USE SKYPE.COM!!!

Thanks for the tip, Vixen! Skype.com is a free program you can download to make calls from your computer. It says it only works to call fellow Skype users, but it was reccomended to Vixen as a way to cast votes, so I assume it will work for our purposes. Please, my devout voters, vote for the whole to hours with both Skype and as many phones as you have available (And if you don't, feel free to tell me you did ; D)! In case Skype doesn't work, don't vote for one of the two online and one with an actual phone; split the votes on both services. We can't let anyone go home just because this Skype thing doesn't end up working (Though it hopefully will...)!! Please take the grand total of two seconds it takes to download it, and VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!!

EDIT:

1) If you've ever used Skype.com before, please let me know whether or not it truly does work to vote. If it does, please tell me how to do it (I'm trying to dial the number, but it won't let me - Is it just that the lines aren't open for votes yet?)

2) I can't download it, since it's only for PCs, but DialIdol.com also let's you cast votes online. PC users: It would be great if you could vote with all three!!!!!!!!!!

ahh, what was bunny's phone # again? I think its Tempo-01, but I wont take the chance especially since it could also be Natalie or Ivan (heh, sorry I dont like them much.) Right now I'm speed-dialing the Benjelle numbers, and I also called Heidi's number like 10 times, because her and Travis were amazing tonight. (or monday.. lol) also, we cant forget about heidi-ho, because if we only concentrate on like Donyelle, with the Natalie-people voting for well... Natalie, Heidi might not get to the Top 4, which would be like so absurd...

hmm... now I think Bunny's (haha I love that nickname, moose.) number is Tempo-03. ... Oh wait... maybe it was 1? OH CRAPP... wait... then heidi's number is 04 right?? *Confused much*

Also, during the rehearsal clips today w/ Benjelle, did Benji actually say something about Benjelle? (actually using the fan-word) LOL! Also their performances today (crap.. monday.) seemed... different... I'll write more about it, but I'll wait for an actual board for the show today to be made :]]

=]Erica says to get off yer butt and dial 'em numbers FASTT!!

get voting...
it's unfortunate how open Donyelle's line is!!!

come on

we want her and benji to be in the top two if this story is going to win.

Oh my god guys! Skype lets you vote early for Benji and Donyelle (and other dancers). Did anyone know this? I'm on the west coast, I just downloaded skype, and I experimented by dialing Benji (and Donyelle's vote number), and I just voted!

Did anyone else know about this? I just voted three hours early!

Anonymous said...

anonymous @ 7:34: yeah... it is unfortunate... :/ I hope Skype and all those other things people have been using really work, because it will be a shame to actually not get the votes because of some technical difficulty or something

sami: awesome! I'll download it next week, but this week I'll do it the old fashioned way - by phone, lol.

Okay... I am going to believe that Travis's number is Tempo-03... yep... *thinks again* oh crap... did I actually vote for Natalie instead? *slaps face* Okay, I'll vote for Tempo-01 and tempo-02 then, which I'm going to believe is Triedi? (however you spell it)
OKAY, I'm going to use my super-memory skillz to about 40 mins ago, when they showed the "repeats" of the numbers. ummm yeah I think I'm right... or somebody please help me here :D

Pineapple Princess: CREEPY!!!!! I think there was something in the preferences about who it let's call you.

The show hasn't aired yet, so I can't help out with anything else for another hour. Gr, Skype won't let me call!!!

I downloaded skype a couple seconds ago (calling by phone is soo last week, insnt it? Lol jk.) and does anyone know how to call in bulk? if you can? because anonymous at 7:59 did you actually dial their numbers 100 times? Or can you like... call them all at once.. or something. Or 1 after the other

I added both of their numbers as contacts and then I just called one at time but you don't have to dial each time, you just have to click on their contact button so it's pretty easy !

so i found this post on the fox sytycd board:

(i had to break up the link)

i hope skype does work, b/c i've been blowing up donny's line and I hit up benji's line too. i know she had a rough night w/ some rough criticism, but she's a fighter and has delivered week after week.

GO DONNY [and Benji]!!!!!

Moose said...

Ugh, Skype won't let me press call!!! How do you guys make it work...??

~ Moose ~

Moose said...

Gha, Skype hates me!!! Let me know if I'm doing this right: Go to dial, and dial 18888367606, right? Then the call button should become darker green, and let me press it, but it doesn't!!!

Just add Donny and Benji as contacts, and then left click on their contact name and a whole list of options will come down, click on call and then vote. that's what i've been doing!

Moose said...

Gr, I have a Mac, which equals no left or right clicking... but I'll try... THANKS!!!

Moose said...

Hmph, it won't let me add the contacts because it says those numbers aren't availadble. *Sigh* I give up.

Croc-o-dial on the loose...watch out! said...

I do this thing with body language...long story, but I thought ya'll might like this, its from my post on sytycd boards:)

Hugs: They like the hugging. These two really like to be close and in and embrasse, which really shows that they are comfortable with each other. The intersting thing is the hugs themselves. They dont just hug, they try to get as close as they can..even with a camera on them they have almost full body contact.

Looks: They look each other in the eyes and this week I saw a change in it. I noticed in the hip hop practice they look at each other and into each others eyes when they talk to the camera. This week however I found that it was Donny looking at him alot more than in the past. There was point in the judging when the judges are talking to benji and you see him look down at donny (you can see her till the end) and he doesnt just glance at her he holds her gaze for a good 3-5 sec. He looks up even before she does.

Benji gives away his feeling even when he's "toning it down" In the first judging nigel says something about donny not making the cut next week and you can see benji hand on the edge of the screen which prior to that moment was just resting on her shoulder, pull her in lightly and caresses her, nonverbal affermation, "im here for you, you're not going anywhere," type stuff.

I also noted anytime someone suggested donny might leave he would pull her closer to him, protecting her but alsp holding on to her, like "she cant leave I need her."

The hug kiss. This was amazing...SO MUCH GOING ON I had to watch it like 4 times. First off its donny who pulls him into the hug. They hug closely and look at the camera, but then the look at each other (not talking just a glance they look into each others eyes for a long time good 5-7 sec then he places kiss on her face. Not just a friendly peck. He pressed his whole face into the side of hers. She then leans forward hugs him closer and closes her eyes. The look on her face is a little bit of fear (of leaving not benji) mixed with relife and just a look of connection with him. That one look from her closed the "is she into him too" book for me tonight.

Dancing at the end. These two seem to want to be near each other as much as they can. At the end dance scene you see benji and hiedi dancing, but benji seeks out donny grabs her hand and pulls her into dancing with him. I noticed he turned her in away that she could come back with her arm across his chest and close to him. They seem to need the closeness. Then Heidi dances off and they are all by themselves, totally paying no attention to the others, if Im not mistaken they have their back to the group.

Did they ham it up for the cameras...ya some, but what i saw was exateraged trutj, more than anything.

Benji was more reserved this week,(even after is solo piece) but I really really think that was him not feeling himself. He in general seemed low key, being sick and in the hospital for 2 day seem apprent on his face. He is a super high energy person like all the time...this week he was just mellow, he looked wiped out. Not that his dancing showed it! WOW! I wish i performed nearlly as well when Im sick!

Anyway my thoughts...Im sure others will come up
