I'm a big country fan so I will give my opinions:

Taylor: this is the first time I can say I didn't FF or change the channel during his performance. So I guess you can say I didn't hate him tonite

Mandisa: by far her worst performance... if you're going to sing Shania... be careful, "the Woman in Me" would've been much better for her voice than "Any man of mine"

Elliott: at that point in the show he was the best. however, he uses too much vibrato... if he would just keep the voice smooth it would've been the best for the night

Paris: i don't really like her, but this performance was okay... btw, if you watch Nashville Star, Kristen McNamara performed this one tonite too and was MUCH better than Paris

Ace: this is the best he's been in a couple weeks, but I think it will ultimately be his swan song

Kellie: she was fine... i didn't like the way she cut up Reba's song. I understand they have to shorten it for tv, but Kristen McNamara on Nashville Star did it better last week (or was it two weeks ago? :blink: )

Chris: best of the night IMO

Katharine: boo hiss boo... that was NOT country :angry: if i could pick who goes home, i'd send her packing... but alas i think she has too many fans right now

Bucky: okay so i flipped to the Gilmore Girls and missed his performance... but my hubby says i didn't miss anything :lol: the little bit i caught in the end when they show snippets of everyone i could tell he probably ruined a good song...btw Nashville Star's Chris Young performed "I may be a real bad boy, but I'm a real good man" and sang circles around Bucky's rendition... not saying much i know... but anyway, Chris Young is to Nashville Star what Chris Daughtry is to American Idol this season IMHO

my bottom 3 pick: Ace, Mandisa, Katharine and Ace is going home

LOVE me some country music! :D

Taylor- My man didn't do so hot tonight, but I LOVE that song..I knew it and I think that's why I enjoyed it. He sang it the best way you can sing that song..it's just a really mellow one...anywho..I hope Tay is safe tomorrow...but who knows..

Mandisa- Country music is definitely NOT for her...I really really didn't like her song choice tonight...it sounded as if she couldn't keep up with the lyrics..ehh I dunno

Elliot- Awesome! LOOOVe Elliot and I love that song! Love me some Garth! He should def. be safe.

Paris- Eww. I am shocked Simon liked her peformance...again she can't sing country worth a dern...hehe. I hope she's in the bottom 3...

Ace- I liked Ace AND his song...but I'm a fan..so maybe that's why.

Kellie- LOVED her. She was great. Fancy is definitely a hard song to sing...and Reba does it 10 billion times better, it is her song, but anyway..Kellie did a great job singing it. She looked cute too! And I'm glad she had a chance to 'splain herself to y'all ..whether you believed it or not..

Chris- He was good, as always. I'm GLAD he finally didn't do it all rock-ish. I liked him tonight! He'll be safe.

Katharine- AWESOME. This was the ONLY song I didn't know tonight out of all 9 of them, but Katharine did a great job! She BETTER be safe tomorrow...

Bucky- He's alright, but I'm just tired of hearing his growling voice every week...I dunno..:huh:

:lol: I know, me too!

Country definitely isn't for most of the AI contestants!

I loved Katharine's performance, and also thought Chris, Elliot and (unfortunately) Kelly all did well also.

Ace did better than last week and I thought Bucky did ok too.

I'm thinking Mandisa, maybe Ace and either Bucky or Paris in the bottom 3 tonight.

OK just watched...

I think Paula was drunk last night...just watch her when the others are talking...and Ryan - NO to the beard...you looked horrible.

I love Gary Allen and Bucky just didn't do the song justice IMO. Same with Garth and Elliot's version - just didn't work for me.

I thought Kellie, Chris, Ace, and maybe Katherine were the best tonight.

Bottom three: Bucky, Elliot, Mandisa/Paris

Not a great night for everyone once again. I think Kellie, Chris and Katherine were the best. Bucky was real good too. Taylor was ok but it was so kareoke. Paris was slack..u can hear all the nervousness in her voice and that she was concentrating too hard. Mandisa was horrible!! Chris was great...even Ace was pretty good. Eliiot wasn't bad!!

You may not like Simon but he is almost always spot on each time with his judgement. He's damed if he does and damned if he doesn't.

I was SO glad Paula got booed. It's about damn time.

Chris: Very very good. Much better than the past two weeks.

Mandisa: Good. Average though. Not her best but still very good.

Taylor: Not so good. He's picked bad songs for the past two weeks; he gets a good one and his voice just sounded off. The song was NOT him.

Ace: Wow. I actually liked him tonight. He's still a creepy [!@#$%^&*]...

Paris: She did awesome. Very very good.

Elliot: Simon was SPOT ON about him. Nuff said. Still a fave.

Katharine: Good; not great. She needed a more WOW performance after being in the bottom three.

Bucky: Eh. He mumbles too much.

Kellie: Good; not stellar but it worked for her.

Bottom three is SO tough. I'd say Bucky for sure. Maybe Paris and Taylor? Or who the hell knows... it's hard... I predict we get another shocker though.

    • Cat herself will be a stumbling block all her own as she vowed to Chad to stay away from him, thus redeeming her of her crime morally. Classic DAYS would have them gazing longingly at each other at Doug's Place or Blondie's, while Liz is serenading the room with a song aptly chosen to represent their feelings of emotional turmoil.
    • From what I just recently watched, they were setting her up to go into future stories. She was Emmy nomination worthy in the material I saw. If some viewers did not like her, the character could have been rehabilitated after that sick storyline. It feels like they destroyed a character for fun and then tossed her to the curb. Spencer had chemistry with everyone. I'm just retroactively angry on Spencer's behalf.  You're right about how Cheryl was often forgotten and pushed aside and I would take Cheryl over Josie. I think soaps need characters like Cheryl. Characters like Josie are way too common. Josie always got on my nerves.
    • CBS was back in third place in 1994/95. That was the season CBS lost NFL broadcasting rights which also cost them several established affiliates in major media markets. 1995 CBS was sold to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. 1995/96 CBS was trying to be young and cool to compete with NBC and Fox, but it was an epic failure and CBS was once again in third place.
    • I tend to think that Chad will actually listen to Jen (this time). And that will be the next stumbling block in their relationship, which will open the possibilities for Cat to seek another member of their love triangle... To iterate my earlier thought, I am also not a fan of the person Melissa Reeves, but the character of Jennifer looks so chic this week, especially in comparison to Hope (and Gabi).  That blunt haircut is a winner.   
    • I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. Their connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters. All this talk of Jennifer being in the wrong regarding Cat is absurd. Jennifer is not being villainized in any way, shape, or form, she's just being allowed to actually be human, which adds odds to the obstacle of Chad and Cat eventually getting together. All inner conflict. Keep it coming!
    • Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.
    • My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
