Since American Idol is starting soon, and I know that it is a guilty pleasure for some of the Threadheads here, I thought I would post this to get everything started!

lmao, thank you, baby! You know I'm a sucker for this show. And yes, I will be parked in front of the new HDTV on Tuesday night at 7 CST. Two hour premier! lol

[pokerchick66]

Here's something else I just found, too:

"Former "American Idol" finalist Jennifer Hudson won the supporting-actress Golden Globe on Monday for her movie debut as a powerhouse vocalist in the musical "Dreamgirls," boosting her chances for the same prize at the Academy Awards."

Not too shabby.

[glinda]

Yea, our Chicago girl done good. And she's a BEARS fan!

[Fables of Faubus]

We'll do our best to forgive her for it.;)

[pokerchick66]

We'll do our best to forgive her for it.;)

LMAO! :D

[pokerchick66]

lol, still funny as ever! Paula's still drunk.

[rosetree]

PC...
That girl singing (or forgetting ) "Kiss" was a little hard to watch! LOL :D

[Amy Winette]

lol, still funny as ever! Paula's still drunk.

Do you think it's pills or booze or both?

Oh boy, another fun filled season about to start, woo hoo! :)

[pokerchick66]

Do you think it's pills or booze or both?

Oh boy, another fun filled season about to start, woo hoo! :)

lol Amy, you make me so happy!

I like you too, Rosetree. Yes, that girl singing Kiss HURT ME! This is such fun, lmao! I just love Simon. And that is soooo cool Jewel is a judge, Amy. I know you're liking that. I love Jewel! :D

[pokerchick66]

Wow, I can't believe they jumped all over Randy like that. I didn't think he was being rude; that was funny! No ruder than Simon has ever been. God, I love this show.

[Amy Winette]

Oh yay, I love Jewel too!

[pokerchick66]

Oh yay, I love Jewel too!

Amy, is it on yet for you?

[rosetree]

lol Amy, you make me so happy!

I like you too, Rosetree. Yes, that girl singing Kiss HURT ME! This is such fun, lmao! I just love Simon. And that is soooo cool Jewel is a judge, Amy. I know you're liking that. I love Jewel! :D

This IS definitely a guilty pleasure!!!!

[ScoopJohnD]

Nice kid that was just on, but I didn't think they'd pick him.

[Amy Winette]

Nope, not for another hour and a half. 8pm Pacific Time.

[pokerchick66]

This IS definitely a guilty pleasure!!!!

Oh, it most definitely is! I can't tear myself away from it. It's totally fascinating.

That boy said, My mom is proud of me! Of course she is, you big goofball, lol. And what about the boss and his secretary? lmao!

[pokerchick66]

Nope, not for another hour and a half. 8pm Pacific Time.

lol, Amy it's sooooo good. I swore I wasn't gonna get taken in but I can't fight it. lmao!

[pokerchick66]

Nice kid that was just on, but I didn't think they'd pick him.

Scooooooop! So glad you joined us, babe.

That girl sang better for her boss, didn't she? ;) ;) ;)

[ScoopJohnD]

Scooooooop! So glad you joined us, babe.

That girl sang better for her boss, didn't she? ;) ;) ;)

Yeah she did.....I think Sarah who was just on could be this years Katherine McPhee. Nice voice.......needed to show a little more skin though. (shallow is my middle name)

[ScoopJohnD]

Uh oh.......I think it's gonna get scary now.

[ScoopJohnD]

Dogs are now howling all over my neighborhood.

[pokerchick66]

Yeah she did.....I think Sarah who was just on could be this years Katherine McPhee. Nice voice.......needed to show a little more skin though. (shallow is my middle name)

No, you're fine. I thought she was the best one so far.

I just adore Simon. I can't wait to see what's left. Did you see that guy crying? Unreal. Jewel is cool.

[Amy Winette]

Jewel is a hoot! Have you ever seen her in concert? She talks and talks, her stories are very funny :) And irreverant.

[pokerchick66]

Jewel is a hoot! Have you ever seen her in concert? She talks and talks, her stories are very funny :) And irreverant.

Yea, I really like her. She looks so different from what she use to. I always used to listen to her music coming down after partying all night. Mainly Pieces of You. Love that one.

I can't believe Simon made that guy sing Abba. See? This is why I love this show so much. Messing with people. Pure unadulterated bliss for me. The previews look good, too.

[pokerchick66]

Miss Dream Girl herself is gonna be a mentor:

[Amy Winette]

Well that was entertaining, but nobody really knocked my socks off yet . . .

[pokerchick66]

Well that was entertaining, but nobody really knocked my socks off yet . . .

You mean no cute dudes? ;)

Yes, I have yet to see an Ace or a Daughtry. Seattle's tonight; two hours again. I can't wait till they show Birmingham. That oughta be fun.

I can't believe they keep letting Paula do interviews or judge even. I'd tell her to clean up her act first. That's embarassing to watch.

[Amy Winette]

I meant no great singers. All the people they sent through last night were just okay for me . . .

[pokerchick66]

I meant no great singers. All the people they sent through last night were just okay for me . . .

lol, I know; just teasing ya.

I can't believe they put some of the people through that they did.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/17/AR2007011700094_pf.html

[Amy Winette]

OKAY, wow. Just . . . wow.

First, 10,000 people per city. If they saw one person every minute for 8 hours a day, it would take 21 days to get through everyone. They don't spend 21 days in a city, so they don't see everyone. Who gets through? Obviously not just the people with a chance based on what we're seeing. The terrible thing is this just encourages terrible people. I'm sitting here thinking *I* could be the next American Idol -- haha!

Second, I lived in Seattle for a year, it was my first year of undergrad, it was 1992 the year of the grunge breakout and Jeremy every other song on the radio. STILL, I do not recall everyone in the city looking THAT freaky! Holy cow.

Good god, the Napolean Dynamite guy doing Unchained Melody, the lemur boy who thought he was a backstreet boy. I snorted laughing so loud during those two. Good GOD!

There were a few people who were actually memorable tonight, the indian kids were cute with good voices. Rudy has the potential to be a hottie, like the attitude. I'm not quite done yet, I'm sure I'll have more to say . . .

Yea, Rudy was aiight. How about that girl with the tennis shoes? And how about that girl last night that sounded like the cowardly lion? I also thought she sounded like Chewbacca.

[Amy Winette]

OMG, she WAS Chewie! I laughed out loud on that one.

[tangledupinblue]

LARRY KING HAS AI/Taylor Hicks and Fantasia on right now.

[pokerchick66]

lol, here's something just for funzies. WARNING: Profanity.

http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=21582

[dumbtourist]

Hey Mon,
Doesn't this dis your fav show??? But truly, I watched Tuesday evening and couldn't stomach another night...guess this is why?

[pokerchick66]

lol, nah. I thought it was just funny.

[ozzie]

Well I found out today that Oz is only now showing the LAST season of AI! My Jenny Craig girl told me they are down to the last 7 or 8 and no matter what she REALLY doesn't want that awful grey headed Taylor to win! Serves her right for being so mean to me! :p

lmao, that's funny! :D

[Amy Winette]

The judges are being harsh tonight! They're turning some people who are pretty good down.

[Staxsun]

They found a lot of good people here in Memphis, so you don't see so much of the bizarre stuff. Thusly, some of the people who were close made it on air.

[pokerchick66]

Yea, last night was a lot more fun and the people seemed more normal, lol. The judges seemed happier, too. I liked that one girl - the backup singer. She was good.

[rosetree]

That back-up girl was great!!! Now all she needs is a couple of shots of courage ;) ;)
The big guy at the begining was good too. Simon said he blew Taylor out of the water!!!!

[pokerchick66]

Awww, I missed him. What did he sing?

[tangledupinblue]

Awww, I missed him. What did he sing?

He sang Bobby Blue Bland but not sure of the name of the song. It was really good though. I wonder if Taylor saw that. Simon is a trip!

[pokerchick66]

Ooooh, it's crybaby night on American Idol! Ohhh funny.

And even funnier . . . Ian, Ian, Ian. lmao, hysterical.

[pokerchick66]

Ok, friend #2 was better than friend #1. They were so supportive of each other!

[rosetree]

I agree with Simon, the second one was better!
They've had a few good ones so far...the one who called her dad got to me...snif....

[mdfest]

Hello! Never ventured over here

[pokerchick66]

Hello! Never ventured over here

Wahoo, md and Jim is in the hizouse!

Ok, I liked the girl who worked out for a year. Now that's dedication, lol.

[pokerchick66]

Woohooooo, Birmingham next week, baby!

I think that one is gonna be good. :D

[ScoopJohnD]

Tonight was like the city itself, really good or really annoying, not much in between.

[VWGal]

Agree with you Scoopie :confused: not one of the better AI nights. I bet Birmingham will be much better. Man, the gal on right now is flatter than a pancake...

[VWGal]

Love the gal with the braid who just had a tantrum about the judges being out "drinking ALL NIGHT LONG in NEW YORK CITY!!!" hilarious!

[pokerchick66]

Love the gal with the braid who just had a tantrum about the judges being out "drinking ALL NIGHT LONG in NEW YORK CITY!!!" hilarious!

Yea, she was unique alright. Ian is the one who killed me, lol. Wait till you see the girl at the end.

[Amy Winette]

Ooh, conflict with Friday Night Lights tonight, doesn't look like I missed too too much . . .

[pokerchick66]

Ooh, conflict with Friday Night Lights tonight, doesn't look like I missed too too much . . .

Nah, not really. They showed a lot more good people tonight than the bad. I can't wait till next week.

[VWGal]

I don't think they've got to Ian yet right? We are now on hour #2, gal from Queens with major attitude and the very LooooooooooW rise jeans just got her go to LA card.

[rosetree]

Ian was on at the beginning of the show, with his chinchilla scarf LOL

[VWGal]

dangnabbit, i missed him, but he does sound divine.

[pokerchick66]

Birmingham tonight, peeps.

[pokerchick66]

T-10

[rosetree]

SH*T gotta get home...see ya...

[tangledupinblue]

This poor child!!!

[pokerchick66]

This poor child!!!

She kinda looked like you, blue! She was cute.

[tangledupinblue]

WHO? The girl that talked like a baby doll?

[pokerchick66]

WHO? The girl that talked like a baby doll?

Um . . . no, nevermind! ;)


Big Bird hurt my eyes, though. I can't believe she was 50!

I can't wait to see the next segment coming up with that black girl dissing Randy, lol!

[tangledupinblue]

This is too much. That girl that told about her Dad shooting himself. WOW!

[pokerchick66]

Yea, that was crazy.

Did you notice the slippers? When I first moved up here and saw people going to the courthouse and to Walmart in their slippers I almost fell out.

[tangledupinblue]

NO, I didn't notice that yet. I will now check for that. Slippers....let's start a thread. ha ha.

[pokerchick66]

That was too funny! That girl was going off on Simon and Randy. I've never seen Simon laugh so much, either. And I tell ya, that girl, Nicole, that sang that Bonnie Raitt song was GOOD. I can't believe they didn't let her through. I think she was better than anybody we saw tonight! They let a lot of people through but we didn't really get to hear too many. There was one guy that was kinda cute, too. I guess we'll see them when they get to Hollywood . . .

[bluedog]

This is too much. That girl that told about her Dad shooting himself. WOW! yeah ... did you get a sense that it was too much? I just felt that her story may be a little fabricated ... it may be me though? *waits to be slapped with trout*

Did you notice all the slippers? When I first moved up here and saw people going to the courthouse and to Walmart in their slippers I almost fell out. I did notice the slippers ... LOL!!!!!

That was too funny! That girl was going off on Simon and Randy. I've never seen Simon laugh so much, either. "well I dunno ... maybe it's the floor" OMG!! ROFL that was too funny! I 'bout fell out gurl;)

[pokerchick66]

lmao, that was freaking hysterical! Simon was in a good mood tonight. I just love him. What a fantastic trainwreck that show is.

Oh, and I totally believed that girl. I've met people like that before.

[bluedog]

I've met people like that before too ... maybe just one too many times.
I must learn to give people the benefit of doubt. I can be so critical at times ... sorry.

[pokerchick66]

I've met people like that before too ... maybe just one too many times.

Oh, please, you don't have to apologize, blue! That wasn't critical; just your honest opinion. Don't ever be anything but. :)

[rosetree]

Hey PC, check this out...
http://theblemish.com/2007/01/paula-abdul-being-replaced-by-courtney-love/
now THAT'S a trainwreck!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

[VWGal]

Okay I am one hour behind, but I know now to look for slippers! Rosetree -- love the new addition to your siggy "proud sponsor of the patry" indeed!

[pokerchick66]

Hey PC, check this out...

now THAT'S a trainwreck!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

That's not a trainwreck; that's a nightmare! They would be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.

[rosetree]

PC ...you watching???

[pokerchick66]

OMG, I missed it!

Noooooooooooooooo . . .

[rosetree]

It's on right now girl!!!!!

[pokerchick66]

I'm watching now. Did it not come on until 8?

[rosetree]

Yup 8:00 -9:00 You missed a few looneys

[tangledupinblue]

I just lost it when that older gentleman sang about his wife. Truly caught me off guard.

[rosetree]

So did Paula<snif>
Nice grill on this dude:eek:

[pokerchick66]

I just lost it when that older gentleman sang about his wife. Truly caught me off guard.

I know! Sherman was awesome. That was so sweet and sooo sad. What a class act he was. Brought a tear to my eye, too.

[pokerchick66]

So did Paula<snif>
Nice grill on this dude:eek:

OMG, I could have gone all day without seeing them kiss. That was truly gross. I think I just threw up a little. ;)

[pokerchick66]

Wow, I figured they would be through auditioning this week.

Is it me or is Simon lightening up some?

Also, I heard again on the radio about Courtney Love. I will be so upset if she replaces Paula, even as bad as Paula is. That would be a slap in the face. "Not only are we replacing you, Paula, we're replacing you with an even more frightening trainwreck." What are they thinking? The only thing worse would be replacing her with Brittney Spears!

[rosetree]

Here ya go MARY :p
It was all a vicious rumor---

Oh thank the Good Lord! That would have sucked. Freaky.

Well, you've saved my night twice tonight . . . thanks, Jeff!

[rosetree]

Oh thank the Good Lord! That would have sucked. Freaky.

Good Night....

[rosetree]

Hey Chicky...just a reminder for tonight....;) :D :eek:

[pokerchick66]

Hey Chicky...just a reminder for tonight....;) :D :eek:

Hey baby! I know; I have to keep reminding myself, lol. It's just gonna be the best and worst of, though. Nothing new. I'm ready for them to get to Hollywood. I'm liking the back-up singer the best, too.

[rosetree]

Gotcher back ;)
I thought that it was going to be the best of/worst of auditions that didn't air yet...:eek:

[pokerchick66]

Gotcher back ;)
I thought that it was going to be the best of/worst of auditions that didn't air yet...:eek:

Oh cool!

[pokerchick66]

Oh chit! AI looks like it's gonna be good tonight. They are being brutal. They just cut the entire first row . . .and one girl was really good (Jori)!

lol, now all the other girls are stressing and crying. Simon said, Let that be a warning to the rest of you. No pressure!

[tangledupinblue]

Tears are flying on the show tonight. When it comes down to it, not many of them can perform on the stage like that. Scary I suppose!

[pokerchick66]

Tears are flying on the show tonight. When it comes down to it, not many of them can perform on the stage like that. Scary I suppose!

Man, blue, I am so mad that girl Bailey Brown forgot her words. I thought she was one of the best singers there so far! Man, that sucked.

[rosetree]

So many tears tonight...these kids better toughen up:p
PC I missed the first part..did our backup singer make it through???

[pokerchick66]

So many tears tonight...these kids better toughen up:p
PC I missed the first part..did our backup singer make it through???

Yes, she made it through, I think. It's a miracle if she did, though. They let sooo many good people go. Man, I can't believe they cut some of them. They were brutal.

I really was rooting for Bailey; too bad she just choked. Hopefully, she'll come back next year. And remember the words.

Did tonight seem like lightening round to you?

[Amy Winette]

Aww, crap, Bailey blew it? I'm not there yet. That's too bad :(

[pokerchick66]

Aww, crap, Bailey blew it? I'm not there yet. That's too bad :(

Yea, I'm pizzed about that, too.

[Amy Winette]

The bro and sis who were separated were sad too, what a good boy he was rushing down to comfort his sis

[pokerchick66]

Oh I know! Wasn't that precious?

They just flew through tonight, huh? Boy, Simon was cutting them left and right. I can't wait till tomorrow night. Can you imagine the stress they must go through? I would be so mad if I made it that far and got cut. Thank God I can't sing.

[Amy Winette]

yeah, didn't they used to do a couple of hollywood nights?

[pokerchick66]

yeah, didn't they used to do a couple of hollywood nights?

Well, there is another episode in Hollywood tonight but that's just when they go on that funny elevator and get narrowed down to the final 24.

[tangledupinblue]

Bailey should have taken out a hand grenade and slottered that stuck up B*%#@. I was SO happy to hear that the worst girl went home. She was sickening. Her friend better dump her before she gets into some serious brawls... ha ha

Her quote, "God wants good people or God helps the good people???" I wanted to jump through my tv and strangle her.

[pokerchick66]

Thank you! I would have been right behind you, Rocky. I hated that girl. And what a liar! I don't flirt. I can get any man I want. Pffffffft.

They were so mean to Bailey. And she sang better than both of them put together. Why oh why did she forget her words? I sure do hope she comes back next year.

[tangledupinblue]

I think it is very sad that they allowed that big dude with the goatee to go through when he was "off" on both auditions.
I think they should allow people another chance who have a beautiful voice and forget lines. AFTER ALL, she was grouped with the biggest idiots around. She is not used to being around such FAKO girls like that. I hope that chick gets involved with Howard K. Stern!

[pokerchick66]

ROFLMAO!

I got your back! *spits, kicks off heels*
I keep thinking ... Kharma's a bitch ... what comes around goes around ... and she WILL get her's! Just wait & see!
Can't wait for tonite's show!

[tangledupinblue]

Hey Blue! It's Blue. How are ya? It is hard to see these idiots act so selfish, ya know. See ya in the bar later!

[bluedog]

Hey Blue! It's Blue. How are ya? It is hard to see these idiots act so selfish, ya know. See ya in the bar later!
yeah ... those youngsters just don't get it. Like Allen Toussaint says "help each man be a better man with the kindness that we give" ... pffft that little girl won't make past tonite I bet! *insert evil laugh*

[tangledupinblue]

She was cut last evening. They should have shown her crying to her rich parents..... "why me, why me, MOMMY?"

Ok, I am done with her now.... ha ha.

Bring on AI so we can laugh at Simon.

[bluedog]

she was? I missed that ... damn! would have loved to see her face! serves her right!
Bring on Simon!:D

[pokerchick66]

Omg, tonight was so good. I am so excited! I like the top 24. I think AI is gonna be good this season. They had 1 guy and 1 girl who I can't believe made it but the rest are really good.

Amy, the Indian looking guy (the brother) made it! He's so cute (in a little brother kind of a way) and I'm rooting for him already. I also like it that the Jack Osborne look alike made it, too.

I cannot wait till next week.

I also hear they might have a Michael Jackson week. :eek:

[Amy Winette]

Trying to remember when I got really excited about anyone last year . . . Only standouts to me so far are the Jack Osborne guy and the Indian guy and I think that's more personality than anything. Think I liked Taylor from the try outs last year, trying to remember when I started to like Katherine . . .

lol, I think right around the time Ross did. ;)

Have you packed yet? When do you leave? Are you excited?

I haven't packed yet. :eek:

[pokerchick66]

bumping for Amy.

[tangledupinblue]

HELLO PC????

[pokerchick66]

lol, I'm here. Just put the kiddie to bed. I'm watching.

I like that trendy guy with the blonde spiked hair and the Chris guy who sang Gavin DeGraw and the Jack Osborne guy but only cuz he's funny.

[pokerchick66]

Okay, my two favorites so far are Blake Lewis (Keen guy) and Phil Stacey (the last guy). His little wife was too cute, too.

[rosetree]

....a little gossip before the GRRRLS night tonight....

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17260011/

[pokerchick66]

Cool, Jim; that oughta be fun. I love Gwen Stefani! That would be really cool to see her on there.

Only 10 more minutes till the grrrrrls! I hope they're better than the guys were last night.

[rosetree]

Runnin' home right now to catch it...I'll miss the first one or two, so you'll have to update me ;) :D

[pokerchick66]

Will do, baby!

[tangledupinblue]

Hey there. Excited for this. Quick stop in the bar and grabbed a beer from rosetree and now I am ready!

[pokerchick66]

Hey, that girl in the gray is way hyper, ain't she?

[tangledupinblue]

I missed that... darn

[pokerchick66]

lol, you didn't miss much.

That first girl was AWESOME. I liked her. I hope they're all that good.

[tangledupinblue]

She was damn good. I love seeing the families get all excited.

[ScoopJohnD]

lol, you didn't miss much.

That first girl was AWESOME. I liked her. I hope they're all that good.

First girl was good. The guys were horrible, all of em. And now this one doin Aretha is bad. Really bad.

[tangledupinblue]

Yea, they need to weed out more than one a night. ha ha.

[pokerchick66]

She was cute, though. I liked what she had on.

[ScoopJohnD]

She was cute, though. I liked what she had on.

A little Shakira type outfit definitely would have helped her singing.

[ScoopJohnD]

Now Sabrina was really good.

[tangledupinblue]

This one is SO OFF...

[ScoopJohnD]

This one is SO OFF...

Jersey is out of the picture. What can she do better? How bout stay on key.

[tangledupinblue]

HA HA HA SCOOP. I love it!!!

[ScoopJohnD]

I liked Jordin.

[pokerchick66]

Jordin was AWESOME! Seems like all the black girls are on tonight.

[tangledupinblue]

Very good for a young Lass. She doesn't seem to have stage fright much at all. Great voice.

PC, are you practicing ballroom dancing? Where are you Mama?

[ScoopJohnD]

This one was bad.

[tangledupinblue]

Horrible song choice...

[rosetree]

Why do they choose Aretha or Chaka Kahn, Chaka Kahn, or even Celine when they don't compare????

[tangledupinblue]

I know, so stupido... the show has only been on 5 years. don't they learn?

[rosetree]

.....like yea-ah :confused:

[rosetree]

...now we'll see if the back-up singer can do Aretha...you go girl....she was my fave in the previous shows

[pokerchick66]

lmao, yall are so funny! This last girl was almost too self-assured. And Celine doesn't turn me on. I wouldn't sing Celine and I'm 40.

[ScoopJohnD]

This last one showed some skin, so she's okay in my book. : ) (Hey, it's why I loved Katherine McPhee last year......you may all oink away at me.) But the song sucked and she does sound like a Broadway singer.

My advice.....a little black leather outfit next time and some rock n roll.

[pokerchick66]

OINK! OINK!

lol, I love you just the way you are, Scoopie.

[tangledupinblue]

I am not sure about this tune she picked....

[rosetree]

still like her!!! Her stage presence has improved greatly.

[tangledupinblue]

Fantastic. lover

[ScoopJohnD]

Now Melinda showed how to sing. she was excellent!!! And even the worst girls blow away all the guys........well except the one from Jersey.

[pokerchick66]

Melinda was definitely a firecracker and one of if not the best yet.

I'm gonna make the first prediction. The winner will definitely be a sista this year. I like Melinda and Jordin so far.

She kinda reminded me of Macy Gray in a way. But better.

[ScoopJohnD]

OINK! OINK!

lol, I love you just the way you are, Scoopie.

I call em like I see em. If you remember PC, last year my advice for katherine McPhee was to dump the frumpy outfits. She did, and made it to the finals.

[rosetree]

I'm with you PC ;) They are the best so far.....

[rosetree]

how off-key is this girl????:eek: :eek:

[ScoopJohnD]

This one could be naked and it wouldn't help. Oh my gawd was that bad.

[rosetree]

Simon said she can rely on her looks....so gettin nekid might help ;) :p

[tangledupinblue]

All by myself....

[ScoopJohnD]

All by myself....

A little pitchy there Blue.......and I don't really think that's the right song for you.

[tangledupinblue]

WOW, I got tears in my eyes on that

[rosetree]

WOW....looks like we are going to have a catfight on AI!!! Three grrrls brought it tonight..

[ScoopJohnD]

I like LaKisha......she can REALLY sing and she just seems like a real good person.

[pokerchick66]

OMG WHAT A POWERHOUSE!

That girl is badazz. I agree with Simon. The rest can go home.

Go Lakishaaaaa!!!

And I love it that it was her daughter's birthday today. From one single mom to another . . .SING IT SISTAAAAA!!

[tangledupinblue]

That is nice PC MAMA. Very cool. Love yall. I may go to da bar for one....

[rosetree]

Goin through the wrap-up, I see a final between Lakeisha and Melinda....

[pokerchick66]

lol, final four:

Lakisha
Melinda
Jordin
Stephanie

[pokerchick66]

Okay folks, here it is. An encore presentation of Miss Lakisha Jones knockout performance from last night:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhgF3NP99s4

[tangledupinblue]

Here we go..............

[rosetree]

It doesn't matter for these dudes...they're fighting for 3rd at best!!!

[tangledupinblue]

How the heck did that kid even get this far? He was horrible.

[rosetree]

I sing that song better in my car!!!!:D ;) :eek:

[tangledupinblue]

Exactly Rosetree. I just started singing it in my kitchen and I really blew him away. LOL!

[rosetree]

She's a "gone pecan"...Isn't she the one that Scoop said wouldn't get his vote if she was nekid?

[tangledupinblue]

HA HA. Where the heck is Scoop? Too funny

[rosetree]

I was just thinking the same thing...and PC must have stepped away with the chicklet....

[tangledupinblue]

OR Chicklet wanted to use the computer!!!
Quincy looks good.

[pokerchick66]

No, my computer was having issues.

Fixed now.

I don't want to hear Fantasia sing.

I want to hear Lakisha sing.

[rosetree]

I don't know, I just don't like Fantasia...she is slurs her s's to sh's and I can't get past that...and the screaming thing....

[rosetree]

Welcome back Har!...

[tangledupinblue]

I am with ya both. Not a fan of Fantasia at all. Rosetree, you crack me up with the lisp or rather slur thing...

[tangledupinblue]

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT DAMN JERSEY GIRL IS STILL IN?? WHAT THE HECK!

[rosetree]

just wait a week and the hook will get her!!!
This girl made the fatal mistake of trying a Chaka Kahn, Chaka Kahn song too early in the competition :eek:

[rosetree]

blah, blah, blah...go home....
I'm heading for da bar...
This is Rosetree..out!!!

[pokerchick66]

I don't know, I just don't like Fantasia...she is slurs her s's to sh's and I can't get past that...and the screaming thing....

Never have been a fan of hers. She doesn't impress me.

I think Sanjaya should have gone home over the Free Ride guy. Sanjaya was TERRIBLE!

However, I am pumped that Gwen Stefani is gonna be on the show. That's my girl.

[pjpjpjpj]

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT DAMN JERSEY GIRL IS STILL IN?? WHAT THE HECK!

She'll be out soon.... BIG Idol news, spreading all over the web today. Antonella's "friends" (heh, not for long) have apparently dumped all their private photos of her all over the web - including pics apparently of her "servicing" her ex-boyfriend, some modeling-looking pics with her in a fountain in a wet (see-thru) tshirt, and pics of her drinking (underage), etc., etc. There are even rumors that she made a nude calendar for that ex-boyfriend and that he's about to leak it to the internet.

So, thankfully, she's done.

Just do a simply web search of "Antonella Barba pics" and you'll find it.

[rosetree]

....more Idol news..

http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=252817&GT1=7703

I wonder if they can get Ms. Ross to sing with Ms. Hudson??? I'd pay to see that! Does Jon Bon Jovi really need Idol? Mabe he can show the boys how it's done...LOL

[pokerchick66]

lmao, omg, Kelli Pickler. Poor thing.

And yes, somebody needs to show the boys SOMETHING. Blake Lewis and Phil Stacey are about the only ones that might be contenders.

[Corona]

well HERE's the damn AI thread lol!!!!! Okay, now I know. I haven't followed too much so far. But at least I know where you are for when I do! :)

[pokerchick66]

Well, thank Gawd. It's about damn time, girl!

I was wondering why the hell you weren't coming on here. Corona, wait till you see Lakisha. You're gonna love her.

[Amy Winette]

HI!!! Watched the boys on TiVo, no real stand outs, didn't see the girls, don't know any of em by name yet. The Lakisha video was taken down so I couldn't check it out . . .

Trying to get caught up on the board, I'm scared!

[pokerchick66]

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

lol, the girls were 10x better than the boys. So sorry you missed Lakisha.

[VWGal]

Girls, I missed huge chunks of AI this week, but thought the boys were darn pitiful. But that Lakisha, she's the one to beat! I got goosebumps during her performance...

[rosetree]

Goofball!!!!! Where y'at????
AI's on and Paula is slurring here words!:eek:

[tangledupinblue]

I am here and ready to go....PC???? HELLO

[tangledupinblue]

Is Paula drunk? She IS acting a bit strange...

[rosetree]

Is Paula drunk? She IS acting a bit strange...
That's what I was SAYIN'!!!!!!:eek:

[rosetree]

This poor baby just doesn't have it...Sanjaya pack your bags.....

[tangledupinblue]

Her eyes look really glassy, right? AND Simon must know as well because he keeps trying to get past her...

[pokerchick66]

Sanjaya sucks.

Jim, you know I have ballroom dance class on Tuesday night. :)

[tangledupinblue]

This poor baby just doesn't have it...Sanjaya pack your bags.....

He is so quiet!!!

[pokerchick66]

He's gotta go.

[rosetree]

Sanjaya sucks.

Jim, you know I have ballroom dance class on Tuesday night. :)

Sorry sweetie, let me catch you up...
O.k
Tried to be Marvin
Forgetable
blah, blah, blah.....noone yet rose up with the balls to beat the girls;)
All caught up now....

[tangledupinblue]

I have more fun with Ryan and Simon....they crack me up the most!

[pokerchick66]

Sorry sweetie, let me catch you up...
O.k

lmao! I like Chris Richardson and the beatbox boy (Blake Lewis). Has Phil Stacey come on yet?

Thanks for catching me up, Jeff.

[Priestboy]

thanks, also, rosetree, for the update! didn't catch it tonight (on the road again...), but am not surprised over slurrin' paula! poor gurl...she hasn't been the same since she charted w/"forever your girl"!:eek:

[rosetree]

All in all, the boys brought it up a notch (except Sanjaya). They have the unfortunate task of going up a girl line-up that looks too good to beat.

[NYMAMA]

He's gotta go.I agree Sanjay has to go. Are they sending 2 guys and 2 girls home again this week? I think Antonella will be paking her bags this week also.

[tangledupinblue]

I agree Sanjay has to go. Are they sending 2 guys and 2 girls home again this week? I think Antonella will be paking her bags this week also.

She better be. I am not getting how she got voted through. Well, look at Jennifer Hudson....

[Priestboy]

Anyone in the AI hizzouse yet??? HELLO????

[Corona]

Anyone in the AI hizzouse yet??? HELLO????
whew! I'm here and just put it on.....what'd I miss? Is it just the girls tonight? Haven't watched this week yet....hey PB!

[Priestboy]

whew! I'm here and just put it on.....what'd I miss? Is it just the girls tonight? Haven't watched this week yet....hey PB!

hey, corona...just the grrls tonite! guys went last night (missed it!), but tonight...'let's hear it for the girl" Gina just went...Randy said she was "good, but pitchy" (there's that word again!), Simon was "confused" as to who she was! a***h***!

[La Ti Da]

is it my imagination or did they just play "big chief" as background music on one of those commercials????!! (Secret?)

[Priestboy]

is it my imagination or did they just play "big chief" as background music on one of those commercials????!! (Secret?)

missed that one, la...

[ScoopJohnD]

whew! I'm here and just put it on.....what'd I miss? Is it just the girls tonight? Haven't watched this week yet....hey PB!

The first girl just screeched 'What About Love' the Heart tune. And now the one that butchered the Pretenders last week is mangling the Dixie Chicks. Key to this one, the background singers are drowning her out in the chorus.

[Priestboy]

alana...see ya, girl!

[ScoopJohnD]

"What do you think I should do"? SING ON KEY !!!!

[Priestboy]

look out...here comes lakisha - will she soar again or 'crash and burn'???

[Corona]

"What do you think I should do"? SING ON KEY !!!!
oh man, I love this song and she's soooooo good!!! :)

[Corona]

hey, corona...just the grrls tonite! guys went last night (missed it!), but tonight...'let's hear it for the girl" Gina just went...Randy said she was "good, but pitchy" (there's that word again!), Simon was "confused" as to who she was! a***h***!
what a jack-ass he is! Thanks for the update PB
Hey Lis and Scoop....hi everyone!

[rosetree]

she was better last week.....

[Priestboy]

she was better last week.....

yeah, she was, but still the best so far (not saying much, i know!)

[Corona]

is it my imagination or did they just play "big chief" as background music on one of those commercials????!! (Secret?)
hmmm....missed it....really? Did it really sound like that?

[Priestboy]

TOO COLORFUL??? HUH??? SIMON GIVING FASHION ADVICE????

[rosetree]

y'know, people get on Simon's case but usually he is spot on..

[Corona]

y'know, people get on Simon's case but usually he is spot on..
I think so too BUT his delivery could be a bit softer....but I do think he's right a lot.

[rosetree]

Someone needs to wake up PC or give her a TV Guide!;) :p
Corona...good to see ya in here girl!

[Priestboy]

Love this song!! Let's see what she does with it!

[Corona]

Love this song!! Let's see what she does with it!
Man that chick was soooooooooo good. She's got some serious pipes. Lekeisha and Melinda....love them!

[rosetree]

Melinda has been my favorite since Memphis!!!

[Priestboy]

better than lakisha!

[ScoopJohnD]

My prediction is that the young girl (18) from last week is gonna be the big one tonight.

[La Ti Da]

I like this girl, Melinda - wasn't she the one who is a backup singer? she is great!


(Hi everyone!)

[Priestboy]

better than lakisha!

...and i loooove lakisha!!

[Corona]

Antonella's pretty sucky huh?

Nice comments from Simon :)

[ScoopJohnD]

Melinda was excellent!

[La Ti Da]

.Randy said she was "good, but pitchy" (there's that word again!),

yeah what does that mean, anyway?

[Priestboy]

Antonella's pretty sucky huh?

Nice comments from Simon :)


she's up next...singing Celine Dion - should be interesting!:eek:

[ScoopJohnD]

"Coming up Antonella sings Celine".............oh gawd. Dogs all over America will be howling along.

[rosetree]

Why prolong this???
Just let Lakesha and Melinda go head-to head for the next few weeks and be done with it!!!:D
....well at least Paula isn't drunk tonight!:eek:

[Priestboy]

[Corona]

LIS, you still there? oops, Latida.....you were right! Ibjamn heard the same thing :)

[Priestboy]

"pick a new song"?? how about pick a new dress! yikes!

[Corona]

omg, kill me....I friggin HATE Celine....this is a nightmare combination. I gotta go have a smoke....lol....back in a bit....

[rosetree]

She might stay on 'cause of her looks, not her singing....

[Priestboy]

ugh! what was THAT!!!
