American Idol

Anyone remember the old tv show "Queen for a Day." For those who don't, it was a daily tv show from the 50's where several ladies got up and told their sob story and then they used an applause meter to pick the winner. The winner received a crown and robe and all sorts of gifts. That was fine for Queen for a Day, but, hey, this show is supposed to be about talent. Is there so much extra talent out there that they have to make the deciding factor the ...

Is it just me or does anyone else find AI boring this year? I don't think the talent is that great. I loved when Matt and Scott sang last night. ...

I am really loving the show this year. Who do you think will be going home tonight?. I think it could either be Paul, Haley or Pia. I am hoping it is not Casey, James or Scotty. ...

I know, I know. It can be a bit lame but I've been watching it for years. Who do you think will win this year? I originally thought it would definitely be Jessica Sanchez, now I'm not so sure. That Joshua can certainly sing, although he wasn't my favorite at first, but he has grown on me. Holly has also stepped it up a few notches. Guess it's up to the voters now. ...

What happened to good ole talent? Sure don't like the new American Idol. They really need to leave out the sob stories and crocodile tears Oh, poor me, I had a hard life, I was in an accident, I had a horrid disease, someone picked on me, waah, waah, waah. ...

Any comments on the new American Idol. I really enjoyed Wednesday's show I thought it was funny and refreshing. I have not seen Thursday and read where the reviews were not great. I think Jennifer Lopez will learn to say no as time goes on. I thought the segment about the boy that lived in the shelter in the bronx was so emotional and you can the family bond between the two brothers. What do you think? ...

I'm not an American Idol fan, but this cracked me up. The look on Edna's face when Simon was laughing was a hoot! And then what she did afterwards. Just thought it was funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yixDe8PZDj8&feature=related ...

I say every year I am not going to be caught up in the moment and here I go again. Last night's show was really good as far as the talent and tonight is turning out to be some of the same. What was the guy's name, Tyler, last night that sang "Let's Get it On", oh my, my! Guess I am hooked again. ...

I think the guys are much stronger this year. I think Scotty probably is already on his way no matter. I like Paul McDonald a lot, too. I could be his mama but he's a cutie and I love that voice. ...

This show and judges are such a bore now. The judges say the same predictable stuff. Its nothing without Simon. ...and they love James Durbin, but when he screams that high note, its horrible... horrible. My friend who teaches music noticed this too. Listening to him on a CD would be painful. Why cant people just sing well and that be good enough? Its all about theatrics, screaming, being different, etc. I used to love watching Idol. I am don ...

This is hysterical. This man audtioned in Atlanta -- he's gonna be a star!! http://idolblips.showhype.com/video/pants-on-the-ground-american-idol-season-9-larry-platt/ ...

Nobody deserved to win... and no.. not even James. He could not carry a tune. Lauren is a good singer, but really, if anyone has watched the show "The Voice", almost every contestant on there was better than anyone on idol this year. The judges are a total joke, lame, lame, lame. I used to love this show, but since Simon has left, its a big bore. Also, the voting system is not legit. Nobody should be able to vote over and over and over. This show is nothing but a bi ...

the people who hold them are getting wage cuts instead of increases. We're ALL in trouble. From the Washington Post: "The stagnation of wages has become an accepted fact across the political spectrum; conservative columnists such as Michael Gerson and David Brooks have acknowledged that workers’ incomes seem to be stuck." "Defenders of right-to-work laws argue that they improve a state’s economy by creating more jobs. But an exhaustive study by economist Lo ...

Please see link. I could not even finish reading this whole article right now it made me so sick. Just for your information. ...

I wonder if the greedy suits in the medical transcription industry will take heed. ...

For those of you that have your nails done at a salon, Is your manicurists American? All the salons in my area & surrounding areas seem to be Korean. Now I don't have a problem with that except for the fact that most don't speak English. Whatever happened to Americans doing nails. It's really hard to communicate when you aren't speaking the same language. ...

And is sometimes or all the time? My cheap one was ruined by the wind so I should buy a new one. ...

Another international crisis . . . terrorists at it again: Fox News has confirmed that one American has died in the hostage standoff at an Algerian gas complex. Officials told the Associated Press the deceased American is Texas resident, Frederick Buttaccio. It is unclear how he died. Earlier Friday, the State Department confirmed there are still American hostages being held by an Al Qaeda-linked group at the gas plant, deep in the Saharan desert. When asked about a report that the grou ...

Robert Reich's status. January 19 People ask me all the time why we don't have a revolution in America, or at least a major wave of reform similar to that of the Progressive Era or the New Deal or the Great Society -- given that middle incomes are sinking, the ranks of the poor are swelling, and almost all the economic gains are going to the top. The answer is complex, but three reasons stand out: (1) The working class is paralyzed with fear it will lose the jobs and w ...

I have started collecting American Girl dolls and outfits for my granddaughter who just adores these dolls, the books and the outfits since she got one of the dolls as a gift. Anyone who wants to sell their American Girl things, please contact me. I am trying to put together a complete collection for her. Thanks! ...

There are some here who need to provide some facts instead of rhetoric. Here is the source "straight from the horses mouth." This is to be presented to Congress today. http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/09/08/fact-sheet-american-jobs-act Many of the proposals will favor the retention of jobs in the United States rather than the offshore outsourcing. As I am sure everyone remembers, Democrats tried to propose anti-offshore legislation between June 2010 through September 20 ...

I plan to give this a try the next time this happens to me. If anyone has heard of this before and tried it, did it work?

By Jes Alexander on June 21, 2010 WASHINGTON, DC (Herald de Paris) - So much of the handling of this BP Oil Disaster (a name for this mess we are advocating as it does not downgrade the situation, since IT’S NOT A SPILL) has been left to BP, out of the hands of the international science community and away from US federal agencies, I thought I might remind you all of what might happen if this hemorrhaging of crude oil is allowed to continue much longer: Think Gulf Stream. Called ...

Hillary Clinton will follow suit. Here’s a recent snapshot of just how depraved things have become (as if we need more examples). The AP recently reported on a four-hour rampage of violence directed against Americans (and others) in South Sudan when Sudanese troops attacked a residential compound last month. The soldier pointed his AK-47 at the female aid worker and gave her a choice. “Either you have sex with me, or we make every man here rape you and then we shoot you in the head,� ...
