always for Tammy

Hey, I love your site. I would like more Clay news...I wonder what he is doing while all this bad business is going on.

She is gorgeous though, but I think it's time a guy won. And Taylor is so fun!

[misterrob]

Life is better, thanks!

If its rigged then our votes mean nothing and neither do the two hours spent voting in vain.

Oh, I don't know that we'd be voting in vain, even if that happened to be the case. The winner would still have to be someone the public liked. I think the message is LOUD AND CLEAR that people will listen to and purchase music sung by people who can actually sing and entertain, are endearing and original, and respect their fans and their opportunities.

I'm really curious about this week, because logically Paris's votes are more likely to go to Eliot that Katherine, I would think. I would think the producers are re-thinking which singers can actually do a whole set, and might not do those little things that have favored Chris and Katherine.

Cartman's version of Ghetto is the best!! :)

If you all want to hear how a woman would sing “Hound Dog” to bring the house down, listen to Big Mama Thornton (the original singer of Hound Dog, I think). It is smokin’!

If Kat brings it like this, there might be a competition:

"Crypt Keeper"-LMAO!!!! Too many plastic surgeries. She's starting to look like Lisa Marie's ex. Yikes!

Glad that whole thing yesterday was just a rumor. Wonder how those things get started?...

[retrokitten]

Pictures of her should come with a warning: "Caution! This is what Scientology does to your face!!"

[b9]

"and BOW-WOW to you, too!"

LOL! Thanks. That was wonderful.

[retrokitten]

Doodlelady!! Good to see you again! I thought we had lost you forever. This calls for a glitter font...

[BamaDi]

thanks....and it's only 7 hours till this week's show!

[Apple Blossom]

We can always talk about something else.....like politics!

[I'm ALL Right!]

"...I just know there had to have been a better song choice than the one Chris picked. Weeks of being subjected to songs from Styx and Creed and now Shinedown have worn me down, and I feel trapped on the road to rock hell complete with burning flames onstage (which we've also seen before) as the backdrop. Can you imagine paying the big bucks to go to a concert and hearing Chris sings 12 tunes like these? Help!"

Trapped on the road to rock hell....lol. Glad to see someone else is getting bored with the consistently black-on-black wardrobe choices.

LOL -- I thought plastic surgery was supposed to make them look better!

Ha. I asked him about that, too. He's not associated with sirlinksalot.net. Just a crazy coincidence that he hangs out here and a site with his name happens to be a catch-all for AI articles.

It's actually more of a "girl" song lyrically. Women call men "dogs" all the time.

You're right about that. BUT I DO LINK A LOT :)

Do you know of a board for that sort of thing?

Then why does Randy Jackson call himself and others DAWG ?

[Wolfstar]

I think she looks darned good for a woman who will turn 61 on May 24 (born 1945). I don't think her plastic surgeries have made her look anywhere near as clownist as, oh, Nancy Pelosi. :)
