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.

I am glad to see I am not the only one who was annoyed by Taylor Hicks.

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.

Cheri A Contributor

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!

bluejeangirl Contributor

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.

confused Community Regular

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.

Guhlia Rising Star

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!

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

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.

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

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.

confused Community Regular

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

paula

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

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.

confused Community Regular

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

paula

Guhlia Rising Star

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!

confused Community Regular

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

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too.  I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't  wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience.  They take you seriously and they check everything.  I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.
