I think overall they all did well tonight, so glad after the fiasco of the past 3 weeks.

Chris and Katherine nailed, I was really amazed by both performances. :D:D:D

Ace, , Elliot, and Taylor were pretty good, all had shaky moments, but nottoo bad.

Paris, she does well with this music, the song was just kind of boring.

Kellie was the by far the worst tonight and I am hoping that everyone votes that way, send her home please!

I liked this theme so much better since it allowed the singers to relax a bit and I love Rod Stewert. He looked like he had a good time with everyone. Here are my thoughts:

Chris-He needed this and he was fantastic. Nice tone and he looked and sounded great. Now I am seeing versatility and that is something we have only seen once before. He did great.

Paris-Loved it. This is her element. She is a classy, elegant jazzy type singer. Her voice suited that song very well and I haven't enjoyed her this much in weeks.

Taylor-Again same as Paris. The dancing drove me nuts at the end but I liked the fact he threw himself into it. He sang great and was very impressive IMO. His best in weeks IMO.

Elliot-Great vocals as usual but I agree with Simon. Its same old same old with him. Its the same problem I had with my fave Chris until this week. If he survives this week, he need to do something completely out of his element and it has to be radical. He needs to do something like Chris did. He was good but I am afraid for him tomarroe, especially since he has been in the bottom twice of late.

Kellie: Horrible and she knew it and I will give her credit for admitting it and not making excuses. if she cut the dumb act out I would love her. I appreciate her politeness and all and she has toned it down a bit. I could see her in the bottom tomarrow but she has a huge fanbase so I wonder. The song was ok for her but she looked so stiff and uncomfortable up there-almost like she knew she would bomb or like someone picked the song for her like Simon suggested.

Ace: His best in weeks but still I am not sure if it was good enough. He looked really freaky and I am getting sick of that falshetto [!@#$%^&*] he does. He is still way to Constantine-like for my taste. I still see bottom 3 for him sicne he has been a regular there even though he did better tonight vocally and the judges liked him.

Katherine-I am not sure if this was her moment but this was definitely the best of the night and her best in awhile. She gets better every week and she was in her element tonight and looked great. She is just so close to having that magic Idol moment and cementing a place in the final IMO. Tonight she was flawless I am just not sure if it was it or not but it was great. Once she has one of those moments she will cement her place in standing next to Chris at the finale. She is way too good vocally not to be and she has the look and personality. She has now become my second fave (still hasn't passed Chris for me).

My bottom 3 based on performance would be Kellie, Elliot, and Ace but I think Kellie's fanbase may keep her out. In that case, despite her awesome performance I can see Paris ending up there if Kellie doesn't. No matter what I see either Elliot or Ace going based on the last few weeks and on performance tonight.

    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. 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.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.  
    • Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done. That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit.

       And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.
    • When Anita read Barbara's letter, it started out with the viewers hearing it in Barbara's voice as Anita read silently. And then Anita saying the next portion aloud while Barbara's voice continued simultaneously. And then ending with Anita alone saying the last part aloud. Excerpt from interview  (link to full interview) The rest may be spoilerish -- Only the nonspoiler part here: I love the idea of reading that letter,” shares Tunie. “And at one point in the script, I think it said that my voice joined her, and [Anita] started reciting the letter from memory because [she] memorized this letter. I suggested to Steve Williford, our director, ‘What if it’s like that moment in Hamilton when Hamilton is writing the resignation letter to George Washington, and then he starts saying it too, and then Hamilton’s voice fades away, and then it’s all George. What if we do something like that?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, my God! I just got chills. Let’s do it!’ So, we did it.” I understood that it worked really well, so I’m really happy about that.”  
    • I think MVJ and Guza made a good team in the launching of the soap, and I'm hoping that the rotation of all stories and characters is maintained once he officially departs from the credits. And so far, Ron C's breakdowns have been decent... but they pop only when he's paired with a good script writer like Jazmin.   I hope once Guza leaves officially... that MVJ is able to reign in Ron C and the dread Jamey G.
