I loved the theme tonight (I love Bocelli and that Foster guy was great-finally a guest who doesn't pull any BS and pushes the singers) but boy was I disappointed. This was the perfect week for the singers to show their stuff vocally and most of them flopped. Here goes:

Katherine: I could not disagree with the judges more. There was a few pitch problems but not enough to call the performance a flop. It was one of the best of the night and I just love how the judges say all the time to be original but tonight they tell Kat she was nowhere close to how Whitney sang it. I personally loved that she threw herself into it and commanded the state. She also looked beautiful. She was not that bad at all.

Elliot-Finally he sings something a little different and I loved that. First time in a few weeks I have loved him. Great vocals and showmanship. He showed great personality and the fact that he loved the song had to help. Only thing I hated was Paula crying. I loved Simon laughing at her and I get Elliot had a tough life and all but she acted way too emotional. It just bugged me for some reason.

Kellie-Terrible. Get her off already. I am sick of AI trying to make us like her and trying to pull for more sympathy for her. I do feel bad for her based on her past but I am just sickened now. Tomarrow night is her time to go-how many songs must she butcher before she gets tossed? Simon should have never been cut off-I wanted to hear more.

Paris: Loved her. She has really turned it on the last few weeks. I think she is this year's Vonzell. She looked and sounded great and I don't think the judges gave her enough credit (the judges were just being bitches tonight like they seem to be every year at the halfway point-most likely trying to push the singers).

Taylor-Ok but not his best. The ending saved it from being a total bore. He has a big fanbase but he may be in some trouble tomarrow because his entermainment value is his bread and butter and tonight he was out of his element and was a bore and that is not what people like about him. He has vocals but the performance and entertainment factor matter most with him.

Chris-Words can not express how great that was. That was fantastic and he proved to the world he can sing anything. Great song choice, loved the background instruments and just the whole feel. If he isn't in the finals its a joke.

My bottom 3 would be Kellie, Taylor and probablty either Elliot or Paris even though they were good. Katherine was too good to be there but I guess she could turn up there too but no matter what Kellie should go.

Actually each singer had 2 lines tonight so it went like this:

Kat: 01, 07

Elliot: 02,08

Kellie: 03, 09

Paris: 04, 10

Taylor: 05, 11

Chris: 06, 12

Katharine

Fantastic. She was pitchy a bit but what were the judges smoking!? She did great.

Taylor

It was good performance. Kinda boring, IMO. He has a good voice, but I dunno... just wasn't the best for him. He can do way better.

Elliot

Best of the night. Hands down amazing. 'Nuff said.

Chris

Much better this week. I think his performance got him out of the bottom three. Didn't show a whole lot of the Chris everyone is used to, but still good.

Paris

I thought she was great! I worry about her chances though :(

Kellie

Butchered another wonderful song. She had a moment or two I actually enjoyed it, but overall, she sucked again.

America ... get ... a ... clue ... Pickler SUCKS! Personality or not...

Bottom three?

Katharine/Elliot and Paris and Kellie

Paris goes home

DialIdol is also reporting Kellie and Paris have the lowest total in everything (busy signals, votes, etc.). Katharine and Elliot are neck and neck for that third spot while Chris and Taylor are the top two. Say hello, folks, to our final two of the season, Chris and Taylor (IMO).

I think Katherine did pretty good. Was she great no but the judges were really tough on her. I think after all the praise from them last week they were just expecting alot more than they received.

I'm not a hugh elliot fan but he did well tonight.

Kellie- this girl needs to go home she is just taking votes away from people with talent.

Paris-I like her but felt she was off tonight imo

Taylor- started off tough but he really pulled it through in the end

Chris-I loved it. Showed another side but he did really well with it. No he isn't Brian Adams but it still sounded great.

Best to worst

Chris

taylor

katherine

elliot

paris

kellie- please just leave and put us out of our misery.

Chris Daughtry and Elliott Yamin were the best tonight, voted for both. Katharine was good, but wish she picked something else, "I Have Nothing", is to identified with Whitney Houston. I also think the judges were too hard on her. Paris was good too. I actually can't believe I liked Taylor (who I usually hate) better than the judges tonight.

The bottom should be Kellie Pickles, who should go the hell home (she should've gone weeks ago, she's pitiful and horrible and fake, and the worst singer to make it to the Top 10 ever IMHO). Taylor should also be in the bottom 3, with I guess Paris the last of the bottom 3.

KATHERINE= AWFUL! I don't know what her fans are smoking, but I want some. Zzzzzzz.

Elliot - Outstanding.

Kellie - AWFUL! High note was good, but the rest was...wow.

Paris - So talented, it's mind-blowing!

Taylor - Boring.

Chris - Good. Ok. Meh.

I'm afraid for Katharine's safety. I may not know a lot about music, but that sounded pretty damn good to me. I've heard a bunch of performances even worse than hers (or so they claim) that were crap, but nobody went after those. (Bucky, Kellie, Ace..) I'm sure Kellie is safe another night, Chris was great, Taylor was good..Paris and Elliot put me to sleep. Paula's on drugs.

    • 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.
