I thought Lakisha would go home. Not surprised. She needs to take voice lessons to control her strong voice. She's a good singer, but sometimes she does tend to shreak or yell her lyrics.

Jordin was the best last night, but I she's still WAY, WAY OVER-RATED!!!!!!!!!!![/b]

LOL. Great come back Ron!! :D

BULLSHIT! Dial Idol WRONG YET AGAIN!

True that. It should be only 30 minutes, or have more music and guest singers.

Blake and Jordin are very marketable. Lakisha & Melinda can be, especially in R&B or dance(Lakisha).

I hope next week Jordin falls on her face and that Blake and Melinda are the FINAL 2. I personally favor Blake, but would be just as happy if Melinda got it. Blake is the most modern, most multi-talented artist ever to appear on IDOL and will be very,very succesful, no matter what. I voted for Blake 100 times this week, and will do the same or more next week and if he's in the finals likewise.

Blake was the worst of the group Tuesday in my view. I think he should go next week. Jordin and Melinda are obviously the best of the three. Blake has a huge following, but now, Jordin or Melinda will get LaKisha's votes so maybe they will overcome the disparity of votes for something different. Time to get a real singer back as Idol.

Sadly, your right Jonathan.

Gibb was horrible. He has aged alot and I have to wonder if that played a role.

On my local radio this morning, they were saying he has dentures or something and it's hard for him to sing now. That may be why he is mostly writing now. I like him but it was kind of sad watching tonight.

Not surprised by Lakisha going home.

I really don't know who I want gone next. I think I'm ultimately rooting for Jordin - even though I enjoy Blake and think he'll be fine whether he wins or not. Melinda - she is great - but her personality is not 'Idol'-like. She's just boring.

Blake's career will follow the same path is Taylor. Both of them are only good on stage when you can see them. Yes, both are great performers but their vocal range is very limited. I like Blake too, far more then Taylor, but you can tell he is already getting egotistical like Taylor did towards the end. He is relying on his quirks (his beatboxing, dancing, etc to get him through) just like Taylor relied on his little fits on stage to get him through. Blake even has his 'Blaker girls" fanbase much like Taylor had the "Soul Patrol."

I actually think Chris R. will be much more successful because of his look and his JT comparison. Sanjaya will probably have better success, sadly. Melinda could be very successful if she hooks up with the right people and style and I think Jordin by far can be huge. Many big time performers and singers have said she has the stuff to make it big and she has a huge fanbase, much like Carrie and Kelly did. She is very marketable and is your typical, stereotype of a young American girl.

Blake's time better be up next week because I don't want to see a finale like last year where we have a great singer and someone who just relies on performance. If Katherine's voice had not given out, Taylor would've been toast because she had closed the gap going into finale week. Katherine hasn't had a big career either but she was still miles ahead of Taylor.

:rolleyes: Don't even compare Blake Lewis to the horrible, terrible, elderly looking Taylor Hicks. Blake is a very good singer, entertainer, beat-boxer and producer/re-mixer. I don't see Blake being egotistical at all.

Katharine McPhee's voice didn't give out last season either. She outsang Taylor Hicks, as did Elliott Yamin & Chris Daughtry, who's proved he should've won and is the best out of the 4. Chris Daughtry got the last laugh, lmao. :D

I like Blake a lot. My problem with him is that when he beat boxes his whole voice changes. He can sing, and he can sing pretty good when that's what he's doing. But the beat boxing throws off the entire rhythm of the song. If he does it again next week, he's gone. LOL, he probaby is anyway, though.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
