Scotty called me earlier this afternoon to chat about his birthday weekend (he’s legal now!), what he’ll be thinking about on the Opry stage tonight & more …
… hear the full conversation here (click to listen):
American Idol Top 13 Perform Tonight!
Tonight’s theme is “My Personal Idol” and more than one person is thinking country …
With songs from artists like Diana Ross, Celine Dion & Paul McCartney, we’ll also see country love from:
* Lauren Alaina – Shania Twain’s Any Man of Mine
* Haley Reinhart – LeAnn Rimes’ Blue
* Scotty McCreery – Garth Brook’s The River
American Idol Top 5 – The Women!

Second night of Idol cutting down to the Top 12, but the women just didn’t “bring it” …
Overall, only a few stars and a lot of mediocre performances … where’s Simon when we really need him?
Jill & I think the Top 5 men will be:
* Lauren A
* Pia
* Thia
* Kendra
* Julie
Bubble contestants for the wild card? Ashthon & Ta-Tynisa (because she was SUCH a judge favorite).
What’s your line-up?
Last night’s American Idol – the Top 5 Men!

It seems that last night’s Idol was pretty clear cut, or was it?
Enjoyable performances, a few rockstars, and more than a few “I’m just not feelin’ it” quotes from Randy.
Jill & I think the Top 5 men will be:
* Casey
* James
* Paul
* Jacob
* Scotty
That said, although I’m a HUGE fan of the John Michael Montgomery song “Letters from Home”, I thought Scotty’s performance was in-tune at best, horribly cheesy at its worst.
Bubble contestants for the wild card? Brett & Robbie.
What’s your lineup?
It’s a tough decision – American Idol or the Chicago Bulls

On My Mind...
- @dealestate that home sale you just tweeted, was purchased with $1.2million CASH? Seriously?
- @TrishBiondo I had a dream you were live tweeting #SB46 last night. Then again, I had 1200 tweets pop in between 7-10:30p (!), so maybe not
- Most people drink beer on Super Bowl Sunday. Jill just wants a chocolate malt #thatisheraddiction #beerme #cheerstoyou
