WOW I must be the only one that thought the guys were worst then the girls overall. I thought the same last week too. The girls were bland last night but tonight everyone but Chris, Gideon, and Elliot were off key and horrendously boring. I don't why so many girls and guys picked ballads this week. Well here is my opinions on the guys:

Taylor-Not a bad song choice but he was off key alot and he drove me nuts during the song with the body movements and the constant screeching "Yeahs". He isn't going anywhere but he needs to tone it down on his movements and his performing. He is a great performer I just felt he did way too much of it tonight and his vocals suffered. I do appreciate him throwing himself into every song and performance though.

Elliot-Took a risk and it paid off. I was very entertained and this is the second straight week he has impressed. Liked him alot and his vocals were effortless.

Ace-Boring and all over the place, much like one of my faves Mandisa last night only less entertaining. Picked a great song but his vocals went in and out and I agree with his own assessment about his voice being worn out. That is what I think happened but he isn't going anywhere. He has what it takes but he needs to make sure he doesn;t overdo his preparation and needs to pick songs that show his true range as a performer.

Kevin-The judges were being nice. This was horrible and annoying. This kid is so overrated and I have no doubt he will be safe because many people find him likeable and cute. I can't beleive they gave this kid decent responses but totally thrashed Will. Nonetheless, he is overrated and his vocals sucked. It was like something you would see at Disney World during a talent search on a stage at Magic Kingdom. Just a disaster IMO.

Will-Wasn't bad but the song was bland (which goes back to my point of way too many people picking ballads which drowns out someone who may actually do well with one). The judges were very hypocritical and he should have said something since I could tell he wanted too. They can;t tell him one thing last week and then tell him to go back to what they didn't want. He must be so frustrated. Nonetheless, he wasn't that good but he wasn;t horrible. The song choice was bad for me though and I still can't get past him looking like Bobby Brady.

David-Horrible. He should go team up with John Stevens (who was more entertaining oddly). Nothing appealing at all. His singing so doesn't fit his age or looks and it comes off so bad for me. He should go home because last week he showed he couldn't handle the pressure (he looked like he was crying) and this week he seemed like he had zero confidence and look teary-eyed again. He should go tomarrow no doubt.

Sway-Didn't like him last week when he was almost eliminated and I didn't like him this week. Another overrated one and this week he was so bland and generic. Nothing original about it and I wouldn't be surprised if he went and I actually hope he does.

Gideon-I don't like him or his personality (way too overconfident for me) but he impressed me tonight. I don't know if he is very likeable with that annoying smile and attitude but he should stick around if we are talking about his vocals and performance.

Chris-He is my fave and tonight was his big moment to shine. Incredible and chill-inducing. The first big performance yet of the competition. The closest ones were Paris and Lisa from last week and Ayla and Kellie from this week and now Chris alos this weel. He is so likeable with his backstory and all and now he just blew me away. This is one person that deserves to go all the way. You can tells he works so hard and I think he will be this year's Bo, who also had a awesome performance like this early on last year. Love him.

Overall, the girls are so much better as a whole. The guys have been flat for two straight weeks except for a few exceptions. I am not sure what you guys heard lol but I see it this way. Maybe by TV was screwed up but everyone I know and watch with thought the girls were better but I guess it depends on how you see it. Chris has been the only one though that has had one of those standout performances though IMO.

IMHO I think Elliot, Chris, and Tyler owned the show tonight. Elliot however won me over though. I will be rooting for him. Will and Gideon were pretty good too. Ace being a disappointment tonight didn't come as a shock to me. I didn't think his singing was all that great last week.

I find myself agreeing with Simon more and more lately. Is everyone in La La land where Kevin is concerned? I thought his performane last week was horrible, and I thought tonight's performance was just as horrible.

One more thing. Tyler was pretty good tonight, but I wish he quit with his mannerisms while on stage. I found it quite distracting.

I have to say I respectfully resent that.

The truth is, things that seem normal to you or me just AREN'T known by everyone. It's a fact. And to be perfectly honest with you? I've had a somewhat priveleged life and I'm more cultured than most my age and can tell you this: I didn't know what Calimari was until last year. I'm 23 for goodness sake.

She very well CAN be a "country bumpkin" who doesn't know about all that other stuff. Please don't write her off as some impostor just because she's had a more sheltered life. And I ask that of all of you. I don't believe Kellie is playing this up for one minute. She seems the most genuine.

Thanks. I agree. :)

God, I think this was the worst (at least the most BORING) week of A.I. EVER!

Chris was, by FAR, the best this week of all 20.

She's never heard of SPINACH SALAD!? Please. If you don't admit that she's playing up the act for America AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT then....wow!

Again, I have to disagree. I mean, if she never heard of spinach, yes. Definitely. !@#$%^&*] would be toast. And if she lied about never hearing about SALAD?! Well, honey, I'd PERSONALLY go to Hollywood to picket outside the studio for her removal from the competition. But Spinach Salad? Well, who's to say? Quite frankly, I've heard of it, but I have never had it. It actually sounds disgusting. So who WOULD want to know about that [!@#$%^&*]? :blink:

Honey, I'm from bumfuck West Virginia and I've known what the hell calamari, escargots, and mussels were since I was a kid.

If she is playing the "country bumpkin" card, It's working for her.

Now Bucky on the other hand.... He's a true hillbilly country bumpkin. "I'll take a biscuit and some IIIIced Tea" :lol:

btw Kellie's fave place to eat is a Thai restuarant in NC www.lycuisine.com They even had pictures with her but have since been taken down because of AI

My fave in the guys tonight were definitely Gedeon, Elliot and Chris. These three had the best performances in my opinion. I definitely liked Gideon's performance the most. I actually liked Will's performance as well. I think he really did well on that song. Taylor lost his edge from last week. He was not so good tonight. The worst were Ace and David. I like Ace but he didn't sing that Daniel Bedingfield song good, which is a shame because I love that song. But I think the two guys that will be departing is David and Sway. Did anyone notice how pissed David seemed to be when the judges were critiquing him.

With the girls, I think Lisa had the best performance. She is definitely my fave in the females. Paris, Mandisa and Ayla were also really great. Heather sucked. She made the stupidest song choice. The minute I heard her selection, I knew that she doesn't have the vocal chops to do that song justice. She made a stupid error. I think Brenna is entertaining...yes she's full of attitude but I don't think she is a !@#$%^&*]. I actually suspect that she is a really nice person, she just has attitude and spunk. Her performance was not as bad as the judges went on to say. I think Brenna and Heather are taking off.

Here is my ranking on who I like overall in the guys and in the girls...

Guys...

1. Elliot

2. Chris

3. Ace

4. Gedeon

5. Taylor

6. Kevin

7. Will

8. Sway

9. Bucky

10. David

Girls...

1. Lisa

2. Paris

3. Mandisa

4. Ayla

5. Katharine

6. Melissa

7. Kinnik

8. Brenna

9. Kellie

10. Heather

Okay, prediction time again.

GOING HOME:

Sway

David (although any one of Will, Sway, Gideon or Bucky wouldn't surprise me)

Kinnik

Heather

(although if one of them is spared to get rid of Brenna, that wouldn't surprise me, either)

I think the girls stink. I like Mandisa, Lisa, Paris and Katharine, but I still prefer all the guys. Heather and Brenna should be out. Heather has a Deana Carter type thin voice and should not take on Mariah songs.

Chris has been my fave since I first saw him audition. He knows what he's all about.

Someone called Elliott effortless and that is the perfect word. His voice is amazing and he doesn't look like he's struggling to hit the notes like some.

I love Taylor and think he did a good job last night but I didn't love the song choice.

Will's "Lady" was great. I was shocked all three judges trashed him. Paul and Randy completed Ace's horrid performance but Will was spot on. Obviously they want Ace to continue on the show. Last week, Will sang a fun, upbeat song so he slowed it down this week.

I loved Kevin's performance. I feel like he hits the notes which is more than I can say for some of these people.

I think David is so cute. Last week, the judges told him to go back to his comfort zone, so he did and they trashed it. I thought he was awesome.

I can't stand Gedeon but he did a good job last night.

Bucky was good last week and even better this week. He changed up The Thunder Rolls and made it a more difficult song to sing. Nice job.

Sway. What can I say? He was the worst by far and he will surely be gone tonight. The other guy out will probably be David, but I wish it would be Gedeon.

Chris Daughtry was the best of the night (again), loved his version of Fuel's song. I hope he wins the competition.

Also Elliott Yamin was very good with "Moody's Blues'. Also liked Taylor Hicks verison of the Commodores "Easy". I als liked Bucky Covington's version of Garth Brooks's "The Thunder Rolls". Also liked Will Makar's version of "Lady" by Kenny Rogers.

Gedeon & Kevin were also good. Also liked David, but he is boring.

I thought Sway was a lot better than last week, but I pick him to go and I guess David, or maybe Kevin since I can't see him as a star.

It's a shame that the worst 4 all around aren't the ones who will get kicked off, if so, I think at least 3 of the 4 worst would be women.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicate  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ‘unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tells  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that Steve  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
