My comment about JL crying gig was only a guess...don't take it so serious. It could be a drama session for ratings believe me most of those shows are scripted and filmed by a director who picks certain video shots, such as, on Amazing Race, Survivor, etc......Do you really think all these shows are the real thing??? Please!!!! As for the young fellow who was helping his girlfriend...I felt for him but, there were many others who hardship stories too. I thought this was a singing contestant not This is your life. I think JL still looked beautiful even when she was crying...she kept her head down and blotted her tears. I hope I am wrong but .....I wonder!!!!

I started a thread this morning about AI.. it fell to page 2, but here are the posts from it. American Idol last night Posted by lydia1959 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:09 What did you think? I really liked Danny Gokey and thought both Anoop and the Braddy kid were good. The girls were mostly awful IMO... sadly I thought Tatiana was about the best of them. Follow-Up Postings: o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by danihoney (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:15 Same here. I love Danny, he's nice looking too. Sadly is exactly the word I would have chosen with Tatiana. Unless one of the other girls loosens up and really shows something, Tatiana has the better voice. But man that girl is just not 'right' if you know what I mean. She seems a little off and I can't see her winning this thing. I think she even creeps the judges out a little. o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by matti5 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:52 Danny is my favorite, he has so much heart and soul in his music. I like Anoop dog as well. I thought the guys far out shined the girls last night. I agree that Tatiana did well, but she definitely creeps me out. o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by happy_go_lucky_gayle (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:57 I don't know the Blondes name (with the red tips), but we like her best of all the girls. Tatiana's just to creepy. I agree Danny and Anoop are very good. o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by samkaren (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 12:40 I agree with Happy go lucky. Don't know the names yet but #3 with pink and blonde hair was the best. Tatiana did well but Simon said it best.."you are a drama queen". Still she did a good job with the Whitney Houston song. Didn't think much of the guys last night. Can't wait to see who gets picked tonight. If Tatiana doesn't make it through I wonder if she will have a melt down on stage. SamKaren your resident DJ

Tragically, at age 27 Sophie Gokey died duriing surgery in July 2008. She had a congenital heart condition. He tried out for AI only 4 weeks after her death, not 4 months. He does have a great voice, I've liked him since the auditions. Below is the story. Here is a link that might be useful: Danny Gokey's wife

I want Joshua and Phillip for final 2. After Joshua singing It's a man's world if he is not in the final something is terribly wrong. Phillip singing Volcano was also amazing. Those 2 will be famous no matter what. I agree with Jennifer Josh took us to church!! Amazing.
