Academy,BAFTA,Critics Choice,Frederick Loewe,Golden Globe, Grammy awards winner will be sorely missed. T-Bone Burnett has set the standard. With or without the maestro I am looking forward to season two of Nashville.
Perfect response @Nicole........I purchased the first three books of, "Game Of Thones" and only halfway through the second book....while watching current episodes. After watching the "Red Wedding," the Kaitlyn chapters now are filled with consternation. I plan to finish the three books and on to book four and beyond...because I hate sad surprises. PS: George R.R. Martin is amazingly creative....and one of the best reads ever!
PS: Miranda, thanks for a great job of reviews this year...it was always a pleasure to stop by to read your thoughts...I love it when the reviewer knows a thing or many about music...you were the Keith Urban of reviewers..well done.
I haven't watch since Burnell was voted off before Lazaro...but wanted to catch the finale...and glad that I did...I was thoroughly entertained. There were a few highlights but a couple of my favorites were Candice and Jennifer Hudson..."Inseparable" wow that was unforgettable, best ever on Idol....I loved Mariah's set...Randy may have started out on BASS but the final shot he was playing a custom acoustic 6 string, see Nicky..the person you have hated all year (Mariah) sure was talented huh?? By the way Nicky...where was your set? Loved Candice and Kree's duet. Loved Angie and Adam Lambert and Jesse J... man...she has some pipes! The Aretha set was good...girls did great backing the Queen. Thoughts...I hated AI 2012 but the top 5 girls were best ever...Candice was deserving. So long, Randy J.
Minnie...I agree with you totally regarding Burnell. He was always so wonderfully interesting. I have never enjoyed a male more on Idol then Burnell. His idiosyncratic symbiosis of vocal and gestures and he always sang on key....I just loved watching and listening, watching the producers set him up for fail has been the worst. Idol is confused in thinking they need to be controversial to be relevant...I love all the girls, each uniquely talented...in terms of marketing however, Janelle will WIN...Janelle was been most consistent the past several weeks and Candace a close second.. Kree's vocals (IMO) lately have just "blended" with the mix..perhaps a pending set up for failure for Kree...I am NOT going to talk about Lazaro...forgot lyrics again during the duet..This is my last comment for TV FAN re: AI.....sorry, but I'd done watching...I'll catch up with the girls on youtube.
I have watched Idol..enough to know, that I don't think the producers err....the "Voters" didn't like Devin's double shot at the BUS DROP for both Lazaro and Burnell...kind of tacky....while the producers are looking at professional behavior as a priority. Lazaro has proven he suffers with remembering lyrics and melody,he should have never made it this far, that trio performance was the worse in Idol history, well, in my opinion, Lazaro was the reason. Sorry Lazaro...and I do agree, that performance by Katharine McPhee was very, very wierd...I kept waiting for something, anything...and it never came..would like to have a few words for the marketing mgr of this duo...I guess we are due for a "SHOCKING" elimination and Lazaro will finally go home.
Obviously one of the best male vocalists remaining is my main man, Burnell..he is so uniquely talented, I believe that if one dude can disrupt the producers challenge for the "girl" quest this year it will be Mr. Taylor. Burnell's idiosyncrasy of phrasing..and tone, the symbiosis of gestures and phrase as golden as any talented artist can have. His tone will sell and sell a a lot in my opinion. Janelle had me in tears..great performance. Kree my other favorite...was solid, unfortunately Kelly Clarkson sang that same song in season 1...so I compared it to Kelly's version...and Kree wasn't close, but decent. Angie chose the wrong song...but she looked good singing it.
Hi, I'm Pick One. I work for DISH....I pretend I have a legitimate reason to add a comment...I am happy to report that I am not really happy with my job, or..well.......life. The scam is that my company believes we can "SUBLIMINALLY" "get over on you intelligent AMERICANS." But I do understand that you will have nothing to do with DISH because of their underhanded means to selfishly scam our wears on someone else’s website.
So there is talk about cancelling one of my favorite shows???? Well, of course, it's on NBC. The Execs at NBC always cancel my favorite shows.. (Harry's Law, Kings, many others) and what they did to Conan was unforgivable.
Miranda, thank you for reviewing I must say, I really appreciate a reviewer that loves music; as it seems maybe you are a musician of sort...as I have noted week to week you seem to usually be on point, in terms of performance critique. I completely and totally agree with the TOP TEN...especially Kree, she has been my favorite since I heard her first note on AI 2013. The only person I would trade is Paul Jolly for Aubre Cleland, but that's just my hormones talking. With what has been a down year for AI, with a few I like in the Top Ten, there just might be an upside this year.
This was the only episode of Idol I've ever watched where I've actually fallen asleep! Other than Curtis Finch and Burnell Taylor (neither of whom will not win), there really isn't much else being produced by the contestants vocally that's all that impressive. The producers have manipulated this show in the ladies' favor so that another WGWG won't take home the prize. As for Charlie, he NEVER should have been put through to begin with. This kid needs serious professional counseling immediately. He could be a danger to himself. Parading him on national television is demeaning. It's been a great ride, but Idol is losing more and more viewers and the time for its demise is sadly coming very soon.
PS: Zoanette, I believe that she didn't ever rehearse...she butchered the lyrics on Tina Turner's "What's Love Got To Do With It."I am sure we will finally say, "GET THE HELL OUT!!" to Zoanette...based on her lack of music talent...I truly believe tho that Zoanette is a special soul, and beloved by many on IDOL....love to give her that, but not sure if I could take another performance like last night from her.
Okay boy's of American Idol...."Roll it up." Y'all just may as well go home...the girls got this....I totally agree with Lynsey's final five girl's...my favorite is KREE! She kind of reminds me of the Voice's season 3's Kaitlyn Michelle...of who I just loved.....I will listen to the guy's tonight...but YO DOG....it's a girls year..thanks to the producers. I actually enjoyed the Judges...I am slowly warming up to Nicky...but she still resides in a "weird space." Love Keith's and Mariah's critiques.
Larry Hagman....Rest In Peace....I believe.... never has there been a actor in a television series that has been so ardent, in the representation of nefariousness, in character reputation as Larry's portrayal; J.R. Ewing. He certainly personified the character as a person everyone loves to hate.
Well done, JR. To the family and friends of Larry Hagman my sincere sympathies. May he forever Rest In Peace.
I have never seen Sex In The City....so I am watching Carrie Diaries as a stand-alone television series and I love it...The producers do a great job of re-creating the eighties...the characters are interesting and charming...I love A.S.Robb as the lead....her acting is amazing...you can see the wheels turning in that sweet head of hers....I hope also the series gets renewed for a second season....may need some "tweeking tho." Reports indicating America just doesn't seem to be interested....sad.
Episode 3_01 Valar Dohaeris: "All Men Must Serve." in High Valyrian. I have never anticipated the first episode of any season more that I have for, "Game Of Thrones." a month away from today......
Watching American Idol since 2001, this is the first year AI (for me) has taken on the appearance of being a "Scripted Reality Show." Nicky M. did not like Bryant Tadeo yet he loved: Lazaro Arbos...yet he sounded just like Bryant???
and the producers sending Zoanette through...well....just nevermind...speaking of DISH....hocking your wears on someone else's platform is just, tacky and self serving.....be ashamed, be very ashamed............
Zoanette Johnson, what the HELL was that? That rendition of Francis Scott Key's Star Spangled Banner was an embarrassment. I agree Miranda about FSK turning over in his grave.....he also is FLIPPING her off. Seriously, is Am Idol Shark jumping by putting her through to Hollywood? What a joke, and nobody messes around with our National Anthem. To date: Rosanne Barr has never heard the end of it. America should be pissed....that was atrocious. If American Idols flames out this year, they will look back at this one audition...if you want to call it that.
Fringe follows the casework of the "Fringe" division a Joint Federal Task Force supported primarily by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The division which includes: Agent Olivia Dunham; Dr. Walter Bishop, the archetypal mad scientist; and Peter Bishop, Walter's estranged son and jack-of-all-trades. They are supported by Phillip Broyles, the force's director, and Agent Astrid Farnsworth, who assists Walter in laboratory research. The team is also watched silently by a group of bald, pale men who are called "Observers". The cases involved the "Division" Was not the Anna Torv or John Noble show. I appreciate the writers concentrating on keeping the cases in canon. Will miss
PS: I do agree regarding Amanda's weak in weak out, over the top performance as the token bad guy. Lets face it, Percy set the standard, and Amanda couldn't hold Percy's Black Box, even if she tried, she even pales in comparison to Roan as well. Amanda would be great if she were cast as a "enestition" at Sears. I love to embrace all the Nikita collective...but character amanda is a tough one to establish any credibility with me...just my opinion.
Michael losing his hand may set up for himself, as a potential replacement for Ryan Fletcher ....I believe that Ryan tests out as a better field operative than a director. Michael would be a dynamic fit to lead Nikita and her beloved gang, and still has an AX to grind with Amanda. Great Episode.
Fantastic episode, only 3 left. I felt bad for Nina, but she gave Windmark nothing. After this episode, for the first time, I became a real fan of Nina's character. No need to "guess" where they may go to end the series, just will sit back and enjoy the ride. Happy Holidays
