I really love Heejun but was disappointed by him tonight! I hope he doesn't go home though. I love his voice & sense of humor.

Joshua, Holly, and Philip were my faves tonight.

Not a fan of Elise or her voice. It and also her attitude reminds me of Haley Reinhart from last year. No wonder I can't stand her!

Will.I.Am was annoying!

Ugh I hated Haley Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrreinhart from last year (remember that incessant growling noise she made? Oy)

I love Heejun too! He's quirky and has got a voice you would just NOT expect to come out of him. But yes, last night was not a good night for him. He sounded out of breath the whole time.

Colton Dixon is one of my faves. He is definitely marketable and very talented. Love the pornstar name too, haha.

Hollie is very good and has such a powerful voice, but she needs to work on having a stronger voice during the slower, subtle parts to the songs.

Joshua is really growing on me and he had a great night!

Jessica is also very good overall, just a weak night last night.

Phillip is definitely very marketable but not my cup of tea, musically speaking.

I like Deandre. Total Milli Vanilli flashback, lol.

The husband likes Skylar, but I think she's going to become to schticky. Same thing every week where she looks like she's having a lil country temper tantrum at one point in every song.

The weakest links in my opinion are: Elise, Erika, and Shannon. None of them have any charisma or star power.

Idols night on Idol.

Hee Jun. Best performance of his so far.

Jessica. She murdered that Beyonce song in the best way possible. Great.

Joshua. He has a church voice. My one complaint is when he's not singing in that voice. When he IS singing in that voice it's a thing of beauty.

Hollie was good. Not standing ovation good but good.

Skylar is okay but she tends to over sing a bit.

Phillip, Elise. They can sing but I didn't love them tonight.

Curly? I hate him because of his hair (I'm sorry. It's shallow) and because he sings in 3 different voices during a song.

Who am I forgetting? It's somebody I'm going to vote for because the only two I'm not going to vote for are Curly and Phillip. ETA: It's Colton. Lifehouse sings it better but he did a very good job.

The Medley's. The Stevie Nicks one was perfect. The Michael Jackson one was not very good, but not awful. The girls butchered the Madonna classics. They started picking up on energy at the very end but more than a little too late.

Elise is just too mousey/dorky to me. She's like the less cool but just as hippy-like version of Karen, the older sister on The Wonder Years. Phillip is good, but it's all the same, week after week. I'm just not into his type of music. Is he good? Yes. Do I fast-forward thru him? Yes.

Skylar definitely goes overboard. It's like she's having some sort of fit on stage. It was cute the first week, but now she's just annoying. And she did not fit in with Jessica and Hollie in the Madonna trio. It was like watching two dainty females and one butch bulldyke.

Deandre and Joshua make a cute couple. Haha. When they sing those love songs, they're thinking of each other. At first I wasn't too keen on Josh, but he's definitely grown on me. Powerful singer and cute effeminite qualities to him. Deandre just makes me laugh. A mixture of Prince, Justin Timberlake, and Milli Vanilli. I hope he sticks around a few more weeks.

I liked Hee Jun, but I know he wasn't the strongest. And he definitely showed his weaknesses during that trio! Lordy, he could not dance or keep in the same beat as the two boyfriends (Deandre & Joshua). Not surprised he was voted off.

Loved the trio doing the Stevie Nicks songs.

Holly is good, but I'm not totally crazy about her. She'll last awhile I'm sure.

Jessica is a powerhouse. Colton is a star. I hope he wins. I could see it being down to those two. With hopefully Joshua as No. 3. I'm sure Phillip will last longer than I want him to, though. Not surprising, just not my cup o' tea.

I hate that Philip sings ever song the same way.....I want to love him but damn he is making it hard....lol...and I hate his song choices.....I preferred Colton's Cyndi Lauper verions of Time after Time over Phillips song choice...which like I said he sings the same damn way...lol

I sort of gave up watching. Aside from Philip Phillips none of them seem any good. That southern girl's accent can make you cringe. She ruined that Bette Midler song. She cannot physically pronounce the letter I, and it always comes out "ahhh" "You are the wind beneath mahhhh wings". How do they not help her work on this?

    • 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.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time.
