Yesterday was one of the hardest days that I have been to myself. Why??? I went to a well known supermarket, I paid the cashier, and went home. It was a variety of items that I picked up from the store. When I was trying to clean up the junk on my purse, I glanced at the receipt I had. I do not know, but something told me to look at my receipt!!! Dingbat!!! Why did you not look at it when you were in the store??? I do not know! I was in la..la..land!!! Or blame it on the heat outside, my brain is fried!!! Fried brain!!!! I wonder how that taste??? Dip it in ketchup or ranch dressing???? You are sooo gross!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Are there brain on sale in some stores??? Yes, but I have not tasted it!!! Has anyone eaten it??? How was it??? Gross!!! Back to my receipt......I was sooo surprised when one item was rang not once, but twice by the cashier! That is right!!! The same item rang twice!!!! It was only $5.00 rang twice, but $5.00 is $5.00!!!! You are soo cheapo!!! Can you find $5.00 on the street??? Will someone give you $5.00 with no questions asked??? I rest my case!!! Anyway, what did you do when you found out about an extra $5.00 that was on your receipt?? I called up the store and told them what happened. The woman on the other line told me to just come in and go to customer service!!! At this time I was really upset with myself!!! Now I have to go back to the store! Oh,well, that is what you get for not paying attention!!!! I went there today and I explained what happened. I decided to return the item and I got my $10.00 back!!! I should be happy then. I was happy but then I had to make an effort to go to the store which is quite a distance from us! Thank goodness there was no line or I would have been cursing!!!! Just kidding!!!! No, you are not!!! I know you!!!! Oh,well. I should have learned my lesson already.
The other day I went to a grocery store, and I was gypped of $2.00 plus. I did not bother to go back and claim my $2.00 plus because of the hassle. My, my, my!!!! If there were a thousand customers that the grocery stores screw up for $2.00 per day, how much are they pocketing???? Customers like me will never learn, we are always in a hurry that we do not check the prices that we buy!!! Sometimes, I make a mental note. That is only sometimes!!!! It should be all the time!!!! Well, most of the time we are in a hurry. No excuses!!!! A little time taken might mean that you were not screwed with your money by the stores!!!! Talk about screw ups by stores! And I do not mean only the supermaket, or groceries, I also mean the fruit market and the stores with pharmacy!!!!
There was a time that I checked out from the store. I gave my money to the cashier, and she shortchanged me a lot!!! She told me that I gave her only $20.00, and not $50.00!!!! Do you think I budged from the line??? I know I am right, that I am not senile yet!!! Are you sure?? Ha! Ha! Ha! You are sooo crazy!!!! Of course I did not budge from the line!!!! I want my money!! I was really fuming, then, and if you can see me, I probably had smoke coming out of me from everywhere there was an opening in my body!! You are terrible!!!! Are you serious??? Hey, would you like to lose some money to someone you do not know??? What happened then??? The manager came out, took the cashiers box and they started reconciling the sale. Needless to say, I was right!!! I got my money back and an apology from the manager!!!
There was another instance that the cashier charge me $25.00 for an item that was only $2.50! What did I do??? It was a good thing that I knew how much my total should be. The cashier and I did not see the mistake when she was scanning the item!!! When she told me how much was the total, I was in horror!!! I knew what I bought!!! The next thing that happened was..... I poured the items in front of her and I looked for that item that was mis-scanned and presto!!!! there it was!!!! Years ago, there was a law that for every item incorrectly scanned, the store will pay $5.00!!!! Does anyone know if that is still in effect???
Lessons learned: Be very vigilant when you are checking out from the store!!! Make sure you are attentive to the amount of money you are giving to the cashier, and as much as possible, make a mental note of how much you are paying, so you are not overcharged!!!!! Every little amount of money counts, or should I say, every penny counts in this hard economy!!!!!

America's Got Talent, 07062010
I was going to take a day off from blogging but my sidekick would not let me! What are you talking about??? See what I mean!!!! You miss me, don't ya??? Miss me.... miss me...okay guys, continue with the melody and lyrics!!!!! I think that might have a tendency to be a number one on the billboard charts!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! You are crazy!!!!
After sooo much audition from all over the country, America's Got Talent finally arrived in Las Vegas!!!! It was held at Palms Resort and Casino, and seems the contestants were having a good time in the sin city gambling and looking at the sights!!! This is an elimination round and only 40 contestants will remain to go to Hollywood, the next stop!!!
The three judges were introduced by Nick Cannon, as usual, and Howie Mandell, Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan took turns speaking. The competitors were divided into three groups, Group A, Group B, and Group C. Group A has to compete to get a place in the 40 spots for the show in Hollywood, Group B, have to wait for Group A to finish. If there are remaining spots, it will be taken from Group B. Group C does not have to prove themselves in Las Vegas, they have earned their spots already and are on their way to Hollywood!!! They can just watch and enjoy themselves for now!!! That must have been quite a relief to the contestants belonging to Group C! Group C's auditions were very good that they are skipping Las Vegas, and I saw some in that group that were really, really good!!!
The performers were grouped together according to their talents, magicians, comic, harmonica, acrobats, singers, tenors, dancers, and dangerous acts, which I thought was brilliant. Some contestants talent delivery were worst in Las Vegas than where they auditioned originally. Could it be the tension and pressure??? You can surely bet on that! The performers were being watched not only by the judges and audience but also by their fellow contestants backstage on a television set!!! I thought that some picked their material rather wimpy! Like some singers, they sang songs that were not good! Their previous audition had a better wow factor!!! Didn't someone gIve them advise???? Or they thought their song choices were really good for them??
I thought some of the judges pick were outrageous, which included the hand whistler, and the old lady that sang and played the keyboard! How about the magician that was not really performing magic?? He was doing the simple act and telling the audience how it is being done!! He belongs to the comic team!!! The acts were supposed to be only for 90 minutes but the old lady performed for 10 minutes!!! Howie had to get her off the stage, and Piers walk out on her performance!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! How in the heck did she get through to the next phase???? You were laughing, so you know why!!!!! So the judges have something to laugh at!!! Besides, if they do not have these so-so entertainment, the show will not be as entertaining!!! There must be some crazy acts to get more viewers!!!! More viewers, more moolah!!!! Right??? You got it, kiddo!!!! Do not forget, this is show business!!! Anything to get more audience and more green bucks!!!!! Their acts are not really worth one million dollars but we are not the judges!!! If you do not like it, then do not watch it!!! But there are some genuinely unique acts and really worth the time to watch. So what do you do??? Just relax, watch and do not utter a single word!!! The judges have passed their verdicts and it stands for now!!! They will not last for more than one show in Hollywood!!!! Anyone care to bet????

Bachelorette, 07052010
Last night's Bachelorette was held in Lisbon, Portugal. There were only 5 bachelors left! Did Ali made a mistake to choose these 5 guys to stay??? Maybe, maybe not!!! She must have reasons that we do not know how these guys were chosen by her! We know that Roberto got the first impression rose, and she thinks that he has the "it " factor! How about the rest??? Maybe, she felt a strong connection with Frank because Frank left everything to live in Paris to write a screenplay!!! I thought he was there for a long time!!! No, sir!!! He was there for only 1 1/2 months!!!! There might have been some bachelors that she sent home that was more suited for her!!!! Oh, well, that was the past. There is no reason to cry over a spilled milk!!! Oh, oh!!! Is that a right thing to say in this instance?? Who knows and who cares??? I like to say that!!! Just keep quiet, will ya???
The first date was with Roberto. They started dancing on the street when Roberto heard the music. That is something else!!!! Dancing in the midst of people!!! That must have been embarrassing!!! You are just jealous because they got to dance on a busy street of Lisbon!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! You are right, although I think they looked ridiculous, it seems thay were having fun!!!! Who cares about the other people??? Don't you all agree??? Next they boarded an electric train and they were making out on the train!! The date looks very uneventful to me, so let us move to the next date!!
The next date was very akward, with Ty and Frank!!! I think Ali regretted this idea since she cannot talk freely with one without the other hearing what they will talk about!!! So, during dinner, Ali had to pull one at a time and leave the other one deserted and eat by himself!!! If that was me, I would have love that!!! I will have all the food by myself!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!! There you go again, talking about food! You are really hopeless!!! What did I think of the date??? Ho hum!!! Yawn!!!!I am geeting sleepy.
Next date was with Kirk. They were having a drink when a horse buggy came. They ended up on a Palace looking at the sunset. Then they were serenaded by a two man and a lady on the steps of the Palace. Nothing spectacular.
The last date was with Chris L. They had to ride a motorcycle, and Chris has never driven a motorcycle. They were sooo slow, and it was a good thing that they did not get into an accident!! Ali took over the driving and it was a smoother and faster driving!!! Has Ali driven a motorcycle before??? Who knows??? This shows that Ali is adventurous and wants to experience everything that comes her way! A very daring girl!!! Go, girl!!!! That was what I call fun!!! Chris must really like Ali, he gave her a bracelet!!!! How nice!!!!
This episode was one of the most dull and boring I have seen for a long time!! Why? Is it because Ali was not into a lot of kissing?That is good! She will not come down with mono!!! Lol. No, it seems this episode was missing something, even the contestants and Ali were not together, I think! I got it! The drama is gone, with Justin Rego, the wrestler gone!!! Or, maybe, the producers did it that way because they cut the Bachelorette half an hour earlier to interview Vienna and Jake!!! What??? Yes!!! But before we go to their interview, let me tell you who left! Okay, who left for good??? Ty!!!! Why??? Ask Ali!!!!
Wow!!! To cut the episode of Bachelorette to air an interview with Jake and Vienna!!! Well, they are the hottest names in splitsville right now. Too much drama, accusations and he said, she said!!!! Why wouldn't the producers take advantage of it??? To get more viewers!!! It was soo sad to see how these two were on camera. All Vienna can say is that Jake would not even kiss her unless she asks for it! The romance was really gone!!! Was there a romance to start with??? It might just have been lust!!! How about Jake?? You can see that he was really fuming inside! Whenever Jake started talking, Vienna would interrupt!!! He cannot put his 2 cents worth! It ended with Vienna crying and walking out on Chris and Jake!!!! Well, everybody knew that this relationship will not last. Vienna got his man amidst the controversy surrounding her while they were filming the Bachelor! Jake accomplished what he wants... stardom!!!! Now, please, the two of you, get yourself together, live peacefully and enough of this nonsense!!! What??? That will not be ala Hollywood style!!!!

Fourth of July Fireworks
The fireworks display last night from New York City along the Hudson River was spectacular that I had an urged to blog about it!!! My gosh!!! You are using the word "blog" now without hesitation!! You have come a long way baby!!! Although you still do not know many things about the computer, here you are blogging!!! You are past your 100 blog!!! Kudos to you!!! It seems you have graduated from kindergarten!!! That is right!!! But I still have a long way to go to master the ins and outs of the computer!!! Forget it kiddo, you are hopeless!!!! Sigh... Just stick to blogging!!! You are absolutely right!!!!
The Macy's 4th of July celebration in New York City was awesome! It was hosted by goofy Nick Cannon and Allison Sweeney. There were performances by the teen hearthrob Justin Bieber, Leann Rimes and Enrique Iglesias!!! With the addition of the celebrities,the extravaganza probably cost a lot!!! Who cares??? LOL... You are not paying for it, and the taxpayers are not paying for it........Macy's is footing the bill!!!! There were more than 40,000 shells from all over the world that went off over the Hudson River. It is thought to be the costliest and most explosive in the United States! It is the nation's largest display of pyrotechnic power! Wow!!! That is a new word, and a big word!!!! Pyrotechnic!!!! I am sooo surprised you can spell it!! Excuse me, I used to be good at spelling words!!! Used to be.... that is past tense!!! That means you are no longer good at it!!! Admit it!!! After all, you were the one who said "used to be!" You cornered me again!!! Why do I make my own hole??? Because you are a dingbat!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Enough of roasting me!!!! Roasting!!! You must be yummy with the skin ever sooo crunchy!!! Yikes!!! That is sooo gross!!! You are dreaming of food again, namely, the roast suckling pig!!! I am not a pig!!!! But on the other hand, That sounds soo good!!! Yum! Yum!!! Where can we get some???? You are so hopeless and pathetic!!!! That is why you are not losing weight!!! You are always thinking of food!!!! By the way, what does pyrotechnic means??? Go to the dictionary!!! Ha! Ha! You thought I will tell you the meaning??? Surprise!!! I was just testing you since you are using that word, you should know what it means!!! Okay, you asked for it!!! Pyrotechnic is the science of materials capable of undergoing self-contained and self-sustained exothermic chemical reactions for the production of light, heat gas, smoke and sound!!! Goodness gracious!!! How on earth did you memorize all that??? Are you impressed?? Yu think I am that smart??? Yes!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!! Are you crazy?? Do you think I can memorize all that?? I I am sorry to disappoint you, I copied it from the dictionary!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! I am smart, indeed, my butt!!!! To say it in plain English........... flashes, smoke flames, explosives or fireworks used in entertainment industry is referred to as pyrotechnic special effects!!! There, are you satisfied now??? Now, you know what pyrotechnic means!!! It will pop up again same time next year!!!!
The fire works that lit up the sky were really magnificent, accompanied by symphony music!!!! I liked especially the glowing red circle with a blue ring around it, the huge fireball, and a smiling face! Yup, a smiling face lit up the sky, 2 dots for the eyes and a line turned upward for the smile!!! That is soo amazing!!! Aaaahhhh!!! Technology!!!!
There were fireworks all over America last night, including our neighborhood!!! The fireworks that lit up the sky started at 8:00 pm and lasted until around midnight!!! Needless to say, last night was a sleepless night, not only due to the sounds of fireworks but also the heat wave that is in very many places, including ours! Wow!!! That is 90 degrees and that temperature is supposed to be until Tuesday!!! My, my, my!!!! What a hot, blistering, awesome, spectacular 4th of July!!!!!

Frozen Dairy Products
There are so many frozen dairy products in the market today that consumers have an awful time deciding which ones to buy!!! What are you talking about?? Look at the freezers in the grocery stores... how many different frozen dairy products do you see??? A lot!!! Right!!! There are tons and tons of items, be it regular or diet!! The temptation is sooo great that to bypass the freezer aisle is a plus when you are shopping!!! Can you imagine, you did not succumb to temptation to buy those ever sooo good and yummy treats! And when you are driving, all you can imagine are those very enjoyable treats!!!! Did you succeed?? Only for a day or two!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy!!!! That seems to have a good ring to it..... wimpy, wimpy, wimpy.... Anyone care to put a melody to it???
Let us get serious for a second. Too late, your second is up!! No more!! How did I ever get you to be a sidekick? You are hopeless!!! Your jokes are nothing to be desired!!! Oh, oh, do you think you hurt my feelings? No, sire!!! I have broad shoulders! If your shoulders are broad, can you carry me on your shoulder and spin around??? Then, I will say, Yippeeee.... hi, ho.... silver!!!! That will really be fun!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Excuse me, I am not a horse!!! See, I went off again from my topic! It is fun exchanging punches with you!!! What punches??? I am not near you!!!! I give up!!! Yakity... yakity... yak.... one, two, three... time is up!!!!! Whew!!!! What a ham!!! Did you say ham??? Is the ham honey roasted??? Yum ! Yum! Yum!!!! Never mind, I will not utter another word!!! You are something else!!!! I surrender!!!! If you are surrendering, how come I do not see a white flag with you??? Because I do not have time to make one!!!! Get it???? Wow!!!! I finally got to you!!!! One point for me!!! Hurray!!!!!That was fun!!!!
July!!! What about July??? Did you know that besides being the month of America's birthday, it is also the National Ice Cream month??? Great!!! That is a good excuse to eat lots and lots of ice cream!!!! There are many variations of ice cream, one of them the Sorbet.
What is a Sorbet? It is a frozen dessert made from sweetened water flavored with fruit, which is either juice or puree, chocolate, wine or liqueur. The origin is either Roman or middle Eastern. In other words, it is like a snow cone or shaved ice??? Right!!!! I learn something new everyday!!!!
Sherbet!!! Sherbet is a fruity flavored dairy product with a milk fat content of less than 3 %. It must include dairy ingredients such as milk or cream. It is smoother, closer to ice cream!!!! Why don't you just say, it is ice cream with less fat and calories??? Simple and sweet!!!! You got that right!! LOL.
Gelato! What the heck is Gelato?? Sounds like something from the unknown!!! You are really ninkampoop!!! Have you ever been to Italy and saw all those people lining up to get a Gelato, even in the middle of winter??? That is right!!! We heard a lot about Gelato that we stood up in line in February, and sat outside the cafe to lick the Gelato from the cone!!! I was going to say Yum! Yum! but I cannot!!! Why?? I was not pleased with it because I was freezing to death eating a Gelato, outside!! Yes, it was one of the coldest day in Rome!!! Brrrrrr.... We must be crazy or what? Well, you want to do everything, and you listened to the saying, " When in Rome, do what the Romans do!" My companions, though, were really enjoying their Gelato!! Oh, oh, how many times have I mentioned Gelato in this paragraph? Too many times!!!! You must really, really like it!!!! Ya!!!! By now, you probably know that Gelato ( 9th time the word Gelato has come up!!! whoopee do!!!), is Italy's variation of ice cream!!! It has the same ingredient as the ice cream except unlike the commercial ice cream in the United States which is frozen in a continuous assembly of line freezer, Gelato (11th time) is frozen very quickly in individual small batches in a batch freezer! Gelato ( 12th time) has a lower butter fat content, 4-8 % versus 14 % for ice cream!!! Stop!!! B....o...r...i...n...g!!!! I cannot take it anymore!!! I can only digest soooo much material at one time!!!! But if it is food, you can go on and on eating!!!! That is sooo different and more palatable, not only to my eyes perspective but also to my mouth and stomach!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Don't you all agree???
Now, let us tackle the ice cream!!! What is there to tackle??? You already basically said what can be said!!!! Besides, at this point, who cares???? Everybody loves ice cream, diet or no diet!!! The only thing left to say is how do you choose which flavor to get??? I think I am done blabbing for now, I will tackle that some other time!!!! Agreed???
Come on, guys, let us go and get an ice cream cone!!!!! Have fun, and God bless each and everyone of us!!!!!!

Sherbet!!! Sherbet is a fruity flavored dairy product with a milk fat content of less than 3 %. It must include dairy ingredients such as milk or cream. It is smoother, closer to ice cream!!!! Why don't you just say, it is ice cream with less fat and calories??? Simple and sweet!!!! You got that right!! LOL.
Gelato! What the heck is Gelato?? Sounds like something from the unknown!!! You are really ninkampoop!!! Have you ever been to Italy and saw all those people lining up to get a Gelato, even in the middle of winter??? That is right!!! We heard a lot about Gelato that we stood up in line in February, and sat outside the cafe to lick the Gelato from the cone!!! I was going to say Yum! Yum! but I cannot!!! Why?? I was not pleased with it because I was freezing to death eating a Gelato, outside!! Yes, it was one of the coldest day in Rome!!! Brrrrrr.... We must be crazy or what? Well, you want to do everything, and you listened to the saying, " When in Rome, do what the Romans do!" My companions, though, were really enjoying their Gelato!! Oh, oh, how many times have I mentioned Gelato in this paragraph? Too many times!!!! You must really, really like it!!!! Ya!!!! By now, you probably know that Gelato ( 9th time the word Gelato has come up!!! whoopee do!!!), is Italy's variation of ice cream!!! It has the same ingredient as the ice cream except unlike the commercial ice cream in the United States which is frozen in a continuous assembly of line freezer, Gelato (11th time) is frozen very quickly in individual small batches in a batch freezer! Gelato ( 12th time) has a lower butter fat content, 4-8 % versus 14 % for ice cream!!! Stop!!! B....o...r...i...n...g!!!! I cannot take it anymore!!! I can only digest soooo much material at one time!!!! But if it is food, you can go on and on eating!!!! That is sooo different and more palatable, not only to my eyes perspective but also to my mouth and stomach!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Don't you all agree???
Now, let us tackle the ice cream!!! What is there to tackle??? You already basically said what can be said!!!! Besides, at this point, who cares???? Everybody loves ice cream, diet or no diet!!! The only thing left to say is how do you choose which flavor to get??? I think I am done blabbing for now, I will tackle that some other time!!!! Agreed???
Come on, guys, let us go and get an ice cream cone!!!!! Have fun, and God bless each and everyone of us!!!!!!

July 4, 2010
Tomorrow is July 4th. We are celebrating the birthday of the United States of America!!!! Hep! Hep! Hurray!! That is really good, since it falls on a Sunday, we will have Monday off!!! We all can take it easy and sleep late on Monday!!!! Yippeee!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Are we going to have a red, white and blue cake to feed our face??? What are you talking about??? We are talking about America's Independence Day, and all you can think off is a day off and a red, white and blue cake!!!! You are hopeless!!! At least I am patriotic!!!! How??? Did I not say red, white and blue cake??? You are sooo craaaazzzzzyyyy!!!!
What is the meaning of July 4th to you??? Goodness, gracious!!! We are not in school!!!! Leave the history and other blah! blah! blah! of this day to the kids in school!!!! What do you think guys? Never mind, do not answer!! Keep quiet, whether you like it or not, I will say something!!! Oh, oh!!! Kidding aside, we should be very thankful to the very courageous leaders of this great country to have the balls ( Oh, oh, can I say this here?? Too late!!!) to go up to the powers of the Kingdom of Great Britain and tell them that they want to be independent!!! What does independence means?? To be able to make your own rules and be able to provide and take care of yourself and be free!!!! Wow!!! That must have been really scary for these people to approach the leaders of the governing country for independence!! It must have taken them much effort and perseverance to get Great Britain to grant them the independence they were asking!! They should be applauded!!! Do you know how long it took them to persuade Great Britain to get their independence? No, I do not. I was not there, that was a very, very long time ago!!! I was not born yet!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ask the history buffs!!!! Any comments????
Thomas Jefferson authored the Declaration of Independence, and on July 4, 1776, the United States got its Independence!!! The courage and persistence of our forefathers paid off. That must have been quite a day when the men signed the declaration paper!!! Did you know that the two founding fathers of the United States, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, became the only two men that signed the declaration and became president??? Both of them died on July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the United States. What a coincidence!!!!
We are ever sooo thankful of our freedom that is unheard of in other countries!! That is why, thousands leave their homeland to come to the United States!!! We are the land of the free, the home of the brave and the land of opportunity. A very diverse population that is trying to live their American dream!!!!
How do people celebrate?? Fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games and other festivities!!! There are numerous fireworks display all over the country, including New York City, Chicago, San Diego, Boston and other cities that is too numerous to list!!!
Did you know that the annual Windsor- Detroit International Freedom Festival in Detroit, Michigan is one of the world's larget fireworks display? It is held yearly at the Detroit River to celebrate America's Independence Day, in conjunction with Windsor, Ontario's celebration of Canada Day!!!!
It is now the year 2010, 234 years since the Declaration of Independence. Those are a lot of years that the United States had been basking in glory, and enjoying the freedom that our founding fathers fought hard and died for!!! Let us hope and pray to God that our country will see and enjoy many, many more years of freedom and independence that we have known all of our lives!!!! Let us hope and pray that our leaders will be guided with the right decisions to keep America, the beautiful, a safe, free and independent country that many are jealous of!!! Let us hope and pray that God will always bless America, all its citizens, and the whole world!!! Let us hope and pray that there will be will be peace on earth!!!
Be safe whatever and however you are celebrating this day!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA!!!!!

So You Think You Can Dance, 07012010
There were only 9 competitors left in So You Think You Can Dance!!! There was another dancer that said goodbye to the show!!! Can you tell us who it was?? Do you care to guess? Here you are again... a question answered by a question!!!! I will never learn!!! Sigh... You have to wait for a little bit! Don't you remember that patience is a virtue??? Ha! Ha!
Let us start with Cat Deeley. She is a tall, beautiful emcee!! It is sooo cute when she say " judges" in her British accent!!!! Have you guys noticed it too??? Let us go to the judges, namely, Adam Shankman, Mia Michaels, and Nigel Lythgoe. First of all, what happened to the other judge, Mary Murphy??? I have not seen her at all since the start of the show!!!! Did Nigel fire her??? I miss her loud mouth and boisterous laugh!!! What do you guys think??? Should she come back??? I see many hands that are up!!! Unfortunately, it is not up to us, but to Nigel, the producer of the show!!!!
What is this about the judges, being too harsh and criticizing the dancers too much, week after week??? True, constructive criticism is a must to grow up professionally, but the words should not sting them or bite them sending them to bits and pieces in front of millions of viewers!!! Do the judges think they are superior, because they are the judges??? They forgot to be human, and treat people like dirt??? Phew!!!! Shame on you judges!!!! You do not have to be mean to get your message across the competitors!!!! These people are not 6 year old kids that it seems you are given them a scolding like their parents when they were younger!!!! These dancers are adults, like you!!! Or maybe, you are treating them like that because when you were trying to make a name in the industry, you suffered public humiliation from someone?? If that is the case, you should know not to do that!!! Show to the world that you are a better person than the one who offended you!!! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! What a speech!!! I did not know you have that in you!!!! Wow!!! Magnificent!!! Amazing!!! Wonders never cease!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I give credit to these awesome dancers, not only do they have to learn something new outside of their comfort zones, but they have to perform in front of America!!!! They must be nervous, excited, awestruck or pumped up to get the opportunity of a lifetime! We get it, it looks like you already listed all the adjectives in the dictionary!!! LOL. No, not all, do you want some more words??? Never mind!!!!
How about the costumes of the dancers?? That must be quite an experience for them also... the wardrobe fitting, hair do, makeup and photo shoots!!! They get a taste of the celebrity life!!! How about that???? That in itself is already a winner experiencing all of these things!!!
How about the choreography that the dancers has to learn week after week??? That is a hard feat to do especially if you are used to a particular dance move only!!! Hats off to these dancers to learn it in such a short time!!!! Why are the choreographed dance mostly have sexual innuendoes in them??? Well, sex sells!!! And it is supposed to be an adult world! How about children watching the show??? Ha!!! Now, I got you!!! You are speechless, which is very rare!!! What do you want to see? Dancing just the waltz??? Ha!!! That is not what people want to see! Thay want to see an expression of something created and interpreted though dance moves!!! I could not believe I said that!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Sounds good anyway!!! Right???
Some performances were really good, Alex Wong, with his Hip Hop routine. He can really move and jump!!! He also has a very good stage presence!!! Is this because he is a professional ballet dancer??? That helps!!! But he is also learning outside the box!!! Hip Hop is not his forte, nor any of the dances, but he can tackle them with gusto and determination! I hope to see him at the very top!!!! Jose Ruiz did the samba which was not very good, but the judges had good praises for him!!! Is it because of his braids???? Ha! Ha! Ha! You are soo crazy!!
The bottom three were Robert Roldan ( again!!!), Billy Bell, and Melinda Sullivan ( again!!!). Do you think that somehow, the judges remarks have swayed some of the votes??? Who knows?? When Robert, Billy and Melinda did their solo, I knew that Melinda was a goner. She did her tap dance again!!! There was nothing special, and it seems that she does not want to step outside of her tap dancing!! The viewers were right this time!!!! But, lo and behold, Mia should not have said to Melinda that she regretted her decision to keep her last week instead of Christina!!! What a stupid, inconsiderate remark!!! That was uncalled for, Mia Michaels!!!! Boy!!! I applaud this contestants for having a thick skin for just taking in the nasty, harsh remarks in front of millions of viewers!!! Melinda, you are a sweetheart. You showed Mia Michaels that you are one heck of a trooper, a very professional one!!!!! Good luck to you!!! And to Mia Michaels and the other judges, be considerate of the feelings of your dancers! Constructive criticism is good, but it does not have to be mean and harsh!!!!!
