Tonight was the results show. I loved the little acts they had the contestants do!
First up was Scotty and Lauren with Randy Travis’ “I Told You So.” I loved it!! Those two sounded great together. In my opinion, I think Lauren’s voice was so tender. Loved it. Scotty starts doing those weird facial expressions. Oh well. I do wish I could buy the single!
Next up was Jacob and Naima singing Ashford and Simpson’s “Solid.” The dancing and the singing was just awkward. Their voices were just…odd…together. Not my favorites in the competition anyway. I’m not a bit surprised that Naima is in the bottom three.
Oh look, Fantasia. She looks…different.
The next contestant act was Haley, Thia, and Pia with Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream.” Cue the Warbler’s from Glee, please. 🙂 I was surprised to see that Pia could do something more than a ballad, as odd as it may seem, lol. Thia. Whatever. Haley, she’s cute, but seems like she would be annoying in person. Thia in the bottom three. Not suprised.
At this point, I do want to comment that I do like how they are revealing them with the little acts. 🙂
Is it time for my fave? James?
Yep. It’s James, Casey, Paul, and Stefano. They rocked it something amazing. They sounded like the Beatles. 🙂 Of course, this means they have to send someone to the bottom three. 😦 I like all the guys. Paul in the bottom three. His voice tends to drive me crazy, but I don’t want him to go home yet. As long as it’s not James.
Oh look, Jamie Foxx and irritating will.i.am. eyeroll. Rio looks good…and cool dancing. Then, they start singing. Next.
It looks like Paul will be here next week. Only three girls left. Let’s hope they can bring it.
Great season!!
Discuss, if you like!

I’m sitting here trying to feel better. I feel better than I did this morning, but I still feel kinda miserable. My mom, sister, another sister, and I are going to Pigeon Forge to get some food. 🙂
I love Pigeon Forge. I love the whole touristy thing. I really do. I could live there and love it. The traffic can be unbearable, but think of how many people you’d get to meet! I love it.
Well, I’m off. Talk to you soon!

Today’s my day off…and I’m sick. I was up half the night coughing and feeling miserable. I finally got to sleep and woke up to a congested chest. Ew. I hate it. Oh well, I’m still glad I’m off. lol. My only disappointment is not getting to go to the gym. 😦
I am glad I’m getting to post on a blog again. I had forgotten how therapeutic it is.
Until later, be good, world.

Anyone watch American Idol? I used to be a huge fan…especially when Adam Lambert was on the show. I loved him. The next season, I felt like the show had no personality or originality. Also, it had Kara Dioguardi (the spelling may be wrong, but I don’t care, lol). I think she ruined the show. She was a waste of space. Her critiques were self-indulgent and irritating. I wanted to watch for Ellen, but I just couldn’t do it. Too much was too much.
When I read Simon wasn’t returning, I was sad!! I loved him. It got worse for me when I read that Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez were signing on as the new judges. What?? Ew!!
I want to take this time to formally apologize to them and Fox. They have been so great for that show. It’s new and fresh. They aren’t mean. It’s a breath of fresh air. I also love the addition of Jimmy Levine, president of Interscope Records. His continual mentoring/producing has helped the contestants be the best crop we’ve ever had.
Tonight’e episode was amazing. First of all, it included music by Elton John. Always a good option, I must say. My favorite on the show is James Durbin. As I type this, I’m listening to his version of “Saturday Night is Alright (for Fighting).” Amazing. He’s right up there with Lauren Alaina. She rocked it with “Candle in the Wind.” I actually cried. 🙂
If you watch it, who’s your favorite? What did you think of this season’s changes?
Have an awesome day!!

So, I’ve missed blogging. It’s been too long. For some crazy reason, I’ve deleted all my old posts. Not sure why. Oh well. I guess I’ll start over. Kinda exciting, ya know? Sometimes a new start is just what you need. This blog has had so many versions it’s pathetic! Well, I guess that’s me. It’s how I roll.
So what’s new? For me, a lot has changed. I’m getting back to the gym. 🙂 Its been a struggle since August. I gained all but 10 lbs of my 45 lbs I lost. It was a hard pill to swallow. However, after feeling sorry for myself for about three months, I just realized that I need to get over it and make it happen. And I did. 🙂
I’m happy to report that I’m down 10 lbs, which makes it 20 from my original starting weight. 🙂 I’m very very happy about that. This time, it’s been coming off slower than before. I think it’s a good thing. I have been doing the elliptical a whole bunch. When I first started going to the gym, I couldn’t do the elliptical. It was too hard for me. I could tire too easily. Now, I’m doing at least 5k on it daily!!
In May 2010, I ran a mile for the first time ever. It took about 17 minutes on the treadmill. Now, on the elliptical, my best mile (today, 3/29/2011) is 5 minutes and 10 seconds. My first 5k was in June 2010. It took about 45 minutes on the treadmill. Today (3/29/2011) I did it on the elliptical in 19 minutes and 50 seconds. My stamina has vastly improved.
I’m seeing results! It’s so rewarding.
Hmm, what else is new? I’m an assistant manager now. That’s good.
Well, I’m beat and I’m going to the gym in the morning. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by. Come back soon!!!
