:P Very nice! I see that the vote for the worst people are encouraged to vote for Phil this week...if he continues like last week that wouldn't be the worst that could happen, lol.

Self evaluations... Ugh... Just say you kick butt and leave it at that... Think they'd accept that???

Phil's definitely getting better again. I can't imagine he'll make it into the top 3 though. He's just not as good as the others. I really really really hope that Chris goes this week. I don't think I can stand another week of his nasal nonsense. It drives me batty!

Phil was good in the beginning, we sang that Edwin Mcain song and I enjoyed it. Chris really bores me. John likes him, but John seems to be liking the underdogs....to each their own I guess :)

Who do you think will be in the top three?

I'm guessing:

Melinda

Jordin

Phil

I didn't put Blake in there because I believe with the VFTW votes, (and Blake has already been in the bottom three! :( ) he'll be voted out. I keep hoping for a miracle and Melinda will be voted off. She doesn't need American Idol. Apparently, she's the greatest singer in the known universe and she'll get a record deal no matter what at this point... so why not let her get voted off?

:o:blink::rolleyes: No stinking way! Seriously, he got a record deal?!?! That really cracks me up!!

Angie ~ I'm with you....Chris's time is up, but Phil better be right behind him.

And, hey, I love the new avatar and the Marcia Brady voice! :P

Amanda ~ good luck getting your self evaluation done. Those are hard!!

I have to work tonight so TIVO better not screw up!!

:lol: Yep, me too, but I bet they can make him sound a whole lot better with all the electronic gizmos they have these days...kind of the electronic version of airbrushing. :lol:

I am not sure who signed him, but my mom said he and Donny Osmond were signing at the white house. You are right he can get his voice gizmoed and sound out of this world. What will he do when he goes on tour though?

Portable gizmos, lol? :unsure::lol: Actually, his concerts would probably be filled with screaming teenage girls who wouldn't be listening anyway. :lol:

I actually thought Sanjaya had a very nice voice, just way too quiet and unconfident. Plus, he was a horrible performer. His voice though, especially for a recording studio, would be great. I'd be willing to bet his first album will do very well. Plus, the record companies would have to be a fool not to snatch him up with all the controversy surrounding him. It won't just end now that he got voted off of Idol. He will probably do very well in the business. I think he's the only one who I never thought sang off key once throughout the entire competition. He just doesn't project at all. I think after making the record and meeting with hundreds of coaches, he will come out of his shell.

I'm totally with you guys on Chris. He's gotta go. And with Phil right in his footsteps hopefully. The two of them just aren't good enough at this point. I think Jordin is just getting better and better each week and Blake and Melinda are already amazing. That leaves just Lakisha, Phil, or Chris to get voted off this week. I'm crossing my fingers that it's Chris, but I think realistically it may be LaKisha that leaves next.

After last nights perfomance I have no idea who I want gone. I do think lakisha did an bad job on her song, only fantasia can do that song justice. I think jordin was amazing. Blake wasnt that great but he there was not much he could of done to that song anyway. It did give me goosebumps tho.

I actually even voted last night, well when i could get threw.

I didn't see it last night, I had a bit of an emergency situation with a neighbor and by the time that was all settled and done it was almost 9 so I missed the whole show.

My mom said Phil did real well.

Phil did do an awesome job, I got goosebumps from his song also. I just wish they would lessen his eyebrows or dye them lighter, i think that would make him look better and not so scary looking at times lol

I actually didn't really care for Phil's performance, though much better than some other weeks. I think LaKisha may go this week... She really just isn't cutting it anymore. I actually think that Jordin may pull off the win this year! She's definitely coming from the underdog position, but I think she may pull it off. She went from mediocre to excellent and that's what America loves to see. Plus, she's young, adorable, and funny. Unless Blake really steps up his game, he'll be voted out first from the top 3. :(

Amanda, Blake sang John Lennon's Imagine. It was good, but not amazing. LaKisha sang I Believe by Fantasia and it just didn't sit well with the judges. Phil sang a Garth Brooks song, can't remember which one, but the judges gave him rave reviews. I didn't really like it, he had a strange tone to his voice. I don't know what Chris sang, but he finally overcame the nasal thing and sang in his real voice. It wasn't bad, it didn't annoy me. I can't remember what Jordin sang either, but WOW! That girl is just phenomenal. She sang one of those songs that build up into a phenomenal end and she did really well with it. Oh, and Simon told Chris he was sexy. HA! Oh, and some company pledged 10 cents for every vote up until they reached $5 million!

Chris sang a song by James Taylor I think...

I think Jordin is a shoe in! My husband has been saying since week 3 that she's going to win...

I didn't get to watch last night, had to go to a baby shower, but my bf recorded it so this afternoon we will watch it. As much as I like Blake and want to see him win I don't think he will, but I bet he gets a recording contract. Does anyone else think he kinda looks like a good looking Elmer Fud?

Chris's song was by Eric Clapton. I have that song by him on my ipod.

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      yes i do take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.
