7/23: Trenyce joining Ruben, Frenchie in “Ain’t Misbehavin’”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’m off to Chicago today for what is likely to be a very depressing journalists’ convention. (The biz isn’t exactly on a hot streak right now…) So apologies in advance that this won’t be the most scintillating Idol blog entry ever.
Trenyce is the third “Idol” finalist to join the national tour of “Ain’t Misbehavin’ ” which comes to Fox Theatre this November.
She joins Ruben Studdard and Frenchie Davis on the show.
“When I heard Ruben was a part of it, I was excited because it has been such a while since we really got a chance to hang out,” she told blackvoices.com. “When I got the role and he called me and it took us a while to get off the phone because we were catching up on each others lives. He is like my brother. I love him so much. And then Frenchie, I hadn’t really seen her since I went to see ‘Rent’ a few years ago. It will be nice to see her again as well. I love the fact that we were all from the same season and now we are all reuniting on stage again, but in another capacity.”
Debra Byrd, the vocal coach for “Idol,” is helping out with the show as well.
-David Cook talks to the Detroit Free Press before Thursday’s “Idols Live” show.
As usual, he sounds like a decent guy:
Q: Is fame what you imagined it to be?
A: It is so much more than I could ever have imagined. I never want to be that person that turns anybody away for showing interest in my career and myself. In that aspect, I’m making the time for everybody. As soon as I got off the bus here, I went and dropped my bags off and went outside and signed autographs for 30, 40 minutes. The people that come to these shows are the people who put me where I’m at, so it seems like the very least I can do.
He danced around a question related to the fans “Cougars for Cook.”
-And the usual coverage of auditions here, now in Louisville, Ky..
