					<description>Well said. 

I feel like we are preparing for battle. Strategies, encouragement for the long night ahead, remembering our purpose, accepting the risks, and the slogan. Its all good though. I love Blake.

SAVE THE BEATBOXER, SAVE THE WORLD!</description>

					<description>Hey guys, Raina has confirmed my guess about Chris's song choice in the thread below. If someone wants to take it to MJ's, feel free. I can't log in over there from my current location. :ninja:</description>

					<description>Star, you are a smart cookie! (and so am I for making that my song choice for him on the spoiler list that never got posted because stupid people take all the fun out of doing fake spoilers).

My list was: 

Chris - Wanted Dead or Alive
Blake - Living on a Prayer
Phil - Who Says You Can't Go Home
Lakisha - I'll Be There For You
Melinda - Thank You For Loving Me
Jordin - It's My Life

If that list is even half right, I'm going to be PISSED. LOL.

Chris is now dead to me for singing that song. *sigh*</description>

					<description>Oooh, big risk for Chris.  I can't wait until the judges remind casual voting America that Daughtry owned that song last year!!!  Heh! :devil_tb:

					<description>Thanks for the tips!
Do the Blaker Grils already know about Team Plaid?

I hope they do and tell Blake. :smile_wp:

Chris singing Wanted Dead or Alive? Hmmmm Don't know how that will go, but you would think the way the judgesa re loving Chris lately they will tell him he was incredible.
Heh.

Anyways can't wait for Blake's performance tonight! I am ready to VOTE!</description>

					<description>PJ - no, it's not that I wasn't allowed. But since there were already 2 other fake lists out there floating around, no one would have fallen for a 3rd. So I decided to just not post it. *sigh*

Not only did Daughtry OWN that song, it was also his track on the compilation cd. This is the second time Chris has done that. He sang "I Don't Wanna Be" in the semis, which was Bo's track on the season 4 compilation cd.

ETA: Awesome, pj! I usually check the yahoo buzz log every day, but today has been a day of putting out fires at work, and I haven't had time. Boo. Anyway, yay for Blake! :)</description>

					<description>Woo hoo! Good to know, PJ! :)

I just hope the judges are critical with Chris but that they don't rip him a new one, because that might garner a sympathy vote.

&lt;strong&gt;Go Blake! Go Team Plaid! Go Blaker Girls! Save the Beatboxer! Save the WORLD!&lt;/strong&gt;

(it's almost 5 pm, I'm excited, gimme a break. lol)</description>

					<description>Heh. Yeah, I provided the voting FAQ. Just for the record. I was a recipient of it - I did not write it. Too many caps in a message tends to gives me hives. Even so, it's great advice.

Remember from here on out...try to utilize multiple voing strategies (phone/ text/ DI/ Skype - costs money now). Try to encourage "casual fans to vote. Some friends of mine agreed to do it with me on top 3 night last year and we had a blast. The great thing is you're not actually on the phone. Just dialing. So we chatted and laughed for a few hours acting like crazy people every time we actually got through.

Poor Chris...


Save the Beatboxer! Save the World!</description>

					<description>Dumb move on Chris' part.  I was just listening to Chris D's version today and he rocked.  I can't wait to find out what Blake is doing tonight!  

I'll be using Dial Idol again tonight.  I got in about 400  last week and missed the first bit because I needed help setting it up.  Of course I hand dialed at the same time.  

Go Team Plaid!</description>

					<description>Another message from the Blaker Girls for those who don't Myspace:

&lt;em&gt;as you all know, tonight is a HUGEEEE voting night and we need to keep blake around! i challenge all of you to give blake 10 EXTRA votes on top of what you normally do. If you don't vote, please vote at least 10 times. if all the blakers JUST on this page vote 10 times, that is almost 42,000 votes! 

blake told me he is SO excited about his performance tonight and thinks you'll all love it. he said he has something special in store for us. can't wait to find out what it is!!!
&lt;/em&gt;

Hmmm.  Something special?  I'm glad to hear he's excited about this week.  Helps my nerves.  :biggrin_wp:

Go Plaid Go!  Save the Beatboxer, Save the World!

					<description>I have a feeling however Chris does, the judges will probably be nice to him.  I suspect that they want to help him because his MP3 downloads are high, probably second only to Blake, so they want him around a little longer, at least to outlast Phil or Kiki.  I don't think they want him in the F3 or F2.  Everybody is wondering why the judges are pimping Chris when his performances aren't that great, and the MP3 downloads are the only possible reason I can think of.</description>
