Results show in about 15? Hopefully Paige will go home finally. She was bleating like a goat last night. Casey has the most potential star quality. Aaron did well w/laryngitis. Crystal really thinks she's got this in the bag. I liked the girl w/the funny name last night. Everybody else was karaoke.

See you on this f'ng thread.

Thanks ~ I understand more where you’re coming from.
Sorry to sound so strident. I guess we all tend to ‘project’ a little, depending on our perspective.

Our perception is different. Even Crystal AGREED with Simon when he told her she didn’t think there was going to be competition. Remember time before last when she said Sioban was amazing? Crystal knows she’s good, but I don’t think that’s arrogant. She knows now that it IS a competition and she has a tough row to hoe.

It’s disheartening to be told the reason for your success is natural talent (10% inspiration) rather than the 90% perspiration which makes a professional.
It’s really HARD and grueling being a professional artist, being creative on demand (with inflexible deadlines), being a duck paddling like crazy underneath but calm and confident on the surface, let alone doing it with a child in tow and having health challenges.

Being a busker, Crystal had to inspire folks to part with their money ~ impulse buy ~ because she was THAT GOOD as they listened. She had to be EXCELLENT every time and she was, or she went hungry.

My emotional connection with Crystal is boundless. She delivers. I can relax every time because I KNOW she’ll be good and bring something unique.
She’s not on a pity pot, she doesn’t use her challenges to tug at heartstrings,
she just sings her heart out, credits the band like a pro and thanks the judges.

I honestly don’t know what you mean by not “sharing” herself. She’s probably mortified by how MUCH she’s had to share already (health issues esp.)
Eyee contact could improve, and hopefully will.

Jonny!!!!!!

It is Results Night — you’re fast. ;)

[peggybac]

I rebooted because I thought it was my puter. Hi Jonny!!!

[retrokitten]

Hi! I’ve been here for a little bit, but I kept getting time-out errors.

Miley Cyrus singing alert. I hope they don't have two other stinky new artists we have to suffer through. NO DANCERS W/TVS ON THEIR HEADS, PLEASE.

Hi, Ryan. "The votes are in. This is American Idol."

[silent_jonny]

Hi :)

Lil was asleep last night? LOL

[big'ol_freeper]

We just watched last night’s show and most of them were awful. By far the best is “dredlocks”. I see her in concert tomorrow.

[Bahbah]

Don’t know if it’s slow, jonny. Just glad to see you.

[freedumb2003]

I’ve not been able to be in on the result night, live (since I usually fly on Thursday).

What should I look for (besides The Silver Platters)?

[floriduh voter]

The entire internets is slow today. Facebook won’t work at all.

[stylecouncilor]

Hiya Jonny! I thought I wasn’t going to be able to get on the thread-I was like totally freaking out!! :)
