the question is why was the Aug. 16th live chat cancelled... do we have any ideas? Maybe he had to cancel it to have a phone meeting with the Idol peeps  Or Steve Strange. jk  Last minute schedule changes is really vague, maybe he was running late and couldn't make it in time?   |

Hmmm, interesting. This is the first Nick Jonas thing that actually worries me. :-/ Yeah, and I'm not getting the cross-pollination between E!, NBC, and Fox. I didn't get how Ryan Seacrest became a correspondent/interviewer at the NBC Olympics when he is so closely associated with Fox, and how "Home" all the sudden gets major exposure on a competing network because Al Michael's daughter is involved in American Idol. And didn't someone post that there is a new show on E! that Ryan Seacrest is producing with Kevin Jonas, with Nick making occasional appearances? (I really have not been following closely to know if my facts are straight, but all these things do give one pause if they are true.) I dunno. That and the Demi Lovato as representing the "youth contingent" on X-Factor, the criticism of Idol not being youth-oriented enough, and the resurgence of boy bands, like One Direction. I really think we need to view this as a big possibility. I have teen daughters. I can help only from what I have experienced. One of my daughters was/is a huge Jonas Fan. I have seen Nick three times in concert, twice with the brothers and once alone (He is very shy when not singing). Nick's fans have all went to One Direction. They do not want to see Nick on Idol (They think it is for old people). The reality show with the brother has some possibilities. They are interested in the romance of Kevin and his new wife. Demi and XFactor are a different story. One Direction came from XFactor UK. All the 1D fans re-watch the videos of the XF performances. This has introduced the format to them. They are excited to see Demi. They consider her a role model whose singing career is at the beginning stage. My daughter and her group did not watch the XFactor US season 1 but are planning to give it a chance for its second season. They have no interest in Britney. I asked if there was anyone to get them to watch idol. She said maybe Pink, but really the format and music of Idol were boring. They know nothing or care about Mariah. My daughter belongs to a PG Jonas Forum which is mostly girls 13 to 20. That is where they talk about 1D and their hatred for Beiber. They want Nick on Broadway and singing with his brothers. They rarely talk about Nick or Joe Jonas any more, only the married couple. I hope this helps understand the lack of Nick enthusiasm for AI judge. I wondered the same thing about Ryan and the cross promotion. The media has only two working journalist. Ryan Seacrest for Entertainment. George Stephanopoulos for everything else. IMO Demi was the bargain of the year. It was brilliant casting on the part of Simon Cowell. Time will tell. |

YES! Although I had a very humbling experience. My daughter has just started piano lessons and is learning, in bits and pieces, how to read music. I don't understand enough to help her with questions. This is the first time she knows more about a subject than I do - even though for years she been saying, "you're wrong Mom!". On another note (ha! get the pun?) - all of these scheduling questions within the next 7-10 days. My head is starting to hurt. Aww :D Regarding the schedule, that's why I'm chillin' and relaxin' 8-) It's a really hot day today here .. but I'm too chillin' and relaxin' watching Graham Norton re-run with Harry Connick Jr. as a guest.. ;D ;D and dogs that sing opera .. LOL |

>> STEALING BRIAN MAY'S SOAPBOX FOR A SEC <<Just a suggestion, save the angsting for real problems -- like the 7 US soldiers and 4 Afghans who died in the helicopter crash in Afghanistan yesterday. Adam will make millions this year, he has a major label contract with a label who supports him and trusts him -- Exec Prod credit is not just a throw away title. He has a great family and Sauli. He is knocking them dead in Japan and even got Japanese Freddie to go to his concert. (I think this is a first for JF.) He has a tour in planning. A new single getting released. A brilliant licensing deal and some songs he wrote worth licensing. ETC ETC ETC ETC I do not think Adam really wants fans to worry -- he is here to entertain us and put out an album filled with dance music. So my suggestion is put on some hot music -- turn it up loud -- and dance. And if you playlist is all a single artist (no names but  I've been there), add in something else. There is so much great music out there -- and some of it is by my favorite singer, Adam Lambert. >> OFF THE SOAP BOX <<  |
