“hee hee ;)

Glad I could dredge up some happy childhood memories for ya.

And I have to say that racing works surprisingly well on radio, I wouldn't have expected it to, and it's certainly not on the same level as watching on TV, but I've had to listen to a couple of races and I wasn't too disappointed at not being able to watch.

“nascar sucks no matter how it is on”

“Ewker, it doesn't suck for those of us who have the intellectual capacity to understand what's happening in a race.”

Bison, yeah you need that intellectual capacity so see their going round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round....hang on I am getting dizzy”

“Case in point...”

“no case in point, it is boring although it is more exciting than golf but sleeping is more exciting than golf”

“OK Boys....enough already.....this is an American Idol thread....and i'm sorry I even brought up NASCAR.....although I do tend to sleep well if ya put it on the box.....anywho...let's take this outta here...pronto....git..i've heard all I can take...crackin' me up....

Now let's see....where was I?....OH right....does a spork weigh more or less than my sleeping bag?.....these are heavy thoughts my friends....later”

“NACAR is boring? WTF???

That must be why the waiting list at Bristol is 7 #&%!$ing years long.”

“You won't find me waiting.”

“Crank it up!!!!”

“werd.”

“Surprise!!!

I have no critique on the show....I know.....don't get depressed over it...ya'll miss my intellectual insight....sorry gang....not tonight....I missed the entire thing....I was entertaining guests this evening and TV wasn't on the agenda.....

Sooooo.....what happened? Does anybody care?”

“wow, it was an awesome show... they each got to sing 2 songs each.

vonzell was absolutely amazing on both songs... everyone loved them but simon. i don't know why but he has it out for her. stated her singing was a mess when it was one of the best tonight. very strange.

carrie was pretty good. i didn't like her second song.... some country song.... don't know too much about country.

bo was awesome. sung stand by me then that los lonely boys song. he always picks perfect songs for his voice.

anthony needs to go.... he was awful.

scott also needs to go. he was awesome on his first song but his second song was awful... i think it was some bryan mcknight song?

i think anthony or scott should go, but i have a feeling that vonzell is going to go due to simon's comments.

bottom 3:
scott
anthony
vonzell”

“anthony: god he was bad! Both songs: bad notes
Scott: better then all the other times. sort of surprised me a little.
Vonzell: I am not sure what randy and paula ment by "great" but I really didn't think she was all that last night
BO: Awesome!! all I hve to say! Awesome! I thought the first song was sung better by him though. Still, beautiful
Carrie: Okay, I am impressed, not my style of music AT ALL, but she did great last night on the first song. I did hear the false notes on the second song though (and I don't even like country)

bottom 3:
anthony
scott
vonzell”

“I think at this point it's really interesting.

You have 5 people all fitting into thier own genre of music. I believe the people voting are sticking by the singers who sing thier kind of music.

You got Bo, who sings rock
Carrie, who sings country and gets all country fan votes
Scott, who is the only R&B guy and has a market for his sound
You got Anthony, who sings to every lonely single woman over 30 stroking her cat on the couch between listening to outdated Celine Dion and Michael Bolton CD's
and then there's Vonzell, who I don't know where she fits in. She just does everything pretty well, but I worry about her being kind of forgotten because she's not pigeonholed into any one kind of music. I think that's what happend to Anwar.

Tonight, I predict Anthony will go. I would say Scott, but he's challenging Simon and I think the crowd digs how he keeps hanging in there despite what Simon says about him. I think that gets him a few votes.”

“Did he give a speech? I always pictured him giving some dorky preachy speech at the end.”

“Been weeks since I saw that show.

“who was in the bottom 3 tonight??? I missed it! how was Primetime? Did anyone see it?”

“They just had two, Scott and Anthony.”

“Scott got sent home, oh yea ( while I am sitting here dancing))))))”

“i really dug scott in the beginning and i do think he'd be a great r and b singer but his attitude was really starting to get to me. glad he's gone!”

“I don't follow this thread...so maybe it've been mentioned before. Anyways, I saw on the news that Paula Abdul was fooling around with one of the contestants (So says the contestant....anyway, he got eliminated before his news item came out). Says that Paula was choosing songs for him, teaching him how to sing, chose his clothing and even suggested how he should makeup his hair.”

“Hey Scorchy......did you see Constantine on the Ellen Show yesterday?


stanlee.....if ya ask me....I really don't give a rats arse....I began watching that spot and then quickly realized...."who the heck cares" and tuned it out. Another weasel stirring the pot....a network attacking another network....basically ya got a bunch of zeroes trying to be 1's.....


cottonsocks....you and me both....I did a little 2 step shuffle around the room...man....what a sight! I was soooo glad to see chubby leave.....sheesh....next up....Anthony....sorry bro....”

“yea even though anthony's local, i still want him outta there, lol. we already had a local loser.. justin guarini. no room for 2.

glad scott's gone.

yes, i saw the paula thing. who cares is right, but it's gonna cause a lot of controversy. i have a feeling it'll be the last season of AI... or at least the last season with paula as a judge.”

“Scorchy....say it isn't so.....AI will return....luckily the Summer will disperse all the memories of Paula and whatnot....”

“it's just a feeling.... i can't predict the future... and i'm hoping it's NOT true!”

“I've never seen the show but I caught a few minutes of the about Paula (while I was waiting for "Lost" to rewind) and all I could think is "what a jerk".
If she did do what he said, try to help him, This is how he repays her? trying to ruin her career for some publicity.

I hope what ever he must be trying to sell fails miserably.”

“i'm sure it WILL fail... did you hear his vocals? lol.”

“He sings in a higher falsetto than Mariah Carey in a bear trap”

“More controversy on AI??? I'd think they couldn't get better marketing. ;-) Keeps people talking about AI that don't even watch it... and now just might. ;-P”

““Scott got sent home, oh yea ( while I am sitting here dancing))))))”

My wife is making a habit out of getting up in the middle of the night to surf the web.

Should I be worried?”

“Bo has to sing country on his first song, but he is belting out a Travis Tritt tune pretty damn well.”

“why is Vonzie so bent out of shape?”

“Oh goodie....what a night.....

Carrie....aaahh....this ain't good....in fact that sucked....what was that? Both songs were trash....


Bo....he tore it up tonight....both songs were done well.....cool threads on the second tune despite what Simon said.....I like that belt buckle!

Vonzie.....she was smokin'.....did very well....but somehow she might fall because Anthony decided to show up and do something finally.....

Anthony....might squeak by on votes this week although I did like both tunes especially the first one....nice!

Oh....btw...did I ever tell ya Carrie is hot? Well....she is smokin' hot!!!”

“they were all very good!

i missed the part where vonzell cried? what happened??”

“I don't know why Vonzell cried. Well, I have a theory. I think Vonzell is a diva. Heard she won't talk to anyone the day before she sings. She writes notes.

DIVA!!! So my theory is she was bawling cuz she knew she messed up on her tune. Hope she doesn't get sympathy votes. Then again, crying might backfire.

I predict either Vonzell or Carrie will be gone. LOL, wouldn't everyone freak to see Carrie go. moooooooohahahaha, sorry Stratty! hehehee”

“i think anthony is gone... but vonzell may be too... not sure this time.”

“Carrie will be the next American Idol.”

“uh oh, an American male speaks. lol... you are perhaps underestimating the American females that rock with Bo. ;-)

Will be interesting........”

“okay...I recorded it and just now watched it:

Carrie: first song: I don't like country and I hated that song, but she sung it fine. Second song: Whhhhaaaa, don't ever ruin my favorite Simply Red song like that again

Vonzel: I just didn't like here today, both songs wasn't great, with the first one being worse.

Anthony: huh? who is that again? Honestly I already forgot how good or bad he was.

Bo: He made me like country. I loved his last song. He was AWESOME! The moment he got a CD out...I'll be there to buy it. (well, if it's not country)

I really don't know who's gonna go. I thought each one of them wasn't great, everyone BUT Bo.”

“My prediction....bottom 2.....

Vonzell
Anthony

With Vonzell leaving.....”

“The 2 years I watched Ido I correctly predicted the winners at the beginning of the season (Fantasia and Ruben).

This year I predicted Bo - but haven't been watching since the beginning since I think they pretty much all suck this year. (no offense to any fans)”

“This is bizarre, but I recently found out that two of my brothers used to work with Bo at a bar here in Huntsville.”

“Did they run rails with him too?

j/k”

“My VCR jammed last night. >8-(
ONly got to see Carrie's 1st song, Bo's and part of Vonzell's...
How annoying...

Carrie finally looked a little alive....
Bo did a good job with the Travis Tritt Song... I wish we could have seen the other songs!”

“I like Bo. When I heard it was going to be country tunes, I turned to the little lady and said.."Travis Tritt".

It was done well, but imagine this...

I was hoping he'd do "Anymore" instead of the song he did. Bounce that around in yer noggin' a bit.

Anthony. Besides the fact that I believe he wants to become famous so he can afford to finish the sex change, Did you ever notice the hand gestures and the motions when he sings? Just like the sappy ballads with the high notes, sustained notes with a hint of vibrato....seen one, you've seen 'em all. He's got one thing and one thing only. I don't think it will hold him on the show long.”

“Even without Watching, I'm sure Anthony will be on the bottom tonight... He is the worst of the final 4...”

“Dont cha just wanna go up on stage with a putty knife and spackle that hole in his neck? Is that bothering anyone else or is it just me?”

“Um, one of them probably did, if that means what I think it does....lol...”
