I am okay with the drama Story of adopting these handicapped children.

It’s a good thing.

[peggybac]

I agree. What a great family.

[freedumb2003]

Nice voice and a good back-story.

It rings true — something anyone would brag about.

True gold in a night of plastic.

I am glad she was good.

[peggybac]

Is Ryan the newest physically challenged foster child?

[Shelayne]

That was precious!

[silent_jonny]

A girl from a family that has adopted several special needs kids. "I have the best family in the world."

And she can sing.

Minaj: I want to come to your show! I'm so inspired.

Mariah: Nice and clear. The potential is great.

Randy: Before we vote, can we get the family in here?

The family joins her in the room. Even Seacrest comes in.

It's a unanimous yes.

[MagUSNRET]

That little guy in the hat and his little glasses was precious! Poor lad looked like he had no clue what was happening, which made him all the more precious!

[RummyChick]

“Is Ryan the newest physically challenged foster child?”

Almost spit out my tea.

Really.

[silent_jonny]

Auditions from Chicago tomorrow night.

You're required by law to be here ;)

>>Poor lad looked like he had no clue what was happening, which made him all the more precious!<<

For all the machinations, sometimes the producers hit on something that is natural, uplifting and wanting more.

They were smart enough to let it unfold in an unforced manner.

And it worked — I do feel good now.

And to be with all my OLOA (did I get that right?) friends makes me enjoy it all the more.

Good night all — Jonny, you’re the bestest of the mostest.

I've got to say the judges did way better than I expected. O.k., so I set the bar pretty low, but even Nicki surprised me with some of her comments. I think the chemistry will work.

Mariah was the weakest...she will get cornered with the dafidills and rainbow comments if she is not careful

[Gator113]

Thanks... I’ll check out “The Voice”. I have never watched it.

[patriotspride]

Agree the competition this year was great. All three finalists were excellent singers/ performers. Very happy Casadee won.

[silent_jonny]

What we truly need here is an unwed amputee mother of three that lives and works cleaning stadium bathrooms

The sob story trifecta!

[silent_jonny]

Wow. The screeching Mariah wannabe is through to Hollywood, but one-legged, tap-dancing, guitar-playing, singer that didn’t make my ears bleed doesn’t make it?
Hrrmph.

I second your hrrmph.

[Jrabbit]

See ya tomorrow night! Missed the last few acts....phone call...grrrrrrrrrr....gonna go watch, now.

So much FUN! Thanks jonny!!

[silent_jonny]

FR is slower than a crippled turtle!

I thought without the debates this year FR might run more smoothly. Looks like it's just as slow regardless.

[silent_jonny]

Had to have been before. Can’t imagine the family would be so happy and inviting after they knew he lost.

[twin2]

Thanks jonny, it is good to be back with old friends...see ya tomorrow

[silent_jonny]

War Ho’

ROFL!! That one would have stuck too.
