“Which mournful solo artist is obsessed with his own level of fame? After convincing himself on a recent flight to Australia that he would be mobbed in the streets, the scrawny singer was nonplussed that most Aussies didn’t recognize him.” [Gatecrasher]

Ruben Studdard?
Jandek?
Timbaland?
Soulja Boy?
Or James Blunt.
I’m guessing Rufus Wainwright.
Blake Lewis.
Clay Aiken.
Oh wait, male and scrawny you say?
I change my guess to Courtney Love.
@Michaelangelo Matos: Hahaha, this I could see.
“I’m here to personally make up for Judy’s legendary disastrous tour!….hello?….HELLLLLO?”
Morrissey?
No, he’d fight the crowd and then go eat some aparagus.
ryan adams possibly.
wainwright probably.
morrissey maybe.
Scott Stapp?
conner oberst
Michael Jackson?
Is he even allowed to leave the country?
Kanye West?
bbernardini wins this one, hands-down.
@Michaelangelo Matos: @Ned Raggett: Ding ding ding.
He toured Australia for a week last month, would conceivably know the same people Widdicombe does. (Also, Widdicombe = Aussie.)
Encyclopedia Brown, out.
@Jack Fear: does that mean we can’t keep guessing???
I would say Constantine Maroulis (whu?), but I doubt he would make it through the livestock inspection at Australian customs.
I’m going with James Blunt too.
Based on one interview I read with James Blunt, he seems entirely probable.
I hope it’s James Blunt. From personal experience, none of the others are popular enough to be able to convince themselves that they’d be mobbed. Blunt has the ego too.
Kelly Clarkson’s the only American Idol winner who’s had ANY exposure around here.
