You have a pretty face, why taint with paint? LOL I personally didn't mind the cocky attitude (I don't care if you have one as long as you can back it up). I think that most people will dislike that and will not vote for her, that's why I question her attitude during the interviews. Though I get the feeling the producers probably had a hand with getting her to do that, just like in last week's episode they had that blonde with her sister talking 'trash' about other people.

Yikes! The girl , Krysten with the shaved head just did not have a powerful voice. Her rendition of Whitney's song was flat and lacked any energy. She looked bored on stage as I was watching her. Such a shame bc she looked like she was ready to kill it. Well I guess she did. Im dissapointed bc it almsot seemed like they were hyping her up bc I thought they were sending her back and giving her a second chance bc she was gonna do amazing. What an UGLY, ungraceful exit. The bitch cursing up a storm, throwing water at the camera men and then picking up a chair ready to fight. She should be embrassed

LMAO! I was not expecting that ending for her at all. Damn. She was just not good at all, the whole last segment was painful to watch (minus Britney's reactions - HILARIOUS!)

And LOL at the overdramatic thunder theme the show had going on. Seriously laugh.pnglaugh.pnglaugh.png They have a great Adobe After Effects artist.

Wasn't that impressed with ANYONE tonight. I found the episode really boring. No one stood out to me!

Wow is it really Producer influenced? It confuses me why they give bitchy/cocky edits for people that go through if they're trying to build a cast of people that America will like & vote for. That girl could've easily gotten a nice edit, they didn't need to show all the stuff she was saying on the side to make America hate her. She was pretty pleasant during her audition. I guess it makes sense that it could be producer influenced. A controversial contestant on a singing show always brings a lot of publicity.

But, I also sometimes wonder if the personalities are all real and are shown b/c someone higher up in the show wanted it to be shown because they were annoyed & knew America would be too. They want to show them in their true light for drama purposes and to keep people talking, even when they know they don't or didn't stand a chance. If that makes any sense at all. Who in the HELL knows! Either way it gets people buzzing.

The editing of this show fascinates me though. It's so blatant.

I heard they don't have Boys and Girls this year, but something splitting them based on ages. I think Britney will have the young teens. I know one year the UK show did this, but it was a huge flop. Nobody wants ot see little 12-14 year olds. They can't have a career at this age so it's pointless. They should stick to the regular Boys, Girls, Over 25's and Groups. And minimum age should absolutely be 16.

I hate the idea of an Under 20 group or that Britney has it. She just won't win with those teenyboppers. I understand they want to find another Justin Bieber but the chances of that happening are slim. I also don't like that you don't have a Boys and Girls separate category. They will learn. These changes never work on the international X Factor's and they always go back to the tried and true.

5 million dollars is too much money to waste on a child who will never have a career. Sorry lol. I guess it's obvious I don't like kids on singing shows.

Considering last season produced one person that had any intrest, Rachel, and she is younger than 15, i can see why they want younger kids. I think britney have under 20 is fine and she can do well. A lot of the under 20's have been great and i wouldn't be surprised at all if one of them won.

Emblem 3's Sunset Blvd is in the top 20 sales on Itunes!

Rachel Crow was the exception IMO and I hated how her exit was handled. She was a total brat, but the judges were given such heat for doing their job, mainly because she was young. I don't think kids are handled fairly on a show like this. IN a way people want to baby them which is annoying. I think 16 is a good start age because it's young, but not too young to release music mature enough to be a hit.

Actually, Rachel Crow is probably a good example of what I mean. Her debut single (which was great) flopped, but I predict her tv show will be a hit, which will give her a few years to grow up and then she'll have a successful album. You just can't be a popstar at 12-14.

I think 13-14 is fine if they take 1-2 years to develop them. Britney and Christina broke out in their mid teens, so it can be done.

The more I see of Demi Lovato, the more my infatuation with her grows. She's so quick and on her toes (she hears thunder and says, "even God is rocking out right now."), and I really like her behind the scenes moments with Simon, how she always jokes around with him.

    • Yes, Stacy does this both for early DAYS & early GH. I have written some for her, for DAYS.
    • Hahahha I think sleeping with almost all of your daughters's boyfriends and husbands and getting pregnant... definitely gives Brooke the right to top 1 place. Long live the whore of Beverly hills.

    • CurlyQGrl has DVDs of some episodes, that they can sell, but that doesn't matter. What is helpful: they describe the scenes on the tapes, so you can read that as recaps without ordering anything. Doesn't really give storylines, though, which is what you asked for.  Here's the links anyhow. full menu https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/menu.html GH page https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/menu.html GH 1960s https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/eps/gheps1960s.htm
    • I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons. 
    • I'm excited for us to get back to a full weeks worth of episodes and also us beginning to move into the episodes filmed once the show premiered. We're already starting to see changes in the lighting and the way certain characters are styled. Of course we know this week we have our first recast as well. After the big Eva reveal, I hope the show continues to move into a positive direction and that we see them starting to fix some of the things we've all had issues with.
    • It seems like they may have been going in one direction for Andre and then changed their mind. He had this player/bachelor thing going at first where he was messing with Dani, seemed to be feeling Eva, and then somehow smitten by bland Ashley of all people. I feel like Ashley was supposed to be the one that finally made him want to be with someone and settle. The way he talked her up in those earlier episodes was really confusing. The wonderful, amazing nurse Ashley and conveniently she's unattainable because she has a partner, but he can't stop thinking of her and takes these busted pics of her. It was a mess. However, it all seems to have been dropped. I honestly feel like Andre can go. That may be an unpopular opinion but I don't need his breathy final syllable to be content with BTG. It's always like "There's gotta be another wh-ahyy"
    • This is where McLaibey falls apart. It becomes clear that McTavish had not thought past Brent/Marion...so the energy drops and she starts throwing things at the wall (Blakes twins, Lonatrat.)   Fans HATED this funeral. Everyone is mad at everyone else, which is fine, the death of a beloved community figure would give people a reason to come together...(Quint and Nola could come together at least for  a bit to support each other, Nola and VAn could finally admit they kinda, sorta like each other) Its just an example of McTavish's mean writing.   I have a feeling they were going to make Dahlia Frank's kid but they chickened out. Making Tina a prostitute didn't help, they could have been lovers when they were young but felt society pressure to part. Marcus took over David's role (you can't have two young black men at that time...)   Get used to it...this will happen, the same storyline over and over until the end.
    • Does anyone happen to have a recording or any footage of Jennifer’s funeral?
    • It's such a shame that the conflict couldn't be resolved in a mature way between the two actors.. especially since Albee was a bigger asset for the show in terms of character and his popular will they/won't they pairing with Deborah Saxon. One of the things about Edge was that it was just as popular with male viewers as it was with women.  It's one of things I think the show forgot in the final year or two with the deemphasis on the male characters.
