I'm not talking about artificial intelligence, and I'm also not talking about that speilberg movie :)  I'm talking about... what else!  American Idol!!!

So this year I'm into it more than before because my BIL is doing an AI Fantasy League :-D  We each got to pick 4-8 people (they were all priced based on Vegas odds and we had 100$ to "buy" them).  Then each week they make it through we get points.  So now I'm actually watching for a reason :-D

Right now they are doing the first top 12 and saying which 3 made the show.  It's down to 2 left - Danny Gorkey and Tatiana.... and now it's at commercial.  All I gotta say is if Tatiana makes it through over Danny, then I'll be so ticked.  I hope America voted for the one with more talent instead of the one with the screw loose!

Thank God Tatiana lost. Yay! My family doesn't have an AI Fantasy League, but we try to pick who is going to be picked off/whose going to stay each week. We had picked Alexis Grace, Ricky Braddy, and Danny Gorkey for the Top 3. Well, Ricky didn't make it, Michael Sarver did.

Since DWTS starts March 9, I will have to DVR something I think.

Ricky Braddy was in my "league", I still have hope he will make it through the Wild Card round b/c the judges liked him a lot.  Danny Gorkey is picked by almost everyone in my league!  My BIL (who started the league) keeps joking he should take all of our money (it cost 10$ each to participate) and start a Danny Gorkey fan club :-D

I have to DVR a lot, kris!  I DVR.... AI, Top Model starts soon, Survivor, Amazing Race, Bachelor, and Biggest Loser... so I usually dont DVR DWTS and instead just try to watch it.

Reviewer11 I gave up on AI a few years ago b/c I got bored with it.  For some reason this season I WANTED to watch and did catch a few episodes.  Now that we have this league, I feel like i MUST watch and MUST vote for the people that I am routing for so I can win :-D  I guess if you add gambling, any TV show becomes more fun.

Maybe we should do a DWTS league on VP ;)

We saw the last few minutes the other night and I was so glad that's all we saw.  I think there were only 2 that I heard that sounded any good.  I know it's still early and all but wow.

I usually don't watch this part at all... only reason I am now is to make sure I get my votes in for my people :)  But I agree, there weren't many good ones.  I do have faith in the top 12 though b/c I like a lot of the singers and think in the end we will have a really good 12.

I'm mostly hoping for some variety - enough of this Pop or R&B music.  Let's get some alternative or rock in there :)

I said Danny, Rosie (is that her name) and I thought Adoop. I got 2 out of the 3. Rosie is very good. I'm not impressed Michael at all. I hope I have this straight!

I'm already picking a winner.  Danny Gorkey, or as I call him, Robert Downey Jr., Jr.   Best singer on AI in years.  Period.

Oh my he does look like him, I just never got 2 and 2 together.  He is very good but some people dislike him just b/c of the "hype" which isn't fair.

Jo, it was Danny, Alexis and Michael that made it through.

Right but Alexis is who I meant - the blonde with the pink hair and the dad with the long hair (hubby has  long hair so no judgment being made.

I too agree. I read that some people think he's playing the pity card. I just think his life has made him a better singer!

Danny ... I know him from church.  He's just a nice guy and I wish him the very best.  He's #1 in my book!

I don't think it's fair when ppl say he's playing the pity card or that anyone is fr that matter b/c you know AI purposely focuses on the hardships of each contestants life.  Every season I've said that it seems ever contestant has some issues in their life... one will have lost a wife, another a dad, another came from the projects and had to drive 30 miles to audition, etc etc. 

So it's not fair when ppl say he's playing the pity card b/c he's not.. AI is playing the pity card to get viewers.

Danny seems nice, I put Adam Lambert first on my list:)

Ditto Adam Lambert - he's amazing - and so very talented. I happened to have liked his rendition of - I can't even think of it- they thought it was weird except Randy J. said it was hip and like 9 inch nails (or whatever the heck their name is). I'm dating myself!!
