Well, I'm satisfied . . . happy even!!! I wouldn't have picked Asia'h yet but I'm very happy to see the other three go. And I will tell ya', they scared me with Michael Johns. By the time they called his name, they hadn't let go of any of the guys and they were "overdue". Yikes!!! . . . I was talking to the TV loudly (not exactly yelling) . . . Not Him!!!!

I am glad Kristy Cook is still there, I loved what she did with that Journey song. John likes Jason with the dreadlocks. I think Ramiele should have went before Asia. I liked Asia. She is very pretty too. I missed the begining with Blake singing, how was he?

Agreed!! Did you notice how upset she was that Danny was off'd? Maybe they bonded over their similar hairstyles.

I missed Blake last night, too.

The night before when she sang Danny was wearing her glasses.....that was odd. Did you see Danny crying too?

I definitely don't like Ramiele. I can't put my finger on it, but I really can't stand watching her perform. I think she should have gone home last night in stead of Asia.

Blake was eh... I'm a huge Blake Lewis fan, love his album, but it was really just mediocre I thought. He looked great though and his dancing was awesome, as usual. I thought he was really off key. I love the song he did though, one of my favorites on the album.

I was surprised that Asia was sent home. I would have preferred Ramiele to go home first too. I was glad that Kristy got to stay another week too. I liked her Journey song! I was yelling at the TV too when Michael's name was called too.

I think Ramiele is a bit of a show off and thats what I don't like. I don't think Chizney is that great either.

I wasn't able to watch the other night but I dvr'd it so I just viewed it.

Blake's new song sounds pretty good. The sound system seemed kind of off though, his mic or something, or maybe it was just me? But I was thinking it might have been a stronger overall if the sound was better.

I'm happy with the final guys. I liked Danny and Luke, but I just like the other guys better. Yay Michael Johns is still in there, I was thinking his age might not get him him the votes from the younger audience members.

The girls, I'm still eh about. I am wondering if the rest of America is confused right along with us :lol: It was kind of strange the two that were voted off.

Is everyone ready for the Top 12 tonight?

I predict Randy will say, "it was just alright for me, a little pitchy, kind of slow in the beginning, but you worked it out in the end".

And I predict Paula will say: "{insert name}, you are so {insert adjective}. You should be so {insert whatever word of the day proud/happy}". And then change her thought in mid sentence. :lol:

Don't forget, "you look so beautiful, stunning"

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:

We would have been devastated :wub::lol:

And really? (about Jason Castro). Go him! He's such a goofy, yet nice kid. I like him though (he's the one with the long dreds right? :huh: ).

I soooooo agree!!! I've never particularly liked him, but he ROCKED OUT last night!

I also loved Carly and Amanda.

Howevah...

I know there's a lot of Kristy fans out there, and normally I'm not a hater, BUT... what she did to Eight Days a Week made me throw up in my mouth. It was like a hoedown took The Beatles hostage, and then popped some speed. Seriously, I'm traumatized.

I usually like Kristy too, but not last night....you cannot put a country spin on everything!

Amanda did rock last night!

Yeah, Kristy sucked last night and I think she'll probably go home tonight because of it. I hope Chikezie keeps rockin' out southern style like that. That was really cool. I think that may have possibly been the best Idol performance ever. I think the only other one that ever blew me away like that was Constantine Mouralis' Bohemian Rhapsody.

Who do you guys think will go? I'm betting it'll either be Kristy Lee Cook or David Hernandez. Possibly Ramiele, trust me, my fingers are CROSSED!!!

I am hoping it is Ramiele...I hope Kristy just had a bad song choice.

I only saw the first hour, but I totally agree...Chikezie totally rocked. I LOVED what he did, and he looked like he was having a great time.

I don't mind Ramielle, but her song was boring...it was really pretty but I KNEW the judges would be ho-hum. :P

Didn't see Amanda or Kristie, but HOPEFULLY I've got that recorded to watch today.

Agreed . . . Chikezie's performance was one of the bests I've ever seen. I liked him OK before but he moved up my list last night. I hope it wasn't a fluke and he keeps it up. . . although, the stylists need to help him out, I don't thing the green argyle sweater vest was the thing to wear for that song.

I would prefer Ramiele to go but I don't think she will. Her singing was pretty good . . . it was just "too safe" if you know what I mean. I just don't care for her personally.

I thought the worst performance was Kristy. I think she has the best chance of going. I hated that countrified version.

David Archuleta didn't have too good of a night, did he? I don't think he'll win. He just doesn't have enough style . . . yet. Did you guys see that he is the only "teenager" left. And now that the other 6 "teens" have been eliminated, he just stands out as even younger/more immature . . . but he will probably garner all the teeny-bopper and grandmother votes.

My top four (in no particualr order) . . . Carly, Brooke, Jason and Chikezie (based on last night . . . he better keep it up, though, or I'll drop him like a hot potato!! :lol: )

Okay, so after watching my recording of the last hour of last night's performances, I want two things for next week...

I want Amanda to sing a nice bluezy ballad and Ramiele to rock out, lol. :lol:

Don't get me wrong, I like Amanda and like her style, but I'm really wanting to see something a little different from her, and I want Ramiele to break loose and really rock out, lol.

:lol: Good plan.

I wasn't able to rewatch everyone today, but from what I saw I liked Carly, Amanda, Brooke, Chikezie, Jason, David Cook, and of course Michael.

There were some strong performances last night.

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      While it's true that lifting heavy weights is a good bone builder, it may not be advisable for those with certain medical conditions like heart disease, arthritis and for the elderly or for those who don't have access to the equipment. Bone building drugs like Fosamax slow down the disposal of worn out osteoclasts (bone cells) and so help maintain/restore...

Now I know what it is I shall try to resume the healthy diet - the symptoms are annoying rather than painful, and I think it was doing me a lot of good, I certainly lost some pounds around the waistline (pity they piled back on again at Christmas!)

      Stegosaurus, One size doesn't fit all. Most celiacs do fine with oats and other non-gluten cereal grains. Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources. I don't agree with the position that all celiacs should eliminate all grains from their diet. This line of thinking has been promoted for years by books like Dangerous Grains which make the case on logic rather than actual real world data. Like many biological phenomenon, what would seem to be logical doesn't pan out to be true in the real world.  But if you are one of those in the minority of celiacs who cannot tolerate cereal grains at all, I'm glad that you were able to sort that out.
