Constantine's Greek Tragedy

Constantine MaroulisAppearing on "American Idol" can lead to great success and even Grammy Awards or... not!

For every Kelly Clarkson there are record store bargain bins littered with the failed careers of the reality show's contestants.

Former "Idol" non-winner Constantine Maroulis may not exactly be slinging hash at Applebee's yet, but the once buzzed about rocker is slowly watching his career hit the Guarini zone.

Although he has landed a role in the Broadway musical "The Wedding Singer", Maroulis is also still making ends meet by performing in local food festivals. Ay-yi-yi!

The Brooklyn native is scheduled to perform at the Greek Food Festival of Dallas at the end of the month. And for a whopping $10 admission price, hungry fans get entrance to the festival, lunch and Constantine's performance.

Not even Paula Abdul can find something hopeful to say to Constantine about that.

2. What is the appeal of this greasy looking boy? His "sultry" look it hideous, he is not easy on the eyes. ICK!

3. Wow!...... this couldn't be farther from the truth! I wouldn't call a role on Broadway and performing for thousands of people in the middle of Times Square not to mention another Broadway role after the current one is finished, peanuts. Let's not forget a tv show on MTV and a gig at the Viper Room in LA. Sounds like you need to do more research before you decide to comment on someones career. If I am not mistaken...which I am not, both Carrie and Bo (Idol winner and runner up) performed at festivals this past summer.

4. I think he is doing better than some two bit writer for some crappy website that is nothing more that a tabloid rag.

BTW...he's hot!

5. You are misinformed, yet that doesn't keep you from publishing your stupid "information." Yes, he is performing at a Greek Festival. So what the F is wrong with that? That was a commitment made BEFORE he took the BROADWAY role. He is also doing 2 probably sold-out shows at the Viper Room in LA next week.
Other Idol WINNERS have done festivals. BO is playing the State Fair of Texas in Dallas the same day that Constantine will be at the Greek Festival in Dallas.

Oh by the way, have you happened to read any comments about people's reactions to C on Broadway? He's doing great. He will be on CNN's Showbiz Tonight tonight BTW.

6. Yuck.. He is NOT hot.... well.. unless you like that unwashed greasy sleazebag look.
I hope he does go away soon... I can't freaking stand looking at him.

7. Wow, this article is far from accurate. Yes, Constantine is appearing at the Greek Fest in Dallas, but he is honoring a commitment he made and is honoring his heritage.

Constantine not only has the Wedding Singer role, but many more projects coming up.

The author of this so called article should have done a bit more research before hitting the submit button.

8. Interesting spin doctoring. You yourself threw in the fact that makes this article look foolish: "Although he has landed a role in the Broadway musical "The Wedding Singer""...

Go back and look at that again. **Constantine is in a Broadway show**.

How is this a failed career?

9. Great article. Karma is a bitch Constantine. You may have a small die hard core of rabid fans but you've pissed off so many fans along the way, that group is growing by leaps and bounds. There are so many former fans just waiting to watch karma bite you in the butt --and that is what happens when you speak so unkindly about your fans to their faces and behind their backs. Lets face it..you could not sell out a small town tour in your home state and they were giving away tickets for free! Your big shot TV show on ABC was scrapped and there is still no album out. But you talk a good talk. Now try eating some humble pie and maybe just maybe so many people won't wish for your failure.

11. I use to love you Constantine but these comments are too true. And while you are at it, yoreally do need to take a bath. That greasy hair and come hither look is so played out. You are very talented and croon with the best of them but stop with the gimmicks for five minutes and people will take you more seriously.

12. But but but, the festival is Greek and he is Greek and other Greeks will be there and Greek Men are supposed to be real ... different, so maybe he will do well at the food festival.

If I get any pictures, I'll send them to you.

13. Some people think something of their heritage, and the Greeks being Mediterranean are a very close knit community. They take care of their own and some are even gratefdul for that loyalty.

But, of course, all of you "rednecks" with no heritage or family trees that go no deeper than one generation, if that, just simply don't get it. Given that this is unknown territory for you, you are excused.

14. He takes it in the butt just like the rest...
