The next morning, Tuesday, Aug. 3 was the day of American Idol auditions at the Meadowlands in New Jersey.   Constantine introduced Ryan Seacrest who told the people in the IZOD Center that it was “a record crowd for American Idol.”  Constantine also sang “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Living on a Prayer” from fellow Jersey rocker Jon Bon Jovi.

Here’s a nice picture that Constantine himself posted on his Twitter page with Michael Orland, Music Director from American Idol.  He and Michael worked together when Constantine was a contestant on AI back on Season 4.

1215a: Just arrived at the Bing sponsored party at Village at the Yard. The cast of Rock of Ages is on stage right now, singing some of the favorites from the show. I can’t see them as I am still waiting… Outside…. In the snow.

1220a: Made it inside! Constantine Maroulis is leading the cast in “Don’t Stop Believing”, as the crowd sings along.

1a: The show is over. Constantine and gang have come out to the room to hang with the crowd. Can’t get close enough to ask how their Sundance is going. I do overhear him say something of the effect of: “this is cool”.

Haitian Fundraising Event

This was found on Blogwing.  It is about a fund raising event and a silent auction to be held at 1Oak in New York on Thursday, Jan. 21.  Constantine is on the committe.  Be sure to click the link and get more information on the site.

Like everyone else, we were heartbroken by the devastation that hit Haiti last week and thought what can we do. Before we can even begin to think we received a message from our friend Emma Snowdon-Jones about putting together a benefit. She had contacted her friend Nigel Barker who has actually shot a film on Haiti and in the past held a fundraiser to build a school there and the ball was rolling. We secured a venue with 1OAK and our friend Eve Salvail, also known as DJ Evalicious agreed to spin. We decided to hold a silent auction/online auction at the same time and the items came pouring in as well. So if you are in New York this Thursday won’t you stop by 1OAK from 9 to 11, if you can’t stay, make a donation. All proceed are going to EDEYO and Concern Worldwide. We are suggesting a donation of $40 at the door. There will be surprise performances and we have a pretty star studded committee including: Gabriel Byrne, Terry George, Estelle, Emma Snowdon-Jones, Scott Buccheit, Nigel Barker, Amy Sacco, Anne Vincent, Ranjana Khan, Gillian Hearst, Phillip Bloch, Danielle Thur, Scott Sartiano, Bettina Prentice, Richie Akiva, Ronnie Madra, Jeffrey Jah, Thom Felicia, David Barton and Constantine Maroulis.

Yesterday, Constantine tweeted:

Gettin a lil’ trim…gonna save some locks to raise money for Haiti. Anyone interested??? Hmmmm??

And he attached this photo to his tweet:

Will the golden locks be a part of the auction at this event?
