It was too early to use it. He was better tonight but I didnt see him winning it all. Lazaro was the worse...he got a lot of sympathy votes..to finish 4th. He sounded awful last night.

Sorry but thank god the save wasn't used on Curtis! WAY too early and while he has an amazing, powerhouse voice I just don't think he would've ever appealed to enough viewers out there. I'm sure he will have a successful gospel career regardless. Best of luck to him.

Part of me HATES knowing how the contestants rank up now. They went and copied The X Factor. LOL.

LMAO. Paul was in 8th place. Deserved!

Worst of the night Lazaro was 4th place rolleyes.gif Whatev.

Warmed my heart seeing Candice & Kree in the top 3 wub.png I wish Amber was in Angie's place and it would've been perfect.

Angie rolleyes.gif She's soo annoying. Did anyone notice how she was acting during Curtis' performance? Total phony!

Devin, Devin, Devin. Damn. Nicki kind of slammed him, didn't she?! I REALLY, really want to see him make a huge comeback next week. He needs too. I know he has it in him!

Thanks!

OMG. How dare you say that about Amber! Take it back! LOL.

All I see, hear & get from Paul is sheer awfulness!

Love it!

Agreed. I think they just need to mix it up in terms of who judges first after each performance. It's so boring starting with Keith all the time!

Mariah is ALWAYS looking disgusted with Nicki's antics/comments. LOL

Did they do makeovers yet? I feel like they haven't and idk why idol comes off looking so cheap to me this season compared to seasons past. idk idk idk

Thanks for posting that vid AMDatGH! She slayed. I always forget this is on and then tune into the final hour and no one I really care about is singing. I am pretty excited Jessica Sanchez is back to perform.

Hey they listened to us and let the judges rotate who went first after each performance tonight! Great! So much better.

LMAO did anyone notice Nicki rolling her eyes when Paul was hitting his big note? That's exactly how I was feeling during it. Like...ok he hit that amazing note but there still wasn't one thing impactful about it. He just trys way too hard and comes off incredibly manufactured. He's THINKING instead of FEELING & EMOTING. He didn't connect with the song at all. Another awful performance.

Lazaro...no comment. I can't.

Angie...I don't care how good her voice is, she's so irritating to me. Everything about her seems forced. She should take notes from Amber & Candice who come off very congenial.

Burnell...wow! I was blown away by his rendition of "Let it Be!" He does the most interesting things with every song he chooses, It's always exciting to see what he comes up with. Best of the night in my book.

Was glad to see Candice do something more up tempo, I thought it was a bit over the top & sloppy at times, just in terms of the arrangement & sound, but her vocal once again was flawless and it was fun to see her move around the stage and engage with the crowd more.

I don't think Amber enjoyed that song at all but she sounded great.

Once again loved Kree. She's blossoming!

Devin definitely stepped it up. Good song choice & solid performance. I hope he gets through & next week chooses a song that allows him to loosen up a bit & connect with the crowd because I think that's what's missing w/him.

Janelle...once again, eh. She's good but just doesn't stand out to me that much.



They do makeovers? Never noticed! LOL maybe I'm just drawing a blank.

The stage seems smaller this season.

Your welcome! I really enjoyed that performance. She definitely did slay!

Kree ... she was awesome. I quickly downloaded her and Burnell's songs.

Burnell ... a great performance. I thought he did really well. I like his voice and he finally stood out for me. Definitely the best of the piss-poor guys.

Amber ... I was mixed like the judges. She's amazing but I don't know. I think she could actually be in trouble if the fangurls rally behind Paul, Devin and Lazaro, all who should go before her. I don't trust the voters.

Lazaro .... sigh. I can totally see this experience is overwhelming him. He shouldn't be kept just because everyone feels badly for him. I really do too but he's not good. Or hasn't been at all lately. I fear he's going to outlast a few people he probably shouldn't, though I'd be fine with Paul and Devin going before him, I guess, if he has to stick around.

Candice ... fantastic! LOVE her. She's great. I can't praise them anymore LOL.

Paul ... he wasn't nearly as bad as the judges wanted him to be. He did better than last week, IMHO. He's not the most thrilling to watch and compared to all 5 girls, he pales in comparison.

Devin ... I think he's holding back a little bit. IDK. He's just kind of there and I honestly forget about him. Probably not a great sign for him. He's not BAD though, he's second best guy after Burnell, they both have good voices.

Angie ... I hate her playing up the cameras, but she's got an amazing voice. I could see her winning if I had to pick someone now, even though I prefer Kree or Candice or even Janelle. She's still great. It's gonna be rough for the women soon because they're all good.

Janelle ... wow. I'm very glad she picked the song she did and she really highlighted her voice. I thought she was good last week, of course she's good, but it was all "gone gone gone" and this week ... perfect song for her. She's like a mix of Kellie Pickler and Carrie Underwood to me. The dorkiness of Kellie yet the great talent of Carrie (not that Kellie isn't, but she wasn't the best on her season, though she's great now).

Aubrey ... was nice to see her get into the tour. Great voice. I loved seeing her mom in the audience so happy. Charlie needs a bath.

I like the smaller stage and Nicki has been a great judge.

    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
