Yeah Carrie is doing very well. Her only problem on AI was she never showed as much personality as she does now. She was always nervous and worried about what people thought. The only time she showed emotion and who she was was during her whole breakdown when Anthony got kicked off and they mouthed I love you to each other (something was definitely going on there). She also was much more relaxed in the finale and afterwards during interviews and such she was like a differen person. She always had it vocally but I only wish she was mroe relaxed in AI or that she showed her personality and emotion a little more prior to Anthony's elimination and the finale and beyond. Maybe then people would not have been turned off by her so much. Although if you don't like country music then you won't like her but she also has some pop songs on her album too and they are really good. I guess its up to what everyone's tastes are but I do think her stiffness and lack of emotion and personality on AI hurt her likability with some people but she has a huge fanbase,as evidenced by the voting on AI and on her sales.

Well Simon did say she would sell more then any other previous Idol winner and she is very marketable and in a very popular genre. Her album can cross into several genres including country, Christian, pop, and country pop and that makes it pretty accessible and appealing to varying groups of people.

One of the main problems with AI is that the contestants can't be themselves, and when they try to break out, they get criticized. Also, they're trying to please the judges too. Take away Simon, Randy, and Paula and those limiting theme nights, I'm sure most would shine and give it all they got.

Carrie Underwood's personality is perfect for country music, where less is more and excessive flashiness is looked down upon for the most part.

Carrie Underwood rocks. Kellie may have more personality but she lacks talent. Carrie has talent in spades.

Kelly Clarkson will forever be the best AI winner. Ever.

Kellie will suck once again this week but I think it's Paris's time to go.

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see Chris, Paris and Elliot in the bottom three.

But can the show be that predictable? Yes...

Anyway, I think a guy will win (Taylor or Chris)... but Katharine has a great chance if she keeps knocking these songs out of the park. She really reminds me of Kelly. A slow but steady performer who kept rising and rising and rising... In AI-1 I thought for sure Justin or Tamyra would win (but I wanted Kelly) but then bam ... Kelly won.

But in AI2, it was pretty obvious Clay would win but then bam ... Ruben won.

In AI3... I guess it was pretty obvious Fantasia would win. The judges almost always loved her... Me personally, I would of rather had Latoya. She was pretty much robbed.

In AI4, from the start I figured Carrie or Bo would win.

So.... I think Chris or Taylor will win.

Katherine was really good IMO - I think this is the first time I completely disagreed with the judges.

Elliot was ok.

Kellie was HORRIBLE. She butchered that song and was so stiff up there. I really did not like it at all. She needs to GO.

Taylor wasn't good at all either, but not as bad as Kellie.

Paris was good.

Chris was amazing. Great great job - I still say he should be the winner, with Katherine coming in 2nd, and Paris in 3rd.

    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • 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.)
    • 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!
