: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.

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies, besides iron?   Celiac disease causes inflammation which results in nutritional deficiencies.   Iron needs Thiamine and the other B vitamins to make new red blood cells.   Iodine and thiamine deficiencies affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is one organ that uses lots of thiamine.   Vitamin D deficiency leads to hormonal problems, including menstrual problems.  Vitamin D needs Thiamine to activate it.   Heart palpitations and chest pain after gluten exposure can be evidence of poor digestion and a drop in available thiamine.  Consumption of any  foods high in carbohydrates can cause a drop in thiamine.  This is called high calorie malnutrition. Anxiety, numbness, tingling, acne, and brain fog are symptoms of Thiamine and the other B vitamin deficiencies.  There's eight B vitamins that all work together in concert.  They are water soluble.  They can be hard to absorb by inflamed intestines.  Vitamin A can improve acne. I suffered from all the same symptoms which only resolved with B Complex and Thiamine (in the forms TTFD and Benfotiamine) supplements, Vitamins D, A and C.  Magnesium, Thiamine and B6 Pyridoxine will get rid of the nightmares. Replenishing your vitamin and mineral stores will help heal and feel better faster.  Talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing. Think about adopting the Autoimmune Protocol diet to help with SIBO and MCAS to reduce bloating and heal the intestines. @Alibu and I were just discussing diagnosis without obvious villus damage here.   This study followed people who showed no or little villi damage at first....they accrued more damage over time. Outcomes of Seropositive Patients with Marsh 1 Histology in Clinical Practice https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4980207/ There's a move to be less reliant on endoscopy for diagnosis.

      Confused About Results

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Okay, Thank you!! I already have thyroid problems and my total iron binding capacity is high which usually means low iron but everything else was normal, lower end but “normal” my hair falls out and my nails won’t grow without breaking but nothing is being treated iron wise.  I have started having palpitations and chest pain,  both of which seem to be attributed to exposure to gluten. I’ve also been having a lot of nightmares, anxiety, numbness and tingling, brain fog, spotting between cycles and acne. Idk if all those are relatable to gluten / celiac but I’m concerned  I’ve finally tipped my body/ immune system into a bad place. Is there anyway to detox and heal faster or treat these symptoms if related to gluten ?

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Alibu, Start with this study... High-dose thiamine supplementation improves glucose tolerance in hyperglycemic individuals: a randomized, double-blind cross-over trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23715873/ "Conclusion/interpretation: Supplementation with high-dose thiamine may prevent deterioration in fasting glucose and insulin, and improve glucose tolerance in patients with hyperglycemia. High-dose thiamine supplementation may prevent or slow the progression of hyperglycemia toward diabetes mellitus in individuals with impaired glucose regulation." They used 100 mg of thiamine three times a day.  They don't say which kind of thiamine was used.  Benfotiamine is my recommendation because it has been shown to promote intestinal health and helps with leaky gut and SIBO.  Thiamine forms including Benfotiamine and TTFD are safe and nontoxic even in higher doses.   The old "gold standard" diagnosis is changing.  It must be confusing for doctors as well.  I went through all this myself, so I understand the frustration of the vagueness, but set your course and watch as your health improves. Keep us posted on your progress!   P.S. here's another link.... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39642136/

      @knitty kitty I see, thank you!!  Yes, basically the biopsy just said "normal villous architecture."  It didn't give any kind of Marsh score at all, but it sounds like it would be a 0 based on the biopsy report, which is why he's saying it's Latent or Potential celiac.  It's just weird because I know in Europe if I was a child, they wouldn't even do the biopsy, so how does this system make any sense?? I have had an A1c and it's normal.  I do know that I have insulin resistance, however, so there's that. Wow, thank you for all this information!!!  I have a lot of reading to do!

      Diagnosis confusion

      By trents · Posted

      That is one issue but the bigger issue may be the human tendency to rationalize it all away without an official diagnosis such that you keep falling off the gluten free bandwagon. But there is the option of going for the gluten challenge in a more robust way and getting retested.
