Comments Off on Ryan Seacrest Tweets Problem With Idol Phone Number: 1-866-IDOLS-13
This story has been circulating the Message Boards over the past few days. Apparently, when you dial in your votes for the newly appointed 13th singer after this evening’s show, you are connected to a non-G rated phone service – if you catch my drift and I am sure you do.

Last night’s show was very strange. The performances were all over the place; however, I stand behind my personal picks of Adam Lambert, Megan Corkrey and Kris Allen. I felt that, based on their individual performances, these three performers demonstrated the greatest potential for success.
