WEEKEND WEB: American Idol Experience Madness
As much as I try to avoid posting about the same topic more than once in a short time period, I can’t resist posting a link round-up for all of the American Idol Experience content that I’ve posted over the last few days.
Since Thursday’s world premiere of the attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, I’ve done almost nothing but edit, compress, and upload video from the event and now that it’s all done, I want to make sure that everyone who wants to see it has a chance to. So here are a bunch of American Idol links:
- Eight Video Interviews with American Idol Celebrities
- Eight more videos of the entire American Idol Experience finale show for the media including Ryan Seacrest, Paula Abdul, all 7 past Idol winners receiving special awards, and performances by David Cook and Carrie Underwood
- Inside the Magic Podcast (Show 202) featuring binaural audio of the complete American Idol Experience finale show
- Video of 27 American Idol celebrities gathering for a photo shoot and chatting with each other (also includes Mickey Mouse)
- Brief Video of David Archuleta, Sayesha Mercado, David Cook, and Carrie Underwood riding the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
- Huge photo gallery from the world premiere event
THURSDAY THEME PARK: American Idol Experience Performances by David Cook and Carrie Underwood
Yes, it’s another Thursday Theme Park post on a Friday, but I have a good excuse. I spent nearly 12 hours at the American Idol Experience media event yesterday and definitely didn’t have it in me to post something worthwhile when I got home. I’ll have MUCH more on this event in the coming days, but for now I bring you the three musical performances of the night.
During the American Idol Experience finale show, previous American Idol winners David Cook and Carrie Underwood performed separately and together. Ryan Seacrest was also on hand to host parts of the show.
Now, I’m not a fan of David Cook or Carrie Underwood but they both sounded excellent. The sound system in the newly-renovated theater at Disney’s Hollywood Studios sounded better than 99% of concerts that I’ve attended (and I’ve been to a LOT of concerts over the years).
The videos below were shot in high-definition, though the HD versions are not quite available yet. However, the audio in these videos is binaural, so put on your headphones and enjoy! They look and sound GREAT.
