Do you watch American Idol?

If you are an AI fan check out http://www.myspace.com/jimmbo45177 that is my little brother. He just made it in to the top 56. I am so proud that he tried out and so happy for him for making it this far. He has a video of him singing one of his audition songs.

I am a long term AI fan. I wish your brother all the luck in the world. When you click on the above link, you are not taken to his my space site but to a different main sort of page in the site. I am assuming one will have to go to the main My Space page and then type in his ID in people search.

Stupid me misspelled space. I corrected it. Should work now. Thanks.

I don't watch "American Idol" because I just don't watch much TV at all. But I did go to your brother's myspace page. He's a good-looking guy and a great singer too from what I heard there! I was also touched that he named his parents as his heroes. It's not corny or cliched... it's touching and shows a certain caliber that is generally lacking in today's young people your brother's age. Kudos to him!

That's So Cool!

I haven't watched American Idol since the first two seasons but that is very cool.

Keep us posted on his progress...might have to tune in if it gets really exciting. Of course, you would have to give me the schedule...don't watch that much TV either and my stupid cable company just raised my monthly rate to 80.00....but that's another thread.

Great news for your family!

Thank you all. I love this site. Such cool supportive people. Well, I forgot to mention that the other song that plays on his My Space, If.... by Bread, is the song that he last auditioned with. Not that that is him singing, though. Nice variation in songs I think. He originally auditioned in Atlanta so hopefully ya'll can see him on that episode.

He should be on Tuesday, for the Atlanta Auditions. He is leaving Thursday to go back to Hollywood for the 2nd round of Hollywood Auditions. He stays there this time until he is done with the show. I'm so proud.

It was a real bad recording.

Since he asked for constructive criticism...

I am not sure if it was the recording or if he could pronounce a couple of the lyrics a little better because a couple of them sounded slurred together. Not punctuate them more but pronounce them (syllable) better. For example the first (valley low) sounded slurred to me- it sounded like this (vallow). The 2nd time was better.

He has perfect pitch which is great and will do very well in many areas of vocals & competitions.

Just for the record- Hollywood aint all it's cracked up to be- there is life after idol & after they try to turn people into mini gods...

Congrats on getting so far along & Best Wishes!
