President Bush
The Top 10 pose with President George W. Bush in the Oval Office. the first Idols invited to the White House
American Idol winner Taylor Hicks and his fellow finalists, including runner-up Katherine McPhee, visited the White House Friday but President Bush provided the entertainment. |
Let me be the first to say it, Yeah!!!!!!!
Thanks jonny and I look forward to fabulous year!!!!
Taylors major-label debut album was released just before Christmas, selling a respectable 500,000 copies so far (certified gold) and reaching #2 on The Billboard 200. (billboard) |
After receiving mixed reviews for her performances the night before, it was no surprise that Katharine McPhee found herself, once again, facing elimination. What was a surprise, however, was seeing fan favorite Chris Daughtry standing beside her in the bottom two. |
WOW Jonny! Is that sketch yours? The one at the top of the page....it is fantastic!
Thanks for the ping. I will be silently watching and reading during mountain time. But know that I am here with you in spirit.
The annoyingly cute Paris is working on an album that will be released between February and March of this year. Two songs from that album are now available on her myspace page. |
Her album Small Town Girl actually made it to #1 on Billboards Top Country Chart and has sold nearly 300,000 copies to date. (Billboard)
But if her singing--and the critics reviews-- are any indication, Kellie will probably make a more favorable impression as an actress. She was recently offered a sitcom deal where she will play a naïve small town girl (thats a stretch) who discovers that her biological father is the governor of North Carolina.
The FOX sitcom is being developed by the same creative team behind That 70s Show and will be produced by American Idols 19 Entertainment. (eonline)

Last season, as he was entering the semifinals, Bucky was asked: If you don't make it on AMERICAN IDOL, what will you do? |
The big girl with the big voice has also moved to Nashville and has signed a record deal with Christian label EMI-CMG. In addition to performing, Mandisa is currently writing a book titled Idol Eyes: My New Perspective of Faith, Fat and Fame (wkrn.com/nashville) |
The 17 year old from California didnt leave much of an impression, but rounding out the Top 10 of American Idol has some perks, at least. Tucker recently appeared in the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Years Day and has made cameos as herself on a few TV shows. She graduated high school last June and plans to attend Cal State Fullerton eventually, but will be taking her first year off to work on her major-debut album (wikipedia). |
