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:

    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
