APPLES! :)

He only seems to really shine on the Queen songs.

Yeah. And I didn't think he was as great as the judges believed.

[rock_lobsta]

Mrs. Lobsta and I were discussing this at length yesterday. Kristi was fantastic, and looks completely stunning.

[myprecious]

her drive and attention to detail make the real difference

I agree with you. She is wonderful. I am just saying that the voting may not always be with her.

[silent_jonny]

Couldn’t bear to hear more socially-conscious crap from Monchichi.

You're just not "down for the struggle".

:)

[envisio]

Absolutely...Simon is the equivalent of a british conservative. He loves America...he can't stand hippies. He doesn't voice his political views much, but that is a fact. I would go as far as to say Simon purposely said that aboout that Greenwood song just to piss of an American hating hippies.

Seriously.

I yall think Simon is a hollywierd libtard then you are dead wrong.

for real

[silent_jonny]

I told my husband that and he said, “The Airplane song was better.”

LOL!! Yes it was :)

[silent_jonny]

Rev. Wright is NOT amused...

LOL!

"God Bless the USA? A song written by a rich white man for rich white people! Lee Greenwood doesn't know what it's like to be called n-----!"

:)

[rock_lobsta]

Oh, you’re funny....

Ya know, I wonder if papa monchichi will let junior actually choose a song.

BTW - Cook is overtaking monchichi on dial idol.

[silent_jonny]

Either that or he realizes he can't criticize the song without sounding anti-American. Might be what he meant by "clever song choice".

You nailed it.

[silent_jonny]

Coming to you tonight from fabulous Las Vegas.

Have fun :)

[rock_lobsta]

Completely unrelated, but you heard it here first.

There's a rumor around that one of the AI finalists is pregnant.

Anyone want to guess?

[Miss Didi]

Perhaps that would explain the unfortunate blouses.

[rock_lobsta]

Either that, or she’s hitting the buffet - hard.

[rock_lobsta]

What’s funny is Mrs. Lobsta said the same thing during her song.

[purpleraine]

I’m thinking her and Mario in the finals.

[Shelayne]

Hmmm. Perhaps that is why she was in the bathroom directly before her song. If that’s the case, I SOOO can empathize with her. My first 4 1/2 months with my first were horrible. But in a very good way. ;^)

[silent_jonny]

So re Chris Cornell - are you a fan or did you pick up that tidbit elsewhere. Is the guy worth checking out?

I'm a fan :) I have the album.

I wasn't a fan until I saw Casino Royale. Cornell performed (and I think wrote) the title song "You Know My Name". I had to have that song and the MP3 versions available at the time weren't full length. That was only available on his CD--not even the movie soundtrack had the song.

So I bought the CD and that's how I knew about his version of Billie Jean.

I'm listening to it now :)

[silent_jonny]

I thought that was a lobsta claw in that pic! ;)

LOL!

[Shelayne]

Just by listening to the lyrics of Billie Jean, that version is sooo much better. It is really a kind of tortured song. Michael Jackson whooping and yipping through it just doesn’t work when you really read the lyrics.

I thought David Cook was amazing. He is fast becoming my favorite.

[silent_jonny]

Veeery interesting. Reminds me of the Chris Daughtry, “I Walk the Line” controversy a few years ago.

Yep. And iirc, Daughtry had to explain himself on the following week's show.

I don't know if this will be as big of a deal, but the way the judges reacted we would think that David came up with this version all by himself.
