Dilemma! Do we watch Idol tonight or the Democraps debate?? Here's a pic of Hillary and Obama: The early years

[TonyWpi]

Dial Idol has the bottom feeders as Carly, Brooke and Syesha so it's a pretty good bet that one of them goes home.

I don't suspect another surprise this week after the Aussie went home last week.

Tradesports has Syesha to go but they had her last week as well.

Anyone know who the guest coach will be next week?

I for one, find it almost impossible to believe that Jason went to Texas A&M. How did he ever manage to escape a piblic shearing? Man, the entire Aggie Corps of Cadets COMBINED has less hair than Dreds..

“If Brooke gets sent home, I will be one sad Freeper. :-/”

Don’t be sad. If she gets booted off tonight, she can always make a career performing duets with Yanni.

There’s a difference between a singer and a performer. Monchici has been preforming in front of bug crowds for years. Brooke’suggest audience may have been 5-6 maximum..so she’s out there now, in front of thousands, and she has a little panic attack. It’s understandable, but she’ll have to overcome it to go further. I’d buy her CD in a second..she has a distinctic smoky voice...nice phrasing..and knows her niche well..she’s this year’s Carmen Rasmussen..

Carmen Rasmussen???

Who?

:)

[ken5050]

Rememebr about 4 weeks ago, when there was a rumor that Carly was preggers, and Ryan asked her and she denied it?..Well, looking at her last night, she looks like she’s gained 10-20 pounds..and she looks pregnant. That might explain the different fashion statement...dark colors..full outfit, no bare skin..it’ll blend..but if anyone can post a close up of her face from last night..you can see the pregnancy puffery..yup..she’s got a bun in the oven..

[ken5050]

google her..I liked her voice....heck, I bought her CD..she was on the season when the judges were allowed to each have their own “fave” and could bring them back after they were voted off, or some such rot.. It was Simon who brought her back..

It's Andrew Lloyd Webber week...show tunes galore.

[Miss Didi]

She certainly was “glowing” last night. ;)

In the theme of music, in case you missed this today:


Praise for God and America at the White House.

Ceremony for Pope Praises God and American Exceptionalism

Video: US Army Chorus: Battle Hymn of the Republic

Video: Kathleen Battle: The Lord's Prayer

Programming Note: The entire White House ceremony will be on EWTN tonight at 9 EDT...DirecTV channel 370

[TonyWpi]

"It's Andrew Lloyd Webber week...show tunes galore." COOL!! That should be fun. Heck, I wonder if they'll have "George Webber" week? Remember him (Dudley Moore's character in "10")

I still snot my hand playing the Geico Burt Bacarach piece, “ I’ll never get hit....in the REeeeeeeeeeeeear again”

[Wolfstar]

When I heard him sing “Over the Rainbow” in that poignant arrangement first used by ?????

That version of the song was created and recorded by a Hawaiian singer named Israel Kamakawiwoʻole. Here's a link to information about him on Wikipedia.

Nobody, but nobody sings "Over the Rainbow" better than Judy Garland, who was just 16 years old when she introduced the song in "The Wizard of Oz."

JMO, but I really dislike the version by Israel K. Not only does he screw up the lyrics, but his arrangement and alternative melody kill the whole meaning of the song. In any case, here's a link to his version on YouTube.
