Aug 6th Show
Webkitty | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:18 am     Jan, I don't think so because they showed a clip of her saying that college is important to her and if she didn't win she would go back to finish. She also said she looked at this American Idol adventure as a fun summer. She seems very grounded. Also, I got the impression that whatever is wrong with her might be rather serious (just a feeling on my part) but she seemed ok the night before, so I am thinking a sudden attack of apendisitis?(sp) Or something LIKE it, that might come on suddenly? I don't have the time to scout out other boards, so maybe someone here can find out and give us the scoop! Also, it might be on ET or EXtra tonight. I think the teeny boppers who are "in love" with RJ called in massive votes for him because he slipped up and forgot the words the other night, thinking he might get voted out because of it. Go figure I said this above, but I don't think this will be the last the public will see of Christina. Simon is entralled with her, he has a lot of weight in the music business, he will help her IF she wants it.  |
Webkitty | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:23 am     Eden, I didn't see your post. Where did you read this? |
Hereiam | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:49 am     Anyone think that Simon's comment to Christina about her being engaged may have cost her some votes??? Just wondering, maybe the judges do have some power left. |
Brenda1966 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:36 am     Hereiam, I thought about that when Simon said "you have a fiancee". How many teenage girls can relate to that? I think it probably did cost her votes with the teeny bopper crowd. Teenagers generally don't want married idols. When Donny Osmond got married they tried to keep it hush hush becuase they knew it'd hurt his career. LOL! I'm shocked that Christina was voted out. Just goes to show you how powerful and numerous the young ones calling in are. I agree that she is probably more appreciated by adult fans. I'm not surprised that the teenyboppers love RJ, he is adorable! And he seems very sweet, not like ego maniac Justin (who seems fake to me). This just goes to show how important it is for us smarties to call in a vote. Go Kelly! |
Rissa | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:19 am     Eden, I think you are right. Didn't they say right on the show that she was feeling ill probably just due to exhaustion but to make sure they took her to the hospital? I didn't get the impression it was anything serious but it did cross my mind that perhaps that was the reason she didn't perform so well on Tuesday (although she wasn't up to her best, still think she outsang Nikki and RJ). |
Wcv63 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 11:30 am     During the "final words to Christina" from the other contestants, were your heart strings as mine were listening to Kelly? Tamyra was polished and cool and were Justin and Nikki. Kelly was real and let her emotions show as did RJ (although I think RJ's tears may have been relief that he was still there). |
Marymc | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 12:00 pm     I just read that Christina was hospitalized for exhaustion/dehydration and that she had been released by the time the show was on, so she was watching it with family and friends. I have to wonder if she knew the results..... |
Mejane | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:00 pm     I read on another board something that may have caused Christina to lose last night. Apparently, there's a large, nasty bunch of people trying desperately to get Justin voted out. As such, they are each throwing hundreds of votes to RJ and Nikki, calling over and over again, hundreds of times, in the assumption that Justin would also land in the bottom three like the week before. By this crazy logic, they figured they could ensure that Justin got the least amount of votes. Apparently, it backfired badly on them. I was reading all of this yesterday afternoon and thought it completely sucked. They were breaking their votes down to percentages, i.e. "Give Tamyra 10%, Kelly 10% because they don't need votes, Give RJ and Nicki 35% each, etc." Reminded me of BB1 and the Chicken George, Brittany vote ploy. It's disgusting. |
Pamy | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:52 pm     Christina was still at the hospital at 10pm last nite(after the show aired here in CA)Our local news(LA) was broadcasting outside the hospital she was in and said her family and the kids from the show were with her. She probably knew she lost before the show aired here since it is only live on the east coast. They said she was in for dehydration, didn't sound to be too serious.

Realfan | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 03:00 pm     That is disgusting, Mejane. Am I the only one who wasn't that keen on Christina's singing? I think she's gorgeous. But her lack of vibratto bugged me. Well, she sometimes had vibratto, but it was so fast and trilly, it seemed strange. However, I think that style of voice could work well in some types of songs. I feel bad for her for being sick when she got the news. And Simon loves her, so she'll do OK, I bet! And R.J. is forgettable. He's out next, or Nikki. If the Anti-Justin League keeps up their ploy and really had an effect, who knows? |
Admin | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 03:10 pm     Dehydration? I think she's anorexic. |
Aria | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 03:27 pm     Admin, I thought she looked underweight the other night before she went in the hospital. She could be anorexic but then again maybe she isn't and has some other medical problem. BTW I caught a little snippet of EXTRA this afternoon about her but I didn't catch the beginning where they said what happened to her, did anyone else? |
Webkitty | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 04:05 pm     Entertainment Tonight (ET) is about to come on here, Paula will give behind the scenes comments. Just a heads up to east coasters  |
Webkitty | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 04:20 pm     Ok, they are going to tell us about it. Christina was rushed to the ER right after the performance show the other night. She had shortness of breath about 2 hours before the show. Tests showed she had bad sineses(sp) and stress. The shows psychologist told her she was kicked off, she took it well. They will bring her back next week for a proper send off. Anyone else see this? Did I get it all correct? |
Webkitty | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 04:22 pm     Next up, is Simon as rude as he seems? Paula speaks out........ |
Bigbird | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 04:24 pm     Webkitty, thanks for the updates. I'm a west coaster and was chomping at the bit to hear what ET said...couldn't bear the thought of having to wait another 3 hours to catch the update. Thanks for the posts...I'll keep reading. |
Webkitty | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 04:30 pm     Paula says that some of the comments Simon makes are appalling. America loves to hate him? Sexual tension rumors, Paula snickers and says oh, of course, I just can't stop thinking about him, I have it bad for him (she's rolling her eyes) Thats it.  |
Webkitty | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 04:34 pm     Your welcome Bigbird! I will watch Extra next, they might have some info too, but I'm also running around getting ready to watch BB so I'm just keeping one eye on this. |
Webkitty | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 04:46 pm     Extra is on, Ryan Seacreast is going to talk about it. She was rushed to the hospital hours before the live eviction show. She received the news while she was in the hospital. That was it? Ok, I REALLY have to go! |
Luvmom | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 08:03 pm     It sounds like I'm the only 30ish person here who really enjoys RJ'S singing.I know he goofed up last week and he admitted it.I don't like Christina's voice at all.I think she is very pretty though.RJ is someone I'd have no trouble let my daughter listen to and he would be a great role model (Anyone for Eminem,NOT!!). I hope he makes it next week but over all I'd like to see Kelly win it all. |
Jenhavins | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 06:14 am     No you are not Luv (hum...I think we have spoken about RJ before)! I have kept quiet in order to not raise the dead to scream at me. I do like R.J. because he consistently has a nice tone to his voice. Christina has not been consistent with her singing. R.J. had one bad night on stage (voice wise not dance wise because he freaks me out when he dances), but I still think his voice is beautiful. I cannot say the same about Christina. And, I will be 37 in November!!!. I said it right from the 1st show about R.J. when nobody even remembered even seeing this guy. Now that I have said that, I don't think R.J. will win this show. I think Kelly is the winner hands down. She projects her voice and is a major powerhouse in my book. I have read some mean vile things about R.J. on other boards (it is just disgusting about what is said about all the contestants). I think all these young adults have done a fantastic job and wish them the best of luck. |
Tvjunkie | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 10:08 pm     I couldn't agree more with Jenhavins. I too support RJ, and think his singing is consistently good. I just hope he remembers the words from now on! Anyone can learn to dance better, singing well is a talent! I do believe though, that Kelly has this thing won, and Tamyra will be runner-up. Christina did not have the best performance the last time she was on the show, so I was not surprised when she was voted out. Nikki is good, but she is simply a rocker and none of the genres have suited her style very well. Justin is okay, but I just want to shear that head of his and make a sweater when I look at him (sorry). He started off so powerful, but I believe he is slipping. Is the pressure getting to him? I applaud the contestants on a job well done. It is quite an amazing feat to make it as far as they all have. I'm sure some of them will still get record contracts even if they don't win on the show.  |
Jenhavins | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:42 am     I am so excited...Someone agrees with Me. Little ole'me! Sorry, kind of went off the deep end for a second there! |
