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

I am on the West coast. And after about 11 pm.....I could get thru every time I dialed, from Oregon.

Watch out for Kazaa. We had to delete it because they are notorious for Spyware. Check out IMESH.

I have this; works like a champ!

I love Search & Destroy! Unbelievable the stuff it picks up...

[Howlin]

I just got that a few weeks ago, after reading about it on a thread here on FR; amazing!

[pbear8]

It was easier after 11:00, I got in eight times before I finally went to bed.

What are they going to do for two hours tonight though?

[OldFriend]

I began dialing at 9 and didn't get in until 11:40 eastern........but I wouldn't give up!!! Had to vote for Clay.

For the most part they will no doubt do a retrospective tonite. Bring back some of the past favorites, and just take up time.

[pbear8]

Wow, that's dedication. May it be rewarded tonight!

[OldFriend]

LOL.....2 in the morning was a bit late for me.......I wonder if the lines are still open......anyone try?

[OldFriend]

I believe I read that Simon was the producer for the Spice Girls.........he's no slouch that's for sure.

One thing that he doesn't quite get is the hunger of Americans for down home type kids.

Kelly Clarkson was more than a magnificent voice, she was a cutie pie in her attitude too.

[OldFriend]

Nothing like putting the phone under the covers and redialing in the dark........LOL......not even embarrassed by the whole addiction!!!

[OldFriend]

Trenyce had an arrest record........her real name was LaShunda..........not a good image for American Idol.

[ican'tbelieveit]

Or yesterday was all about what Clay would have to do to beat Ruben. Get real, Clay was my choice.

[ican'tbelieveit]

I did not like Kimberly Caldwell at all. Remember in the early part of the competition when they gave the other girl (Julie I think is her name) grief? Disliked her from that moment on.

What are they going to do for two hours tonight though?

I'm sure Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini will be performing, as well as, all of the other Top 10 Idol contestants from this season. Then, of course, Clay and Ruben will sing a few numbers.

They will ask each and every person who they think should win, from the judges to the audience to the other finalists and then FINALLY, they will get down to the wire.

The actual results will not be read until 9:50pm, IMHO.

At 9:55pm, Clay..er...I mean, the winner will sing their soon-to-be-released single for the audience, confetti will fall , tears will flow and we'll all be left sighing and waiting for Clay's...er, I'm sorry....I mean, the winner's new album to come out. ;)

[RMDupree]

Very plastic, very snobbish.

She reminded me of the cheerleader captain in most movies who teases the nice, but not so pretty girls in an effort to make herself feel better.

I can see her being cast in that exact role sometime in the near future.

[Fawnn]

Trenyce had an arrest record........her real name was LaShunda..........not a good image for American Idol.

I can picture her doing a Cher-style Vegas show. (She has that long lean figure drag queens seem to like to emulate.) ;)

[OldFriend]

She has a sly look about her tho.......

Quite a story she told about her arrest.......said a friend stole clothing from a store and she Trenyce brought them back and was arrested...............sheesh

[OldFriend]

Watched one of those insider shows and they said that Trenyce had fought with all the girls, changed roommates three times and always put the blame on everyone else.

[RMDupree]

She has a sly look about her tho.......

That look is exactly why I tend to believe the reports of her (and Kimberly Caldwell's) less-than-sweet behavior at the mansion.
