8/5: Puerto Rico to “Idol”- huh?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Typically, thousands show up to “Idol” auditions in cities stateside. But when “Idol” this week travelled to Puerto Rico, UPI reports that only 300 people showed up. (UPI is still around?)
Actually, UPI didn’t do any real reporting. It credited El Nuevo Dia.
Since “Idol” typically pares down 97% of first-round auditioners before they get to Paula, Randy and Simon, that would mean about 5 people and a very short audition day for the trio. But in reality, I’m sure this means the odds of seeing the three judges went up 20-fold for folks who bothered to show up. It’ll be like season one all over again.
Here’s video from the day, though it doesn’t indicate how few people were there. One person actually yodels to the cameras.
-“Nashville Star” concluded Monday night with our favorite Melissa Lawson beating Gabe Garcia, the runner up, and what’s her face, who came in third. (Sorry, her name has already beaten a quick retreat out of my brain.) I’m glad she won. I can’t imagine we’ll ever see her again but stranger things have happened and I hope she can put together a good record. And yes, Billy Ray Cyrus pulled “Achy Breaky Heart” out of the coffers for all to sing. Ah… the memories!
-Two “So You Think You Can Dance” dancers were sent to the hospital for dehydration. More details here though names were not released. People said it was Twitch and Joshua. Did someone forget to bring water to rehearsals?
-My hometown pub Newsday on Long Island gave a very reasoned, very fair review of the concert there.. He noted the relative lack of duets and trios that tended to litter past “Idol” concerts, sometimes to good effect, sometimes not so good.
But that was this year’s vibe — more about individual artistry and satisfying voting blocs than collaboration or fun. This may have been the most talented “Idol” Top 10 ever, but that didn’t make them more exciting.
-Here’s what my colleague Sonia Murray got from Jennifer Hudson Friday. This ran in today’s Peach Buzz:
Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson fondly recalled her history with the ATL backstage at Sugar Hill in Underground Atlanta over the weekend. “This is where I got my start,” she told us. “This is where my audition was for ‘American Idol,’ so I feel like this is where my star, I guess, was first conceived.” Hudson was likewise warmly received by a capacity crowd during her 40-minute set. Included (believe it or not): Mac Davis’ “I Believe in Music”; “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” and her current Ne-Yo-penned single, “Spotlight.”
“This is the moment I’ve been waiting on,” she told the crowd of V-103 listeners. “When y’all sing my song back to me!”
-“Idol” won best reality music program on the Teen Choice Awards aired Monday night. David Cook won best male reality star. Jordin Sparks with Chris Brown won “choice hook up” in music with “No Air.” Carrie Underwood won choice red carpet fashion icon female. David Archuleta won choice most fanatic fans.
Rickey.org had this video from the show with David Archuleta, David Cook and Jordin Sparks:

300 in Puerto Rico? Did they advertise that they would be there. I know Puerto Rico is a small island but…300???

I was really hoping for something more from Puerto Rico, 300 doesn’t allow for enough oddballs. That’s too bad.
Have I missed turnout numbers from other cities?

Really am surprised that only 300 showed up in PR. I guess the judges weren’t to upset over that. I wonder how many were put through.
I hate to say this, but nuff about JH. She was here, now she’s gone.
BRC did pull Achy Breaky back to the present last night. I wasn’t to impressed with it.

What ELSE has BRC ever done that was even close to a hit? L-O-L ! ! !
But I’m so happy for Melissa I could … could …. could … scream!!!! She deserves it, and I hope hope hope that the JR connection NOW pays off, because he DOES have a way of getting folks out there on the market. Lord knows i wouldn’t want to be around him for much OTHER reason!!! my opinion, my feelings, lest anyone think i’m dissing the Rich man.
Surprised only 300 showed up in PR myself, even if it were only folks taking advantage from stateside and getting a little mini-vacation in to boot. oh well, maybe they had someone REEEEEEEEALLY good show up, eh?

I’m about done with the Jennifer Hudson issue too. However, I’m interested in seeing her sales figures. That is where silence on the issue may hurt her, when it should be about the music silence is allowing this other issue to fester.

This is for linny…something to help you cool off after Mr. I’m Better Than You spoke his peace. I found this on TMZ:
Our “Dancing with the Stars” spies tell us Toni Braxton will put on her dancing shoes for the show this season. Toni, who quit her Vegas gig due to heart complications, continues the “DWTS” tradition of dancers with some form of challenge: Heather Mills (leg), Marlee Matlin (deaf) and Tucker Carlson (rhythm).

D, I wasn’t telling Rodney to move on, as I know that he reports very well and I would Never tell him something like that. I have to much respect for him as a reporter to do that. I was just saying that I thought we (I) was all talked out about her from yesterday. No, I have never gotten bored on here, so don’t think that, okay? And, I know you are only kidding me, but if you weren’t, that’s okay.
I have to tell y’ll just how stupid I am. I had gotten some letters typed and was going to stamp the envelopes, so I carried them to the mail/copy room to do just that. I kept running them through the machine and no stamp would ever appear, and then lo and behold, it dawned on me that I was running them through the copier and not the stamp machine. Now, how dumb was that? I’m just glad no one saw me. I felt like a total jerk. Someone please tell me you have done something similar so I won’t feel so stupid!!!!!! Not saying anyone is stupid, so no bashing.
I too, am glad that Melissa won NS. She deserved to win.

Hey all. Melissa was a good pick for NS although I would have been happy with Gabe as well. Melissa’s single has already hit radio and it sound’s great.
A interesting piece I read about the audience of the show. The tickets were free however, if you wanted a seat towards the front, you had to send a picture to make sure you were “pretty” enough to be down front for the camaras.

Lo, LT, over the past five years, there have been some unattractive people sitting up front. ABout three years back, my granddaughter and I were watching NS and the camera made a wide scan and both us nearly fell off the sofa with laughter. The person that was shown would have made Frankenstein look good!!! Words can not began to describe what he looked like. I actually thought it may have been a mask, but even an mask can’t look that bad.
linny thanks for saying I’m niot stupid, but sure do feel like it.

Nana, I know just how you feel. A couple of years ago I was at my desk at work analyzing premiums. Now I am mathematically challenged on a GOOD day, but as I began adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing… well, I punched in my #s and began looking for the “+” key on the calculator. I COULDN’T FIND THE “+” KEY!!! I was beginning to get really frustrated when my phone rang. That was when I realized I was trying to add on the telephone keypad! I went home for the rest of the day.

I dont know where anybody got there were only 300 people were there, there were over 1000 people in line. We were there on vacation with our family, and had a great time. So dont print something you dont really know, and by the way that yodeling lady that the press is talking about was fabulous, and beautiful at that. Just listen to all the people that clapped for her in the back ground and you’ll hear it.

Hi y’all…wow, I’ve missed out on a lot. My only comment on the JHud “scandal:” She seemed very comfortable in her own skin during the Idol days. Shame she’s chosen to go back on that. Not everyone’s a size 2. But either love yourself just the was you are or do something about it. Anyway…
Only 300 auditioned in PR. I’m not surprised. I’ve heard they have their own version of AI in Spanish. I believe it’s called Objetivo Fama. Also, how well have the past Idols done down there? I can see Kelly, Daughtry doing well…Carrie, perhaps. Definitely nothing like what she’s done here. IMO.
I didn’t follow NS well enought to have a strong opinion, but all I can say is: that was the best they could find? I mean, Melissa seemed likeable enough, but come on…I’ve seen better barhopping on some Nashville karaoke bars. Nevermind I might’ve had a drink or two! ;)

Sassy — there may have been 1000 people in line, but how many were actually auditioning and how many were there in “support of” the auditioners? or just to get on camera, period? just a thought — and Rodney only reported what UPI reported, and gave UPI full credit … so hey! no dissin’ on Rodney!!! ~¿@ (all in fun, not being ugly here JUST in case someone can’t figure me out yet)

The 1000 people in line with only 300 of those auditioning is also discussed on the official AI forums (but I do not see where it is an official number).
And it’s still yodeling.
By Nana

You can’t make a career on just yodeling. You have to put some other talent with it, such as singing, ya think? Come on get real. I have heard yodelers who mixes it with their singing and they are great, Eddie Arnold was fantastic at it as well as Hank Williams, Sr. BUT they incorporated it into the singing their talent. Need I say more?

Hi my name is Jessika, I’m 19. I’m the girl yodeling in that video. I can actually sing very well, and not just yodel. You dont get to hear the whole thing they edited it so all you hear is the yodeling, I sang Cowboy’s sweetheart by Leann Rimes. If you are interested or just dont belive me check out my myspace at www.myspace.com/jessikaleighbaier
There were SOOO many talented people in San Juan, it was a shame so great talents got turned away. WAY TO BRING IT PUERTO RICO!!
I find it so cool you guys are talking about this so..you guys keep on writing and I’ll keep on reading! AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DOES LOVE TO HEAR YODELING!!!

I have a theory as to why only 300 showed up in Puerto Rico, it was too hot there to go audition. JT, we would invite you to come visit us here in Georgia, I don’t think you would want to come here March thru October seeing that the temperature could be over 68 degrees most of the year.
Nana, I do stupid stuff fairly often, like putting the coffee in the dishwasher or trying to freeze food in the microwave,cook the food in the freezer. I don’t feel stupid because no one is around to see me being stupid. Thank Goodness!
When I do stupid stuff it is usually because it is too dang hot!

Jessika, thanks for stopping by. I’m glad to hear that you don’t just yodel. Idol has had some of those types in the past, people who can do one thing real good, but that one thing isn’t singing. So they are shown on an audition episode more for humor.
Hopefully, come January, the editors show us a bit more.

Jessika…yodeling is an ‘art form’ that is not too popular. But, if you remember…you may be too young to remember…you’re not the first yodeler on AI. Carmen Rasmussen from Season 2 also yodeled during her audition. She did NOT use the yodeling in the competition but made it into the top 10 that year.

One Sunday morning the Preacher decided to change his sermon. He told the congregation that when he gave them a word, he wanted them to sign a hymn that corresponded with that word. He gave them the word “Love” and the congregation started singing “Love Lifted Me”. The next word was “Cross”, so they sung “The Old Rugged Cross”, the next was “Blood”, so they sung “Power in the Blood”. His next word was “Sex”. Well the congreagtion didn’t know how to respond to this word. A few seconds later from the back of the church this 85 year old lady stood up and in a clear voice started singing “Precious Memories.”

This is for anyone who lives in Atlanta, Georgia, has ever lived in Atlanta,has ever visited Atlanta, ever plans to visit Atlanta, knows anyone who already lives in Atlanta, or knows anyone who has ever heard of Atlanta.
Atlanta is composed mostly of one-way streets. The only way to get out of downtown Atlanta is to turn around and start over when you reach Greenville, South Carolina.
All directions start with, “Go down Peachtree” and include the phrase, When you see the Waffle House.” Except that in Cobb County, where all directions begin with, “Go to the Big Chicken.”
Peachtree Street has no beginning and no end and is not to be confused with: Peachtree Circle Peachtree Place Peachtree Lane Peachtree Road Peachtree Parkway Peachtree Run Peachtree Terrace Peachtree Avenue Peachtree Commons Peachtree Battle Peachtree Corners New Peachtree Old Peachtree West Peachtree Peachtree-Dunwoody Peachtree-Chamblee Peachtree Industrial Boulevard
Atlantans only know their way to work and their way home. If you ask anyone for directions, they will always send you down Peachtree.
Atlanta is the home of Coca-Cola. Coke’s all they drink there, so don’t ask for any other soft drink unless it’s made by Coca-Cola.
The gates at Atlanta’s Hartsfield International Airport are about 32 miles away from the Main Concourse, so wear sneakers and pack a lunch.
The 8am rush hour is from 6:30 to 10:30 AM. The 5pm rush hour is from 3:00 to 7:30 PM. Friday’s rush hour starts Thursday afternoon and lasts through 2am Saturday.
Only a native can pronounce Ponce De Leon Avenue, so do not attempt the Spanish pronunciation. People will simply tilt their heads to the right and stare at you. The Atlanta pronunciation is “pawntz duh LEE-awn.”
And yes, they have a street named simply, “Boulevard.”
The falling of one raindrop causes all drivers to immediately forget all traffic rules. If a single snowflake falls, the city is paralyzed for three days and it’s on all the channels as a news flash every 15 minutes for a week. Overnight, all grocery stores will be sold out of milk, bread, bottled water, toilet paper, and beer.
I-285, the loop that encircles Atlanta, which has a posted speed limit of 55 mph (but you have to maintain 80 mph just to keep from getting run over), is known to truckers as “The Watermelon 500.”
Don’t believe the directional markers on highways. I-285 is marked “East” and “West” but you may be going North or South. The locals identify the direction by referring to the “Inner Loop” and the “Outer Loop.” If you travel on Hwy 92 North, you will actually be going southeast.
Never buy a ladder or mattress in Atlanta. Just go to one of the interstates and you will soon find one in the middle of the road.
The last thing you want to do is give another driver the finger, unless your car is armored, your trigger finger is itchy and your AK-47 has a full clip.
Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air.
There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in Georgia.
There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in Georgia, plus a couple no one has seen before.
If it grows, it sticks. If it crawls, it bites. If you notice a vine trying to wrap itself around your leg, you have about 20 seconds to escape, before you are completely captured and covered with Kudzu, another ill-advised “import,” like the carp, starling, English sparrow, and other “exotic wonders.”
It’s not a shopping cart, it’s a buggy. “Fixinto” is one word (I’m fixinto go to the store).
Sweet Tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you’re 2 years old.
“Jeet?” is actually a phrase meaning “Did you eat?”

LOL!!! Dawn, you have Atlanta nailed down to a pat. That was sooooo good, especially all the P’trees. Least we not forget what Jeff Foxworthy would say, “You may be a redneck if……”.
To be born and raise here and still live here is amazing. You just become a little ole southern belle with that old southern charm.
linny: Out of your places listed, it would be hard to decide where I would want to be. Think I will stay right here.
D: Hope your Mom makes a decision soon and that you both will be happy about it. Good Luck!!

August 6, 2008 3:14 PM | Link to this
Ay-yep, Nana, shore is!
If they do it like last year, each of the 4 will dance a number with EACH of the others. So we’ll see: Katee-Kourtnay, Katee-Joshua, Katee-Twitch, Kourtnay-Joshua, Kourtnay-Twitch, and Joshua-Twitch (6 different combinations). I presume they also do solos again, but not sure.
Then tomorrow night we’ll have 1 quick elimination, some entertainment, another elimination, some entertainment, then the big announcement of “America’s Fave-o-rite Dancer” as Cat Deeley says, LOL.
Did anyone else watch AGT last night? I was surprised they DIDN’T put through the little breaker and the contortionist, but DID put thru the little singers. interesting.
that opera singer that sings both Bass AND Soprano. OMG. that was just weird! YOu know AGT is on again Thursday night with the elimination to 40 to go to the “semi” finals (broadcast shows for votes, i believe that means) that will probably be up against SYTYCD at some point in time; i haven’t checked the exact timing.

Is it hot or is it just me? Even going from air conditioned car to air conditioned building is a killer today.
With hubby home I haven’t been able to see AGT last night or SYTYCD tonight. I’ll have to tape it.
