This is the third season for The Wichita Eagle’s “American Idol” blog, which began in 2007 largely to chronicle how well former Wichitan Phil Stacey was doing in the competition. (Quite well, as it turned out; he came in sixth.)
This season, Eagle columnist Denise Neil hands over the reins of the blog to Phil himself, who’ll be able to offer some behind-the-scenes insight into the show, as well as our traditional recaps and assessments. Phil’s blogging for a handful of newspapers across the country, in cities where he has lived.
Phil may have lived in a lot places, but he graduated from Northwest High School in 1997, giving Wichita more than just a little claim to him. You can learn a lot more about Phil and his budding recording career by checking out his Web site.
