I agree with this. Fantasia isn't a mainstream/crossover "hit," but in the "R+B circle" she is very successful and respected. Fantasia has a TV-movie in the works about her troubled childhood that is going to air on Lifetime sometime this year.

The last I heard about Ruben, he released a Gospel album. I can't comment on it's success as I don't follow Gospel music :ph34r: He also started up the Ruben Studdard Music Foundation (or something like that) that helps kids. He's doing his thing but he isn't getting a lot of press :shrug:

As for Taylor vs. Katharine, I was dreading this final. I was hoping Elliott would make it through. I think (and hope) Taylor wins because I can't stand Katharine. I won't be buying any of these people's CDs.

Ruben/Clay I believe *was* the closest they've had.

But I'm positive about the Carrie/Bo thing. Although the source I think was Fox News, so, take it for what you will ... lol.

Not sure about Kelly/Justin or Fantasia/Diana though ...

Oh, to add, Vote for the Worst is endorsing Taylor and they have been since Kellie was voted out.

VFTW also takes the credit for Carrie winning AI4, which I sincerely doubt. They don't have THAT much influence.

If the gay online scandal did not come up, Clay would've released his 2nd (3rd if you count the Christmas album) album by now. A lot of stuff went down so Clay is laying low, and will make an album of just remakes (cop-out)

Hi, I'm a huge AI fan. Huge Chris Daughtry fan and so sad he isn't in the finals as he should be. My perfect two would be Chris and Elliott. Kat is the girl now and I hope she wins big. Last year was fabulous. I loved Bo most of course since rock if my style, but Carrie has done a great job so I'm not complaining. Especially since Bo is doing great as I hope Chris does, too.

Is anyone planning on going to any of the AI summer concerts this year? I've went the last 2 years when they've come to Green Bay, but this year they aren't coming here.....guess they're too big for a smaller venue. Bummer!

Same thing happened to me! I've gone the last 2 years. 1 year was in my own town and the other was in a town close by and the tour isn't coming to either town this year. I'm pissed, because I don't think I can go this year then.

:lol: about Fantasia.

But to her credit, she does have a TV movie coming out to Lifetime, for what that's worth.

Carrie has four Country Music Award nominations, which is, in my opinon, fan-freaking-tastic for someone who won American Idol only a year ago.

And frankly, since everyone is thinking Taylor will win, I'm going to continue saying the surprise of the season will come when Katharine McPhee wins :P

    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point.
