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!

Yay! It's time for Idol again!! :D

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....

oh i agree melinda was awful, did anything come of her or sanjaya?

Gina was awesome all around her music and her attitude.

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

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
