Choppin' Competition #42 - (A Whole New SAAB) Voting

Yeah, I talked to many other people who were on Carnival, and they also said Royal Caribbean was better. I'm interested in trying Carnival, though, for comparison.

I was just on the western cruise on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Mariner of the Seas. This was my 2nd time on this ship, as well as my second cruise, and I had a blast, what with the amazing shows/performances, entertainment, appearence, crew,ect. Has anyone been on this ship before? To give further details, it has a miniature golf course, basketball area, rock climbing wall, five-story theater, ice-skating rink, three-four pools, four+ hot tubs,........ I went to Labadee, Haiti (Royal Caribbean's private island). My excursions were the AquaPark and the Waverunner tour. Next was Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and I climbed the Dunns falls (you hold hand and climb this MASSIVE waterfall, while water gushes and whips at you. Third was Grand Cayman, where I took a Jeep Wrangler tour, and went crazy. My final destinaition, and my eprsonal favorite, was Cozumel, Mexico. Beautiful water, numerous shops. I swam with dolphins and snorkeled there. Celebrating the 4th of July on the ship was cool, too with two seperate parties, and red-white-and blue streamers and baners in the Royal Promenade. Have any of you had good expereices with this ship or Royal Caribbean?

matt41 replied to Flybrian's topic in Choppin' Competitions
I had the same idea, but you beat me to it. Honestly, this is 1000x better than the Buicaab Enclave. Good job! My similar entry is coming up, just finished the other day, though not nearly as phenomenal as Gizhost's Opel-Saturn twin. Mine is also based on a past Sab concept. OK, now you're probably thiniking Aero-X. WRONG! I hope tyo have it up tonight. -

So expressing my opinion is chick-like?

First of all, I would have had Blake go home during the Bee Gee's week. Then, I'd have sent LaKisha home, leaving Jordin and Melinda going head-to-head in the finale. Who could have won between them, I would not care. Melinda has more experience and a larger vocal range than Jordin, although they both have incredible voices. Melinda might have had the better voice, though. Jordin has a younger presence, and still a phenomenal voice for 17 years old. SHe is more current than Melinda, though. Either of them woudl work, so Jordin's victory was well-earned. Now, regarding the actual Top 4.... LaKisha had the ability to stay another week, so I wasn't thrilled tos ee her leave. She wasn't her best that week, but everyone knows she has astounding vocals. Melind aelimineted in the Top 3??!! I was surprised and disappointed with the results, and really hated Blake for passing her, considering it was a Whitney Housten-to-Sanjaya Malakar comparison when discussing Melinda and Blake. Thank God Jordin won!! Finale........ Blake on YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME: Beatboxing was not neccesary. For crying out loud, it is a singing competition, not American Beatboxer or whatever, AMerican Idol!! I thought it was better than how he performed in on Bon Jovi week, butr still sucked. He practically has no vocal range, or so it seems in comaprison to Jordin perforimg Fighter. Jordin on FIGHTER: Blew me away, a 17 year old singing Christina Aguilara and mastering it during an American Idol finale just stunns me, and shoud send a signal saying Jordin deservered the title, hands down. Blake on SHE WILL BE LOVED: Horrendous. Not a good song choice for him. His falsetto is crap (Ace Young's is great). Jordin on A BROKEN WING: Yet again, fantastic. See Fighter for comments. Blake on THIS IS MY NOW: My favorite of his for the night, althought it's not is knd of song. Actually, it was a bit awkward. It was just OK. Didn't show any emotion. Jordin on THIS IS MY NOW: DO I even need to say the works? Even 'Blakers' should have been stunned and nervous. She had me going right at "There was a time....I packed my dreams away......" Fantastic, should win just becuase of that performance, and even if (hypethetically) her other performances was crap, which they were not close to, althoguh Blake's were. Congrats, Jordin! Can't wait for your single/album! AUDIO/VIDEO JORDIN: http://www.jordin-fan.net/Media/Videos.php AUDIO/VIDEO BLAKE: http://www.blakelewisfans.org/wmv/AI/

Well, I did. I must say, I was/am pissed, dissapointed, extremely shocked (yet slightly expected based off of how people vote, but never actally expected it.) For those of you who do watch American Idol and missed the show: Melinda Doolittle was dismissed. For those who don't: Melinda Doolittle is a 29-year-old (previous) backup singer. She has gone throughout the entire competition with only one 'not-so-hot' comment. Other than that, she was unbelievable! I honestly am really hating Blake, considering that he was the reason Melinda left, and here is the reason: Blake is from Seattle, and beatboxes. His town is obviously well-know and has a large population. So they all vote for him. Next, teenage girls around America vote because they think he's hot! Now, the show's a freakin' popularity contest and looks competition, not a singing one! Otherwise, Melinda would have went through to the finale, and probably would have won! EVEN SIMON WASN"T HAPPY! He said he wanted a spot for 'HIS GIRL, MELINDA'. The show is now very disappointhing. Sure, they were great disappiontments (at least to me) when Jennifer Hudson, Mandisa, Nadia Turner, and Ayla Brown were dismissed, but by far, Melinda's was the most unexpected and unwanted. Oh, and by the way, so non-viewers can feel and hear the surprise.... The final 3 were Melinda Doolittle, Blake Lewis, and Jordin Sparks. I highly reccomend listining to them all through YouTube or fan sites. GO GET EM', MELINDA! SHOW 'EM WHO'S BOSS AND GET SIGNED!

Sketch Competition #16 - (Alpha Pontiac/NG G6) Voting
matt41 replied to Flybrian's topic in Sketch Competitions
4 8 3 9 Ok, so in the rules, it is mentioned to have at least two different parts to the car entered, a 3/4 view, rear view, and/or an interior view. There were some amazing beauts that I might have voted for, but I did not (al entries were nice, by the way; I only voted for the people who obeyed the rule). I will not mention who, but entries without a second part should be disqualified, ro only one view should be allowed. Time after time, people only have one view, and get votes. It's not right. If you don't have the time to follow the rules, don't enter at all. -

Altima..couldn't findBMw..RWD? She's checiking up on a used one Jeep..too large, regular too cramped ..oh, this is for real

When both my aunt and I first saw the G35 coupe, we knew it would drive like a dream, so we were afraisd to drive it becasue it was expensive. The salesman tok us out in a test drive. To reach into the rear seats, on the back of the front seat is a handle you pull up, and a black button is underneath it. Press it, and the seat slides forward gracefully and silently. The light sand-colored leather was incredible and comfortable! The dash had a sliver outline, which was gorgeous! The features the salesman explained were like what one would find in a Bentley! When the salesman allowed my aunt to kick it into gear, she did, and the experience was unforgettable! When the car turned sharp corners, it swiftly turned without swiveling! The price was very good too, but it would only be for lease, about $400 a month, basic price @ $35,000. The salesman did everything he should. Introduced himself, gave great details and explained every noticable feature you could find on the luxury coupe. He also kissed up, and offered us sodas and food (the dealership had a cafe, with food, drinks, Internet access, chairs and seats, ect.) The showroom had a red velvet carpeting, and it looked amazing! There were at least eleven cars in the showroom, so it was huge! The building was a square glass building, and the lot was twice the lengh of the building itself, and the lot had at least fifty-eight cars PLUS! We almost didn't go in, but we both were glad she did. The only problem is that the Infiniti was rear-wheel drive, so that's the setback. But the car is in the same price range as her leased Audi A4 cabriolet, so....

I KNOW! We actually first test-drove a Civic, but it took the jerk salesman twenty minutes to get the car. She asked for a blue Civic coupe with a sunroof, and we get a silver Civic coupe with no sunrrof! oh, and the Eclipse is udner the belt, also. The G35 was amazing! I'll post a review.
