Tidbits 7/25

• Extra TV - Rate Clay in the "Rate The Hottest Musicians" poll. When I rated him, 209 people had given him a total rating of 3.46 out of 10. Surely we can bring that up!!....Updated to say that as of 5:25 p.m. CST, Clay is up to 8.20 with 826 votes in. That just within a couple of hours! We know what a hot musician looks like!!

• Mercury News - none of the AI6 finalists look like they will be joining the ranks of Clay, Kelly, Carrie, Chris Daughtry -

  The concert featured the top 10 finalists - including eventual champ Jordin Sparks and runner-up Blake Lewis - none of whom came across like a sure bet to join the ranks of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Clay Aiken and Chris Daughtry as Idols that have thrived musically outside the show's umbrella.

• Broadway World interviews "Idol: The Musical" director -

  Based on the "American Idol" fanbase, the musical is a satire of the worship of recent "Idol" runner-up, Clay Aiken. It takes place in a small town in Ohio, where a group of quirky high school students who belong to a club in which they worship a shrine to Clay are getting ready for their graduation. Recently produced in Syracuse, the show is now running Off Broadway at the 45th Street Theater, and began previews July 5th.
