American Idol Gives Back

Melinda and Jordin. Perhaps they will allow a tie this season.

But that's not what I want to talk about tonight in regards to the show. Tonight American Idol gave back. They have been visiting thrid world countries and also parts of our own country to see how they can make a difference in fighting poverty. Tonight 10 cents of each vote will go towards their cause; the final amount will be in the millions. This kind of good will is just amazing and I am so pleased to see it.

Money will be given to poverty stricken areas in both the United States and Africa. You can find out exactly where the money will be going by reading the information on the American Idol Gives Back website.

I made my donation and I hope you will make your own. It doesn't have to be much and certainly don't do it if it outside of your means, but if you can, you should.

    Yes, He's Gone

    It is about time that Sanjaya was booted off of American Idol. All of the looks and stlyes he tried to pull off made me sick. But if you want to talk about his singing than that is whole other story. Not to be rude but he was absolutely "horrendous" and he made my ears want to explode. I think that if he won this year there would be no point in ever watching the show again.
    If I had to pick a girl to be the winner I would pick Jordin. For a 17 year older she has really shined more than most contestants. Simon even likes her so you know she is good. If I had to choose a boy winner it would definetly be Blake despite his being in the bottom three. Country is not his thing but next week during Idol Gives Back, you can count on him doing his own thing.
    Simon intended no disrespect to Virginia Tech and the outrage that occured recently. Simon maybe a little rude but he was talking to Paula and had no idea that Chris was still talking. Next will be absolutely great.

    No, no! He HAS to go!

    Horrendous.

    Sometimes Simon is mean when he judges people, but tonight when he said Sanjaya was horrendous, well, I think he was putting it mildly. I cannot stand hearing that boy sing. I don't find him the slightest bit attractive. He doesn't dress well, there is no style about him whatsoever. SO WHAT IN THE WORLD is going on!?

    Maybe it is all a conspiracy. Maybe the network wants to end the show so they put him on stage and are watching all their credibility wash down the drain.

    My son loves to watch it. He loves Jordin. And so yes, tomorrow night we will stay up and see who gets voted out of the competition. If Sanjaya once again escapes the bottom three and remains in as a contestant..well..Brae just might have to watch the rest of the reason while Mommy reads with ear plugs in place.

    8 left on American Idol

    With only 8 left and one on the way out tonight, the American Idol competition is fiercely underway. Last night the contestants performed Latin themed songs after receiving coaching from Jennifer Lopez.

    Aside for Blake, I thought they all stunk. I'm sorry, but even the girls who have brilliant voices (not Haley) just didn't have what it takes to sing the songs they picked. Next week everyone will need to step it up a notch. Blake did the best of all the performances, and even he could have done better. But he was the only singer who actually kept the beat of the song last night.

    I had to cover my ears when Phil was singing "Maria, Maria." There were times in which his voice squealed so piercingly that I commented it sounded as though he had stepped on a pig's tail.

    Haley should just put down the mic. The only thing she is good for is being runner-up in a swim suit competition.

    Jordin, LaKisha and Melinda have amazing voices, but the Latin theme was not their cup of tea. I do hope they are in the last four along side Blake.

    The judges must not have been paying attention when Chris sang, because they didn't think he did too bad. I thought he was terrible. I don't care how hot you think he looks, I think he's full of himself, not-so-hot and a terrible singer/performer.

    Sanjaya. Oh lord. Do you know in his interview when they asked what his personal goals were in life his response was "To become witty." WHAT!? Is that!? I just, I have no patience for him or his presence on the show. In fact, I want to watch it less and less due to the fact that he remains.
