6/4: Nigel critiques the Davids, Archuleta concert nixed
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Ahh… a much more newsworthy day than yesterday!
On Cook, he noted:
He can certainly sing - and I’d like to see a bit more personality when he’s singing,” he said.
“And that was the only thing that I think our finalists lacked a little bit this year, was more charisma.”
Really? Personally, I thought Cook had comparable if not better stage personality than, say, Daughtry or Carrie. And those two have done pretty well for themselves. In comparison, Taylor Hicks was an amazing stage performer and now he’s considered a failure, relatively speaking.
In other “Idol” news:
-A charity thank-you concert in Salt Lake City with David Archuleta this Friday was cancelled. {More info here.](http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_9471163):
“They’re just going to reschedule the event for a later time,” Jeff Archuleta told The Salt Lake Tribune this afternoon. “When all the minds met, everyone concluded this wouldn’t work out for this particular weekend, and they just want to reschedule it for toward the middle or the end of the [”American Idol” summer] tour,” he said.
-Jason Castro’s homecoming drew about 15,000 people in Rockwall, Texas. Impressive!
-People got quotes from Clay Aiken’s friends about his upcoming artifically inseminated baby.
“Congratulations, Clay!” says American Idol alum Jennifer Hudson. “I think he will be a good parent.”
And Carmen Rasmussen:
“I remember him saying, ‘I can’t wait to be a dad and have a family and have my own kids. He really was looking forward to being a father, even five years ago. I thought it was so cute that that was a priority for him.”
-Daughtry guested on the new Atlanta-based band Sevendust’s album “Hope and Sorrow.”
