Jonny, can you add me to the ping list?
Although I wish I could join you guys as it's happening, but I'm on Pacific Time. I love reading the thread the next day. Everyone here seems like so much fun. You all make me laugh.
Hey Jonny, I wanted to thank you for starting up these threads again for this season. My family and I really appreciate the humor and the comments. See ya tonight!
I heard today that only 17 were picked from the round in Minn. We only got to see 6-7 of those, so there are an additional 10 that went through. What must they sound like if AI didn't show them last night? Do they generally show the better ones jonny or do you know?
LOL, those are good potty mouths! Perfect for the juggling boy from last night. Thanks!

American Idol Champ Taylor Hicks' Self Titled Debut Album is Certified Platinum by the RIAA!
Wednesday January 17, 3:26 pm ET
The first single, 'Just To Feel That Way,' goes to radio this week
Hicks begins his first headlining U.S. tour on February 21st.
NEW YORK, Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- American Idol's current reigning champion Taylor Hicks is now a platinum recording artist. His self-titled debut album TAYLOR HICKS (Arista Records/19 Recordings) was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America selling over one million copies since its release on December 12, 2006.
Hicks has reached this coveted platinum milestone prior to the release of an official single. The first single, "Just To Feel That Way," goes to radio this week.
To ring in the New Year Hicks will also kick off his first headlining tour on Wednesday, February 21st, in Jacksonville, Florida at the Florida Theater with dates currently scheduled to run through April 27th in Kansas City, MO. This is the first time fans will be able to see him perform songs from the new album in a live venue.
After a lifetime steeped in blues, soul, pop and R&B, Taylor's artistry was reaffirmed and validated in no uncertain terms this past year, when he won the fifth season of FOX's American Idol on May 24, 2006.

Do you remember where you heard this or read it? I'm looking for at least the names of those who made in from Minn.
Does AI ever announce those, and if they do, when? Last year I only paid attention to T. Hicks and I don't know how it really works as far as advancing and notices.
If anyone has info on the SONGWRITING competition for the finally song also I would be interested in that info too. Well...I'm just high maintenance needy today aren't I?
LMAO!!
Happy to :)
Paul's advice to the kids: "Don't marry a one-legged blonde."
:)
Yeah, that's his advice to everybody. LOL!
To who--Paula?
Probably not :-/
Thanks you :)
Not always. They usually show the most entertaining (good or bad) at this stage.
We don't see most of the better singers until the Hollywood round.
Good news! I wasn't expecting that.
It's even the title of his next album :)
They should keep those two far, far apart! LOL
LOL!!
