Why do they do Michelle like that? I hate how people shade and diminish poor Michelle. Why do they have to refer to her as a Beyonce fan? She's Beyonce's equal. Hell, Michelle is part of the reason why Destiny's Child went on to flourish [instead of flopping] and becoming a powerhouse She is equally talented as all the other Destiny Child members. Her niche was always stronger in the soul/gospel arena. Yes, she may not be able to cut a rug like Bey, but she can sure as hell go toe to toe in the singing arena.

Besides that, I love how she stuck up for her friend and it was a joy to see Mike Huckabee recant and somewhat cower.

That's one thing I can say about Beyonce, Michelle, Kelly, and even LeToya and LaTavia to a lesser extent. They may have had their issues in the past but they will not allow you to dog any DC members.

Michelle can SANG! Go listen to her numerous gospel singles. Again, she might not have been the best dancer but she can sure as hell sing ... unlike 95% of the music industry nowadays. And she can give Bey a run in the singing department.

I like Bey but she ain't the end all be all. She's just lucky that she's that one artist that happens to be the total package of this generation, so everyone clings to her and places her on a pedestal.

Maybe but Michelle did help them maintain success. Betcha if you asked Bey, she'd agree. DC didn't hit their peak till the Survivor era, which Michelle contributed to.

And Beyonce would've flopped had she went solo after Letoya & Latavia left. Whitney & Mariah still had the game on lock as the Queen Bee soloists at the time, and it was all about Britney and Christina at the time. Beyonce would've floundered. She would've been like a Janelle Monae or Ledisi of that period--extremely talented but lost in the storm.

Mariah and Whitney? Survivor was released in 2001. Hypothetically if Bey had released her first solo album that year that was the year Mariah flopped with Glitter and a rail thin Whitney performed at MJ's 30th Annoversary concert. They were not a legitimate threat and Bey is not a pop girl. Britney and Christina were in their own lane. LOL I hope I'm not coming across as a delusional fan because I actually do agree that Michelle doesn't deserve most of the shade she gets. I'm sure she's unbothered as she is a millionaire and so is Kelly. I would laugh at it if I were them tbh.

Survivor came out in '01? So thought it was '00, so I stand corrected on that. But still, Whitney and Mariah had a draw to them. And had Glitter not came out like it did, I think it would've did decent numbers. Hell, Glitter happens to be one of my fave Mariah albums. :P But I digress.

But I do believe that Brit and Christina would've still overshadowed Beyonce had she came out in '00. A one to two year difference played a huge part in Beyonce's success and her being smart. I seriously think that she knew it was smart to stick with DC awhile longer.

And thank you for agreeing that Michelle does not deserve the shade she gets.

To each his/her own. I actually enjoy Michelle's singing abilities. Her parts in the DC songs tend to be my favorite. Can't nobody tear a bridge up like Michelle IMO.

    • Beverlee was on a whole other level from Kim. It's not like they were in competition with each other. I get the feeling that Kim had a slight problem with the super-professional, serious cast members who just wanted everyone to be prepared and do the work, as she seems to like having fun on set. (She's made a few cracks about Chris Bernau being like that). Bev was definitely one of those. But they didn't work together that much. Yeah, not only didn't they make her manic, but much weaker. She always had a vulnerability, but wanting to kill herself over that guy? No way. Not only that, he didn't leave her! She insisted he marry Maeve. When they did the tribute to Bert/Charita, the compilation of scenes with her showed how much the cast had been completely decimated. Almost every shot was of her by herself because nearly everyone she had worked with had been fired, left or been replaced.

    • A little too much focus on Chad and Cat today but I enjoyed the episode. I have a feeling that Jennifer’s gonna get dumped on though, even though I think that her anger is completely understandable and justified. And honestly, Ron is finally gone; Abigail can come back now.  But, welcome back, Anna! It was nice seeing Carrie have scenes with her mother. Christie Clark and Leann Hunley have never really had that many scenes together and to see them have them now is really nice. I’m glad that both of them were there to comfort Marlena too. Their words were definitely the thing that Marlena needed to hear. Btw, with all this talk of Noah, does it mean that he’s gonna be introduced soon? Amy, revealing that John changed her flat tire many years ago seemed a little random though. I would rather she have said something about how everybody in Salem knows of John Black because of how he was always such a hero. But at the same time, her story also showed what a great guy John was.  I liked Kate’s scenes with Philip too, and her promise to get back at Xander for what he did. And since we didn’t see JPL in the bed, did he need some time off or something? And yeah, everything involving ‘One Stormy Night’ still seems very Ron-like to me.
    • The second photo featuring the late John Spencer is from the Law & Order episode, "Prescription For Death", which was the (second) pilot/first episode all the way back in 1990! He played the father of a daughter that had gone to the ER for a mere sore throat but ended up dead because the doctor on call was drunk and had given her medication that she had an adverse reaction to, after receiving some other medication. So, he will always have that great distinction in addition to The West Wing. (The first pilot, "Everybody's Favorite Bagman", was filmed in 1988! The show was offered to CBS, but they passed. In syndication, it is oddly placed as the sixth episode of Season 1. And Roy Thinnes played DA Alfred Wentworth there. When NBC picked up the show two years later, Thinnes declined to return, and that's how we got Steven Hill's DA Adam Schiff.)
    • exactly. I can understand schadenfreude if it were real, but a lot of this is just an engineered distraction.
    • Days of our Lives S60E204 – Thursday, June 5, 2025 Okay, today’s episode was kind of boring. It was nice seeing Jack and Jen back, but they wasted an entire episode on Jen chatting with Julie - one scene would’ve been enough. Also, why didn’t Jack and Jen go comfort Marlena? And wouldn’t a flashback with Jack, Jen, and John have been great? Maybe something from the Cruise of Deception era? Bottom line - it feels like once John’s memorial is over and the returning fan favorites leave Salem… the show’s going to be dull again.
    • Everything with Elon and Trump is a stunt. If people, and the sycophantic press, are talking about their "feud," they are not talking about Republican plans to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. 
    • I can't fully remember, but I don't think they tried to get Beth Chamberlin back. I think Laibson/McTavish likely saw Beth as old news and wanted to move Philip on; either that or have her return only when Philip was closely tied to a new woman. Thanks as always for these recaps. I think I had stopped watching around this time and mostly kept up by reading in the soap magazines. Bridget's degradation was horrible to watch, as the character had grown so much over the years and was clearly regressed just to be a foil for a "hot" couple viewers had zero investment in. 
    • Having the majority of the cast on those low numbers is no way to tell story. And just 2 dayplayers for the month. So sad for the #1 soap.  
    • I believe it was. And this is actually one of the cases where I wouldn’t mind some dumb soap opera bringing back from the dead. They gave Mishael, Amanda, with all of Hilary’s connections but none of the personality except for fleeting moments. Hilary absolutely should’ve just left town. They decided to kill her and the baby. Just baffling,
