In one hour, 8 or 9 people have to sing, then the judges have to confer and then the 3 finalists are announced. Unless the wild card picks sing like they do in the preliminary round...a brief sample, a capella...or maybe another dreaded "sing-off"(didn't like that little addition) I can't see how they're going to fit that into one hour. They can't even tell us the results in less than an hour! I have to wonder if the wild card show will be live.

The snow is still here...I'd hoped I dreamed it! everett...please don't avoid the snark...I love it...as long as it isn't aimed in a nasty way at our fellow bloggers. The contestants, the judges, Ryan....and just about anything else...is fair game! :-) Morning!

Salmon and mac'n'cheese? Wow, that's better than the roasted lemon chicken with Herbs de Provence I was planning to make. Goodness, I live in the Pacific Northwest....you'd think I could afford salmon, but no. Lucky to get Dungeness crab in season. Oh gosh, now I wish I had a great big plate-full of Baltimore crab cakes. Or Georgia corn fritters. Why oh why did I get started on the subject of food? I'll stick to the topic (um..American Idol?)hereafter. Sorry. Happy Monday, y'all. OK, what’s the difference between Arizona Iced Tea and Long Island Iced Tea? Salmon and mac’n'cheese?

I drank too much Arizona Ice Tea. I love that stuff. Monday has been salmon and M & C night in my family since I was little. Don't ask why because IDK but I follow the tradition with one major difference. I broil it with Lawry's lemon sauce while my Mom fries it in homemade lemon butter sauce. With a side of fresh steamed broccoli, of course. everett..we agree on another thing besides Drama Quing not faking it. As you stated, the show should be about the singing. But as others have stated, it's about more than just that. It's about whatever boosts the ratings which is why Nick lasted so long. I heard on Idol Wrap that the ratings are up! My choice right now is Alexis. She has it all. A great voice, major soul, and I liked her look in her last two performances, especially the Aguilera deal with the hat. She even sounded like Christina at times during her semi-final performance. And IMO, that is a major plus. I'm also a fan of her pink highlight which is one of those love it or hate it deals. To answer your "who's Kendall?", I believe she is the bubbly blonde from Texas that auditioned in Puerto Rico. The judges really like her. She has a shot to beat LiL if she makes a better song choice. The lesson to be learned so far is don't sing early 80's pop! That disco sound is the "kiss of death"! And don't sing anything sung by Kelly because you will be compared to her and LOSE. Now this post confirms it. I am verbose! :-) I fell asleep but just woke up. I drank too much Arizona Ice Tea.

And who is Kendall? Not memorable,IMHO. Oh my goodness! Does this mean I'm agreeing with Paula, and the men are going to the top this year? Not that that is a bad thing............ OK, time to sign off and go have an adult beverage. Which I rightfully deserve after such a day.

The Drama Quing (combination of Queen and King) isn't a faker. Oh Dierdre, your comments ring true with me. I think, because of YOUR input, I will not post snarky statements. But I am capable of them, I'm ashamed to admit. And Nana, one of my favorite posters, had a birthday! Hope it was a great day because she deserves it. Thank you for all the inspiration. JTesla and linny - I still admire you. Tell you something about myself...I love to cook. Bake? Naw. But cook? Yeah! Who's having what for supper on Monday night? (Asked that question because we often get off the subject of Idol on the weekends.) Want to hear from YOU! Anne24 – A point upon which we can finally agree!
