Thanks for the video and the audio, SleepinIn. Matt Siegal is one of the better morning DJ's.

The video of Kris asking people to buy Let It Be: where was that supposed to be shown?

New old photos are always good, whenever they turn up. David's looking good. :)

The Let it Be video was posted by the UN Foundation so maybe on their website???

um, Lacey was the worst that night. :) But I liked her a lot on Idolatry and she was actually pretty good on Letterman.

"Miley Cyrus told Jay Leno last night on The Tonight Show that her favorite contestants were Siobhan Magnus and Casey James." says MJ.

What's the rumor? That he might perform on AI? Well, he's huge, and he's Usher's protege.

I notice Idol doesn't book a lot of bands. They had No Doubt last year, but it was really the Gwen Stefani show. They don't seem to do much with bands, though, do they?

How about John Mayer? Can we have some adults who don't do dance music or r&b?

I don't hate Justin, I actually do think he's talented .. but I am just sick of seeing him everywhere. I really hated the overshadowing of the Idol "kids" last year with all the big name acts who didn't mentor them.

I'd rather they just stick to the mentor performing - whoever it is. And adults would be good although I didn't think Miley was bad.

I'm watching Paige on the dream house. I blame Kris for this. It's even more boring without him.

I didn't find the dream house boring when Kris was on, but Paige...well, as you put it about Justin B., DNW.

I think the cross promotion is an interesting thing. But they would actually need to have someone people would want to actually see. LOL On both sides. There is a severe lack of questions for Paige. If you have a question for her, it's almost a given it will get asked.

Debra Byrd is going to be in the stupid house on Sunday.

I don't blame Idol for putting as many stars as possible on the show. Also, I like seeing them perform. I don't expect that I'm going to be a fan of everyone who's on the show. It's kind of like watching Ed Sullivan when I was a kid. It's not that you loved all the acts, but it was a glimpse into what's popular in show business at the moment, and there's nothing like live acts.

To me it's fascinating to see people perform live who I would probably never see performing otherwise. Last year I remember reading a lot of posts (on TWoP, probably) that said the results show should be half an hour and most (or all) of the guest singers should be eliminated. I never got that. It's free entertainment from some of the biggest stars in the world. Why is that bad? Even if some of them suck, it's fun. For me it is, anyway. But I was also surprised that if people love a show they'd want there to be much less of it. I wouldn't mind if it was 90 minutes. I mean, I clear my calendar for Idol and I'm not eager for it to end so I can watch something else, so I don't care.

Paige is also a Hanson fan.

I need a shorter show. :) 2 hours is just too much for me to take in all at once. I loved the CI results show model. Short, sweet and to the point.

Although I say I need a shorter show.. and yet I am watching the Dream house.

Krystal Bowersocks or whatever her name is seems to me to be the best
along with Big Mike and then Shabone but there is a long way to go.
Miley was ok but she doesn't have enough experience to be a mentor
at least not in my view.

That was just because they had no choice, I think. Not as much money. And not as many stars who wanted to appear on the show, maybe? Anyhow, AI is what it is, I don't mind free entertainment. Especially when I couldn't care less about the results, like this season.

Yeah, some others might break out and get better. It often happens. I can't see anyone topping Crystal but I guess it could happen. I like Casey as a singer, but as a performer he's like a lump.

Somebody posted a rumor on MJ's that Adam will be one of the acts added to the Kiss concert. That thing has about 10 acts or more and it's long. It's at the Comcast Center in Mansfield -- where my friends saw Blink 182, Fall Out Boy, etc., last summer. It's south of Boston, almost on the Cape (Cape Cod). It has an "indoor" section -- covered, with seats -- and an outdoor section -- some seats, and then a big lawn.

The rather nice thing, to my weird way of thinking, is that almost all the good seats to the concert are already sold out. (According to Kiss108.) So if Adam is added to the lineup in the future, the Glamberts can't invade and buy out the place. They can invade the lawn area, however.
