American Idol's SANJAYA MALAKAR: Hot or Not??

isateresa @isateresa (59) • Philippines 17 Mar 07

People in forums have been ranting about the fact that Sanjaya Malakar is still on the running to be the next "American Idol". Avid fans of the show say that more talented contestants are being "booted out" in favor of Sanjaya,...

DayDreamBeliever I think Sanjaya will not make it much longer. I believe it is all the teenie boppers who are keeping him in, but soon he will go. I had high hopes for him prior to him making it into the top 12, but now think he is not good enough to make it far as a singer -...

Who was Your Favorite Idol Last Night?

whiteheather39 @whiteheather39 (24403) • United States 21 Mar 07

For the first time Lakeisha was not my favorite Melinda was. I was also in agreement with Simon is she as sweet as she seems? I really like her demure she does not seem the least bit flashy or pushy. Who did you like the...

DayDreamBeliever Melinda Doolittle is always my favorite. I thought the little girl was cute - so excited to be there she was emotionally drained. I was glad Sanjaya gave her a hug, but now we need to give him the boot! I thought both Lakisha and Sanjaya should have...

Absolutely not. But one of a new members just asked me whether he can earn $2000-$3000 every month, I then reply him it is even hard to earn few cents, and he told me that his referrals told him he can earn like $2000 every...

DayDreamBeliever I have not been active here yet because I am so frustrated at the no copy/paste thing. I have tons of material I could submit - stories, articles, poems, but until I can copy/paste, I cannot do a whole lot. Coming up with new material and typing it directly...

Do you think you are a GOOD WRITER?

ichurn @ichurn (611) • Philippines 21 Mar 07

Writing is not that easy. For some people, they find it hard as compared to talking. Some are optimistic in writing. They say that the more they write, the better it is. Hence, practice makes perfect. What about you? Do you...

DayDreamBeliever Top four for me would be: Melinda, Lakesha, Jordin, Blake. I love Melinda's personality and her singing is always on a differnt level than the rest. Lakesha has a great voice, but I think Melinda will edge her out. Jordin is awesome and has a huge future ahead...

DayDreamBeliever Top Four - Melinda, Lakisha, Jordin, and Blake. I too was more impressed with this week's show, but laughed over the song choices - not that they were particularly bad, but for so long the Idol producers have wanted to have Beatles songs, and when they...

Holy smokes! Sanjaya pulls through another week!

katisaurus @katisaurus (1038) • Canada 21 Mar 07

I'm not TOO surprised this time, he wasn't THAT bad last night, but, I still think he needs to go unless he sings like that for the rest of the competition. What do you think?

DayDreamBeliever I agree - He was better yesterday, but Stephanie was a favorite of mine and I would have loved for her to stay. There is always a few good ones let go too soon. She is definiately in that category.

Do long distance relationships work?

jenseyedea @jenseyedea (579) • United States 21 Mar 07

DayDreamBeliever Jenseyedea, A few years ago I would have said, yes, they can work out. Now, I say, be careful. This is true of any relationship - but the man I met online, fell in love with, moved to California for, turned out to not be who I thought he was. I feel that...

DayDreamBeliever I have been feeling the same way - but there are a few really great talents this year - Lakisha and Melinda for sure. I still have funny Valentine in my head. But otherwise, it has been a somewhat lackluster year. I'm not giving up yet, though, and will heep...

DayDreamBeliever Congratulations! Your work is beautiful. Gourds make me think of my grandparents who passed away last year. They hada farm and gourds were plentiful there. My Grandma sometimes painted them, but they also enjoyed displaying the ones with unusual shapes. I...

Where do you get your favorite patterns?

shirgie @shirgie (230) • United States 1 Dec 06

When I crochet, I am always hunting for the perfect pattern. I guess I am hard to please because if it is easy enough for me to do (intermediate crocheter at least) then I generally don't care for the pattern. I don't like to...

most amusing thing that your cat does or has done

DayDreamBeliever My cat, Carolina, is what we call a Calico Retriever. She likes to play with the milk rings (the safety rings from gallons of milk). We can toss it and she tries to catch it in mid air. Sometimes she jumps really high or does flips trying to catch it. She is...

Kntting with different "yarn"

peavey @peavey (16936) • United States 7 Feb 07

DayDreamBeliever I have never been a great knitter, but I am good at chocheting. I love to use different yarns, but none like you mention here. Once you learn to crochet, it really is much easier than knitting. I wish I lived near you - I would help you learn. If you do make...

DayDreamBeliever I was surprised. I hope Antonella goes home soon. I was also surprised by Kelly Pickler's new look. Sort of Dolly Parton/Marilyn Monroe combo that did not work for her. I thought it was funny that she did not catch Ryan's meaning when he asked her what she had...
