I don’t know what the deal was with that whole thing. It looked like some people brought clothes with them into the meeting and some didn’t. IIRC Skylar did bring her outfit with her so I presume she already had it picked out on her own.

Hopefully after seeing herself in that mess she will scrap it. It didn’t help that she wore it with a short fitted jacket that made her upper half look tiny.

I think Jlo is gorgeous, but I’ve heard her off-screen attitude is not like the one in front of the cameras in a rude to “the little people” sort of way. I have a hard time getting past that.

[retrokitten]

LMAO!!

i never really hated her voice, but her huge attitude just ruined it for me. Plus what was with that hair last night? Not cute.

A lot of that background was just unison. Or close to unison... :) kinda painful at times... :)

Really painful. I noticed the only one they let sing outside the unison a little was Joshua.

Good morning, Mags :)

[silent_jonny]

Thank you very much :)

[silent_jonny]

Thanks, Mark :)

Rafe was a friend and mentor of Andy. Andy wanted him on the show more but Rafe wanted to concentrate on his singing career.

You're absolutely right. Just found this about Rafe (Jack Prince).

Andy Griffith, who had met Prince when they worked together on Broadway in Destry Rides Again, wanted him to accept a larger role in the series, but Prince declined, believing that it would hurt the singing career he was committed to.

In September of 1991, after almost three nondescript decades on the local theater/nightclub circuit, Prince surfaced again to take part in a partial reunion of "Andy Griffith Show" cast members on TNN's Nashville Now. Almost 30 years after his last appearance in Mayberry, Jack "Rafe Hollister" Prince was greeted with thunderous applause by the show's faithful fans. Prince passed away in California three years later.

Howdy, J!! And good morning! :)

[silent_jonny]

MOgirl!

Great to see you! I'm doing fine. I hope you and yours are too.

Don't be a stranger! :)

Hi, Raebie!

getting a new puppy and I might be asleep my 8

I know what you mean. Puppies are like babies--and not in a cute way, lol :)

[silent_jonny]

I don't undestand that song and I don't understand why that girl was invited to sing on live television--especially after reading about her SNL debacle.

Anyone else singing like that wouldn't even make it past the Idol auditions.

Plastic surgery can do wonders.

I was watching it on DVR and was out of sync with the thread.

I knew it as soon as I put up the comment.

But thank you for taking time from your valuable day to make me feel worse.

[Chunga]

Don’t feel worse! I’m ostracized here and nobody reads what I write. I was joking around anyway. Cheers.

[silent_jonny]

This chick - I can’t even remember her name-is putting me to sleep...she must have the most boring concerts!

I can't imagine who would want to actually pay money to see that. Even teenagers have *some* taste right? lol

[silent_jonny]

Thanks you! :)

That should have been "Thank you!". But "Thanks you!" works too, lol :)

[silent_jonny]

I’m guessing you didn’t care for Haley’s performance ;)
