Lakisha looked awful in that outfit in the American Idol video for Ford last night, it made her look twice as big. I felt bad for her.

The only season I watched regularly was season 2 I think....I like Reuben the best throughout that year. I also liked Clay, but he was a little too show biz for me. I'm glad he's doing well, and actually I hear more about him than I do Reuben, lol. :lol:

For those of you who watched previous years...

Who were your favorites?

Who were the guys/girls that you just couldn't stand?

I never watched AI much until the a couple of season ago. I always got bored, but then came the rockers. It didn't take long before I got sick of Constantine but I enjoyed Bo. Last year I loved Chris D. (He was robbed!). Blake is the only reason I watched this year. I didn't like Kellie Pickler (please, the dumb act got old), or Katharine Mcphee. Do you all remember Scott Sovol, he crepped me out.

My favorites that didn't win were Tamyra Gray ( I think she was in the first season) remember everyone was shocked she was voted off. It made me so mad and realized you can't take your vote for granted and not vote for someone just because you think their safe.

Also someone who very similar to Tamyra, Nadia Turner. I loved her outfits more then anyone else on the show. I think she also had a great personality. I was mad she was voted off way to soon.

I liked Constantine although I knew he wouldn't make it to the end I liked him.

I liked Bo Bice too.....I like the music style he sings. Good memories of blue grass.

So many I didn't like but can't remember the names. Like the guy that sounded like Frank Sinatra who was real pale. That girl from Hawaii, I can see their faces but don't remember the names, usually the ones that got the pity votes because they looked weird.

Trust me, you were definitely NOT the only one... Both Don and I hated him from the very beginning. He just got under our skin.

Well, this is the first season that I watched from the beginning. The last 2 seasons I didn't watch till the top 12.

I really didn't like Kelly Pickler or Taylor Hicks at all. I really can't remember before them, lol!

I'm watching the View this morning and Rosie and Elizabeth are asking to vote for Blake tonight. :lol: Apparently he's the likely one to get voted off. At this point it's going to be hard to see anyone of those left to be voted off. I'm sure I'll feel bad and frustrated. They're all good. Enjoy the show!

I am unsure who I am rooting for at this point. I might have to go with Jordin at this point. She has always been one of my favorites.

Well i voted for blake for 2 hours last night. I really want it to be down to jordin and blake, but i have a feeling it will be jordin and melinda, and if so i will vote all night for jordin next week. I so do not want melinda to win. But i do know all three will get an record deal and do great.

Aaaagggghhhhhhhhhh... We're going to Indiana for almost a week and we don't have satellite in the RV! I'm totally going to miss Idol tonight. Man, I hope somebody at the shop watches and can fill me in with who gets voted off. I won't even have internet access to check the board or anything!

The way Simon talked last night, I think Blake will go home tonight. I hope not though. I did not think it was right for him to say He wants Melinda in the final 2. How do you think Jordin and Blake felt upon hearing that.

With ya on Blake!! Love him!!!!! I think Melinda is definatly the best singer but I do want Blake and Jordin to be in the final. They are younger and have more of the american idol look I guess.

I look at who will do what in the long run, Jordin and Blake will both make appealing pop stars, Melinda is not current in her music.

I so agree. Look there are times when the ones that dont even make it to the final 3 do awesome later on. Just like now canstatine is on one of my soaps, i can look at that boy all day long lol. I will buy the music from jordin and blake no matter what, i wont buy from melinda. Im thinking she would do bettter like on broadway or something lol

I think both Jordin and Blake will appeal to a big range in their audiences, young and old alike. Melinda is more fit for the stage.

PS-I thought it was annoying she had a street named after her too.

I am in a rough mood today.

lmao, i was annoyed to, i did love jordins star in the mall tho. i think that was so cool. And i love blake got to play with that rapper(i forgot his name).

I am nervous for tonight. Even tho i know one of the 2 will go, unless everyone didnt vote for meilnda since simon said that lol

Yeah, Blake on stage with Sir Mix A Lot was awesome!!! And Jordin's star, how cool!!!

I think Blake will go tonight, but I really hope he doesn't. I would love to see Blake and Jordin in the finale. I think the two of them will be the most famous by far!!! The only other one that I think will do extremely well, and I hate to say this, but Phil with country music. I think he'll do very well in that arena. Look at how well Josh Gracin is doing and he can't even sing!!! I thought Gracin was horrible on the show, but he sounds great now (in the recording studio). I think Phil will appeal to people because he will be an edgy country star.

I will dearly miss Blake if he gets cut tonight. I may not even watch the finale next week. I love Jordin and all, but I really don't think it should come down to her and Melinda. It should be the two young ones duking it out, Jordin and Blake. Melinda is awesome, don't get me wrong, she's just not young enough... JMO...

Simon ticked me off last night with his comments toward Jordin. I think she sounded great and to say her first performance wasn't her best because he didn't like how the arrangements sounded ummmm how is she suppose to control that. Her last song was so awesome and he just slams it by saying it was an old hit, like the hit "I am woman" sung by Melinda wasn't? I hate that song BTW, uggh

I think he's wants Melinda to win and didn't give Blake or Jordin a fair chance.

Hopefully nobody was influenced by his unfair comments.

I thought the kids did their own arrangements... Don't they? I think that's what he was slamming her about, that he didn't like her arrangement of the song.

I too thought Jordin's last song was phenomenal. I'm glad she decided to do that song again. I loved it the first time she did it too. She just has such beautiful control in that song and you can really tell that she's into it when she's singing it. It's one of my favorites that she's done thus far, possibly my very favorite.

Well, off to Indiana now... Talk to you guys later!

Jordins last song gave me goosebumps, i love how she does that song.

Simon always has comments about the songs and the ages of the songs and contestants. He is just jealous that he is not young anymore lol

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
