VOTE for the 1st Pod5 American Idol!!!!!

You can vote once a day!! The cool thing is when you go to the site and you hear us sing the Podsafe song, Zack then tells you to vote and he plays the song with the original artists!! Cool!! I did Until You by Dave Barnes!! Tried not to mess it up!!! :) And I didn't use reverb! Ah well!!! It's my RAW!!! Eek!! Give it a listen even if it's just to hear Dave sing!!! The song IS awesome!!! http://www.pod5idol.com/

Help me with my next album!

Well, I thought that this would be a great idea to help me make my next album. I'm hoping that it will help me with studio time and a computer that I need for the Giga Orchestra software that was given to me as a gift! I have to have a computer that fits the criteria of the software, and it's pretty expensive. If you can help, that would be great! ChipIn does take a bit off the top, so it may take me a while to get the amount I need. Any little bit helps. Everyone who contributes $50 or more will get their name on my album! I honestly don't think I'll raise that much.....especially by October, but I thought it was worth a try to see if fans could help. If not, I understand! I'll just have to wait! :)

The Met Opera goes DIGITAL!

Image
Got this from my classical singer subscription! http://www.metoperafamily.org/emailview/07-08_Eblast/3-2008_Tristan-LiveStream_WEB.html You have to have Real Player, but it's FREE!! I believe I will be listening! It's pretty early PST! I heard that there was a virus going around the Met and a lot of the understudies were having to sing!! Eek!! But I think that everyone is better! I do  know that Domingo had to fill in for someone! (Can ya believe! OMG!! Heck I'd rather HAVE Domingo!!) :) Anywho, just wanted those who love opera to know! And those who just wanna be more....chic!

AFTRA Contracts they DON'T want you to see!!

Image
Here's a link to a watchdog website for union actors! I'm not sure if this guy is going to get in trouble for having the AFTRA contract out for everyone to see!! Eek!! The guy shows where the problems are in the contract!!! WOW!! You read - You decide!! Here's a bit for what he said on the website in reference to certain sections of the contract: If you don’t believe AFTRA’s current leadership doesn’t want you see these contracts, let me exhibit a letter and contract that AFTRA sent me after considerable pressure on my part. It is the “It’s a Laugh Productions, Inc.” agreement between Disney and AFTRA leadership. As, you read it, remember it sacrifices actors livelihood to a company that reported annual revenue of THIRTY FIVE BILLION DOLLARS --a significant amount that Disney credited, in the press, to such highly successful AFTRA cable shows like Hannah Montana and others. You’ll notice the use of intimidation in the letter to persuade me to NOT reveal the contracts cont

XM-Sirius merger approved...well DUH!!

Again I wasn't allowed to digg this!! So here's the article: XM-Sirius merger approved Justice Department gives go-ahead to deal By   WILLIAM TRIPLETT The Dept. of Justice said on Monday it has found no reason to block or oppose the proposed merger between XM and Sirius satellite radio companies. The   Federal Communications Commission   has yet to rule on the deal, but DOJ’s announcement is a huge victory for Sirius topper Mel Karmazin, who in the last year has repeatedly appeared before congressional committees and met with regulators to answer questions and parry critics’ claims that the merger would constitute a monopoly. “After a careful and thorough review of the proposed transaction, the (DOJ antitrust) division concluded that the evidence does not demonstrate that the proposed merger of XM and Sirius is likely to substantially lessen competition, and that the transaction therefore is not likely to harm consumers,” said assistant attorney general Thomas O. Barnett. “We f

I'm a little MIFFED!!

I have a service that I thought was really reliable!! BUT for the past few months I've NOT been getting emails for jobs!! I thought......that's odd, because I usually get a lot of gigs from it!! Soooo, I double checked my email information and in fact changed it and VIOLA I got emails from 3 months ago!! Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! I'm not going to mention the service because I sent an email going...."what the heck!" Maybe it was a glitch, but I'm responding to these as fast as possible..... just hoping these clients don't think I'm a loser for not responding!!!!

AFTRA negotiations!

For some reason I can NEVER digg these!! :( So I wanted to blog and then digg the blog! Which is stupid! I should be able to digg the article! :( http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117982661.html?categoryid=13&cs=1&nid=2563 AFTRA ratifies ABC, CBS contracts Roughly 200 members ink digital deals By DAVE MCNARY Members of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists have ratified two-year contracts with ABC and CBS for their respective network news staffers. The agreements take effect May 16 and cover about 200 on-air journalists at the network divisions of ABC and CBS, including news anchors, correspondents and reporters. "These agreements are a big step forward for broadcast journalists as they improve wages and benefits," said AFTRA president Roberta Reardon in a statement. "Given the state of the broadcast industry and emerging new media platforms in particular, the new agreements with ABC and CBS protect AFTRA members as they work in

Pageant OLD News! 3 years ago was a burning question!

Miss America has been in trouble for years! Two times a certain man has wanted to help. I found this in my email archives from a friend back in March 2005. In fact the time/date stamp by AP at the bottom is: 03/11/05 17:22 EST ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - He's a reality TV star, a billionaire and he knows a thing or two about beautiful women - between the ones he's married and the beauty pageants he already owns. Who better to rescue a damsel in distress than Donald Trump ? Trump has approached the Miss America Organization about buying the famous pageant, which is fighting for survival after being dumped by ABC because of declining ratings. ``I've talked to them, but I have not made an offer,'' said Trump, an owner of the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants. ``It's tough: The networks don't want to put it on, and I'd like to do whatever I can to help them out.'' If he bought Miss America , he would keep it in Atlantic City but make it more watc
