Hi all! What are your thoughts on last nights performances? I thought Kelly was just absolutely awful. Although, Katherine should be thanking her lucky stars that Kelly was as bad as she was, otherwise, I am sure that she would be getting the boot tonight. I thought that Elliot was the best by far last night. Chris is my second place. Taylor and Paris both did a good job. My final three are still Elliot, Chris, and Taylor.

Wow. So Sad!!! I am not an Idol fan at all. In fact, hardly ever watch it. But a few weeks ago sm
I watched Mandisa (?) sing an awesome Christian song THAT I LOVE!!! I thought she knocked it out of the park. Of course, being a secular show, Simon detested it as it probably convicted him to no end........
I wanted to actually vote for the first time since idol aired, but I just didn't that night. I should have. She was voted off (so I hear) because she sang a Christian song?
Sounds to me like it's the best thing that happened to her. Must be God's way of telling her no to be an artist in the secular world. I hope she gets a Christian label because I will be the first in line to buy her music.
No flames please. Unless you are a Christian, you will NOT get my post. 
Idol top 12
Bo seemed very happy. I think he had been careful to look cool while he was a contestant, but last night he could just have fun and not worry about a cool image. I don't think Ayla is snotty, but she's not as good as Katharine, and she also has her basketball to concentrate on. I think Melissa was shocked that she snuck through. And Kevin was blown away that he made it. I'm glad he did. He has a wonderful voice, though the music he chooses isn't exactly pop idol material, so he's not the total package. Will and Gideon leaving was okay with me. I figured Ace would make it through, though I don't enjoy him.
Now there are only one or two guys and one or two girls I won't mind getting the boot, though in the end I think the winner will be Chris or Elliott or Lisa or Katharine. I think Lisa is holding back to wow everybody at the end.

 Okay, I guess I'm one of the few who have never watched this show! However, i just had a doctor dictating, said "Katherine McVeigh is gonna do well only cause she is so bloomin' good looking. She cannot sing worth a hoot". I cracked up!
Idol Fan
I think Chris was just as shocked that "Cat" of all people beat him out! She has always been my least favorite! My favorite has always been Mr. Soul Patrol!! Of course you have to love Elliott too! Chris will be fine and probably have a record deal very soon.
Idol Nothing New
Unfortunately, I think the show is "fixed" every year. They latch on to a particular contestant and you can just see how much they favor that one person. It happened last year with Carrie. A few days before the finale, an article was posted on the internet from a newspaper that said when speaking about Carrie, "the winner of American Idol" even though the final show hadn't aired yet. Needless to say a day later the article disappeared

I think Katherine is great if she sings the right song.
American Idol
I missed the first 6 minutes. What did I miss???
American Idol
I think, BY FAR, the guys are better this year. Of course, I thought that last year too...Bo was robbed!
Anyway, I just love Taylor...there's just something about him that is genuine and warm, I don't know, I hope he wins!
What are your thoughts? Who's outta there tonight? I think either Kevin or Will...sorry to say, cause they're both cuties!
As for the girls, eehh...who cares? They just aren't...as Randy says...bringing it this year...nuff about them.
Ace is hot  , Chris is just plain good  ...but Taylor's still my pick! 
American Idol
Taylor is something else - but so is Chris - he sang "Broken" like he really felt it last night. I am for either of them winning - as for the girls - Mandisa has it handsdown.
American Idol...sm
Ok, last night's show...
First, I can't believe that Kevin dodged the bullet and got into the top 12...but I'm glad, he seems like such a sweet kid. Kinda figured Will would go, but I liked Gedeon too.
I'm glad Ayla (sp?) got the boot, didn't like her. She was snotty! Kinnik was nothing special either, so guess she had to go too.
As for Bo's performance, I don't know...he seemed kinda off or something.
Now it gets good...the top 12...who's your pick to win? Mine's Taylor...or maybe Chris!
I agree with your Idol Fan!
Kelli has been needing to go home for weeks now, luckily Bucky was worse than her. Elliott is also my favorite, has been since Day 1. And Chris is also my second favorite. Although I don't think Taylor has as strong as a voice as some of the others I absolultely love him! That show won't be the same without him! Hopefully Kelli goes home tonight!!!! I'm SO over her blond attitude! Elliott all the way!!!!
Idol this week
Elliott seems genuinely goofy. I'd like to see the guys perform a female artist's songs after Katharine was required to perform Elvis songs with all the guys.
American Idol
There are only three left now. Who will be the winner? amj
Dial Idol
It's at www.dialidol.com. It's free to download. I have high speed internet on my laptop but also have the regular old phone line modem. It was so easy. I just downloaded the program. Plugged in the cord from the phone. It pretty much configured itself. Then when the show was over, I opened up the program. This last week, they only did two lines for each contestant instead of three. You don't have to put in the phone numbers or anything. You just select where you want your votes to go. You can split them if you want...but being you are Soul Patrol (Whoooo!) I don't think you will :) It does all of the dialing and redialing for you after that. I just walked away but came back to check on how it was doing. It also tracks who, according to it, is ahead based on number of calls, percentage of busy signals, etc. It's been about 85% accurate, and Taylor has been on top every week.
Idol Tickets
Dress up like a major fan with Idol T-shirt and other accessories and stand in front of local supermarket with a karaoke machine singing some famous Idol songs, "I believe", "A moment like this"! Oh, c'mon, that would be good! lol
Any American Idol Fans out there ?

Brenna - American Idol
I was also very happy to see Brenna get voted off and the crap she said about making her own record. She sucked!
American Idol tonight!!

American Idol Results.....SOON
The results are in............who is leaving American Idol tonight? We will know in about 30 minutes from now. My feeling is that either Kevin or Kellie are going home tonight......I like Kellie, but she really doesn't have the voice like the others, and Kevin, well, he speaks for himself - CHICKEN LITTLE - LOLOLOLOL!
I see it coming down to Chris and Kathryn!!!!!!!!
American Idol--who are your favs?
Mine are:
- Taylor (he just makes me happy)
- Mandisa (love her)
- Chris (he is awesome)
- Paris (so spunky)
- Katherine (so talented and controlled)
American Idol last night
How did everyone think it went last night? I was again disappointed by some of my favorites. I just love Mandisa and Taylor, yet they were not up to snuff at all last night.
American Idol Tour
Has anyone here ever gone to any of the tour shows?
american idol tour
Do Simon, Paula, Randy and Ryan go on the tour or is it just the idols?
I missed American Idol tonight.
:-)
Who watched American Idol tonight???
Cannot even believe that Bucky went home before Ace, Katherine, or Paris. Ace cannot sing at all! Bucky was not great, but it was definitely not his time to go! 
I downloaded Dial Idol this week
on my laptop and had it do my dialing and voting for me this week. I've never done that before but it sure was easier...and I usually need to be working every evening, too, so can't just stop and vote for 2 hours..or 3 next week. I have such anxiety or this show. I don't know what my problem is. When I told my son last night that Taylor made it to the finals, I said "Do you know what that means?" He said, "He'll come in second and you'll be disappointed again?" Yep..he knows how it goes. Obviously, I absolutely loved Clay and cried the night he didn't win. I didn't really get too wrapped up in season 3. I liked Bo and was disappointed but didn't cry when he lost. This year, I have the feeling for Taylor like I did for Clay. I will be so, so disappointed and upset at this dumb show if he doesn't win. As many times as Kat has been in the bottom, and Taylor never, I will just not understand it if he doesn't win, and on the other hand I guess I will just not be surprised at all, either.
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.
RE American Idol. In the past Simon has said (sm)
America got it right. Do you think he will say that this year? In my opinion, these are the two WEAKEST contestants of this entire season. Taylor is very lounge-y and Kat is completely inconsistent. She'll do well with one song and not the other. I think Kat is more marketable and I think, somehow, Taylor made it in under the radar. JMO. What do you all think?
Idol chat board agrees - Paula was
wacked last night.

My favorite moment last night of American Idol...
I loved the moment when that Clay Aiken wannabe was given that razzie award and was singing Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (much to the regret of my ears, LOL) and out walks Clay Aiken, the crowd goes wild and I'm sure the wannabe thought they were cheering for him. LOL I think he was truly shocked that Clay was there. Nobody could have acted his reaction out! I loved it.
I'm in the same boat.. Sat on the idol website and watched reruns of

Update on daughter & local Idol Contest....
I am getting so nervous I am having trouble working. She has decided to sing Sara Evan's "Born to Fly" as her first song and it she is chosen in the top five, she will sing Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You." Two totally different songs. The elimination process has been easy thus far but now MOST of the 12 are good so it is hard to pick a top 5 which I hope she at least makes. Wish us luck.
The biggest overrated Idol contestant right now is Kellie Pickler.

Yes, Live, his fave group - and the lead singer is his *idol*.

Billy Joel, Rascal Flatts, any of the Idol kids. nm

Local radio station is giving away American Idol concer tickets. sm
They're running a contest for 2 free tickets. With the entry, you have to list what you would be willing to do in exchange for these tickets. The best/most original idea will win the tickets. Any suggestions? It has to be something the person would really be willing to do. I really want these tickets!!
Can't be V-day, most of us have been out for 2 weeks.

I got a second job 3 weeks ago to
help with our debt. Hubby cannot work. No children left at home. It is tiring, but I am hoping to get ahead.
Going on 4 weeks.
I type with a headache and it is so wearing on me and my body. I cant get rid of it and it kills me. I went to the doctor and he said it was from my neck muscles strained and sinus both, so he put me on some medication. I am not sure it is taking it away though, since it has been a week with just little improvement. I have had my eyes checked and everything. What are rebound headaches exactly? I just wish I could get rid of myn as well.
Four weeks for me, sm
I went back at 4 weeks after having c-section because I was working at home. My husband was not happy, but I only worked about 3-4 hours a day in the beginning because I had the baby, but it really was not that bad. I would try to be most productive when the baby was sleeping.
Yes, 4-6 weeks. nm

I just have one done this way 2 weeks ago - sm
no big deal. I did conscious sedation, though I did not have a choice, but I would think this is the safer way to go (cheaper too). I experienced no discomfort at all during or afterwards. Don't remember the colonoscopy at all. Last thing I remember is them injecting my IV, saying it would sting (it did), next thing I knew my kids and friend who brought me were standing in there looking at me. I was very groggy though, half slept on the drive home, came home and conked out for 2 hours. Awoke feeling much more alert and back to normal. Just make sure you follow the prep instructions to a "T". Got a copy of my report which said my prep was excellent!
I did after about 1-1/2 weeks
but I should have quit sooner (Medquist). They misrepresented (I'm being nice here) the type of work I would have. When there was work (constantly ran out), I spent most of my time looking up names of physicians for the demographics. It was a nightmare. After a few reports, I'd get the dreaded "There are no more reports. Please press...." Then I'd call the office and if I was lucky, someone would return my call in an hour....Like I said, I didn't want to feel like a quitter either, but I finally figured that they weren't treating me like a valuable employee, why should I hang in there when no one would even return my calls? My previous employer took me right back, and thankfully hadn't found a permanent replacement for my accounts! If I ever search again, I will try the new place out first part-time before jumping into the flame.
Every day for two weeks now, I was out of
work for months and thankfully, even right before Christmas, no doubt, I have a job now that keeps me busy, almost busier than I want to be, but I am making so much money right now, I don't care! It's feast or famine!
I wonder about this. Every few weeks
someone puts up a post that they just discovered this wonderful website. What is going on?????
A few weeks ago someone
on this forum was saying she bought 2003 with 2008 Works for 48.00 or so on E-Bay, from a seller in Arizona. Another person wrote a message that it wasn't 2003 with 2008 Works but 2002, but the original poster said it was INDEED 2003 and she was using it! You might try search?
I remember this post because it interested me in that I needed a copy of 2003 & was willing to buy it through E-Bay. Luckily, my hubby works for computer manufacturer in testing division. They had an unused copy of 2003 that they didn't really need or want as they said this was "old technology" & they let me have it!  Made my day!
No...not per week/2 weeks.....
Per PAYPERIOD which is 15-16 days.
Part-time IC .. 6000 per payperiod.
Usually in 2 weeks I know if it will work out or not. nm

I am starting a new Rad job in 2 weeks-$16.50/hr
nm
I have only been at it for a couple of weeks..
Having several years experience, I thought I could step right in and nail it. There are a variety of issues/concerns most importantly the accents, getting use to the different accounts (I have several) and unrealistic expectations I have set before myself. It is a good thing I get paid by the hour because if I got paid by the line, I would be starving!!! Some files are easy to zip through, others are are a real dragon!!!! I am going to give it more time though. I have wanted this position for a while and I don't give up easy! Thanks for letting me vent.
