American Idol '08

Honestly, none of the girls did 'it' for me this week. Normally, I don't care much for the guys, but love the girl's night. This year I don't have any girl I particularly like, and none of them wowed me last night, opposed to 4 guys that really wowed me.

I think from the girls I like Amanda the best, I was a little worried after her last performance last week, but she totally rocked it out this week and her hair looked a lot better this week. She took Simons advice.

I was wondering about Paula also, I haven't watched this since season 1 since I was in Portugal, but it seems like she can't put together a sentence. I think Brooke is nice too, but I would like to see a rocker win this one. And honestly I think one of the guys will probably win.

Lets see who gets cut tonight!

Soooooo, what did you guys think about the elimination?

I think America got it right. I wasn't surprised by the 2 guys that were sent home. I was a little surprised by the girls. I kinda figured Kady was going, but it was really a toss up between Kristy and Asiah. I did feel bad for Asiah because I thought she did really good and I feel bad about what she's been through, just losing her father.

I was sad to Asiah go. And, I am going to miss Danny and his flippant attitude! He was really quite entertaining. I wasn't surprised about the other guy, though. In the words of Simon, "he is forgettable" and really couldn't hold a candle to the rest of the guys. I never cared for Kady either, she had kind of a snotty attitude I thought.

I was shocked Danny was sent home. I haven't liked his singing till this week, and I was wow'd by how he sang tainted love (he does move weird though!). The first guy who sang this week, I don't even know who he is, I don't recognize him everytime he starts.. I am surprised he didn't go home!!

I wasn't surprised by the Queen singer going, his voice is limited, although I thought he sounded awesome singing Queen Killer!!

The girls have been very forgettable to me, so I don't remember who is who to know if who went home were any good or not.. I guess I'm just surprised elvira is still there.

Georgia you are so right!

I actually agreed all the way around with the eliminiations last night. Did you?

I really find Luke attractive and if he had the right song, I'd love his singing, but he was not the best singer and the other guy has a good voice, but his stage presence was lacking.

Both of the girls that were elminated have good voices, but their performances and stage presence were lacking too. I think we have the best group of final 12 that they've ever had.

Unlike some people here, I don't think that the guys are a lot better than the girls. I think they're pretty even at this point. Now things are going to get fun!

Yes, I agree too! America definitely had it right with the guys and I think they got it right with the girls. I thought Asiah and Kristy were pretty close to being even, so IMO, it could have been either one of them. Kady definitely needed to go. Was it just me, or did her whole song sound out of tune? I didn't like it at all.

I think the guys and the girls are pretty equal too, it could be that we are just used to the girls having more talent, from previous years, and now we finally have a lot of majorly talented guys this year. I think we're just not used to the guys being as good.

I really like Jason Castro, David Cook, Brooke White, and Amanda. Even though Brooke and Amanda are total opposites, I like them both, very unique.

I was sorry to see Asiah and Danny go. I really thought Asiah was good, Danny wasn't the best but he had the personality. I agree with Georgia that I love Jason, David Cook, Amanda, and Brook. I also like Michael as well. It's going to be a good battle. I can't wait.

I adore Jason C. My favorite was the Daydream song he sang on the first show...I downloaded it from iTunes. What a fantastic voice!!!

I agree, when he did his rendition of "Daydreams" it was amazing!

Syesha is really the only girl I like.

David Archuleta is going to win it all. I hope. :smile2: I really like the other David, too. And Chikezie.

Boy you're right: Brooke and Carly couldn't be more different and they're both really good!

I have a feeling that David A.'s sweet, coy little boy persona is going to get a little tiresome. His voice is awesome but he sounds a little hoarse when he talks so I'm wondering if he's going to run out of gas somewhere along the line.

Did anyone else notice the Aussie's sweat last week?

I did notice, and I wondered if he had the flu or something. No one seems to be able to escape that crap this year.

I'm surprised that you thought Aisa'h's stage presence was lacking. I thought she was the most personable of the lot. I can't believe she went instead of Kristy Lee. Other than that, I agree with all the other three eliminations. Kady has a good voice, but song choice did her in. Danny's attitude did him in and I wasn't impressed with his version of Tainted Love and Luke was all looks, but his voice did not compare to the remaining singers.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
