The word "opportunist" comes to mind for Pia.

Pia is going to be singing on DWTS and Mark is going to be dancing...sounds like a major publicity push for me...convenience dating?

Maybe I'm just a cockeyed optimist, but I think it's sweet. And I doubt if it's the romance of the century, but I don't doubt that they are currently an item. And if they and their respective shows are taking advantage of a little cross-promotion, well why the heck not. Strike while the iron is hot, etc etc. I wish her well and if this boosts her career, well I think that's great. As for stage presence, it will come with experience. I for one think she's fine as is. :-)

People's interest cools so quickly these days. I kind of admire Pia for working so hard to promote herself while she is still hot. She has to do it while she can. There is no point in waiting or hesitating.

I don't know anything about that relationship. How close were they and how long were they going out?

Ken Warwick, Idol exec producer in morning conference call as reported by MJsbigblog.com - regarding Pia on DWTS:

"Ken has know the producer of DWTS for a long time. They came to Idol with the request for Pia. After a short discussion, they said yes. Saw no reason to hold Pia back."

More Ken quotes:

Allowing Pia to have her music out there before the winner…would that take the wind out of the sails of the winner?

They may be surprised how marketable she is. Or rather not. I wouldn't spend a dime on her. She was even bring on Ellen.

Um, there's a reason she was voted off. A lot of people just don't like her.

LOL. I meant she was even boring on Ellen. I liked her at first, but... not so much any more. I really don't like how she's being pushed down our throats. If I didn't really like her much before, all this faux marketing crap is pushing me over the edge. She really isn't all that likeable, is she?

I think that's the problem. Okay voice (although she screeches on the high notes), but no personality. Zero. None. I think Jimmer described her best when he called her a "singing stick."

That said, oh yeah, true!

LOL - I think I missed that too cause I don't recall writing it. I agree that she is rather rigid.

Ok, this may have already been discussed previously but just wondering about James 'tick'. How sometimes he arches his eyebrows and/or blinks hard. Has he ever mentioned in the earlier episodes what causes it or how he copes with it? Sometimes when he is talking it is very distracting.

He has Tourette's Syndrome, so yes, he ticks. I think he does an amazing job controlling it for the most part.

Miz, he has Tourette's AND Aspergers. So the fact that he is on stage, performing like he does, and so well, is even more impressive. I think the man is a bit of a genius.

Cook won over a teenage little boy. DeWyz won over an "alternative." Pia was unlucky enough to be a woman on a season with a bunch of other boring average singers. I think Pia was also shoved down our throats, often. And I think her ego began to grow as it became evident how small her personality really was.

And don't forget the ballad factor. That woman sand ONLY ONE song that was not a ballad. So not only was she boring, but she sang BALLADS!!!! Constant ballads is even more boring!

Wasn't that you, Jimmer? I could've sworn it was you? Maybe not . . .
