If you tuned in last night -- and before the overnight ratings are even announced, I'm thinking that a lot of you did (taping
Lost, like I did) -- you know now that we are down to the
American Idol Top 10. These are the ten who will be touring the country doing
American Idol concerts later this year and one of these contestants will be the next big
AI winner. The next Kelly or Carrie or Clay (oh, wait, he didn't win).
So, who has the best chance and what does he or she have to do to get to the winner's circle? I've a prescription for each one of them -- free, unsolicited advice based on how the judges' view them and, more importantly, how the American public might be rating them.

Got a musically-gifted child under the age of 10? Hankering to live out your own failed musical aspirations through your little prodigy like a good stage mom or dad? Well,
Harmonie Network is giving you that chance.
Detroit-area producers are working on a reality television program called
Finding Julian's Band. The Julian in question is
Julian Pavone, the world's youngest drummer. How young? He was born in 2004. Called the "Tiger Woods of the Music Industry," Pavone has made a handful of TV appearances, played the House of Blues and released his own CD.
To have your rockin' tot considered, you'll need to send video footage of junior in action to the show's executive producers. Details are available at the
Harmonie Network website.
