The blonde girl that you've seen in the commercials sings "Since U Been Gone", wows the judges, and she has the all-important backstory (her dad has been in and out of prison)
That first girl, WOW! amazing voice.
Dang, why couldn't I have a dad that was in and out of prison. No, my dad had to be semi-normal and kept me from being a Star. :)
Uh oh. The folks over on Kelly's board were saying her management didn't want to release the songs for use on AI. Seems Nigel Lythgoe is not a happy camper. From Reality TV mag:
Apparently the bickering isn’t limited to just the contestants, because Lythgoe also hinted at some conflict between the judges. Lythgoe said “At one point Simon storms out of the room and just can’t take Randy and Paula anymore, and leaves the audition.” In this season of conflict, there also appears to be some potential problems with past contestants. In regards to Kelly Clarkson, Lythgoe said “it appears that Kelly isn’t clearing some of her music for American Idol which is very strange.” Lythgoe went on to add that he wasn’t sure if Kelly was aware of this and that he felt things would be worked out.
Double uh oh. If she's pretty, Simon will surely tell this one she will outsell all the other idols combined.
