SHOCKER!!-- American Idol Tour releases hell on earth. Shaky performances dot Idols' kickoff
Review By Dan Nailen The Salt Lake Tribune "American Idol" might be the most-watched televsion show of the year, not to mention one of the most successful marketing tools in recent memory, but it is apparently no match for the brutal summer concert slump happening across the nation. With even tried-and-true acts with decades of hits and history behind them struggling this summer, it should be no surprise that the latest edition of the "American Idols Live!" tour, featuring 10 of the talent show's finalists, would have a rough time getting people to plunk upward of $50 for a ticket. Wednesday, the Delta Center was at least three-quarters shy of its near - 20,000 capacity for the opening night of the Idols' planned 49-city jaunt. Maybe the fans missed Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard, the stars of last year's tour. Maybe it was because there were no Utahns among the finalists, like bountiful's Carmen Rasmusen in 2003. The Prince homage opening the second set was dicey at best, with the group covering seven of his songs in short order. The duet between George Huff and Jennifer Hudson on "Nothing Compares 2 U" was strong, but the group's collective rendition of "When Doves Cry" turned Prince's classic song of psychosexual obsession into something that would make a nice soda commerical.        you look better on your facebook page than you do in person  | |

Scary. I can see Jennifer and George's duet being serviceable (maybe even good), but the rest of it sounds downright frightening. Come on...When Doves Cry? Some songs should really be left alone! | |
