American Idol 2013 (Season Twelve)

This is, this is, this is ("It")

In Chat a while back some on said they would NOT be watching American Idol. So I promised to open a thread and keep them abreast of the highlights. It is 7:30pm Thursday 17-Jan here now and I m whatching "IT" on Channel 10.

This ad has been airing for a couple of months:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Carx...e_gdata_player

To all the dreamers
To everyone out there who thought they didn't have a chance.
It's almost that time of the year America.
The time to make dreams come true.
This is
This is
This is
This is
"IT"

due to that ad I think "Our Dreaming Mind" is going to cause lots and lots of "Dream Synchronicity" to happen concerning American Idol 2013.

This is "Season Twelve"

A successful audition, just now, was given a quick quiz. He was asked what year did William Hung audition?

answer: 2003 American Idol

Nobody reads your threads, why can't you understand that from the total absence of replies? Why do you keep posting?

5:30 am Wed 23-Jan-13 Xei replied to my thread called "American Idol (Season Twelve)"

"nobody reads your threads, why can't you understand that from the total absence of replies.? Why do you keep posting?"

Ok Xei, its like this

I woke at ~7am Sat 1-March- 2008 out of a deep dream. I started my 1 hour cleaning job but was so absorbed in the deep dream that my cleanjng job too twice as long.

Then I turned on my clunk-aty-clunk computer and typed out my dream. I copied it to a floppy and went to an Internet Cafe to send it to a friend. Back then I only had a brick-phone. I don't think Internet phones were around back then.

I had joined a yahoogroup in 2005 just to see what would happen. It was psiDreams Yahoogroup. I would check my email at an Internet Cafe once a fortnight and delete all the email from psidreams (unopened) because, occasionally when I did open one it was just a line that didn't mean anything.

On Saturday 1-March-08 when I opened my email account, there was just one, lonely email in my inbox. It was from the iasd psiDreams yahoogroup. I opened it.

And the rest is history.

I had 'mutual dreamed' with a group dedicated to dreaming together one day every month.

That experience is the JET fuel propeling this dreamer.

For the next 4 years I took it for granted that this sort of thing was common in the online dream community. It took several bannings and other online troubles to wake-up to the fact that it aint common and I am alone.

But, because of Saturday 1-March- 2008 I know it is ... well ... is common.

This JET fuel is not running out.

Back then I took it for granted that what had SPONTAINIOUSLY happened to me was happening SPONTAINIOUSLY to everyone everywhere.

I am not special or psychic. I think I told the whole story in my thresd called "my story"

You asked 2 questions

1st question - nobody reads your threads, why cant you understand that from the total absence of replies?

Answer:

This thread has 9 posts and 139 views and that is 15+ views per post.

2nd question - Why do you keep posting?

Answer:

I answered that question thoroughly in post 9.

Also, Xie

I visit loads of thresds and libe them bet hardly ever reply. So, I understand the tons of people who visit my thread and don't reply. For example, my Synchronicity Game" light fun friendly. has 120 replies (mostly mine) and 5,933 views thats 49+ views per post and my thread called "Dream Synchronicity Game Reloaded" has only 8 replies (all mine) but 1,004 views and thats a massive 125+ views per post.

Jimmy Smith
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh0d...e_gdata_player

I had a dream a couple of nights a go and the DC whome was my brother, going for a job interview, looked a hell of a lot like Jimmy Smith.

In said dream, my brother, Al, had two other brothets he'd never met. Al was a triplet in said dream.

In real life my brother Al was not a triplet or a twin.

But

I just this minute remembered that mums first baby, to our dad, was still born. He was given the name "James"

Here is my dream:

Triplets - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

If I can Dream

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere*
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue*
If I can dream of a better land*
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand*
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true*
Oh why*

There must be peace and understanding sometime*
Strong winds of promise that will blow away*
All the doubt and fear*
If I can dream of a warmer sun*
Where hope keeps shining on everyone*
Tell me why, oh why, oh why wont that sun appear*

Were lost in a cloud*
With too much rain*
Were trapped in a world*
That's troubled with pain*
But as long as a man*
Has the strength to dream*
He can redeem his soul and fly*

Deep in my heart there's a tremblin question*
Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow*
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle, yeah*
And while I can think, while I can talk*
While I can stand, while I can walk*
While I can dream, please let my dream*
Come true, ohhhhh, right now*
Let it come true right now*
Oh yeah

"If I Can Dream" is a song made famous by Elvis Presley, written by Walter Earl Brown and notable for its direct quotations to Martin Luther King, Jr. It was recorded by Presley in June 1968, two months after King's assassination. The recording was first released to the public as the finale of Presley's '68 Comeback Special.

Although the song is not technically gospel music, Presley performed the song with the intensity and intonations of southern gospel. It has since appeared on various Presley gospel and/or inspirational compilations.

Brown was asked to write a song to replace "I'll Be Home For Christmas" as the grand finale on NBC's "Elvis" (June 20-23, 1968). He wrote "If I Can Dream," and when Presley heard it he proclaimed "I'm never going to sing another song I don't believe in. I'm never going to make another picture I don't believe in."

Band-related errors prevented the first take from becoming the master. After the TV special, the song was released as a single - If I Can Dream/Edge Of Reality - in November 1968. It charted on Billboard's Hot 100 for 13 weeks, peaking at #12, with more than one million sales.p

My favoirite to win American Idol 2013 is Angie Miller

She wrote this song and this performance moved her into the top 40.

she said

This song is about being set-free from baggage and from the weight that you carry from hard times. So, I really hope you like it. It's called:

You set me free

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Nh...e_gdata_player

You find me here alone
I hear a voice that's so unknown
It strikes courage up my backbone,
strenthening my heart
a life set apart

You come, you come, with open arms
You say "I love you for who uou are

When I was haunted and alone
with this baggage on my back
draggin me down

You set me free
You set me free
You set me free

Then tonight Angie made the cut and is one of the five people that the public can vote for. Tonights song was another she wrote herself.

(0:38 to 2:31) of Youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwRR...e_gdata_player

If I could turn back the hands of time
I swere I never would have crossed that line
I should have kept it between us
but no, I went and told the whole world
how I feel, but Ooooh

I sit and I realise
with these tears falling from my eyes
I got to change if I want to
keep you for ever

I promise that I'm going to try

But I never meant to hurt you
I guess it's time that I learned
to treat the people I love
like I want to be loved

This is the Lesson

and I hate that I let you down

(...)

and I hate that I made you think
that the trust that we had was broken
so don't tell me that you can't forgive me

because you know
I'm not a Saint
no, not at all
and what I did
that wasn't cool

and I swere that I'll never do that again

oohhh no
no no no no no no ...
nobody's perfect.
