There's nowhere to post general stuff related to AI, so can I start this?

I accidentally came across the most halarious thread. It's an oooolllld one, and part of the humor is just seeing the predictions prior to the outcomes (I think it must've started early in season 3).

It's a thread predicting the future of assorted AI contestants. It needs updating from you creative types :-)

I am thrilled as punch to see this. In an interview about a month ago, Constantine was talking about how he was in talks with Kelsey Grammar's production company about a show..Now in todays news, it's in ink! WOO HOO!


"the New York rocker inked a pilot deal with Kelsey Grammer's production company,"

Okay, so this afternoon I was cleaning my kitchen and my daughter and her friend were going to the American Idol concert with my neighbors across the street. To make a long story short, my neighbor's husband decided he didn't want to go so within a half hour I found myself driving to the AI concert in Grand Prairie. I can't remember the last time I was at a concert and I sure didn't expect to be going to this one! And even better it was free!

The concert was much better than I expected. Each contestant came out and sang individually, with some of them doing duets. Jessica started out the show and she was very strong and very amazing and looked marvelous. I think Anwar came next, followed (I think I remember the order mostly) by Constantine, Nikko, Scott, Nadia (who was AWESOME) and an intermission. After the intermission Anwar came out and played electric piano and then Vonzelle came out (in a horrible (IMO) dress and they did a duet, and then she sang. Never was a Vonzelle fan - still aren't. Then Anthony came out was in amazingly good voice and has really matured over the summer, followed by Bo - who looked really cool with a kind of crooked stick for a cane. He is pretty slow moving but he came out and played piano (can't remember the song), rocked out on Traffic, did (possible one of his own) songs with a cool guitar and then sang Sweet Home Alabama. Then Carrie came out and did 3-4 numbers (most of the usual suspects) and then on her American Idol song the rest of the group came out and sang. Then they did a really good version of Lean on Me and Rocking in the USA. After they left the stage and the crowd kept clapping Bo and Carrie came out and sang, with acoustic guitars, the song that the title is something like "God Bless the Broken Road" (Rascal flatts?) and were really good. Then the group came out and sang another song and the concert was over.

It really was awesome. The performances were all really good, and surprisingly enough one of my non-Bo favorites was Scott and Jessica doing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" (on old Bonnie Tyler song). I was impressed by how well everyone's voices sounded and thought Nadia was amazing...she was playing an electric guitar when she first came out and she looked and sounded fabulous. She still has that beautiful/ugly thing she does with her face when she sings but the woman can sing and she has tons of charisma and stage presence. Jessica was also in really great voice and seemed to be featured on several numbers. I felt the same way about Anwar as I did on the show - he has an amazing voice but he just doesn't draw you into his performances. Vonzelle still reminds me of a beauty pageant contestant and whomever recommended the dress she had on should be shot. It was this horrible color - either yellow or lime green depending on how the lights hit it - short in front in several staggered layers and long in back (much prettier from the back than the front) and she spent her time moving back and forth across the stage at a dead run, it seemed. I was really trying to like her, because she has a beautiful voice and did a great job on a Whitney song, but she just doesn't work for me.

Carrie, on the other hand, who never was a particular favorite of mine, has really become comfortable with herself, and looked really good and relaxed on stage. She is thinner now than when she was on the show and she was in great voice.

Constantine - well, he's Constantine. He still mugs for the camera, still has women throwing things at him, and still seems to be enjoying himself mightily. But I think he probably feels that way whether he's in front of an audience or in front of a mirror. My 8-year old and the 12-year old with us both screamed their lungs out for him...LOL.

And Bo - the man is hot, hot, hot and totally cool, cool, cool (does that make any sense?)! He is obviously quite encumbered by his cast but he, in this highly partisan crowd (we are close to Oklahoma) received as much or more support from the crowd than Carrie. It will be interesting to see where his career goes after this. I truly hope it is up, up, up.

So that's how I spent my night. Wish you were all there with me so we could have rushed the stage. As it was I ended up in the first row of the first balcony so we had a great view. But not close enough to touch!

And excuse any typos...it's been a long evening!

Wow, the concert sounds good, Roxip! Thanks for giving us such a detailed review. It sounds like you had lots of fun, too.

I had an amazing time, probably because I wasn't planning to go so there was no way I could be disappointed - but it truly was a good show.
