Ah, I got the year wrong, to no one’s surprise. It’s such a painful memory, I’ve tried to wipe it all out. Unfortunately, that ain’t gonna happen; 40 years later and it’s still as traumatic as it was then.
I saw a story on one of those gossip shows this morning with Little Crying Girl. She’s 13, lives in Riverside, CA, and is a huge Idol fan. She and her mom came to the dress rehearsal, and she started crying during the dress rehearsal and never let up, so they moved her down to the front for the show itself. So her placement was a plant, but her crying? Was totally real. Her mom said she was still crying the next morning.

Is it one contestant she’s hung up on or is it the whole experience that’s rocking her world?

If she were mine, I’d give her something to cry about.
*you know, something along the lines of telling her to knock it off already.

Is it still about missing his daughter’s birth to audition for AI then? Because I don’t think we’ve seen enough of him otherwise to determine whether he’s a douche or not.
[/QUOTE]
That’s part of it for me but not all of it. I also find him smarmy and obnoxious. For instance, all the “whoo-hooing” and fist pumping when he found out his was safe last night. Something about people who say “whooooooo” just goes right through me. It’s a personal thing, I know.
I don’t get the Phil dislike. OK, so he’s bald and he reminds everyone of Nosferatu, but he’s got a decent voice and the basic moves. I can see him being a “dark horse” and surprising everyone.
[/QUOTE]
I have only liked one of his performances so far…his voice has an odd characteristic to it, not sure if it’s nasal or what.
[QUOTE=yellowval]
I don’t get it either, and the comments about his looks (especially the stupid links to pictures of Nosferatu) are getting on my nerves. Come on, people! I could probably find something about every single contestant’s looks to pick apart but I don’t because it seems juvenile and that’s not what this is about. It seems silly to me that people have irrational hatred for someone because of how he looks.
[/QUOTE]
I agree the comments about his looks are a bit cruel and petty but I admit I do find the shiny head distracting when he’s performing. At least Chris Daughtry’s head wasn’t shiny. Couldn’t they powder it or something? That hats don’t help since they’re always goofy looking and just as distracting.
Phil should just stop with the “wooing”. It is unseemly. Phil, you haven’t won anything, so all you’re doing is cheering the fact that you haven’t lost yet, and that some other poor sap is going home tonight.
If I remember, wasn’t Stephanie the first contestant to perform once they got to 24? In any case, I remember she came out and tore the place up. Steph, Steph, whatever happened to that girl?
As for Lulu, yeah I was a bit disappointed at first with the new arrangement, but then of course I remembered all I had to do was put on my old copy on vinyl. Why shouldn’t I expect her to change things up a bit. She’s probably sang that song 1000 times.
I thought they were going to change it up by saying “You’re not the bottom three”, but then reshuffle and get one of the same people in a different group and say, psych, but you three are. And that person gets a shock after thinking they were safe.
Man, that was hard to explain.
Stacey…wear shirts that don’t show your chest sweat. Thanks.

They and anyone who says “C’mon people! Get up!” during their performance need to be banned.

See, his “wooing” doesn’t bother me. I see it as a stress release., I’d probably do something similar if I were in his shoes.
On Phil - I am not a fan for three reasons: 1) the auditioning during his child’s birth thing, 2) his nasally tone, and 3) his pathetic attempts to be the “male rocker” when he just doesn’t have the edge.
On Sanjaya - I for one am glad he got some recognition for his performance tuesday night. I’ll take bad but fun over ok but forgettable (Stephanie) every time.
On Chris Sligh and BJU - he left the school and has done nothing to demonstrate any intolerance. Unless he starts spewing something offensive, I am going to give him the beneft of the doubt and keep enjoying him.
On the lack of Beatles tunes - I thought I read once that Paul McCartney was going to make an appearance later in the season. Is there a Beatles theme night on the horizon, which is why the Beatles were not on the playlist? Or am I imagining things again?

I didn’t want my eyes to be all puffy when “Lost” came on, just in case Matthew Fox can see me through the TV. Does this make me a bad person?

Listen ya little floozy, Matthew Fox is my t.v. boyfriend. You called dolphin boy.

I don’t know anything about what is expected on the McCartney night, but I am reliably informed that Mr. McCartney has had at least a blip of musical success following the breakup of his original group.
Speaking of really skewed voting, I thought Chris S. was joking when he said Peter Noone was voted “sexiest male artist” back in 2001, but he was (VH1 Sexiest Artist of the Year Award). Was that a gag? (He’s certainly not ugly and he seems a nice guy- married to the same woman for almost 40 years, no drug scandals, didn’t wind up broke and hawking crap on infomercials, etc.- but “sexiest?” In a year when Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias were touring and… what’s that about?)

I heard Howard Stern had all his fans vote for Noone as a goof.
