I'm a HUGE Celine AND Elvis fan so I really loved the skit. It did seem as though she were singing with a ghost and the little girl Ryan was standing by when the camera left them to him in the audience, looked thoroughly spooked, too. I felt bad for her.

Here is an interesting article and explains what I had suspected .... if true.

LOL, of course she did. It was great in my opinion since I love them both and how I miss seeing Elvis. I watch every Elvis rerun I hear of, have most of his music and just relive my youth through Elvis. I was in Germany when he was. One day I was at a fair which was located beside the autobahn and word spread around that Elvis would be along on the autobahn shortly.....boy what a thrill and how folks lined up along side the autobahn to wave at him and he was smiling so big and waving back. Swoon...LOL. That's as close as I ever got to him physically though. Never got to a concert.

The lists floating around are not accurate as a rule. I knew last week because the show was taped and what the contestants sang became general knowledge.

I was checking the AI boards and it seems as though there will be four hours to vote this week also, I suppose to balance out last week....that's a relief if true. Also, I read that a lot of folks are planning to vote like crazy to save Chrs....LOL...thinking their favorites are safe. What a waste. Why vote to save someone just because they are cute when who you really want to win gets the boot because everyone was thinking they were safe. Just use good judgement if you are taking the time to place the votes is my advice.

Jordin did great and her looked worked for the theme. I thought her big hair added to it and Simon didn know what he was talking about. He needs to stop commenting on clothes and looks. I LOVED her personality tonight and how she agreed with teh criticism and took it like a champ

I actually really enjoyed Jordin's performance - and her look was perfect! I don't know what the judges were thinking. I did kind of want her to interact and rock out with the audience a little more...but still, I liked it.

LaKisha was pretty good. That might save her tomorrow night now. I figured she'd go with either Chris or Phil - but maybe we'll be getting rid of two boys tomorrow night?

Blake was amazing. My fave so far. I hope he sticks around. Im glad the beat boxing is back! I missed it there for the past few weeks

Only one thing I didnt like and it was the hair. Why did he go dark? I want him back as a blonde and spikey

I LOVED Blake's new hair color - made him a whole lot hotter for me. :)

As for his performance - I can't say I absolutely loved it - but I thought it was smart and definitely needed. His signature in the beginning was the beat boxing - and he hasn't done it in weeks! So he definitely needed to bring that back to keep Blake, Blake. (if that makes sense). Parts of it I really loved, parts I think could be better if he had more time and energy to tweak it a little. But yeah - very smart on his part.

And did I mention I loved his darker hair??? haha - almost made me forget about that mouth of his. ;)

    • Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate 
    • This show is definitely not one to deserve the axe.  especially the New Year’s Eve episode was crazy wild! there is a place where u can download nearly all episodes from October 2019 til today. But they don’t accept new people. https://youtu.be/aD-IXEJjymU?si=19wtpwthSNYOe-4y   this is from this years winter break when the returned. I loved it
