FBR member trying out for American Idol? This could really increase her popularity pending how far she goes....but might put her band in a little jeporady.
Anyway, I have a Twins Update.
Twin "Idol" Wannabes Booted
Friday January 27 7:07 PM ET
By Sarah Hall
Fox has dashed Terrell and Derrell Brittenum's dreams of becoming the next American Idols.
The 28-year-old identical twin brothers were "uninvited" from the competition after their criminal records became public fodder, their lawyer said.
"It was an amicable breakup," attorney Maurice Bennett said on an Atlanta radio station. "The guys understood why. It's amazing how these things work."
The Brittenums made their mark on American Idol during the first episode of the fifth season, when they wowed the judges at the Chicago auditions and earned passes to Hollywood.
But the Tennessee natives' brush with glory turned out to be short-lived, as the brothers soon landed behind bars on charges that they used another man's identity and financial information last June to purchase a 2005 Dodge Magnum in Atlanta. Both Brittenums refused extradition to Georgia, which led to additional charges against them.
Fox has remained mum on whether the brothers would be seen in future episodes of the talent search. However, the New York Post reports that the network put the kibosh on a planned live performance by the Brittenums Wednesday night on MSNBC's Scarborough County, indicating that they are probably still under contract.
According to Bennett, both brothers were released from jail on bond Sunday morning and were preparing to travel to Los Angeles for the next round of eliminations when they received word that their presence was no longer welcome.
Though the twins may have blown their shot at Idol worship, they reportedly have other opportunities to consider. Bennett claims to have been contacted by "several" record labels interested in signing the brothers.
Meanwhile, as the audition segments continued this week, tensions between the judges ran high, culminating in a temper tantrum thrown by none other than Simon Cowell.
After arguing back and forth with his fellow judges, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul, the snarky critic stormed out of the San Francisco auditions, leaving the other two to hear the final few contestants on their own.
"He was being obnoxious to the girl who was singing," Abdul told Entertainment Tonight. "He had just had it. Not only did he leave, but he left and took the plane home!"
Cowell admitted that he lost his patience with Abdul and Jackson.
"We had a major row. I got to the point where I said 'I can't sit next to you anymore,' and left," he told Entertainment Tonight. "But to be fair, Randy Jackson was being obnoxious that day as well. Occasionally, they turn into American music critics. I got to the point I couldn't sit with them anymore. There's a point in the day where you just think, 'There's no point in me sitting next to you anymore. Do it yourself.' So that's what I did." More than 32 million viewers watched Cowell blow his stack on Wednesday, just slightly fewer than the 34.8 million viewers who tuned in for Tuesday's episode. Last week's fifth season premiere set a new record for the talent search, drawing an audience of 35.5 million.

OK, I've been rather distant from AI ever since since season 3. After tonight, I think I'll be sticking around for this season.
Tonight I give props to the guys of the competition: The Morge dude, the "ladies man," the 16 year old guy, and the music major. I could see the morge dude and maybe the music major in the semi-finals.

The "ladies man" was stupid, conceited, arrogant and wasn't that talented. I can't believe Simon said "yes," as Paula was up to her usual stupid "only picking guys she likes" ways.

Heard today that "Sway" may be kicked out of the comp, he already had a recording contract.

God, Paula should be nicer to people that say they are fans of her. Pretty damn sad, even though they were creepy and weird, to get such attitude from their idol.

I bet Paula didn't fully know how big of a fan she was to her, and this is one way for the producers to spice the drama within the show.

I just watched the last 20/25 minutes of tonight's episode, and I am kind of irritated, not with the Judges, but by 2 of the contestants
1.) The Clay Aiken "Wannabe" - WT? One is good enough, although he was kind of good. I think he could've made it through if he maintained his own personal image instead of sinking to the "pop-princess" image, and lowered his demented ego.
2.) The Cher "Impersonator" - I know all lot of people might be cheering for this one, because he stood up to the judges, but I claim to differ. I think he was looking for some spotlight, and he had an agenda to do so. He did so by going into the audition knowing he wouldn't go through with his poorly-attempted impression, waited for Simon to throw the first word, and then strike back the way he did. This guy was a jerkish arse.

Paris is better than any single person to come from AI4, with the possible exception of Bo Bice and there have been a few others that stood out from the rest.
I'm finding less and less reasons for AI to continue on after this season, but there's at least some talent this season.
