The American Idol Experience

[DisneyFanKevin]

I'm betting on Kelly.

I'm betting on Kelly.

She kind of has a bad attitude towards everything Idol. She has really tried to pull away from anything having to do with it. I guess she feels like she's moved beyond that, which she kind of has. There's no reason for her to be a *beep* about it though. If it wasn't for Idol she would be nothing.

Exactly. Although, I've never really heard about her doing that, but I trust your post. Why she is ungrateful, I shall never know.

Omigosh you never heard about her being like that? It was a long time ago, but it was all over like Entertainment Tonight and stuff. Simon even made a comment about it saying that if you chose to ignore the show, you chose to ignore the fans who made you.

I'm getting there a few hours early for this. I'm thinking heading out there around 1:00 to get a good spot.

I was thinking we'd go earlier than that just in case. If we get there and it seems too early then we can go ride some things or watch a few shows. I have a feeling there are going to be some people camping out for spots at parking opening.

Nope. I don't remember any of that, to tell you the truth. :shrug:

You must have been living under a rock then.

True story. I remember it.

Oh are you and Jason taking pics Saturday?! Just wondering... because I love me some Ryan Secrest

 

[Sledge]

Definitely taking pics. I hope Brooke White and Kelly Pickler are there. :clap:

 

[Beachgurl]

I like Brooke, but I can't stand how fake Kelly Pickler is. She is totally faking the ditz thing because she thinks it makes her look cutesy. Someone should give her an Oscar for her performance.

I'm excited to hopefully see Simon... one of my old man crushes.

I really like David Cook too.

There is nothing "fake" about Kelly Pickler..............

We went out to DHS when I got off work to see if there was any special kind of set up going on for the Idol press events going on tomorrow and there was quite a bit through the park.

They had tents set up all around Echo Lake.

Then there was a platform for I'm assuming all the cameras and press right out in front of the attraction.

There was even a bunch of stuff on Sunset Blvd and even where RnRc is.

Sorry for the crappy quality. My camera basically sucks but I'll be getting my new one soon! :happy:

 

[DisneyFanKevin]

Even though your camera is crappy (as you said lol), I think they're great pictures! Wonder if they're going to do meet and greets!!!

 

[Sledge]

I hope they are doing meet and greets. That was my first reaction to all the tents. However, that is probably more likely for press.

Anyhoo, from the Sentinel...

I'm gonna say 'no' on that one. Everything is closed to the public except for the motorcade.



And don't worry... I'll be getting my 14.7 megapixel G10 reaallll soon. :rockon:

 

[peaches magee]

Nice lineup... but Bucky and Sanjaya... ugh!

I want me some Ace Young and Michael Johns though... helloooo! :

 

[d a n n y]

I like all the tents and stuff. Makes it seem more like a real studio.

 

[Beachgurl]

Jason is there now saving a spot to watch the motorcade. Apparently there is only a very small section reserved for guests, the rest of the space along Hollywood Blvd. is reserved for the media during the motorcade. The area reserved for guests is pretty full already and it doesn't even start until 4:30pm. Hopefully I'm tiny enough to squeeze in in front of Jase to watch!

 

[YETI PINTRADER]

You can watch it live here.
Edit: Sorry but this video is gone because the event is over.
