3/27: Talk with Constantine
By: Rodney Ho | March 27, 2007, 1:00PM EST
 CREDIT: Brett Mallard off Constantine’s myspace page
Constantine Maroulis, the season four finalist who never met a camera he didn’t want to caress, has nabbed a role on the soap “The Bold and the Beautiful” this summer for 13 weeks — playing an exaggerated version of himself. “He will be a more established pop star/producer/label owner. He will discover this girl Phoebe and want to make her a big star. He will get caught up in a love triangle.”
He was calling on behalf of Yahoo! He does an online TV show each week about the “Buzz” trends based on Yahoo searches on Idol.
“Idol has been very good to me and I love talking about the show,” he said. “To be a significant player in the history of the show means a lot to me.”
He calls this year’s crew “pretty lackluster” compared to seasons four and five, especially the guys. Who he thinks is going to win is the same as Nigel: Jordin Sparks. “She’s the most talented, the most diverse, the most powerful,” he said. “She’s cute and marketable. I bet she’ll have the most successful recording career.”
He thinks Sanjaya has a couple more weeks left in him. And he believes Blake is doing well out of default among the guys and Chris Sligh “has fallen off the map.”
Talking from his apartment in New York City, he was very personable and it certainly helped that we were talking about him.
And naturally, he’s working on a self-titled album, which he will release independently this June with Sony as his distributor. It will be rock-pop, radio songs with hooks. “This is the new age of the independent sector in music,” he ntoed. “I think everyone has a chance to become their own Clive Davis.”
He said he’s grown up with an entrepreneurship mentality, cutting lawns and shoveling snow. “You have to be your own business, create your own brand,” he noted.
The soap opera will play some of his songs. He will consider it great marketing.
Maroulis admits his career hasn’t skyrocketed since “Idol” but he feels he’s done some good quality work, including “The Wedding Singer” on Broadway. He was disappointed he couldn’t turn a sitcom idea with ABC and Kelsey Grammer into an actual show.

Connie should be entertaining on a soap...he'll get to be as hammy as he can be, and he's good at that, lol.... too bad i don't watch (not home) soaps anymore... may have to tape some this summer just to see how he does... or perhaps YouTube or something might have clips....

Constantine on the Bold and the Beautiful.?? For those who don't know, Phoebe is one of Taylor and Ridge's twin daughters. I guess he will be dating her. I will root for him to do well.

Constantine seems to be full of himself! A soap opera is the best place for a cheesy ham. LOL

But at least Connie is entertaining!!! unlike so many others who are so full of themselves that there's no room for ANYthing else, including talent, lol. He was never the BEST, but he was FUN!

I'll have to tune in I suppose. I'm sitting here all day anyway. I used to watch Bold & Beautiful, so it prolly won't take long to catch up. I think Bridget had just been born. She is prolly grown with kids of her own by now, and that was only a couple years ago :-D

As far as soap operas go, I had watched All my Children every day since it came on, and Erica never had one baby. Suddenly she has all these secret children. What's up with that? I'm confuzzled again!

I watched General Hospital (the Luke n' Laura days), Another World (i think that's the one) and Days of our Lives, when i could...i used to watch one day a month or so, and call momma during commercials to catch up on the histories ... she used to laugh at me! my own momma! sheesh!

Posted by: Carla on March 27, 2007 3:30PM EST
I still watch Days everyday. Can't miss a day!

Gawd Carla...you could catch me up (mom passed away 2 years ago this summer, I've not watched it ONCE since then :( guess that's understandable)
|

Posted by: Mitch on March 27, 2007 4:34PM EST
Wanda, I Tivo All My Children everyday. Has Adam gone of the deep end or what? Of course Crystal is not helping the situation. I watch One Life To Live to.

Wynona Judd has filed for divorce from her husband. He was arrested last week in Texas for child sex abuse. I just don't get it. Why do people do this to children. What could possibly turn them on looking at a child.
|
|

Posted by: linnykat on March 27, 2007 6:58PM EST
That's the one! thanks Mitch...One Life, not Days of our Lives...that's the one that Momma and I would talk about!
I agree with your Judd comment.... it's just WEIRD! sick weird!

I met Kassie DePaiva 3 years ago at Fanfair. Bobbie Eakes (Crystal) is there every year too. Kassie told me she would hunt me down if I wasn't at her fan club party this year. I can't wait to see her. I tried to go on her website at work the other day andit was blocked. Reason: It said it was a pornographic website.

I'm a Guiding Light fan...but I might take a peak at Bold and the Beautiful just to see Constantine. I always loved that cheesy guy!

I see Rodney hasn't saved a space for the show comments yet. I'll be on after it's over. I can't watch and type at the same time. Besides, I watch it up in Mom's room and she doesn't have a computer!

Posted by: linnykat on March 27, 2007 7:43PM EST
I'll be on later, have to watch House with hubby, so i'll be late (that way HE watches Idol with me *smirk*)
happy viewing....i'm sure *I'm* in for some *new experiences* with this show!

Hey all!! I used to watch the Young & the Restless but I don't watch any of them now. Too predictable & boring. JMO
Wynona Judd's husband...sicko indeed Apparently he was in rehab for drugs & alchohol. What a fool! I personally think there's a special place in hell for people like that!!

I'm sorry - I posted a blog item for the actual show itself at 7:50 p.m. Unfortunately, how long it takes to "port" from the movable type software to myajc.com is highly unpredictable. Sometimes it takes five minutes. Sometimes, it takes more than hour. Very aggravating! So feel free to comment here til the new blog item posts-- whenever!

Lakisha has the pups out on display. She looks good in the dress and did a great job!

Commentary...on Chris...not impressed...just my opinion...
|
|
|
Posted by: Mitch on March 27, 2007 8:15PM EST
Chris was "just OK for me". He needs to leave the mike stand alone. He may be Chris but not Daughtry. It doesn't work for him. And don't make excuses.

Mitch...you sound so much like Randy....

ROTFL! Apology accepted!
|
|
|
Posted by: CHOCL8T on March 27, 2007 8:20PM EST
I happen to agree with Randy & Paula..nice pitch but completely off tempo. There is no excuse for that when you are a singer! You voice is your instrument and you must keep the tempo.
Love Gina's boots and hosiery but HATE the dress. She did well! I liked her voice on this song

Gwen looks fabulous!
I liked Gina tonight. I don't like the Police so I had a tough time listening to Chris (although I normally like him). Lakisha was a'ight.
|
|
|
Posted by: CHOCL8T on March 27, 2007 8:24PM EST
Uh...I'll take a pass on the Sanjaya. I didn't see his hair...must have been typing.

if sanjaya isn't gone this week, i'll have to kill myself! considering i don't like pain, especially inflicted upon my person, that is saying a lot!

|

Posted by: Mitch on March 27, 2007 8:38PM EST
IdolLVR, he is inflicting pain on most of us every week. There are a few that actually like him though.
|
|
|
Posted by: IdolLVR on March 27, 2007 8:38PM EST
i can't endure any more pain... ahhhhhh. please put me out of my misery and let sanjaya go this week!

Phil did okay until close to the end. Strong performance, I think.

Phil's best performance yet. That was GREAT!!
|
|
|
Posted by: IdolLVR on March 27, 2007 8:40PM EST
mitch, i'm sure there are many young girls like ashley last week who like him because he is cute.
i like phil tonight even though it is a Police song...
|
|
|
Posted by: MsAngela on March 27, 2007 8:41PM EST
Paula ain't had her meds today..yeah that was nice...always liked that song anyway.
|
|

Posted by: IdolLVR on March 27, 2007 8:42PM EST
it looks like the stylists aren't dumpster diving this week - however, what is the temperature on the stage that phil needed a coat and a hat???
|
|
|
Posted by: Mitch on March 27, 2007 8:43PM EST
Melinda...she can flat out sing.
|
|
|
Posted by: CHOCL8T on March 27, 2007 8:43PM EST
I love Melinda's top...like the flips in her hair. Solid performance as always...NAILED IT!

Melinda has an awesome voice.

melinda was okay for me tonight.
|
|
|
Posted by: MsAngela on March 27, 2007 8:44PM EST
Question for everyone....why be so limited in the song choices? I mean, when they get off this show...they will go back to their chosen genre...whatever they are best at....for instance..Melinda will probably never do a country song..So why not just on performances in general rather than force them into genre's they just may not be able to pull off...
|
|
|
Posted by: IdolLVR on March 27, 2007 8:45PM EST
she does look very nice. i like the new hairstyle. she's looking more confident.

Paula's never on the "right" meds...she needs a speech coach to teach her how to speak in complete sentences. SHE ANNOYS THE HELL OUT OF ME!!
|

Posted by: Hopez on March 27, 2007 8:45PM EST
Maybe some facial hair would help Phil...

San-vagina really really sucks...please vote him off of the show!!
|
|
Posted by: lfc on March 27, 2007 8:48PM EST
Don't know about the stylists this year. Melinda needs something to show that she has a neck...not that high crew neckline. Her singing is brilliant, but the dress has to go.

Hey Wanda. Enjoyed your comments today.

in this case, i really wish we COULD vote someone off! my ears and eyes STILL hurt after sanjaya's performance! i wish i could take it all back...
|
|
|
Posted by: Hopez on March 27, 2007 8:50PM EST
MSAngela - I think that a gifted performer can nail almost any genre. Also, it is a competition and it's interesting to see how each contestant handles the challange.
|
|
|
Posted by: lfc on March 27, 2007 8:50PM EST
Gwen should use this toned-down look instead of the pompador. She is such a beautiful woman, but you can't see it through the makeup.
|
|
|
Posted by: IdolLVR on March 27, 2007 8:51PM EST
i don't know this song but he sounds kinda whiney to me. that is the reason i'm not fond of the Police.

Overall today...I must say...I am not enjoying this show...lol

Not my fav performance by Blake but he was good.

What? No beatbox! I'm shocked!!
|
|

Posted by: kochany on March 27, 2007 8:52PM EST
Hmmm. Weird choice for Blake. Don't think anyone but Robert Smith should ever sing that song....waiting for something better to come out......

Posted by: Hopez on March 27, 2007 8:52PM EST
Blake - Boring performance, although I do like him overall.
|
|

Posted by: MsAngela on March 27, 2007 8:52PM EST
Hopez...I agree....but I'm just thinking in this kind of competition, allow them to do what they are best at.

Blake needs to add more personality into his songs. If he can't do the "beat", he seems bland.
