LOL, I swear, I've only been obsessed with 3 male singers in my life. First was Paul Anka, then skip about 40 years to Jeff Buckley, and now Bo. Jon BonJovi isn't exactly hamburger, either. I dunno, having Bo as my wallpaper might just be more than my poor old heart can bear, but I'm takin my chances.

Bo fans may be interested that CMT (Country Music TV) has a special "American Revolutions: Southern Rock" on Saturday night at 8 pm. It is described as a documentary that chronicles the rise of the rock n roll subgenre that is a little bit country. Among the artists profiled are Wet Willie, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels, and the Allman Brothers. The program includes interviews with contemporary performers whose style has its roots in southern rock.

I have loads more pics of Bo. I'll try to post two more of the best of the screencaps I've have soon! He looked really hot in the outfit he wore for Satisfaction and his a capella number - he looked awesome in that as well!

That Bo would outsell Carrie, in my opinion, was a given. Sounds like a re-run of Clay and Ruben. second place 'loser' way outsells the winner!

Well, I still predict these albums will sell less than Fantasia. I think there is a divide forming between the watchers of AI and album buyers. Why, you might ask? Well, I think it is because of the emphasis on the bad auditions, where was the top 2 special? where was the top 6 special - they were replaced by bad audition shows. I don't find either Carrie or Bo's voice unique, but rather standard in their genres. I think that Bo adds a lot to his songs by years of performance skills, but not buy a uniqueness to his voice. Carrie will require ProTools to record. They both need carefully selected songs to succeed, and going by the coronation song, it ain't going to happen.

Bo will be on Regis & Kelly tomorrow. Carrie was on today, but by the time I tuned in, the talking part was over and she was singing "Inside your heaven" (a song I find uninspiring). She sounded good, though.

I think Bo, within his genre, will form a strong following - especially if he gets hooked up with an excellent band. He doesn't seem overly egotistical so I think he will have a great relationship with his bandmates - which seems to be key in the rock world. If marketed properly I believe he will have a HUGE career...he already has a large advantage because of his exposure at American Idol. I think those people who like this kind of music (southern rock for the most part - and there are many of us) will enjoy having a familiar figure whom we feel we had a small part in launching his career (oddly enough - because you couldn't really find two more different personalities - not unlike Clay's devoted fans). He just needs to keep his nose clean - literally and figuratively - and stay true to what he is so excellent at! Carrie, on the other hand - I think the country fans are more resistant to the kind of "pop" influence that they feel American Idol will bring to their genre. She may be perceived as being too lightweight (although personally I've never understood the appeal of Shania Twain's brand of country and it seems to have done well by her...LOL) and too "marketed" by the mainstream country listener. I think her path will be a little less easy once her glory days of the next few months have passed. Or I could just be full of myself and know NOTHING!

Shania Twain’s "Come on Over" sold 20 million copies in America and 39 million worldwide, making it the biggest album by a female artist in history. How many times platinum is that??? I guess Carrie could stand being that kind of "lightweight"! IMO Shania's stage performances could be used as a clinic on how to perform to an audience. I agree that it's hard to believe Carrie has anything approaching that in her, but time will tell. I like Carrie and I'm cheering for her to succeed (same with Bo).

I know, Jimmer - it's just that Shania isn't "my" taste in country music (give me Patsy Cline or Loretta Lynn any day...LOL)...it's just all in perspective. However, as the years have passed I have truly enjoyed seeing Shania in interviews - she seems like a really interesting woman. I just never was that thrilled with "pop" country.

"Pop" country is the only country I really like! We went to a country club a couple of years ago with my in-laws - not our cup of tea, but they liked it. I asked if they'd be playing any Shania or some of the other cross-over artists and it was like I commited a sin even asking! LOL

Bo was great on Regis and Kelly today. Very personable. When asked if Bo were his real name he said that his real name is Harold! He said that when he was born his Grandma said he looked like Humphrey Bogart, his family call him Bogart, hence the nick name Bo! He sang 'It's all rock and roll to me' and was great.

Bo was on CBS Early Show this morning. A nice interview and two songs - he accompanied himself on guitar and sang "Drift Away" and an original song. It is just great to see someone from Idol, one week after the competition, out there doing original music and playing an instrument. We all know if he'd won, there is no way he'd be singing an original song this week... good for Bo... signs of an interesting CD in the future!

Bo was on Jon Stewart last night and it was really interesting. He came on wearing a green shirt opened at the top (he has a big tattoo on his chest), torn jeans and barefoot. Jon asked him what he thought of the judges when they gave bad reviews. He said for the most part none of them heard what the judges were saying so they just smiled most of the time. Jon also asked where they stayed, were they in a house. He said no they were all in winebegos. He gave out his bands website, sugarmoney.net. His cd comes out on the 23rd. He says he is looking forward to getting back to his band. Jon says he will talk to Bo in three months when he kicks them off his tour.

So nobody finds it intersting that Bo went on the Jon Stewart show and what he had to say? That they couldnt even hear the judges. Did they really stay in winebegos?

Yes Maris, I found it interesting, just haven't been around here to respond. Did they each have their own Winnebago? 'cuz I was thinking if they did, they wouldn't have to be concerned about any noises in the next bed. That's wild about not hearing the judges. It would explain some of the odd reactions and how Ryan often repeats what a judge said, to get a response from the singer. It must be especially difficult to hear Simon many times, when Paula and the crowd are drowning him out.

Maybe they will hook all the Winnebago's together and just pull them around the country for the tour? Then auction them on eBay in the Fall... Regarding not hearing the judges - there were an awful lot of "thank you's" when the judges said unkind things. That explains it!
