Is it bad that when she sings the line ‘if it isn’t rough, it isn’t fun’, I thought of you and this newer image you have presented? ;)
Oh boy, I have an image?? And it’s rough! LMAO
Gosh, if we ever have a big AI FR get together, you all are going to be so disappointed when you meet me. LOLOLOLOLOL
Ya never know who’s in your family tree!
I don’t think of you as being rough so much, but, that sounded like something that you would have posted.
Someone on the thread though said they didn’t like their guys clean cut, they liked them rougher, or something like that. I might have you confused with somebody else.
I didn’t mean anything bad by it though. :)
Rumor has it that next weeks theme is iTunes. Either top 30 or most downloaded. (wouldn’t that be about the same thing)
Have you seen this thread?

Looks like stuff Lucille Ball would have worn during her shows.
That was me. {embarrassed giggle} Even I can't believe the things I post sometimes.
It was about Kris. He's cute, but so fluffy and new looking, like a baby chick.
I'm not a big Brad Pitt fan (in fact, I think he's an idiot), but Kris should watch Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise. That launched his career. He was hitchhiking in west Texas and looked like it. He also has that swagger that Simon keeps saying Kris needs.
Or Carol Burnett. The poor model on the far right (the one dressed like a maxipad) looks really miserable. LOL
You got that right about that song it was no biggie for either. But the group sing along was jsut strange for me with all the lip synching. I found this article and it was same thing I was thinking about the group song. Enjoy.
‘American Idol’ Keeps Things Interesting as Top 10 Turns Top 9

It was an interesting day on “American Idol” Thursday as the Top 10 turned Top 9.
Normally on elimination nights, it’s the big vote off that’s supposed to leave us shocked. In this case there was nothing surprising about who went home, but plenty of jaw-dropping elements in just about every other part of the show, starting right at the very beginning with the group song.
Singing a Motown medley, the contestants seemed more like they were choreographed to defy critics of lip-synching than to show off their own skills. At one point, every contestant was in the middle of the stage — nowhere near the microphones — in a blatant attempt to demonstrate that they weren’t pretending to sing live.

But isn’t that the whole idea? We all know Britney lip-synchs, but even she keeps that useless mini-mic strapped to her chin. It’s part of the show. If you’re not going to keep up that part of the act, why move your lips at all?
The whole lip-synching fiasco did make the group song that much more interesting to watch though, kind of like how I was glued to the television during Ruben Studdard’s performance, not because of his song, but because I was on pins and needles waiting to see if he was going to knock down the microphone stand. So close!

But even the allure of falling props couldn’t save Megan Corkery’s performance this week, which makes me wonder what it is this girl needs to do to get into the bottom three. She sang horribly on Wednesday, she certainly didn’t perform any better and, despite being beautiful, she kind of looked Chiquita Banana. Still, not only does she not get voted off, but she doesn’t even come close.

All the while, Matt Giraud, who has a great voice, plays a mean piano, picked a great song and sang it well was stuck in the reject seats with Michael Sarver and Scott MacIntyre.
Hopefully, considering Megan sang a Stevie Wonder song, after seeing Stevie Wonder perform today, people will finally realize how bad Megan is by comparison. Otherwise maybe Matt should put on a fake accent, call himself by his middle name and start vying for the Votefortheworst.com vote because it seems to be working out for ‘Joy.’
Still at least the right person did go home tonight in the end, and despite being a great guy it was definitely Michael Sarver’s time to go. The only thing surprising about his exit was how long it took the judges to tell him they weren’t going to save him.
Realistically, it seemed like Michael had come to terms with the idea of going home long before Ryan could lead him to believe otherwise. I bet he was more bummed that he missed riding the private gilded jet to Detroit than he was about leaving “American Idol” as a Top 10 contestant.
In the end, I’m the only one who needs a pity part in all of this, as “Idol’s” reluctance to announce next week’s theme leaves me incapable of making an educated early vote-off prediction. With that said I’m going to go out on a limb and calling it for Megan Corkery. So what if she wasn’t even in the bottom three? Come on America, let’s keep things interesting.
I think that's because everyone has gotten so close and we say things off the wall now.
Honestly you and others say some of the funniest things. I'd never get through the thread if I commented on them all. It's no wonder that SJ gets hours behind.
We are like one big warped family with a few sane stragglers in places. :)
not that there's anything wrong with that
I know, you guys all crack me up! I think if ROTFL'd every post that made me do that, the thread would be 5,000 more posts each Tuesday and Wednesday.

Yeah, every family's got 'em. My flesh and blood family even has a few liberals, but we don't talk about them.
“It was about Kris. He’s cute, but so fluffy and new looking, like a baby chick.”
Oh gosh, yes!!! He sings well enough, but I just want to pat him on the head and feed him a Twinkie. (Or a worm, maybe, if he’s a baby chick? :) He doesn’t bring out the (ahem!) cougar in me at all. But OTOH, I guess I’m not really AI’s target audience, either!
Love your posts, RK! I would have quit reading this thread long ago if it didn’t make me giggle so much. :)
Aww...thank you, Hetty! That's very sweet of you to say.
Ugh!

LMAO!! He’s perfect!
Kris is a definite male. So far, he’s my favorite. I like his style...so talented. Matt is second, but he’s a J.T. wannabe, which is annoying. Flamer dude is next (don’t remember his name...looked like KD Lang this week.) Scott needs to go. He sucks. Anoop-dawg is boring me to tears, even with the “edgy” nick name. Not so into Lil, but she can sing (nothing terribly original about her, though.) Allyson? (red hair) is good, but doesn’t blow me away. Megan Joy is nuts, and entertaining...so I hope she stays. LOL!!! Did I miss anyone?
That would be so lame.
LOL!!
True ;)
I don't know if I'm sane or warped some weeks, LOL
Yeah, I honestly thought she did that last performance because she wanted to go home and asked someone how she could suck bad enough to do it. I'm beginning to think she might not understand where she's at, or what she can even do as a unique "in the present" artist. IOW, she doesn't know what this is all about and hasn't a clue she could take advantage of the talent around her to even grow as an artist. Maybe Simon woke her up.
She's not a "talented" singer right now, but her strange stage attitude, gorgeous face, the right song choice, and a willingness to learn and grow might carry her to the top 5. She could possibly beat out Scott, Chris, Anoop, Matt, Lil.
Oh, Btw, the tat vote is being upheld this year!
