Number of spins! Hey, that is impressive! Can this actually be happening? I mean, seriously. We've waited so long.

(Somebody on ontd_ai last night said, about waiting for the CD, "Why can't I fast-forward life?" lol)

Because you have to use 86 400 seconds in a day.

LOL! I always wondered how many seconds there are in a day (okay, not really, Kris).

Oh, Ross. lol *shakes head*

Okay, I'll stop. Did that picture come out, here? It didn't come out in my end so I cut it.

I liked that video, seriously. An 'official Idol" video would probably never be that laid back and cute. Unfortunately. (I'd like Kris to do something young and romantic sometime -- yeah, he's married but so is Jacob, and he does videos with cute girls. It's just acting, anyway.)

I like LA and I've read a lot of guidebooks about it and all, but strangely I've never been there! Have you? Anyhow, that video was shot partly in Echo Park:

Yeah, I like Jason's video too. It's pretty awesome. I really love that song too. Plus Serena Ryder is singing on that Album with him - I'm a big fan of hers. I saw her live and she's amazing.

How sweet would a Jason Castro Kris Allen tour be? For me pretty darn sweet gotta say. (probably not going to happen since Jason is with Atlantic.. but still)

Oh, and nope I've never been farther west than Cleveland.

They could call it the "F___ You, Simon Cowell, Tour."

I don't know. I don't really like Jason much. That video was about the first time I ever liked him!

I've only been to Cali a few times but I sort of fell in love with it. Just never have been to SoCal. My aunt lives kind of near Ontario, where the tour stop was. I keep meaning to visit her.

LOL, I'd love that actually. I loved Jason last year, on the show right up until he let Simon psyche him out. Then I knew he wasn't going any farther. It's really funny how you can tell who wants to stay and who's ready to go home.

It's beautiful, and warm isn't it? damn.

Well, I've been to northern California, and it's been warm, but I got lucky. San Francisco usually has summer weather in the fall, for some reason.

I didn't watch much, last year. I saw him the night he sang "Memory." I thought he was really good. But they didn't like it.

But with Jason, I don't get the sincere thing I get from Kris. They seem to be from different planets, to me. I'm not sure how a joint tour would work out. Like, missaddicted hates Jason. She likes Kris. I think a lot of people might be like that. Or vice-versa. BTW, where is missaddicted? Is this the night she was going to that concert?

Tell me more about Serena Ryder.

How do you do that?

Is the song picking up, on iTunes, at all?

To change the artwork on itunes, (and I'm not looking at the chart.. nope, not gonna do it. I'll look tomorrow, tonight is about the good news of the adds.. okay maybe I'll look later.. lol)

Click on the song you want to edit. Then right click and choose, get info from the list. Then click the artwork tab, and it has an option to add artwork. Pick your .jpg and voila! Kris with a guitar! (or you know any other picture you like).

Jason is even more laid back than Kris come to think of it. That would be one mellow vibe. Okay, maybe not a tour.. but a show would be good.

My favourite Jason song was probably

Hallelujah

and Ioved his version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow (but then I liked Kris's more when I heard it)

For the go home vibe, definitely Jason and Brooke. When they were done it showed. I was actually worried Kris would have the same thing happen - but he didn't he was in it to win it to the end.

Serena Ryder (theo did a version of her song Weak in the Knees on Idol)

I meant to say: no Boston stations on that add list? Okay, you said CBS stations have long waits for adds. But there are other big stations here. The Top 40 station is Kiss108.

The Boston area has about 50 colleges and universities, and more in the surrounding area. And a lot of prep schools. Perfect market. Why no adds?? And all those kids from all over the country and the world probably take the music they like back home with them, and spread the word.

It needs to be on the radio, here. This is a huge market no matter what.

Request the song, they may add it next week, or the week after that. It still hasn't been added here either. I'm going to keep requesting it, I figure I couldn't do it for NB (couldn't - die, song, die!) so I'll do it for LLWD since I love the song.

CHUM is the perfect station for it and usually they are pretty quick to add Idol songs, but they never added NB. I'm hopeful that they will now though since it's had a great week in adds this week. Now if all those stations play it - it will be great.
