DialIdol doesn’t seem to be working like it has in the paat - wonder if they have a lot more lines open now - making it tough to actually get busy signals. Voted a lot for Siobhan and never once got a busy.
Woo Pig Soooie, even with the new ticket prices. Hey Jeff Long, in the middle of the worst recession since the Great Dpresssion, let's raise prices. Yeah, that's the ticket....(pun intended)
IIRC, one little church group got over 100,000 calls out in one session. But since AT&T was also a sponsor for AI, it went kinda hushy in a hurry.
I heard all those stories, if true, even if one could get ten votes with one push of a button, wow! 38,000.000?
Its called Hawg Power!
Anyway, two tributes to Johnny Cash, an Arkansan. One from Adam Lambert. One from Rodney Crowell.

parsy, is temporary out of the State
No, I don’t think we ever discussed Tapestry.
Me too. Just watched it on YouTube. This girl is really good. Great voice and she has a stage presence that is unusual. She is never boring. Simon is gonna regret that review when he watches the recording of the performance.
You really think they pre-write their critiques?
Why do you say that?
Randy is almost imbecilic this season “Yo, yo, yo...dog” and not much more.
Kara is irritating and Ellen is weird, there’s something very wrong with her.
Simon is great, as usual.
So, what's this about Crystal being diabetic? The way she sat down for the judges tonight looked like back pain to me. I admire her more every week, she's a fighter. Personally, I don't like the Joplin comparison, you know? Hate to see an awesome girl compared to a doped up suicide. I think she's more Joni Mitchell, Mama Cass, early Carly Simon. Modern old school somehow. I love her, and Lily, and Siobhan.
Tonight felt like a memo went out to pick sad songs. These girls are too young to be so serious, and I'm too old to listen to it! Need to hear some "While We're Young and Beautiful", some attitude,you know? Watching Glee right after emphasized the lack of star power in 6 of 8, and the somber mood! Hope they mix it up next week.
Hi, EG! How’s your dad?
Better! Thanks!
Interestingly, I am actually kinda of looking forward to tonight. There are actually a few good story lines in play even if the overall talent is miles behind the girls.
1. Can Big Mike back up last week’s breakout and maybe put his name in the discussion just behind Crystal and Siobhan?
2. Can Andrew bring his game back or is he destined to be this years Sundance?
3. Can Lee keep his upward momentum and stamp himself as this year’s dark horse?
4. Can Casey bring his game back up and avoid following Andrew into the pit of Also-rans?
5. Will Alex, Tim, or Aaron do anything remotely talented?
6. Will Todrick go full tilt bozo and give us a taste of his Mad Choreography skillz???? hehehehe
Still, no matter what the Guys do, this season is already boiling down to a battle between Crystal and Siobhan. There will also be one of that second tier of singers that will be this years “Most improved” and make a run toward the top — not sure who that will be yet.
I suspect Dumby's parole officer isn't really a parole officer. (Dumby's dad maybe?)
Good :)
Very true.
LOL!
I think one of them is doomed no matter what happens this week. The sympathy vote is running thin.
They announced on Fox this a.m. that this might be the last season of 24...it will be announced later today. Gee, I sure hope the PEACE DEAL is resolved by then!
Really? Who?
Yes, add me to the mini ping update list. I didn’t know there was one!
” I think he knows she’s got more to give, and is pushing her to create something memorable...
Interesting point. “
Also, Simons all about recording contracts. We are about who can sing......
He wants that “ memory moment” so it fits with a name, a contract, and $$$$$$
That applies for Crystal also.
LOL, you forgot:
7) Will Kara give up her seat and just start sitting in Simon’s lap?
8) Are Ellen and Seacrest actually sharing the same wardrobe?
9) Are Alex and Tim secretly one person under different wigs?
10) If you cut Crystal’s dreads, does she lose her musical superpowers?
Two seasons ago at the point when contestants have to sing two songs Paula started critiquing someone's, can't remember who, I think it was Elliot Yamin, second song that he had not sung yet.
