I hear what you are saying, regarding telling stories like that, same with the blind guy, scott is it? i am sure they get a certain percentage of sympathy votes, but honestly Danny can sing, boy can he sing, i think he will get by alone on that regardless of his story.

Yes Jamar should have stayed, even the rest of the idol contestants were astounded , you could see it on their faces, I am just annoyed that Nick got through, and he didn't it, if they had both gone through,no problem, i can tolerate Nick, but like other's have said, he needs to be Nick not Norman, save that for a comedy show.

I think he has a future there, certainly not as the Idol, there is no way he is going to be that,he can sing, but I don't find his singing fantastic, it is ok for a bar or something, or a band, but he is not good enough IMO.

As for that girl Taitiana, (sp) i could throttle her, i am so sick of her crying and screaming,talk about a drama queen,acting would be more in her line, she honestly seems like she is a bit nutty to me, but she sure can sing,she just needs to tone it down a bit.

All said and done i love watching American Idol, it is on every friday and saturday night here, and i cannot wait for my fix, i am hooked ,line and sinker lol, we had NZ Idol here, it sucked big time, not worth watching, and OZ Idol was pretty good, i enjoyed it, but nothing beats American Idol, it is the TOPS.

Remember to shh...on what happens next,i know it is hard, but please don't spoil it for me, i love the build up of the excitement for the show every week. sounds like we are not too far behind this time around.,maybe two shows or so.
