This is strange. I don't know if it's been posted about yet but I just bought a copy of that PEOPLE magazine that they showed last night. On the top it had an arrow that says "The Finalists" ant it has pictures of Ruben, Clay, Treynce and Josh. No Kim L or even Carmen for that matter. I don't know when it first came out but I find it interesting that Kim L is not shown. Any thoughts?

I have that magazine, too, and I don't think there is any deeper meaning. Just who they happened to pick at that time. They probably did try to pick who they thought was sticking around and the cover was probably put together before Kim L's last two performances. Don't worry!

Hi Group, this is my first post ever, even though I have been reading since BB2! What I have to say is about the calling. Did anyone ever try to get on Millionaire when it came on at night? There, after the intial run, you only had 2 chances per day to qualify and they knew how many times you called. Just know the technology is there if Fox chooses to use it!

I am going to risk getting my foot stuck in my mouth again but here goes.

There is no way in h e double hockey sticks that Kim is going before Barbie and GI Joe.

I don't know if I totally trust this but on Entertainment tonight, Paula just said that "for the first time, Josh was in the bottom TWO" .. I know we always speculate if the last two standing there are actually the bottom two, but that is what Paula implied..

Interesting! That would mean that Trenyce's fans either outnumber or are working harder to keep her in than Josh's are. I wonder what will happen next week. Let me consult my 8-Ball.

Sorry,just had to mention this..
How do we know that Ruben's church members are all really voting for him? I mean,a huge bunch of people in one place with their own phones,right?
So who's to say that some of them aren't also voting for Clay,or Kim,or the others?
You know,throwing a couple votes here and there?
Who would know? ;)
Oh and Welcome,Mike'sWife!
Yeah,just my crazy thought for the day!

Good point Magikearth! I don't think
it's a gathering just for Rueben. The
church has provided phones for the members
to vote, but they have the option to vote
their choice.

I also looked at People magazine and wondered
where is Kimberley Locke? She is not one of
the four on the cover, although, she is included
inside the magazine. Interesting?

LOL Thanks for not thinking I'm crazy,Heavenly!
I love your screenname and I think your website is just beautiful.

I think Hermione's 1:58 post makes a good point about Kim's omission..The magazine article was probably written before she was considered a serious contender.
Or maybe there's a twist coming up- we'll have two American Idols-one is a people's choice,the other is a judge's choice,and Kim wins that one!!
The omission is just a ploy to keep us guessing and speculating,getting us ready for the big suprise!
Or maybe I need to lay off the caffeine!

Maybe, but I'd be feeling way better if Kim was ON the cover and Trenyce was not.

It might have something to do with Kim not being on the single. Not that I know what that means, wouldn't be anything new to me.

i thought someone mentioned that kim had the flu at one time and maybe thats why she is absent from the cover.

She had strep and was being quarantined when they did the recording for the single, so maybe the cover was around the same time .... ???

Remember back in BB1, and George's wife caught all kinds of heck for organizing votes for her George. Sounds like the same thing happening at Reuben's church.
Maybe that is what Kim C meant when I saw her interviewed on E!. She said he had a big fan base (very politiclly correct)

Maybe she meant they ate a lot and were Reuben-esque [sorry...I just couldn't resist].

Update on Luther: His mom was on the radio this morning. Says he is breathing on his own, not on life support. Communicating with his eyes and hands. There will be another prayer moment this Wednesday at noon.

more on Luther and his connection with American Idol:

A week after suffering a stroke, singer Luther Vandross is showing signs of recovery and is in critical but stable condition. Doctors believe that the Grammy-winning artist has not suffered damage to the portion of the brain that controls speech, according to spokesperson Lois Najarian.

"The family and friends of Luther Vandross appreciate the national prayer vigil that was held [Wednesday] across the country," Najarian said in a statement released Wednesday (see "Luther Vandross Suffers Stroke"). "The prayers must be working! Luther Vandross has shown the first positive signs that his recovery is underway."

Vandross suffered the stroke on April 16, just a few days before his 52nd birthday, and a spokesperson for the Weill Cornell Medical Center of New York-Presbyterian Hospital said he is still in the intensive care unit.

Najarian said that Vandross would be conscious if he were not so heavily sedated in order to keep him comfortable. He is expected to regain some consciousness over the next few days, she said.

The singer was scheduled to be the guest judge on "American Idol" on May 6.

Though that gig has been canceled, Najarian said J Records still expects to release the singer’s new album, Dance With My Father, on June 10. The album features contributions from Beyoncé Knowles, Busta Rhymes, Stevie Wonder, Foxy Brown and Queen Latifah.

The title track from the album will be performed by former "American Idol" contestant Tamyra Gray on a April 28 episode of "Boston Public" (see "Method Man Has His Eyes Set On Tamrya Gray"). Najarian said that the show’s creator, David E. Kelley, "fell in love with the song and built an entire episode around it."

The results show this week is an hour long. From TV Guide...

American Idol
60 min.
The bottom three vote-getters endure an hour of interviews and recaps before the results of last night's performances are revealed. After that, it's four to go. Ryan Seacrest hosts. (VCR Plus+ 10030)

I also read on another message board that Justin Guarini will be singing on the results show. I don't know if that part is true or not.
