All 7 American Idol winners (and other contestants) together for the first time



- At the A-I Experience preview at Orlando, Fla. on Thursday night, all seven previous winners were in attendance. And that included Kelly Clarkson who in recent days has, shall we say, been very un-American Idol.

- David Cook and Carrie Underwood sang "Go Your Own Way" together.

- Each A-I received a sculpture of the old-fashioned microphone that has become synonymous with Idol.

By now you are probably wondering, or maybe not, what exactly is the "A-I Experience"?

Well, it's a replica of the set - the lights, music and even the Coke cups are there. Everything but Simon's demeanor is in place.

Every day park guests sign up to audition. Make it past a couple of producers and you perform in a mock "Idol" show with an audience of about 1,000 voting. Five shows per day, five winners who then compete that night.

The nightly winner gets a "Dream Ticket." And that stub, not to be confused with a old Disney E ticket, lets the winner jump the line at an actual A-I audition session.

IMPORTANT PEOPLE OF AI.

DOES NOT COMPUTE
[info]cressesgirl 13th-Feb-2009 09:16 am (UTC)
I have watched this show from season one and I can honestly say this is the first season where there is no one who really has that star quality to me. good singers, yes, star quality, no. I'm hoping for a break out soon, though.
[info]glittersecrecy 13th-Feb-2009 11:08 am (UTC)
ia, although the only times i've really rooted for anyone right from the beginning were kelly & jordin.
[info]getbacknow 13th-Feb-2009 03:42 pm (UTC)
yep, i've been watching since episode one of season one and i'm not too excited by anyone, so i am hoping that there's a breakout star. last season it took me a while to warm up to david cook, for example.
[info]black_electron 13th-Feb-2009 09:17 am (UTC)
So basically, if you are a male, and you win American Idol, you are doomed to failure.
[info]glittersecrecy 13th-Feb-2009 11:09 am (UTC)
mmhm. there was an e! true hollywood story about the female winners, and it was noted that all the male winners have been failures.
[info]jointhechoir 13th-Feb-2009 12:31 pm (UTC)
Well, Ruben and Taylor are epic fail, but DC is doing great so far, no everyone gets a Platinum album so fast these days.

[info]forgethissmile 13th-Feb-2009 03:00 pm (UTC)
Cook is doing pretty well. His album sales have been decent. Not on the same level as Kelly Clarkson, but still, no Ruben by FAR.
[info]madeinitalyox 13th-Feb-2009 04:08 pm (UTC)
I know right, Daughtry [sp] didn't win & he did better then all of the males who did win.
[info]bitterzippy 13th-Feb-2009 04:54 pm (UTC)
Jordin Sparks tanked though and David Cook is doing alright.

Now excuse me while I shoot myself for knowing this info.
[info]zoaster_toaster 13th-Feb-2009 09:01 pm (UTC)
David's album just got certified platnium as well as "Time of My Life", and "Light On" has done pretty well on the charts. I wouldn't call that a failure, especially compared to Taylor's and Ruben's lack of careers.
[info]cressesgirl 13th-Feb-2009 09:17 am (UTC)
and why is Jordin Sparks alllll the way to the side?
[info]totes_adorkable 13th-Feb-2009 09:18 am (UTC)

It makes me feel a bit sad that I can't get excited about AI anymore :( I used to love this show.
[info]yoyobrit 13th-Feb-2009 01:04 pm (UTC)
Same.

I knew it was over for me when I realized I was more excited for Dancing with the Stars than AI.
[info]xangie24x 13th-Feb-2009 03:49 pm (UTC)
I get more excited for So You Think You Can Dance than American Idol
[info]forgethissmile 13th-Feb-2009 03:02 pm (UTC)
Same =(

And it makes me sad, because I was all about it last year!
*shrug* maybe it's because they're forcing it down our throat more, like "HERE IS FIFTEEN HOURS WORTH OF AI TO WATCH EACH WEEK AAAGGHH!"
