8/9: Advice from past contestants
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
AP vetted the various Idol contestants for advice for future contestants.
Mostly, it’s along the lines of “be yourself.” Constantine is the gabbiest of the bunch. My favorite line:
If you make it, he said your newfound fame likely comes with a sell-by date.
“There’s going to be a huge buzz when you’re on ‘American Idol’ and shortly when you get off it, and then there will be a quiet time. And for 99.9 percent of the people, it will remain quiet. They’re not going on to great things. That’s just a fact, Jack.”
If you want a fairly endless amount of coverage from the Pasadena tryouts, the USA Today Idol Chatter blog works it and works it and works it.
I just spoke with Mike Hardee, Taylor’s local buddy from Auburn who is helping book gigs for the Little Memphis Blues Orchestra. He said Taylor didn’t leave Thursday night but also didn’t go to the after party at Wild Wing Cafe. Rather, Hardee said Taylor went to Buckhead’s Tongue & Groove.

The Fox affiliate is going all out on Taylor’s homecoming today in Birmingham. He did make it to a party Monday night at Workplay with his former band the Little Memphis Blues Orchestra. Check out coverage here or over at MJ’s blog.
