I'm not sure if I understand what you are meaning, but they do have that one album and usually all of the top 12 appear on it.

Then of course any of the Top 12 can make albums and singles after the show is over. It is only the winner that is guaranteed to have a contract but it seems like the runner's up always seem to do good too, and even a few of the others in the Top 12 have had random singles.

Maybe that answers your question.

I'm glad to see that I was not the only person who thought Chris completely mucked up "Walk The Line" Almost everyone I talked to today thought it was horrible.

Yeah, I just read on EW that he sang the "Live" version. So I had to download it, and Chris sounded like he was doing Karokee to that version.

So much for everyone saying how original it/he was. :lol:

I like Chris and I hope he decides to take a chance and at least try to do the theme of the night. He was perfect when he did Fuel and Bon Jovi but the last two weeks he has been blah. :(

Last night I loved Katharine. I am about to declare her my favorite. I love Taylor, but his song reminded me of some corny Aaron Carter song. I thought Kellie was OK. Bucky & Ace were the worst. Lisa was nothing special. Kevin had his best, but that's not saying a lot. I liked Mandisa's, Elliot's was OK. Don't really remember Chris's. Still don't get Paris. I say the B3 will have Bucky, Lisa, and probably Elliot as the shocker, since Kevin won't be in the bottom 3 for a VERY long time.

Amazingly, Rick, everyone at work told me they loved Chris' version of "Walk the Line!" :lol: I really liked it because he made the song his own. It was just amazing to see that you can turn a well-loved country song like Cash's classic "Walk the Line" into something that, even though it was done in the '50s, translates to a rock version today--and without it sounding forced or hokey. I think he did the best job with making that song his own. It really stunned me.

Wait a dang second.

STOP the presses.

Chris copied the band Live's version of this song? :o

Oh, my God.

I didn't even know another band had EVER covered that song.

I wonder if the judges know..

Oh my, and I thought he was such a genius, too, for pulling it off.

Help, God, help!!!

:unsure:

    • From what I just recently watched, they were setting her up to go into future stories. She was Emmy nomination worthy in the material I saw. If some viewers did not like her, the character could have been rehabilitated after that sick storyline. It feels like they destroyed a character for fun and then tossed her to the curb. Spencer had chemistry with everyone. I'm just retroactively angry on Spencer's behalf. 
    • CBS was back in third place in 1994/95. That was the season CBS lost NFL broadcasting rights which also cost them several established affiliates in major media markets. 1995 CBS was sold to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. 1995/96 CBS was trying to be young and cool to compete with NBC and Fox, but it was an epic failure and CBS was once again in third place.
    • I tend to think that Chad will actually listen to Jen (this time). And that will be the next stumbling block in their relationship, which will open the possibilities for Cat to seek another member of their love triangle... To iterate my earlier thought, I am also not a fan of the person Melissa Reeves, but the character of Jennifer looks so chic this week, especially in comparison to Hope (and Gabi).  That blunt haircut is a winner.   
    • I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. Their connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters. All this talk of Jennifer being in the wrong regarding Cat is absurd. Jennifer is not being villainized in any way, shape, or form, she's just being allowed to actually be human, which adds odds to the obstacle of Chad and Cat eventually getting together. All inner conflict. Keep it coming!
    • Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.
    • My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.
