always for Tammy

[misterrob]

Most guys do. I still have hair up top but less so than I did 10 years ago.

My wife likes me smooth up top.

We all know the routine by now. Say Taylor sings 2nd out of 4 people. That means his numbers will be #2 and #6. Gosh that was so hard.

[A knight without armor]

We know it is a TV show. We are just having fun talking to each other about a common interest.

[EmilyGeiger]

I missed Glenn Beck today. :( I had to sub at the school and when his time came on I thought to myself "I bet Glenn is talking about Chris today." Who is he rooting for now?

[misterrob]

I was talking about the blocks of voters who have such outrage that they are motivated to support another contestant just to get even with a third one or the show producers.

Hey, they kind of sound like pissed off Al Gore voters when you come to think about it.

[A knight without armor]

Hey, I'm not a human calculator here like you are. I just get Taylor's first number and then put it in my phone and relax until voting time. I like hearing Taylor's voice on the vote recording. Go Taylor! Go Taylor! Go Taylor!

[A knight without armor]

LOL!

They probably ARE Al Gore voters still in convulsions.

[TonyWpi]

Beck likes Taylor. But he said he's trying to get Chris Daughtry on his show (Both TV and radio). I hope he does. That would be cool.

Too bad you missed his opening today. It was great. He spent most of the show talking about Idol today too.

"Why didn't the Chris fans vote for him" was his theme.

I was talking about the blocks of voters who have such outrage that they are motivated to support another contestant just to get even with a third one or the show producers.

I doubt such a "block" exists. There may be a couple of people spouting off, but that doesn't mean it's a big ground swell.

Just like I fail to see the "sore loser" actions of Chris. He was asked if he was suprised. Yes, he was. A LOT of people were.

[Netizen]

This is from Wolfstar's post on the preceding page:

Dorothy Lucey (a big-time Dim liberal, BTW, ugh!) asked him what happens now. Does he go home for a visit? That sort of thing. After the hint about big things to come, Chris said he didn't know if he'd have time to get home because rehearsals for the finale start soon. Lucey asked him how his wife felt. Chris said his wife took it really well, and that she was the one who calmed Chris down, not the other way around.

Notice he says that his wife had to CALM HIM DOWN.

[Netizen]

I find you get through more often using the second number. hint hint :)

[A knight without armor]

Yeah, as in calling the police and them making him walk around the block a couple times or go to the hoosgow overnight.

[Netizen]

Hey, they kind of sound like pissed off Al Gore voters when you come to think about it.

Exactly. I almost mentioned that earlier today when I posted about how some of them want to get back at the guys that did so well by teaming up with the gal that messed up her lyrics and still beat their guy.

[misterrob]

"Gee Chris, you have just busted your ass for the past 3 months. We have told you that you are likely to be in the finals..."

BANG

"You are finished."

"How do you feel?"

How the F is the guy supposed to react?



And yes, they are just pockets of people but they exist and you know that they do.

[RobFromGa]

Taylor should pick Gregg Allman- "I'm No Angel" and do it a little rougher than his normal voice.

[EmilyGeiger]

You know considering that people are willing to shell out big bucks for his old c.d.s on ebay that should make Simon happy. I heard a woman in Japan say that she is flying stateside this weekend to stay for 2 weeks just to be able to vote for Taylor!!! She called in on the Glenn Beck show. He was shocked, said what's that going to cost you just to make two phone calls. I've heard story after story like that, so I can't help feeling frustration with these jerks who say he's going to cost Simon. If they would leave him alone to record his stuff he should do well. Thanks for letting me vent. :)

"Gee Chris, you have just busted your ass for the past 3 months. We have told you that you are likely to be in the finals..."

BANG

"You are finished."

"How do you feel?"

What part of "you're in the bottom two" didn't he understand?

[Senator Goldwater]

I'd like to hear Tay-Tay do some Gregg.

Bice did a nice "Whipping Post", but Tay-Tay's got more soul.

[EmilyGeiger]

LOL, that last picture is a hoot. That's great, glad to hear she did that.

[silent_jonny]

Hard to figure why Paris stayed and Mandisa was gone.

I think it was a combination of her weight, two weeks of bad song choices and a less than flattering choice of clothes that failed Mandisa.

But Mandisa's weight didn't bother me. Sure it was noticeable, especially when she wore jeans (why Mandisa!? :), but she was so radiant in every other way that her size wasn't important. She never made it important.

This is one of my favorite pics that I have of her. She's beautiful! :o She brought a lot of grace to the show and I wish she could've gone further than she did.
