I love Danny....wish I had a daughter who could marry him.

I do have a daughter...and she is going to get to meet him this summer if he gets a chance to come home before the tour!

[Mygirlsmom]

I don’t remember Cookie singing a Lionel Ritchie song last season.

That's because it sounded nothing like Lionel Ritchie...Hello! :)

[Netizen]

I saw that... it doesn’t matter this is a good Bette Midler song, fact is it wasn’t a good song for her to sing and this is what she isn’t getting... it isn’t about what she likes, it’s about what she can sing, what is in her range. Since she clearly doesn’t understand that it’s time for her to go, this performance tonight was painful to watch.

I agree. She was NOT getting it. Just because you like a song doesn't mean it is a good song for you to sing. Her problem though is she was arguing that she 'changed' it up, (artistry). Again, if the song is a bad fit, changing it up by starting normal, going gospel, then going back to normal, doesn't mean it fit any better. I hated what she did to that song.

[silent_jonny]

I think tomorrow is the end of the road for Lil though :)

Unless the judges save her. They might not though, because it has to be unanimous and Simon doesn't seem too thrilled with Lil.

Related? LOL, I wouldn’t want anything to get in the way of possible future FReakiness between us ; )

One of my Grandmothers was also Jewish to throw a further fly in the ointment of my Muttery. I have no special affinity nor prejudice to any ethnic group, since I likely have some part of them running through my blood.

Except for those Lithuanians, screw them.

[silent_jonny]

I sure hope it was just a tease because without Simon, who’d tune in?

I think it's a tease. Seems like there's some rumor about somebody leaving every season.

[Tuxedo]

It doesn’t pick up the text votes and he wasn’t even bottom three last week... so DialIdol is probably a pantsload.

LOL! We wouldn't get along. We'd be too busy trying to out-smartass each other.

Except for those Lithuanians, screw them.

ROTFL

[Arizona Carolyn]

Her “rendition” made my ears hurt! and Simon really doesn’t like it when they talk back to him, she just blew her chances of being saved tomorrow night — unless the people who vote bad idol save her sorry rear.

[word_warrior_bob]

I don’t think Big Mounds is going home tomorrow, she sang in the pimp spot, which means next week she sings first, she’s all set up to go home next week.

[Majie Purple]

I’m gonna go eat some Easter treats and mail a letter...

Goodnight,eventhough the chocolate I’m about to enjoy will most likely keep me up for hours...:)

So very much worth the loss of sleep!...

Later!

Except for those Lithuanians, screw them.

Hey! Being half Lithuanian, I take exception to that. :(

[silent_jonny]

Even Reagan wouldn't have been conservative enough for a lot of them.

I absolutely agree! If Reagan were president in the internet age, there would be people here (the same people that use "Reagan" in their screen names) who would be calling him a RINO.

What kind of MAN let's his son dance around in a tutu!? ;)

[retrokitten]

Seems like there's some rumor about somebody leaving every season.

Speak of the devil...today's OK! Magazine cover:

“The plan to add a fourth person backfired,” an Idol insider tells OK! about the troubles that have been mounting since Kara joined the cast at the beginning of this season. “Now the producers are left with a tough decision: Do they go back to the original three-judge format, or leave Kara there?” With all four judges in contract negotiation — and no ninth-season spots confirmed — the competition has turned fierce.

[silent_jonny]

My cousin loaned me a DVD of Newt Gingrich talking about God in America. Will that cleanse me?

Maybe. But Newt angers me personally.

[Netizen]

It doesn’t pick up the text votes and he wasn’t even bottom three last week... so DialIdol is probably a pantsload.

That was the very first week of the season that they had the bottom person wrong. I think shenanigans went on.

[skateman]

LOL, something tells me you would like a doctor friend of mine in Memphis....As someone once said: “Doc is WTMI”, LOL.

[Netizen]

Their problem is that while they added a 4th judge, they didn’t take into account the extra time that the 4th judge would use.

[silent_jonny]

I missed that. Did you get a feeling for what Simon might have been wanting to say?

No, only that he seemed to disagree with whatever Kara was saying about Matt. So I'm guessing her liked his performance more than she did.

Tonight was so screwed up! It gave me a headache.

[retrokitten]

LMAO My best-friend at work is full Lithuanian. I tried to convince her to have her wedding at the Lithuanian Cultural Center outside of Chicago, but she wouldn’t do it.
