LMAO! You're cracking me up!

Anwar is your #1??? He's consistently bland. Carrie was the best, IMO.

This week, yes. I thought he sang the song well, and essentially wins the week by default as everyone else had some problems here and there. I love (well, lust after, to be honest) Carrie (can she bring Vonzelle along, too?), but she didn't do a convincing job on that song.

Next week, Scott belts out a song for Paula:

"You're a Rich Girl,
And I know your so drunk,
that you know it don't matter how I sing."


Oh...did you guys notice Bo's reaction when Seacrest finally said he was "safe?"

[silent_jonny]

but she didn't do a convincing job on that song.

I grudgingly agree. But she only did what the judges told her to do--"leave her comfort zone", "sing a different type of song". So Carrie sang a rock song instead of a country song, and for this the judges criticized her. What do they want?

Like Bill Murray says in "What About Bob?"
as to the demise of his marriage:

"There are two kinds of people in the world:
those who like Neil Diamond, and
those who don't."

[TonyWpi]

I agree with you that Anwar has the "best" male voice in the group. He's a music teacher so he's well trained and uses good vocal control.

The problem I have with Anwar is that I'm not sure if he was "checking out" Vonzell or Scott when they were in the bottom 3 together last week.

I still liked Carrie's Benatar number. We do that song in my band and my singer does it much better, but Carrie had to take a 5 minute song and chop it up into a minute and a half. Plus, she has a cold. I could hear it in her voice last night. I think that cost her some points, but not much.
She's a trooper!

I missed that--what did he do?

[jocon307]

Just replying to you because you're last.

CAN'T BEALIVE NADIA GOT THE BOOT!

WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

HUBBY IS HEARTBROKEN!

Ok, jocon...out!

[silent_jonny]

I love "What About Bob?"!!!

"I'm not a slacker, Dr. Marvin!"

[EDINVA]

"I don't think they are allowed to repeat."

Anthony was asked what he'd sing if he were the one voted off and he said he'd repeat from last night ... guess if it's your last hurrah you can do whatever you want .. you are no longer in the competiton.

[kevkrom]

BTW... the reason I'm late this week...

Daniel Addison, born 8:28 PM on Aprill 11, 2005, 8 lbs 2oz., 20 3/4 inches. I could get to Idol tonight only because the hospital kicked me out at the end of visitng hours... :)

[TonyWpi]

"I missed that--what did he do?"

I didn't notice if he gave Nadia a hug or a handshake, but I just saw him turn and walk back to where his seat was.
He looked like he just wanted to "sit down" and fast!

[Netizen]

"There are two kinds of people in the world: those who like Neil Diamond, and those who don't."

I think that can be said about most people.

[silent_jonny]

A lot of us are stunned. But honestly Nadia never recouped from the "mohawk incident".

[TonyWpi]

Congrats!!

I was late this week because I'm still doing my taxes.
Ouch!!

HUBBY IS HEARTBROKEN

That's how I felt when Bo landed in the bottom two. If they vote Bo out, I'm gonna stop watching!

Honestly, I think there's a bunch of teenage boys who have nothing better to do than call hour after hour, hoping to keep the substandard candidates in the competition, as a lark.

[silent_jonny]

Hey Congratualtions!!! I'd give you a cigar if I had one :)

[silent_jonny]

He looked like he just wanted to "sit down" and fast!

I bet so! I don't blame him.

[b9]

favorite line (from his dinner table) :
"M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m,
M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M,
-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m..."

[TonyWpi]

" I'd give you a cigar if I had one :)"

Maybe you can bum one from Clinton....
