I’m with you. I thought Big Mike was brilliant tonight. I was wiping tears along with Kara. Having his wife there obviously inspired him. Beautiful.

I don't know who started this trend with full-frontal male nudity but it has to stop

...while I whizzed through the thread..

We have a theme!

Last Thursday we went to Costco and the lady in the checkout line in front of us was buying nothing but a cart full of bananas. Seriously. She had to have at least 15-20 bunches of bananas and that was it. Weird.

Monday we had to run back to Costco just for one thing. We are walking out...and there is the same lady- with another cart full of bananas! WTH? Does she have a gorilla at home or an animal sanctuary or something??

She might be buying for a smoothies shop -- most of the fruit they use probably has pretty good shelf life (or is frozen), but bananas don't freeze well and have a pretty limited "window" of usefulness. And they're very common fruit smoothie ingredients.

Todrick looks like he's going horseriding after the show. His song choice is Queen's "Somebody To Love". It's okay. He doesn't change it up (butcher it) like his other songs.

No, but he did change it to be a bit more "gospel" sounding. I actually thought it was a good arrangement. But I don't think he sang it very well. An average vocalist at best, and Simon is right, he may very well be more suited for Broadway than AI.

Rofl, just reading last night’s thread on my phone. More fun than showering with Rahm!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!

LOL :)

Hey I meant to thank you for pinging me to your Oscar thread. Looks like you had a great time :)

[silent_jonny]

Hope you feel better today. ((RK))

[silent_jonny]

Morning, Didi! Sorry I missed you last night.

[CAluvdubya]

i guess I just dont get it..it made Kara cry.
And not one tear that I could see.

No kidding! She drives me crazy anyway but the fake crying over nothing made her look like an idiot! And.....she just wants to hang all over Simon and "be" Paula. Ain't gonna happen, chickeee-babe.

(as you can tell, I catch up with the thread in the mornngs :-{) )

[CAluvdubya]

Hey, who forgot to close my tags???? :D

[CAluvdubya]

Hey jonny, I hadn't looked at your homepage in a long time so I took a peek......GORGEOUS! You've added so many more of your fantastic works. Truly awesome and thanks for allowing us the opportunity to see them!

[RMDupree]

I wish I could get in here during the shows, but things are so hectic lately that I’ve had to record AI and catch up on the thread the next day! Grrrrr.....

I still laugh myself silly reading the comments though! Takes all the stabby out of my day!

Love you guys!

[Palladin]

Good tosee you, Ms. Dupree!

Last night was soooooo boring that I actually fell asleep after the first four. I totally missed the next three and woke up in time to hear Michael. Whatta voice! He is the one to beat.

Y’all are so mean to our little Aaron from up here in hillbilly country in northern PA. he’s going to be Top Ten whether you like it or not because he has a gazillion hillbillies voting for him!

Going home tonight: Alex and Lee

Have you seen “Inglourious Basterds” yet? I liked it much more than I thought I would—once I accepted that the movie wasn’t about the Bastereds

I haven't yet. I just got Fringe season 1 disc 4 and Surrogates with Bruce Willis from Netflix.

[Palladin]

Youmade me go look at jonny’s page, and I’m glad I did. The portraits are all marvelous. My fave is the one of Sara and Trig.

[retrokitten]

I first saw it right before I had my own son.

Oh wow. That had to make it even more emotional.

[retrokitten]

As believable as a 17 year old singing about Trouble,

Hey! He was saved by a woman! A groovy, groovy woman.

[retrokitten]

She might be buying for a smoothies shop

It would be very un-PC for me to describe her, but let me just say that in Chicago on Lower Wacker Drive there used to be these homeless guys who found some office furniture and set up a pretend office right there on the street. They would act like they were answering phones, filing things, and were just generally hard at work.

If this lady has a smoothie shop, it's probably right next to their office.

[retrokitten]

Hope you feel better today. ((RK))

Awww...thanks. I feel worse. LOL But it just means everything is clearing out.

I felt so crappy yesterday so I told work I wouldn't be in today so I could rest. It's actually the perfect day to be stuck at home with a cold. It's damp, rainy and grey.

[bootless]

Oh wow. That had to make it even more emotional.

(sniff) Yeah... and my little Freeper just turned 18! :)

It really was a good movie. Seeing Alec Baldwin as this utterly empty man who knew he was empty was really thought-provoking, especially for the times.

[commish]

THis just in: Top 12 theme - THE ROLLING STONES!!!!

I am almost, but not quite, hoping Todrick makes it now, just so we can see Satisfaction: The Musical! ROFL!!!!

Seriously though, I can see Siobhan absolutely slaying “Paint it Black”
