Damn, now I feel REALLY old.

Here are their birth years, I think:
Bo and Constantine were born in 1975
Anwar-1979
Anthony 1986
Carrie/Vonzell 1983
Nadia/Scott 1977

I think Scott graduated Shaker Heights High School in 1998/99. That would put his birth date at late 80's.

I think smoking gun in the police report had his birthdate on it.

 

[damo]

Scott is 28. I think he just stayed in high school awhile.

 

[Cindy B]

Heres his police report. He was 24 in 2001. (date of report)

That makes it 1977, he must have been in high school longer than four years.
I thought he was younger than that. Either that or he went to adult high school and "graduated" at a later date. I'm an older soon to be college graduate, so professors are suprised when they meet me for the first time.

My math was off.

A few corrections:
Bo and Constantine were born in 1975
Scott 1976
Nadia 1977
Anwar-1979
Carrie 1983
Vonzell 1984
Anthony 1985

I was in high school in 1984 and 1985

Hey, I'm only 5 years older than Bo and Constantine...

 

[eeyore0062]

I graduated from college in 1985.... I do feel old!!!!

Latest speculation is top country hits for this week's theme. However, I also heard earlier that there would not be a country night. So far we have only two speculated themes!!!

Josh Gracin will be singing on the show on Wednesday.

 

[macraven]

gee, i really wasn't counting on a hoe down night.........

 

[RyMickey]

If Josh Gracin's singing (ugh!), country would be a fit. To me, country just seems a little unfair to everyone but Carrie and (probably) Bo. Oh, well. Carrie's gonna win the whole thing anyway (for better or worse), so it probably doesn't matter.

Up until last week the competition was fair to everyone. Doing musicals really was probably more towards the girls. Country isn't so bad...maybe they could include some southern rock in that, plus there are ballads and some pretty big cross over hits.

Josh Gracin was nominated for a CMT award tonight (breakthrough video) he lost to Gretchen Wilson...no surprise there. His singing has got to be 200 % better then Fantasia's last week.

Not necessarily. Depending on how 'loose' they let them be with the theme, they could find songs to fit them all. Southern Rock would be PERFECT for some of them.

Heck, Even Jimmy Buffett is doing the Country thing right now!

Well, that's for darn sure. I was gonna type that I'd rather hear Mikalah sing than Fantasia, but then I realized what the heck I was gonna type and thought better of myself.

I loved Josh Gracin last season, and he actually sounds great on the radio. Then again, I like country! He's had a successful career since AI and I'm surprised his name is hardly ever mentioned. I met him in person at the Del Mar Fair in San Diego, and got my picture taken with him. He's a really nice, very down to earth guy. And he's hotter in person too!

And I don't see how a "country" theme is any more unfair to some of the contestants than an R&B theme, a rock theme, or an 80's theme. Every contestant has a genre they're especially good at, and so where rock might be right up Constantine's alley, or R&B up Nikko or Nadia's alley, so is country for Carrie or maybe even Bo (although Bo can rock!)

That's one way to get fingerprints off the monitor - I just spit my soda out laughing!!!!!!! ROFLMAO!!!

I couldn't have said it better!!!!!!

Is Josh really gonna be singing?? I hope so!! Or will he just be in the audience the way Ruben was a couple of weeks ago??

 

[disneychrista]

I hope Josh will be singing and I hope that they do indeed do a country night. Isnt the point of the different themes to see how well their voices can adapt to the different styles. A really good singer can sing many different styles.

 

[Philadisney]

i won't be home until midnight tomorrow night and i don't have a vcr with a timer so i can't watch the show. hopefully it IS country, then i won't mind if i miss it....i'll certainly be relying on all you guys for a recap!

 

[LadyBears]

I confirmed rumors I heard about Hall & Oates being there tomorrow night at their website. From what I understand, they will have a guest spot in the audience & a quick interview w/ Ryan. They are trying to promote their new album. FWIW - they will also be on the Ellen show earlier, so if anyone watches, maybe they will mention something??
