Life on the American Idol Tour for Carly and Kristy

American Idol Top 10 are touring the country this summer as part of their obligation and solicitation of fame and fortune in the music industry. But how hard is life on the road of the American Idol Tour? Is it all fun and games, glamor, what it was expected to be? TV Guide caught up with Kristy Lee Cook and Carly Smithson in a recent interview. As a media partner we have permission to give you their interview story below

It’s been barely over a week since the American Idol tour got underway, but life on the road is already presenting its shining moments and its tougher aspects for the top ten singers. Two of the Idols, Kristy Lee Cook and Carly Smithson, talked to TVGuide.com about the mixed bag of hitting the road all summer long.

One of the main challenges so far, each confided, is staying connected to their main squeezes. Kristy Lee, who got engaged during Season 7, said she hasn’t seen her man at all. “I get to see him on the 10th, but I don’t know if he’s going to any of the other shows,” she lamented, adding, “It’s tough. We’ve had a few ‘moments,’ because he doesn’t understand what’s going on, but he’s starting to get the picture when I’m like, ‘I can’t handle this!’ But he’s getting the picture that he needs to be supportive. He’s starting to come around.”

Mixed Idol Review from Las Vegas

The American Idol Tour made it’s stop in Las Vegas as the Thomas & Mack Center this past Saturday.  According to one music review critic, Doug Elfman he pretty much trashed the night but said the fans seemed to love the show.  Isn’t  that what it’s all about?

With comments like “”American Idol” winner David Cook stood there on stage, trying to look cool with his big guitar and a scarf hanging by his belt.
And as fans screamed, Cook opened his rock-guy beard mouth to eke out his first horrible song, which they loved: a cover of Lionel Richie’s “Hello.”

and  “It’s frustrating that “Idol” singers waste good voices resurrecting the past. Cook is a fine mimic. But he didn’t sound fresh with Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” in his mouth, and he certainly couldn’t match Dave Grohl’s growl while covering Foo Fighters’ “My Hero.”"

His review also included snide remarks about Brooke White, Carly Smithson and David Castro.

One Fan that attended the show wrote up a review on MJ’s Blog she loved it:

On David Archuleta for instance she wrote “He then sang a stellar version of Josh Groban’s “When You Say You Love Me”. I have to say that even though I always thought he had a beautiful voice, I found him a bit boring during the show. But, in person? His voice is even better and I enjoyed his set a great deal more than I expected to.”

and about  David Cook she said, “The moment we’ve all been waiting for… especially me. The American Idol himself, David Cook, takes the stage in a dramatic fashion singing his gorgeous version of Lionel Richie’s “Hello”. His voice is even better in person and the guy just oozes stage presence and charisma all over the place. His next song is Magic Rainbows… er, I mean “Time of My Life”.”

As with any critic you take from it what you want, obviously Doug Elfman was not happy with the assignment to cover the idols, and it showed in his review. The Fans loved the show, so that’s all that is important!

If you attended any show and want to write a brief review send it to me at  idol  at idol-mania.com and I will feature it here on the site.
