The American Idol Thread...2008

My faves tonight were David Cook (not such a surprise) and Carly. Andrew Lloyd Weber songs need big powerful voices and these two definitely delivered imo.

I liked Syesha, Jason, and Brooke but I wish they would have kicked it up a notch or two.

No clue who will be going home tomorrow, maybe Jason or Brooke :huh:

Totally missed last night's performance so I had to go watch them on youtube. I absolutely loved Syesha this week. Probably my favourite performance. I think Broadway is her thing. I also liked Carly this week.

I predict Jason and Brooke in the bottom three but I'm not sure who to put in there with them. I think Brooke is going home. She's already done that start and stop thing once . . . twice is pretty bad.

I think its going to be Brooke tonight. Though, she is votefortheworst.com's pick, so maybe she'll stick around. I really, really, really hope Jason doesn't go home because of last night.

I really liked Sayesha last night. I cringed during Jason's song because I knew the judges wouldn't like it, but I really didn't think it was quite as bad as they made it sound, lol.

Yeah, I think Brooke has lost something. She had something in the beginning that seems to be gone now and I can't put my finger on it.

I know what you mean . . . I really liked her . . . but now that the big whiners are gone, she has stepped in - not so much as whining but the pouty face thing is annoying me . . . and she was in my top three!!!

I don't even have a top three anymore. I like David Cook and the rest of them just kind of go up and down. I think the two Davids have been the most consistent. However, I'm not a David Archuleta fan and I think it's mostly his maturity level. Since he's only 17, he's allowed to be immature, I just don't care for his goofiness (I must be old!!).

I felt the same way about Jason last night, I was looking away when the judges gave their comments.

While I didn't think he had a strong enough voice to carry that song, I still thought it was good, not at all as bad as they perceived it to be though.

About Brooke, I think she has let the judging aspect of the competition mess with her head. The last what, 3 or 4 weeks she has just been totally rattled, very unsure of herself. She also started over with one of the Beetles songs. it's too bad she wasn't able to put that aside because I really do believe she could have been a contender!!!!

:lol:

I don't either, have a top 3 that is. I have a top 1, David Cook. The rest for me, go up and down like you said.

I lost that loving feeling for David Archuletta several weeks ago, I mean he's a cutie and he can sing very well, but he isn't exactly an idol for my age group/demographic :lol:

I do think it will be David and David in the top two.....I can't see Syesha or Jason being there, Brooke could have been, see above :lol:

I'm a big David Cook fan. I've never really liked David Archuleta. I know he's only 17, but he looks just too young to be an American Idol.

I think it's Brooke's time to go home. I liked her in the beginning, but now it seems like she lost her spark.

Yeah, that's it...the spark. Her eyes are different...it's like she is just tired of it all...kind of like she's given up or something.

Me too!

I can't predict who gets the boot, too many twists and turns. Never would I have thought Carly tonight.

Glad things went your way Angie :lol:

Guhlia Rising Star

Really I'm just glad David Cook and Jason are still there. After Daughtry got the boot last year, I'm nervous. Though, I have to admit, Cook probably wouldn't sound great singing whatever their songwriter's song will be this year just as Blake didn't last year. I think that for Cook's career it would probably be best to NOT win.

Who do you guys think the top 3 will end up being? I'm betting on Jason, David Cook, and Brooke. I'm not sure why, but I think Archuleta will go before then. Who knows though.

That's a very good point......

Meant to mention much earlier about those group numbers they do, sometimes they are really painful to watch.....Jason Castro looks like he is just miserable :lol:

Just when I have given up on predictions, I'm pulled back in :lol::P I really think it will be the two David's (Archuletta seems to have won over the very young-young ladies) and Brooke (or possibly Syesha?)

Cheri A Contributor

I'm glad it went your way, Angie. :)

We didn't watch again this week. It's "Turn Off The Screens" week at my kids school and I didn't tivo. Really, I didn't miss it. I'm not sure if I'll keep watching or not. Just not into it now at all. Maybe I'll watch the finals.

:lol: :lol:

I thought it would be Brooke.....she seemed pretty lackluster the other night...

I'm just so disinterested since Michael Johns got voted off. who cares any more? :huh:

I'm still in shock that Blake did so well last year. Did he actually WIN? I didn't really watch last season at all.....but every time I see little Blake and his beat-boxing mouth I just can't believe it.......

:lol:

p.s. David Cook should win at this point.....but I just want to point something out - - his "cool" hair is really just the beginnings of a comb-over, my friends....... :ph34r::lol:

No, Blake didn't win last year, Jordin Sparks did. (Poor Jordin). I was a BIG Blake Lewis fan and I was very glad he didn't win after they unveiled the songwriter's song. It was cheesy and weird.

Blake didn't stand a chance with that song. So, do you think they pick the song to showcase the singer that they (American Idol producers) want to win. I know it's suppose to be voted on . . . but how easy would that be to "fix".

Didn't somebody call it 'spit-boxing' at the beginning of the thread? He was so annoying.... The only interesting thing he did was with Bon Jovi.

I felt the same way last year when Melinda was voted off in favor of that little twit Blake. Hello? Has everyone in America had their good taste ripped bodily away? WHAT is so appealing about that guy? I did like Jordin though, she's a good singer.

Green12 Enthusiast

I don't understand some of the song selections for Neil Diamond night :blink:

David Cook again imo rose to the ocasion, David Archuleta was a close second for me.

I think Brooke, Jason Castro (sorry Angie :o ), and Syesha are on the chopping block tomorrow night.

Guhlia Rising Star

I think you're right. I definitely think Jason is in trouble after last night (though I have to admit I loved his second song minus the pitchiness in a few spots). Cook BROUGHT IT! Anyone know what the AC on his guitar and jacket stood for? I'm getting more and more annoyed by Archuleta and I'm not sure why. He just irks me now. Maybe its hormonal. lol. Talk about bombing... Brooke was really bad in her first song last night!

dlp252 Apprentice

Yeah, I think I've lost interest, lol! I did watch part of Jason's first song...but,

I've been watching the most weird shows you can imagine, lol. An episode of Ultimate Coyote Search that I've seen 4 times already was on and well, that won over AI. :lol: :lol: :ph34r:

At this point though, I think they all have their good points and all have their bad points, so I'll just wait until it's narrowed down to the final three or so. :P

I believe the AC on his guitar stands for Adam Cook, his brother who has cancer. There was a small article in People magazine about it. I SO love David Cook, I thought he was great last night. I am usually a big Brooke fan, but I couldn't even finish watching her sing that first song. It was terrible, but the second time around she did better. I don't think she'll last much longer though.

:lol: Donna

I've lost interest too, I wasn't paying 100% attention to last night's show. It was more like background music and if one of them was sounding good then i would look up and watch <_<

The thing David Cook has done all season is take the songs and put his own spin on them, making them different and current. Even if he doesn't win I think he will be succesful.

I didn't notice the AC on his guitar and clothes, that's neat he honors his brother.

Oh Brooke, I don't know what has happened to her. I'm A Believer was almost painful to watch :(

Green12 Enthusiast

I didn't even watch last night, but I saw on my home page that Brooke was the one to go.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
