So 600+ is a lot to follow?

Don't drop anybody -- especially not any that mention Kris! You're always have such interesting info. I only follow about 40 people.

Well I ditched Claude, but I'm thinking that's the session that didn't work out. But he's easy enough to find, he tweets a million times a day.

Sass Jordan is funny on twitter.. and Jacob is so cryptic it might as well be one of his blogs. Trace Cyrus. I see why you ditched him. lol

The Glee cast are fun tweeters. (there's 10 right there, lol)

But that is still much more interesting than Scott's tweets. LOL Who I'm still following. (why? I don't know) At least he's not twitter crazy, by the time he annoys me his tweet has moved down the list. (there are benefits to following 600 people) :)

This is interesting though. Billboard just tweeted a new song by Carrie Underwood. And the article mentions the people she's working with.

Kara, Max Martin, Mike Elizondo, Mark Bright. It's a who's who of Idol land writers. I think all of them have worked on Adam, Allison, Danny and Kris's albums for various songs.

Too many? (I skim... shhh - don't tell and then I search) People follow you and then you feel obligated into following them.. and if they aren't a porn star or a direct marketing scheme I feel that I can mention Kris to them occasionally in a non irritating way (although that might be debatable, lol)

Actually, they're mostly bands. I followed some record labels and their bands followed me, so I felt I had to follow them. It's a slippery slope my friend.

Thanks to all this talk, I actually looked at who was following me and blocked a few of them. CLICK! Banished! Such a power trip.

People follow you and then you feel obligated into following them.
How did you get so many people following you? You're so popular! I'm not. I now have about 12 followers. Well, exactly 12, really. They're like my twitter posse. My homies.

Oh, and SleepinIn, I followed Claude Kelly for a couple of weeks, too. I forget why I stopped. Are there any good people or sites I should be following that I don't know about?

missaddicted, David gave a shout-out to Kris and Adam? Nice.

Yes, yes he did! I can't believe I forgot to mention it yesterday. But, it wasn't the first time, he does it almost everytime he sings Little Lies.

Tweet from Kris: I just saw the "I've fallen and I can't get up" commercial. It's moments like these that I live for.

I'm not sure I got what he was refering to here...

I have exactly 4 followers on Twitter. But really, I only tweet to trend stupid stuff, so I can't say that I really care.

I have no idea. I know exactly 2 of them personally. Others are music or entertainment related, they tend to follow you if you mention them. I'll follow you ross :)

As for twitterers to follow. My suggestions


@GrantLCBCR3 from CBC radio 3 is interesting - but it's all Canadian music on that show. You may never hear this stuff .. cause unless I'm listening to radio 3
I never hear this stuff.
That being said it's usually good music.

@CoveredThat If you like cover songs.

@PasteMagazine -- Paste Magazine.. lol

@Strombo - Cause he's awesome.. and his radio show is coming back in November. (CBC radio 2) He has really diverse and interesting music tastes. You can watch his tv on youtube it's called The Hour - he also interviews diverse and interesting non-music people. He used to be on Much - way back when they played videos and talked music.

@billboardmusic - Bilboard Magazine.

Don't follow @hawksleyworkman today.. he's tweeting about everything. Although some of it is really lyrical. lol

Aw, David is sweet. I didn't know he brought up Kris and Adam all the time. That's awesome.

Kevin is good too I guess.

@KEVINRUDOLFnews Kris Allen and I........completed recording two new tracks. We'll be mixing next week."

This is odd.

twitter is a-buzz with the news that JC Chavez recorded a demo for Kris's album -- and oh, yeah here it is on his website for download...
JC-Source.net - Your #1 source for everything JC Chasez

It's a nice song..nothing against it - Kris would sound great on it- but this will annoy me if it's on the album - SINCE IT'S ONLINE BY SOMEONE ELSE AGAIN!!

Thanks, SleepinIn. I'll have to check some of them out. My followers are also people who followed me, and in some cases asked me to follow them. SleepinIn, if you follow me you will see my picture, and that scares me (and may scare you, too). lol. I hate that pic. I can't really figure out how to put pictures online or I'd put a better one on there. Ha. I'll have to think about it...

Here is Daniel Allen singing the National Anthem. He has a pretty good voice, but you can sort of tell the difference between a good voice and a great one and his isn't very distinctive or special. (imho.) Still, he can sing. (A lot better than me.)

Water Cooler Convo: Daniel Allen Sings National Anthem

missaddicted, this is the I've Fallen And I Can't Get Up commercial. Back in the 90's everyone said it. It was a catchphrase, based on this commercial.

YouTube - Life Call Commercial "I've fallen and I can't get up!"

Now they have done a remake of the commercial, and I saw it on TV recently.

Listening to the song now.

- SINCE IT'S ONLINE BY SOMEONE ELSE AGAIN!!

It's a demo, not released. Most songs are demo'ed right? That's not a cover. Is it?

Oh, you know what? We can't worry about this crap-ola. Seriously. It's all going to be good. Good, do you hear??

By the way, this song is not so good. Kris could write a better song in his sleep.

ETA: And aren't they finishing the album in 4 days? Isn't this late for a new song?

Ha, no worries ross. :)

Thanks for Daniel's clip - I looked for that but couldn't find anything. He has a really nice voice, but I agree it's not as strong as Kris's.

Here's an good article about Rob Thomas. Where he talks about the press's reaction to his music. We talked about this I think in regards to Kris when he was compared to Rob Thomas in the NY paper.

CANOE -- JAM! Music: Rob Thomas OK with 'mom-rock'

The best quote.

"Sometimes I think when people try and critique you, you're actually like: 'Oh, yeah, that's me. I'm cool with that."'

I was going to.. but then I thought it might be too stalkery especially when Kris wasn't following her at that time.

Is it November yet?
