Canadian Idol Fans Watching American Idol

Danny has more followers than Kris? That's wrong...

They were on twitter weeks before Kris. When he started they already had thousands. Funny, he's almost caught up to Danny now.

Thanks for that video of the "real" top 3 (as they say). Would have liked Kris to say more. But that's Kris.

That Outsiders clip wouldn't open for me when I tried it. It was the cast today, talking about the movie.

I know that post is weird. I edited it, because I was pleading ross not to leave because of my joke... while he was posting.

Leave? That gave me a huge laugh! Which I kind of needed, today. You guys are both so funny.

SleepinIn, that Nickleback crowd was bat**** crazy.

I knew you wouldn't leave!! I was just trying to be funny again (which doesn't always work!), but then I saw that you had posted while I was writing my plea, so it didn't make any more sense!

No I got it, I'm just tired! lol Then I post nonsense.

So, guys, that little top Kradison video reminds me of a not so burning question I always wonder about: why did TPTB not offer Danny a contract? After all, he was pimped all season. Did they figure that if he couldn't make Top 2 after all that pimping, he just wasn't popular enough to sell records?

I think that Danny has a real lack of direction musically, and he doesn't seem to know a lot of music, and that really hampered him in the last few weeks of the competition. I think gospel music or gospel-ly country would really work well for his voice, so I do hope it works for him. I also think Danny is the only one that could have sang NB that could have made an actual hit out of it in an unironic way. (not a style of song I would have listened to.. but there is a market) Neither Adam or Kris liked the song for themselves. That was easy to see on both of their faces. And I'm with them. LOL.

I haven't joined, but I'm now quite guilty of going on twitter every day to follow Kris, David Cook and his bandmates.​

You are on a slippery slope.. you just don't see it.. lol. It started that way for me.... just sayin'. It IS entertaining, and I hardly ever tweet.

Plus, there were a LOT of imitation Kris's - I think during the show there was one and it had a ton of followers.. but alas it was a fake Kris. And his twitter name isn't as easy to find as say KrisAllen would be.

True, me too. Speak to us Kris... lol

Here's a link to some Idol interviews.. keep an eye on that page the radio guy just interviewed Kris, so it might show up there eventually.

Here's a tweet for you Missaddicted..

thedavidcookI can't leak the Canada dates until we have the green light. I am just as anxious. The odds are we will be in @MrRaineMaida territory. ~D

David and Raine... nice..

TEASER VID From ELLE SHOOT!!! (squueee -- no wings.. and lame Paula question.. but they look awesome)

aw there was another part..sweet. I love these three. That is all.

Thanks for the videos. Yay, SleepinIn! You really come through with this stuff. I think you're spoiling us. I don't even have to look on YouTube.

I actually didn't like Kris's look in the Elle shoot. Can they do a little better for this guy? He looked like the young minister just come to town. Ooh, he's single, let's bring him some cookies!
Sexy.

They even managed to make Archie look cool last year. It's not hard to make Kris look cool. Okay, I'll wait for the wings and the guyliner. :-?

Pet Adam peeve: The slick/fake way he answers interview questions. ("Every city has its own energy") You always see the wheels turning round and round. Never at a loss for words. It would be nice if the mask slipped a little.

But let me be positive...

Yeah, I loved seeing them together again.

Allsion mentioned the home town concerts and it sounded like she put some thought into trying to answer the question. And it was a good answer. It said something, but didn't offend anybody who's city wasn't mentioned. Clever.

Danny theory: I think iTunes sales numbers have a lot to do with it. Only one week's sales were released (by accident. Whatever). He didn't sell any music.

I'm not sure I agree about him and NB. If he wasn't popular he wouldn't sell it. I know many people theorize it was written for him, but I never believed that. You may be right, I don't know. I can't picture a lot of teens and preteens tweeting how they're listening to NB by Danny Gokey and loving it, yet you see this in the case of Kris. Because they love him. Just my opinion.

Yeah, saw it earlier!! I don't think he means that they'll be playing with Raine/OLP, just that they were going to play in Canada, where Raine is from.

In any case, I've pretty much decided to buy a ticket for the show in Clifton Park, NY a.k.a. the middle of nowhere, on October 9. I'll meet some other fans down there and one of them even invited the others to sleep at her house (she seems to have a lot of space!). Can't say no to free lodging! I'll just need to rent a car for a couple of days. If they do come to Montréal afterwards, well, I'll just go see them again! But, there's a chance that they won't come to Montréal at all and would just go to Toronto or something, which would mean I'd still need to travel anyway.

I have no opinion about Kris' outfit for the shoot. I'm not really a fan, but I don't hate it either. I want to see the wings and the boots!

He looked like the young minister just come to town. Ooh, he's single, let's bring him some cookies! Sexy.

LOL. That's a good description though...

I enjoyed the other video, but it's so hard to hear them! I could not understand at all the last part. Kris receives Batman stuff? LOL!

A girl in the fan group called (I think) KrisTogether (?) sent him the Batman t- shirt he wore recently. This is the person who told me (via twitter) to shop for something for Kris at Urban Outfitters. Maybe I should try to find out from her why people send him Batman stuff!!

Someone in the comments below the video said maybe it's because of the cape he wore in that comedy sketch...

Glad you're going!

KrisTogether RT @kcradiocom Andrew Cook will interview Kris Allen and Matt Giraud on KCRadio.com tomorrow noon-2 central.Listen at http://www.kcradio.com

I'm not sure I'll be able to listen tomorrow afternoon, but Andrew is a hoot. He actually wants to become a TV host when he's finished with college. And he loves to laugh at his older brother during his radio show. They battled it out on Twitter last week during Andrew's show, it was hilarious.

I really liked the look. It was dressy without being a suit, wasn't plaid (I know it's in.. but.. seriously sick of the unwashed plaid tour shirt) and you know they weren't gonna spill the wings so easily. I actually thought he looked the best of the three.

That's a good point. But, Danny's potential audience wouldn't be teens I don't think. This is all speculation on my part of course, I'm sure he has teen fans but I don't see him selling well to that market. You're right sales is probably a big part of the reason, but that all leads back to song choice. Danny picked wonky songs.

Alex Band tweet (2 hrs. ago):

Just found out I meet Kris Allen in Reading, Pennsylvania the morning of the 7th and I have a show in Memphis the night before! Helicopter??

 

[ross 1]

Two days ago:

Working on kris Allen song ideas more and day dreaming of playing blackjack in Vegas.

 

[SleepinIn]

Andrew was pretty funny on Twitter the other day. Made me follow him anyway.. sometimes I am easy. I think I'm following like 500 people now. Slippery slope..

Nat Jay tweeted about working with Steven Bishop (this is who she's working with for a song for Kris)

Officalnatjay Last three days in LA...I'll be hanging w/ this dude and writing a song--check out Stephen Bishop: http://stephenbishop.com/ab...

Theo just tweeted about the twitterwall world Idol At the moment he's up there with Adam, Taylor Hicks Allison and Kris. He's actually ahead of Kris... eek. I still voted for both of them. Whatcha gonna do? (Adam's fans are seriously making up for not voting on the Idol finale, - they are voting for everything)

Worldwide - Vote For Your Ultimate World Idol Wall @ mallplace.com | Tweeter Wall @ mallplace.com
So throw a vote or two to Kris and Theo.

@Maxwellshouse New vid comin 2morrow...nuthin like chatting about dirty rest stop bathrooms with American Idol Kris Allen!! Hahaha

 

[ross 1]

I don't even have to look at that thing, I'm sure the Adam tards spend night and day pushing him to the front. Am I right?

 

[SleepinIn]

Ha, you are right

I generally don't really care about these twitterwall things but I like seeing Theo up there with Adam, Kris and Allison. And I think he's the only CI up there - so gotta help him out especially since he has like 500 followers to Adam's 130,000 - that means those 500 are even more dedicated.

 

[ross 1]

How many of his followers are named Tigger? lol

 

[SleepinIn]

Lol

 

[ross 1]

I'm feeling snarky tonight for some reason.
