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 :(

Yeah, that thought crossed my mind as I watched the men the other night. :(

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

Like you, that does surprise me about Amanda though.

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...

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
