Paris is such a cutie....I know she doesn't have a strong fanbase, but I'm so glad that she makes it through each night.....I really like listening to Chris sing; I would buy an album of his in a heartbeat... :)

I unfortunately have a feeling that Paris might be the one going home tomorrow; I hope not, but she's been in the bottom three so many times, I don't know if she'll be able to escape getting sent home :(

Wow did not really care for tonight's show at all. I like the billboard theme but the other theme of choosing from the year of birth sucked. I guess I am happy the theme was broader though.

Elliot: Horrible. First song was a mess even though he didn't do terrible vocally and the second song he sang well but it was very boring. Simon was right-he should be worried about his chances (especially with the title of last song).

Paris-First song was terrible and the second song was a little better. She had a nice vibe going with the Mary J. Blige song but it wasn't a great performance. It was just an ok one. She should be worried too.

Chris-His first song was incredible. The second song he strained is vocals a bit, obviously, but even without that I would not have cared that much for it. He still made something out of the second song though but I don't like him picking those "schreeching type" songs. He should be fine though.

Katherine- Her first song was awful pitchy but she saved it with a good ending. Her second song was unique, alot of fun, and she performed and sang it great. She should be fine-that second song was a great way to grab attention and votes. I never even heard of that song before but it was really funny :lol: .

Taylor-First song was great performance-wise but he needs to show me more vocally then he did in that song. I appreciate him throwing himself into the performance but its getting annoying (especially tonight with him collapsing). The second song was ok vocally but very boring. Its actually my least favorite Beatles song. I think his erratic first performance will get him through because people like that but that is gonna be his downfall within the next two weeks.

Bottom 3: Taylor, Paris, and Elliot. I feel Elliot will go home but would not be surprised if Paris did given her past history in the bottom and the fact that she wasn't great tonight either.

I think that Paris will be the one going home tomorrow.....

To me, it's pretty much going to be Chris and Katharine competing against each other; My votes are going to Chris....I really was bummed when Bo Bice didn't win last year, mainly because I was looking to see a contestant with a rocker edge win....maybe this time, we will finally get our rocker... :)

Elliot: - First song was blah, "Home" was awesome! Elliott is safe for another week.

Paris - I thought she did okay, but she's a goner

Chris - I've said it before, The only range this guy could show is if he was a model on The Price is Right. It's either growling or screaming, and it's not sexy! He wishes he was as good as Ed Kowalczyk, Chad Kroeger or Anthony Kiedis.

Katherine - First song was okay, but she rocked KT Tunstall's Black Horse and the Cherry Tree.

Taylor - This is what AI is all about! He showed his fun side and gave a "performance" on the first song, and then went serious and showed off his amazing vocals on "Something" SAFE!

Katharine - first song wasn't very good. Second one rocked. I think I'm definitely in love, lol.

Taylor - I thought he sounded so much like Wild Cherry it was scary. But he didn't seem into it tonight. I dunno. Just okay for me.

Paris - Loved her tonight. I know I'm in the minority but that girl can SING. She has some issues but is very good.

Elliot - "Home" was good. On Broadway sucked.

Chris - the first song was decent. Second song was BAD. I'm really sick of him screeching. He seems to be phoning it in also. It's like this is all he can do. He rocked last week ... sucked this week.

Paris or Elliot is out. Just a matter of which one. I'm actually going to say (with huge reluctance) Elliot is out.

Chris Daughtry makes me moist. :D He was great again tonight. The first song was obviously better. Katharine's first song was incredibly awful! Surprisingly awful for her.

"Good night and good luck" to either Elliot or Paris tomorrow. I think Elliot's performances tonight were both very blah, but Paris has been bottoming for weeks now.

Chris was average tonight. Good but his usual boring song-choice self. I really want to root for this guy to win but he's making it so hard.

Paris was great tonight. I stand by that. But I am changing my mind. She'll be the one out.

A guy is destined to win this year. I frankly wouldn't be surprised to see an all-guy final three.

I think Chris was the best. Loved his version of "Renegade", I also thought he was good with Shinedown's "I Dare You". (2nd) Katharine was a little off with "Against All Odds(Take a Look at Me Now)" but I really loved her version of KT Tunstall's "Black Horse & The Cherry Tree", actually liked it better than the original. (3rd) Paris Bennett next, was pleasantly surprised of her versions of Prince's "Kiss" and Mary J. Blige's "Be Without You" (surprised that Simon said she screeched "Kiss" and that Paris sang the word "[!@#$%^&*]" in Mary J's song (it was edited out, but we know she said it). (4) Probably Elliott, liked him with "On Broadway", but thought Michael Buble's "Home" was his worst performance to date, (5) just because I can't stand his old drunk act, Taylor Hicks.

I like Chris and Katherine the most tonight, followed by Taylor and Elliott and then Paris. I just did not enjoy Paris at all this week. I liked both of Taylor's song but for entertainment loved the first one the best. Loved both of Chris'- first was his best. Katherine's second song was the best.

I hope Paris goes tomorrow.

    • 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.
