Scott Meenen's Interviews

with

Contestants of American Idol

   Greetings everyone. This is Scott Meenen from Libertypost.org  (an electronic online forum) Since April 17 2003 I have had the honor of doing several interviews with contestants of American Idol 2003. I have recorded the interviews into .WAV files and converted them to Windows .ASF . I have also posted the transcripts of two of these interviews on Liberty post.org (an electronic online forum)  and will post more as time goes on. You can read the transcripts and listen to the Audio by following the links below.

    I really enjoyed talking to the contestants, with a few exceptions (no one I talked to) they seem to be the nicest people. The reason that I like to do interviews is for several reasons. First and obviously I am a real fan of the show and given the opportunity to talk to any of the contestants I would not pass it up. Second I want to do what I can to promote each contestants with the hopes that the added exposure here will help them in the future and finally having some experience in the talk radio world I know that there is absolutely no substitute for "first hand" knowledge. In other words you may think you know what someone is thinking but until you hear it from them it is just rumor. I have learned more about the show talking to the contestants than I ever could just watching the show. Some of it says with me and will not get published (if you know what I mean).

    If you would like to see more interviews here and I know I would then I would ask that you contact the people responsible for making this happen and put in a good word for me. If they don't get any feedback positive or negative then they cannot keep granting me interviews and I don't feel right asking.
So please send some feedback.

    My next and ongoing endeavor is to talk to Kimberly Locke if she is willing and the "forces of the Universe" fall into place. I will make an effort to secure and interview with her. I have been trying for a long time but due to the fact that she stayed on the show until the very end and then the Tour came up it has been impossible to get an interview with her. Once again some positive feedback to the contacts below would be a great help. However I would not turn down any opportunities to interview any other contestants as they become available.

Thank you again
Scott Meenen

I have just completed my interview with Julia Demato. Mirror page. I have posted the transcript (click on link) and released the audio copy (25 minutes). I must say for the record that contrary to what you may have heard, in my opinion she is a real sweetie.

Thank you Julia.
