for Tammy

[kevkrom]

The guy is singing CHER!!! He sounds just like her

And that's not a compliment. :)

[kevkrom]

He sings Cher, Judy Garland and he's CLEARLY gay. Yet, he's offended when Simon says to become a female impersonator. Dude, you're already there!

I think he has a "problem" with women.

[kevkrom]

There is just no word in the English language to describe the gayness of this guy.

But "GIC" comes close.

[kevkrom]

Another of Carrie. I don't like the way she's dressed.

I agree. She should take that off immediately and put on... well... "nothing" would be fine by me. :)

[silent_jonny]

Morning, Wolfstar :)

Bo looks a 100% better than he did a few weeks ago. Hopefully he can finally put his health problems behind him and resume his promo tour.

[silent_jonny]

These aren't the greatest pictures of Carrie that I've ever seen ...

I can't say anything else about it without sounding catty :) But she usually dresses better than this.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

This is just awful. Why do these girls, especially ones so young, want to look like....well, so slutty. I really hate seeing this. What is all that crap around her wrists. So sad.

Becky

[silent_jonny]

WOW!

This is the polar opposite of Carrie. I don't think I've ever seen Kelly look better! Drop-dead gorgeous. (I'm saving these pics! :-D)

[silent_jonny]

MY EYES!

You had me mesmerized with those Kelly pics then you dropped an ugly bomb on me! No need for a cold shower now :)

This is someone named Steve. I don't know who Steve is

It's Steven Tyler from Aerosmith. Father of actress Liv Tyler.

[silent_jonny]

Kelly looks lovely in the photos, but that dress is doing her no favors

I strongly disagree! :-P

[silent_jonny]

I'd have rather they had a longer episode and showed us a good chunk of the other 32.

Absolutely. The auditions this year seemed to be extra freaky. They needed to be balanced with talent.

[silent_jonny]

Why do these girls, especially ones so young, want to look like....well, so slutty.

I wouldn't call it slutty. As tacky as the dress is, it covers her completely. The dress is just outdated.

What is all that crap around her wristsIt's part of the jungle theme of the dress. Large Xena-like bracelets.

[silent_jonny]

Just for that ugly bomb, here's a pic of Clive Davis apparently kissing Fantasia on the mouth :)

(*evil laugh*) :-D

[retrokitten]

LOL!!

Do you ever listen to Tony Snow's radio show? They have a new sponser- Home DNA Testing Kits. I couldn't believe it the first time I heard it. For some reason the Tony Snow audience doesn't seem like a demographic that would have a lot of baby mamas. But now we can put it to use! :-D

[Wolfstar]

You had me mesmerized with those Kelly pics then you dropped an ugly bomb on me! No need for a cold shower now. Just for that ugly bomb, here's a pic of Clive Davis apparently kissing Fantasia on the mouth.

1) LOL! Thanks for telling me who Steve is. I knew his pic would shake things up.

2) Fantasia and Clive, barf. Fantasia is looking AWFUL, and what on earth is she wearing? It's draping in all the wrong places.

3) No question that, just on pure classical looks, Carrie is the prettiest girl ever to come off AI so far. I hope she develops a better sense of style, although to be fair, maybe she just wanted to be funky last night. Unfortunately, that look could send the wrong message in a room full of on-the-make sharks.

4) Speaking of on-the-make sharks, Kelly arrived with her own bodyguard. She began using bodyguards during her tour last year. The folks over at KCE pointed out her bodyguard in one of the photos taken at the party. So any guy -- and I guess, in these times -- dyke -- with fast hands last night was at risk of having them bruised.

[Wolfstar]

So glad to see Bo looking healthy! Good news. Thanks for posting all that.

You're welcome. Bo still looks pale, but he's put weight back on and looks a lot better than he did a couple of months ago.

Re Kelly's dress, I've never been a fan of strapless dresses. I do like the simplicity and color of that dress, and the red ribbon accent. I'm enjoying watching her sense of style develop. So far, anyway, she's been going toward elegant simplicity with a youthful funkiness. She's come a long way in four years from that slightly awkward, dorky, newly turned 20-year-old with zero fashion sense who won the first AI.

[Wolfstar]

Cute photo of Kelly and Bo at last night's party. I think this is the first time they met, and they both seem really happy.

[Wolfstar]

Kelly performing at the party last night. Notice that, in a room full of H'weird sharks, she chose to prominantly wear a Christian cross on a long chain. (BTW, she performed 'Walk Away' which is now in the top 10 and still rising; the 5th hit off 'Breakaway'.)

[ken5050]

She looks like Fay Dunaway playing Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest..

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

I strongly disagree! :-P

Ah, yes ... the male perspective! Just don't drool on the screen. :)

But I can't help looking at it from *my* perspective ... as someone who worked as a stitcher, fitter, dresser in pro theater and dance for several years, I look at a strapless dress that's cut like that and all I see is a big "OOPS!" in front of an audience, waiting to happen! LOL!
