Yeah, no one really NAILED it tonight. A few came close...

Oh and I think i forgot Bucky. LMAO. That says a lot right there about him. Um, he did okay. It was good, not great.

Katharine did very well. Something about her... Simon is right. I really enjoy watching her and she has a great voice.

OMG, Kelli was damned horrible. There is nothing likable about her and fake attitude, LOL!!

Ace was horrible. I was surprised. Mandisa was OK. Everyone was pretty shoddy tonite. Katherine was good but it looked like she forgot some of her lyrics. I thought Lisa was GREAT, she was very confident like Simon said, but her song wasn't that great. Taylor was amazing.

Gosh. It's so hard to pick a bottom three!

Ace has the sex symbol thing going.

Mandisa, Chris, Taylor, Kevin, and Kelli obviously have really big fanbases and gimmicks (either self-made, show-made, or press-made gimmicks) to keep them in.

Mandisa, Paris, Chris, and Lisa are so talented and have amazing voices.

The judges loved Katherine tonight. And seemed to like Melissa too.

It's going to be a very unpredictable season. Quite possibly the most unpredictable EVER. IMO.

My guess for going home: Bucky or Melissa McGee. I wouldn't be surprised if the show started out with a big upset and Katherine goes home. It just seems like maybe she might have the least rabid fanbase, not that she is the least talented.

As for tonight, thank God for Paris and Chris.

I would so shocked if Kevin left the first four or five weeks. He has alot of things going for him....none of which is being CLOSE to being the most talented though. :lol: He's going to be the John Stevens of this year.

That's what is frustrating me the most this year, MichaelGL. I feel like there is so much potential, but not one is coming through! Mandisa, Lisa, Elliot, Ace, and even Kelly (as annoying as I think personality is) really have yet to do a really fun, contemporary, unique performance and wow me. And I think they ALL could do it, easily, if they tried!

You know what, at first I liked Paris, but now? I'm just not feeling her. I mean it. I'm just NOT feeling her. I'm not down with all the moving and shaking and bobbing the head and moving all over the place...it's just REALLY grating on my nerves. Don't ask why. It was cute at first, now it's not. I just want to yell at her face and say, "Stand still, girl!" Damn!

Love Stevie Wonder but I knew the signers would have trouble tonight. His songs are difficult. I wish they would have doen a decade theme or Lionel Ritchie too but oh well. I agree with Simon the first half of the show was bad for the most part and the second part excellent. Here it goes:

Ace: Terrible. I am so over him. He is being too much like Constantine. I always get this feeling that he isn;t being sincere or thinks he will just get by because the females think he is a dreamboat. I liked him before but not anymore, He isn't going anywhere though.

Kellie: Disappointing but I knew no matter what she did she would be stuck since her voice doesn't really suit any Stevie songs that I know of. Her vocals weren't bad but the song was so dull and so not her, The dress wasn't her either. She was so far out of her element. Her personality should get her through though. I was pleased with the way she handled the negative criticism though.

Elliot: Good vocals but I didn't feel him tonight. Maybe it was the song or something but I just didn't connect with him like I usually do. Not bad though. He is safe.

Mandisa: Not her best but really good. Love her going on without her shoes. Love her personality and class and she definitely has one of the best voices in the competition, along with being a great performer. She picked a great song and did really well. She is sailing through.

Bucky: Forgettable and very blah. Nothing about it was appealing. He seemed so out of place on stage. he tried to sell it with some dance moves and somewhat decent vocals but it was very average. Probably bottom 3 and maybe gone if someone else doesn't go.

Melissa: I didn't like it but she wasn;t downright horrible. The botched lyrics didn't really bother me but I think she picked the wrong song since it doesn;t really suit her range IMO. Looked great though-I still think Ayla should be here but whatever. No matter what she does though I think she is gone. She has like no fanbase-kinda like what happened to Jessica last year. Something about her turns people off. Probably bottom 3 tomarrow and maybe going home, depending on someone else.

Kevin: Horrible. Did Randy and Paula go deaf for 3 minutes? That performance sucked. The dancing, the singing, just everything. I think the judges have been way too nice to him, especially the last few weeks where he hasn't been that good. He does have poise and guts but his ego is getting way too inflated. I don;t care much about Simon but he is right alot and what he said to Simon was very snotty-kinda like what Scott said to him after surviving a few eliminations and then after being a snot to Simon he was finally eliminated. We know only little kids (who we saw tonight) and the elderly are the only ones voting for him now and that is it. He better be gone and deservedly so. He is the worst. First him then Bucky and Melissa and then the fun starts. I think his performance, growing ego, and comments to Simon booked him a one way ticket off idol.

Lisa: Not bad but not her best. The ending rocked with the band like Randy said. She should be safe though-love her personality too.

Katherine: Excellent. Best female voice IMO and it does remind me a bit of Kelly Clarkson. Perfect song for her and she did great tonight. She is sailing to the final 5.

Paris: Great. She performed, sung, and had the poise of a veteren. Great personality and she will go very far.

Taylor: Much better then last week's debacle. Much more controlled and more had an equal balance of vocal and performance. If he keeps this up, I will keep liking him. He isn't going anywhere.

Chris: Best of the night IMO. He is already a star. He picked a perfect song and his performance was awesome. He is truly my favorite and Simon was right on in his assessment of him. Love him. He is sailing through to the final 4.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
