I wasn’t going to watch after tonight if Jordin went home because I know that couldn’t be possible. That was so mean to do it that way.
You’re right. I found the whole thing distasteful. Don’t get me wrong; charitable giving is wonderful, but this is not the venue.
You can add a zero on that 20 for me to make it at least 200. My daughters a bagpiper and she started doing funerals when she was 11 or 12. She has done fire fighters,police, military, Scots and those who just love bagpipes. Personally, I prefer the weddings. It is hard to believe that someone could attend so few funerals.
Yeah, just proves that Rush is right. All the liberal anti-poverty programs are a big scam. LBJ was a con artist.
That is such total BS. I'm glad I didn't have to watch, because I would have thrown something through the TV.
Taylor was awesome! It was worth every penny. His energy fills the entire place up. He did the song, "Hell of a Day" off "Under the Radar" and put "Another Brick in the Wall" by Pink Floyd in the middle of it. It brought the house down! It was totally unexpected and so freakin cool! It was a really great time.
There are organizations that I trust that I give money to, but this isn’t one of them.
I live in California too, and I cheat every single week! LOL but like you, reading this kept me from wasting time watching the show tonight. I am so disappointed in Idol this year!
I skipped the show tonite. Simon can donate some of his forty million dollar salary in my name.
RE: NO ONE IS ELIMINATED!
——it is clear that the Judges pretty much know and want Jordin to be the Idol. That is precisely why they set her up to be the false eliminee in the final segment, where the “shocker” they’d been talking about was finally “revealed”. This show just never stops finding new things to tweak, new ways to exploit emotions, and you actually have to admire it. The scenario they actually played on for several minutes last night was the possibility, then the shocking “actuality” that Jordin was eliminated , ALL IN ORDER TO SHOCK HER CONSIDERABLE FAN BASE INTO VOTING FOR HER AS MUCH AND AS OFTEN AS THEY CAN.
and “NOW MORE THAN EVER” they will.
I was absolutely positive it would be Blake would go tonight, and I came home halfway through the show, and my wife told me Blake was already “safe”. I suspected something was up right about then.
Ore. gov. starts week on food stamps
These people need t oget in touch with Idol and Simon and the food bank where you can buy a whole bag of groceries for $1.
Once I saw Jordin seemingly let in bottom 2 and not Kiki along with Chris...I knew all would be staying on till another show...
Yes, I’ll give S M that he is a very good sport about everything.
He seems to let it all roll(negative comments) off.
I’m glad he is able to do so...’cause there sure have been many negative reactions to deal with.
Gee for someone who sang a good audition to what unfolded/unraveled at the seams re: vocals/hairdo.
I’m still puzzled...
TY 4 the BIG BLUE PUNCTUATION SMILEY!
I heard that 2 were going next week not the usual 1.
I know that I know that I know I heard that.
let=I meant left.
I suspect he has an agent or a publicist or some kind of advisor working with him on this. When it comes to fame, there's really no such thing as bad publicity. A good agent could help him leverage his name recognition (he has more than some Pres. candidates) beyond his allotted 15 min/ AI season. I can see him doing children's shows in the future... along the lines of The Wiggles.
Just reading the thread now..I have to tell youi, my dear Fawn, that if I was on the gurney, about to be cut open, and the people about to do the cutting were gossiping about Sanjaya..I’d have jumped up and left...
