IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

Hey Messengers!!

@realrogue1717, @reoracer, and I have a HUGE project in mind, but we can't do it without you.

We need anyone who will be attending an Idol Live show this summer to tweet me (@ColtonFacts) which concert you will be at, if you have VIP passes or not, and what date the concert is on.

We're planning a scavenger hunt type thing for Colton and we need at least one person who will be attending each show to help us out!

If you're interested then PLEASE tweet me telling me the information above!

This will ONLY work if we have enough people to help us out!

(Also, if you are NOT a Messenger and will be attending the concert, please go ahead and tweet me because we may end up needing your help as well.)

Thank you guys for reading and please help us make this all possible for Colton! Have a great day!

Messenger Prayer List Announcement

Hey Messengers! It's time for the BIG announcement to be made! Thank you all for waiting a little longer for this post (I was having some trouble with it).

Starting today, I'll be starting a Messenger Prayer List! This will only work with YOUR help!

What it is: You guys will send in any prayer requests (no matter how big or small) that you have to me via email. Then, I'll put all of the requests that were submitted into a list along with any other updates that need attention brought to them.

I'll then send the list out to everyone who is subscribed to receive the email updates! This way, all of our Messenger family will know what and who to pray for. And this is not JUST for Messengers, ANYONE can submit a request or be subscribed to the list! I'll send the emails out periodically depending on how many I receive and how urgent the request is.

To sign up, send an email with the subject line 'I'd Like To Subscribe' to this email address: messengerprayerlist@hotmail.com

In the email, please add your full name or your twitter name so I know who you are and who to say the request was from.

To send prayer requests in, send them with the subject line, 'Request', to the same email: messengerprayerlist@hotmail.com

There is no limit on how many requests you can submit!

*(You can unsubscribe to the list at any time by sending me an email saying that you'd like to unsubscribe)*

Also, if you are submitting a request, please add in if you would like me to keep your name private or not. If you do not tell me that you'd like your request to remain anonymous, your name will be posted along with your request(s).

***ALL EMAILS WILL BE KEPT PRIVATE! I WILL NEVER GIVE OUT ANYONE'S EMAIL ADDRESS!***

I hope you all join in. Please share this on twitter, with your friends, on FaceBook; any way you can! I want this to be BIG, so tell everyone about it!

Colton Elimination Interviews and Videos

Hey everyone. As of now, everyone knows what happened last Thursday night; our American Idol was voted off of the show. I know that this came as a shocker to many people, me included. I'm not sure how it happened, but I do trust that God has a plan for Colton and that he will go very, very far. Below are some links to interviews, videos, and articles that Colton has appeared in since being eliminated. Most of them go more in depth about what his plans are for the future and how he is taking the elimination. Be aware that these are not all of the interviews that he is in, just some that I particularly liked.

I would also like to let everyone reading this know that I do not approve of the word Colton used on the Live! with Kelly show. I know that some people are probably like, "what word?" or "that's not a bad word", but to me I consider it a cuss word. I don't feel it was right of him to use the word since he always talks about being a Christian and how much he loves God. Some people, like myself, who do consider it a cuss word could be turned off. I think he could have made a much better decision about his wording.

And, Colton, if you ever see this (which I know there is little chance that you will), I'm not mad about it, I'm just disappointed. I do know that some people don't consider it a bad word at all and use it in every day speech, but I (and many other people) consider it a bad word. I don't think Colton's status should make him think that he can let certain words slip, which I do NOT believe is the case. To the best of my knowledge, Colton doesn't cuss or take the Lord's name in vain ever. In my opinion, he probably doesn't consider it to be a bad word and he probably does use it frequently, but I also don't think he goes around cussing his head off either. Enough of that, Colton, I'm not mad I just don't think it was the right word. I still support you and always will. #Messenger4LIFE <3

COLTON MADE IT TO THE TOP 24!

Hey guys! BIG news! If any of you follow Colton on twitter, you know that yesterday he had a twitter party. We were looking back through his tweets from the party and found this:

If you notice, she clearly asked Colton if he imagined himself in the TOP on American Idol. Colton's reply was 'no' meaning that he never pictured himself in the Top 24. This OBVIOUSLY means that he made it! Are you guys excited? We know we are! Tell us in the comments what you think about this tweet!

Be SURE to tune in to FOX Wednesday and Thursday to watch Colton on American Idol! Keep checking back for more Colton news!

Colton Made It Into The Top 24????

Hey guys! So we may have possibly just found another hint that Colton made it into the Top 24!! We found this page at PopTower.com: http://www.poptower.com/schyler-dixon-american-idol.htm

The page talks about Schyler and her American Idol journey but, scroll down the page... you'll see that they have the Top 24 listed below the article! We have inserted a clip from the post below:

We don't know if this information is true but, wouldn't it be cool if they are right? I guess we'll see Wednesday night!

Thanks so much for reading! Keep checking back for more Colton updates!

Colton Preforms "Everything" at Crossroads Church

Hey guys! I wanted to share my FAVORITE video of Colton's with you! The song is one of Colton's favorites. It is called "Everything" and is by the Christian band, Lifehouse. He performed this song at Crossroads Church in Corona, CA. I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I do! Keep checking back for more Colton news!

Hint That Colton Made The Top 24...?

Welcome back guys! We noticed that Colton and Schyler were tweeting each other during Thursday nights American Idol episode. Schyler tweeted about her new hair style (which is the link in the first tweet Schyler posted) and Colton replied saying that he LOVED it! Now, you may think that them tweeting each other is no big deal but, look at what they tweeted after that:

A while later Colton tweeted this:

Do you think that maybe they are trying to give us a hint that Colton has made it into the Top 24? Their conversation sort of seemed like they missed each other. Maybe Colton is in Hollywood prepping for the Top 24 show so they miss each other because they are separated? Regardless, we think that it is super sweet that they love each other so much! We sure hope that this IS a sign he made it!

Thanks for reading guys! Keep checking back for more Colton news!
