American Idol Season 6

Yeah, I heard them say that, but I can't recall the JL version, and I just hated the song period.

Dear Mrs. tat-on-hip,
I disliked it too. Sounded like a broken record. ;-)

It was a little repetitive. I didn't care for it either. I do like some Green day songs. Glad to see Billy Joe lightened up on the eyeliner.

Ahhhhh, see...I don't even know who Billy Joe is..

Did she forget the L? I must have missed Billy Joel.

I myself like Green Day. Those African children were so cute and so happy. And those smiles. Priceless. They sang so good that night with Josh Grobin also. To be honest, they themselves are better than some of the Idol contestants. And I love Smokey Robinson. He still can sing. He definitely had a face lift of some sort. I think Blake will have more sales than Jordin. He can do so many types of music. I will buy his CD. BTW, who is Billy Joe? He wasn't the guy rapping with Blake was he?

gotcha.

My kiddos keep me up on these things..Green Day is Dylan's favorite band.

:roll:Not too different looking from "the guy rapping with Blake." Billy Joe, Doug E. Fresh, you say tomato, I say tomato.

The down side of Tivo is that I forgot to set it to run five minutes long, and so the show cut off before they announced the winner. I had to go to TVwoP to find out that Jordin had won.

Last year they had Prince, and this year Bette Midler? I guess they blew their big name guest stars budget for the Idol Gives Back show.

Smokey was awesome as was Gladys Knight, Melinda and Lakisha! I loved Blake and Jordin in the opening number too. It was very cute.

I know you dislike Sanjaya's singing but sorry guys - he stole the show. You can scream and rant all you want but he was the entertainment this season. That is why he was the ONLY one of the top 10 to get a solo other than Blake and Jordin! I believe the only one ever in the history of AI for a 7th place finisher to get a solo! I don't care if you hate him or not, he withstood intense criticism, and a lot of hate for a 17 year old young man. I think AI knows that 6 weeks after he was voted off, he is still the most talked about idol ever. Something changed tonight on the AI message boards. When Sanjaya sang with Smokey and the rest of the top 5 guys, non fans of Sanjaya started posting that WOW, you could hear him and he sounded good. So, while you can continue the bashing, other people are giving him a chance.

I liked Taylor Hicks singing tonight, too. I hadn't really heard him before.

I don't know anyone who hates Vangina, but I know plenty of people who dislike his singing, including myself. He is just a kid, and should have never been in the top ten.

SuperMom, you can drive up to Dothan, AL and see Taylor Hicks perform live. I heard an ad during the show.

When you are respectful and polite, I will talk to you. Sorry, I don't like your attempt at humor.

Respectfully,

You must not read thru the current posts on this thread each week. Please read my post #716. I have always agreed with you about Sangaya & have always defended him. You are not alone in this. Let the others bash him. Who cares??

Easy now, this ain't med school.

I know you have and some others have too.
Thanks.

Agree.

Overall, aside from how mean Simon has been and how smarmy Ryan (who I usually like) was to some of the people who received those joke awards, I really liked the goodwill that the contestants and others showed toward each other last night. Jordan and Blake seem to be sincerely good/appreciative/gracious people who supported each other. And I told the kids that I thought Sanjaya was really performing well and deserves his success. He has stayed in there and taken the critiques/jokes well and I hope he's doing what he loves and laughs all the way to the bank, in part by playing up people's critiques. He has made the most of his "moment". I hope he's a good guy, too, and stays likable (too soon to tell).

Jordin Sparks is just a kid also at 17. I like Sanjaya, always have. And yes, he deserved to be in the top ten. My opinion. And as for Billy Joe, I know groups names, not individuals names unless it is groups from my generation, like Kiss, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, etc. For instance, Joe Perry who was playing guitar while Kelly Clarkson sang.

Here you go SuperMom. He's a cutie. And he is 17 also, like Jordin.

Relax, it is TV show and a singing competition, not a Presidential Election, even thought you wouldn't think so with over 70 million votes. If you want to get mad, go to the County Commissioners and get mad about something real like the outrageous spending they are doing. Did you know that Walton County doesn't borrow money to build their schools? They pay cash. What other county in the USA does that?

Sanjaya for President?

Sanjaya for President?

You know, he probably received more votes than Bill Clinton. Crazy but very likely.

Off Topic: What does paying cash for something have to do with outrageous spending? Seems to me if they can afford to pay cash for a school, then the county is managing its money wisely. Are you advocating that the county go into debt or are you complaining about spending money on schools in the first place? Neither makes sense to me.

A few years back when the document stamp tax money really was rolling in, Jeb! did talk about shifting a fair amount of infrastructure spending from bond issues to cash payment, though I'm not sure how the final budget shook out.
