The crop of girls really isnt standing out to me either. I thought Alexanderia was prettty. I really liked how she did her hair last night. She just looked like a fun loving girl.

Then I kept the station on and that Dont forget the Lyrics was on.....that girl annoyed the crap out of me...what a show-off!

Jason Yeager, Robbie Carrico, Alexandrea Lushington, and Alaina Whitaker are out.

I feel bed for Jason, I think he really tried.

IMO Alexandrea had a really good voice, I think the song choice was the reason she is going home.

I think so too, Julie. I feel bad for Jason too.

You know, I couldn't put my finger on it until I read this. Robbie was not my favoUrite. I thought he sang well but I just wasn't sure what it was about him. Now I think, maybe I wasn't buying into the Rocker Act . . . long hair and a bandana by itself does not a rocker make. Maybe the rocker voters sensed the discrepancy. I did like him better than Luke.

I wasn't buying it either.

I purposely turned that off, lol. I could tell that she would get on my nerves. I normally like that show though. It's fun for us to play at home. :D

We usually watch it too, but she was nuts, every time she said lock in my vote she did this dance, after every time she won she would do a different dance. When she sang the lyrics and filled in the blanks, she kept going till the end of the song. What bothered me the most......she acted like a loud rapper!

Internet rumors are flying that he was even wearing a wig :lol:

He could sing, but his attitude kind of bothered me. I am all for the contestants giving it back to Simon :lol: , but when he said "this is me, deal with it", it kind of came off to me as arrogance.

I think maybe he thought he could use his talent and past experince and win no matter what style of singer he was posing as.

So, what did everyone think of the guys last night? I took a trip through memory lane. :D I was in high school in the 80's, so had a memory of most of the songs they sang last night. I about fell off my couch when Paula told the first guy that she was glad he wasn't wearing Dolphin shorts to sing that Wham! song. :D:D I really do not like that Danny guy. He bugs me with his goofy hair and wierd way he moves.

Can't stand Danny. He is by far my least favoUrite contestant. Hope he is voted off.

I also don't care for Luke. I think he is skating by on his good looks but he is the weakest (male) singer left and I hope he gets the boot, too.

David Cook moved up on my list. I thought he gave the best performance last night. I always assume that the judges will bash whoever I like but they loved him, too!!!

I thought everyone did pretty good last night.

David Cook really stood out the most for me, what he did with Lionel Richie's song was amazing.

None of the girls are really standing out for me.

I did like Amanda's performance though.

Carly has my vote for top female.

I think it's time for Kady to go . . . not sure about the second . . . Kristy or Ramiele.

I did like Amanda's performance and I liked Carly but the others all just blurred together. I think it is going to be the guys year.

I thought overall almost everyone did better this week, with a couple of exceptions. I think Amanda did way better this week. But I also agree that there are only a couple of standouts.

I agree with Danny...I'm not fond of him, lol.

It will be interesting to see who goes this week. I think Kadi(sp?) will go for the girls, but not sure who else.

Amanda looks much better when her blonde hair is not showing too....it makes her look a little scary.

Ramiele kind of annoys me too but I am not sure why....

I am hoping for the guys it's Luke and Danny that go. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that I like the other 6 guys too much :lol:

Out of the girls I have no idea who will go, I agree with you Amanda outside of Amanda and Carly the rest of them just kind of blurred together. I think song selection hurt them because they obviously all can sing pretty well.

I agree. Definitely Kadi's time to go. I don't know who else for the girls, though.

I, obviously, want Danny to go. Who's Luke? I guess I missed him.

He sang the Wham! song and was the first to sing on Tuesday.

Here's my take on Danny . . . he acts/speaks/has an attitude like a drag queen. Now, don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed drag queen performers, but part of the entertainment is the over-the-top costuming/make-up/hair. If he's going to act like a drag queen then I want the complete package!!! :lol::lol: . . . ohhhh, just had a thought . . . perhaps American Idol won't let him.

What I am affraid is going to happen, possibly, is Danny will be kept on for the shock factor to keep us talking, kind of like the "Sanjaya" of this season....which means someone truly talented will be kicked off like Michael Johns :(

I don't think it would be Michael Johns . . . he's not close enough to the "bottom". Probably Jason, who I really like, but he's a little different and I can see him not having enough supporters.

I just went over to the "vote for the worst" site just to see who they were promoting and it was Danny and Amanda. So those two will be getting lots of votes that they normall wouldn't. I'm a little surprised that they think Amanda is the worst though. :P

Actually, I'm not an Amanda fan :ph34r::ph34r: but I don't think she deserves the "vote for the worst" nomination. I think she should be in the top 12 but after Carly the rest are just the rest.

I hope it's not Michael Johns, he's lovely to look at. Mango and I would be devastated :lol:

Jason Castro though has a lot of youg girls crushing on him, I read the AI boards :rolleyes::lol:

I don't know if I am an Amanda fan either per se, she just has a really strong voice and makes an impression/impact along with Carly.

I was so excited that Jason Castro did a Leonard Cohen song. Cohen is probably my favorite artist of all time. His rendition was amazing. I'm not a big fan of Castro, but he really did that song justice.

I was really sad to see Danny go. I guess I was the only one who liked him. I thought he was really funny and added a lot of character to the show. I definitely wasn't sad to see Kady go though. She and Luke irked me.

How about Brooke White this week? WOW!!! I definitely don't like her usually, but she absolutely blew me away this week. She and David Cook. Wow wow wow...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful.

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      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...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.
