tour update

Forgot to mention last night that tickets for American Idols Live will go on sale May 19. Get more info here. For all you Georgia readers, it looks like the sole Georgia stop is at The Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth on Sept. 12. The tour will stop at BJCC Arena in Birmingham on July 12.

Remember that the tour consists of the top 10 finalists -- this season, that means everyone except Brandon Rodgers and Stephanie Edwards.

I've never been to one of these shows, but kinda have an urge to go. Not because of the vocals -- you're basically paying a ton of money to see mediocre karaoke -- but I've always wanted to know firsthand if the singers sound differently in person. While I've had a stronger connection to contestants in past seasons (two words: Chris Daughtry), following everyone so closely via this season's blog makes me more inclined to watch their future careers (or lack thereof).

Plus...who DOESN'T want to hear Sanjaya sing live? Don't answer that.

So hit the show if you can, and tell me all about it.
