AI13 Eligibility Rule Change - Charlie May Audition Again

So another American Idol finale has gone by.  Congratulations Candice!  I believed she was very worthy of the win.   Kree was my early horse but Candice kept showing up with some amazing performances.   I've listen to their singles and I must say I like  Angie's  and Kree's Single .   Candice's Song will have to grown on me.


And now for the good news! 

 According to IdolPad spoilers Charlie can come back and audition again!!  Only the top 11 will not be eligible.   Will he go that route or not is up to him of course but I think he should wait till he finds out who the judges are.   I think a judge who understands rock will  give him a better review of his performances.  I know most have asked him to go to the Voice.  I've watched it this season and I don't know if Charlie would get very far.  It's always a 50% chance that you're going home.  You have to go up against big vocals at every turn so I'm not sure how well Charlie would fair with a one on one singing battle with a vocal diva.  I think Idol was great because we still got to see him  perform several times.  On the Voice you could be out very early.  You're also given a song to sing instead of choosing it yourself.   If the judge doesn't  understand your talent they may direct you the wrong way.    Of course, I would choose any avenue to see Charlie perform again.  He belongs on a stage, period.

Fox 16 - Where are they Now

Fox 16 interviewed Charlie once again on a segment called "Where are they now?".  He  mentions  living in Burbank since New Years day, mainly writing to have an EP done soon.   States that charlieaskew.com as his main website but  it's not up yet.   Has tried to lined up some performances but mainly doing writing.     Again states how he is shy and private but American Idol helped him in this regard.  I think he needs to do other stuff to continue to get him out of his shell.  When the inteviewer mentions his single status he clams up , lol.  Oh dear i think this inteviewer was a bit too high energy for his liking.   He needs to stop saying "I don't know" so much,  but hopefully he cleans that up with more interviews.    I wonder if he will do some club appearances and the like.   I really hope so,  he needs to get out there and perform, a few originals and covers.  Just needs to get better at getting himself promoted.
