He's a classy kid and I hope he has a bright future making music.
I've been stuck on taylor for a few weeks. Not at first, but soon I was hooked.
Wall to wall. 2 within less than 2 miles and a third maybe 4 miles away. My area of Richmond is white bread suburbia!!!
That is how my husband was at first, too. He was really distracted by his dancing.
Again, you are missing my point. Just because he is the greatest thing since sliced bread doesn't mean that Elliot should lower himself to work with the guy. A decent person who cares about race baiting should avoid this West guy like the plague.
It would be like having tea with Herr Hitler.
I just reminded my husband about how he didn't like Taylor at first and he accused me of making it up. LOL!!
This year all the kids had something special.
Although actually of Sephardic (through her father) and Ashkenazi (through her mother) Jewish descent, Abdul bears an Arabic surname and is commonly thought by the public to be of African-American or mixed-race descent. In an Ebony Magazine interview she says: "I'm Syrian-Brazilian-Canadian-American. I've had a lot of Black kids come up to me and say, 'You are Black! There's no way, no way [you are not Black],' and that's all right with me".

And I just remembered telling my daughter that I didn't like the gray haired guy! LOLOL......I don't dare tell her I'm in love tho, she'll have me committed.
No, I'm not and frankly this is your issue. But if it makes you happy I'll go track him down and tell him not to work with one of music's biggest people because of his politics.
The Hitler comparison is over the top.
LOL!!!
He's still accusing me of lying. He said, "I would never say I didn't like him!" LOL!!!
If mom is Jew, then so aren't you since Jews are both a race and religion.
They did answer it, but thanks anyway. I always thought that's what they were for, but wasn't certain.
>>>For the record, her family did show great pleasure when Elliott was announced as the one going home whereas Taylor's family sat there quite subdued. Plenty of other people have commented on it as well.<<<
I was pleased to see on FOXnews all day today, whenever they discussed AI, the video clip of the three familes' reactions were shown.
I wonder if FOXnews is trying to influence next week's votes with that.
That was really cute. Thanks for sharing it!
Looks aren't everything. When I listen to a cd, I'm not concerned what the singer looks like.
I replied back, "I never thought I would see the day you were cheering on an AI contestant!" He sort of was pulling for Carrie Underwood last season, but I think that had more to do with her being cute and blonde. ;-)
Paula is Jewish , but most people think she is an arab because of her surname. Her dad is a Jew orginally from Syria. Sephardim refers to Jews who came from Moslem dominated countries and Spain.
Actually, Eliot was unattractive because of an unflattering haircut. Now that it is styled, he really is pretty good looking. Now if he will have his teeth fixed. . .
