I vote for number 2……Simon IS A GIGANTIC HYPOCRITE. He will say anything to bolster his own manipulative opinions even when it contradicts something he has said previously.
I actually think that Simon can be a hypocrite because of his strong opinions. I think he has to play the puppet a lot and you can see it in his face. But I also think he is being manipulative at times. I think he’s also an honest guy as his interviews have shown. He’s the first one to admit that he can smell money from a mile away. He made a career out of molding people into popstars. That’s where he’s coming from. There’s obviously a hidden agenda behind the judges words but I think Simon has integrity for the most part.
did i seriously just read a transcript of taylor’s audition?
She’s not contractually obligated to kiss their ass anymore so why not say what she feels. No harm done.
What I find so funny is Paris expressing her feelings this early in the game. While watching Dr. Keith Ablow this week, I noticed that all the Idols except for Niki pretty much agree that AI is fair in it’s meanness to the contestants. I was surprise to see her actually go against the flow. They had someone from every season represented, by the way.
Here is another something to think about. Do any of you feel Blake and Chris share the same voters and that will eventually cancel out one or the other the way some felt would happen to Melinda and Lakisha? Is that why Chris, who is receiving just as much praise from the judge as Blake, has been in the bottom three twice so far?
Don’t worry Jersey, I will not hold it against you for thinking Blake is cuter…LOL
Question about season six contestants. Will the rest really step it up now, or will we see alot of nerves from this group? I have only observed them singing a couple of times and don’t keep up enough to know their habits or character.
Mad, I think Melinda,Lakisha and Blake seem to have fantastic control of their nerves and their voices. Chris and Phil seem to be vulnerable, Jordin is iffy and Sanjaya is way past nerves into the next universe and laughing all the way there. Did I forget anybody?

Blake could really do good with “King of the Road”…..after watching it last nite with my fellow chatters I think Blake could do it more Justice than my heartbeat JAYA could…Blake can jazz it up and do his thAng.
I agree, Coco. John Steven’s version was incredibly boring. Blake could absolutely do more with it. I hope he picks a fun country song to do and not a slow one.
I think Blake should be one that the producers/judges are pushing even though he isn’t for the most part. He & Jordin are the most marketable imo. I do think that Blake & Chris R share a certain # of fans but think less are splitting the vote as time goes on.
Sanjaya is way past nerves into the next universe and laughing all the way there.

GO SANJAYA!!! I’m with Tony Bennett, J-Lo and Polosi… I Sanjaya
The only reason I would want Sanjaya to win is to show AI that America votes — and not them. However, I really would like to see Jordin win, but I’m not voting for anybody.
Little Debbie, I totally agree with you about Waterzooi. I have been there twice. Although trendy for the local upscale crowd, I did not enjoy it at all. There are so many better restaurants in another upscale community very near GC on the south shore.
Unless someone actually believes Sanjaya is the best, it would be more unfair to a deserving contestant than to AI to vote for Sanjaya just to “show AI”.
Also, I got my copy of this week’s EW with the top 8 on the front. I’m pretty sure the article is the same as what is posted at ew.com, but I’ll flip through it and see if they included anything not available online…
platinumgray and Botay……………I was just going to post what you did. The SP is coming through. I don’t want to get into trouble so I will just give a little…. wooooo LOL
db…………is that for real? Oh my, the life of a celebrity. No wonder Taylor said he felt like he had a camera up his you know where, following, following…….
There is a lowkey place that lots of stars go in Santa Monica, and they dress scruffy and the guys always wear baseball caps. Some can’t get away though, like Adam Sandler. He has such a strong face that you can’t miss him.
Too late to edit this into my previous post, but there’s nothing else AI related in EW.

Oh, I certainly hope those pics are real. As pathetic as it sounds, they’ve made my evening - as did Taylor’s comment about the placement of Hal the camera. Sometimes I have the humor of an eleven year-old boy. That being said, I don’t envy the life of a celeb in this respect. Although it comes with the territory, I’m sure it’s not enjoyable (unless you’re a fame-whore).
Commercial or not? We don’t see what the judges see so let’s be fair. I love Blake but each time they show him full view I cringe. He looks like a jockey! Don’t forget that’s the view the judges have all the time.
givein………….height doesn’t matter. Like I’ve said before, half the guys in Hollywood and in music are 5′8″ or under. If AI thinks they can get Blake to become the next JT, he will be.

lol, I would call it an investigative report.

KOST just gave away tickets to HOB for Taylor, so I guess they are through with those to the Grove in Anaheim.

There are more non-nose mining pictures at ONTD…
