Yes, they both can sing, what is different about that? At least Blake is different. I like his sound and how he is not just some other singer. I personally cannot wait for "So You Think You Can Dance." I really like that show much better.

You are probably right, and all the silly girls are voting for Blake...
who by the way is no prize, lol. Raise the bar girls! He's a short little creep. Looks like a young Sean Penn, sort of, with that homely face. lol Can you tell I don't like him at all? lol
I find Danny boring.
Can't believe he hasn't been booted yet. I'm a hardcore Adam fan and would like to see him win, although win or lose he will be a huge star. Anyway,thank God for a world where we don't all have the same tastes. You can have your Gokey, and I'll take my Lambert, LOL!
I think mainly girls would find it more interesting

I think the girls are much better than the guys this year...sm
it'll be interesting to see how many guys actually "survive" once they get it down to 12 contestants.
You did the right thing. A year and a half ago 5 girls, sm
from a town that I used to live in, (1 had been in preschool with my daughter), just graduated from high school, were on their way to the family cottage of one of the girls, and they were all killed in a crash. There had been a text message sent from the driver's phone just before the crash. Everyone left behind was devastated.
Hopefully your actions will save her life.

Blake
I think he is the most talented one on the show. There is no one left that can do what he does. To each his own!
Blake.
There is nothing wrong with my hearing. If I were disappointed in the show, I would be sure and not watch it any more!
I like Blake...
But not NEARLY as much as I like Melinda. They are just worlds apart. I was shocked she was booted last night. She had never even been in the bottom 3 all season, but somehow found her way there last night. C'est LA vie!
Yes, I like Blake
and I'm not even a silly girl. We're all entitled to our own opinions, and I have no need to defend mine, though it looks as though I may be in the minority here. Not across America, though. I rarely voted, so I'm not the one who pulled him through.
Don't think for a moment that I'm one of those who liked Sanjaya as well because I didn't!
Blake
You're definitely not alone. He's totally unique and not like anyone they've ever had on AI. I do think that Jordin will win, but I was happy to see Blake in the top 2. I will say I was shocked though. My daughter voted for him for two hours straight, and I'm sure she'll vote again next week.
I like Blake
I think he's good at the type of music he performs and has his own unique style. I liked him right from the start and thought he stood out. I do agree this season is kind of weak and I also think Jordin will win it, but Blake has talent in my opinion.
I agree, Blake was the BEST and
I thought Melinda Doolittle looked mah-vah-lus dah-ling but the song/singing was not up to her best. Loved what she had to say about giving Simon a chance to say something bad. Good to see her speaking up!!
Also am tired of Haley's legs.
And Sanjaya!!!! Thought he was really good, dawg (as Randy would say). He sure played the camera. I do think he has some extra coaching going on. All those young girls (and guys too) will be voting for him as fast as their fingers can fly.
Phil's eyes are googly. But I love him because he is in the Navy and my husband and son are both Navy vets.
I think Haley will be off tonight.
Love Blake
He's the only unique one on the show. I do believe that Jordan will win, though. She's definitely very talented and very marketable. I'd rather not have Blake win. It seems a lot of times the ones who don't win go on to do very well in their own right and they're not "owned" by AI an can do what they want and not what's expected of them.
I love Blake!!
I love the things he does with the songs he does every week, which in my opinion are not good ones-Bee Gees, Bon Jovi, etc.-and makes them fresh, new and exciting. Now I'm not trying to upset any bee gees or bon jovi fans, but that's just my opinion! I just wish they would have the idols sing current hit songs.
LOVE BLAKE, TOO
I think he is so unique, but I do like his style of music and it might not be so popular with some. I think he has what it takes to do the whole thing, sing, make great music videos, provide enjoying concerts, and make great, unique CDs - I would love several CDs of him just doing cover songs. Then go out and do some new stuff. I'm 46 - but do appreciate his style and music. I am hoping that he wins, but even if he doesn't - he's got a career.
No, I don't like Blake - it should've been
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.
I think Blake has great voice and
a very unique style all his own. He deserves to still be in the competition. 
American Idol...does anyone really like Blake? sm
I would have loved to see the final showdown be between Melinda & Jordin.... but on the other hand Melinda is better off since she is free to get her own recording contract and you know she will. I think she'll end up being as successfull as Kelly & Carrie... if not more.
Blake certainly not a guy I would introduce to my family
very unclean looking kind of guy to me. Don't mind the short stuff but he looks like a good scrubbing is in order. RNT (really no talent) type of guy.
LOL! Blake should have gone a long time ago.

I think Blake was the best last night, I'm betting Haley goes home...nm

boring job. this is such a boring job.
having trouble staying focused lately. maybe the holidays being on my mind or something. just cant stay focused...anyone have trouble with the bordom?
Yes, boring!!
Yes, fitness and health should be promoted. Why not get off our duffs and go out and be physically active ourselves? And they are way, way overpaid - it is disgusting!
Although not as boring as the

I was boring.
I studied, was very active in church youth group, was in flag corp, babysat a couple times a week, traveled to Central America during 2 summers. I was a good kid. My parents were lucky!
Boring and overpayed.

Sports are not boring.
They are meant to promote competition and fitness. I wonder though if we had a disaster that would require "fit" people to help bring others to safety, would we be able to call on the athletes? I wonder if there weren't enough soldiers or police/firemen, etc., could we count on some athletes? A lot of these organizations also help charity. I know this is kind of off the subject, but I love sports, so maybe that's why I feel the way I do. JMO. Thanks for asking. 
What a boring Monday!!! (sm)
My line count is low today even though I am working my butt off to try to bring it up. I come over here for a break and it looks like no one has posted anything new for hours. Doesn't anyone have anything exciting to say (I don't!!! was hoping you did!) LOL
Beautiful but boring
It is really beautiful, but after 10+ years living here raising the kids, I am beginning to crave a little craziness! Tourist season can be pretty awful, but all those tourist $$$ keep my taxes pretty low.
It is truly a land of haves and have nots. In my town, there is one house for sale for $23 million, but you can still get a real fixer-upper for under $150K. Still not cheap, but like they say, location, location, location.
predictable and boring.

We definitely need a car. Long and probably boring.
Our ྙ Buick has been very good to us, but the transmission is going. We've been adding something (don't know the name) every 6 months over the past year, but we don't think it will hold out much longer. Plus, the last ice storm really did a number on our windshield. We had a "stone crack" that was there since the day we bought the car, but the storm put a crack across the whole length of the windshield and back again. We are driving the car that way, but need a new one.
The problem is we can't afford anything over $2000 and most of the cars we have looked at are $4000 and up. Now, hubby tells me if I close out my IRA and pay for the car, he will guarantee to pay me back next year if he gets back to work. The thing I don't like is the word IF. I have been practically sole support now because he hasn't worked much this year (not his fault) and, with the fall in the stock markets, I lost mucho dollars from my IRA, as he did. He still has double what I have left, but he wants me to close out my IRA.
We need a car so he can get to work (over 50 miles one way) once he gets back to work if he decides not to retire, but I'm tired of paying all the bills plus our health insurance (which he promised to pay half and hasn't been able to do - to the tune of $4000 owed) now having to worry about getting another car. Am I wrong to feel this way? I'm starting to feel like he just doesn't want me to have any control or have any savings, that it is a threat to him if I have any money.He's my high school sweetheart from 1965, so it's not like we're yung'uns. He wasn't this way until his surgery 2 years ago. I know I'll never be able to recoup my losses from my IRA and sometimes think I should just do what he says, but I feel it's my $$ that I worked hard to get, although it will never see me through my retirement.
He just paid the IRS and state taxes before the end of the year before they tacked on any more penalties and interest, and made ME feel guilty because I didn't have enough money deducted from MY wages to cover it (we are still trying to recover from his open heart surgery). I am claiming single and really starting to hurt money-wise. It's just too much for me to handle. I'm paying all the cc's that we had to use to survive to pay medical bills and doctors after his surgery.
What would you do in this case? I use the car maybe twice a week when it's here to go for groceries if he doesn't get around to going for them. Should I take him at his word? Should I close out my IRA and get a decent car (which would probably last us the rest of our life)?
I just need another person's opinion before I make my final decision. Thanks.
I thought it was boring last night . . .
The girl with the nasty photos is "vote for the worse" this year.
Who finds sports boring?
*raising my hand*
Not boring, but professional athletes..sm
are definitely overpaid!
If this is so boring - why bother? they need posters over there can't you tell
by this thread?
I guess we are one of those boring families, too...sm
We don't fight during the holidays, but then we really don't talk much either. My mom has Alzheimer and my brother just doesn't say much. I try to carry on a conversation, but it is hard to when you are met with silence.
It was kind of boring, I agree -PS (I like Phyllis)

Well, Desperate Housewives was just a boring recap
of last season, anyway. But Blazing Saddles? I guess he is not as willing to compromise? lol Men! Lord help us all! They're just simple boring creatures, ain't they?
Kitchen Nightmare is BORING. Same show and

Sounds kind of whitewashed & boring.
I don't think anyone would be interested in my boring hermit MT life.

Find a lawyer, find out where you would stand - sm
in the event of a divorce/separation, regarding custody, house, etc. Custody was my main concern as well since I lied on numerous occasions about the finances. Where I am I was told that would not factor in to the custody at all. I can prove that I am my kids caregiver 90% of the time, I ferry they around everywhere, help with homework, get ready for school, meet at busstop, etc. I could also point out my husband is an alcoholic, self treats his depression with alcohol instead of getting proper medical treatment, has threatend to kill himself (or me) numerous times (though he always says he was joking and did not mean it.....that is his standard answer to everything, or that he never said that). Now I do love him enough to deal with all that because deep down inside my DH is full of it, luckily for me, he has never followed through on anything he says he is going to do. But I thought my confession would be the straw that broke it all and send him over the edge. He still is angry with me, I am sure he will be for a long time, but is keeping it together pretty well, though he has said the stress was going to kill him, now he know how I felt I guess. I am sorry your husband is such a smuck. I feel like a dog sometimes with the sex demands, have to do it the night before he goes out of town....he will be traveling a lot for work for the next 3-4 months, which I am more than glad about, much calmer here then, though it gets tiring for me but as he is not really helping much right now it really won't be much of a change. As for yours going on 5 day weekends.....have you considered having him followed, sounds like there may be some infidelity afoot, and if so that would strengthen your case in the event of a divorce and custody I would think. Sounds a bit fishy going out until 1 a.m. and his frequent trips. My DH fishes too, but he goes 2 miles from here with one of our male neighbors, they shoot the breeze and he gets to unwind some which I encourage. Very rare weekends with a buddy of his, I am talking once every 2 years, which again is fine with me. Start keeping track of all you do, when he is home, where he supposedly goes, with whom, etc. He cannot show he will be a responsible dad if he is never there or never interacts with his own kids. My DH would probably suggest I take our older daughter and he the younger, spliting them up, he has the same perception, the oldest is mine, the youngest is his. Our younger daughter is much easier to deal with, our older daughter drives him nuts and she is only 10. My younger one (8) knows something has been going one though, and worries we will divorce, which she does not want. She is very perceptive for her years. I hope that if you do go the divorce route, which would actually probably be best in your situation, that it all works out for you and you get your fair share of assets, etc. Make sure before you do anything like that you have all your ducks in a row, so talk to divorce lawyer. I talked to one for 45 minutes, cost me $160 but was worth it to set my mind at ease. Good luck.
Man, I TRIED to watch the Awards show - I really did - but it was just too slow and boring, so I gav

Absolutely!!! Get a room already and stop boring the rest of us!

Bigger issue - a 16 year old living withi a 29 year old and liability
Are you still not responsible for him until he is 18, how can he tell you where he will live? Unless he emancipates himself and he does something wrong, can they go against you since you are his mother and legally responsible for him? I worry more about him living with a 29 year old sister rather than returning a house key to me that is a bigger issue.
My 14-year-old is going to be a mother-in-law (so funny) if you google it and 11-year-old daughter
