American Idol this Week — Page 10

Why can't people say what they mean? If s/he hates fags, why doesn't s/he just say so, instead of a stupid screen name no one can understand.

Perhaps she is a vegan, and hates steak bundles.

Yeah, I'd always see pork faggots on sale in supermarkets when I was studying in London.

This is Broadway week, right?

---

I love it.

For the fact that the judges always say NOT to pick Mariah (Whitney, Celine etc.) songs.

---

I'm worried for David Cook.

Mateo, I agree it is funny how the judges say never attempt songs by mariah yet this week they won't have a choice. I think most of them will struggle. I am very worried about David Cook; this will be a big challenge for him. If he ends up leaving, there will be nothing left to watch on the show.

Last week was his weakest performance. Hopefully he can come back strong.

I'm very eager to hear Mariah's advice to the contestants: "If you want to be a big pop star, first, you have to marry the head of a record label. Then, you sleep with the top producers & songwriters..."

That dictionary left out "fagoti" - the Italian term for "oboe" - used in musical notation.

Yeah, just look at Pia Zadora.

Joe, neither am I. Can't stand her.
