Who/what is "Lady Gaga?"

BTW, any truth to the rumor that Rueben secretly filmed an arc on "The Biggest Loser?"

[Cudjo]

you and your family are in my prayers, it always throws you for a loop when someone you love is so suddenly gone.

Jennifer will be “a future show” (as they put it) - I’m not sure if they didn’t know when, or if they just weren’t saying. They had the idols go backstage when she sang - obviously unlike with Ruben out there, they’d have no clue who would still be there whenever the Jennifer segment airs, so... She’ll be another week.

One thing I couldn’t believe in the results show last night was that most of that - other than the results themselves and the bottom 2 singing, was all pre-taped. That group sing was horribly done and I’m very curious why they did that (and did it so poorly! LOL)

[Adam] reminds me a bit of Kurt Russell.

Spitting image!! It was really surprising.

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

At least its not a local issue. The Domino's around here are crap, too. How do they stay in business?

[Majie Purple]

Consevative;Wonderfilled Woman to the rescue!!!!!:) minus the invisible plane. :)

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!

I have no idea who or what Lady Gaga is, but, bet that you are right about the quality. I have to confess that when I first read the article I thought it said 'mutilated'.

BTW, any truth to the rumor that Rueben secretly filmed an arc on "The Biggest Loser?"

I don't know if he did or not, but, if he did, that would have been a mistake. That would have been a great opportunity for CD sales, not to mention being an inspiration for others. So, my guess would be that he lost it by other means. I'm thinking maybe a Jenny Craig type of thing.

[retrokitten]

I don’t know and I see their drivers all over the place. We used to get Domino’s in college because they took checks. LOL

[Majie Purple]

No need to be embarrassed, that oaf in office does indeeed have that effect on people...

I'd cuss more in public but it suits men better,the cussing...jmho,but I do cuss,just not very often,

but cussing is a totally understandable reaction, given certian senarios like

The Kenyan imposter

fits the cuss worthy criteria for sure.

Thank You Cudjo.

American Idol: Jennifer Hudson Will Return To The Show

Jennifer Hudson may not have won an American Idol crown, but the third season of the show was a great platform for her to go on to do big things with her beautiful voice. Now the most famous American Idol alumni will return to American Idol season 8 for a performance.

According to reports, the Oscar-winning actress and singer will be making a special appearance on American Idol, reports the New York Daily News.

Jennifer Hudson is apparently not going to be performing live, but will tape her song, which will be played on the show at a later date. No further information has been released at this time.

---

I get the impression that she will NOT be there physically. Maybe she just won’t be able to be there on results night, but, will be able to mentor?

Something else, though. Maybe they felt it was best for her to not be there physically because of her recent losses. Can you imagine the staff, the performers and the audience all wanting to express their sympathies to her. Its only been about 4 or 5 months and she lost her mom, brother and nephew. They might have felt that they would not have been able to control the audience. Just a guess on my part.

[Majie Purple]

They sure are. Politics aside, Wonder's song tonight was a big nothing ... which I suppose makes it a perfect fit for Obama :)

Perfect fit for the oaf,indeed...:) I'm sure glad the song roster wasn't stevie wonder filled!LOL!

[nufsed]

They have considered that before, but decided it would embarrass the contestants. Wonder is a musical genius and near the top of the list for the last 39 years. Many singers cannot do what he does vocally and so they don't try.

In future years, he'll probably guest mentor as Smokey did this week. Notice, they didn't require the contestants to sing Smokey. They opened it to all of motown.

[Majie Purple]

Good afternoon! T Y for all the greetings;pings and things!!!:)

!!!!!:)

[Majie Purple]

LOL! That just might work.

[ken5050]

Thanks..bvut I’m still waiting for the “Lady Gaga” explanation..I was going to Google it..but I’m afraid (g)

BTW..I have A NEW tagline

[retrokitten]

She does pop/dance junk. It's safe to google.

>>He motions for them to listen, and he picks up the mike to the passenger section. “Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. There is absolutely NO REASON TO PANIC. I repeat: THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.”

And then he shuts off the mike and they are just laughing hysterically as the entire cabin erupts in a panic.

Like I said, this was wayyyyyy pre-9/11. But funny as hell.<<

The terrorists (now our fuhrer’s best friends) stole humor from us as well as everything else they took.

Lady Gaga doing Poker Face (sounds like a Batman movie title! lol)

[ken5050]
