Live thread for comments on the American Idol finals Tuesday night, May 20, 2003!!!!

Have been trying non-stop from the Milwaukee area for Clay - can't get through from here either.

[Carolinamom]

I wonder if they'd take my vote via carrier pigeon. Can we have a seance? Thought transference? Smoke signals? I CAN'T get through. (But not quite desperate enough to get help from Danny Glover.)

Just wanted to comment here about the performances. I think Clay sealed the deal tonight. He was incredible on those last couple of songs.

Now back to bedrest.

[mystery-ak]

I've got through once....keep trying....Clay needs us...LOL

[AlwaysLurking]

I'm trying!!!! All circuits are busy from NC!

[A CA Guy]

I think the health factor that could land him next to Barry White leaves hinm at #2 if it's a business choice.

This isn't Fitness America, it's a singing competition. If they had to run a 10K race, you'd have a point.

Keep voting for those of us that can't, as long as it's Clay you're voting for of course ; )

But, of course. (Only been able to get 4 counted so far though.)

Good girl! Never compromise your values, even if it is for a good cause! ;)

[republicandiva]

Wow, have to stop trying to post and hit the phone at the same time...just went into a time warp and saw your post from the first page!

Busy voting here. Can't get through on voice. Almost certain, however, that my SMS text messaging votes are going through, even though I'm on Cingular instead of AT&T. I think it's working because out of the many votes I've sent, I've gotten four or five messages back saying, UNABLE TO PROCESS, which I think is the equivalent of a busy signal.

And BTW, you can send an SMS message by composing an e-mail to 8664365702@winbox.com . Subject VOTE and body of message VOTE is how I'm doing it.

(Ruben reminds me of a policeman I used to work with; Clay reminds me of my nephew. They're both cuddly.)

Love it ;)

[Luis Gonzalez]

Been dialing since they opened the lines, have yet to get through.

[JustPiper]

They are certainly a refreshing change from most of the junk out there in the music world today.

Bump!

[JustPiper]

Paul Anka...be still my heart(Im so old)...LOL

I cannot get over how sexy he still looks, hey count me in your group! LOL!

[JustPiper]

I CANNOT GET A DIAL TONE!!!!!!

In Chicago my phone was acting crappy too...so many calls I guess?

[Carolinamom]

Paul Anka hit the big time when he was 16! How old is he now?

[WatchOutForSnakes]

I can't get thru either. I've been trying for over an hour and nothing but busy signals. Speed dial, don't fail me now!!

[JustPiper]

Like Bush he does have a life besides the show

Clay said he could go home to his kids and be happy. Watching him tonight, I see that he is very hungry for the win ;)
