‘American Idol’ Goes Online

Posted on Thursday September 16, 2010 at 05:01 PM Add |

“American Idol” hopefuls who want a shot on the reality show but don’t want to make the effort to stand in the never-ending audition lines are in luck. For the first time the Fox reality competition is accepting online auditions.

Auditions for the 10th season of “American Idol” are being accepted now through MySpace until Oct. 6.

“All you need is a web cam and an Internet connection,” host Ryan Seacrest told fans in a MySpace video. “And if you have what it takes you could be on your way to singing in front of the judges. Take one minute to change your life by submitting your audition.”

Wannabe singers have no more than 40 seconds to state their name, the title of the song they’ve chosen and sing the tune.

Contestants, who must be between the ages of 15-28, have to choose a song from an approved list. Song options include Frank Sinatra’s “That’s Life,” Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Achy Breaky Heart,” Dashboard Confessional’s “Screaming Infidelities,” Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop,” Madonna’s “Borderline” and Poison’s “Nothing’ But A Good Time.”

Fleetwood Mac- Dreams- I first started listening to Fleetwood Mac in college. My first roommate was a girl named Alison and we got along GREAT! One day I came home and she was listening to this song and from then on I was hooked. I then told my mom that I had begun listening to them like they were a new band. My mom starts belting out Dreams and had to give me a quick history lesson. Favorite Line: Thunder only happens when it's raining...Players only love you when their playing...
There are so many songs that deserve honorable mention. I tend to use music as a soundtrack for my life. These are just a few that I tend to listen to the most. Have a GREAT week!!!!

Fleetwood Mac Rumours Record Handbag Purse

Some days (often Mondays) you want to be in the background. Take Ms. Christine McVie for instance. She was born with the hard-to-live-up-to name of Christine Perfect, taking the name of Fleetwood Mac's John McVie after marrying him and then joining the band. While images of Stevie Nicks would become iconic, McVie would write many of the band's hits. After retiring in the 1990's, she is listed as enjoying her life in Kent "cooking, gardening and socializing in the local pub". Not a bad way to spend a retirement at all, so take inspiration from her today: wear things on the loose side, maybe not tucking in a shirt to feel the slight breezes on this sun-filled balmy day. The weekend was a social cluster****, where you might have seen/heard/smelled everyone you know, so maybe you're a little exhausted. Give yourself a break today and dress to be seen less...somebody else can be Stevie while you relax in the background.

I adore that last McNugget, Viv :D I like being a Christine McVie all the time, I could never be a Stevie Nicks.

From an interview with Sheryl Crow
 

Q. A couple of years ago there was some confusion as to whether you might be joining Fleetwood Mac. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks had somewhat differing views between the two of them of the story. What’s your version of that and even hypothetically would you have done it?

A. The only comment I would make about it, because I know what the truth was - and I know that Lindsey and Stevie differ as do Lindsey and I - I would just say that I’m a huge fan of theirs and I would love to play with them. They don’t need me to join the band. Obviously they are Fleetwood Mac without me. But to actually play with them or to tune their guitars or to adjust Mick’s seat. I’m not beneath dusting a stage where they perform. I love them.

Now read this whacked out version from another newspaper:


Q. A couple of years ago there was a few difficulty as to either you may be fasten Fleetwood Mac. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks had rather incompatible views between the two of them of the story. What’s your chronicle of that and even hypothetically would you have completed it?

A. The only criticism we would make about it, since we know what the fact was – and we know that Lindsey and Stevie deviate as do Lindsey and we – we would only say that I’m a outrageous air blower of theirs and we would admire to fool around with them. They don’t need me to come together the band. Obviously they are Fleetwood Mac without me. But to obviously fool around with them or to melody their guitars or to adjust Mick’s seat. I’m not underneath powdering a theatre where they perform. we admire them.

^I love her comment about Lindsey. I don't like her, but she is being very diplomatic and gracious. Lindsey's statements were driving me crazy after awhile. Normally, I wouldn't want Crow to even touch the hem of his Hanes and I don't care what he said in private, but he was being such a jerk in the press that she would have had my full permission to deck him.

As for the translation, it's hilarious to see foreign advertisements and even street signs based on English that somehow went badly awry.

Quick clip of Mick and Lindsey describing why they recorded Tusk different from the Rumours formula.

I think I have listened to Fleetwood Mac’s classic album so much it is imprinted on me at a molecular level. On Radio 2 on Wednesday night they did this programme about making the album and all the bust-ups and pain going on between the two couples in the band. No wonder Mick Fleetwood ended up so bald (notwithstanding his own divorce).

I thought it would be nice to have a Fleetwood Mac song for a Friday, but it turns out I can’t listen to any one of that album’s songs without hearing another in my head nearly simultaneously. I had it narrowed down to Never Going Back Again or I Don’t Want To Know, but in the end I have gone for the song that jolted me awake from a happy doze the other night, one that I had never heard of.

It’s Stevie Nicks’ Silver Springs. It was meant to be on the Rumours album, but “they” took it off the album and replaced with the more upbeat I Don’t Want To Know. The jocked off Silver Springs is a palpably angry and hurt song wherein she promises to seemingly haunt her erstwhile lover Lindsey Buckingham for the rest of his life. I am not sure how I feel about it actually, it’s a little uncomfortable. I wonder if the cohesive Rumours would have been the same with it on there.

Either way, it’s a brave song and it’s honest. It also fits with the lyrics she wrote on the “other” track “Now you tell me that I’m crazy. That’s nothing that I didn’t know.”

Is there a woman that never got told that by a man I wonder? I certainly have been. More than once. I’ll leave it there otherwise it might end up in a feminist rant and it’s too early for that.

See what Stevie says instead and don’t be fooled by the sweet-sounding docile start.

0ne reply from another reader:

That’s not bad for a jocked off track, is it? I think if it had been on Rumours it would seem to be a part of the tapestry and you’d know it as well as Songbird.

It’s such a key album for our generation because it articulated how your divorce was going to go just as you got started on your first serious rows with with your first serious lover.

Reducing it to One track would always be Dreams for me – it’s a drummer’s band after all and the break-beat just before the chorus is the single most melancholy off-beat pause in pop history.*

There are more than one, but for Lindsey Buckingham only one is key.

Listen to Lindsey speak:

Doesn't this sound fun?
 

MICHAEL Chugg was an up-and-coming 30-year-old music promoter when his employer, Paul Dainty, gave him the gig of looking after the now legendary Fleetwood Mac tour in 1977.
Just as the band’s recently released album, Rumours, raised the bar for pop albums (it would go on to sell 40 million copies), the corresponding tour would similarly set new standards for rock and roll excess, especially in Australia.

“The promoter’s rep will meet the band’s tour manager in the car park of Sydney Airport with two ounces of cocaine,” was one of the first instructions Chugg received from Fleetwood Mac’s management. It set the scene for the rest of the tour, if not Chugg’s ensuing career.

Chugg was not a coke user – not then, anyway – and enlisted a roadie to score for him. The band had a crew of 67 people, which meant that they were able to float from one gig to the next with only their cocaine-fuelled performances to worry about.

Despite the lavish demands the band put on catering – extensive banquets accompanied by French champagne and Courviosier – Mick Fleetwood and his colleagues were never seen consuming food. “All of them were too wired to eat,” Chugg recalls. “The excess was outrageous. There was just too much coke and too much weed.”

Chugg, originally from Tasmania, was soon embracing the lifestyle. “That 1977 tour was the entrée to many wayward nights on the rock’n’roll circuit,” he says. “At its most outrageous, the nights rolled into days and just occasionally the days turned into weeks.”

Early Tusk Tour comments by Stevie to Jim Ladd. But this radio station is pretending Stevie told them what's up, and pretends it is recent. Cute though.
