LIVE THREAD

Darn it, I watch the Apprentice on Thursdays..the shows will overlap....

It's early for my tin foil hat, but...the person who "caused" the error" probably just got a six figure bonus check.. The ratings will be a bonanza, AND an extra night, and Fox is going to put their new show...a comedy..Life on a Stick ..in a special debut position right AFTER the 30 minute show Thursday night..giving it a lead in of what, 35 million or so..folks, this ain't no "mistake".....

One saving grace, no one has as yet blamed Bush..

Don't be surprised if Mikayla hangs around a couple more weeks - teenage girls who admire her self-confidence are going to keep voting for her

I agree. There's always a difference between my scorecard and the vote, usually due to popularity issues. After all, how far beyond their talent did the two Hawaiian girls stick around last year, due only to the large and organized Hawaiian voting bloc?

Nonetheless, already being in the bottom two from last week and performign worse this week, I'll put her certainly in the bottom three, and she is my pick to go home this week. Jessica was a surprise in the bottom three last week, but might show up there again. Look for Constantine or Vonzell to join them.

Darn you - I was just about to post my Bush/Diebold conspiracy theory...

Listened to the show without watching..just the vocals..Jessica was clearely the best....and GREAT song choice for her..just oulled out my Bonnie Tyler CD..hadn't played it in a while..gawd, what a magnificent voice...BTWE..Jessica reminded me more of Kim Carnes..."Betty Davis Eyes"..and she should sing THAT song next..

[kevkrom]

Well, Rove, actually (and his mind-control rays).

just the vocals..Jessica was clearely the best

I'll have to disagree, mostly because of the awful arrangement -- it made her sound choppy and disconnected. When she had a rhthym going, she sounded great, but the rest of it was distracting.

[ken5050]

I know jack..I didn't even recognize half the songs last night, so maybe I was responding to the fact that she sang one of my favorites..BTW..do you think she should sing Betty Davis Eyes?

[kevkrom]

do you think she should sing Betty Davis Eyes?

That should work for her. The song Carrie did (Heart's "Alone") would also work well for Jessica.

Thanks a lot. I had just recently been able to block memories of that awful Jasmine from my memory.

[conservativebabe]

Thanks for the udpdate.

Go Carrie!

Are they all going to "re-sing" tonight or are they just going to show the performances from Tuesday night again?

I'm confused.

[Samwise]

Thanks for the info!

[StrictTime]

I know why I don't like Jessica's look...she has NO neck. Seriously, her head is sprouting from her shoulders. I know she can't help it, but it bugs me anyway.

Now, I do see where she has her hair BLACK under the blonde layer on top to give her the apperance of having a neck. They have awesome stylists on the show...

[StrictTime]

Thanks Silent!

This was the first I'd heard of this. I think they had a party before the show last night, judging from Paula's outrageous behavior and the voting screw up...

Sorry I couldn't get on the thread last night, but I have a 5 year-old I have to get to bed right after the show...

[Auntbee]

Could you add me to the AI ping list. House, too if there is one. Thanks.

I'm confused.

I think they're going to "re-sing" the show, but you're right, the info from the AI site is confusing. It would be nice, though, if they could sing different songs, but that might be asking too much.

Only for the first half-hour :)

My daughter is going to a Kelly Clarkson concert next month. This will be the second live concert she has gone to of Kelly's.

She says she puts on a very good show.

[texasflower]

I watch House also. I like it.

[texasflower]

I thought she was under the influence as well and so did both of my daughters.
