Dahli | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 02:46 pm     Webkitty, your analysis of everyone was 'spot on' and I couldn't agree more, you saved me a ton of typing! LOL!! |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 02:55 pm     It was questionable for Josh to even audition if he thought he would not be able to finnish. You drop out for whatever reason, that is it, you are done. He will get offers from the Nashville crowd anyway, especially IF he has to go. He cannot possibly win this now or in the future, anyway. Being inserted in the top 10 is obsurd. The mere thought makes me jumpy. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 02:56 pm     It's funny that so many of us did not think Clay was on his game last night. I just read two recaps at Reality News Online and Clay got a lot of praise in both for his performance last night. One writer ranked Ruben first and then Clay and the other one actually ranked Clay first and then Ruben. A lot of people apparently think Clay sang the song better than the original singer Bryan White according to both writers. Maybe we are perceiving a lackluster performance because it didn't really fit the genre and we were hoping for something different? BTW, I'm not touching the Marine debate, LOL! Ricky was at the bottom of the AOL poll, right? I don't think he has much of a fan base, but I hope he stays. I should have thrown some votes his way. I like him. I like Trenyce a lot too, but last night was not her style. |
Ditzymommy | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 03:10 pm     Finola Hughes being in the audience is interesting. She was one of the leads in the sequel to "Saturday Night Fever" called "Staying Alive". So, she is a "disco" queen. Do you think she was supposed to possibly be a judge and they tossed her for Olivia Newton John? :o |
Mydogbuffy | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 03:26 pm     What happened to actually singing country rock??? Joshua was the only one to sing country rock. CLay did sing at least a country song and he sang it extremely well. I thought both Kimberly's did well also. I wish they went back to choosing the songs the contestants have to sing so we can see their range of singing. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 03:30 pm     All of them should have paired off and sang "I'm a little bit country, I'm a little bit rock and roll" by the Osmonds. Frightening, eh? |
Ericka1012 | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 03:41 pm     Ok, How could they have scheduled AI during Survivor...GRRRRRRRRRRR silly FOX!!! |
Realbiz | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 03:48 pm     only this week, ericka, i hope... |
Ladytex | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 03:51 pm     I kept telling myself that I was not going to get into the Marine debate, but I'm not going to hold my tongue anymore. Comparing being called to risk your life for your country and getting the flu is like comparing apples to oranges, and comparing being a servicemember right now to a having a "job" ... well, I'll leave that one alone. I have no problem with him coming back into the top 10 if he is deployed. I don't see any petty thing like this too much for our troops. Oh, it's not fair ... We have no idea how they would fit him back into the show, so speculating on how unfair it would be to the others is a bit premature. Saying that he should not have tried out doesn't work because the auditions began before this conflict started. Joshua is not my favorite, but I give him nothing but props and my gratitude for being willing to serve. If coming back to his position because of his service is all he asks, then I say we still get a bargain. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 03:54 pm     Beach, you cracked me up with the vision of you trying to sing with a country twang in the mirror! Dahli, thanks for your comments. I am trying to be respectful of others favorites this year, even if I don't see it the same way. I was really hard on Justin last year, and I feel bad about it. I could have been more respectful of those that did like him. (trying to choose my words more carefully this year) |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 03:57 pm     Webkitty, you are just a big sweetheart! Okay, I'm getting into the Marine debate. I agree with Ladytex. Not to mention the offer to keep a spot for him has already been made, folks. On national television, no less. Taking it back now would be nothing but shameful on Simon's part, whether you agree with it being made in the first place or not. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 03:59 pm     P.S. I'll be nicer about Corey. I like him more now than I did. He is growing on me. I admire all of them, when it comes right down to it. To go after your dream like this is amazing. They say at the end of our lives we regret the things we never did far more than the things we did. Well, these kids all tried and will never have to wonder "what if." |
Webkitty | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:00 pm     The AI results show is on tonight from 8:30 to 9:30. Survivor is on from 8:00 to 9:00, and the new Batchelor is on from 9:00 to 10:00. What to do....I have two vcr's, I think I can manage this.. |
Crazydog | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:00 pm     But Ladytex, the end result is the same. The person cannot continue in the competition. What if one of the contestants' mothers got really really sick and they had to fly home to be with her? Shouldn't they get "props" for being willing to give up everything to tend to their sick mother? It's just as urgent and just as valid a reason for leaving the competition. I think that's just as admirable. The only thing is that Joshua is a Marine and I think the show is bending over backwards to accomodate him. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:03 pm     Thanks Herm, you know I think your a sweetheart too ~mutual admiration party!~  |

Demeter | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:15 pm     Not wanting to get "too" political here, but I'm in the crowd that believes Josh should be allowed to come back to the final 10. I think serving for your country, putting your life on the line and providing a service that potentially protects those of us here that are American and maybe even for others in the world, is in a different category than kind gestures for family and friends, illness etc. The name of the show is "American Idol" and if the producer of a show (reality show or not) wants to extend that gratuity to a service man who has already earned his way on the show, then why not? (By the way, I'm not a huge Josh fan, but I do support the notion of supporting the troops) |
Prisonerno6 | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:26 pm     (Oh, I know I shouldn't do this, but...) It comes down to a matter of choice to me. If Josh gets called up, he has no choice but to go -- either that or face jail time. If Julia gets the flu, she still chooses not to sing (and it is a choice, since I recently had a severe case of influenza, yet still made it to campus for a very important meeting through the snow, with a 102 temp)(and it was uphill both ways, too...). Same thing with taking care of a sick parent, I gave up a lot to be with my father when he was dying last year, but I also know it was my choice (and a choice most of my brothers chose not to make). Men and women who have joined one of the armed services, the people who chose to protect our freedom, lose the freedom to make many of their own choices. I've always thought that was one of the great ironies of our country. Josh may have to risk his life and be separated from his family for months. Let's not punish him any more for choosing to defend our freedom. |
Prisonerno6 | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:28 pm     On a completely unrelateed topic... Why another one hour elimination show? I understand why they couldn't make the performance show longer (to get 24 back on the air in time to end for sweeps), but why drag out the elimination show again? It's going to be another 50 minutes of ho-hum for 10 minutes of nail-biting. |
Yuhuru | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:43 pm     Oh, I think they should cancel the whole da%$ show!!! Then we don't have to worry about anybody coming back. It may never come down to it, but it really doesn't matter if they bring him back next season or the next season. He's not the American Idol anyway (imho) Bsides, If I'm his wife I'd recommend he decline. I mean he's spending time away from her and his dd now. If he's deployed, he's going to spend even more time away (while she's worried to death every second). He's gotten enough exposure this time. You guys can probably tell that I don't really have a valid opinion. I'm just having a crappy day and I want to have a fight with somebody, anybody, c'mon !!! Clay, Corey, Ruben and Simon all suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I need some of the foam bats like they used on Three's Company. Throw in Janet. I never liked her anyway. I'm off to slit my wrists, until Survivor somes on. |
Kellsma | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:45 pm     I think they are doing a one hour show to cut into Survivor and The Bachelor. Notice it is at 8:30-9:30. The second half of Survivor and the first half of The Bachelor and they did a one hour show last week too when Survivor was also on Wednesday but two weeks ago when there was no Survivor or Bachelor on Wednesday, it was just 30 mniutes. Hmmmmm |
Rabbit | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:49 pm     Okay Yuhuru, Wanna wrestle? (Note, I'm big and strong but soft and fluffy too.) |
Prisonerno6 | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:53 pm     Ah, I see. Well, whatever the reason, it sucks like a Hoover. |
Wink | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:55 pm     Hold on Yuhuru. Let me get Hermione for you. She'll make you a special place you can crank. |
Kellsma | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:56 pm     Yes Prisonero6, I totall agree. It does suck and it is stupid. Watch, next week will be back to 30 minutes. |
