http://www.broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=10218 In a nutshell, watch ET tonight at 7. Tracy will be revealed. Kinda glad that's over. Still... sigh.

I ran into someone who knows someone who knows someone and, from what they said, my name got bandied about a bit. Apparently, they found me too tall (as well as too old). Well... They said 5'3 or under. I'm 5'2. Thought I was in the clear. But he said they really want someone 5'0 or shorter. So all you over Fives, take heart. I mean, it's not like you can shrink.

Okay, I can't let this thing about Mandisa being homophobic slide. Take this as from an expert as I was top 44 this season and roomed with Mandisa for a time. Mandisa is a very religious girl, but that does not translate into homophobia.

He was a bit mean in Denver, but really warmed up after my "Bat Out of Hell" rendition in Hollywood. He was much nicer after that. When I was cut, all the judges were very complimentary (You're great, but...) If I'd got top 24, however, I know Simon would have had a few dinner theater comments reserved just for me. He can be harsh, ...

Hi! New to this board. I'm a fellow auditioner on pins and needles and waiting for closure. My long and involved story: Well... I was on this season's American Idol. I got cut at top 44, but got some exposure (some of it humiliating, though). Anyway, I got a call from somebody from firefly about auditioning for Tracy. I live near LA, so they told me to come up and audition at their office. I'd sent in a headshot to the Broadway cast, but figured they got my info from there. I only just learne...
