Pia Toscano -- Post-Interscope

[Reinharted♥]

Yeah. Saw her in person during their mall tours here in the Philippines.Honestly, I was not really paying attention to Pia, since all I care about was Haley at that very moment. But then when I was already in front of her, saw her face to face..I was stunned..She is really gorgeous.. My sisters and I always tell that she can be in a beauty pageant.

Sweet P's & @JLeeUniverse are you ready for my latest mash-up with @jaredleemusic ??

Pia Toscano ‏@PiaToscano

Here is what @jaredleemusic & I have been working on! Hope you all love it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC2LsmhaKK8 … #diamonds #wheniwasyourman

It sounds okay. But what's the point of doing a mashup?

[Tusk]

Is he her Casey? I've seen they've dueted a few times (not interested in listening to more after I heard them duet the first time ), but this is sleepy, and I would think she needs to stay away from songs like this.

Thing about Casey is he compliments Haley and vice versa. This guy strikes me as too similar to Pia to be a compliment.... Heck, her duet with Stefano had more chemistry, IMO, and I'm really not a fan of Stefano's vocals or singing style....

Goodness, Pia really needs to catch a break. Hope 2013 brings some progress for her.

doesn't even look like Pia...I would have never guessed it was her if it didn't say so.

Pia just addressed one of her fan sites.

Her remarks are in the form of a series of brief comments, similar to tweets. I'm posting them all at once in letter form.

Pia Toscano:

Pia here. Unfortunately, I feel the need to defend myself which is something I didn't think I needed to do on Two very special places I look to for support and as an escape (from) the negative world we live in.

First off, Jared and I have known each other for years. He co wrote Old You Back with me and is now doing some co writes on my albums. Secondly, I'd like to address a few specific people on here who I will not name because you know who you are.

When I responded to a fan on twitter the other day saying I only have control of a few things, I was simply just stating that I do not control release dates and negotiations at the present moment.

I am blessed with a wonderful team who has been working harder than ever on getting my project out to the public. Harvey and Damon have created a magnificent project with me that I could not be more proud of.

However the strategy that we have requires a bit more time, as I have been going through development as an artist which is now unheard of these days and the very reason why so many upcoming artist fail.

Because they come out to soon and simply just aren't ready. I was once that artist. However, Harvey, Damon, Mark, Tom, Jeff & I are in this for the long haul and are now doing things the right way.

No artist emerges over night and in fact ALL of our favorite artists have been dropped and shelved. When you come from American Idol, you are expected to become a star over night, and for some that does happen, but for most it doesn't because it just simply isn't natural.

Artists spend years perfecting their performance, music, and writing before they show that to the world. Which is why they are so polished. I believe that is the way it should be done in my opinion.

With this now being my second chance, we want to make sure all of our ground has been covered so that we are prepared to face and achieve it all.

I am not here to be an over night "Here today, gone tomorrow" success story. I am in this to have a stable career and I am certainly in this for the long haul.

Trust me, it would have been a lot easier to just throw in the towel a year ago, but that isn't me and never will be.

So if you are getting antsy and impatient and choose to fire off ill informed thoughts in your mind, then do it. But the truth is, your assumptions are incorrect. Have a little faith & know that our strategy is not public knowledge yet.

Thank you for your support, and to most of you for having patience & believing in me.

Pia was in the Idol audience tonight, apparently (no TV face time though ) and bumped into a couple of friends

Headed to my first #idol show of the season.. Can't wait to see these awesome girls

Pia Toscano ‏@PiaToscano 5h
Ran into these two tonight.. Fam http://instagram.com/p/YOpWX5r8Qr/

Funny, S12's finalists seem to be a train wreck among themselves (probably mostly due to the 'Lazaro effect'), but there is no doubt how close S10's are together...nothing manufactured here....

with Angie and Michael O'

therealpia2 awesome people @michaelorland & @angieai12 ! Angie had me in tears tonight.. Unreal

[mercfan3]

It is a real shame that these contestants aren't as close, but I agree..it's the Laz effect. You could tell that Season 10 and Season 11..the whole group is pretty much family for life. We see little reunions from those groups all the time.

^^It's not surprising that Pia connects with Angie. Both have that similar quality of superior technical abilities, without being relatable. (Although Pia never had a trainwreck like "Shop Around.")

I was a Pia fan...but this was a train wreck for Pia on Idol...thanks for the outfit Gwen. Although the judges were gushing. Where was Randy with, "It was the movement" comments? I guess he used them all up on Haley.

No, this wasn't typical "Pia" good, but it also wasn't a trainwreck. At least Pia remained in tune. Angie's pitch was all over the place on "Shop Around" and her rhythm was off as well.
