I didn't go wild calling but called off and on through the four hours.. I was multi multi tasking.. playing POGO (Wargod was helping me learn a game and get a badge), watching tv ff thru commercials, trying to type and dealing with Critter who was trying to oust the phone, dvr remote and keyboard from my lap, and also checking this thread before I had viewed the show but after it ended so I could get the phone numbers. I voted for Melinda, Jordin and LaKisha and one accidental vote for Chris..

<eta: oops.. I must have thought I was in the news thread.. yes, Sanjaya.. I had used the word cocky and then there was Paula using it >

Hmm, well I guess Paula agrees with me.. she was on the Late Late Show and AOL has a small clip, she says he went from quiet to cocky, basically thumbing his nose and rolling his eyes (she showed us that, didn't use the words) when they would attempt to critique his performances..says by week 5 he was ready to start his own record label.

She sounded sort of sad/mystified/amused (but who knows with Paula?)

has anyone heard any rumors about what the biggest shocker in AI history is going to be? I mean, last season they had Prince on the finale. How are they going to top that one?

LOL, Maris, too too funny!

I am hoping it will be a duet with Randy and Simon....

Sugar, the person who did a duet with Elliott last year was Mary Blige, and I found her to be very rude walking off the stage without Elliott. Her actions that night, said words about her character.

Do you think she acted out of character in her AI appearance? I don't remember much about it.

I thought that many of the duets last year were rather odd. The Katharine/Meatloaf one for example. I'm embarrassed to say that I can't remember who sang "In the Ghetto" with Taylor but it was one of the strangest performances I think I've ever seen. She looked so happy singing it (which is nice) but it certainly didn't fit the mood of the song.

My vote for biggest shocker is Whitney Houston is going to perform. Makes sense because of the Clive Davis connection. Just my vote - I'm probably wrong.

Shhhh, you aren't allowed to say anything bad about MJB! LOL!

Anywhoooo, I think the shocker will be Michael Jackson will perform or Britney Shears. It'd be good for Whitney to perform.

ETA: I catch myself liking people on the show who resemble someone I know. Phil looks like my best friends husband, Chris looks like my BIL, Melinda looks like a gal I work with. Jordan has one hell of a set of pipes...

Jimmer, Toni Braxton is the "star" who sang with Taylor.

I was so disappointed with Lakisha's song choice and performance last night. I would have loved to see her go to her gospel roots and knock everyone's socks off with a powerful heartfelt performance. What has happened to Lakisha? She has lost her zest and will in this contest. Is she missing her child, is she thinking she is better off not winning (ala Chris) and getting the record deal on her own? I really wanted her to win, but she doesn't seem to want it bad enough to convince me to vote for her.

I dont get how nobody sang Pride by U2. IT would seem that if Bono is performing they wouldnt have a problem with someone singing one of their songs and that is a great song to belt out.

I agree too. It may sound funny to say it this way but when this all started I was prepared to love Lakisha and Melinda. I hadn't given Jordin much thought.

Now I am all for Jordin winning!

This article says last night's show, despite all the hype, had the lowest ratings of all the Tuesday performance night shows this year.

Re Naja's post at 3:35 pm: This article says last night's show, despite all the hype, had the lowest ratings of all the Tuesday performance night shows this year.

How do they do the Nielsen ratings and get the results back so fast?

I'm only asking because a few months ago, I got a package in the mail to fill out what I watched from "Nielson". I was supposed to fill it out for a whole week then mail it back in. I tossed it and kept the $2 or $5 they included in the package.

So, If I had a whole week to fill out the forms and then mail it back, how can that article, the very next day, say it was the lowest rated show for the season?

Just curious.

Interesting question, so I did some research. This from Nielsenmedia.com.

If you have just been contacted by Nielsen TV Ratings, this is your chance to participate in a select sample. We may have asked you to fill out a diary, keep a television meter in your home, or just answer some questions by mail or over the telephone.

So the overnight ratings must only be garnered from the homes with a meter.

Ahhhhh.... Thanks Aurora. So, if Nielen is getting their numbers from 3 different sources and at different times, then everyone can pick and chose what they want to use to fit in w/ whatever they are saying.

No wonder Trump can keep saying he has the #1 show w/ the Apprentice.

It's not called picking and choosing, it's preliminary results, and all the news sources post the same thing.

If you meant "I can pick and choose", my point was that for such a big deal they made of this, it backfired. Everything they do is for ratings. That's the bottom line.

Also, the "preliminary" results for Wednesday's show show it's down 1% from last week's results show and up 2% from last year's top 6 results shows. With those numbers, I bet a donut they don't do anything like this again. It's didn't bring in even more viewers for them to boast about.

Naja, I didn't mean to offend.

I asked how they got results back so quickly, considering my own, limited, personal experience w/ the Nielsens.

Aurora responded with an answer that explained it and then I thanked her for it. I then went on to make an Apprentance joke.

That's about it in a nutshell.

LOL Maris...but I considering the number of Sanjaya jokes and the number of times they focused on him in the audience...you would of thought he was still a contender...I mean I didn't see Haley or Gina, or Chris or Stephanie featured...

For someone who many thought was bringing the show down, they spent an awful lot of time showing Sanjaya.
