DRs Miss Karen and Cason - Just to ease my own "confusion", just how far a distance would you two need travel to see each other? -I had been thinking you both lived in the same area. I guess not.

Good morning, all! I'm groggy today. I'm basically stuck here waiting for a UPS delivery.

Problem solved. You're free to leave the abode cause Case is being delivered here in AZ not NYC...

I felt so bad for Sunjaya while he was performing. Trying to emulate that style of singing and dress only served to emphasis how young and inexperienced he is. It's like he was wearing a flashing red sign that lit up saying "I have no place in this competition." Of course, that's just my opinion.

The distance (about 400ish miles give or take) between LA and Central AZ -- anything to ease your own confusion -- don't want you fretting all day on our account

"Woody" is a nickname. It is not an agnomen, as it does not refer to anything.

Yeah, right....that's what all the guys named "Woody" say -- "It's just a nickname, by golly, geewiz"
So innocently, too....mm-umm..

Mine, too.

The way he was "presenting" himself...image-wise....he seemed on the verge of "coming out"...without knowing he was doing it.

My guess, DR RLP, is that he thought he should have a Best Actor Nomination for DREAMGIRLS.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #160 on:** February 28, 2007, 10:10:39 AM »

So...

I wonder if "American Idol" - and other reality shows - offer any sort of post-show counseling to their participants/contestants. Or at least a list of qualified health professionals.

Interesting. My guess would have been he was too embarrassed to be seen with those in "Dreamgirls" who seriously outperformed him.

Two answers for the first part: Mr. Magoo in Hi-Fi would be the real first comedy album - I loved that album. First comedian comedy album would have been the first Shelly Berman album - also had Bob Newhart and Louis Nye albums, but Shelly was first.

Last comedy album - Derek and Clive: Live

I remember your Shelly Berman "phase", Bruce. There was a joke about an elderly couple. One would say to the other, "Do you want to go to sleep or what?" And the other, hard of hearing, would reply, "What? What?" How you loved that joke! I still chuckle over it--and you, telling it.

They are traditionally asked, DR JOSE..... DR RLP may be right. Of course Jamie may be working on some classic motion picture and wasn't available.

I just hadn't heard "officially" what the reason was.

Well, since the nick was given to me by a girl during my college days...
And there is absolutely no way she would have known...
Believe me, absolutely no way!

If there were any JUSTICE, Sunjaya and A.J. would be the ones going home tomorrow night.

Chris Sligh and Chris Richardson were very good. Blake Lewis was terrific. Sundance Head was terrific. Phil Stacey has a nice voice....bad song choice, IMO, but safe.

Jared and Nick should definitely worry a bit, though. Sunjaya's got the John Stevens thing going for him...i.e., so-so performer with large, tin-eared fan base.

I've forgotten one of them....and because of that, he should worry, too.

You and Jennifer are spot on with your AI reviews/comments. However, I do like Nick's voice (smokey and sexy -- whatever) but Simon is right his lack of stage presence is gonna kill him if he doesn't step up the "it" factor and even if he does I think those younger hip guys have got it down and will be hard to beat at this point. Phil will have the same problem (nice voice but the others know how to work the stage and have their inididual image thing going) AJ hands down should be outta there (terrible job and I'm with Simon, I love puppies too...but...) and Sujaya out to offer to pack his bags, too, after his last two times on stage...

I had to LOL regarding Simon and AJ -- Simon can be wickedly, but spot on, delicious in his comments, but I loved the "funny sarcasm" he was using on AJ -- and smiling all the while -- that puppy comment (LOL) and sending out BD wishes to his mom and talking about how he loved grandmas too, but...I don't want him to change, but I hope he throws this into the mix a little more often, too.

HA!

Here's the current weather forecast for NYC from WNBC's website:

This afternoon: Temperatures will rise from 42 early afternoon to the high for the day of 43 at 3:00pm as they drop back down to 37 later this afternoon.

42 to 43?!?!?!?!? Why bother?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #170 on:** February 28, 2007, 10:35:47 AM »

As for "American Idol"....

If AJ and Antonella are still left on that stage after tomorrow night's show...

-Something tells me Antonella will still be pitchy and bad tonight.

The next sound you hear....

Keep trying, Woody, keep trying...

...He who doth protest too much....

..well, at least you were given your nickname -- you gotta wonder about the motive of those guys who give themselves the nickname "Woody" ...so I'll let you off the hook and accept your role as the innocent.....

Hmmm... Sunny, mid-40s... Sounds like a good day for the Park. Possibly.

Last night, while we were at the store getting grub to eat (baby zucchini, plus some fresh ginger and lemon to flavor the rice - I'd already thawed the chicken breasts, which I breaded and pan-fried), der Brucer picked up a loaf of garlic bread. There was no way the garlic bread was going to go with last night's dinner, so I'll be toasting it up tonight.

Which means, I'll be doing Italian.

And I have no idea what I want to do, specifically.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #175 on:** February 28, 2007, 10:44:44 AM »

OK... I need to get away from the computer for a while... Maybe I'll go through a box or two... Or... Well...

In any case...

Laters...

DR RonP, re: IDOL.

The guy who you forgot is brandon (i think that is his name).He is black and very cute. And sang "time after time". I actually like him. I mean not as much as blake or chris r or chris s or phil. But he is so cute. ANd he has such nice stage presence. WAsn't he the back up singer who had worked with many professionals?
