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.

This weeks Idol
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.
No, actually they don't. You guys run on emotion, not fact. And when fact is presented,

LOVE ER!!! I watch the re-runs every day, and watch the new ones on Thursday night!!

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*.

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!!
not just the fact of being PT, but sm
she claims to work two jobs! Who has that much time. I don't believe it's physically possible to work that much, but that's just IMHO, of course! 
I don't do it all day either - in fact,
I worked around parts of Louisiana in hospitals as a Transcriptionist in the past! Now I come to NOLA to vacation. I'll be there for a few days in September and then again in October and then again maybe in November.
IT IS A FACT
The DocQmanage program has a page where the managers can select or deselect anything they want to be counted, i.e. spaces, letters, numbers, headers, footers, (a whole page full of things). BUT: The main thing is this - they can put whatever number they want in there as a DIVISOR to divide the number of characters by; and the characters are almost always not counted correctly because they have selected to "not count" spaces, headers, footers, numbers, etc, etc. THEY ARE CROOKS.
Its a fact - CM
Hi CM - can you e-mail me? thanks.
IT IS A FACT
They did not tell us this, as far as the F9. I just checked it and you are absolutely right. They told us where we could find our line count. What a bunch of BS. Do you happen to know if every company has their own "computations" to reduce line counts? How sad this is :<
Oh, I'm with you there. In fact, I
if anyone ever feels like just giving up on EVERYBODY in their live and walking away and starting a new life with a clean slate? All my kids have already left home or are close to leaving home age. One is doing horribly in school and won't put any effort into it. One was a bitch on wheels this morning and is in trouble for underage drinking. One is doing better than the other 2 but just informed me it's going to take 2 more years to get through college (she's a junior now) and we can't afford another year. And DH wet the bed last night and I am just beside myself. The only time he has ever done that is when he was drinking. He swears he hasn't been drinking (he's an alcoholic). Yah right. I feel like I am the only one who halfway has it together.
And financially - let's not even go there.
I feel like taking the cat and driving off into the sunset and never coming back.
They are asking how you know this for a fact?
It was a big stink on another board some time ago about how people claim to know things FOR A FACT.
Yes, and let's not get into the fact that most sm
daycares all over the country are "state regulated" not state-run, but receive millions of dollars a year from moms and dads who get their childcare paid for by the state (our tax dollars) so that they could work out of the home.
When people gripe about us moms who stay at home with our children they should be glad that we are working AND taking care of our children and not depending on the state or grandma to do it!!!
was the fact that she was gone even
Was an explanation given as to where she was and if she'd be back? I don't watch that show, all those women grate on my nerves, but I am curious as to know if they even broached the subject of the missing Star! (She's so tacky...tried to get her whole wedding for free, puhleeze...)!!!
no that's not a fact
I've been using AT&T CallVantage for about a year without a single problem. In fact, when I signed up I told the rep what I did and he said it was not a problem.
That was not me. In fact, I actually
and that is why I posted to the person who did that, letting that poster know that the original poster did not post twice. However, your message and placement of same sure did indicate that you were *speaking* to me.
do you know this for a fact?
