First I need an offical ruling. If I set my alarm for 3am..get up, and post about 300 comments..and yes, they could be interesting observations.....would I win the 10,000th post prize? I'm not going to do so, but I think we should add a caveat to the contest. You can't win the 10,000th post prize if you post more than 4 consecutive posts to reach 10,000.

OK..fearless prediction time:

If Casey leaves because of health reasons, AI will add back another judge's save...heck..even if he stays they'll probably add one..

Remember Jasmine Trias?..She had the flower in her hair every show..How far did she go...? I forget

Elton week! Wow, I do like Elton John and I think a lot of the performers can handle his stuff.

Don’t know about the article’s song choices though.

Casey Abrams: “Honky Cat”
Haley Reinhart: “It Ain’t Gonna Be Easy”
Jacob Lusk: “Candle in the Wind”
James Durbin: “Believe”
Lauren Alaina: “The Bitch is Back”
Naima Adedapo: “I’m Still Standing”
Paul McDonald: “Tiny Dancer”
Pia Toscano: “Part-Time Love”
Scotty McCreery:”Cotton Fields”
Stefano Langone: “Your Song”
Thia Magia: “Can You Feel The Love Tonight”

Those are not the actual song picks, those are the article writer’s pIcks.

I sure would not have that cute little 16 year old singing “I’m a bitch..” sorry! Here are my choices for the idol guys to sing:

Casey: Saturday night
Rock it, feel it, no acting or growling, just perform and give us some fun.
Haley: I’m still standing
Because she barely is, and she could carry off that emotion.
Jacob:sorry seems to be the hardest word
I could see him shedding a tear while holding back his intensity and delivering this from his heart
James: ooh, has to be crocodile rock! Fun!
Lauren: your Song.
Different for her, tender, sweet
Naim a:
Paul:
Pia: someone saved my life tonight
It’s big and ballast, but you cannot not believe this personal song while singing it. Would be her big chance to show that emotion, move us.
Scotty: I guess that’s why they call it the blues
He could totally make it country.
Stefano:
Thia:

I think she went to Top Five. I recall people complaining about all the phone calls for her from Hawaii. She was cute!

[silent_jonny]

It didn’t bother me at all, lol. Post whatever you want, signorina :)

[Palladin]

There are no official rules, as far as I know. It’s mostly a matter of luck.

[silent_jonny]

LOL! Perfect. I expect we’ll get a lot of use out of those :)

[Yaelle]

Continued from previous because I could not scroll in the reply box to fill in my people, on the iPad.

Naim a: Sacrifice (like cleaning toilets)
Paul: tiny dancer, that actually is a perfect choice for him
Stefano: greatest discovery, one of the best Elton songs ever. No eye closing allowed.
Thia: I don’t want to hear her sing anything any more. She is too pageanty and phony and I don’t believe she can change. Maybe Don’t go breaking my heart?

I Might Take an Overdose of Pills If Anyone Sings These:

Can you feel the love tonight
Candle in the wind
Circle of life

[Yaelle]

I just realized about Paul that “tiny dancer” fits his tiny voice And his tiny little smokie. Even better.

[Palladin]

“Phat Ap”...what will they think of next?

Remember the fat and skinny mirrors at the Fun House in the old days?

[silent_jonny]

Well ... I guess the "no themes" idea is out the window :)

It looked good on paper probably, but I'm glad they're adding some variety.

[ken5050]

SJ RULES!..and MAKES the rules!!!

[Palladin]

ROFL! Seems like there’s a Snooki in every generation.

[ken5050]

I think it was because of the time zone difference, they had like an extra 5 hours to call from Hawaii..so her fans could really run up the numbers..

[Palladin]

Can you feel the love tonight
Candle in the wind
Circle of life

I hear Jacob is going to do a medley of these three. ;)

[silent_jonny]

We'll hit the 10,000th post some time during Wednesday night show, and with everyone posting at once there's no way to predict who'll get it. Unless someone does make 300-something posts between now and then, lol

BTW, Twin--You'll probably have to be on the thread in the wee hours of Thursday morning your time if you really want the prize ;-D

I hear Jacob is going to do a medley of these three. ;)

[Yaelle places a three-month supply of barbituates and a quart of Arrowhead next to the remote.]

[silent_jonny]

The only rule I have about the prize is if I (somehow) get the 10,000th post, I’ll award the prize to whoever gets 10,001st.

[silent_jonny]

LOL

[ken5050]

I hope you realize that OBSESSING about the 10,000th post, keeps me for a time from contemplating what Obama is doing to our beloved country. The AI thread is therapeutic...especially after my Flordia Gators AWAY THE FRIGGGIN’ GAME YESTERDAY! ARRRRRGGGGGGGGG!!
