[Netizen]

I just read last night comments on this thread and am surprised that no one else noticed that the Pickler was way ahead of the music. I think she botched a lyric and lost her place. The music was playing notes ahead of what she was singing. I was actually embarrassed for her.

They were talking about that on the radio this morning. They also spoke with John? from Dial Idol. He said all things point to Ace leaving tonight and no ties, like last week between Bucky and Ace.

They played parts of some of the songs on the radio and most sounded really bad on the radio. Taylor and Chris still sounded good over the radio, Pickles and Ace were terrible.

A woman called in from Pa. and said she heard a rumor from her husband's work place, that someone from Fuel was cut from the band and that they have contacted Chris. They said that would make sense since he did a couple of tjeir songs.

I know he did one, but, did he do two? Not sure how much stock I'd put into that rumor. She didn't say what type of work her husband did or where he worked.

I don't know if they have contacted Chris, but they are looking for a new lead singer. It was on our local Fox station a week or two ago that they were in Chicago holding auditions.

...someone from Fuel was cut from the band and that they have contacted Chris...

Someone did leave their band, and they are looking for a new lead singer. I had heard that they contacted Chris and asked him to "apply". That was the rumor I heard several weeks ago, right after he sang the Fuel song.

He did sing one Fuel song early, and many people stated that it was "better than the original". He has not sung a 2nd Fuel song.
