Ryan Seacrest will be intereviewing Ace on the radio within the next 30 minutes. (around 8:30 am PST) You can "Listen Live" online here:
http://www.kiisfm.com/pages/streaming.html I did this recap REALLY fast as I was listening to the interview, so forgive me if it doesn't make any sense. I'm sure it will be available to download from Ryan's site within the next day or two.
Birthday game at 8:15 am: Ryan tells Ace that the winner thinks he's hot. Ace tells her, "Congratulations, you just won a grand. Let's see if I can help you win 10." (she didn't win the extra money)
Ace is on the phone, not in the studio.
He says, "I feel good" and "I haven't had much sleep."
Ace hoped it wasn't him going home because he wanted another week on the show. He said he couldn't read "the vibe that everybody was giving me" on Wednesday.
Ryan says that if he were Ace, he would have felt good after Tuesday's show because of the judges comments.
Ace felt safe when he found out he was in Chris' group last night and was surprised that Chris was in the bottom 3. Ace said it will be "a good wake up call for his [Chris'] fans."
Ace says he's very close with Chris.
Ace and Chris were talking yesterday and discussed that AI is "a wonderful way to start a career."
Ryan tells Ace that Kellie prepared a farewell speech for last night's show, and Ace didn't know that.
Ryan said that last night on the show he wanted to ask Ace and Chris (before the results) if they would "swap" -- if they would sacrifice their safety on the show for the other. Ace immediately answered, "Sure." Ryan again asked, "You would've gone home to let Chris stay in?" and Ace says, "I would have totally done it." Ryan asks if Ace thinks Chris would say the same thing, and Ace says, "Right now I would hope he said no," and laughs. Ace also says that they're a family and that he and Chris got along from day 1 in Denver.
[more coming up]
Ryan talks about women throwing themselves at Ace and he responds, "I've been out of the AI bubble for about 4 hours. I've only run into about 2 people. I've been in a room with a camera." Ace adds, "I'm ecstatic to see who knocks on my door."
Ryan tells Ace to check out FHM and Maxim for girls.
Ellen K (Ryan's radio partner) says that she heard Jessica Simpson is interested in him. Ace's response, "Really?" and says that he needs more information, facts. Ryan says that Jessica watches the show and sent boots to the girls, but he also suggests that maybe Jess really watches to see Ace. Ace says, "Then I'm sorry that she won't be watching anymore."
BEST PART!!!!!!!! Ace says how his "high rollers" have raised $2000 in his name for the children's hospital and he is "so blown away." *squeal* He described how he visits there every Christmas singing room to room and the fans' generosity "just blew me away." Ellen K calls it sweet and Ryan says something about how your life can be influential. (find out more about this fan charity project here)
Ace says he went out on a high note because the judges were nice. What he wore on Tuesday was the first suit he ever bought in his life. It cost $2000 and one of his friends helped him buy it, McQueen (?) brand. He was happy that he got to peform for his grandparents, who played in big band era, and that got to perform a classic for parents for their first time in the audience.
The end!
