interview

Everybody always wonders if "American Idol" contestants REALLY get to choose their own songs or if the producers do it for them.  Joshua Ledet lets us in on the secret.  And he also shares which week intimidated him the most so far.

As long as Joshua Ledet survives tonight’s round of voting on “American Idol,” he’ll be coming home on Saturday to a hero’s welcome!  He’ll be in our studios during the 9 a.m. hour that morning for an exclusive interview, and we know we’ve got a ton of questions to ask him.  And we figure you do, too.

As we reported yesterday, there’s a better-than-even chance that ‘American Idol‘ star Joshua Ledet will be returning to town on Saturday like the conquering hero he’s become.  First, he’s here in our studios, then a parade, then a live performance at Burton Coliseum.

He’s hit the big time, baby, and he’s bringing it all back home if he makes it through one more week. American Idol favorite Joshua Ledet will be live in our studios this Saturday morning, May 12, during the 8 a.m. hour and there will be a parade in his honor and live concert at Burton Colliseum that same afternoon, but only if you get him through one more round.

Perhaps as much as any country artist, Kellie Pickler shares the details of her oft-tortured personal life with her fans and critics. On previous albums, she sang about her mother (‘I Wonder’) and an ex-boyfriend (‘Best Days of Your Life’). Unlike, say Taylor Swift, Pickler isn’t afraid to name names, but for the most part that’s because the “names” are related to her.

Indianapolis Colt Joseph Addai knows a bit about national championships, having played for LSU when they won theirs in 2003. All these years later, he gets to watch as his alma mater once again plays for the top title in the land. I interviewed him before that game in 2003 and again recently. What's it like to be on both sides of the sideline?
