We watched in stunned SILENCE here--what terrible performances! Here's my take: Lisa, poor Lisa--Dumb song choice, you are no Kelly Clarkson! Time to pack. Ace--creeeeeeepy, weak vocals, don't show me your scars and stop trying to "DO" me thru the television with your eyes! STOP IT! Enough! Taylor--nice, but nothing outstanding and I LOVE him--nice to see him hold still and SING instead of the tics and jerking around he usually does. Hated what he had on, tho--I know he's only 28 but it totally wasn't "him". Katharine--nice, but again, not great. She is no Christina Aguilara! And what did she have on??? Mandisa--beautiful woman--horrible song choice--I felt like she was screaming at me--and OMG, her outfit was sooooo unflattering! Chris--yes, we know you can sing heavy rock. Do something different. Stop trying to pop a blood vessle in your head while singing!!!!! I want him to sing a ballad or something that will show off his voice more. Elliot--ummmmm terrible "dance' moves. OK singing. Bucky--goofy country kid, but not an IDOL worthy performance. Kellie--all I can say is thank goodness she didn't get a chance to TALK! Her singing was terrible, song choice was sooooo stupid--suds in a bucket......omg Paris--terrible hair weave/extensions whatever it was--she has a great voice, but I can't like her! So weird how she sings vs how she talks. And the dancing--ick! Way too much information! My mother would have killed me if I did that on tv! Just my two cents! I think the bottom three will be ACE, Kellie and Lisa, and my feelings wouldn't be hurt if they ALL went home!

"What's a ballsy?" On that note, I am off to work. Cheri I PM'd you last night--didja get it?

She acts all hicksville and innocent--did you hear her?? "what's a ballsy?" OMG give me a break---she's from North Carolina, not the third world! And did you see/hear Chris (who was sitting next to her) say "don't ever say that again" after she said it????? She is an idiot--maybe a talented idiot, but c'mon, I, personally am tired of the dumbed down blonde redneck act. ICK. Taylor better get busy and do something amazing this next week! Anyone know what the theme of the music is? the pictures are in no particular order, btw....

Here's this week's photo!

Just one winner. Originally, the gals were all grouped together and the guys were all together, then they eliminated enough so now there is just one mixed group. Welcome to to AI club. We are an obsessive bunch (well, some of us!)

ok, here's my take on last evening Mandisa--fabulous as ever and BEAUTIFUL! Ace--better than last week Chris--YUM, I think he's gonna win if Katherine gets Laryngitis.... Taylor--disappointing, all that hopping around Bucky--good bye Paris--I don't like her hyper smiley-ness, but she was great! Lisa--nothing special Katherine--my favorite--sooo pretty and talented Kevin--a surprise--better than expected, but who dresses that kid????? Kelly--I generally don't like her--too much makeup and who CANT sing Patsy Cline?!!! Elliott--I thought he did a gREAT job last night, but doesn't have the showmanship/personality to go the distance.... Well, that's my 11 cents worth.

Interesting--people love Katharine! (I do, too!) but look how far down the pike Taylor is! And Mandisa is waaaay down there, too--makes no sense to me!

I think there are a few Bunnies-to-be who didn't get names--if this is your situation, please PM me asap. We had a little duplication of identities and that messed me up:faint: , so if you didn't get a name to buy for PM ME ASAP! I will post a thank you thread starting tomorrow--for all those fast moving bunnies who already shipped their stuff out! WOWSA! Thanks! Kimberly

Here's the short version of my story-- My sweetest in the whole world brother died in September. At that time, I was really losing weight quickly and of course, it continued for a while afterward because I just was so sad I could not eat (who would have ever thought that could happen!) So, then it got cold and I got depressed and just pretty much sat around like a lump of fat until now--Prior to september, I could fit easily into a regular 14 pant. Now, I can't keep them snapped and I could just cry. I haven't seen my doc since October and when I was there, I got the impression (could be a wrong impression) that I was about half way filled and that I (me personally) needed to do more to make this band work for me--I don't know if I can do it!!! I am so bummed that my big fat butt is popping the snaps on these formerly cool looking pants--and I recently had the NSV with my necklace--but I don't want my neck to be thin, I want my butt and hips and belly to GO! Should I just call and make an appt to discuss? I hate going there--it's NOT them--they are wonderful and supportive--I am just feeling like a failure and a freak. Talk me out of this tree, please. I am eating all the wrong things. Today started drinking my usual 64 ounces of Water, so that's a help to getting on the right track again. Help! I fell off the wagon.

Honestly, I just got home from working a 12 hour shift--one of those trips home when it seems like you just can't get home! Had to stop at the store, then had to get gas (or i surely wouldn't get home!). Now sitting here with my tiny family, reading all your kind and lovely words. I made an appt for next week with Dr. K. It took me till after 3pm to pick up the phone to do it, but I did it! I totally understand the idea of having to "do" something to have a starting point and I am ready to do that (with all of your help, of course!) I am thinking seriously about the grief counseling thing. I think I need to do that, too. Good idea. We are still up to our butts in snow up here, but there are Patches where you can see real earth on the sides of the roads and I know spring will be here pretty quick. That is a yipee thing if there ever was one! Thank you again for all your kind words. I am ready for a DO OVER! xoxox Kimberly

darcy! Where the heck have you been?????? I think about you so often and wondered if you were ok.....!!!! Figured just busy with work and kids! Yep, I am going to call tomorrow for an appt. I need a jump start of some kind and I guess that's the best way to do it. Losing Mark was just like a kick in the stomach. He was only 28 and every day I still can't believe he's gone. Sooooo happy to see you back Darcy! ((Hugs)) Kimberly

It's been a long time since I have lost anything that really made me go "hmmmmm, hot"--ha ha. I have a diamond on a necklace that my husband gave to me for a wedding present. I literally wear this necklace 24/7 and have for the last 8 years..... except to have it cleaned, of course...must maintain the only bling I have! Anyway--I have been thinking lately that something is wrong with the chain--and was actually close to taking it to the jewelers, when it occured to me--it hasn't stretched out like I thought, hence, diamond dangling between my boobs where no one can see it, as opposed to up higher where it used to be--it's longer because my neck isn't as FAT!!!! a lightbulb moment if there ever was one. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.... :clap2:

LOl at myself, too--I took the chain off and inspected it closely--it didn't LOOK stretched out, but you know how your mind tries to make sense of stuff--I thought it MUST be stretched! LOL--I never gave my fat neck much thought before! Now I have to go to the jeweler to get it SHORTENED! (and shop for more bling[no! must pay taxes!] {no! must shop for bling!}---maybe will let DH take it in for me...... LOL

I swiped that AI contestant pix with the X's and the Kevin "makeover" from another board that I frequent, so I can't take any credit for it--but she updates it each week, so I will drag the new one over here for all of us to keep track of who is who! the website is votefortheworst dot com. It's an interesting read (kinda) and sometimes funny!

melissa got booted.

My Grampa used to say "Holy old ball face!" when he was shocked --my family still says it because it's so funny!

it was only a 30 minute show tonight? Right in the middle of Melissa singing her "goodbye" song, it cut to some show called the Loop! We just sat here and stared at each other--so used to a two hour "dissecting the performances" bonanza! Oh well. I think Ace was shook right down to his shoes--he better really whip it into shape if he wants to stick around-- ugh Kellie Pickler--Jessica Simpson--interchangeable smarty pants gals laughing right to the bank! if she stays around much longer, my money is that her Momma will crawl out from the background and try to cash in!

Praying I did this right.....let me know if there are any snags or problems. Still waiting on a few addresses. To those who replied promptly to my SOS emails--thank you! Remember, ship date is APRIL FOOLS DAY, APRIL 1!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun!

Will be PM-ing everyone probably while watching American Idol tonight! Thanks Jenna for 'splaining it for everyone! :hat: Kimberly

My take on the whole evening.... Ace: bitterly disappointed--and that fluffy hair! Bucky--eh, and that fluffy hair! Kevin--time to go home Kelly Pickler--please go home Paris--a little over the top--I can't quite get right with her.....and what in the sam hill was she wearing? Lisa--I thought it could have been better--kinda boring Katherine-I just LOVE her--she is fabulous-- Mandisa--amazing--no matter what crap they make her sing--always good! Taylor--I am a huge fan already--he is sooo great Top pick for the night, however, was Chris--he is so talented--and I was not a big fan until last night! Voted for Taylor, however!:clap2:

This is the last 24 hours to sign up for the Spring gift exchange! If you want to participate, please pm me your address by tomorrow. I will PM all of you late in the evening with your secret pal/address. :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny

I totally LOVE Mandisa, too! She is amazing. I am just not a fan of Kelly--she is cute, but there is something I don't like about her--maybe it's kind of a "jessica simpson" type of dumbness....I dunno...just don't like her so much....The whole calamari thing is being beaten to death.

<p>I think that was Ayla that sang "unwritten". She is the senator's daughter, I think. Super tall basketball player.</p>

I was wondering about this thread, too! Yoo hoo! Paula--did you watch our Taylor???? I think you are right about Kevin, he needs to go and Will was just so blah to me. is it on tonight?

Hi-- I have been out of town, but seems that lots of you need/want more time, which is fine with me--so the absolute last day you can sign up for this gift exchange is MARCH 15 at noon. I will draw names after that and PM everyone with addresses. PLEASE plan to ship by April 1 to make sure it has time to get wherever it has to go. Kimberly
