I think all of the IDOLS except Kellie Pickles were good this week.

The best of the night was definitely Katharine McPhee----OUTSTANDING, and I agree very professional.

Chris Daughtry, Paris Bennett and Elliott Yamin were next. I was surprised that I actually thought Taylor Hicks was good, since he's been getting on my freaking nerves for awhile now. My bottom 3 ----Ace Young, Taylor Hicks (although IMHO Ace & Taylor really don't deserve it either) and of course Kellie Pickler, with the !@#$%^&*] going home!! Please, please let it be. TV GUIDE's poll has her and Ace as the bottom 2, with Ace going home. So fellow Pickle haters, she may be gone soon, soon. Let's hope!!!!!!!

:D

:D

I agree. I though he showed lots of personality and was one of the night's best. I voted for him, Chris, Katharine and Paris.

Exactly about Kellie. Chris definitely was out of his element, but definiely does NOT deserve the bottom 3, in fact, he was one of the best.

You know, it is just amazing. I can't see how Chris was so good. I mean, thank GOD he didn't go for a stupid heavy metal take on the standards but he just didn't blow me away. If we handed out letter grades, I'd actually give him a B-. Good effort but nothing groundbreaking.

McPhee is a McPHENOMENON. She should win this thing. And she most certainly had her moment last night. So much feeling and connection with the song and audience...I think she even shed a tear during the song. I recorded it and played it over and over and over again and it seemed like that's what it was.

And about Kellie. I just think some of you hate her guts no matter what. She wasn't THAT bad on her song. Her big problem was rushing ahead of the music. Otherwise, she could have handled it. Granted, she wouldn't have had it locked, because it wasn't the right song for her voice..but she wouldn't have "butchered" it if it were any other song. That song was CRAP.

I can't wait 'til the naysayers about Katherine McPHABULOUS eat their words--particularly the ones on this board who've displayed much criticism toward this McLegend-in-the-making!

ITA.

Also, the last three weeks have just been blah and unimpressive and boring. *THIS* is one show that should get better and better with every season - not worse and worse. I thought maybe the last two weeks were just bad weeks, but after three consecutive weeks, it's hard to keep blaming bad song choices and lame themes.

:lol:

My rents are little worried for Kellie. Although, I don't know why. She's too popular to leave yet, if at all. And besides, I kind of liked how she admitted it sucked. The contestants don't do that enough. I respect them when they do that. :lol:

Sorry ... Kellie blows chunks.

I thought this week was great compared to the last two weeks of pure hell and horrendous performances.

I'm actually becoming a Taylor fan. To me, I'm disappointed because Paris, Chris, Taylor, Katharine and Elliot all have the potential to be fantastic, yet they still aren't all that great yet.

Argh. This is a disappointing season because good ones are eliminated and the sucky ones stay because they are "hot". I miss the first AI when it was actually based on talent (Except for the Nikki debacle).

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • 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.)
    • 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.
