Hi Fellow American Idol Fans!!

I decided to start this thread once again since it was very popular last season. I cannot believe it is already time to start American Idol again...

Hope this catches on like it did last year. Try-outs are being aired tomorrow night!!!!

I've been an AI fan, It's fun to watch.

I've heard rumblings it's kind of losing it's steam :o

I think they just announced recently all these former AI had been dropped from their record companies like Katherine McPhee, The Soul Patrol guy (totally blanking on his name), Fantasia, Clay Aiken, Ruben Studdard, I thought they even said Jordan was too even though she has one hit out right now. I guess they say the interest hasn't been there.

I hope this year they have some spectacular talent.

Just to clarify Clay Aiken was NOT dropped from his contract. He is currently starring on Broadway in Spamalot and working on a new album due out this summer sometime.

I do too, I don't know what happened with all the bad publicity of her last album?

The "Soul Patrol" guy was Taylor Hicks...I really liked him on the show but he kinda bombed afterwards.....my farorite is Carrie Underwood and I think Chris Doughtry is one of the best to come out of AI...and he didn't even win.

Oooh, I really like Chris Daughtry too. I also like Carrie. Kelly, Chris, and Carrie are probably my favorites.

I also liked Ruben on the show, don't know what happened to him there, post show.

And Bo, he was one of my faves on the show for his season.

I am such an AI geek. I have Bucky, Daughtry, Carrie, Kelly, and Fantasia all on c.d.. I probably have more than that and just can't think of them. Thus far Blake and Carrie have been my favorites on the show.

What is Blake doing now? I haven't heard anything about an album.

I watched an interesting show about Simon Cowell the other day. Did anyone else see it? It was all about how he brought the show over from England and they got turned down by every network they pitched it to and then some executive's daughter begged him to air it and they did and that's how Idol started. Then it went on to talk about how Simon makes a fortune on every Idol contestant's album (not just the winners). It was actually a really interesting show.

IDOL TONIGHT!!!!

*edit* I just googled blake lewis and found his site and bought his album on amazon. :) I didn't know it was out yet. YEA!!!

I like Daughtry's latest song, Over You, but the others I had not been crazy about. I hate "Going Home" song, it got overplayed when they used it on Idol.

I cannot stand Taylor Hicks, I think it is probably his looks, he just looks too old to be an AI.

Angie, I saw that (or at least part of it) special on Simon. It was very interesting!

That's very interesting about Simon. DH and I were happy that when Chris D. was sent home. We thought he'd do better for himself rather than owe his soul to AI. Carrie, Chris, and Kelly Clarkson are my favorites from AI.

I would be surprised if Idol is losing steam. They were breaking records again all last season. Blake was definitely my favorite last year. Chris Daughtry is HUGE around here, since he's local. My husband used to work with someone who lived down the street from him.

I'm looking forward to the new season, and I'm hoping they'll have a couple good rockers. I loved Gina from last year, and was bummed when she got the boot.

I too loved Gina!!! She was my favorite, I really think she will get farther away from AI too. She is very talented and is a rock chick.

I could not stand Melinda....

I hope they have some cute young guys to look at, well not like 21 but like 28 lol

Apparently all the Idol contestants are indebted to the show, or at least Simon Cowell. That's the way the Simon special made it sound anyway.

Do you guys think Simon Cowell is his real name? I mean, really... S. Cowell? Scowl? Sounds like a stage name to me. And who's Simon Fuller that's credited as the producer on Idol? Food for thought.

You know, Idol hasn't even started yet and already we have a 2 page thread and counting.

OK...easy on the too old loooking stuff...LOL. I am with you on the Melinda thing....her mannerisms drove me nuts! Simon is one of the main reasons I watch the show....his expessions are a show all in themselves. I do not like it though when he gets personal though like when he picks on somebodys weight...though I guess all of it is part of the package. I have a friend whos daughter tried out last year ...got past the first couple of stages but didn't make it far enough for TV. She has an amazing voice but did not have the "IT" thing they were looking for I guess. She did win the Idol contest that was put on at the kids high school....against about 100 people.....every little victory counts!

I have to admit, I didn't follow the last two seasons as closely as I did the prevous ones.

I am totally drawing a blank on who Melinda is :ph34r:

I also don't watch the auditioning portion, too excrutiatingly painful, so I'll probably be out of the conversation until they narrow it down to the top 12 or so :lol::lol:

I go back and forth on Simon, sometimes I think he is over the top and obnoxious, out of line even, and sometimes I think he is right on with his opinions.

She is the one who always looked TOTALLY shocked whenever the judges said something good about her. I think she toned that down in the last few shows though. :P

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
