Idol Grapevine…Check out the Latest on the MyIdol Boards

Between the debates on last season, rumors about the upcoming season, “Idol” alumni news, and American Idol hypothetical situations, the MyIdol Message Boards are abuzz with excitement. If you haven’t been on them during the off-season, you’re missing out on the fun! Check out what’s being discussed on the Idol Grapevine below: I didn't watch the first two seasons of the show. I was one of the eye-rollers. But then I got a swing-shift job where my coworkers were addicted. I quickly became hooked, too. When I started watching, my husband rolled his eyes at me. Now he is the one who's got the TiVo already programmed! It's one of those things that you just have to try... kind of like french fries dunked in a Frosty. ~4besi To all those who supported this effort AI received a Governors Award at the Emmy's tonite. The power of TV used for good. ~stellarseeker New recordings by Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler and Sara Evans will be featured on Hear Something Country Christmas, a 14-track holiday CD set for release on Oct. 2.

I didn't hear much about it--I just heard that.

Submitted by luv4llnnt I'm sure they'll be leaning towards a male winner this year since the current stats are: Women - 4 / Men - 2. No offense to Ruben or Taylor, but a nice-looking male singer would be lovely. If, a good-looking male with a strong voice is a contestant, he'll be a shoe-in to win. ~Cobabycmw
