Off topic, but since Adam tweeted about Pia twice, I guess it's okay? usweekly Us Weekly It's an Us exclusive! #AmericanIdol's Pia Toscano scores a record deal: bit.ly/ijcwa628 minutes ago "The 22-year-old New Yorker -- booted from the Fox series Thursday -- will record her debut album under the Interscope Records imprint, which is chaired by Idol mentor Jimmy Iovine" edit: Haha, lindy had the same idea. :D I don't know if I believe their sources. This may all be coming from Pia being seen entering the buliding where they have their offices? It also is the location of a radio station, I guess, where she was doing an interview. Why would they want a 9th place winners' album to come out before the winners' album? Makes no sense. If this is true, I agree, Q3, it puts the nail in the coffin that winning matters. I might belive this if it was coming from People Mag. US has turned into another tabloid, IMO. There is confirmation that Interscope A&R is calling songwriters looking for songs -- completed songs, not-cowrites -- so they can get her in the studio quickly. That squares with the US Magazine story. And ITA US Magazine is just a tabloid that prints lots of gossip that is not confirmed. They were one of the main problems on making the Adam-Gaga party story into something that it was not. But in that case, the real culprit was the NY Post (also a tabloid IMO). In any case, it is sad she got voted off so early because she can really sing but every Adam fan knows that Idol is not about singing. Now or ever. If it was about just singing Adam would have won, and so would have Melinda Doolittle. In Adam's case, he was the real Idol and should have won. In Melinda's case, she had a great voice but that isn't enough -- you also need to connect with the Idol audience. (And not have other political factors involved in the vote.) |

ITA, about Pia not 'reaching" the audience! I am an Idol Loon, I admit it! I watch and I vote! As good as a singer that I thought Pia was, I never once voted for her. I need performance in my performers. I just can't help but feel that signing her and releasing a single before the winner is a mistep. Idol already suffers from credibility issues. I don't think this will help. And, I think it might seriously cut into the amount of votes they get. Why vote for my favorite to stay on if they might get a contract and a record sooner by being eliminated?! :-/ Of course, it's a different label this year. So maybe they just want to try out some new strategies. Hey! Maybe Pia can premiere her new single on the show before it ends next month?!  |

It's Saturday and I am missing my Atop friends from last week's soiree - guys, we need to do this again. It is addicting, isn't it? Mszue - have a great time at the viewing party today. We used the DVD you sent me for the soundcheck/preview and it was great. Thanks for your kindness. Midwifespal - thanks for the reminder. Did not realize today is the last day. Only $83 short of $322 K - awesome! Peeps in LA - I will be visiting my sick friend who is like a sister to me on Easter weekend. She lives in the Glendale area. Would love to meet some of you over a cup of coffee but understand if your schedules are full. I'd love to try to get together. Maybe we can plan on lunch or drinks on Saturday, depending on what your schedule is with your friend.  Keep us posted. I have family coming for the whole weekend! :( :D How far in advance of the weekend will you be there, mayumi? Thursday would work for me. |

I have family coming for the whole weekend! :( :D How far in advance of the weekend will you be there, mayumi? Thursday would work for me. I am arriving late Thursday night and leaving on Tuesday night (Ontario Airport). My real sister is flying from Manila and I am staying with her and her daughter in Rancho Cucamonga. Our friend knows I am coming but does not know about my sister so it will be a surprise for her. I will PM the LA peeps once I have my schedule finalized. |
