Hope to see Alabama's Gulf Coast represented!
Girl needs some serious discipline and looks like Simon, Paula and Randy were the first to ever tell her NO.
I'd be mortified if my daughter behaved like that... and she'd be mighty lonely and without communication for a month or so.
heck, halfway through it I quit.....when I’m sitting here watching it every night I answered probably 75% of them but last night’s was ROUGH!!! Guess I’m dumber then I think!
Wonder why AI does so much post production work on a girl that they knew sucked? I mean, going out to her family’s meat shop, interviewing the parents? All that had to have occured after the girl had already been in front of the judges.
I saw it but couldn’t get online. Kids think they should be able to use the computer too. Selfish brats :)
Not sure how many are left but there are episodes scheduled for 2/5 & 2/6.
From the clip she was better in Junior Idol. Better voice. Less attitude.
There's always next year!
I figured I’ll just make a fool of myself again next year also.....oh well - fun!
I'm giggling... comma or tab?
heh...heh...heh...
How sad to be a has-been at age sixteen!
Those kids! Ha!
Ok, 2 programs next week - I’ll get to see one of them. Thanks.
All the contestants have to pre-audition before Randy, Simon and Paula even get into town. There is plenty of time for them to shoot the background pieces on the sure losers before they audition for the judges.
Katharine McPhee Weds 2/4/08
American Idol star Katharine McPhee has married actor Nick Cokas in a lavish ceremony in Los Angeles.
The 23-year-old singer-turned-actress has been dating Cokas - who is 19 years her senior - for over a year after they met on the set of a theatre production.
And the couple, who got engaged last year (07), finally wed at Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church on Saturday (02Feb08), according to People Magazine.
McPhee wore a strapless ivory Manuel Mota gown to walk down the aisle at the ceremony which was attended by 305 guests, including fellow American Idol contestants Kellie Pickler and Mandisa.

Paula Abdul’s Pre-Game Lip-Synch
If you just missed Paula Abdul’s Superbowl pre-show performance, where she mouths sings “Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow,” rest easy, TMZ has got your back.
The sugary pop presentation was pretty much a predictable mess — including a Britney circa 1999 routine, cheesy background dancers and absolutely no actual singing. The best part wasn’t even Paula — it was spotting Randy Jackson in the background — playing bass! Hello, Tito!
Where in the hell was Simon during this pre-taped madness?!

This thing was brutally bad. LOL Saw way too much Idol yesterday. Looks like Simon was the only one with any common sense.
Lip-sync?

Yep. Saw her “off” a time or two. Looks like she pulled a “Whitney”.
