+ KELLY AND VAL ARE GOING TO THE FINALS!!!! Seriously, this is brilliant news to wake up to on a dark Wednesday morning! I have absolutely no doubt that Golden Boy is going to win another mirrorball trophy, but I would love to see either Kelly/Val or Melissa/Tony cause a huge upset next week....

+ I've started watching some soaps on YT again.... GH is really kicking ass and taking names these sweeps, AJ's return has really impressed me and it feels like a soap again, if that makes any sense at all! Am DREADING watching yesterday's clips though - seeing the gifsets on tumblr have already made me teary!

+ Greg Vaughan started on Days of our Lives last week, so I've been YTing his scenes as well - I've mostly given up on Days, because as a fan of Jack Devereaux and Matt Ashford, there are really only so many times you can watch your favourite character be killed off. (I can't believe I just typed that sentence....) But I like what I've seen of his Eric so far, and the sibling chemistry he has with Ali Sweeney was nothing short of adorable. Unfortunately, they're telegraphing the story like crazy - if this isn't Days take on The Thorn Birds, I'll eat my hat! (Though I did love Meggie and Father Ralph!!)

+ Have been listening to "Just a Fool", the Blake Shelton - Christina Aguilera duet on repeat since last week because it's so damn good, delighted to see them perform it on The Voice this week! You all need to listen to this one!

Oooh, I had never heard that song, but I really like it...

Greg's on DAYS? Good for him, I'm so glad he's back on soaps!

I am SO excited, and kind of pitifully RELIEVED that they are in the finals! And at this point, I have to say, I kind of don't care who wins. Shawn *is* the best dancer, she's just unshakably perfect, so I can't say that it won't be deserved. :|

It's SUCH a great song, isn't it? I listened to the sample clip on iTunes and fell in love.... I'm a sucker for big power duets like that!

Greg started on Days last week as the recast Eric Brady (the role that Jensen Ackles used to play!). Like what I've seen so far, but lets face it, this is Days so it'll go horribly wrong eventually....

I agree that Shawn is the best dancer, and i think if she was dancing with anyone but Derek, I'd like to see her win. But it's Derek. And I cannot stand him. So its either Kelly or Melissa for me (and frankly, after all the crappy partners Tony's had, and KATE GOSSELIN, I'd love to see him win!)

Wonderful song!

I've been umming and ahhing about watching GH again, since it has your seal of approval might go for it!

The song is so good, isn't it?

GH is definitely hitting a good stride at the moment - much less focus on the mob / plot driven stories and more focus on character. And AJ coming back has been so good - the scene where he and Carly came face to face was awesome!

Word of warning - Edward passed away in yesterday's ep - watch with tissues. I bawled my eyes out!
