I don't know what this means, but it cracked me up.

Not my ideal result, but I'd feel so bad for someone to be eliminated alone in their hotel room.

Wow, my stream must really be behind because I'm getting spoiled in here. *shuts eyes*

I love the versatility Leah showed with her two performances tonight.

This is so pretty.

Lionel’s closet.

This song.

The first round didn’t go at all how I expected. But looking forward to the Mother’s Day performances.

Noah performing from his hotel room.

Very intrigued by this out-of-the-box song choice.

Not a fan of that rendition.

I don’t get it for theme but I liked Fritz’s song.

This song choice.

Oh no, that’s unfortunate. Hoping they get well soon and everyone else stays safe and healthy.

The "baby mammoth" chant has randomly come into my head multiple times since last week. This last part. I never expected the finale to be made up all of one team. Aww you shouldn't feel bad if he was disguising his voice.

Yes, this is true. It was such a long period of postponing the show too that I guess I felt kind of numb it to it by the time it was cancelled, even though I'd love to see him again. My wallet was hurting though so the refund was welcome. Thank you for my subtle hint. And glad it wasn't just me! - Makes sense, I just wasn't paying attention to that. Now I need to see what it was. lol. - I'm not sure if I'd want to see that or not. - I agree. Ooooh. - Oh, now that you mention it... I do kind of remember. I was thinking "oh here we go" with the same few names they always mention. But if they continued on and named all the winners (which I don't remember), then that is weird. - He did and here it is! - I wonder if they weren't able to get Alejandro or Madison for some reason. I'm also thinking they weren't able to get Adam because I don't think there's any way they wouldn't have had him on the show if they could. So that's what makes me wonder who else Kris would have sung with.

Of course! Aww it makes sense and was a good note to share it on. Oooh, so there is hope.... despite the movie quote. I'll keep hope alive for you. Aww I understand but I appreciate you sharing that. lol thank you. It reminds me of some old Idol auditions. I bet. It is! It was 10 years between my first and second time seeing David and that seemed like forever. You have me beat! I know I can't.

Oh, that's great! I also should have realized the first two albums are the most nostalgic to me since they were the only ones out when I went to her concert. Ah yeah, I didn't even know he still couldn't speak until the reunion last night! It's a shame, but I've thankful to have still seen and met him multiple times. I suppose that's true. It's easily the best thing about the reboot for me. lol I saw several people mention this last week and then of course the show opens this way. It was fun, especially with the voice actors joining in! I thought it was a strong night overall, but am definitely over some of these songs always being picked. "What was with Derek Hough being the mentor?" lol. I'm not sure what happened with Ben, but I was thrilled and shocked to see Derek. He can offer great advice. And yay, my subtle mention. OMG I agree about Katy's costume, but I was more so annoyed with her antics trying to fit into her seat. - "this or something from Cars" But yes, he smiled! A lot! It almost felt rehearsed to me, although somehow genuine at the same time. I almost wanted to laugh. I don't know how to explain. - Wait, I totally missed anything about her actual last name. But I agree about this performance! And yay her representing me with Derek. - Same. - LOL imagine what the dancing to this would be. - Ugh, I was so annoyed with this song choice. I felt like his voice was whiny on it. - Ahhh I actually agree so much. Of course, I'm not really a fan to begin with, but yeah... I didn't like what he did with this song (which I also love). - I admired Emyrson's out-of-the-box song choice, but also had a feeling it wouldn't do her any favors. - Aww I love how you say Mike's voice was your favorite. I think he suits country well and I love that style on him... He's been one of my favorites, but this week wasn't so good for me. So not surprised he left after that performance, especially with three having to go. "flames" - Yesssss, three hours of this show would have been amazing! I was also sad not to get much of a good look at who was in the lounge. I could only pick out a few of them. Oh, did the judges actually critique anyone? I don't recall that. - Really about Fantasia? I didn't notice. - I couldn't believe it when William Hung came out... except I could! I wish I got to watch this with my parents because my dad always cracked up at him, every single time. - I hope so about Maddie. Gabby is definitely the most successful alum in a long time, so I'm not surprised she gets more focus... I feel both of them deserve it. I don't actually like Maddie's dark hair at all, but love that her and Caleb are happy. OMG yikes this comment on him... and the one on Lionel too, but this one hurts more. Aww I always loved these two singing together though. - So hurtful. I did actually see David Cook tweet something about meeting the girls and apologizing. I couldn't help wondering how awkward it would be if these girls aren't still friends after all these years. Not in a bad way, but just because people often grow apart from childhood to adulthood. But yay for Archie! I hope his voice will be okay again soon. omg the Bieber comparison! - I have to agree. It was actually the only one I didn't really care for, which is such a shame... The song just did nothing. - omg this about Willie and an uptempo song! Oh, but I really enjoyed this duet actually. - Yesss! And I thought it was going to be Dunkleman too! - Oh. This was the highlight for me because I loved them together sooo much and yes, shipped them back then. lol I'm not still imagining them getting together now, but I adore their friendship. They both have gone on to have amazing careers, so this was such a special moment. - I love it! - Aww I thought it was great and would have just liked it to go on longer. I noticed Laci was the only one to perform who didn't make the finals on his/her season, so I'm not surprised those you mentioned didn't perform. The matchups all seemed to make sense in some way too, with most of them obviously being from the same season. But yeah, it would be fun to see so many more alum perform. I have to imagine that Archie would have sang with Cook if he was able to, so then I wonder if Kris wouldn't have performed at all or they would have squeezed him in with someone else (and who?).

It was so good to see him last night, even though he couldn't speak.

I enjoyed them all so much, but my personal favorite has to be Lauren and Scotty.

Just learned about her new song from the reunion last night! I'm listening right now and she sounds amazing.

Wow, this episode gave me all the feels. I wish it had gone on all night. It was so amazing to see so many Idol alums, especially with them performing together.

I figured! And no surprise there about Kat. Oh yeah, I can only imagine being surprised with someone you love like that. It would have killed my chances too. Aww I don't think I knew your opinion on their marriage, but I totally get your concerns and it's very valid. I would feel the same if it was someone I adored in that situation (and with some heavy emphasis on the jealousy part too ). lol she might like a younger guy if she met the right one! But aww I appreciate you sharing your thoughts here and everything you feel is valid. That's so sweet you got to witness their bond in person and I'm glad that could help you feel better about their relationship too. I wish all the best for him. But I can't say I forgive him forgetting that move title! Haha yes! That doesn't surprise me. Aww that is nice. Ahh yeah, we may never know, but it would certainly be something. I'm so sorry. Makes sense! And of course you were most anticipating her. You couldn't have anticipated Pia anyway. Ahhh yeah not surprised about that with Michael! I'd want a picture too. I love that so much! I mean 15 years is a lot of time to grow as a performer, but I can still imagine seeing it in person for yourself. I never knew this but wondered since he didn't sing on TMS. I understand! Aww too bad Loren didn't sing more. Yes, of course about the dress. Ahh understandable! That's great. Yay! I did and yes, I saw the pics too!

Oh yay! Yes, you do have some time to do that. Awww I loved those albums and those songs really take me back too. Ooh maybe! The David Archuleta concert I bought tickets to in 2019 was postponed about four times before ultimately being cancelled... but because of him rupturing a vocal cord, not COVID. It was such a journey with that one. I hope there's more than this. Oops. You did say it was a serious earworm though, so I didn't think that was torture. Aww I loved that too. True! I suppose so. lol yes! Me too. Yeahh, that's exactly what I was thinking.

I was also hoping for that song choice.
