Season 12 Live Thread

[Bookworm13]

That was unexpected, even though this performance wasn’t as good as her others. Now I kinda want them to use the bell tonight. 
 

@SweePea59, yeah they kinda did. I was confused 😆
 

Yay, Goo survived!

Gotta say I liked Goo better.

Maybe all those weird Jello salads were invented in the 60s.

I thought everyone sounded great. They must really want a guy to win this season. I still want Buffalo to win I love Boys to Men.

Was last night the only time they can use the bell?

Yes, that was it for this season. I thought it was going to be used because both Goo and Wasp are very good.

I had a different thought for Wasp earlier but I think the judges guess of Mario is a good one.

The vocals for Goo now have me doubting my earlier thought of it being Johnny Gill.

[NeenerNeener]

Ok, Nick is wearing a shirt. Good start.  Ken's suit is a bit loud. but no louder than Nick's I guess.

Forgive me for not knowing names, but could Royal Knight be the woman from one of those Bravo shows who had the big scandal last year? I vaguely remember her doing something on Broadway, but I’m not sure if it was something legit or just one of those celeb performances. 
 

Edit : ok, her name is Arianna. Robin just said it in relation to who Macaron might be. Going to laugh if it really is her considering how different Royal Knight and Macaron sounded.

I loved Sherlock Hound and hated Ice King.

[Bookworm13]

Guess we know who is going home tonight.

Overall, though, I’ve been impressed with the quality of contestants this season compared to past seasons. 
 

Jeez, it’s a sad night when Jenny pulls a Ken with her guess.

Sherlock Hound sounded country to me. Ice King was fine, not horrible, not great 

Macaron is ... not good.

[Bookworm13]

Strawberry Shortcake is ok, but I wasn’t as impressed with her voice as the judges are. 
 

Sherlock Hound and Royal Knight were my favorites tonight. 

[NeenerNeener]

Rita is wrong, a macaroon is a different cookie than a macaron. Macaroons are made with coconut; macarons are made with ground almonds.

I like macarons; I hate coconut so I don't eat macaroons.

Exactly. And same.

I will take all of the coconut macaroons not wanted here 😆

Macaron wasn't good. I doubt a country singer would know Under the Bridge. Strawberry Shortcake was amazing.

[camom]

I like seeing the non-singers -- like Bethany -- who are brave enough to tackle this show.  And I was pleased that she was someone I had actually heard of.  Many of the judges' guesses are a mystery to me.

I'm not sure why a country singer wouldn't know that song. It's incredibly well known and musicians know other genres than what they specialize in.

Group C guesses, mostly from Gold Derby:

Spoiler

Strawberry Shortcake - AJ Michalka
Ice King   - Diplo
Sherlock Hound  - Bronson Arroyo
Royal Knight - Hayden Panettiere or Jana Kramer

I thought the same thing about who Strawbery Shortcake might be.

Nope. People have been adding things to their jello and other brands of gelatin from the beginning. My grandmother made it for her kids in the 1930's. Quick google search tells me it was popularized in 1905. Maybe the Men in Black don't have access to the internet.

[GenerationX]

I disagree with the spoilers above about Strawberry Shortcake.  I thought I heard this voice:

Dido

I didn’t realize Miley had had a prolific enough career to have her own night on a singing show, but here we are. I feel I know her more for acting and general life stuff. This was one of the best group songs we’ve had. 

[BMGepinniw]

I knew someone would mention Robin's very public Miley encounter. 😜

Strawberry Shortcake is awesome!

[Bookworm13]

Just a heads up, next week the show will be on Thursday Nov 28

[Bookworm13]

Everyone really stepped up their game tonight. 

There isn’t an obvious person to send home.

I'm surprised they are airing a show on Thanksgiving I think it will be a clip show. My guess for the Hound is Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block based on the Donnie loves me clue. Strawberry Shortcake is amazing.

Nope, the Thursday episode is new and the group C finals where 2 singers are sent home. Wed will be a re-airing if last week(Who Are You Fest).

Why are they airing a new show on Thanksgiving? They will be opposite an NFL game and the other networks will be showing reruns. I'll set my DVR.

I’m not sure why they decided this. All I know is the theme is “A Peanuts Thanksgiving” and I’m looking forward to having something new to watch knowing everything else is reruns. And I kinda love Charlie Brown & Co.

Probably for the people who aren't interested in watching sports. Plus it's a family holiday, and if nothing else, at least there's something for the kids to watch.

I wonder why it's not on next Wednesday and on Thursday instead. 

[NeenerNeener]

I was watching this from a hospital bed but I couldn't get on the hospital's wifi so I couldn't comment.

Gold Derby has not covered itself in glory with the Group C picks. I couldn't find any guesses last week from Yahoo Entertainment for Group C, but they were dead on with Group A.

Thanks! At least the problem has been identified, from a list of 3 or 4 possible problems, and I got a temporary fix until a permanent one can be scheduled.

And the hospital room was nicer and bigger than the cabin I once had on Carnival Cruise Lines.

[Bookworm13]

@NeenerNeener, wishing you a speedy recovery!

[Bookworm13]

Ugh, fooball 🙄 I’d be really happy if I never had to deal with football running over again. 

[NeenerNeener]

Moving this episode to Thursday night after football was a really stupid decision on the part of Fox. Football always runs long and then there's the post game show too. Not to mention the turkey comas the audience will be in.

[Bookworm13]

@SweePea59, we’re starting now if you’re still around. 
 

Given that football was supposed to end at 7:30 and we’re starting late at 8:30, whoever schedules football needs to work on timing. Not like they can’t fill time if they end short.

Ugh, again for Robin singing. My dream is never having to listen to him again.

[The Crazed Spruce]

How is it that Robin's voice is higher-pitched than Rita Ora's?

[Bookworm13]

I don’t think I’m familiar with the song Strawberry Shortcake sang, but it was a very boring performance, IMO. She has a good voice, but repeating the line “I hope you dance” for 3 minutes leaves a lot to be desired, especially on a double elimination night. Now is not the time for safe. 

[The Crazed Spruce]

I'm just surprised they found enough time to fit all of Nick's kids in that package.

[The Crazed Spruce]

I gotta be honest, I have no idea who anybody from Group C is.

[Bookworm13]

I don’t know who Sherlock Hound is, but I hope he makes it through. This was the only performance that didn’t bore me tonight. 

[The Crazed Spruce]

...I have no idea who this person is.

[Bookworm13]

Damn! I was really hoping Sherlock Hound made it to the finals. I guess TPTB didn’t want a fully male quarterfinals. 
 

Well, I’m 0 for 2 in recognizing either of these people tonight.

I Hope You Dance by Leann Womack. Song was played to death on the radio in 2000.

[The Crazed Spruce]

Honestly, I thought he was the weakest of the three tonight. His pitch was a bit off in a few more places than the others. "I Hope You Dance" is a boring song, sure, but Shortcake nailed it.

[NeenerNeener]

So Gold Derby didn't do as badly as I thought. They whiffed on Ice King but they got Sherlock Hound right and one of their two picks for Royal Knight was correct.

[BMGepinniw]

So glad I streamed this.  Would have been disappointed to have missed all of Robin's grate(ing) puns.  Sorry, but puns shouldn't fill 7/8 of your Thanksgiving dinner plate...

Not a sports fan, and never heard of Bronson Arroyo, but what a good looking man!
