David Cook and Lady Gaga to Perform Wednesday, April 1

Good, I really want to see Cook perform. Lady Gaga, what, is that french or something? Whenever they say "multitalented," or the artist will "embark on a Worldwide Tour," you just know they're gonna suck!

It’s not cute! LIke the Potter books, it has some very dark moments, when you are afraid of what might happen to the lead characters. My favorite character is Dustfinger, I know you would like him too.

[sirchtruth]

...uglied him up!

LOL! Boy, you know there's nothing in this world worse than getting, "Uglied up!"

[EmilyGeiger]

Somehow I knew you would! You have good taste in old t.v. shows. :)

[EmilyGeiger]

And now Danny will lose his prayer buddy.

Did you see Danny’s face last night when they said they wouldn’t save Michael? He was visible upset. I imagine Michael had become a friend to him.

[EmilyGeiger]

I like Lil, I think everyone is comparing her too closely to Fantasia and she is nothing like Fantasia. For one she is married! And has 3 children with the same man. She is educated (although misguided, as are many like her). She actually has a better voice than Fantasia, and everytime I’ve watched her with the others, she is supportive and nice. So I like her alright, don’t want her to win, but I like her. :)

"You're safe, buddy, only if you can find your way back to the couch!"

LOL! For goodness sake, did Seacrest really say this?!!

[EmilyGeiger]

you know there’s nothing in this world worse than getting, “Uglied up!”

LOL, that’s true. ;)

Jail and prison toilets are usually stainless steel, like those chairs. And in most prisons, any room where a toilet is located does not have a door that closes. Many have large-pane windows, so nothing can be done in private.

(I’ve videotaped interviews in prisons for a TV program, so that’s how I know. Never been an inmate.)

Here is Sarver singing that he is not too proud to CRY and BEG and PLEAD for her to come back to him, and he’s dancing around and smiling as if to say “Here I am! Performing! Singing! I’m doing this song! Let’s have some fun!”

Exactly! Perfect description.

[silent_jonny]

Am I allowed to be ROFL at this?? :)

Sure, LOL :)

Almost everyone I know thought it would be Megan going home.

______________________________________________

Unless she turns in a truly abysmal performance she is safe for at least another week. The producers want some balance.

This is not a new concept, a few of us called it before last night.

[silent_jonny]

I'm wondering if he knew something which was going on with her in this area. This is a pretty valuable piece of advice if you ask me! Simon usually will tell a contestant in a round about way during the judging phase what he thinks they should do to improve their performance if he likes you!

He said the same thing to Archuleta last year after the monchichi performed one too many "Imagine" songs with a heavy-handed social message. Everyone knew those were his stage dad's picks and Simon all but said so on TV.

[retrokitten]

Wonder Woman?? Nooooooooo!

Yeah, there was just an article about her saying something stupid about Republicans. Then on one of those VH1 shows, like I Love the 80's or something, she did a big Bush bash. Sorry, Angry Jonny.

[retrokitten]

I would say I'm boycotting Dominos because of it, but I don't like their crappy pizzas anyway, LOL

LOL! What is funny is Chicago is the land of pizza (we don't just have deep dish, like people seem to think for some silly reason), but we have Domino's all over the place!

I don't know who would order Domino's when you have a Giordano's (the greatest pizza in America) right down the street.

[retrokitten]

The next three eliminations I could see going like this: 9) Scott 8) Megan 7) Anoop.

Let's hope so!

[retrokitten]

It was taped for a later air date, for some reason.

[LA Woman3]

Can he really be that far removed from modern internet life??

Maybe so! But wouldn't looter guy "fans" recognize him?

Both true. Maybe some info will come out in the next day or two about her "adviser."

Many thanks for the on the ground observations...great analysis, and good writing..especially for being tired, late-night, and in a car..

If I can offer a suggestion for a follow-up, I assume you recorded the show, and will watch it at some time. It'd be fascinating to see what youir impressions are of that, vs, what you saw live...
