I was crushed when the A.I. auditions were moved from Memphis, which is really wretched when you think that since Memphis auditions were moved to Greensboro that THAT'S why we now have Kellie Pickler in the competition. She wouldn't have made it to the auditions if not for the disaster relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina here in Memphis. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by my blog, and I'll be posting a link to you on my blogroll.J.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01890955694635838420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919009.post-1142388012673075122006-03-14T21:00:00.000-05:002006-03-14T21:00:00.000-05:00Thanks for posting this.

I didn't watch the pre-shows this year, but I can tell Kellie is TPTB's favorite. Did they feature Elliott at all in the pre-shows? He sounds like a true hard-luck story too, but he's not cute so I imagine TPTB ignored him.<BR/><BR/>There's such a conflict between the Simon's and Clive's who are looking for a good recording artist, and the Nigel's who are trying to make good tv. They often are not one in the same. Unfortunately, really good singers get left behind in favor of a good story, which is a shame. But it is odd how they decide to feature one person's sad story but not another's. It is neat that this show came about in the internet age, so you can aren't subject to getting only the info the producers want you to get, but you can find out stuff for yourself.<BR/><BR/>I should probably be writing all this on my own blog instead of clogging up your comments!!Thatchermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659962050663784994noreply@blogger.com
