I wanted to see Elliott go to the finale, too

In Reply to: I really like Elliott the best but I think Taylor - Elliott Fan
I'm worried about him tonight, though. I wish he would have picked a better song for his final one last night...something with a little more wow factor. Something more recognizable that people would have recognized and identified with, like Kat's Somewhere Over The Rainbow. People just turning in, who haven't watched all season and picked a favorite long ago, probably wouldn't have voted for him based on just last night. That's why I worry about Taylor if he makes it to the finals next week. Plenty of people will tune in just for the finals and I think if Kat is there, she will definitely have the advantage over Taylor to get those voters. I'm not giving up on Elliott until the show's over tonight, though.

Taylor/Elliott finale would be my dream
Then, I wouldn't be disappointed no matter who won and who came in second. I thought Chris was great in the beginning, too. Now, he just does nothing for me. I thought he was really contrived last night. Katherine did really awful on that second song, and she has never shown that spark, either, at least to me. Taylor I've loved from the beginning, and Elliott has grown on me a lot. I think he's the contestant who has grown the most in the competition, sort of like Clay. I'm waiting to see what Zaba Search says in about an hour, but they had him in last place last night. I hope Dial Idol is correct this time, but I just don't know. I will be very disappointed if Elliott goes home tonight instead of Katherine. It could be a big shocker like the first year and maybe Chris will go home? Doubtful.
New. Wanted to put in a better card to support a game my 17yo DD wanted to play.

finale
My tivo did not record it. Can anyone do a recap for me?
Lynda
Apprentice finale
Anyone see it and if so what are your thoughts on Randal's not wanting Trump to hire Rebecca, totally lost all respect for him!!!!
No one yet. Next week is the finale.

7th Heavn Finale tonight
Who will be watching the show finale tonight? I would watch the show with my daughters when they were in grammer school now they have better stuff to do and I still watch it. Was a great show.
Monday's season finale
I taped Sunday's show and watched it tonight, and immediately watched tonight's show. I can't believe what Izzie did. I certainly was glad I could buzz thru the boring part about planning the prom so I could get to the important parts. I thought Denny was safe, but not so fast. Very tender how what's-his-name intern picked Izzie up and held her at the end. I'm furious that Meredith and Derek are back at it. She's weird, self-absorbed, childish, ugly, and slutty, so get over her already, Derek! You so don't deserve your wife!
Glad I don't get overly involved in mere TV shows like some people, hehehe.
I missed the finale of The Apprentice! Who won? (n/m)
???
Yes, love the show and last night's finale
I wonder what is going to be wrong with Julia's baby and if she is going to tell Sean or just sucker him yet again. Guess that's the big cliffhanger, along with what will happen to Matt over Ariel's dad. Wonder if Cherry actually killed him or just shot his you-know-what off. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');

The 2-hour season finale is on tonight! nm

Season finale of Nashville Star tonight

Grey's anatomy finale recap comments
Denny died after his transplant, embolism. Alec was very kind and nice to Izzie afterward. Meredith and Derek had some steamy intimate moments at the end. Finn seems very taken with Meredith but it will probably do him no good. The prom part seemed rather far fetched. Burke and Christina were hand in hand near the end of show. His surgical ability will probably return, after all what would Grey's be without him?? George and the lady orthopod are becoming closer. Next season should be interesting indeed. This show is my very favorite series, also like ER but Grey's is better.
ELLIOTT
I am a singer and I appreciate his voice. He may not be much to look at, but he is coming along. Better hair last night. I get goosebumps when he sings.
I think Elliott....
...will sell some CD's. I don't think he'll be a SUPERSTAR or anything. But he has a substantial fan base and they will surely buy. Depends on the label and PR.
I don't get the attraction to Kat either. She's physically attractive I suppose (not to me of course, LOL) and she can sing, but she doesn't seem to have "it". The 3 guys all have "it" in their own ways/style.
Elliott's teeth. sm
I noticed that during the initial audition. They are getting better, he has been having dental work done for at least the last two shows. He has such a nice voice, I am sure before the grand finale his teeth will look real nice.
Taylor or Elliott
I'm rooting for Taylor or Elliott now that Chris is gone. I really don't want Katherine to win, but I have the feeling she will. Supposedly people are saying she's more "marketable"
I really like Elliott the best but I think Taylor
will win. I just think it's a shame if Kat is in the final two. I think Elliott completely deserves to be at LEAST 2nd. I think he will do well regardless and hope he gets a record deal out of this at least. He's different, Taylor is different, but nothing about Kat is anything but ordinary. Of course Chris was different too. I thought it would be cool to be down to the three guys. I think they're all unique, they all have completely different styles, and that's great. I think they ARE American Idols. They each highlight a different kind of music that Americans love. I really hope that Elliott stays tonight!
I'm in tears over Elliott
What a great, great guy. I'm sorry, but Kat sure came off poorly tonight, and her mother's little "take that" for the camera while Elliott was getting his goodbye was in very poor taste. I would have loved to have had Taylor and Elliott in the finals together. I would have been happy no matter who won then. I have a 19-year-old son, and I'd be so, so proud to have him carry himself with the dignity that Elliott did tonight. I'm am so sad for him, but I hope that something good comes for him out of this.
Tell Elliott I said "Hi!!!!!!"........lol..........nm
.
Clint Black and Sam Elliott --um,um um...
x
Oh yeah, forgot about Sam Elliott
and also Robert DeNiro
I agree, also. Look at the one song Elliott did,
I don't even remember Elvis doing it, it certainly was not a common one, and he did a great job. Kat had her chance.
I really like Elliott, but personality may be his downfall.
NO WAY for McPhee, too pitchy.
Gotta love Taylor, too. Lots of show quality. WOO-HOO!
AI - I think Elliott is history tonight-NM
NM
It all depends on who gets Elliott's voters
with everyone being in the 33% range last week that tells you the fan voting for Kat and Taylor was just about even. The key is in who gets the Elliott voters and from what I read on the AI boards it sure won't be Kat.
It's getting harder to pick. I'm afraid maybe Elliott but
hoping it's Katharine (although the second song she did last night was WONDERFUL). Elliott should NEVER have sang "I want to go home," that could stick in the minds of people when voting.
Along with this, is anyone having parties during all of the this. My DH is doing Pampered Chef and we've been invited to an AI party to do PC. The party will start at 6 and it should be lots of fun.
Have you noticed how Ryan hugs all over Elliott?
He doesn't touch Taylor or the other guys but each time Elliott is on stage with him he's hugging and touching him.
Elliott needs to be with his very sick Mom. Being the Idol would prevent that. sm
Besides, from what he said about AI being a "steppingstone," he's probably been contacted by someone big. He's going to make it, no matter what. I think being the Idol at this time would be too much for his personal life. His mother needs him now, and he knows it.
I hope either Paris or Elliott go home tonight
I think it will come down between Taylor and Chris. Ultimately, I hope Chris wins it - I LOVE HIM!
great info on Efraym Elliott Yamin

Elliott was yelling Soul Patrol tonight!
Gotta love Elliott. I'll be there to buy his CD...no doubt about it.
Sam Elliott, John Travolta, Charlie Sheen.
wanted to try it but wanted to make sure
nm
Katherine has got to go. I also thought Elliott and Taylor ruled the night!
Chris was okay, but we all KNOW he's better than this. I'm hoping his first CD is the "Walk the Line."
Just wanted to let you know (SM)
 That my cat is doing much better than a few days ago. He's eating food, and I saw him drinking today.  I've been giving him subcu fluid for the last couple days. We are moving to Nebraska on the 6th, so I hope the trip isn't too stressful for him. 
Well, I'm having fun playing with this  ...I was in mtstars withdrawal there for awhile. Hope you all are having a great day! 
Bye for now

WANTED:
Come to work for Soft Script. If you are a "newbie" transcriptionist, do not mind us stealing your lines, enjoy rude, threatening, and hateful e mails, and among numerous other things - you like to work for less than minimum wage, then we have the perfect position for you.
Yes folks, this is what you will get when you go to work for Soft Script, it is a lot of fun, everyone should try it.
NOT!!!!!!!!!
That was exactly the one I wanted to take.
However, there aren't any Irish dance instructors in my area. I searched ebay for the instructional videos last night.
I have always wanted to eat my
zzz
I can't believe you wanted to
Lame 'O' Rama!
I just wanted to be sure you all saw my...
"Thank you" down below. The response to this post was crazy and I appreciate the solid support you have given. Please pray for me to have the courage to face this leap of faith. He says he wants to make things better and that he loves me. I have not told him that I love him since he hit me in the eye two weeks ago and he has noticed. I think he realizes that I am tired of all the nonsense and that this could go either way right now depending on his behavior. I am strong, but I just have to believe in myself. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks again. J.
Just wanted to say thanks
to all of you who responded to my post a few weeks ago about insomnia. I decided to try the Melatonin, and it works wonders!!! I sleep like a baby every night and I don't suffer any side effects. I also like knowing that it's all natural
Anyway, I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!!!
i wanted to say too
when my mom was contemplating having the surgery, the surgeon provided her with names and numbers with patients who already had the surgery so that she could talk to them and see what their experience was.
I wanted to be....
An archaeologist/paleontologist (sic), a zoologist, or a veterinarian. Then I found out how long it took to go to school. That ended that!
I wound up going for computer programming. Hated that. Loved typing and computers but hated the programming end of it, so went into accounting. Me....who flunked math in school, but it challenged me and I was good but not enough typing for me. Then did typing for a book company...got bored. Now I'm an MT. What a life!
Please don't ask my age. LOL
Just wanted to add . . .
It is a blessing to have this site to go to where there are others who truly understand the pain/abuse we take/put up with. Only another MT could possibly understand what it is like at times.
I also wanted to add this ...
Many may actually know the terminology but make mistakes in their transcription or typos. Still, it is incorrect and it cannot be accepted.
Hearing correctly is one thing; transcribing it correctly to the document is another.
I think many errors happen on the transcription phase, not the hearing/understanding phase.
Thanks so much! That was exactly what I wanted to know....nm

I really wanted to ask
my former PS to send me a picture but I was too shy and knew I should not anyway. His voice sounded sexy and just by the way he talked about things in general I had a feeling he was.
yea... i NEVER did whatever I wanted
and as an IC i had every right to, but I stuck to my 24 hour TAT for seven years unless I was sick... i NEVER did vacations, I Never took time off... EVER. Now i'm kicking myself for it since after 7 years they have betrayed me.
Wanted to add
I wanted to add that I do work someplace else also because I don't believe in this industry you can put all your eggs in one basket but I do think Transcend is a nice place to work overall.
Just wanted to say
THANK YOU for the replies. I did receive an e-mail response also, and appreciate that too :).
I am feeling a bit better about this, but still worried too . . . just part of my personality, I guess.
I would still like to hear from others who have experience with this, and thanks again!
Just wanted to say
 that I welcome corrections from QA's who make corrections that are legitimate, a mis-spelling, wrong term, wrong word, that sort of thing. I actually look forward to feedback when I get a particularly tough dictator and had to send it in with blanks so I can see if the QA was able to make sense of it so I will have a better chance of getting it next time. I appreciate your help in making me a better MT. The QA's that I have a problem with are the one's that send my stuff back with "corrections" that are not really corrections, things that would not impact the document in the least. It is silly, anal, and just makes everyone's job harder. I just wanted to put that out there because it sounds like from the posts that there are a few good QA's out there that just want to do their job and help us get better as opposed to nit-picking every little, tiny, miniscule thing they can find. I also especially appreciate the QA's that just give the feedback or explain why the feedback-not the ones with attitude and arrogance and nasty remarks. Those are the people that need to change jobs, because they are not helping anyone.
