Well at least we've establish some empirical evidence for that one!

Next time I'll keep in mind the power of RK's prowess of natural erotica. LOL!

Rose should have another chance. She was totally screwed by her group.
Are the Hollywood round singers eligible for the Wild Card?

Rose had a unique thing going on with her voice, but never would have made it with the hippie look! She was another Brooke. I understand there is a wildcard in the main competition this year.

Mr. San Fran, crazy cut black hair, scarf wearing, pretty eye boy is fantastic.

First prediction of the AI8. He finishes TOP 3. Do you see the way Kara looks at him? He's definitely her boy toy!

And once again, we see why eliminating the “group number” was a mistake in last season’s format. This is a very important exercise, and the contestants never seem to realize the true point of it — how to work professionally with others while maintaining your own identity.

In the end, while you’re in a group, you are responsible for yourself, and yourself only. People like Rose and Nancy, while it made for typical AI “drama”, made the fundamental mistake of letting themselves get so worked up over someone in their group that they fell flat in their own performance. If someone in the group is going to bomb for lack of effort, LET THEM, an worry about your own self.

There’s also a time management aspect to this — there is NO need to stay up all night learning these routines. It’s a trap, and most of them fall into it. Learn the song, put together some choreography, run it through a few times, and then go get some sleep. You’re better off ding that and getting back together in the morning to polish than trying to get it “perfect” staying up all night and then trying to catch whatever sleep you can.

Simon’s comments to the last two groups also sends a message to those who remain: “we know more about what’s going on than just what we see on stage.”

jonny, I heard somewhere that Kara had been fired from AI. Any truth to that?

I searched google and found rumors about that, but nothing concrete. I wouldn't miss her if she was gone, lol.

I guess we'll know if she's suddenly absent when they begin the live shows in a couple of weeks.

That's a very good point. I have to admit I wasn't thinking about it that way.

Or maybe Flavor Flav. Have you seen any of that show? They show it on the tv guide channel while they list programs sometimes.

Yes, I'm embarrassed to publicly admit all the time I spend watching VH1 reality shows. I saw the first 2 seasons of Flavor of Love and all the seasons of Rock of Love and their respective Charm School shows.

Everyday my calendar has a short fact on it. Today's fact was an H-bomb was lost off the coast of Georgia in 1958. I have never heard of this! I sent it to a coworker and she had never heard of it either.

It has it's own Wiki page, Tybee Island Bomb, that includes a detailed description of the bomb. I guess that is in case we see it and don't confuse it with other H bombs laying around the ocean floor?

I just hate it when the media tries to compare Obama’s wife with Jackie O. I was never particularly fond of Jackie O, but readily acknowledge that she had a quiet, classy and genteel nature about her. To me Laura Bush comes very close to that and Obama’s wife never ever will. She’s loud and obnoxious. I won’t call her First Lady, to me she is just Obama’s wife.

That's it exactly. It give the judges and idea of the personality types on the stage, and I think they have eyes and ears everywhere, so that they can keep up on what is really going down.

Found an article abput Paula and her ‘talk show’ and ‘contract demands’.

Paula Abdul Planning Talk Show?

http://www.showbizspy.com/180741/paula-abdul-planning-talk-show

Paula Abdul is planning to launch her own daytime TV talk show, according to a new report.

The American Idol judge is said to be in talks with CBS/Paramount Network Television about developing the show, which could hit screens as early as next year.

Paula, 46, is currently renegotiating her current contract with Idol execs and is asking to double her $5 million salary. If bosses don’t meet her demands, she “will put the wheels of her talk show in motion immediately,” reports the National Enquirer.

A source tells the publication, “Paula’s been dreaming about having her own talk show for three years, and she’s ready to make it a reality.

“And if she does get her contract demands, Paula will attempt to negotiate a clause that states she can have other projects, including a talk show, and will juggle both.

“Paula is unpredictable and not afraid to speak her mind — but she also leads from the heart and really connects with people.

“Studio execs feel those are the kind of personal attributes that would make her perfect for a daytime talk show.”


This other link, shows a before and after pic of Paula and has an article on her various plastic surgeries.

Okay—Enough with Comdedy Central!

Too much drama and not enough singing!

Who ever the guy is with the Black Hair kind of goth looking and the guy with the glasses are the two to beat!

Great Singers IMHO!

One more note from last night... Tatiana needs to be cut before the semifinals. Not so much because I personally don’t like her, but rather that she will end up in a psycho ward after cracking under the stress. She clearly can’t handle it.

I just hate it when the media tries to compare Obama’s wife with Jackie O.

For most of today's Democrats, "Camelot" is the touchstone of their political world. Nevermind that almost everything most people today know about the JFK presidency is pure phony myth created out of thin air by the Kennedy machine. Democrats have hungered for a return to "Camelot" ever since JFK was buried. The Obamas are but the latest in a long series of presumptive heirs and, like all the others, they will crash and burn.

Oh...and what are the ties that connect JFK and Jackie to Mr. & Mrs. Obama? They were/are 40-something Democrats with two young kids. Kennedy was a young-ish senator with little experience compared to the other leading politicians of his day. Period. End of similarity.

The truth about JFK's presidency is that it was among the worst in history. He was president less than three years, yet his record includes the following:

-- Escalation of U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

-- Abandonment of the Cuban resistance leading to the Bay of Pigs fiasco.

-- In August 1961, JFK sat by and did nothing while the Soviets erected the Berlin Wall. That emboldened the Soviet Primier Nikita Kruschev to take on the U.S. in the ultimate high-stakes chess match.

-- The world was brought to the brink of nuclear war during the Cuban missile crisis. Contrary to myth, Kennedy didn't get the Soviets to back down by acting tough with the U.S. naval blockade of Cuba. Kruschev had JFK's number. Kruschev wanted something, and he got it. Using UN Secretary General U Thant as the facilitator, JFK reached an agreement with the Soviets to dismantle the missiles in Cuba in exchange for the then-secret removal of U.S. missiles in Turkey. Only then did the Soviets agree to remove their missiles in Cuba. The Berlin Wall stayed up until November 9, 1989.

-- Kennedy also whored around with everything in a skirt that caught his eye, from Marilyn Monroe to Mafia boss Sam Giancana's girlfriend, who carried messages back and forth between JFK and Giancana.

-- During the Kennedy administration, the CIA recruited Giancana, Miami mob leader, Santo Trafficante Jr., and other Mafia goons to assassinate Fidel Castro. Whether or not the long-time Kennedy involvement with the mob is what got JFK killed is still an open question that will never be answered. But what is absolutely stone cold truth is that the then President of the United States put himself in a position where he could be blackmailed by the mob. JFK and RFK appeared to strike back at the mob by going after many of its leaders. However, by 1975, JFK, RFK and Giancana had all been shot to death.
