They were replying to my "over-inflation" remark. I feel slightly insulted. Oh well. No more opinion sharing for me then. Hi Jess That's not an insult - this is an insult: One time I posted that I felt sad about Guy getting back with his old g/f. Quite innocent I thought. One guest asked did I honestly think I had a chance? Did I think Guy was going to go for me over his old g/f? Said I was deluded. Another guest completely ripped shit out of me saying I was Guy's number one stalker, that I probably went through his rubbish and that she wished she could be on the jury that would lock me up and throw away the key. I mean they really took the opportunity to jump on me when I was down. Hasn't stopped me voicing my feelings and opinions though. There's lots of cool people here with lots of different opinions. Which is what makes it interesting... SoC

[shadow=black,left,1000] ...Anyway, Jess, as far as American Idol goes...
Contestants: Some of the contestants have a bit of that American bravado. Doesn't bother me personally; just a difference in culture.
I don't think they are overly confident. I've seen their faces when they are about to receive the Judges' criticism. Many of them are looking pretty stressed out at this point.
And man, there's some wonderful singers! Bummer about Jennifer last week. I love her!
Judges: Paula's cool. Pretty supportive to the contestants which is good.
The one thing that annoys me about the show is Simon Cowell. He is an arrogant, nasty man. Goes out of his way to think up the cruellest things to say to people.
And then there's Randy ...ooo Randy! What a man! I love Randy's "AIIGHT"s and "YEAAAA-UH"'s.
In fact I love everything about Randy.
Randy's HOT, so very very HOT!

Noreggie, I wasn't insulted by your opinions, I was insulted by the "I don't feel all Aussies are like Jess." I took it as an insult as if to say that I'm some kind of disgrace to my nation. lol. Everyone is welcome to their opinion, I endorse discussion and debate -- youre not wrong for your opinions and I'm not wrong for mine. SoC-- that's pretty harsh! Thanks for sharing your opinions

Thanks for sharing your opinions That IS my opinion though ("I don't feel that all Aussies are like Jess"). For example, most Aussies that I have come in contact with here wouldn't say things like how much Randy irritates them because he is always yelling Yee-uh when another African American contestant comes on (see your first post). Most of the people that I have met here don't seem to consider race much at all. Also, Randy yelling "Ye-uh" just seems to be one of his irritating trademark words (sorry SoCrazy!) when he is excited and/or happy that someone has given a good performance (or, really, he justs uses this word ALL the time...for anything!!). Don't think race has anythng to do with it. Not sure why you connected the two things.

The big thing in Australia about Paula Abdul was her large thighs. It was in all the papers about how she was short and battled with her weight and large thighs. So we used to play a game called "spot Paula's thighs" cause in every video clip she would aways be wearins a loose short skirt to cover her thighs.

This thread's gone too far. Everyone is saying that they're entitled to their opinions. Unique Jess was voicing hers... its a forum ur supposed to say wat ur feeling. There is no need for every1 to gang up on her just because she might have said sumthing u didnt like. Plus the whole "dont worry not all aussies are like uniquejess" thing was just so uncalled for. No private digs... just respond to the comments made. Think about it - ur starting arguments with people u dont even know

Well, if there's an implication of me being racist, you couldn't be more wrong (and if not then I'm glad) ... but I'm not going to get in to it anymore. I respect your opinion. Let's leave it at that. LOL @ Thimble. Not nice. Don't diss short people

I think what Reggie was picking up on was that UniqueJess might have been accusing Randy of racism, not that UniqueJess was racist herself. We've had some crap being started up before by people posing as guests going on and on ad nauseum about Randy favouring the black singers. So that's why something like that gets picked up on (I picked up on it too). Sorry UniqueJess if that wasn't your intention! If it was, you can dig up the threads where we defended Randy UniqueShaz - It's called Saula and boy does it look like something was going on! ;D ;D But he's got a girlfriend. And thanks for your unique site... it's fantastic!

Think about it - ur starting arguments with people u dont even know If everyone is entitled to their opinion...then that includes me as well doesn't it? Jess, it wasn't a question about you in regard to racism...was an issue of why you made the race connection to Randy when he clearly yells "Ye-uh" for everything! That's all!! See Superc's post. Thanks Superc..yes..that is what I meant. Anyway, I don't know ya so how can I think you a racist? !!!! In my experience here I just don't find that Aussies connect things to race very much (which is refreshing!). Usually, I find that they take you for who you are as a person. And, I don't wanna talk about it anymore. I'd rather talk about Idol and stuff!! Anyway, Jess...here is an olive branch and a !! PS Idol Obsessed: I wasn't ganging up on anybody just stating my opinion so back off or else I'll give you a good ol Yankie Ghetto beat down!! ;D (just kidding about the latter part of the sentence! HeHe!!)
