Mr. McDonald. I Oddly Heart Thee & Will Say Y’all Just To Hang Out With You
Posted on: February 27, 2011
I do not like blue grass-ish music. It’s just not this Yankee’s thing. I’m just not into the southern, honky-tonk kind of twangy music. Not my style.
Buuut, with that being said… I’m ready to put on some overalls and move to the south or wherever the hell he is from because of his extremely white teeth, his faux hawk and this little video.
As long as he isn’t a republican… I’m down. I’ll leave NYC if he buys me a plane ticket. I can learn to eat at Cracker Barrel everyday.
He doesn’t seem to have a souther accent so there isn’t an accent barrier between us. We’d be able to understand each other. Things are looking up.
I know I keep reposting this picture, but look at him. Look at that smile. He looks like Bradley Cooper a little bit.
I don’t even like beer… but I will chug PBR on his farm any day.
I’m totally ready to give up my identity as a north-eastern female … and go kick with him down south. Where do I sign?? I don’t even mind is extremely non-Italian last name.
Rocco McDonald sounds okay right?? That sounds awful.. it sounds like Ronald McDonald. I’ll have to use by birth name.

I said the exact same thing! Although I have actually been to Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson Concerts as well as a party that Merle Haggard hosted down in Lake Shasta (LOL) that would not be my favorite choice in music. That said, if you go listen to some of his earlier stuff with the Hightide Blues Band it has kind of a country rock feel to it and not as much twang. I kinda like it!
BUT I am completely confused by the whole thing though because his website both band and personal are marketing his Idol appearance already even down to a preorder of a tshirt replica of the suit he wore during Idol Vegas week so I am wondering if Idol has changed the rules drastically?
It seemed like Lee DeWyze could have pretty much zip to do with Wuli once he went on Idol but not the case with this contestant it seems. Maybe I am confused?
I guess my main concern would be that it remains fair to all contestants without one having an advantage in public marketing at this early level. I remember last season Idol even went as far as to take down all music on both Lee and Crystal Bowersox’s MySpace accounts so doubtful they could have marketed on a personal website even with pre-orders.
I know Lee had the 2 pre-idol albums out and one video during last season but this is 2 websites, three Cd’s and no less than 40 youtube video’s (some professional) including a tour documentary of a 5 year tour with the Hightide Blues Band.
Is it just me or is this really different for American Idol? And I wonder if that leaves the same playing field for all contestants? I also wonder if now that he is in the Top 24 if much of that will have to come down? I don’t know, just throwing it out there? I still do like some of his stuff, especially the early stuff, and I am interested how he will lean on the show…more country rock or more bluegrass? I guess we will find out! Yes?
Thanks Rocco and sorry I wrote a short novel, lol.

write as much as you want… and yes it’s completely diff. id love to see the contract this yr.
they have twitter accounts and they are all talking about their pre idol days… i don’t understand what changed.
and i feel bad for the younger ppl who don’t have the same background.
it’s not an even playing field i guess anymore… who knows ?? lol

and yes… im interested to see which way he goes 
and yes Lee would have been shot if he mentioned wuli during idol.. lol
so strange

Thank you! I So agree! Glad to know I’m not losing my mind. I remember Lee’s MySpace being wiped clean lol
Yes…very, very different and even now they have the people who don’t make the top 24 getting PRIMO appearances on shows… Really? That use to be a reward for those who could make it through the trenches to the Top 12 but now it’s like okay Top 40 LET’S GO!! LENO and Today Show etc…WTH?
I just don’t get it and not sure doing it this way has the same merits. Maybe those were Simon peeve’s and now since he’s gone it’s different? Don’t know but not really liking it. I think the accolades should be for those who give up dang near a year of their life, IMO.
Sorry to take you away from the OSCARS (yaawwwnnn) haha! to answer that!
Hey Oprah! It’s looking up! LOL
