For 12 weeks you watched them sing, those American Idol kids, belting their hearts out, urging you to love them. And you did love them, didn't you? You were glued to the tube wondering: Will Kelly's pipes -- as big as her home state of Texas -- triumph? Will chaos ensue if they vote Tamyra off the island? Will Justin's hair take over the planet?
Now you can get close to your would-be idols because the kids are taking the show on the road with the American Idol Stars tour featuring the one and only Kelly Clarkson, above, her able runner-up Justin Guarini, fabulous Tamyra Gray and all the other losers whose names we haven't committed to memory.
Want to hear classic Motown tunes sung oh-so-spritely by annoying pep squad types? Get in line.
The American Idol Stars tour arrives 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the St. Pete Times Forum, 401 Channelside Drive, Tampa. $27.50-$37.50. (813) 223-1000.
