Tickets for the 2008 installment of the
American Idols Live! Tour went on sale this past weekend, with second
shows quickly added in four cities. The 50-plus date tour kicks off July 1
in Glendale, AZ and finishes up in Tulsa, OK on September 13.
A second
date was added to the E-Center in West Valley City, UT for July 15 after the
first show on July 14 sold out in 20 minutes. Second shows have also been
added at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ (July 31), Nassau Coliseum in
Uniondale, NY (August 5), and the Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO (August
30)
Over-used metaphors aside,
last night’s final performance episode of American Idol left me
thinking the Idol title could go to either David. If you were to go
by the judges reactions last night, Archuleta has it in the bag but as a
Cook fan, I’m holding on to hope that he could end up leaving tonight’s
finale a winner. I don’t have anything against Archuleta. I guess I just
fail to see the pop-star in him just yet. Perhaps if he were a bit older I
might feel differently but he comes off as a bit too pageanty for my taste.
One thing’s for sure; both contestants are talented and deserve to be up on
that stage tonight. I’m going to be covering the two-hour event as it airs
live so stick around or check back in and feel free to share your own
thoughts on the finale in our comments section below. America has now Voted
and David Cook is your new American Idol. Come see the whole gang perform
