As most of you know, the American Idols Live tour finally kicks off this Friday, July 6, in Sunrise, FL. For the next 2 1/2 months, the top 10 contestants will travel around the country in one of the summer’s biggest tours, and five of your very own readers, posters, and/or admins will be there firsthand at the second stop of the tour in Tampa, FL this Saturday night. Yes, we are just slightly excited. In addition to those of us going on Saturday night, all of the admins here at Team Plaid are going to at least one tour stop, and we’ll do our best to report on all the details from the stops that we attend.

However, we obviously cannot cover 50+ tour stops alone, so here’s where you come in. We want your recaps!!! We know that there are lots of you out there who are going to a stop of the tour this summer, and we want to hear how your concert went! We know that you are fabulous writers, photographers, and videographers, and we’d love to put up the details of your Disney on Ice AI tour experience. We will open a blog post for each concert, so please feel free to post your recaps there. Or, simply email us at teamplaid@gmail.com with pics, links to photobucket accounts, and… recaps! Sure, the songs at each concert will be the same, but there are always fun little details that differ from city to city, and we love to know this stuff! And we especially want to know if you were lucky enough to score Meet and Greets and got to meet the Idols, or if you were just patient enough to wait by the busses for a quick hug, picture, and autograph!

Please use this space to find others who are going to your same tour stop. Feel free to post which city you plan to go to, but please DO NOT post detailed information about where you are sitting or eating beforehand, etc. If you would like to contact someone about meeting up at a specific concert, and you do not already have their contact info, please email us at teamplaid@gmail.com, and we’ll be happy to get y’all hooked up. But please, for your own safety, do not post your email address or any detailed information here.

Thanks to you all! Here’s to a summer of fun tour info!!

The Blake Effect

Bean99 mentioned yesterday that Tim McGraw’s version of “When The Stars Go Blue” had climbed to number 30 on iTunes Top 100 song list. I decided to do some comparison shopping. Here’s how the songs the Idols sang on country night stack up on the iTunes Top 100 today.

In order of appearance:

Phil Stacey - “Where the Blacktop Ends” by Keith Urban - not charting on the iTunes Top 100.

Jordin Sparks- “A Broken Wing” by Martina McBride - charting at 66 on the iTunes Top 100.

Sanjaya Malakar- “Something to Talk About” by Bonnie Raitt - not charting on the iTunes Top 100.

Lakisha Jones- “Jesus Take the Wheel” by Carrie Underwood - charting at 84 on the iTunes Top 100.

Chris Richardson- “Mayberry” by Rascal Flatts - not charting on the iTunes Top 100.

Melinda Doolittle - “Trouble is a Woman” by Julie Reeves - not charting on the iTunes Top 100.

Blake Lewis - “When the Stars Go Blue” by Tim McGraw - charting at 22 on the iTunes Top 100.

Go Blake! Too bad the original version by Ryan Adams wasn’t mentioned on AI. I’d prefer it to receive the boost in sales from Blake’s performance Tuesday night. If you don’t have it, rush on over to iTunes and download it now.

Oh, and don’t forget to buy Blake’s studio version from the official AI site. It is love.

Note: I didn’t check the iTunes Country 100. Could be that some of these songs are charting there.

Blake is Safe!

Blake landed in the bottom three last night with Lakisha Jones and Sanjaya Malakar, but was the first one sent from the seal to the couch.

Lakisha and Sanjaya shared the bottom two, with Sanjaya being sent home. Let’s hope the press isn’t too harsh on him in his upcoming interviews. I don’t understand all the Sanjaya hate. He’s just a kid on a reality television show. Remember what Diana Ross said, “Sanjaya is Love.”

Note to producers: change the age requirements to 18-30, mmm kay?

Back to Blake, last night he delivered one of the most touching moments of this season when he wiped away Lakisha’s tears. Aww, could headstrong, bad boy Blake have a sensitive side?

Special thanks to Jenlar for the excellent screen caps.

ETA: I just found this new screen cap from the Ford Music Video. No, I don’t believe the video forecasted the evening’s bottom three. After all, it’s filmed prior to the live performance show. I just think Blake looks good in the trench.

The UK broadcast of American Idol features some slightly different content.  Check out Blake’s backstage interview with Cat Deeley from last week.

The Top 8 Idols also discussed the biggest misconceptions written about them in the press.  Check out Blake’s response at the end of the video. Flirty Blake!!!
