The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2007
Former PHANTOM BLUE guitarist MICHELLE MELDRUM has died. She was 39.
The Meldrum frontwoman passed away after suffering a brain haemorrhage on 18 May (08).
Meldrum's former Phantom Blue bandmate Linda MCDonald says, "It comes as a complete shock and the impact will be felt by so many. She was a one of a kind and will be sorely missed. I don't really know what to say right now. Thank you for your prayers. I'm sure she heard them all. It is a very sad, sad day."
The surviving bandmembers of Meldrum plan to release a tribute CD later this year (08), reports Blabbermouth.net.
The star - married to Europe guitarist John Norum - leaves one son, Jake Thomas, three.
There's something about "America's Got Talent" — free-form, freestyle, free of rules — that seems to fit its place and time.
"It's a kind of showcase for all American talent," said Piers Morgan, one of the judges and "Celebrity Apprentice" winner. "In that way, we've become a sort of patriotic show."
Two of the show's three judges (Morgan and Sharon Osbourne) are British; so are two of the three creators, including "American Idol's" Simon Cowell. (David Hasselhoff is the third judge; Jerry Springer hosts.)
Jugglers and plate-spinners have equal status with cellists and sopranos.
The first champion was an 11-year-old singer; the second was a ventriloquist. "He signed a big contract in Las Vegas," Morgan said.
