I agree Peggy

[Fawn]

Ok...thx...

[Shelayne]

That was amazing!

That little lass has some serious pipes!

Jimmy Iovine is a producer. He’s produced albums for U2, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty among others.

[rabidralph]

He is very funny!

[freedumb2003]

Heejun is now my favorite — after a wobbly start it was great to see him stabilie and really do a great job.

Holly is pretty good but I think I like Skylark a little better.

Hollie Cavanagh

Latest from Facebook

(Sunday) At&t just gave us the new beats phone!(: so thankful and so.excited!!(:

Her choice is Whitney's "You Fill Me Up." Awesome. She doesn't disappoint. Belts it out.

Randy: This is like Whitney's prime joint. And guess what? You nailed it!

J-Lo: You're the one. We might have a sing-off between girls in the final.

Steven: (loved it)

[rabidralph]

LOL! Were they like the Zubaz(?) NFL pajamas from the early ‘90s? Loud and ugly. The worst were the Bengals pants.

[patriotspride]

Holly looks gorgeous!

She KILLED it! Wow.

My favorite female singer. Great rendition. Really held that last note extremely well.

>>Jimmy Iovine is a producer. He’s produced albums for U2, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty among others.<<

Thanks. As I said, his advice has been real and quite useful.

[silent_jonny]

WHOA!

Congratulations, MOM!!!!!

Amelia is a beautiful name for a beautiful girl :)

[silent_jonny]

Evening, FD :)

[retrokitten]

I know. It’s refreshing to hear actual useful advice instead of the esoteric crap the other three spew.

[Shelayne]

You would have LOVED the silk shirts he had to go with each pair. I was embarrassed for him when I discovered these in the back of the closet.

They reminded me of something someone coming out of a closet might wear. Oy.

[silent_jonny]

Jeremy looks like a giant 12 year old.

[peggybac]

I’m very impressed with the talent this year.

Fashions in my closet I am waiting to come back:

Muscle pants
Chinese collars
Skinny ties
Wide ties
Red power ties
Yellow power ties
floral ties
Double breasted suit jackets
Linen jackets
Wide flare bell bottoms
Wide puff sleeve shirts
Flare jeans for guys
Skinny jeans for guys (they do come and go — I just need to get my skinny legs back)

[retrokitten]

Me too. Some really great singers this season.

[MagUSNRET]

They will get him on Americas Biggest Loser program next....thin him up...then market him........the kid has a great voice, but America has become all to “visual”....In some ways I miss the days when all I had was my transistor radio and Americas top 40 ;-)

[Netizen]

Speaking of shows. I was just looking to see what is on after idol and noticed a new show premiering called Doomsday Bunkers. Anyone know what that is about?

No storyline was given.

[freedumb2003]

>>I know. It’s refreshing to hear actual useful advice instead of the esoteric crap the other three spew.<<

Perfect example from Randy — “put more swag in it” What the heck does that mean? How do I “swag up” a song?

Useless drivel that can’t be used by the contestant.

[MagUSNRET]

When I was at home this past week, I saw my mother had an ad from the paper looking for “viontage” closthing...and the years mentioned...match both my mothers and MY closet at home LOL...WHO KNEW I was “vintage”.....(Hope the lass wearing my hip hugger paisley mini skirt and body shirt TRULY appreciates “that look” LOL

[slugbug]

Ah, I’ll bet Jessica will be singing “I Will Always Love You”...not sure I’d go there as no one can sing it as well as Whitney and Dolly Parton...

[Netizen]

jimmy iovine

I think the last guy is the best of the guys so far.

[stylecouncilor]

LOL at J-Lo’s Kohl’s commercial.

[silent_jonny]

Jeremy Rosado

Latest from Facebook

(Yesterday) HeY #teamjeremy Good night and GOD BLESS and remember tomorrow is the big day:) Pls tell you every one that you know to pls vote and to tell someone they know to vote too:) GB

His choice is Stevie Wonder's "Ribbon In The Sky". Soft, slow and boring.

Steven: Velvety smooth. Didn't get a chance to fly like you usually do, doesn't matter. (Liked it anyway)

J-Lo: Loved your interpretation of the song.

Randy: Wasn't your best. Didn't put your swagger into it. Didn't beleive it.

[retrokitten]

Exactly. Or the last few weeks when they would praise everyone and randomly criticize someone around the 1 hour 15 minute mark of the show.

[Shelayne]

Let me guess, she is going to sing “I Will Always Love You”

If I’m right, I want a cookie. ;^)

[freedumb2003]

>>Hope the lass wearing my hip hugger paisley mini skirt and body shirt TRULY appreciates “that look”<<

I am sure no one will complain if you post pics of you in that outfit back in the day.

I can buy a scanner for you if needed... ;)

[MagUSNRET]

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! I spit a milk dud when I read your post! ;-)

You know, something about Jlo and Kohl's together just works. LOL

[peggybac]

BIG risk.

[peggybac]

You beat me to it!

[silent_jonny]

I hope someone put away the ashtrays and lamps in Jennifer Hudson's house.

Sanchez is singing circles around her.

[freedumb2003]

:)

[RummyChick]

she sounds better than whitney did for years

[peggybac]

hahahaahahahahaha

[retrokitten]

Why does she always look like she caught her foot in a bear trap while she is singing?

[twin2]

Speaking of shows. I was just looking to see what is on after idol and noticed a new show premiering called Doomsday Bunkers. Anyone know what that is about?

No, but I have a great plotline.... "An indeterminate number of Freepers's that knew each other only through online communication are locked in the Doomsday Bunker to scratch out a future survival. The only supplies they have are a book of matches, two boxes of chex party mix, a dvd of Downton Abby and a Whitney's greatest hits cd." Good luck.

[peggybac]

Amber Riley from Glee already did it.

[Netizen]

Gotta say Jessica nailed that!

[Shelayne]

Holy cow, she floored me! AMAZING!

[freedumb2003]

I wanted to not like her b/c she is doing Whiteney’s signature song.

But she KILLED it!

And PWNED it!

[retrokitten]

LOL! She did a good job. I still think the best tonight was Hollie Cavenaugh.

[freedumb2003]

>>No, but I have a great plotline.... “An indeterminate number of Freepers’s that knew each other only through online communication are locked in the Doomsday Bunker to scratch out a future survival.

The good part is it naturally becomes a series about Zombies...

[Jrabbit]

Guess her vocal chords recovered.....Randy Dawg is orgasmic....J-Lo is squeaking....oh my

[MagUSNRET]

the ONOY question I have is...WHY were they pimping this gal SO much before making the final cut...AND why are they pimping her so much now? Yes, she was good...but...they are making out as if she is the next coming of Barbra Streisand or something...Something isnt adding up

[patriotspride]

Holy cow, she floored me! AMAZING!

Made watching this season worth it. Clearly a finalist front runner.
