Wow, was Sanjaya scarey or what, lol. :lol: I couldn't even watch again...the hair and the song just didn't go together. :lol:

Overall I thought everyone was pretty good. I think I don't like Chris S's attitude (although it was a bit better last night).

Even Ryan questioned whether Melinda could still be surprised by the judge's good comments, lol. :lol: She's good though.

My favorites so far are Gina and Blake I think.

I understand Sanjaya had to come out of his shell to start getting people to remember his performances, let's face it he was too quiet and too boring....but I think he is going about it the wrong way. We should remember his singing not his scary hair. The boy needs to go home!

I liked Phil last night :blink:. I never would have thought it possible :huh:

:P ugh sanjiya where to start, he is awful! i am a huge no doubt/gwen stefanni fan and he butchered that song, he never should have made it to the top 12, but thats what happens when you give a 15 year old a cell phone and internet account! LOVE LaKisha, Melinda they are in a class of their own! thankfully their were no "but you look faboulous" comments from paula.

look foward to seeing whos going home tonight and gwen is performing so that should be good!

Well, Sanjaya is sticking around.

I was surprised he was not even in the bottom 3.

Last night was weird. I was actually surprised that Phil was in the bottom 3 after his performance Tuesday. I guess America really doesn't like him. I'm kind of glad to see Chris S. gone. He was one of my favorites in the beginning, but he's been getting on my nerves lately. Now... When will Sanjaya finally get booted?

Jo.R Contributor

Wow, I can't believe the kid is still there. I was a Chris S. fan, but he lost his edge, and got an attitude. I haven't been disappointed by anyone who went home, just surprised by who has stayed. I kinda feel bad for the kid. I read somewhere that he knows he should go home and how the adult America feels, and wishes he'd get voted off. I do give him credit for smiling through it all. He's not a seasoned performer, and only 17, and he is taking the criticism well. But he still needs to go.

I think Lakisha has an amazing voice, but she is so boring and picks the most boring songs, I end up flipping during her performance (and a few others). Did you know PBS has a good documenter on pearls :P

I liked Phil in the begining and then he started to bore me but the last two weeks he has been back on game and I too was surprised he was on bottom. The show is getting weird. I only 1/2 paid attention last night.

I only paid half attention to, i ws busy cleaning my boys room lol. I was happy to see chris go home, but i think sanjaya needed to be in the bottom 3, not phil passed on this weeks shows. I would have been happy if haley went home to, but they will keep her for little teen age boys have someone to vote for, or should i say any man lol.

OK, finally watched the shows...

:o Sanjaya's hair was something else! I was cracking up at Ryan coming out "Sanjaya'd" :lol:

I just simply cannot believe that he is still around. Maybe they need to change things up a bit next season and let the judges really "judge" and let America vote for the top 3 and winner or something.

I thought Jordin did a pretty good job on her song, even though her outfit was awful! Haley is just forgettable to me. I really think I am liking Blake better and better out of the guys. I also think that Gina is my favorite girl right now. I'm getting tired of Melinda and LaKisha.

I'm ok with Chris S. going home, although I wish it had been Phil or Haley instead. But, their time will come. Chris really butchered a great song!

It's Idol Night!!!!!

Guhlia Rising Star

Woo-Hoo!!!

Guhlia Rising Star

Oh my gosh, Melinda was AWESOME!!! I think that was probably my favorite performance of the whole season so far! Even better than some of Blake's!!! Gina was totally awesome too. I really wish Chris R. would go home. I think I'd almost rather sit through Sanjaya at this point. He just bores me to tears. Jordin was awesome too tonight.

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

I cannot get over Simon telling Haley he liked her legs!

I was expecting Sanjaya to have blue hair or something else strange this week but he looked normal.

Gina sang a good song and I liked Blake.

Melinda was good, I am getting annoyed by her act when someone compliments her.

Chris R is not one of my favorites, and at first I liked him but lately he is boring. I liked Jordin tonight too and she looked a lot better than last week.

I just wanted to say that I am Sundance's Aunt and he is doing great he just got back from Hollwood he is signing with Universal records so he will be having a celiac disease out soon . I gave him a party on saturday and about 200 hundred people was at my house it was wild we had a great time. He sign autographs for all the kids with his picture. A 13 year old came all the way from Tenn he gave her his favorite hat that he wears fishing and sign it and gave her a demo celiac disease and a big kiss I thought she was going to pass out it was neat to watch she was so thank full he even gave her his phone # I will let everyone know when his celiac disease comes out. I told him when It does I will give him another party.

How fun to hear about Sundance! How exciting that he's signing a recording contract! And how funny that C D automatically turns to celiac disease. We all know what you mean. Thanks for the update.

Guhlia Rising Star

Oh my gosh, Betty, I soooooo would have come from PA to meet Sundance!!! He was one of my favorites on the show since the auditions! I'll be buying his c.d. as soon as it comes out! :)

votefortheworst.com is behind this one, and thanks to a mention on Howard Stern's radio show, they have a LOT more publicity this year than in the last couple of years. :\

I was a little bored last night again, when they do these kind of songs I find it hard to sit and watch. I enjoyed British Invasion and Pop Week. Hopefully next week will be a little more fun.

confused Community Regular

Well i missed the first few, i was at my kids soccer practice. But I did see from chris down while i was helping with homework. I did like jordin's, I so agree with what the judges were saying with haley, they know her body is what is getting her threw every week. I was also laughing at the comments about sanjaya, you can tell they have no idea why he stays so they figured to say he was awesome to hope they vote him out, it was nice tho that he looked normal for once. I missed melindas, but im glad i did, she just bugs me too much anymore. I think lakisha did a great job, and i think gina was awesome, it was nice to see that side of her, but i love her more when she the gina we all love.

I dont even want to say who i think will be gone, cause im learning the ones i want gone will never leave lol

I don't know, I thought Sanjaya looked a bit like Prince gone wrong. :lol:

I think I know why Simon said that to Haley, but it was still odd. I think he said that to say something nice because he didn't have anything else to say.

I also thought Melinda looked a little less surprised at the compliments...I hope that trend continues, lol.

Performance wise...I think I still liked Gina, but most of the others were good too.

Jo.R Contributor

I had a meeting last night and missed the show. Last year that would bug me, this year, I don't care. It had been too boring. I'm a little sorry I missed Blake and Gina.

I was listening to a radio show and they were talking about a poll People (I think that was the magazine) did. The readers voted and it predicted Blake the winner and Sanjaya second. I cannot stand the idea of Gina going before Sanjaya.

      Certainly, it would b wise to have a gene test done if your physician is open to it as it would provide some more data to understand what's going on. But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.

      Had Quaker gluten-free oatmeal last night and my stomach is a mess today. NO flu but def stomach stuff. Anyone else?
    • Roses8721
      So you would be good with the diagnosis and not worry to check genetics etc etc? Appreciate your words!

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover from such a challenge, so why do this if you already know that gluten is the culprit and you won't be eating it anyway?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS--but those in this group will usually have negative tests, or at best, elevated antibodies that don't reach the level of official positive. Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score.  Many biopsy results can also be borderline, where there may be certain damage that could be associated with celiac disease, but it just doesn't quite reach the level necessary to make a formal diagnosis. The same is true for blood test results. Over the last 10 years or so a new "Weak Positive" range has been created by many labs for antibody results, which can simply lead to confusion (some doctors apparently believe that this means the patient can decide if they want more testing or to go gluten-free). There is no "Weak Negative" category, for example. Many patients are not told to eat gluten daily, lots of it, for the 6-8 week period leading up to their blood test, nor asked whether or not they've been eating gluten. Some patients even report to their doctors that they've been gluten-free for weeks or months before their blood tests, yet their doctors incorrectly say nothing to them about how this can affect their test, and create false negative results. Many people are not routinely given a total IGA blood test when doing a blood screening, which can lead to false negative interpretations if the patient has low IGA. We've seen on this forum many times that some doctors who are not fully up on how interpret the blood test results can tell patients that the don't need to follow a gluten-free diet or get more testing because only 1 of the 2 or 3 tests done in their panel is positive (wrong!), and the other 1 or 2 tests are negative.  Dermatologists often don't know how to do a proper skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis, and when they do it wrongly their patient will continue to suffer with terrible DH itching, and all the risks associated with celiac disease. For many, the DH rash is the only presentation of celiac disease. These patients may end up on strong prescriptions for life to control their itching which also may have many negative side effects, for example Dapsone. Unfortunately many people will continue to suffer needlessly and eat gluten due to these errors in performing or interpreting celiac disease tests, but luckily some will find out about non-celiac gluten sensitivity on their own and go gluten-free and recover from their symptoms. Consider yourself lucky if you've figured out that gluten is the source of your health issues, and you've gone gluten-free, because many people will never figure this out.
