That's not true. Come on. She sang her bit very nicely last night I thought.
I'm a fan because the music is so great!

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice took time out from matters of war and peace to catch this week's finale of American Idol. Unlike many adults who claim they watch the show only because their kids commandeer the TV, Condi is an unabashed fan.
Rice was rooting for fellow Birmingham native Taylor Hicks and will soon send him a congratulatory letter, says a State Department official. The Alabama connection helps explain why she has long been glued to the show: last year's runner-up Bo Bice is also a 'Bama boy, as was the winner of the second Idol competition, Ruben Studdard. But Condi is also part of nationwide Idolmania, as Tuesday night's competition drew some 32 million viewers — the biggest audience of the show's five seasons.
According to the State Department official, Idol isn't the only junk food on Condi's TV diet. She also watches Law & Order and was a fan of The Bernie Mac Show before its cancellation. But while there are no plans at the moment for a Condi-Taylor duet, Idol fans cast a total of 63.4 million votes Tuesday night — which host Ryan Seacrest pointed out was "more than any President in the history of our country has ever received." And since 35% of American Idol fans believe the votes cast in the singing competition count as much or more than in a Presidential election, maybe those itching for Condi to run in '08 will try to get her a guest appearance on the show.
It's about 500 years too early to write off America. We survived World Wars, A civil war, assasinations, 40 years of liberal control in the congress and Jimmuh Carter. And we ain't doing so bad despite it all.
AI is simple entertainment. No sex, no liberal slant, no cussin. Just kids warbling out covers of the oldies. LOL
Was this last night? I missed the show this week.
I know, and while I never had them during my pregnancy, I sure knew what they were! And I've been a recovering punaholic. Why didn't I put that together?! ROFL.
She was good entertainment, thats why we watch the show right? IT was funny last night the skits with her and that chef! :)
Yes, it was last night - it was quite a show!
I missed it the last couple of weeks, so I missed the chef. I see they are touring this summer as a gruop, coming to my town. I think I''' save my schekels and buy a beer at the watering hole instead. LOL
Wife said the same thing.
LOL! That's good.
I'd love to know the backstory on THAT one!
:) you should see if its on the internet for download, they had a few different skits with her and the chef that were hilarious! the chef tried to get her to eat snails! OMG, her reaction was exactly what mine would have been! Then he brought out a live lobster and he picked it up and moved it towards her and she started to scream! LOL maybe its on "you tube" or something?
Kellie was very funny with the lobsters. She has a gift for comedy. I expect to see her on her own sitcom some day.
That's not true. Come on. She sang her bit very nicely last night I thought.
I'm a fan because the music is so great!
Just for reference
She is a gorgeous young woman and looks much more sophisticatd with that shorter hairdo.
Someone should cast her in the Dolly Parton role in a remake of "9 to 5", one of the funniest movies ever made.
thanks for the photo BTW... hubba hubba ;)
The Dolly Parton thing goes to Carrie Underwood...her hair was much bigger then Dolly's ever was LOL.
I like the longer hair also, its to short and makes her look older... I wonder why girls do that? I see it all the time... they have pretty long hair and they chop it off right when it looks great. hmmm
McPhee does nothing for me. :\ something about her is yucky. not sure what it is.
