The Season 9 American Idol tour has been cut short by two weeks due to poor ticket sales. It is an industry-wide problem that has now affected the highest rated show on TV.

Yup. I got a call from TicketBastard yesterday saying that the Idol Tour show here in Sept was just axed and that I'd be getting a full refund on my ticket. Shitty... was looking forward to it.

What's funny, is that the reason they cited was "scheduling problems".... OH IS THAT SO!?

Yeah, I have tickets for the Charlotte, NC show later this month and I'm hoping it doesn't get cancelled. No word so far.

That sucks! The contestants were not the best but still it sucks that they got axed early. I really wanted to see if I could make it, there were a few of them that I really wanted to see.

The last show was originally supposed to be here in Pittsburgh at our new arena, but it got changed to this week at our 400 seat plus a lawn that seats around 5-8000 people, so yea not a good economic time.

Simon Fuller is giving thought to change the label they will be working with for next season.

I saw the Idols Live show last night in Charlotte NC and it was lots of fun. The venue was outdoors so it was almost unbearable with temps near 100 but everyone still enjoyed themselves, including the Idols. The best ones were Sioban Magnus, Casey James, Crystal Bowersox (her voice was amazing!!) and Lee Dewyze. I still don't get how Lee won over Crystal cuz her voice is far superior to everyone else.

David Bendeth (Breaking Benjamin, Paramore) will be producing Crystal Bowersox's debut.

In Idol judge musical chairs news: Ellen is out and Jennifer Lopez is in.

Interesting. I really like J.Lo, might watch early on to see what she brings to the table.
