AI Jr will be more fun for the stage moms than the kids. As much as I love to see talented kids, I hate to see them give up their childhood to become performers.

[Cordova Belle]

I thnk that's the reason why they DON'T monitor attempts on this show---because of the use of automated dialers, whatever those are.

I just want the vote to be fair---I'm not for those using some sort of computerized dialers.

But I wish somehow the legitimate attempts could be tallied.

By the way, justshe, thanks!!

Oooooooh, do I want to monitor this thread and find out before it airs here or not?

I was thinking that we could keep posting on this thread, and then, when they get ready to annouce, we people on the east coast could put up a WARNING for everybody to stop reading.

Would that work?

[William McKinley]

I said but I'm tired
I been walking all day
Trying to get a job
So I can pay you the rent next Friday

She said yeah?

I said oh yeah.

And then she was so nice.

Lord, she was lovey dovey.

Why not? It's a 'live thread', everyone has been warned. They have nearly two hours to decide if they want to know now or wait. We are freepers, we can take responsibility for our decisions.

[Cordova Belle]

The FR live commentary theads are funnier and more entertaining than the events we cover most of the time!

You got that right!!!

SImon also rejected Britney Spears when she auditioned for a record deal/song.

'Baby one More TIme' was originally supposed to be recorded by TLC and SImon gave the song to her and said that no one with that name would ever become a star

Does it start at 8 or 830? Need to know so I can gauge whether to stay at work past 515 (my time).

[Howlin]

Pretty much. At least I'm easily amused, as evidenced on this very thread.

[Cordova Belle]

Sorry! LOL!!! We really creamed you, didn't we...?

I apologize.

Never get between a fan and their Clay! ;-)

[justshe]

You're welcome!!!!!!

And no......I didn't use an automatic dialer.

My index finger (which was hitting the redial button) is crippled for life.......but.....it will be worth it if Clay wins!

I don't think Rueben sang an original song last night. Here's his list from last night and the songwriter.

A House is Not a Home-Burt Bacharach

Imagine-John Lennon

Flying Without Wings-Steve Mac/Wayne Hector

[William McKinley]

A nice rack compensates for many ills (such as an inability to sing and a nondescript name).

[Howlin]

LOL.....me either. I'm already looking forward to the next one.

[Cordova Belle]

I'm applying Ben Gay ointment to mine!!! LOL!!

[Amazed1953]

Will the voting involve chads?

[pbear8]

It's a lot like watching it with 100 friends.

[psjones]

You know you're hooked when you leave your husband in the kitchen talking to himself because it's time to go watch American Idol, or if he happens to call when the show is about to come on you rush to get off the phone :-).

[Howlin]

What other sites?

[cyncooper]

Yes, I do.....but I wondered if those in "other time zones" would want me to do that????

My vote, as one in another time zone, is YES, live commentary should be posted by those interested. We have a choice to read or turn away to be surprised. Heck, the big announcement won't come to the end anyway.
