In that group pic...is that armpit hair I see crawling out of Carly’s blouse? Gross!!! Or maybe it’s a new tattoo?
Simon is right about her clothes—she dresses like a bartender.
Michael Johns is happily married -- to a woman. Granted, we can't know if someone swings both ways (or maybe experimented early in life), but the fact is that accusing someone of being gay is the modern insult of choice. Someone becomes famous, and all of a sudden someone else looking for his or her 15 minutes comes out claiming the newly famous was his/her gay lover. It's tiresome.
I've found that's the best way to evaluate their performances. I agree with you about David Cook's and Michael Johns' performances. I thought Michael's performance was the best last night, following by David C., and, believe it or not, Seyesha. The reason I put her third is because she took a huge risk singing the one tune most identified with Whitney Huston. I thought Seyesha did a creditable job trying to reach for somewhere between the Dolly and Whitney versions. I think she pulled it off, but there's no way she could have expected good reviews from the judges. Probably not from the public either.
This morning on the local Fox affiliate here in Los Angeles, they reported that David C. was taken to the hospital after his performance. He was sick before he went on, and the show's medics checked him after he came off stage. He was having heart palpitations and his blood pressure was very high. At the hospital, they gave him some medication to lower his BP and released him. The show's medics are keeping an eye on him. Here's an article about the incident:
'American Idol':David Cook released from hospital, on meds"American Idol" contestant David Cook was rushed to an L.A. hospital after last night's show. He was experiencing stress-related heart palpitations. He was later released with a prescription for medication to lower his blood pressure.
Despite feeling light-headed, Cook went on with the show and was taken to the hospital after his performance of "Little Sparrow" to be checked out for high blood pressure and anxiety.
Hey, who wouldn't be anxious?
He's currently back at the L.A.-area hotel where the "Idol" contestants are staying this season. "He is fine and not at the hospital," another show insider told E!.
Insiders add that another factor adding to his anxiety may have been news about his brother, who is fighting cancer.
This morning, Ryan Seacrest told KIIS-FM listeners, "I don't know what he was stressed about. He said yesterday that his blood pressure was high and he wanted to get checked out after the show."
Oh, but David wasn't the only brave soldier last night. Ryan hurt his knee when he bashed his leg against the metal railings while running across the set. And he also stayed at his host post.
Seacrest told listeners this morning, "That's gonna leave a mark!"
They have a new album out - Funplex. Stylistically, they're as predictable as can be, but that's their appeal.
I think the ‘village voice’ comment/post about Michael Johns being gay was an April fools joke because so many were commenting on his looks after he sang.
I hope it was an April Fools' joke. Unfortunately, too many people will readily think it's true. :(
I'm pretty sure it was an April Folls joke. I asked the poster in #1516 if it was an April Fools joke and in #1524 they replied with (shhhh!) . I took that to mean that yes it was meant as a joke.
Thanks! :-)
I hope David Cook is ok. I read somewhere that this has happened to him, before.
Ryan Seacrest makes me ill....he doesn’t know why David would be stressed over his sick brother?? :-(
I've read that the AC that is taped onto the backside of his guitar are his brother's initials.

Wow, your post showed up about 9 minutes after tou posted it. At least for me it showed up way late.
I suspect tonight is going to be a long grueling night of disappearing posts! Posts 30-34 have vanished!
Darn, changing browsers didn’t help. :(
I have no clue what will happen to this post....very strange things are happening at FR!
Abracadabra, they’re back!
I never heard of these brothers....or the brothers who performed on DWTS. Jonas Brothers? I think they were, at the most, 12 years old. My 9 yr. old niece loves them.
I hope David’s okay.
What the heck is going on with FR??? My nerves!
