[fatima]

[Miss Didi]

Dearest Pat,
My heart is so sad to hear this...please know that you and your family are in my prayers. You have always been a special friend over the years; please know I am here for you. Big hug. :)

Glad to see VFTW step on their tallywhackers.

Wow, Dial Idol was sure wrong Wronger as wrong could be. Worst in their history.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That and VFTW.... Glad it went that way..

dialidol claims 100% accuracy by, for instance, when there are 6 Idols left, their statistics show 1 of them is safe and the other 5 are all in danger of being in the bottom 3 and going home. Then, whichever of the 5 they say is bottom 3 gets the boot, they say their prediction was accurate. This week they showed ALL SIX of the contestants in a near statistical tie (with Candice having a very slight edge over the other 5) with all of them potentially going home. So no matter which of the contestants got the boot this week, dialidol would be claiming an accurate prediction.

VFTW was way wrong in every season except the last two where they picked Scotty Mcreery and Phillip Phillips. Given the record sales of those two Idol winners, and that I'm guessing the VFTW folks didn't buy either of their albums, they didn't have a thing to do with those two guys winning.

VFTW picks from when they first began in season 3:

Season 3 - Jennifer Hudson
Season 4 - Scott Savol
Season 5 - Kevin Covais
Season 6 - Antonella Barba
Season 7 - Kristy Lee Cook
Season 8 - Megan Joy
Season 9 - Tim Urban
Season 10 - Scotty Mcreery
Season 11 - Phillip Phillips
Season 12 - Lazaro Arbos

VFTW just goes on what Nigel Lithgoe scripts his judge monkeys say based on who he wants to win in the end.

They have some power of course but in the end they have no concept of what’s happening on the show.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Of course because the VFTW slackers don’t watch the show.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Please pray, Logan's Prayer Warriors..

Fishtalk, I'm SO sorry to read this...I've called in some mighty fine folk who will pray for you and your family.

fatima, thanks for the ping.

[luvie]

God rest the soul of your beloved husband and may God hold you close in His mighty arms and give you strength and comfort as only He can!

God bless and keep you!

[Jim Robinson]

I’m so sorry. Prayers on the way.

[fatima]

((((Hugs))))

[lysie]

I’m so sorry.

[Alamo-Girl]

I’m so sorry for your loss and join with all the others here lifting you and the loved ones up to God for His peace, blessing and guidance as you deal with your husband’s homegoing.

[Diver Dave]

Prayers of Comfort for you and your family. May Mr. Fishtalk be surrounded by angels on his journey home with our Great and Wonderful GOD.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT

Whoever wins, Kree and Candice should do a duet album at some time...and they'd make a great salt 'n pepper stage act..

If they could find a may to make her seem taller ( heck, they do it for Tom Cruise on all of his films) Kelly Clarkson would be PERFECT to play Janis Joplin in a biopic..

Good one. Haven’t seen that used in quite awhile. Very appropriate.

Thanks for that insight on both of these sources.....

[1Old Pro]

Angie - I do not like her. I recognize her skills but her phony demeanor turns me off. Yep, I hate the way she follows the camera. Very contrived/plastic. Whn I see a great musician perform they don't even relize there IS a camera they are sooo into the music.

[lonevoice]

You’re welcome! I think both of those sites have created their own hype and perception that they’ve ever been accurate, in the case of dialidol, or had any power, in the case of VFTW. It’s never been true of either.
