ready for action?

Unfortunately, you'll have to wait another day.

Tuesday's "Idol" will feature mentor Dolly Parton and presumably some kind of country theme. The show starts at 8 p.m. on Fox.

Here are some links to keep you busy in the meantime:

*An anonymous "Junior Star Search" exec confirms the stage dad rumors about David Archuleta's dad in this New York Post article.

*Is it bad that "unique" contestant David Cook is being praised for simply performing covers of covers? Entertainment Weekly tackles that question here.

*On that note...if you haven't heard, in performing "Billie Jean" last week, Cook used Chris Cornell's version of the Michael Jackson song. Here's what Cornell told Billboard about the performance:

"Don't get me wrong. He sang it great. But it was literally a note-for-note take on what I came up with. At the end of the day, it's all good. It's a good thing for me. There was a moment when I was sitting there writing this new arrangement thinking, 'Is this a good idea or a bad idea?' Watching the response from the judges was really gratifying. They were signing off on it right there. It was something that worked. It was an idea that went over huge. When I play it live on tour, it brings the house down every time."

Here's the full story.

There is no doubting David Cook's talent as a singer, but it really makes the judges look like fools when they start praising his uniqueness, then the next day it comes out that he copied somebody else's cover of the MJ original.

BTW, I remember the same controversy around Chris Daughtry when he sang a modernized cover of Johnny Cash's "Walk the Line" only to find out that he copied it as well. I don't think that hurt Daughtry much, so I think Cook will be ok.

As far as Dolly Parton goes, I just hope they don't have to sing Dolly songs, hopefully they will get to choose any country song. If they have to choose Dolly songs, it might be a long night, because so many of her songs are dated and associated with her very unique voice.

I agree with Scott's comment about the contestants singing Dolly songs. I don't even want to hear them try. It's like doing Whitney... well not really. But kind of.

lisa mc said...

I really don't want to hear them butcher Dolly Parton songs. No one can sing Dolly EXCEPT Dolly. I hope it's just a country theme. That would give everyone a chance.

So basically I agree with what everyone else said.

Whoa that's funny about David Cooke's cover cover. And he nodded his head and humbly accepted the judges' praise for being so "original" and "gutsy" and "creative." man they looked stupid.

If you’re like me when you first saw the term “arbitrage sports betting” you just said, “huh?” You may even be reading this article because you were wondering. It is a relatively little method that can actually allow you to make money no matter who wins or loses. Kind of like heads I win, tails I win!

Still, there are tons of bettors looking through rose colored glasses for the holy grail of betting systems that will let them make money without risking any. Well, there is a way to do that and it is called work! Gambling is called gambling for a reason, it’s risky. Let’s take a look at some sports betting systems.

Overall, the majority of people feel that the United States is missing the boat on this matter. Instead of simply regulating the industry like the rest of the countries in the world, they are trying to get rid of it altogether. This may have some benefits, but for the most part there is a chance that it could end up back firing. It will be interesting to see what the Senate decides to do in the upcoming months.

The important thing to note here is that neither of the above approaches is "systemised", although those in the first group believe that they are limiting losses while increasing their winning chances. But what the majority in that first group generally do not take proper account of is how the Bookies have fixed the odds to ensure that they, the Bookies, will come out on top in the long run. What this means is that if you only bet on "favourites" you will eventually lose all your money, although it is true that you will enjoy a much longer period of betting before you kiss your last buck goodbye!

The company delivers a solitary [url=http://nhommuadeal.com/thoi-trang.html]mua hang gia re online[/url] per doing work working day in each and every of the markets it serves. The Groupon operates as an assurance deal utilizing ThePoint's platform: if a certain quantity of people signal up for the provide, then the offer turns into offered to all if the predetermined the very least is not reached, no a single receives the deal that day. This lowers chance for retailers, who can offer with the low cost discount codes as quantity price reduction prices as effectively as earnings advertising devices. Groupon makes income by keeping approximately 50 % the money the client pays for the coupon.

For illustration, an $eighty therapeutic massage could be received by the client for $forty by way of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would break up the $40. That is, the retailer gives a therapeutic massage valued at $eighty and will get approximately $twenty from Groupon for it (below a fifty%/50% split up). Or, if $240 nicely well worth of residence portray solutions is acquired by the client for $fifty via Groupon, then the enterprise will get $20 five and Groupon retains $20 5. The consumer gets the therapeutic massage, or the residence painting support, in these examples, from the retailer for which they initially compensated $forty (or $50) to Groupon. There are specified organizations to which Groupon to begin with did not source its suppliers, like using photographs ranges and strip golf equipment nonetheless, capturing ranges have been highlighted on Groupon.

Not like categorised advertising, the services service provider does not spend out any upfront expense to consider element: Groupon collects person information from inclined customers and then contacts only individuals buyers, mainly by working day-to-working day digital mail, who could perhaps be intrigued in a specific item or supplier.

Groupon employs a enormous quantity of copywriters who draft descriptions for the provides highlighted by e mail and on the net web site. Groupon's marketing textual content material for the 'deals' has been witnessed as a contributing factor to the acceptance of the world wide web web site, showcasing a exclusive blend of extensive easy truth-examining and witty humor.

Owing to Groupon's marketplace getting mostly composed of woman consumers, the provides are normally qualified on the health, health and attractiveness markets.

There are possible difficulties with the enterprise merchandise. For case in stage, a profitable deal could briefly swamp a modest organization with also quite a few buyers, risking a likelihood that customers will be dissatisfied, or that there won't be sufficient remedy to meet up with the demand from clients. Hole, a huge garments retailer, was all set to offer with 445,000 price cut codes in a countrywide offer (regardless of the reality that it seasoned server difficulties at one particular stage), but a more compact company could switch out to be all of a unexpected flooded with clients. A solitary espresso shop in Portland, Oregon struggled with an increase in clientele for three months, when it marketed shut to one,000 Groupons on the a one day it was supplied, according to 1 report. In reaction to associated problems, Groupon officials problem that 'deal' subscriptions must be capped in progress to a reasonable amount.
