Mullett. out.

LMAO!

[MagUSNRET]

Amelia.....the other white meat?

[silent_jonny]

That kid needs to be watched. He should go on suicide watch. I’ve never seen such a despondent contestant.

That was unsettling. Then Mullet didn't know how to get off the stage. Seacrest had to almost push him.

[Palladin]

ROFL!

[Miss Didi]

Groovy news! Are they strips or is it the rinse?

[silent_jonny]

I missed it!

One of the women on the balcony above the stage was doing something with her hands while Mullet was singing. (I don't know if she's his mom or not, LOL. She was dressed in black with black hair.) For a second it looked just like she was playing air-guitar. Or conducting a symphony. Odd.

[MagUSNRET]

Exorcist? (just a thought)

[silent_jonny]

Paige should have gone home so that Lilly and Katie would have a place in the top 12, IMO.

You're absolutely right. Without Paige, both of them would be in.

This is messed up.

[silent_jonny]

wonder if they are putting 13 through again this year?

I wish they had.

[silent_jonny]

However, if Crystal can’t complete the contract because of illness, one of these two may be called back.

Hm.

[MagUSNRET]

Affirmative Action yet again run amuck

Crao..Lilly’s gone...no way she deserved to go. But it was her fault. Absolutely the wrong song choice. Look, all of us here on the AI thread..we’re adults..yet we forget that the vast majority of those who watch and vote on AI are teens and tweeners...and they couldn’t relate to that song..they tuned her out..heck..if a young Patsy Cline herself had sang it, she’d have been sent home also..

[silent_jonny]

Does anyone know what health issue is plaguing Crystal?

They've never been clear about it. The first report when she went to the hospital said "abdominal pain", but that could mean anything. Or nothing.

[silent_jonny]

I sure hope everyone is kind enough not to ever let Katie watch the other contestants’ reactions to her over Lilly.

LOL! That's true--no one appeared happy.

[silent_jonny]

Rule to remember: no Patsy Cline.

Yep.

[silent_jonny]

Night, EG! :)

[MagUSNRET]

“abdominal pain”,

This can mean many things..food poisoning? Menstrual cramps? constipation? Bladder infection? kidney stone?pregnancy? Ulcerative colitis?, I need to come up with something so I can get more vicodin or percodet?, the possibilities are endless...but I will say, this evening, she appeared to be someone that is in pain....she was guarding when she walked and sat down....she has great talent...I hope she does well, but I hope she GETS well, more.

[silent_jonny]

Wow. Who rigged the votes tonight?

I think it was just the bad luck of the draw. I don't know how Idol could benefit from Lilly or even Katelyn going home.

[MagUSNRET]

As much as I love you and this thread...I sincerely believe this is the LAST season of AI.

[silent_jonny]

I'm guessing the Patsy Cline song had a lot to do with it. The tweens in the audience were saying "Patsy who?"

And, as much as I like Lilly, her performance of the song was a little off-putting. "I fall to peeeee-cessss"
