Bling Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - President Bush is about to come face-to-face with the one man who has his voting record beat. Bush plans to host "American Idol" Taylor Hicks and the other Top 10 finalists next Friday in the Oval Office. It will be the first time contestants from the hit television show have been invited to meet the president.Hicks won the most recent season's contest May 24 after 63 million votes were cast for him in the season finale. That's more than the 59 million that Bush got in 2004, a record in any U.S. presidential election. Although, to be fair, voters can cast more than one ballot on "American Idol."The White House announced the Idols' upcoming visit Friday as Bush traveled to Colorado for a Republican fundraiser.The meeting is scheduled for July 28, when the performers were scheduled to be in Washington for their "American Idols Live" show at the Verizon Center. Hicks has a personal connection inside the White House: Susan Whitson, Laura Bush's press secretary, taught him 9th grade English at Hoover High School in Birmingham, Ala.The finalists will get a tour of the White House before their audience with the president. It was unclear if runner-up Katharine McPhee would be among the group since she missed recent tour stops due to bronchitis and laryngitishttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060721/ap_en_tv/bush_american_idol------------------------------------------------------------------man im gonna be sooooooooooo pissed if katherine isnt better by august 5th for the tour date here in ft lauderdale > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan2772 Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 american idol is the cherry on top of what is wrong with american culturei don't understand why people resent this show so much, and make ignorant comments like this...and have others who agree! dude this show gives a chance to anyone in this country to give their dream a shot. what the hell is so wrong with that? it gives anyone an opportunity. i'm not a huge fan of it, but for you to say something like this is really really stupid. there are PLENTY of other things that are wrong with our culture.

Guest Davenavarro10 Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 Dude the show is probably rigged. And besides that they just like to exploit people. Do you really think someone like William Hung would be taken seriously if he were to go to a record company and hand them his demo? Of course not, he has no talent whatsoever. The only reason he was ever shown on television was for ratings, and in order to make the viewers laugh. I think it's horrible. Laughing at a poor guy who probably doesn't even realize he's being ridiculed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pod Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 I think he does. If anything he's paid for his college education with his 15 minutes of fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
