OK, Haley's gone..but Lauren's deserving. However, reading the thread, I'm quite surprised, and a tad disappointed, at the animus and vituperation in many of the comments about her...some even calling her a b**ch..I mean, come on...the thread is getting to be, well..less fun than in past seasons..it's just a silly singing contest, and these are all youngsters..We may need some ground rules, and more self-policing, next season

Il Volo is magnificent. I've known of them for a year, have a CD..never seen them before..FINALLY, a "boy band" I can relate to. The Three Tenors LIVES again..heck..if they ever make a biopic about the THREE TENORS, these guys can play them as youngsters, kind of like DeNiro did, playing the young Don Corleone is Godfather II.

The other act..Nicole somebody..looked like she should be on a stripper pole in Tony Soprano's BadaBing Club

Saw the commercial for THE NEXT BIG THING..Simon Cowell's show..and I think that Nicolle person is one of the hosts/judges? What's it about? Will all TV be a talent show next year?

Whoever wins, I hope that Scotty and Lauren do at least one duet on the CD..they'd be great.

Apologies for the following rant, but I feel it's warranted:

Watching the show last night, I was touched by Lauren's reaction when she saw the tornado devastation. Then Irealized, that, hey, this season..we didn't have the usual AI begathon. Maybe they decided not to do it..it was getting old, any many of us here were often critical of it.

However, if ever there was a need to raise funds, this was the occasion. I didn't know that Seacrest was from Georgia. They could raise millions.

They could probably put something together real fast for next week. I'd like to email the show's producers to suggest it. Anyone have an email address that might work?..and hopefully encourage others here to also write them to ask them to do this.

Ken I agree with you. Haley was never my favorite and I think her entitled attitude is horrible. BUT some of the comments were really uncalled for and disgusting. Calling her a “slut” among other things. That’s just ugly.

I’m shocked season after season that SJ doesn’t throw his hands up and say, “That’s it!”

Good for you. I didn't know about them until a few days ago, and I am bowled over. They are utterly charming.

I agree with your observations about vile attacks on Haley during the season. It reminded me too much of junior high schoolers who gang up on one other girl outside their clique. And we know that, as Haley fans, we were "outsiders" on the thread.

I mean, yeah, it's okay to have a strong opinion about a particular performance, or the mannerisms of a performer, but keeping in mind this is "just a silly singing contest" and could observe some boundaries in our judgements.

I don't understand people getting pleasure out of cutting others to shreds, especially people they don't know, and much younger ones at that. Don't we remember being young...????
