In Memory of Bahbah and Carolinamom

[La Enchiladita]

That’s an important question, I’m sure....LOL.

I don’t go out of the way for their music or performances. Last night was enough of it. Beyonce too heavy on the drama for me.

Did anyone else here buy Scotty’s single? I have to say that hearing the studio version, his voice is freaking Amazing. He has incredible tone. He sounds better than 95% other country artists. Wow.

And I am not even a country fan; I just wanted to support him.

[Chunga]

Scotty's a good dude. I think he'll be a real star.

But Lauren Alaina sings circles around him. If people can't hear that they're stone-cold deaf...and dumber than dirt.

[Chunga]

what's the difference between Beyonce and J-Lo..music, genre, talent, ability, whatever?

Have you ever heard J Lo sound anywhere near as good as Beyonce sounded last night?

Beyonce sang so beautifully I'm surprised she still has a butt.

[just me]

I just downloaded some of his songs... I love his voice..

I guess I am dumber then dirt..

[Chunga]

Anyone who is a fan of country music will download Lauren's single. It's breathtaking. She's 16 years old. A SUPERSTAR!

[Netizen]

Don’t worry. You are in good company.

Your song ‘I Love You This Big’ is currently number one on iTunes. How do you feel about that?

“That’s the first I’ve heard! That’s amazing! That is wild. I love the song, it’s a great song. When they pitched it to me, I fell in love with it. Last night, when I sang it for my finale song, it was kind of a choked up performance but I got through and hugged my family. That’s amazing that it’s number one!”

[Chunga]

Actually, Lauren's song "Like My Mother Does" is currently at #3, while McCreery's "I Love You This Big" is at #4.

I’m east coast, but I could never host a thread. Even now I haven’t seen the opener. Cranky hubby made me record it!

Of the 1/2 hour or so I saw, it looked pretty good.

I actually thought the fellow with the bullet in his arm was QUITE GOOD. Athletic and yet Artistic, very fluid movements.

[Chunga]

Lauren Alaina's "Like My Mother Does" is currently the #1 country song on ITunes.

McCreery's "I Love You This Big" is at #2.

Kara DioGuardi: 'I almost died' after accidentally eating pot brownies at Paula Abdul's house

The incident, which happened before the two teamed up on "Idol," left DioGuardi feeling high enough that she fell out of bed, though she didn't know that marijuana was the cause.

"But they weren't hers," DioGuardi explained of finding the brownies in Abdul's kitchen. "Someone had left them from a party and [froze] them."

"I had six," the songwriter said. "I almost died."

Several hallucinations and I.V. treatments later, DioGuardi recovered.

Lauren is on Leno right now and Piers Morgan is one of the guests and he just told her he thought she had the better voice...Lauren responded that she tried out twice for his show (America’s Got Talent) and never even made it to the judges. Piers was shocked! It was quite humorous!

[Netizen]

Now THAT’S funny!

[silent_jonny]

Good morning, my friend!

Took me a while to catch up ;)

[silent_jonny]

LOL!

314 now :)

[silent_jonny]

Which reminds me—WE HAD NO BEGATHON!

Yes! Even when they didn't have the usual begapalooza this year, I thought they might slip something into the finale. Pleasantly surprised they didn't.

[silent_jonny]

I'd ask jonny but I might get my answer in like two hours.

Or two days ;-D

[silent_jonny]

Jack Black wanted a hug lmao!

LOL!! Check out the look from Scotty's uncle? grandpa? in the middle. Like he's wondering who that is.
