Idol!

OK, we are almost caught up on our Idol Tivo's! We like Crystal a lot, and the Indie girl with the blonde hair. For the guys we like Big Mike, Casey, and Lee (Lee is my favorite). But Crystal just rocks. I'm glad they bleached her teeth :)

Who do you all like?

...oh, and that gal that belted out Aretha's "Think."

I like Crystal too, gotta route for the girl with dread locks;). I actually like the same people that you guys like. We are routing for Katie Stevens though. She is the local girl. Was in Peter's SAT class this past fall and the boys actually saw her sing this past summer at their school. She is not my favorite singer, but it is kind of exciting to have a local there.

Well, well, well..we actually like the same contestants. However, it is not good luck for them for me to 'like' them. My choices always lose!Did I choose the right David? Nooooo. And Adam looked like a shoe in. So I will do Crystal and Lee, my two favorites, the kindness of not outwardly promoting them!
When do 'Chex Elimination Nites'begin?

peggy wolff said...

How about this Thursday? Top 12 night?

Deb, do I have the right email address for you. I have the de address and the bbatlantic.

Go Crystal!

P-I think so..debra.kupper1@atlanticbb.net is home and dkupper@newark.de.us is at work.
Check out Crystal's original 'Farmer's Daughter' on UTube. I'm really liking this girl. The 'stories' this year seem more heartwrenching. Or warm and fuzzy (Big Mike)I'm trying to resist Chex. BTW-did try Me-Me's elbows and stewed tomatos with out cooking the pasta first. Just fine! Yum!

MeMe Deb said...

My sign in here is an old e-mail...same thing with out the number one (1)after my name.

MeMe Deb said...

I like Katie..alot. But I'm surprised that it came down to Katie over Lil. So was Lil..surprised that is. Shock was written all over her face. Kind of WTF?

heathandpete said...

I thought Katie was going home last night too. It seems like HS students usually do really well with the votes.

peggy wolff said...

I'm looking for Crystal to knock it out of the park tonite. That "Paint it Black" really did beat her's last week. She seems sick or something. Michael and I are betting on smack withdrawal; they probably put her on a methadone program or something. Just seems like the type, that look in her eye, the Janis Joplin in her.

Anyway, I hope she's up for it because she rocks!

P.S.

Michael thinks Tim might be the worst contestant ever!

MeMe Deb said...

I think I heard that she has Type 1diabetes and I would guess that if that is the case then her insulin levels are messed up as a result of the type of schedule she is keeping. I really do like her and hope that she can keep up physically. Still like 'the kids', too. Not as crazy about Sioban and Tim, ugh! Big Mike is a sweet guy but too much like Rudin from Season 2 or 3.

MGM said...

I also like Crystal.
Whose the one that went into a slide last nite? You all know that I'm not good with names.He was terrible.
What is smack withdrawal? I live in a vacuum.LOL
So-o-o who is going home?Paige?
I'll try to get the names Straight.

peggy wolff said...

Well, you guessed it right, Mom. Too bad, because I think she deserved to go on tour way more than Tim (the slide guy!), glasses guy (Andy), or Didi Duh Duh. Paige just lost her voice. I think the judges should have at least listened to her going out, because she sounded pretty good.

Oh, diabetes. Well, not as dramatic as smack withdrawal (heroin, Mom), but it makes sense. Hope she can hold up.

Oh, and ha ha, about the elbows--I use crushed, skinless tomatoes! I guess we never thought to write down the recipe because we figured it was so easy. :)

heathandpete said...

Oh, I like Didi. I like her quirky voice.

But yeah, Crystal is the best. I mean c'mon.....Me and Bobbie McGee. The girl knows good music. I am actually surprised at how much they like her.

What else is new with everyone? My big news... I am taking a class to be a Personal Trainer and I am running a 1/2 marathon on April 17th. I ran 11.4 miles this past sunday. I never thought that I would ever be able to say that.

peggy wolff said...

Wow, Heather! That is awesome! When I had a PT in San Francisco, I was in the best shape of my life. Good Luck with that!

MeMe Deb said...

I'm thinking we need a new post!

heathandpete said...

Thanks Peg! I am just hoping that clients will take a 5'1 woman seriously. Only time will tell, I guess.

heathandpete said...

and BTW Peg, even Dave is on Facebook now. Come on!

MGM said...

I'm voting that Tim will be leaving this week.

I'm also hoping that someone will really grab me ,so that I can vote
for that person. None are turning me on right now.

peggy wolff said...

Mom,
I thought you might go for Big Mike!
L-

MeMe Deb said...

I like Crystal but thought Lee was great last night. Mike was good too but to me he is another Rubin Stoddard...no staying power. Just doesn't have it for the big stage, IMHO. I'm still missing Adam. Tim...WTF? I think DiDi is going down but it should be Tim.

peggy wolff said...

My two faves, Crystal and Lee. Both were great last night. DiDi Duh Duh sucked again, but not as badly as Tim. The WTF is that he is the "vote for the worst" guy, and has been for weeks, so all of those people vote for him. I don't know if he'll get by on that this week though. He just sucks so bad!!! (ly). :) DiDi might get sympathy votes. I thought Katie was pretty lame too (sorry Heather). C'mon Mom...no one you like? Did you buy Danny's album (ha-ha)?
L-
-P

heathandpete said...

No, I am totally with you guys on the Crystal and Lee thing. And I know Katie is lame. The singing has been pretty bad and her personality is annoying AND a big WTF to her wardrobe. It is just pretty cool to have a local girl on it. Local places have big signs up and they have a big viewing and voting party every week at the fire station. It is just kind of fun.

MeMe Deb said...

...and how in the world is she going to find a CW song in the McCartney-Lennon collection? Sooner or later she will need to listen to Simon. Having a local favorite is fun, especially in a small town like Woodbury. I had forgotten about the Vote for the Worst site. Remember the year of Sanjaya (sp)? And I didn't ever like DiDi (duh duh :)
I'll look forward to the song choices next week.

peggy wolff said...

Well, there is "Falling" (yes, I am fallin', and she keeps callin', me back again.) Maybe Rocky Raccoon!!! That I'd love to see. As long as nobody but maybe Crystal does "Let it Be," I think Michael (my Michael) will survive.

Last night's show was pretty impressive. They must have shelled out some bucks on that. Did you like it, Mom?

L-
-P

PS--Oh, Heather...I listened to Farmer's Daughter on YouTube. You're right. It's awesome.

MGM said...

You asked me if I liked the show on Wed.It gave me chance to get my coffee and get comfortable.
No, I really didn't like it.
I was glad that DiDi went home.But we're still stuck with Tim.Maybe next week.
Lee is growing on me.
Maybe we need some Chex.

heathandpete said...

Big Mike? WTF?

MGM said...

I couldn't believe it!!
But when he sang for his life, you knew the judges had to "save"him.

Now who are the 2 going home next week?

I wanted to vote for David A. last nite.

MeMe Deb said...

Mom..I hear ya. I was reaching for the phone to vote for Archuletta, too! His Imagine was even better last night than when I first heard it. I can only think that no one liked Big Mike's rendition of Elenor Rigby. I wasn't a fan. Tim, even tho improving is still weak. Two go next week. Katie seems in it for the long haul at this point. I still think Crystal is going to take it. Unless she gives it away. Doesn't seem likely.

heathandpete said...

Big Mike almost got voted off because he is black. Have you noticed that all the black people are gone? So weird. It has been like that since the final 24. I am probably just full of crap, but I do think it is weird.

You guys and your David A. LOL - do you guys have his CD?

Peg - Do you take Vitamin D? I was just reading something that said it helps with fibromyalgia. Holy cow, I can't believe I spelled that right on the first try.

peggy wolff said...

Hi All-

OMG, Michael said the same thing. He said that Big Mike will never get it because he is the only black one left and black people don't watch Idol. With all of the guest entertainment, you would figure that black people DO watch Idol. Or, maybe they are trying to market that dance pop/rap to white people!

I knew they were going to save Big Mike. Michael is evil... He's got all these people voting for Tim.

My WTF this week was Lee. "Hey Jude?" And coaxing the audience to sing along? And the gimmicky bagpipe player? I think he is giving it away, and knows Andrew is going soon.

Hey Heath- Yeah, I take 2000 iU of Vit D3 a day. I started a supplement program, and it made me worse! I have been really sick the last week or so. In bed. Sorry all, that's why I haven't been in touch. I'm OK now though. Having more thyroid blood work done on Monday.

Anyway, I think Aaron is up for grabs, and Andrew is skating for some reason. They would be my bottom two at this point.

MGM said...

I liked when Ellen said about the bagpiper getting lost from his parade. She is a quick wit and I like her.
Interesting observation concerning the black people.
Could be anyone next week.Maybe Sioban.
It is kinda'like the "family candle" thing,with everyone watching the same program at the same time.And maybe eatting Chex.LOL
Deb,what is IMHO?
Everyone! Know what my license plate is ?
UFK 69X.How is that for a 77yr old lady.

peggy wolff said...

Perfect for you! Ha-Ha.

IMHO is "in my humble opinion."

I like Ellen too, though she has a hard time with tough criticism. Thought she was gonna cry when they ditched Didi.

peggy wolff said...

!!!! I just let Michael read the Idol posts, and he was looking at the one where I asked if Mom liked the show with Diddy and Usher. He said to tell Mom that it is not DiDi, it is Diddy! Ha-ha, he thought Mom spelled Diddy wrong instead of referring to DiDi. (Diddy was the second guy that told everyone to turn up their TVs, Mom.)

Can you believe he has all of these people voting for Tim? I never should have showed him the "Vote for the Worst" site!

I am going to start a new thread. This one has gotten too big. Continued on Idol, 2010!
