would love to see Blake go next. I'm tired of hearing these guys who don't sing better than you can find at karaoke keep singing week after week. It's about time Phil & Chris went home!

Jordin, Melinda, and Lakesha, and
it's all about song choice from here on in.
I agree with you about Melinda.
I mean, she can sing well, but the aw shucks act has got to go. You know who else bugs me? Phil Stacey...He is just creepy to look at too. My faves are Lakisha, Blake, Chris Richardson, and sometimes Jordan (not last night, she shouted the song). Anyone but Sanjaya. Come on, last night EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE, was better than him. He HAS to go.
I totally agree. Melinda is my favorite!
nm
I agree, I'm not really even watching...but what did Simon say to Melinda?
Just curious about that.
OMG I so agree!! I had hoped for Zack/Dick final
I HATE THE FACT THE DONATOS WON - I want to vote at cbs site for Eric to push Daniele to win because then she and Dick will be at each other's throats once again - because he'd probably want half the $$ if it all goes to her. *LOL* - money matters and family often cause problems *laughs*
Jordin is now my favorite . . .
I really liked her from the beginning. It's not just her voice I think she has the wow factor. All the other girls are great this year. Even Haley - even though she forgot the words she was adorable and I think she may get a lot of sympathy votes.
Jordin Sparks
Jordin does great in the rounds. I think she is sweet and I hope she goes far. I really liked Haley last night too -- wish she wouldn't have forgoten the words, but I think she did okay. She also has a pretty voice. Wish they would get rid of Sanjaya (spelling?) I just do not like him at all.
I'm glad Jordin won and I'm with you that...sm
Jordin & Rubin sounded great together - I'd love to see them record a duet.
Have you noticed that many weeks now, including last night, that the show went over the allotted time? I hope that Fox fixes that for next year - cut out the chitterchatter and put it in at the end if time allows.
Melinda sm
Melinda is the best! The best don't usually win if they are as nice as Melinda, she's the epitomy of virtue! She alsos is the epitomy of humility!
Melinda sm
Melinda hands down is best, however, people judge by youth, looks, etc., I heard on this board that she has "no neck." How very sad, she's the best, humble, talented and more. Life is not fair, I am upset. It's the same in every profession, sometimes the "best" pushed aside. Pray she does well, she deserves it!
Lakisha and Melinda are definitely the best.
I would have a hard time choosing between them if they made it in the final 2. The guys haven't really impressed me much, but Chris Sligh is kind of fun to watch.
I like Melinda and Lakisha too but...
Does anyone else have a problem with Melinda's lack of a neck? I just can't stop looking for it.
Melinda was great but . . .
Did you ever hear Shirley Bassey do that song? It's one of my favorites, so I wasn't that impressed. Believe it or not, she did not hit the last note.
NO! And, like he is better than Melinda? lol What a joke.
Poor Melinda, I seriously think she was in shock, like the rest of us.
So - here is the final story (sm)
The insurance company is givig them $1250 towards carpeting. They were told their premium will not increase now. However, if they were to have another "accident" in the next 3 years, their premium will increase 10%. So, that's the deal.
After a divorce is final...
After a divorce is final...what are your thoughts on the mother and her child requesting that their names be changed back to her maiden name?
"Traditionally, courts ruled that a father had an automatic right to have his child keep his last name if he continued to actively perform his parental role. Although there is still some bias in this direction, it is no longer strictly true. Now a child's name may be changed by court petition when it is clearly in the best interest of the child to do so. When deciding whether to grant a name change, courts consider many factors, such as the length of time the father's name has been used, the strength of the mother-child relationship and the need of the child to identify with a new family unit (if the change involves remarriage). The courts must balance these factors against the strength and importance of the father-child relationship. What this all boils down to is that it's up to a judge to decide which name is in the child's best interest."
What would really be in the childs best interest if he doesn't grow to know his father anyway? keep the last name? or change it?
It started out with the final four SM
Katee, Courtney, Joshua and Twitch. Then they did the first elimination, which was Courtney and the second was Katee.
Then down to the final TWO: Joshua and Twitch.
JOSHUA IS THE FINAL WINNER!!!! $250,000 PRIZE!
I dearly loved Twitch too! When Joshua won Twitch hugged him and he held up Joshua's arms!!!
Melinda and Lakisha rocked!
I love Lakisha's song choice, though. One of my favorites. Jordan is excellent but a little young...she will only get better. I was expecting more of out Stephanie, and Blake and Chris Richardson were the best men...but that ain't saying much..LOL
Melinda, my are absolutely my IDOL
Her songs are beyond belief. Here is wishing her the very best. What a great show tonight!!
she cried at end for Melinda Doolittle
 just an overly emotional prepubescent 10 y/o girl is all that little girl was being - herself actually
I always think of Barbara S when Melinda performs. (sm)
Although I don't enjoy Barbara S because her ego is so unattractive, but still I can see her talent. It is nice to hear a singer that you are confident is going to hit every note every time and never let you down. That's what I think they both have, and Melinda may be just trying to avoid anybody seeing her with a big ego so that she doesn't lose fans for it. In other words, I do think the humility thing is an act, but she's trying to avoid the other extreme.
I like Melinda, Blake, and Jordan
the others are fine too. At this point all their styles are different. Some copy, some original, some so talented that they will do well whether they win or not. Melinda mellows me, Blake makes me want to dance, Jordan makes me smile.
But now they may make less on the final movie (sm)
 I personally may not go see it just in protest of the way she went about all of this. It was strongly marketed to children and I see no reason that Dumbledore, a fictional character who was given no sexual orientation throughout the books, now needs to be deemed as gay. Who cares one way or the other? He's not even real! I suppose it is because she wants her books and movies to become a cultish type thing that will continue to produce money for her for years to come as people pore over her books trying to find clues that evidence Dumbledore's sexual orientation. It strongly discredits her in my opinion and I am sure in the minds of many other parents of her child fans.
Final place, unless we win the lottery! (nm)

Divorce is final insurance is gone
Once you are divorced, you are off of his insurance unless you COBRA over but yo have to do that immediately. He cannot add her without being married and if he does this under the table, it is insurance fraud and both of them can get into trouble. If he is behind on his support, don't trust him on anything else. All she has to do is to call his HR department or if she knows what insurance they had while married, call them. Beware of him he does not sound to be above board and legitimate.
Final installment - You need to read what I said again -
I said NOTHING about getting back together or a fairy tale ending. This is about HER being able to move on 4 years after someone beat her. It is about being able to say what needs to be said and letting the chips fall where they may. I get it. Seen this in action in my own family. I also know that often without help these ladies often choose the very same type of men over and over. Everyone deserves better in life. I hope she finds peace.
Divorce final today
Just feeling a little down, as my marriage is officially over as of this morning. I'm okay; just a little sad. Any of you "been there, done that?"
Adam and Gookey in the final
,,,,,,,and Adam to win!
she cried equally at end for Melinda Doolittle
I remember crying over the Beatles when I was 14.....LOL
Thought Idol final excellent
I had never been a Tony Bennett fan- think i have changed my mind. What a performer! Loved the Reuben and Jordin duet, wonderful! What about Gladys and her backup group? Unbelievable! Kelly looked far too punk, ugh, did not like her getup! I think the public finally got it right in Jordin. She will do great. Overall show gets the thumbs up from me.
great final show as was DWTS also....
Final season of Battlestar Galactica!
Heck of a ride that series has been! 
Yes it was gone during sentencing and REALITY final sank in
He has gotten away with too much, road rage incident, a domestic situation when his daughter called the cops on him and others. He is a loose cannon and finally got shot down.
Our little burg here in lower NY state does this, too, and the final concert is usually

Why not give him some rings to choose from and let him make the final decision?
Some guys want to say they picked it out. Makes them proud to say they did so. Ultimately, it is not really about the ring, the wedding, or any of that. It is about how you two will live your lives together. Congratulations!
Kim is great... I wish she could come and decorate my home.. Loved what she did on the final challan
@
What an awesome post! I agree, agree, agree completely with you.
 You are right on the money in my book! 
I agree, try to live in another country, then you will also agree...nm
nm
absolutement! Agree! Agree! Agree!
Why is it so hard to understand this? HMOs are just middlemen who get everything balled up and costly!
I agree with you - not judging either but agree (nm)
:)
and I agree with you *nn* -
I agree......
I agree with everyone's reply here. Also--one more thing...DO NOT TOUCH THE RADIO/CD PLAYER WHILE DRIVING!! It was 17 years ago that one of my best friends was killed this way-very responsible girl, just did not think for that one moment.
I was a responsible teen, but my parents set strict rules on my driving. At the time, I did not understand but now that I have a 10-year-old son who keeps reminding me each year that he will be driving in __ years, I understand completely. If it were an option for us, I would keep my kids babies forever.
Another thing you can do, just to maybe ease your mind about driving is take her to the local police department and have them to show actual footage of accidents. I know that sounds pretty harsh, but it has saved a lot of kids lives in my surrounding area.
Hope this helps!!
wow - I sure do agree with you!!....sm
I would rather them be locked in a car driving than strolling or walking alone - In Florida - we have had MANY YOUNG KIDS killed (murder) by being alone walking to and from school. My children are VERY responsible and pay for everything, except that car insurance (which is wayyyyyyyyy too much) which I offered to pay until age 28. By the age of 28, they'll be earning more $$. My OLD brother (and he's very old *LOL*) did this for his son until age 28 (think he's about 38 now) because of the exhorbitant insurance rates. I decided to follow suit. If we have it, why shouldn't we help them. I'd rather help my children while I'M ALIVE AND KICKING rather than what they get when I die, IF there is anything to get *LOL*
Y'all have a GREAT day!
Remember, we can all agree to disagree without being nasty and rude.
and I so agree with you!!!.....sm
One of my children saved all the Xmas/holiday/birthday $$ ever received from toddler-hood so that at 17 had $6000+ and put it down on a BRAND NEW SMALL CAR, albeit I had to co-sign the balance. Child did pay the rest off. I too am very proud of the children who are young still, one has worked for 10 years already (started off part-time at about 14 after school by own choice).
Yep, I want kids to hang out in multiple numbers today - never walking alone - too many CREEPS out there in the USA today and they are EVERYWHERE....really creepy to me.........
Let's sing out for the responsible good kids who are out there trying to live life in this messed-up world!!!!
HOORAY FOR THE CHILDREN!!!! They are our future and if we don't back them, well then we are up the creek without a paddle, right? 
I agree...
Don't be too quick to judge! Last I knew car seats can be moved from one car to another! It's so sad that a few rotten apples out there ruin it for the people who really need the help! Hope you are never in a situation where you may need a little help.
I agree
Hey, Chillie, I love what you said. It's time somebody did. All this political correctness crap is getting to the point where it really offends me. And I'm SOMEBODY, TOO!!! Thanks.
It all goes to what you agree to when you take the job
If you take the job knowing that it involves working the holiday or the night of or the night before then it is your obligation to do so. That is the way of this trade. Then the days following the holiday we are "dead" and everyone is yelling for work. Kind of like the hospitals, the police, the fire department, the stores half the time -- we all know what is expected when we accept the job. If you knew that it was expected of you when you said yes -- then I think it is your obligation to work. If you have your own accounts or are an IC then you have the right to say no but don't complain when nothing comes your way the day or two after the holoidays. I chose to have my own accounts and some are open the day after Thanksgiving and so what I pick up on late Weds has to be back by early Friday and so somwhere in that timeframe I have to get it done. I might have a few more hours to do it but also have a family and life so will squeeze it in. Then Friday I will have what was dictated on Weds and have to work on over the weekend. So you see you are not alone but this has been the way since I have been doing this, close to 20+ years. Before that when I worked in office/clinics we were never closed for the Friday after Thanksgiving, saw patients until 6 on Weds, back at 8 on Friday. Anway got things to do. Patti
I agree
I was in management also and I was lucky in that there were only a certain few MTs that were very stubborn about not working holidays or flat out refused. Most were willing to compromise, maybe do one major holiday and have off the other, or even put in a few hours of their choice. It is those who refuse to work all holidays that can mess things up for everyone. For if everyone refused, what then? I guess it would then have to become mandatory???? Exactly!
I agree with you...
Even if the story you were told is true, there's still something not right about the situation. Best to make sure your daughter's not in any danger, I'd do the same thing! Good luck...I feel for the other family though...how hard would that be?
I agree...
My husband is far from dispensable! He's my best friend too. He's a wonderful father, husband, son, brother, everything! We've been married for almost 20 years and I love and need him more today than I did in the beginning. Men are getting an unfair wrap here...although I completely sympathize with the OP. That's her situation, though, not every marriage comes down to that.
Like I said before (and my post was deleted for some reason) I am looking forward to growing old with my husband...raising grandchildren...hopefully finally getting to travel. I do believe the best has yet to come for us!
I 100% agree.
