I wanted Paul to stay more than Stefano, but then I got a gander at his ass in them jeans, and uh... remembered how well he sang last night and hoped he does just as well next week.

Heyyyyy!!!! Anita and Chaka in the house! LAST SEASON, I said that I betcha they were on cacklin on the phone together when Tim Urban and Siobhan Magnus f!cked up their songs on R&B night. You just KNOW they're a good time.

I know! I can't wait to see him so he can sing live, sound great, and all the haters feel shamed. My friend was trying to convince me that he can't sing, yet here I am playing video after video of him singing live.

Last night's show was pretty boring, which sucks because I love Carole King and her songs. I wasn't really impressed with anyone except (go figure) Casey.

ETA: Bruno sounded FANTASTIC :wub:

He sang the Chris Brown/Jordin Sparks duet singing both parts. Randy didn't love it saying the duet thing wasn't the best choice and he needs to stick to being a Luther and not a Chris Brown which he is not. Agreed.

Hayley sang an unreleased Lady Gaga song, a choice Randy and Jennifer panned. I like her but her sound seems a little (or lottle) affected and I hate to hear singers growl when it doesn't come naturally.

Jacob's desperate attempts at being current/hip/contemporary are so depressing, just like David Archuleta's were. I remember Archuleta did Stand By Me, and (supposedly) his father DEMANDED that Idol let David sing a bar of Beautiful Girls by Sean Kingston, since it samples Stand By Me. And so they let him. And it sounded bad.

I like the theme of the night, the whole contrast of now and then, though it invites the same old lame old boring "Current music sucks!!!" comments to clog up message boards and what-not.

I hate how Iovine was all jazzed about Haley singing an unreleased Gaga song, yet the judges massacred her for singing an unreleased Gaga song. Was she supposed to say "Jimmy, you wrong! I ain't doin' it! Ain't gonna do it! You'gon have to make me!"??? Then they would have massacred her for going against an "expert." Failicious.

I felt bad for Haley. You could tell INSTANTLY that she didn't wanna do that song. But like you said, they would have panned her for goingg against Jimmy. But either way I thought she sounded FANTASTIC. And I love her. I definitely think Jacob will go home this week, and hopefully Haley will get one more chance next week.

Archuleta's dad was up there with the man who faked his little boy flying away in the weather balloon. It's funny because years ago they "ran into" Justin and Kelly at a hotel/airport or something when David was little and the dad's all, "Sing And I Am Telling You for them!" And of course little David did. Total camera whore stage dad.

Yeah that sucks about Hayley I feel like she got set up. :lol: I always get real suspicious when something's not *that* bad and the judges are unanimously side-eyed.

    • I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
