miss denise

I got COVID tested and have been in bed all day, but will try to have them in tonight. I do already have most of the write-ups done at least.

Finally watched the finale and am so happy for Brandon winning! He's amazing and was my chosen winner from weeks ago. Lots of talent this season, but I was pulling for him.

New For The Love of Music today.

Yay! Aw, too bad you couldn't watch it live, but I saw you posted in the season thread, so I know you've seen it now. Ah, I can't say I agree here, sorry to say. I thought Turtle could win it too and was so beyond disappointed. OMG how did you know my two favorites like this?! You hit the nail on the head. Ah, glad I asked because I didn't want to spoil you on any of them! Ahh okay. Glad I haven't fallen too far behind. I wouldn't normally go out of town at this moment in time, but it was a family thing since my brother had surgery and needed someone there with him. Thank you, it was nice, all things considered. 010. Phil Stacey: Ah yeah, Phil did really hit his stride toward the end of his run, so it's a shame he was eliminated then. This was a good showing from him. 009. George Huff: Aw, I love that part with the remaining contestants surrounding him at the end. I loved George, so was so sad with his downhill journey. At least he ended on a better note. 008. Kristy Lee Cook: Simon's reaction. I agree this was one of Kristy's better ones and I enjoyed it too. 007. Hollie Cavanagh: Awww Joshua. So sad and sweet. Hollie was great on this song, and the hugs for the other contestants and judges on this was really heart-warming. 006. Haley Scarnato: Aw, I definitely get how this would be close to your heart. I think Haley sang and performed very well here! I also loved that little dancing moment with the boys. 005. Melinda Doolittle: She definitely performed like such a pro here. Love that moment with Blake giving her his flowers, aw. This was another top-notch performance from Melinda and I wouldn't have known she was just eliminated. 004. Jessica Meuse: This was my favorite song Jessica sang and I agree she performed with so much passion and conviction here. It's a shame (but understandable) she was so upset, but she delivered a solid performance. 003. Haley Reinhart: Her original performance of this was one of my favorites of hers and this is right up there with it! It's ironic you still didn't care for her the first time she sang this song, and now this one is ranked as one of your favorite exit performances. I love it though. She was amazing with this. 002. Allison Iraheta: YESS definitely one of my favorite swan songs! Ugh, her performance the night before was one of my favorites from her and I'm so annoyed she was eliminated. This was just as good... she absolutely slayed this! 001. LaToya London: I definitely remember this one. It was already an amazing showing from LaToya and even more impressive this one came after her elimination. She also slayed this and was so amazing.

Some interesting reveals here.

I love this @totes4totes

I pretty much agree with all this! I don't know if vote splitting could really happen, since big fans of both could just rank them back to back or super close? Ooooh yesss make me less of an enemy! Love that we all ranked the same.

I sooo relate to this.

I definitely did not expect Lilo to rank this high! I adore Lilo & Stitch and know the movie is loved by many, but I expected Stich to far outrank her. I actually thought someone might cut Lilo in the final cuts too. Not complaining though, because I love both Lilo and Stitch representing in the finals. Like I mentioned in my write-up, the movie was shut out from the finals in the movie rankdown so both of them here makes me happy.

I know.

@#jeah cutting A Quiet Place and Moana almost back to back. So many Disney movies nominated and cut these days. Also still crying over Knives Out I’m a sad public viewer lately.

I just realized only two male characters made the top 8... and they are both blue.

Catching Fire and Zootopia Hope my other faves nominated get saved.

lol to both of those. Not okay with me being a big enemy. Yes! Well, there are five public voters, so that's what I mean.

If you were just a few seconds faster, we would have had to do it all again. Hmm. But the public and I continue to be top allies, so.. I am also kind of the top ally of five people!!

Yay, four of my top 10 made the top 6! Not toooo bad. Hope they aren't the next four, at least.

Same. It should arrive today!

#7 is a very good spot for Mulan. Of course I didn't rank her that high, but I believe she ranked 6th for me among the remaining characters. We're so close to top 5.
