and that poor girl!! so sad

That part and when Foreman was talking to the dying girl about how he felt like he didn't belong where he was and that he felt that he could be sent "back" at any time. Then going to his mother for support and all that. Jesus, it was rough.

Oh and as far as American Idol goes...Annie Lennox is absolutely incredible.

Lame lame lame! Everyone's safe? Oh brother. I think that really Melinda or Jordin would have been voted off, so the producers decided to add the results to next week's in hopes that Chris, Phil, or Lakisha will go instead. It's rigged, rigged, I tell you!

I really like Jordan- she has actually made me a bit teary twice (not that you'd notice by looking at me, it's more of an inward tear). I think I'm just teary in general lately because I was actually *crying* at the end of House last night.

I don't think you're a sap at all! Seeing the kids & hearing about their plight gets to me too. It's the staged "OK, pick that kid up, now sing to him. OK, we're done. let's move on" PR photo opp crap that bugs me. When Seacrest was patting the Kenyan boy on the back, telling him "It's OK, man, it's OK. Let it out, it'll be OK." DUDE! No it's NOT OK! His parents are dead & he lives in a 1 room mud house! ARGH! I was impressed & happy that he spoke English, and was going to school.

I was less impressed with the Kids from kentucky (that's right, Michelle) that could barely speak English. I feel bad for them, but I find it hard to swallow when they're saying there's no money for lunch & all the kids (and toothless mom - that's right, Michelle) were quite overweight & wearing Starter jackets. I'm trying not to judge, but have to admit those thoughts do enter my mind. Oh well, at least they can read.

Meh. I wanted to like but, but I didn't. I don't know why, cuz I usually like Annie.




OK. So. Didn't care that they didn't vote anyone off, to be honest. I mean, really, how were they going to do that after a night of charity & giving back? The Ford commercial with all the celebs dancing to Stayin' Alive was stupid. I literally did NOT recognize Teri Hatcher - she looked bizarre. Earth Wind & Fire were kickass. I hate Rascall Flatts. Celine w/ Elvis was wrong on so many levels - it was bizarre, creepy, unnatural, etc. It literally scared me a couple times. *shiver* Leave the poor man dead in the ground please.

Kelly Clarkson? OMG, fan****ingtastic! "Up To the Mountain" is a Patty Griffin tune, it's on her new album! I was thrilled. Kelly oversang it in 1 or 2 spots, but generally I loved it. I wonder if it will be on Kelly's new album, or if she just did it on a whim. Hmmmmm.....I thought she looked beautiful, but unfortunately all the comments about her weight will probably overshadow her spectacular performance.




Finally. I have to ask. Where & when did Paula get them titties?

When I saw that segment, I groaned. Kentucky's reputation is bad enough as it is, and that kind of exposure only fuels the stereotyping.

I do feel for the kids. Many of my students are first-generation college students and/or from underprivileged backgrounds. They are vulnerable and many are not supported (emotionally, not just financially) by their parents. There is a significant population here that discourages education. Sad, but true. Some families are concerned that education will make their kids "too big for their britches" and that "they'll forget where they came from." That kind of stuff.

As for the overweight thing, I believe it is related to economics. It's cheaper to buy off of the dollar menu at McDonald's than to cook a healthy meal. Sad state of affairs.

Thats sad. You would think their parents would want their kids to have a better education and bring themselves out of poverty.

The beginning was uncomfortable, but she tore it up once she stood up.

She was the best part of the whole show! (Although if I closed my eyes, Carrie Underwood did a good vocal on I'll Stand by You) I wonder if Kelly is pregnant? She looks pregnant to me, not fat. Either way, she was fabulous and looked beautiful,

The ending was better, I'll give her that. And I don't think Kelly's knocked up - the Star or some rag ran some pics of her recently & it looked like she's put on some weight. I think she's gorgeous too - and that VOICE!

this is the exact reason I feel the way I do about welfare. I KNOW there are poverty stricken people that honestly need the help. But around here it's people who are spitting out about 8 kids so they can get more money. They are driving nicer cars than I am and roll into the grocery-pack the cart with name brand GARBAGE and I'm hoping I don't bounce the check I'm going to write to buy a tv dinner oh, neither parent works, and they drop their kids off at the public pool (aka-cheapest babysitting service in town) so they can go do whatever the hell it is they do. It is SO common in this area. We have homeless people, but it's their decision. there are plenty of places to go, but they don't want to go. This one guy named ...hell..i dunno his name-they call him "crack". mostly because he shows his ass crack all the time, but he just sleeps in the park and harrasses the people that go use the public restrooms IN the park. that is..if he's not harrassing you with his ass-crack
