Theowl | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 08:59 pm     I have never called in for anyone, but tonight I called for Kim and got in 16 times. That was during commercials while I was watching 24. What a GREAT show tonight. 24 I mean!!  |
Danimom | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 10:07 pm     I've been voting for Kim constantly since the show ended, been about an hour. My mother and my daughter are also voting for her. When the home phone lines ties up, went to the cell phones and get through as fast as I can hit redial! GO KIM!!!!! |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 11:17 pm     I called the whole two hours. It was very busy "before" the phone lines opened, but I managed to get a few in then. For the first 25 minutes I only got through about 1 in 20 calls. Then it got slightly easier. By 9:50, it pretty much was wide open. I spent the whole last hour calling non-stop. Good Luck Kim!! |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 11:30 pm     I got in TEN calls before the end of the show.. then it got busy on and off.. I just redialed for the entire two hours, but here it cuts off right at 11pm. These are the only times I wish I still had two phone lines. |
Max | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 08:48 am     I logged in 50 votes via text messaging. GO KIM! |
Spitfire | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 09:05 am     Go Kim!!!! |
Bcandscott | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 09:17 am     Hah, I wondered if anyone else was watching 24 and phoning in votes during commercials. 24 is ALWAYS a good show. |
Crazydog | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 09:21 am     Go Kim!!!!! "Band of Gold" especially rocked! Even if she doesn't win the competition, I really would like to see her get signed and release a CD. She is the only contestant that I would really consider buying a CD of. I probably would download a few of Ruben's songs but I'd line up to buy Kim's. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 10:16 am     Commercials Shamercials.. I dial all the way thru programs.. last night it was two episodes of Changing Rooms and all of Judging Amy |
Marefromny | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 10:19 am     Got about 6 or 7 votes for KL before husband got sick of the sound of the redial!! GO KIMBERLEY! |
Essence | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 10:20 am     I put in some votes for Kimberley last night. I couldn't get through for Ruben, so I called in for her on my regular phone while I dialed for Ruben on my cell. |
Imbewitched | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 10:29 am     Ms. Kimberly got my votes last night. She sang like an angel. Gave me goosebumps. You go girl!! |
Maris | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 10:40 am     How sick am I???? I dialed right up to the end and I think I got about twenty votes in. I would like to see her in the final two only because she had such a tough time in the beginning. At the auditions Simon told her she was fat, didnt have a chance, looks are everything. She ended up in the bottomn three how many weeks in a row? was it three? It would just be perfect if someone like her, a come from behind, should be up there on pure talent. I would like to see her and Ruben, neither one are considered "classic marketing symbols" in terms of looks, go all the way. It would be perfect. It isnt all about a pretty face. It is about talent. |
Grooch | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 11:16 am     I was only able to get 1 vote in. The lines were busy the rest of the time. I'm hoping that is a good sign that she gets to stay. |
Pcakes2 | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 12:33 pm     I dialed for a straight hour (during 24) for Kim. I got thru about 20 times with no problem, then I got thru about every other call. I really would love to see her stay. |
Marameko | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 12:45 pm     Kim or Reuben may not meet the American Idol view as to appearance for WASP's but for the REST of us of color, perhaps they do. I very much resent comments about not looking like an "IDOL". Who made up the rules for what an IDOL looks like............? |
Maris | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 01:28 pm     Marameko, I find it interesting that you took issue with color when, speaking for myself, I was consistently referring to size because of Simon's comments. It has nothing to do with race. I dont even know what race Kim is. Is she african american? Hispanic? I dont think race has ever come up once when talking about Ruben or Kim. |
Llkoolaid | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 06:43 pm     I have read a few comments like "white bread pop idol" during the course of this show but nothing about Rueben or Kim's race. All I will say is it gets old. |
Llkoolaid | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 06:47 pm     I hope Kim gets signed , I don't think she should have been voted off tonight but then again she sure did come a long way. I think she was in the bottom 2 almost every night except for 2 or maybe 3 but she kept improving and made it to final 3. The vote was so close and she could have won. I think she is a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. Good luck Kim. |
Crazydog | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 07:00 pm     Oh, I am SO bummed. When the finals started I was solidly backing Ruben but I was so taken with this talented young woman and soon was in her camp. Too bad she won't be in the finals. Good luck Kim!! |
Max | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 09:36 pm     Good luck to Kimberly! I hate to see her go, but at the same time, I feel certain that someone will sign her and she'll have a chance at a good career. Part of me is glad she won't be pinned in the "Pop Idol" category. It frees her to do more soulful, sultry numbers, for which I think her voice is extremely well tuned. She's cute as a darned button and I truly wish her all the best! The votes, as they said tonight, were only separated by 4%. Truly this was a tough choice for everyone to make. |
Egbok | Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 09:56 pm     Kim will be successful in whatever she choses to do. She's a beauty with a gorgeous voice and brains to boot! I expect we haven't heard the last from Kim Locke - she's got it. |
Dreamweaver | Thursday, May 15, 2003 - 05:42 am     Best of luck Kim Locke. You are a "diva" in your own right! Beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. |
Conejo | Thursday, May 15, 2003 - 06:33 am     Has Kim been on any of the morning TV shows yet? |
Ladytex | Thursday, May 15, 2003 - 06:43 am     Kimberly Locke is and will be a STAR!! |
