Can Amanda come, too? Please?!
The inevitable "American Idols LIVE" touring nightmare returns to Tampa Bay on Aug. 21. That's right, such former household names as Chikezie (who?) and Ramiele Malubay (what?) will be turning the St. Pete Times Forum into a blazing inferno of mediocrity. Tickets go on sale this Saturday (GO HERE). Prices range from $36.75 for the cheap seats to $65.75 for a close-up of Brooke White's feet.
Yes, I will be reviewing it. And yes, I will be surly and unapproachable. Unless, of course, they allow my dear Amanda Overmyer-Daly, who failed to make the Top 10, to travel with the show. She's dirty. She's nasty. She's all mine.
As for tonight's Idol to-do, I'll be back in a bit to chat you up...
Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
Sean, just when I think my adoration for you is boundless you go and put that skeezy picture on your blog. ::sigh::

You keep getting stuck going to shows that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I am so sorry Sean.

Ferg's! Excellent -- can't think of a better beer-soaked floor on which to pass out. Plus -- great wings.

What is Davey going to do without Daddy Dearest around this week? Does he tank it because his coach got the Bobby Valentine bums rush? Is Daddy A, going to be in the audience in a wig, glasses and a ballcap trying to hide from the cameras?
All these questions will be answered on As the Idol Turns...
