“The Boy’s Club”

Tonight started off with the group preforming “School’s Out” with Slash.  Then Ryan talked with the four finalists about last night’s performances.  Danny joked about his “Friday the 13th” impersonation of Steven Tyler.  Allison laughed about her talking back to the judges and Kris looked back by saying his is surprised to have made it this far.

With much anticipation we sat through Paula’s debut of her single “I am just here for the Music.”

.

Then we got a show from No Doubt with their performance of “Just A Girl.” Gwen Stefani got into it as usual, even doing some push-ups.

And then Ryan announces that Kris Allen is the first one in the Top 3?!?!?!

Still biting my nails………………..

Season-Five-fourth place finisher Chris Daughtry along with his band, debuted their new single “No Surprise.”  Chris reminisced about his last stand on American Idol.  Remembering it clearly but claiming he was over it in like “30-seconds.”

After receiving kudos from all judges Adam Lambert joins Kris Allen.  We are then left with Danny Gokey and Allison Iraheta in the bottom two.  And “you, Danny Gokey are…………safe!!!!

Even with tears rolling down her checks during an astounding  good bye performance of “Cry Baby”(how ironic) Allison still entertained the judges!

And then there were three!!!!  After more than 6o million votes and for the second year in a row we are left with just males.  “The boy’s club” consists of Danny, Adam, and Kris.

So who will be the final two?

Paula Abdul finally admits to addiction!

After 12 years of addiction and use of pain meds Paula Abdul, who turns 47 this month, is no longer dependent on pain medication.  In a recent issue of Ladies’ Home Journal Paula tells about her addiction and dependency as well as describing the withdrawal process which she begin around Thanksgiving of last year when she check her self into a La Costa Resort and Spa, in Carlsbad, CA..  Paula explains:

“I could have killed myself . . . Withdrawal — it’s the worst thing. I was freezing cold, then sweating hot, then chattering and in so much pain, it was excruciating. But at my very core, I did not like existing the way I had been.”

It was quite obvious by her actions over the years that there was something just not right with Paula.  Her slurring of words, outbursts, melt-downs, and dazed and confused episodes.  I am glad that she has finally been able to overcome such a horrific situation that many can’t even admit to.

Her issues began at 17 when she was a cheerleader and suffered some injuries of which she refused to have surgery.  Then in 1991 she broke her leg during a dance routine and then a car accident a year later.  In 1993 the saga continued.  Paula was in an airplane crash that left her partially paralyzed and this required her to have 15 spinal surgeries.  She still continued with her performances using addictive painkillers and Chinese medicine to  try to relieve her pain.  Then in 2005, Paula was diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome which caused her to use a highly potent   pharmaceutical patch along with muscle relaxers and nerve pills.

Paula denies that she ever did an episode of American Idol “high”, claiming that her “weird” and “loopy” comments are more of a result from sleepless nights from the chronic pain.
