Jason Castro released his own version of White Christmas and I am not sure what is worst the album cover or the cover of the song. Obviously I am not the only one who thinks the song is worth nothing because Amazon is letting people download it for free and even that is too much for the song. Billy Idol's version of White Christmas was more trippier than the American Idol loser's version.

David Cook is proving that he so deserved to win American Idol, because he truly is an Idol!!! According to Star Magazine his biggest fan 7 year old Lindsey Rose was diagnosed with leukemia last Christmas, and she started a friendship with him when he was vying for the title. In fact the orange bracelet he was wearing was for her. After the finale he contacted her and said when he was Tampa he would visit her.
That day arrived on Aug. 21, and squeals of delight mingled with tears of joy as big-hearted David, 25, kept his promise to Lindsey Rose, treating her like a little princess during a special day together. "From the moment we arrived, David grabbed Lindsey by the hand and the two were inseparable," her father Charley Belcher, a feature reporter for Fox WTVT Channel 13 in Tampa, tells Star. "They are friends forever."
Wow, what an amazing guy. I knew he deserved to wiin, but he is proving to the doubters why he won American Idol 7!!!

A week after announcing that David Cook's CD is coming out this fall, RCA Records put the American Idol's CD up for pre-order on Amazon even though there is no release date. At first glance it sounds like a bad idea, but considering the album is already #2 on the Amazon charts…maybe it wasn't!!! I am so pre-ordering this because I can't wait to hear how it turns out!

RCA Records announced today that they signed American Idol David Cook. They added that Cook’s debut label released album will be out this fall after he finishes the American Idol tour!
So how popular is Season 7’s American Idol since being crowned just a week ago?
“The Time Of My Life” has sold 236,024 digital tracks in 4 days, making it the best single debut of an American Idol since season two. Additionally, Cook currently has 17 tracks on the Top 100 Digital Songs Chart, the most ever by any artist.
“The Time Of My Life” is blowing up at radio, coming in as the #1 most added at Hot AC and AC radio right out of the box and #2 most added at Top 40 radio, pulling in over 6 million listeners in less than a week without an official launch. Additionally, it was the biggest single premiere on AOL’s PopEater site this year, garnering over 1 million streams in 24 hours.
“I am extremely happy to be signed by 19 Recordings / RCA Records. Signing this deal is truly a dream come true. I am looking forward to the recording process and creating a record. The support I have received from America has been overwhelming and I can’t wait to hopefully do right by them,” says David Cook.
Way to go David Cook! I never doubted he was going to do well!!!

Way to go to David Cook! The right David won!!! I will be buying that album day one it comes out!!!
Here the two performances for which I am so glad he won… Hello and Billie Jean!!!

I hope that David Cook is the winner just because he so deserves it! But part of me wonders if he threw the competition away last night because let’s be real it is almost better to be the American Idol loser than winner. Either way he will be the winner in my book! I am dying to hear what his album will sound like because if it is done right, it will be mind blowing.
BTW I loved Dream Big…screw the Judges and their thoughts on it. To me it was very Rick Springfield circa Hard to Hold days and I can’t stop replaying it. What the heck was that song that David Archuletta mumbled through?

I feel robbed, according to Reality TV World the Davids will be singing 3 songs tonight and not one will be the cheesey finale song that they will be stuck with throughout their careers. The song we say we hate, but secretly love. Instead here is a breakdown of the 3 songs being performed tonight.
"Clive Davis has actually chosen them a song. He's the man with the golden ears. He's chosen a couple of songs for them to sing. I won't spoil the surprise of what he's chosen for them," said Lythgoe.
"[Archuleta and Cook have] actually chosen a song each from the Top 10 songs that have been voted for [online] and then they're doing another song that they've either sung during the series or something that they want to sing. I can tell you now that David Archuleta is going to sing 'Imagine' again, which is fantastic."
I thought once Clive Davis was demoted that Idol would be done with him, but no he is back instead of that finale song. And what is up with them getting one song we choose from the season and one they picked from the season. Lame.
The producers are wondering why we are tuning out, well doing stuff like this isn't helping! I want my cheesey American Idol finale song because so far tonight sounds like the most boring American Idol finale yet. Worst than Taylor Hicks and Katharine McPhee.

Paula Abdul joined Paris Hilton and Benji Madden, the Kardashian sisters, Chris Tucker, Tom Arnold and Larry King at the Sober Day USA 2008 party! At the event all were treated to Hint Water instead of alcohol and actually made it through the party sober. Who knew some of them could remain sober for a whole party on a Saturday night???

David Archuleta's long-rumored stage dad has finally banned from everything but sitting in the audience at American Idol according to TMZ.
Here's how it went down. "Idol" sources tell TMZ Jeff has been a complete pain in the ass, interfering with the entire production. He has badgered producers, the band, vocal coaches and even other contestants. The final straw came this week, when Jeff wanted to change the lyrics to David's first song, "Stand By Me." Jeff insisted on adding a verse from Sean Kingston's hit, "Beautiful Girls." Producers sent him an e-mail telling him the lyrics could not be changed. They were beyond pissed when David sang the song with Kingston's lyrics during the live show.
The day after his dad made him change the lyrics, he was brought in to the AI lawyer's office where they told him he was no longer allowed to be with his son during rehearsals or backstage. I wonder how this will affect David's performances and if this cost him the win. I mean why would the label want to deal with him now that they know his dad will make their life hecks and considering how well the last two Idols sold, is it worth it to them to have a stage dad harassing them throughout the whole process?

It is no secret that David Cook's brother Adam has brain cancer and Adam has only been out to see his little brother once since the show started. He has only been out once because it is expensive for him to get out her because of his medical needs. The first time he was out here, Terre Haute, Indiana rallied together to make his trip possible. Now David Cook's fans are asking us to all rally together and help to raise the $80,000 needed to get Adam Cook to see his little brother in the finale in two weeks because you know David is going to be there! So please check out Help Bring Adam Back for more information to make it possible. Hopefully the money will be raised and Adam's health will permit him to be there to watch David Cook win American Idol!!!
xoxo Carolyn
UPDATE: Someone asked why the $80,000 request, well it costs $78,000 to Medivac from Indiana to Los Angeles for his medical needs and the rest is for his hotel stay while he in in LA.

Leave it to Brooke White to leave American Idol and forget the lyrics on the swan song. Finally she is gone!
BTW she should go on Fox’s Don’t Forget the Lyrics because at least there they have the lyrics on a teleprompter for her, and I bet even then she would still forget the lyrics.

Thank gosh for Paula Abdul because without her American Idol would be boring. Last night’s American Idol might have crammed 10 Neil Diamond songs into one hour, but it was so boring I forgot who sang what and I don’t care what they did.
But back to Paula that was evil of American Idol to put so much pressure on her, they know she can’t handle it! But thankfully they did because her craziness is always blogworthy!!! Unlike Jason Castro and Brooke White’s performances. Hopefully Brooke will go home tonight because I still think it is BS she is still on after forgetting the lyrics last week.
BTW maybe because I actually hit puberty, can someone please explain what is so amazing about David Archuleta? I thought his America was emotionless.
Oh yeah I am a sincerely a Neil Diamond fan and there is not one song I remotely liked last night.

Who is voting for Brooke White? She should have been eliminated for forgetting the words as soon as she did so, but I guess her fans disagree. And there seems to be a lot more of them than there is me.
BTW next week they are doing the songs of Neil Diamond. I am curious to see how that goes down on next week's American Idol. I would be shocked if Jason Castro didn't do UB40's version of Red Red Wine. And you know David Archuleta's stage dad is loving the theme, he has so much to choose from for his little money maker! I am also curious to see what David Cook makes haunting because he should own the night once again!!!
Don't vote Brooke White!!!

Sacreligious. I cannot remember any other time that a contestant has stopped American Idol and asked for a do over because they forgot the lyrics. People are eliminated in the Hollywood and she made it to the top 6! I say You must hate her! Her chances on American Idol show be the same as Eva Peron’s fate at the end of the play. Disgraceful.
Now when it comes to the rest…
How the freak did Jason Castro gets Memories? I wish I could forget that performance, but it went on so long it is etched into my memory.
David Archuleta so messed up, he had the golden opportunity to make a niche for himself as the next Michael Crawford and he went with a female’s song.
Syeshia surprised me because she was enjoyable and so was Carly Smithson. If Carly didn’t have that tattoo sleeve she could have a career on Broadway.
And my boy David Cook was good, but I not sure he was the Music of the Night.
So who should go home? Brooke White. In fact I say do away with the bottom 3 and just eliminate her. Let her be put on the Idol stake for that!
BTW SirAndrew LLoyd Webber was a great and honest mentor!

Once again David Cook blew me away this time singing Mariah Carey’s Always Be My Baby! He just knows how to make a song his own even it is cover of a cover! He is the first contestant to really change it up on American Idol and not sacrifice who is he and make it interesting and not boring like Bo Bice.
As you know besides being an amazing performance it was an emotional one. His brother who is battling brain cancer flew out to see his little brother sing on the Idol stage. Crap I cried along with David Cook on that one. It is so good that brother came out and David did not disappoint and the Judges let him how much they love his brother! Way to go David Cook!
Back to Mariah’s Always Be My Baby, I love the original (yes I am a Mariah fan) and I love David Cook’s and I hate remakes.
BTW am I the only that thinks with his new haircut he looks a lot like Barry Watson? And that is a very good thing!!!

David Cook’s brother who had a relapse with brain cancer is traveling from Indiana to see his brother perform on American Idol. The trip almost didn’t happen according to the Tribune Star.
Adam Cook, 36, is undergoing chemotherapy for his second diagnosis of brain cancer, which has spread to his spine. A plan to travel to California to see his brother perform was grounded earlier in the week when Adam’s doctors told him he could not fly commercially in his condition.
But Adam Cook, a lawyer who practiced in Terre Haute until his condition worsened, has many friends, and as news of his plight spread, friends rallied to find a way to get him to California.
The result: an all-expenses-paid flight on a chartered medical jet, in the company of a flight medic and flight nurse, as well as a paid stay in a hotel just across the street from the Los Angeles studio where David Cook and the other “Idol” finalists will perform.
Darrick Scott, a Vigo County councilman (District 2), Terre Haute’s assistant fire chief and a friend of the Cooks and his friend James Mimms, who is a flight medic at Terre Haute International Airport, talked to his supervisor and they all talked to Board of Directors at Clarian Health about Adam’s situation and they decided to foot the bill for a medic, the nurse and the aircraft – an estimated $78,000 to get him to LA. Crossroads Communication’s Julie Henricks, a friend of Scott’s, said the B102.7 radio station is paying for the hotel stay for the Adam Cook and his wife and two kids. The General Manager Doug Edge said he would do whatever he could to help them out.
Adam and his family arrived in LA yesterday and will be there until Thursday. Hopefully they are having an amazing time and will not be taking David home with them on Thursday.
BTW what an amazing story! It is nice to know that are still good people out there who are willing to help their neighbor.

I don't get why everyone is saying that Michael John's elimination on American Idol last night is so shocking. He was forgettable and hasn't done anything to stand out from the pack in a while, so what is so shocking? I guess the shocking thing is that it wasn't the Tivo predicted Syesha or why is she still there Kristy Lee Cook. How is Kristy Lee Bore still there? And when it comes to S-yawn-a I wonder if she was really got the lowest votes, but because of the Tivo story the producers overturned it and eliminated Michael Johns instead???
To me the only shocking eliminations would be either David. I think David Archulette will win American Idol; and that David Cook will be the real shock elimination and not make it to the final 3.
So are you shocked that it was Michael Johns last night or are you like me and don't care that he was eliminated?

Next week is all about Dolly Parton on American Idol. The final 9 American Idols will be performing her songs and I am already dreading how bad it is going to be. It is not that her songs are bad, I just fear their performances will be. But I be a little more OK with it if one of them does Straight Talk tolerably…I love that movie.
Hopefully their performances won't be so bad that she will decide not to perform Jesus & Gravity on Wednesday.
BTW that guy I already forgot about was eliminated.

Holy f*cking shit that was f*cking amazing! I have chills just like Paula I am blown away! He even made Simon Cowell stutter and I have never seen that before in the 7 season have you?
Whether he wins the American 7 or not he will be the biggest seller of American Idol’s history and then some. I want David Cook’s album now. He is what American Idol is all about. Wow, f*cking wow!!!
I am such a purist with music and I hate when they destroy songs on Idol, but I am just in awe what David Cook has done to ’80s song Lionel Richie’s Hello and Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean and brought them into the new millennium and will introduce a new generation to songs of yesteryear. I mean he still keeps the flavor, but modernizes the heck out of them!
You go boy!!!
Can you believe this is the same song? Not that I am complaining, but just thought it would be fun for y’all to compare. Wow!
UPDATE: I just listened to Ryan’s intro and heard that David Cook did Chris Cornell’s version of the song, but I think David Cook added even more to the song and made it more haunting and worked it out so much better…sorry Chris.

I think for the first I know who all the American Idol contestants are this season. It only took how long?
I am not shocked Amanda Overmyer is gone her voice is good for a bar, but ruined the group numbers. Here is to hoping that Kristy Lee Cook goes next week because how many songs can one person destroy? It is cruel and unusual punishment for us viewers and the surviving artists she is doing it to.

How the heck was David Hernadez voted off instead of Kristy Lee Cook? Seriously she sang Eight Days a Week so badly that I am not sure I will ever be able to listen to it again and that was one my favorite Beatles tunes. She must must must go next week. But back to David Hernandez, now I bummed I will never hear him sing Adam Ant's Strip.
BTW here is American Idol's Top 11, I will include who is who because I still don't know which one is which.
Clockwise from Bottom L : Ramiele Malubay, Brooke White, David Archuleta, Kristi Lee Cook, David Cook, Michael Johns, Carly Smithson, Amanda Overmyer, Chickieze and Jason Castro.

Homesick Simon Cowell spoke to his hometown paper The Sun about this season of American Idol and let's just say I agree with him.
He said: “To be honest with you I’m not really enjoying the current American Idol season.
“It actually reminds me of the last X Factor series we did. It’s just a bit dull.”
Minus David Cook's performance of Hello, I have seriously forgotten about all the other performances. I still don't know who most of them are, and I am not sure I care to find out who they are.
Maybe now that we are finaly down to Top 12 it will get better. Just maybe…
Tune in to Fox tonight at 8p to see the Top 12 attempt the Beatles.

-
Yeah I know I am late on this, but it just hit me that Adam Ant’s Strip would have been the perfect song choice for David Hernandez on Tuesday. Afterall it was ’80s night on American Idol and that is an ’80s song. Maybe down the line he will consider singing it because it really would be a perfect song for him…

Top Row L-R: Amanda Overmyer, Jason Castro, David Cook, Chikezie, Michael Johns, Carly Smithson and Kristie Lee Cook.
Bottom Row L-R: Syesha Mercado, David Hernandez, Ramiele Malubay, Brooke White and David Archuleta.
It only took us to two months to get to American Idol 7's Top 12 and I still don't know who most of them are. That is why I posted their names because I am assuming most of you don't know who they are either. But don't worry in two weeks we will know everything about them…not like we haven't learned some interesting things already about David Hernandez and Ramiele Malubay.
Let the horrible theme nights begin…
UPDATE: ETonline asked David Hernandez and the Top 12 about his past work…

-
Finally a performance on American Idol 7 that made me go wow! What David Cook did to Hello was eerie but it worked! I would love to hear his version inserted in to the original Lionel Richie music video because I think it would make his video work even better!
I hope David Cook stays because I want to see what else he can do.
BTW I haven’t posted much on Idol because to be honest this season is really boring me. Anyone else not as impressed with this season of American Idol singers?

TMZ is reporting that Bo Bice wanna be, former-boy bander Robbie Carrico is wearing a wig. Now that I look at the picture that does look like a wig. I say a man who wants to be a rock star and is so desperate to that he is wearing a wig is a loser. Real rockers don't wear wig unless they get their own dating show on Vh1! To quote another boy band…Bye Bye Bye!

Sadly Maxim Online released these pictures of American Idol 7's Amy Davis a little too late because the chances of her not getting eliminated tonight are as small as the bikini she is wearing in these photos.
Plus the pretty girls with a model past never make it to the Top 12.

Get your dialing fingers warmed up because starting Tuesday we start to vote who we want to make it to the Top 12! Yes we are still a month away before our vote really matters, but if you want your guy/gal in the Top 12 you got start voting next Tuesday!!!
Good luck to whomever those 24 are! We might not know your names now, but in a few weeks we will know all about you! Especially with the expanded results shows!

Is it just me or do they all look like Simon Cowell?
I can't wait to see who will make it to American Idol 7's Top 24 on Wednesday Night! But before they reveal who are behind those masks check out a special 2 hour American Idol tomorrow and the big one hour reveal on Wednesday!
UPDATE: Fox announced today that they will be expanding the results show to an hour. Noooooooo. The half hour results show is painful as it is, expanding to an hour is going to make me want to go for a root canal.

It is that time of year when people that think they can sing try out for American Idol and we sit and watch as they hurt our ears. So this year I am prepared, I bought my ear plugs to get through the audition phase of AI.
So tune into watch what Philly has to offer tonight on Fox at 8p and tomorrow tune in tomorrow to see Dallas. Hopefully there is at least one good singer in those two cities…

American Idol starts off next Tuesday its audition part of the series in Philadelphia before moving to Dallas on Wednesday. The next audition cities San Diego , Omaha , Atlanta , Charleston and Miami have yet to be announced.
I can't wait to see all the bad singers, I don't know why but I like the bad singers…unless they hurt my ears!

Dang girl can open wide.
BTW does anyone remember who Jordin Sparks is? Seriously American Idol 7 was so lame, I barely even remember it or care that she is releasing an album tomorrow.

Even though American Idol is over 2 months away, this week begins the Hollywood Audition phase. Nigel Lythgoe has told the NY Post he is making some changes to show for its 7th season.
Several changes are in the works, officials say, including:
* changing the format to let singers show other musical talents, such as guitar playing.
* many fewer "mentors," those established musical stars like Diana Ross and Tony Bennett, who appeared every week last season and took attention away from the contestants.
* and next summer, the annual "Idol" live tour may be combined with the "So You Think You Can Dance" tour - to create a show with both singing and dancing.
Hopefully with fewer mentors that means fewer bad theme nights, but I don't think we will get that lucky. I also don't like the merger of the SYTYCD and the American Idol tour. Maybe if the Judges who are narrowing the 160 contestants down to 24 do a better job picking more interesting and likable people the American Idol tour will sell again. Hint Hint Hint, last year sucked!

The Next Great American Band, you know the American Idol for bands, premieres tonight at 8p on Fox. I am curious to see what this show is all about and what type of bands make it to the final 10!!!
