a very unique style all his own. He deserves to still be in the competition.

Song: Almost Home
 Cat
Album: I Love It
(Craig Morgan/Kerry Curt Phillips)
He had plastic bags wrapped 'round his shoes
He was covered with the evening news
Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands
The bank sign was flashing "5 below
It was freezing rain an' spittin' snow
He was curled up behind some garbage cans
I was afraid that he was dead
I gave him a gentle shake
When he opened up his eyes
I said,"Old man are you ok?"
He said,"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home..."
Then he said,"I was just comin' round the barn"
'Bout the time you grabbed my arm
When I heard Momma holler son hurry up
I was close enough for my old nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck
Cane poles on the tailgate
Bobbers blowin' in the wind
Since July of ཱི
That's as close as I've been
"Yeah, I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home"
I said,"old man you're gonna freeze to death"
Let me drive you to the mission
He said,"Boy if you'd left me alone
Right now I'd be fishin'"
"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home"
"Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home..."

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.
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.

Thank you for a voice of reason
I think there are more than one or two of us in this predictament. Making the changes I'm trying to make right now is actually exacerbating the anxiety, but I know it's my only way out and in the long-run will alleviate the anxiety. My body and mind have been screaming at me for a year now, I can't live on Xanax to keep this job, I'm getting less and less effective and more apathetic. My spouse is supportive and has recently put his foot down on "no dinners at the computer" and "no vacations where I look at you hunched over a computer," and "tell them to take their vacation policy and stick it where the sun doesn't shine." I think I needed that nudge and am glad for the support, though I still feel someewhat guilty when I don't push myself to the limit.
Quietmoods, you're not alone.
Everyone has a right to voice their opinion - (sm)
No need for you to debate - just state your opinion and move on.
Anyone who never has to raise their voice to get (sm)
I have an 8 year old an almost 11 year old and my husband is gone a lot. They are basically good children, never get in trouble at school except occasionally for talking, don't really do anything malicious or mean. But sometimes the bicker incessantly with each other and many times I feel as if I have to tell them repeatedly to do something and finally have to get a mad voice before they listen -then their feelings are hurt because I raised my voice. Right now my son is crying because I told him he has to help clean the house before he can have friends over this morning (he is almost 11). On school days they don't want to help because they have been at school all day. On weekends they don't want to help because those are their only days off. I am making them help even though they don't want to, but why the tears? It makes me feel like a mean mom, but I can't do it all myself and don't feel I should have to.
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
Oh, the voice of Darth Vader!
I've definitely been spending way too much time on the Medquist board! Thank you everyone who reminded me about James Earl Jones and the finer things in life. Isn't it amazing that he has a problem with stuttering but has managed to develop such a beautiful voice? See what some of our docs could do if they tried? When I'm done working for the day, I think I'll listen to his narration of Aaron Copeland's A Lincoln Portrait. Beautiful music, gorgeous voice.
A truly magnificent voice and talent. nm

I CAN have my opinion and give voice to such.

Thank goodness, another voice of reason!
My husband did not "cop out", he provided more than enought support, insurance, braces, etc. The deadbeat mother who didn't want to work is to blame here, she taught her daughters to take men for all their worth and then move on; nice role model.As long as she got the child support and played the "victim" she was happy as could be, yet still dumped her children off on other's to raise without notifying the father. Yes, he did go back to court, but guess what, when kids are in their teens they are allowed to decide where they want to live and dad was not one of their options. Too bad because had they have given him one ounce of respect and kindness there is nothing he would not do for them. Now that the well has run dry for them support wise we don't hear from them. Grow up, accept responsibility and get a job to help pay for school; millions do it and have survived!
Just say "Dave ain't here, man" in your best stoner voice... nm
haha
I think Blake was the best last night, I'm betting Haley goes home...nm
nm
I really like Blake, find the girls boring this year...sm
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.
Finally - a voice of reason in the wilderness!
and please, OP - GET OVER IT - he WAS just being nice!
Rachel Ray also drives me nuts with her voice.
I like the woman who does Barefoot Contessa, calm and relaxed with a soothing way about her.
Gene Simmons' son. He has the MOST awewome voice.
x
that's not surprising; he has an awesome sounding voice

I thought Adam's voice was SO annoying.
nm
small voice from the back... "I think I'm going to be bus sick." Everyone else... "STOP
nm
No, Robin...You're the VOICE OF REASON on this topic and
And you're saving me the trouble of posting since you're beating me to it.
Keep posting and keep the reality checks coming, please!!!
I heard the voice yelling out about broken record
and I figured Kara was saying similar statement as she had for previous round. Had no idea Megan's brother. I, like you, could not believe how she was acting and basically think she shot her own self in her foot. What music producer would take a wannabe and try to make a star out of that? Besides do not consider her that talented at all.
Yes, I watched that. She has a beautiful voice. A real joy to listen to!! nm
nm
Basing on talent, I think Taylor Hicks has a phenomenal voice.
t
The voice of Darth Vader was James Earl Jones.
DEEP
It's a catchy tune, she has a unique voice, different sound blending 60s Motown and current lyric
x
Limbo. Great song, great game. Also,
The girls all line up and walk through a room as if they are modeling on the catwalk. Get a couple of bright colored boa's from the party store. It's a real riot and the kids have a blast especially if a couple of brave boys grab a boa and do it too. We've had many a birthday party doing this and it was totally hilarious.
Wow!! What a great attitude! I love that - great perspective!

What great determination and help from a great friend! :) nm

I am sure that you are a great mother and a great cook,
and that you tried everything, now try the 'hunger diet'.
Great one! Thanks!! nm
nm
That's great!!
A great big congrats to your daughter! She is so fortunate to have such a supportive and helpful family!!
Did he say anything at all about how great a new job for you would be? I'd keep an eye on him as
s
Wow, that's great!
We had always said 3 and that's when we stopped. They are all teenagers now. Wouldn't change a thing either.
That was great.
I'm glad they did that. What fun. Not only was he thin, but his clothes were nice. No jump suit. I preferred his hair when it was his natural brown rather than the black dye job.
That's great - sm
I'm glad I don't need them anymore then! Also check with your state regarding laws about those things. For example, in Florida you are only allowed to borrow 500, in which case I would be weary of anyone offering more. Thanks for the tip - looks like you should be advising me!
Great, thanks!
I listen and take all ideas I can.
My mom did it and it looks great.
She did not fill in the cracks, and it looks great simply painted.
