@DuneVee @DuneVee I've had a lot of difficult circumstances and I never resorted to stealing someone's laptop. I'd also like to add that he didn't shoplift from a big corporate-owned store (not that I'm condoning that), he stole from a student/fellow choir mate. That's personal and sleezy. Dude was at a church choral event... if he needed assistance (emotional, financial, spiritual) he was in the right place to ask.
The "Praise Jesus" type of reactions from the judges after Curtis' performance last night did me in. I wasn't digging that one bit. In fact, it was a huge turn-off and very alienating to me. Honestly, it makes me think that all a contestant has to do is sing a pitchy, screechy gospel song or any God-lifts-me-up ballad and American Idol judges will fall all over themselves to give that person high marks. I'd really love for these judges to keep their religious bias to themselves. Otherwise drop the pretense and rename the show Christian Idol.
Bieber looks like he'd blow over if you sneezed his direction. He reminds me of my Chihuahua -- just a little thing with zero bite... but he thinks he's one of the big bad dogs.
I trust my gaydar way more than I trust a Fox publicity dept-controlled comment and romance. Not buying this one at all. I'll accept he's her boy friend, but not boyfriend.
But she had no problem, I'm sure, with Colton Dixon performing while on his knees or Justin Bieber's Jesus tattoos or the Jonas Brothers Christian beliefs. This lady is so twisted up inside her own colon...er... religion, she's lost sight of where her beliefs are meant to lead her. Ugly, ugly, ugly mentality and very small-minded.
But yes, the nip looks a bit left of center. My immediate reaction was that the nip was too high, actually. The lighting probably is to blame among other "natural" factors. I don't think it's photoshopped, but I sure wouldn't put it past someone to create a deliberate wardrobe malfunction. You aren't anyone until you've had your nip slip on TMZ.
Looks like what might happen if you tape your boobs -- taped to push them together for lift and cleavage. The boobs stay in one place, while the clothing/bodice moves left to right and up and down with her natural movements. So the bodice went one way while the boobs stayed in place. Even without taping, I've worn similar corseted underwire tops (in my younger years) that had zero flexibility. Very easy to pop out and have a nip slip in something like that.
I swear... one of these days I'm going to pull my elastic waistband "mom pants' down to my groin so the world can see my Kmart cotton briefs with comfort band. Maybe start a whole new fashion trend among middle-aged and older women. Would that finally be enough to stop guys from showing us their freakin' underwear? 'Cuz man, I see Bieber's designer drawers and I can't help but imagine urine stains and skid marks. That's what happens when you've laundered male clothes for decades -- it ruins the illusion. Hahaha.
@Mikhail XO Frankly, I'm concerned that Rickey didn't obtain a personal statement -- with official seal -- from someone on the Joint Chiefs of Staff . Without that, I'm going to have to believe (as any reasonable patriot would) that Tim Poe is America's greatest hero. Shoddy work, Rickey.
@amandanoa Britney and Xtina both survived The Mickey Mouse Club to become massive stars. The training they received during their Disney stint was "boot camp" for their future careers. Rachel will be a better performer, a stronger woman, because of her Nic time, I have no doubt. Throwing this kid into the music industry, straight from X-Factor, would have been tragic. She needs time to mature, to lose the precocious kid vibe, to develop as a real artist. She might actually go somewhere... rather than just "peak" at 14. That said, if I see another one of these duckface 80's-clothing portrait shots from her, I'm going to give up all hope.
Tell me she's not giving us duck face.
What's with the "aw shucks" clothes and coy looks? I don't have a problem with his singing (although it is a bit one-dimensional), I'm just really turned off by the yee-haw meets margueritaville costuming. I also can't help but think if Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel had a baby... it would look like this kid.
