonder if the stylist will give them a "Dreamgirls" look for the Supremes songs?

The guys already have the cards stacked against them - won't this song choice show case the girls. Seems a bit unfair.

Oh back to Idol...

LMBO at the thought of some of the guys singing Diana Ross. Although, now that I think of it, I think some of 'em kinda sound "girly" (their voices, nothing else, not that there's anything wrong with that!).

The whole theme thing is unfair, especially associated with a single singer. All contestants will be berated for song choice, not making the song their own and choosing (ha) material that is beyond them.

Melinda and Lakisha will likely fair the best as they have the most natural talent.

The field is a bit more even if it is a genre theme, even then there are always issues.

Please ... there have been many weeks where the theme has been male singers or male groups. If these people want to be professional it's time for them to learn to as the judges always say "make it their own". DR has plenty of songs that they can sit down with the music director and her, for that matter, and change it into something they can sing. It's been expected of the girls for seasons, so I'm sure the guys can do it too.
