Another viral video? I didn't know he ever had any. Is this something he choreographed, or what?

No he just taped it. But it's already got like 400,000 hits and he posted it on the 7th. He had another video where one of his friends jumped off a cliff and hit his head or something that had over 2 million views. Daniel excells at random videos.

Even if they did throw fruit, SleepinIn, I'm sure you'd find a way to put a positive spin on it.

HA! Free Fruit salad?!? (sorry I can't help it. I'm just so damn positive.. I'll try to up the mean quotient.. grr!) and EXACTLY! Blah-de-blah-de-blah. I'm sure Kris didn't waste too much sleep on it while he was dancing and singing to Paul.

Those are really nice photos from the concert. That guy did good.

New David song could be good. David will have a totally different tone anyway - so the song will change. I have to say though that I hate the way they leak these songs demo versions I really do. (grr!:angry4: )

Keith is awesome. He just is.

Any idea who the big surprise guest is on the Mixfest? Switchfoot (Kris will be excited -- not a surprise), the missing ex-Barenaked Ladies member Steven Page -- not a surprise (Kris is just not getting away from these guys -- he can hear the other half of the harmonies - lol), Goo Goo Dolls -- not a surprise.

and that totally wasn't Kris tweeting. Totally.

Jake got dressed for this one.

Free Fruit Salad? BWAH!

Keith Urban almost makes me want to listen to his music. Almost.

Well, considering you can actually buy Hodges's song on iTunes, I'd even put it past the point of "demo". Gah. Anyway, not a big fan of the song itself, it's the kind of boring generic pop-rock song I try to avoid. The lyrics are uninspired as well. And if Cook didn't change the song and isn't added as a co-writer, it goes against my wish that he'd have a hand in writing all the songs on DCTR2.

I didn't know there was supposed to be a big surprise guest.

Sorry, don't know what you mean by that.^

------------------

All right. I went onto twitter and now I know what you mean by that. You make me work a lot, you know that? ;)

Um, I don't know who the surprise guests are. But I see one act has been added, The Spill Canvas.

I also see this.

Kris Allen vs. Adam Lambert



It’s our Mix Weekend Poll! It’s now been a year since MIXFest 2010 artist Kris Allen edged out Adam Lambert in the vote on American Idol. Both have had hit singles on Mix. Both are doing well on tour. But which artist do you think will have long-term success?

And here you find the results:

Ugh! That's worse than I thought. Why do they do this to them?

And here you find the results:

That poll is seriously skewed. Kris was winning it until the Glamberts found it, then there were a bazillion votes cast for Adam. I've got a life to lead I can't be voting 100's of times a day. Sorry Kris, you're just going to have to succeed without the poll win.

BTW I hate those polls too. :roll:

177 people said "They both will do well".
5 people voted for Adam.
1 person voted for Kris.
2 people voted that time is running out for both of them.
(Total votes: 185)

So tell me. How is it that Adam got 77.78% of the vote, and "They both will do well" got only 2.5% of the vote?

Then on the bottom, it says, "Total votes: 7070."

Explain that math to me.

And I'm sick (sick! Do you hear?) of reading that that Kris "edged out" Adam, which I read all the time. Definition of "edge out.": "To surpass or defeat by a small margin." Who knows that? No one.

(I copied and pasted this brilliance just in case you missed it earlier.)

That poll is seriously skewed. Kris was winning it until the Glamberts found it, then there were a bazillion votes cast for Adam

Really? That figures.

Doesn't it seem as if Kris is often in the lead, strangely enough, before the Glamberts take over? I often wonder how "real people" (not crazy fans) would respond to these kinds of polls. Unfortunately there's no way to know as long as the Glamberts are around.

Heh! That poll is wonky! (I actually made sense of the math. Adam got 5,500 "legitimate" votes and Kris, 1,400. Not sure why it's only written "5" and "1"). 2,5% of 7,070 really equals 177 votes.

Ugh! That's worse than I thought. Why do they do this to them?

The more I listen to the song, the more I hate it. Ugh!

(SleepinIn I sent you a "squee" DM on twitter related to our favorites Newfies, did you get it?)

Thanks, missadicted. I thought you would be the one to be able to figure that out.
I can't believe over 7000 people would vote in such a poll. It indeed seems to have gone down like SleepinIn said.

Free fruit salad for all. :)

I did.. I squeeed back atcha!

I think it's funny how many reviewers review these concerts like they're reviewing U2 or something. Give them a break -- they're new at this.

Kris Allen and I at the video shoot for THE TRUTH. Great dude! Great singer! Great time! Thanks for including me! Pat | TweetPhoto

I'm looking at what's behind Pat and Kris, and it looks like they're in the desert. What do you guys think?

That's another thing. Yeah. I agree!

I also think a lot of Idol reviewers are wouldn't know a good singer or an authentic singer from a hole in the wall. Ugh. Crystal. What's with the Janice stuff? Come on, put on some spikes like Siobhan. Be more fun.

I think Kris is off tommorrow, but they have a show the next day, and I think Pat might have a show tommorrow. Rain throws a real wrench in the works since it's not just the schedules of Kris and Pat but the crew too.

I'd like to see Lily and Kris work together I think.

That would be nice. I doubt it's gonna happen, since she didn't make it far enough on Idol!! The cardinal sin.

ETA: Great seats Lily ! :wink: (still awesome though)

Haha. That's funny. I didn't even think of that. Her seats suck. Poor Lilly. I'll bet Kris's seats didn't suck. #itsnicetobetheIdol

Anyway, she's having a blast.

Oh, and KAB (aka, Saccharine Abomination And His Four Clones) look good in those photos. I think Torres might be gaining some weight.
