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...

      My daughter also has it, and it's much better to discover it early. What was the positive level for her test?

In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children!

      I have increased my vitamin intake Vitamin B Complex plus 2 Thiamax, NeuroMag, Benfotiamine with breakfast. I continue reading and watching gluten free items that I eat. Breakfast is Bobs Redmill gluten-free oatmeal with Chobani zero sugar yogurt a banana and blueberries. Lunch since im at a deli gluten-free is hard to come by so I stick with turkey with gluten-free Promise bread. Dinner varies like gluten-free pasta, tacos, chicken, sausage, meat etc. rice or take out from gluten-free places. I have decided to stay away from gluten-free pizza as I feel I felt weird with it unless its store bought frozen. I am going to try to make my own gluten-free bread, Bagels. I have been good with baking gluten-free treats like cookies, muffins. Snacks if its not fruit, veggies I grab a protein bar or chocolate guilty pleasure reeses, hersheys, York PP. I am going to start to use my fitness pal app to track what I eat and note when I feel off to see if I can pinpoint if a trend of a certain gluten-free food is a culprit. I noticed once in a while I feel a little bloated, gassy that I think is from the pizza so I am going to avoid it and continue narrowing it down. I have been doing very well and I have learned even if you think you are doing everything 100% gluten-free eating it can sneak in without you knowing. This year is more traveling which im afraid of but have already looked into gluten-free places in Nashville which they have and back to Aruba I went last year and have the gluten-free places already selected. Most restaurants I have been to have been very helpful with what to stay away from to avoid CC. If a place states they don't have any gluten-free the I stick with a salad or when I took my kids to breakfast as much as I miss the breakfast this place serves I played it safe with yogurt and a fruit bowl so at least my kids were happy to go there again. Local farmers market has great gluten-free items that I treat myself to like different types of breads, baked goods. My journey continues...
