The part of that that I like most is that Simon never liked Josh much. :) Now he's eating a little crow. :)
Exactly. Josh finished his commitment to the Marines, got his honorable discharged, then moved his family to Nashville. He's succeeded the old-fashioned way, through hard work, and the AI machine never helped him a bit (other than his appearing on the show).
I saw her in concert a few weeks ago, too. She completely rocked on "Barracuda!" Although, I'm a huge Heart fan, so I love that song anyway. Not many people can do as well as Ann Wilson, but she was awesome.
Didn't he spend some time in Iraq? Bless him. He deserves the success.
Emily, although I don't know if Josh went to Iraq, I know for certain he has entertained troops on bases here in the U.S. Kelly Clarkson went to Iraq to entertain our troops there. If Josh hasn't gone, I'm sure he will when the opportunity presents itself.
I think he did go.... seems to me his unit was called up when he was on AI and they released him until his time on the show was over. He went like 2 weeks after he was voted off. He didn't get to go on the tour either.
I think. :)
They're professionals. They sing for money.
Well, when she performs at a Democrat function and trashes Republicans the way a lot of celebs do, I'll get disappointed and cynical like you....
Your taking of my comments as cynical is ill founded. I made an observation that performers go where they are paid to perform.
One should not be surprised if each of them might perform for a group of Democrats in the future. It is what they do in their respective careers.
I take it as cynical because you won't see the Dixie Chicks doing a Republican fundraiser, regardless of the pay. Have a nice day :-)
You would see them if they were paid enough. Of course it would be RINOs who would hire them.
