they recorded in a studio about 4-5 weeks ago, probably recorded the same song with the top5.
i'm sure they shipped some promo's to all the stations, quick to do..

build some hype for the release later

is this the same song that will be on when the official single release date is.

a.k.a EJ The Dog Faced Boy! Every time they showed him last night I had this uncontrollable urge to bark at the TV >

Everybody sing:

"I can't spare a moment for the dog faced boy
I won't lend another hand to the worm girl of Hanoi
Don't deplete my oxygen for the guy who's turning blue
But ask me, and I'll do anything for you"

Y'all are so mean!!!!! Besides, he looks more like Wanda from In Living Color (Jamie Fox's Tragic BUTT UGLY female character)

The local radio station played Kelly's song this morning - the studio version, not the live version. I watched her on Today and Regis and Kelly.

On Today, Katie Couric said that Ryan Starr kind of frightened her a bit with the way she looked!

I just heard there was some concern over the 800 number call processing in the State of Texas! Apparently a significant number of Justin's call-in votes from the Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio areas were not recorded! In fact, it is alleged that the 800 number translation for the -01 voting option was output to the -02 option, and Kelly got all of Justin's votes from the 3 Texas metropolis'!!!

Word is, a hastily scheduled 3-hour show will air next Tuesday at 7PM on FOX, and there will be a recount!!!!

(especially texas, kelly's home state)..

A bunch of teeny-boppers ended up voting for Pat Buchanan as their American Idol!

just wanna state that Nikki is still a MILF to me

Damn those hanging chad calls!

Doesn't MILF stand for "mother I'd like to f***?"

GuessWho - you're not that young, are you?

Yeah, Nikki has a 4-year old son named Tristan (obviously named after Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall)

BTW, I'm 28, she's 23. That's do-able.

Seems like Nikki is getting the most dirt dug up on her by the gossip hounds:

Flick Flack
She came. She sang. She nearly conquered--but it was not to be. As you all know, unless you're stuck waiting for Ryan Seacrest's hairdresser to do your tips, Nikki McKibbin finally got the boot from the lung-busting, tear-jerking Fox show American Idol.

Now what? Fresh from her third-place finish out of thousands, as curmudgeonly judge Simon Powell so eloquently pointed out, Nikki is still surviving on her 14.3 minutes of fame. But who's counting? Certainly not moi.

And there she was, standing outside the impossibly happening Standard hotel on the Sunset Strip in Hell-Ay. With N.K. was her young son, Tristen. Suited up in her usual studded 'n' bejeweled rocker-esque garb, Nikki dragged deeply on the cig that dangled between her freshly polished nails.

But the gutsy gal's smoke break was soon interrupted by some giddy Nikki-ites who approached and eagerly asked for autographs and photos. Thrilled to her Texan bones, N.M. happily grinned and accommodated.

But what to do with that unsightly cigarette? No prob. According to (smoke-in-their-eyes) witnesses, Mama N. turned to her four-year-old and said, "Here, honey, hold Mommy's cigarette while she signs autographs for her fans."

I kid you not.

Oh my. Looks like Nikki's in need of a flacker (or two) to handle that dirty work. However, before we get too harsh on Ms. M., let's check in on those burning competitors of hers. Ready to take a whiff?

Nikki's Topless Past!

August 30, 2002
As one of the finalists on "American Idol," NIKKI McKIBBIN may have taken a few hits on how well she sang those high notes -- but no one was knocking the foxy gal's sex appeal! So where did the "Idol" wannabe learn those come-hither moves? Apparently Nikki had some practice -- working at Frank's Wildlife Gentleman's Club -- back in Fort Worth,Texas!

ET's BOB GOEN caught up with the sultry TV temptress -- who admitted she did do her time as one of Frank's foxy ladies! "I was having trouble finding a job," Nikki revealed. "It was in the middle of summer. I was having trouble taking care of my son, so I did what I had to do to take care of him. I am not ashamed at all."

The 23-year-old aspiring singer apparently had a unique topless act, as she sang for the crowd and stripped down to her skivvies. ET visited her old "stripping" grounds, and talked with some of her former co-workers, who have been following the competition. The scantily clad ladies all agreed that Nikki should have made it to the final two. ("She shouldn't have been eliminated!") They also all felt that Nikki would definitely "become a big star" some day soon!

Club owner FRANK CASPERSEN recalled Nikki as "a little wild child, but she worked to pay her bills. She was a class act." He also told ET that Nikki would sing and dance, taking the remote microphone to the "floor" where she would serenade the customers: "Everybody loved that."

For more on Nikki and the other "American Idols" -- watch tonight's ET!

Hmm...all the more likely she'll end up in a Playboy spread one day.
