The 2009 American Idol Thread....

[DLSuperVet]

Can anybody provide me with a link to the good thread? The strict thread wasn't as fun as the open thread last year.

We're still chattingabit on the old one here

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1855523&page=42

but once the new season starts we'll start a new one.

Not sure if that is the "good one" though, just depends on what you like.

I started this thread to stay away from the chatty one.

Oops! I suppose I'll see my way out then.

 

[friend of pooh]

I'm not sure I understand the 2 threads thing. If this is for "on topic" things, how is it here since the show didn't start yet? Wouldn't all the "I heard", "I hope", and "Did you hear", be considered chatting? I want to post in the right spot but I am all confused.

 

[bicker]

Yeah, I find that confusing too, pooh. That's rather why I originally suggested that there be separate "on topic" threads for each week -- by making them per-week, they're more clearly focused on what's actually happening on the broadcasts. It seems premature for anything other than the "chatty" thread to be started. But I'm easy... however folks wanna do it is okay from my perspective as long as there are separate threads for "chatty" and "on topic".

 

[r3ngels]

I don't mind either... I am just ready for some idol...

I love the David Cook commercial where he rewinds his life to his audition... I love him

 

[Jennasis]

I haven't seen the DC commercial but I was in WDW during the parade taping. If I had known he was going to be there I would SO have made DH take me to MK that day.

SO far I am pretty jazzed about the new season. Everytime a commercial comes on for it I get all goose-bumpy!

I dunno, maybe this year I'll have to stay out of the various Idol threads (ON-Topic only, chatty, whatever...) altogether. I don't want to slip and inadvertently chat when I'm not supposed to or something. Maybe I'll hang out wherever Mandy (as in "Mandy200587?") ends up - she always has the most interesting insights.

Nice to see you dolphindan.

agnes!
PS - Apologies if this is chatting.

Kara DioGuardi: Meet 'Idol' judge ...

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20007164_20171835_20249176,00.html

"She's the kind of 38-year-old who can rock a black leather jacket with leggings and write hits for everyone from Pink to Ashlee Simpson to the Jonas Brothers."

I'm actually quite excited to see how DioGuardi works out. She's the most relevant person to sit on that judge's panel, AFAIC.

"She's the kind of 38-year-old who can rock a black leather jacket with leggings and write hits for everyone from Pink to Ashlee Simpson to the Jonas Brothers."

Hits? I never thought I'd see those three acts and "hits" mentioned in the same sentence.

Sorry. I couldn't resist. Back to the "chatty" thread for me.

 

[bicker]

Well, I cannot account for Ashlee Simpson and the Jonas Brothers (I know nothing about them) but Funhouse, by Pink, is a certifiable (gold) hit record. It debuted at #2 in the United States and several other countries, and at #1 in Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom. The track that DioGuardi contributed to, Sober, has been certified gold in Australia, and broke the Top 40 (singles) in the United States. (It is a great song, too.)

 

[bicker]

I love this little bit on DioGuardi from her Wikipedia entry... "To date, she has had over 46 albums in the Top 10 on Billboard magazine's 200 album chart. Her songs are on various hit albums that have altogether sold over 100 million copies."

American Idol star Gina Glocksen will marry longtime boyfriend Joe Ruzicka on New Year's Eve.

[bicker]

Did anyone hear Chris Daughtry on Fox's New Year's Eve show last night? Ohmygosh, his voice is wrecked. He's been touring way too long, it seems. His voice was perfect when we saw him in concert in August.

 

[browneyes106]

I posted in the other thread about season 7 being replayed for the next 12 days on Fox Reality Channel.

Getting close!

One more day...
