what they said is the absolute. He has no talent, just a b-bop type of pattern and that is certainly not singing but not to worry, he will be the next off. he has had his 15 minutes and that is where he will stay. I see no singing engagements in his future. After this idol and the group tour, he will be history as we say.

I just spoke with them and they said they were
Tomorrow will be 5 weeks.
the judges should know better . . .
WIth all the thousands of talented people out there, why do they put these kids through in the first place. It gets a lot of attention, right now on Fox news, Stephanie is on and what are they talking about? Sanjaya Jambalaya.
But as the judges keep saying,
this is a singing contest, not anything else. I guess they should have renamed the program so dummies out there would know it was for singing, not a good looking contest, oh forgot, that would leave Blake out also.
You spoke too soon, I know of someone
who told me they were banned from this board and I know the other you speak of, not that one.
The judges themselves have said
that never before have there been so many outstanding performers than this time.
I would really hate seeing Allison being voted off.
I see Adam definitely more talented than Susan.
And Matt (and everybody!) is better looking and more charismatic than Susan.
She is such a 'Hausfrau' (housewife).
She reminds me of Hyracinth in 'Keeping up appearances'.
Hyacinth, no bad feelings, ok?!
When she asked if I spoke English, I would...
have said, "No, I don't, but thanks for asking" and hung up.
I'm with you.... and why in the world do the judges just love....sm
Marie Osmond? My gosh - just last week alone I could have danced better than she did and I am not a dancer at all!
I spoke with the super last night
to arrange this meeting today. I pointed out to him that the policies have a list (long list I might add) of things they consider as weapons but they don't list pepper spray.
I get the feeling that he is going to go with me on this and chalk it up to an unfortunate event.
Sadly, if things go the opposite direction, there is no alternative school. This is a very small town. We would have to pack up and move away in order to put her in another school.
Homeschooling is not an option.
Will followup after the meeting.
I spoke to my sister and explained your situ with the rug...sm
Without missing a beat she said "Well, just move the chair and place it over the ring...No fuss, no muss!".... Cat
The only people who spoke English were the recruiters.
They micromanage A LOT.
I can't get to the company board...
The judges picked awful songs all the
way around last night, I thought. None of them were suited for the songs chosen for them & they were bad songs... And speaking of judges, I hope Cara or Kara is GONE next season. She gets on my last nerve.
They should take away public voting and go back to judges votes and they should
like 6 so then it's more fair. Randy calls it like it is, Paula can never say the truth is someone isn't very good, and Simon while I agree with him most of the time is rather vile.
I think this commentator spoke it best. Good read. I agree with him wholeheartedly! sm
This whole push to remove Christ from the Christmas season has gotten so ridiculous that it's pathetic.
Because of all the politically correct idiots, we are being encouraged to stop saying "Merry Christmas" for the more palatable "Happy Holidays." What the heck are "Seasons Greetings"? Can someone tell me what season we are greeting folks about? A Christmas tree? Oh, no! It's now a holiday tree. Any Christmas song that even remotely mentions Christ or has a religious undertone is being axed for being overtly religious. And I'm sorry, forget X-M-A-S. Malcolm X? Yes. X replacing Christ? No.
Don't get me wrong; I'm very respectful of other religions. I don't want anyone to be afraid of discussing the Jewish faith when we address Hanukkah. And we shouldn't dismiss Muslims when the annual pilgrimage to Mecca is held during December. In fact, Americans are so ignorant of other faiths that we can all learn from one another.
But this seeming backlash against Christianity is bordering on the absurd, and we should continue to remember that Jesus is the reason for the season.
I know that may sound strident, but it's true. We spend an inordinate amount of time focused on shopping and buying gifts, but really, what does any of this have to do with the birth of Jesus? We have families all over the nation killing themselves to buy a tree they can't afford, running up their credit to buy toys and other gifts, all in an effort to make someone else happy.
What if families decided to forgo gifts, and instead, used their shopping days giving back to those in need? What if more of us went into our closets, grabbed old toys and clothes, repackaged them, and provided them as gifts to those without? Instead of gorging on food, what if we used some of the dough to feed those who are in need? What if we blew off those gift cards to electronic retailers and signed up with Networkforgood.org, and gave someone a gift card to their favorite charity?
Sure, I know I sound like a reincarnation of a flower child, but really, do we have to be so crass during the Christmas season?
Parents, don't be so consumed with the notion that your children will have a terrible Christmas because the tree isn't overflowing with gifts. The true love that you show them is more important than anything else.
America might be the king of capitalism, but secularism must never become so prevalent that our religious traditions are discarded.
