As with anyone in the spotlight, the American Idol top 24 already have fan clubs in the works. There seems to be some disagreement as to the names – no easy choices like the Soul Patrol, ClayManiacs or ClayMates. Let’s take finalist Blake Lewis for example – in one single topic on the americanidol.com message boards the following names have been suggested for his fan club: The Blaker Girls, The Blaker Boys, Blake’s Beatboxers, Blake’s Shorties and even the Frosted Blakes. Evidently the folks behind The Blaker Girls have the ball rolling as they have a website, a MySpace page, and merchandise for sale on CafePress. That’s dedication
Here are some other fan club names that caught my attention: “The AAA” (Alaina Alexander Addicts), “Haley’s Comets” for Haley Scarnato, and Chris Sligh’s Slighdols are part of the “Fro Patro” (evidently Sligh came up with that name himself). The others are either up in the air or lack a fan base sufficient to come up with a name. Check out the prospective names over at the americanidol.com forums.
