Not saying there’s no contrary ideology, but there’s a lot of people out there who think you succeed because God loves you; just like Phil espouses above. ---

God it just keeps weirder. ---

I am amused that my normally spot-on closed captioning, that can even manage to decipher Paula-speak, could not get one word of the little African boy’s lipsynched mess. Also, apparently the poor thing has been taking dance lessons from Gokey. ---

Did they show Gokey sing at all? And did his homecoming tape last as long as this one? Are they sending us subliminal cues? ---

Y’know, one of the things I always liked about Jordin is that she never fell into that whole “now that I’m famous, I must become a waif” line of thinking; she’s a curvy, solidly-built girl, and IMHO she looks damned hot. She also sounds great- I have to admit that I was initially disappointed that she won Season 6 (the first season I watched with any regularity), but I’ve since decided that American actually knew what it was doing. Where _has_ Blake been, anyway? ---

Aw, Scott didn’t stand up for Adam… jerk! 😃 ---

Jordin was clearly the best in a weak field of season six. Blake had a goofy charm, but wasn’t spectacular as a singer or anything. Adam I think is pretty centered; like he knows the fanfare is a lot of hype and BS. Dave Cook was the same way. ---

Honestly, I’d be perfectly happy if Kris wins, since we know Adam can take a 2nd place and run all the way with it… then again, they both could. What was Simon saying about a “big ding-dong”? I hope to hell he’s not alking about his own… 😛 ---

I said it last night: _ **This is soooooooooooooo hooorrible** _ and thank god it sent you home to the cheeseheads. Unfortunately we will have to see him in the finale ---

I’m sure he’ll have a long career in the Contemporary Christian genre singing about feeling Christ’s glory all over his face to crowds who do that hands in the air thing. Thank God I never have to see him again, though.
