8/30: Sierra in rehab, Bo rumors
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A judge rescheduled ex-American Idol finalist Jessica Sierra’s trial on battery and drug charges after her lawyer said the singer is in a California rehabilitation facility, according to Associated Press.
And how about this for random? “Idol” judge Randy Jackson produced local boy Travis Tritt’s latest CD, which debuted this week at No. 28 and sold 23,000 copies on an indie label. Jackson brought out Tritt’s soulful side.
Fan Web sites for Bo Bice say his management has announced a pushed-back release date of October 23 for his sophomore CD, the same day as Carrie Underwood’s! I can’t find any direct info about it and I’m not sure what record label is putting it out or if this is even true. It would be an amusing re-match, if true. Here are references on Bonafide Bice and Bo Bice Underground..

8/29: Idols live & other miscellany
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I spoke with the flaks handling “Idols Live” and will do the same thing I did last year: go to Gwinnett Arena at 3 p.m. Sept. 12 for the media meet and greet with four or so of the “Idol” finalists, then blog from the actual concert. (Last year, we got Lisa, Bucky, Taylor and Paris.) I won’t know which four, but I’ll take pictures. I am also going to talk to Chris Sligh on Tuesday, Sept. 4. If you have any questions you want me to ask any of the contestants, email them to me at rho@ajc.com. I can’t guarantee who will show up but I will ask a question to the pertinent person.
And here are the results from Idol Chatter’s season four revisionist idol vote.. Bo fans came in and helped edge out Carrie for the top slot. Constantine fans also pushed him up from 6th place to 3rd. My favorite Nadia Turner moved up to 4th from 8th, which I’m very happy about. Vonzell lost some steam, falling from her actual finish of 3rd to 5th. Anthony Fedorov also slipped, from 4th to 6th. Jessica Sierra surprisingly did well. landing 7th, up from her actual 10th place finish. Anwar slipped from 7th to 8th. Nikko landed in 9th, which is where he finished in 2005, too. I gave him a 6th place slot in my personal ballot. Surprisingly, Lindsey Cardinale, who I thought was a yawner, moved up to 10th from 12th. Not surprisingly, Scott Savol dropped from 5th to 11th with virtually no support. And Mikalah Gordon landed in last, compared to 11th in the real competition.
Season five voting is in full force. Vote away here. It should be an interesting vote. Will Daughtry fans help him win it all this time. Or will the Soul Patrol keep Taylor on top? I bet Mandisa will do better. It’ll be interesting to see if Paris remains in the top 5. I doubt it.
