I'm prepared to be in the bottom 3 again tonight. But I'm not giving up. Kimberley Locke did it, hung in, and I can do it to. Girl, I didn't mean to steal your straight hair, but you know what bullies the stylists can be ;) It's taking some getting used to, but I think I like it. It's something different, anyway ( Read more... )

They'll be cheering for everyone, but still. Mila Kunis, John Rhys-Davies, and Jack Nicholson will be coming to the show tonight, and visiting me in the green room afterwards. Jack even made a sign for me! It feels good to have real live fans who aren't my family. I feel a lot less nervous now. Thanks, you guys.

I have some tickets (and limited-access backstage passes) for tomorrow night's show if anyone's in LA and would like to come and support me. After my almost-fatal showing last week, I sure would appreciate it, and it would be great to meet some of you in person. A quick hello after is all they allow us, but still, it would be fun. Just let me know ( Read more... )

I say "Sequestered Mansion" because they have us Finalists (plus a parent and a tutor for each of the contestants who is under 18, plus one of the show's producers, plus some other assorted chaperones) living in this big gorgeous mansion in LA, and our every movement is supervised. We can't talk to the media, except for sanctioned appearances and ( Read more... )

I'm safe this week. Barely. I got the second fewest votes of the 12. I thought I might be in the bottom three, but I didn't think I'd be next to last! I don't feel as good about doing my best and staying true to myself as I did after my performance last night. Part of me is screaming, "I'll sell out! I'll wear boring clothes! I'll sing exactly how ( Read more... )

I'm really happy with my performance last night. I took the advice of people like Jack, Valo, and Caldwell and made my own decisions. Everyone has their opinion about what you should sing, how you should sing, what you should wear, what should be in your taped bits, all that stuff. No matter what you do, some people will like it, some people won't ( Read more... )

If you ask them, they will come, apparently. Derek Jeter and Curt Schilling are here! I'm so jazzed.

Gotta get back to rehearsal; only 2 hours till show time! This makes me extra happy tho, ready to sing extra extra good.

I finally got a chance to watch some baseball today. It's so relaxing! (well, most of the time, until an umpire makes a bad call or someone makes a bad play or the manager makes a bad move, but this is still Spring Training, so not a big deal) Today the ChiSox beat the Giants, and the game was on WGN. I think it is sooooo awesome that WGN is ( Read more... )

I'm on AIM now. Idol Jennifer I'm so arrogant, haha.

Kimberley Locke was on The Wayne Brady Show earlier today, and sang 8th World Wonder. Looked & sounded marvelous, of course!
