I just visited the message boards of American Idol to see what people were saying about Barry Manilow. He's going to be a guest judge I guess and they will be having Barry Manilow Week on American Idol on the 20th. I don't watch American Idol but I might tune in to see Barry. Anyway, someone posted a message on the boards that said if "If David Cassidy had been alive in the era of TRL {TRL is that show on MTV or VH1 or some crappy music channel} he would have been #1 too." Well, David Cassidy is alive. And was a big success on BROADWAY in the show Blood Brothers in 1993-94 and performed the show on the road from 1994-96. And has been pretty busy since doing all kinds of things. He's currently touring the UK. David Cassidy didn't need TRL to be a huge success. But apparently the American Idol people need a great deal more help. So, Check out David Cassidy's official website.
