Oh yeah, she’ll be in the audience, sobbing every time someone is eliminated.
Cut 6 inches off the hair, give her a big ol’ Greek butt, make her skin translucent white, add about 937 pounds on her, and a couple of tattoos and we’d be identical twins.
I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be that tall...I’m 5’ and even petite clothes are too long for me-they make them for women around 5’4”.
It isn't always all its cracked up to be. You get to hit your head on cupboards and hanging lamps. you get to crush your knees into the back of the seat ahead of you or you can sit sideways a lot.
Shopping isn't always a breeze either. Most of the time, slacks or jeans are a tad, too short, but if you go to tall, then they wind up being a couple of inches, too long. Shirts don't stay tucked in and sleeves are usually too short, prompting the 3/4 length sleeve to end that, but that doesn't work well with jackets! lol
Then there's furniture, especially toilets, which sit so low, you feel like you are going to land on the floor. Cars are more and more catering to the shorter people. It isn't easy finding a vehicle that gives you leg room and head room, while still leaving room in the backseat for passengers.
All in all I'd always wanted to be a couple of inches shorter.
A goodlooking and talented bunch. It should be a very good competition.
“Wow...I thought he had a big fan base, what do they call them, Claymatons or something?
When he came out of the closet, the fan base couldn’t pretend he was straight anymore. “
In my world, they are called queer

LOL, thanks!
Talked to a mom who is good friends with an eliminated contestant’s mom. Word on the street is how scripted everything is. They say, per AI requirements, the contestant selected five songs for AI review. AI rejected all five citing copyright issues so another song was chosen. Knowing the final song choice wasn’t working in rehearsals, the contestant attempted to pick another song, and even though others were allowed to he/she was not permitted to change songs.
Basically the judges know who they want and talk up those performances.

Pretty much confirms what most of us have suspected for a long time. Thanks for the inside scoop.
Yup...sad to say, I do undertsand!
Ed
Kris Allen. The Arkansas native has a clean-cut cuteness that could win over the Archuleta speed-dialers.
•Megan Joy Corkrey. Her quavering vocal style may be an acquired taste, but the Utah mom’s winning smile sweetens the deal.
•Anoop Desai. Desai — aka Anoop Dog — led a college a cappella group and is working on his master’s, making him the thinking man’s contestant.
•Matt Giraud. The soulful Michigan singer has always looked more comfortable behind a piano, which made him a judges’ favorite during Hollywood Week.
•Danny Gokey. This Wisconsin widower has received more face time than any other finalist, thanks to his sympathetic back story and strong performances.
•Alexis Grace. The Memphis dark horse came into her own during the semi-finals with a knockout performance of Aretha Franklin’s I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You).
•Allison Iraheta. The 16-year-old who made a big impression with Heart’s Alone won a singing competition on Telemundo two years ago.
•Adam Lambert. Flamboyant showman likes to nail every song to the roof, and he’s got the voice to make it stick.
•Scott MacIntyre. The legally blind former child prodigy can’t wait to get behind the piano. He’s probably the most musically accomplished contestant Idol has ever seen.
•Jasmine Murray. The Mississippi beauty queen has struggled with song choice. Judges want to see her go in a Rihanna/Jordin Sparks direction.
•Jorge Nuñez. Nuñez brings a little Latin romance to the show and possesses an endearing charm.
•Lil Rounds. The mother of three from Memphis created a reputation as an early favorite with a strong audition and cemented it during the semifinals.
•Michael Sarver. He’s an oil-rig worker from Texas who looks and sounds like he ought to sing country but prefers blue-eyed soul.
FOX and Friends just said that this coming week on Idol will be Michael Jackson week.
I’ve also read that there will be a Motown week, and Grand Ole Opry week. The Grand Ole Opry week includes only artists that are a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
I was just about to ping the gang about that newsflash...will the gloved one appear???
I have no idea. Does he have a new CD coming out or something?
