Crazy schedule ahead for Kris. Shows in the Philippines on Feb 5 and 6 (right?), show in Singapour (Singapour!) on Feb 10, Kradison show in NY on Feb 12 (hell of a jet lag right there) and show in Florida on Feb 13? Get some sleep before February arrives, Kris!!

Strings are acoustic, though.

I know. But since I pointed out the other instruments, I wanted to be accurate and name them all.

Did you get a ticket for Jason Castro's show? MJ tweeted that it sold out before she could get one herself ans was asking if someone had an extra one.

ETA: MJ now tweeted that she got herself a ticket.

Oh no, Kris and Katy love crime procedural shows! Katy's been tweeting about that. Gah, they're like the worst thing on TV for me. Though Grey's Anatomy might be worst. Heh. I guess I'll forgive them if Kris continues to make good music!

Slow news night, lol. And nobody here. Makes me post stupid stuff!

Oh, the "supposed" complete top 24 is out. I think the only one they're still doubting is Ben Honeycutt, which is ironic since he's got quite the fanbase already... on IDF at least. And yes, I did venture in IDF, which I won't do too often. Thanks goodness for TWoP. I hope Ben is in, but we'll see.

Anyway, MJ has them all in her spoilers thread and also pictures of each of them.

No, I forgot about Jason. His show isn't until the 28th and since it's a small club on a campus, I didn't think they were selling tickets. I thought it was more like a cover charge at the door. Guess not.

Matt Hires is the headliner, the tickets are 10 dollars.

I know. But since I pointed out the other instruments, I wanted to be accurate and name them all.

I wasn't trying to tell you strings are acoustic, I know you know that. I was just mentioning it, I guess.

I looked up the Zirca nightclub in Singapore. It looks wild. It's a "mega-club" that can accommodate 2000 people.

Holy Moley! That will be an interesting experience for them.. actually the whole Asian adventure sounds cool.

Did I ever mention how much I love Michael Slezak? He's kind of having a twitter party right now, before Idolatry goes live (will watch that tomorrow, too tired now) and he said this:

Who is this Randy Jackson person? RT @Dara989512 How did U feel when Randy Jackson bashed Kris and Adam on MTV talking to Jim Cattalino?

He also dissed Randy right after and also in a major way in his recap of last night's episode. LOL at the Jim Cattalino.

ETA:

I do not understand the question, and I won't respond to it. @NativeGirl67 Is Randy Jackson's "opinion" about Kris & Adam even valid?!

LOL!

Oh! I forgot to read his recap! Have to do that tommorrow. I think I'd like Randy getting dissed for that. :)

Well, to be fair, he dissed Randy in his recap for forgetting Blake Lewis's name, which was also definitely ridiculous. Come on, Randy, he was the runner up three years ago!

I'd diss Randy for having a twitter assistant. I mean how hard is it to type 140 characters?

LOL. For Randy, my guess is that it's pretty hard. I wouldn't want to read "for me for you, a little pitchy dawg" or "two bazillion thoudand percent yes" over and over again... not that I have any intention to follow either him or his assistant on twitter.

There must be a reason why AI has such crappy judges, but I don't know what it is.

I guess I still don't see why Kris deosn't represent, to Randy, somebody who knows who he is, musically, and who put out a CD that reflects that. Adam , yes, he's been all over the map, stylistically, and his album seems to reflect that. But, still, they praised him to the skies for what he did on Idol, and now Randy thinks he should have stuck to one narrow style. I don't recall him having a problem with that on the show.

Besides, there's professional courtesy. Kris and Adam aren't contestants on AI any more, they're professional musicians, and Randy isn't their judge. Generally, professionals don't publicly diss each other's work. I know Simon does it, but he's in a rudeness class all his own - and also, he's not a musician.

Needless to say, some praise from Randy would have helped sell both guys' albums, and he could have been a decent sort and done that. But even without that, he could have left off the criticism.

They think they're more entertaining than the singers. They're not. I can barely get through the auditions.

I have a lot of responses.. none of which I can say intelligently. So I'll leave it at GRRRRR!....ARGH!!!! :violent1:

Kris is going to be hosting the iTunes countdown on the radio (is that right?) -- I didn't even know that existed.

Never, ever heard of it. But can't wait for it. :)

The worst part about the Randy thing is all the online sites with headlines saying, Randy Jackson has advice for Adam Lambert, Randy Jackson criticizes Adam Lambert, etc. So Adam is the one who gets all the publicity, as usual. :banghead:

I can barely get through the auditions.

So far, it's been pretty painful. I know that the new season has started, but I keep forgetting. I'm not that interested yet.

This is a picture from disco night, I think. She Works Hard For The Money. My question is ... what is the second guy from the left playing?
