American Idol 2007--Live Thread (Part II)

If Idol is going to shovel this particular kind of BS every season, then this is the last season I will be watching.

Oh, I couldn't agree more. The very idea of people helping people is just so offensive. Children watch this show....they may start to think it's okay to care about others! This is an outrage!

Who is Heather Mills?

Paul McCartney's ex.

[silent_jonny]

So the answer is yes, although I'm sure some of them really are little budding Leftists anyway.

Some of the things the Idols said about "this country" last night really bothered me. It had a derogatory tone.

A quick rewrite

Imagine there’s no welfare
It’s easy if you try
No hands in your pockets
Trying to make you cry
Imagine all the people
Earning their own way...

Imagine there’s no crime
No pedophilia either
No crooked politicians
And no race baiting too
Imagine all the people
Relying on themselves...

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
God gave us guidelines
Told us what to do.....

Imagine border patrol
Allowed to do its job.
No need for illegals
To become a mob
Imagine all the people
Respecting sovereignty...

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
God gave us guidelines
Told us what to do.....

Did you hear Ryan say, “It could be the most important call you’ll ever make”? Judging by the look on his face even he thought it was stupid the second it was out of his mouth. He should have said, “Barring 911 calls, because those are pretty important.”

LOL!

Tonight’s show sure was depressing, however I generally like the show. I do find myserlf wondering how these so called super gifted docs missed the fact that the girls had a staph infection.

These guys are too used to looking for the unexpected. I think it was just a case of not being able to see the forest for the trees. It was also a reminder that little things can kill you, too.

I was wondering the same thing! Why are people supposingly starving?? Because their parents are drinking and drugging away the money? I’ve never seen a single mom on welfare that wasn’t under 300 pounds. It’s all a crock....

I've seen lots of them under 300 pounds. Trouble is that they usually have fancy clothes while the kids are dressed in rags. I know of people on the system that are capable of working but choose not to, so they draw and they are alcoholics besides. I truly resent our taxes supporting someone else's vices, whatever they may be.

Remember when Simon said “I think 23 people should buy tickets home” regarding LaKisha. She’s never been that good since.

I think the AOL poll has Chris at the bottom, too. Maybe he will be the one leaving.

[StrictTime]

LOL! I love Morrissey’s “Bona Drag” album. He makes it fun to want to kill yourself! : ) What I would do to hear someone sing “Hairdresser on Fire” on Idol....!! Sanjaya would have been perfect.

[Sloopy]

Brilliant! I love it.

“What I would do to hear someone sing “Hairdresser on Fire” on Idol....!! Sanjaya would have been perfect.”

LMFAO!!! That would have been friggin hilarious!

Morrissey is a talent. You have to take it as the “fun” side of manic depression...;-)

[Wyatt's Torch]

Very good. That an original work?

[Netizen]

As original as you can be when doing a parody! lol

From zabasearch

Phil, LaKisha and Chris are the bottom three. Final results posted later.

*Sanjaya did not get the fewest votes last week. He may have gotten the least votes counted, but not the least votes cast.

[Netizen]

Sooo, the question is, IS American Idol obligated to count all votes?

Sucky was a crappy singer, BUT, should all of his votes been counted?

I’m hoping zabasearch elaborates regarding Sucky. If AI falsified his numbers, then they can do it for others.

[Netizen]

There’s supposed to be a bog duet tonight. Articles claim it is Celine and Elvis. Elvis? It just occured to me that with ‘Imagine’ being their anthem, they should have the duet be Celine and Lennon. Not that I’d watch that either! lol

[Wyatt's Torch]

“I’m hoping zabasearch elaborates regarding Sucky. If AI falsified his numbers, then they can do it for others.”

It has been documented that they mess with the votes. Last year (at least) they had the official rules on the website and now that is gone. It said that the producers reserved the right to discard any “power votes”...with no real definition of what that was. In other words, they have a great deal of leeway.

[Wyatt's Torch]

“It just occured to me that with ‘Imagine’ being their anthem, they should have the duet be Celine and Lennon.”

Just change it to Lenin and it would be more accurate...not sure if he could sing though...;-)

[conservativebabe]

There is no way Melinda can be in the bottom 2. That’s crazy.
