I got sick over the way Robin Meade had to sing every so often. I kept hearing background noise every time it was on. I could hear the audience talking when the awards were presented or giving their speeches. What about the clips? No preview of their acting? Just pictures of them in silent mode? What the heck? So unorganized, so stupid, writing sucked, Robin Meade sucked (and I love her on her show!) the blonde guy (don't know him) tried, but to no avail. I give kudos to AJ Hammer. He was a natural, but his other hosts even pulled him down. George Lucas looked like he had a stick up his butt until he won. He needs to take acting classes. The Talk crew was sickening. The only ones who I enjoyed were Sara Gilbert and Aisha Tyler. Sharon Osborne reminds me of scratching nails going across a blackboard. She sounds like phony baloney. She must have learned it from Julie Chen. Those two are too over the top. I love Julie Chen on "Big Brother," but on the talk...NO NO NO!!! Even Sheryl Underwood is WAY too loud and too silly. I don't mind a laugh or two from her, but she is over the edge in a different way than Julie Chen and Sharon Osborne. Enough is enough. This show was unbearable to watch. I did because I kept thinking something would happen to change the outcome of this mess, but it never did. The daytime stars were ignored. I watched this show to see them. I would like to have seen the tables scanned to see who their other halves were, but no. What about all of the beautiful songs that are sung on the soaps for love scenes? They should have been nominated in a category for best song on soap. ???? Just saying. The couch was unprofessional and sucked. What about "In Memoriam?" How disrespectful! Jeanne Cooper did get her tribute, and Jess Walton and Corbin Bernstein made sure of it. Congratulations to Doug Davidson! What a wonderful actor. I love my Y&R and the Bold and the Beautiful! Congratulations to Billy Miller and Scott Clifton! Melody Thomas Scott was beautiful and her speech was warming. Finally glad that "Days" won. I don't watch this show. I used to. Still it was time for it to win. What happened to CBS or NBC having this show on their network? They got praise for these shows. Did these two networks desert their own shows? Shame on you. I would rather have seen Jane Velus-Mitchell and Nancy Grace. They would have taken charge of this show. They would have cut the mikes of all thes unbearable people who had no reason to be heard. This show was a disgrace to the Daytime Emmy Award shows. If it doesn't do 100% better next year, forget me watching it. Robin and AJ, I still love you. Stick to your daytime show, Robin. You are excellent at it. I love you AJ. Don't get involved in a mess like this again, please. ATTENTION DAYTIME EMMY AWARDS SHOW....I am available both as a writer and a host. I am an expert on the Young and the Restless and the Bold and the Beautiful shows. I have watched the others and could catch up on any skills that I may need. Contact me at loverofsongs@yahoo.com if you want a rating boost on this award show next year or any other shows that you need a host for. I am available. I only want a 6 figure salary. I will make you proud. Thanks. GOD is good.

That stupid repeatitive background music was back again this year made it feel so cheap once again. The constant chatter coming from the audience while someone was speaking on stage was so rude too. I felt like I was watching a bad Highschool performance that the students weren't interested in watching but forced to be there. The couch interviews were totally lame and should not have been part of the show.

HLN stepped in last minute last year to host them or they won't have happened at all. I feel that the only reason they had the nominations for the 2 songs was to showcase Robin Meade's singing. Has there ever been nominated songs before? They certainly could have done without that. And the couch interviews were ridiculous and awkward. They certainly could have done without that, too. Should have, absolutely should have fixed the mess with Monty Hall's video tribute. That was awful. Why not have some of the great talent from within the daytime community host? The whole thing just reeked of thrown together yet they had ample time to prepare. Seeing, actually seeing and hearing the clip of each actor is so important. What a shame that more thought wasn't put into this show.ricker23https://www.blogger.com/profile/06315912184311329312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-42122098553592309242013-06-17T10:36:51.457-04:002013-06-17T10:36:51.457-04:00The one bright spot on a totally pathetic awards s...The one bright spot on a totally pathetic awards show was Doug Davidson getting the recognition he so deserves.

It was horrible that they brought on Betthany Frankel, Robin Meade, AJ Hammer, Giada, & so many others that have zero knowledge of the soaps world. Even if they would of had past soap stars hosting, it would have been much much better. Why they showed so little of the actual nominated clips & instead had Robin & that awful singing is beyond me. This was pulled together very half a**ed. I think a bunch of highschool kids could have pulled together something better then we we got last night.

We commended them for taking on the challenge. This year they had no excuse."<br /><br />Roger, I think you were way too nice. Last-minute mistakes are part of life, but there's nothing to forgive the badly conceived ideas like the "couch interviews" and the misuse of NLG's talents (I'm really surprised she did that). Most of the show perpetuated the myth that daytime is a joke, and that makes me angry, because I know most of daytime works harder than most industries, yet often gets little respect.<br /><br />I did feel like Jeanne Cooper's spirit was there, thanks to Corbin Bernsen calling out the ridiculousness of that stupid couch. I did also enjoy most of the soap actors' speeches, especially those of Doug Davidson and Kristen Alderson (both long overdue for a win), but others just need to learn to be professional and be prepared, no matter how excited they are or "unexpected" the win. Heather Tom struck an excellent balance between grateful emotion and well-spoken professionalism. I don't want to hear people blather on about how they didn't expect it and say pretty much nothing in their acceptance speech. It is an honor to be nominated, and a bigger one to win. Respect yourself and the genre and be ready to deliver something worthy. (Yes, this means you, Scott Clifton and Julie Marie Berman, as talented as you are.)<br /><br />My own thoughts -- great to see OLTL and AMC promoted constantly during the show. Maybe TOLN should produce the Emmys! Also, nice to hear the theme music from the winner's show playing as they reached the stage. Last year, it was the same generic tune for everyone, and it really helps to heighten the significance with the right music.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07028024297859464680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-55331929888762255862013-06-17T03:04:19.727-04:002013-06-17T03:04:19.727-04:00Have to agree Days's win is a "Good"...Have to agree Days's win is a "Good" that was missing!jimfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882571446904960773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-88170750042868873702013-06-17T02:53:12.803-04:002013-06-17T02:53:12.803-04:00I do agree with forgetting many people in the in m...I do agree with forgetting many people in the in memorium, and the pulling away from the pictures during it. I was fine with the people interviewing, but the couch was too much. Everything was red! Too much red! The red carpet show was the worst ever, but whatever. And I already said how upset I was about the tribute to Monty Hall. I didn't even think about the anniversaries (Emmys, GH, Y&R, Let's Make a Deal (50, although not continuous)). I know I read that they were going to acknowledge the anniversaries, and they didn't. I also thought that showing the audience during commercial breaks was interesting, but unnecessary. I don't really care either way about that.hollyjoannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856295727838922047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-3174874368390367272013-06-17T02:49:25.249-04:002013-06-17T02:49:25.249-04:00Did the biggest ovation of the night go to Carrie ...Did the biggest ovation of the night go to Carrie Fisher when she was introduced?Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-24210255861468125862013-06-17T02:43:10.141-04:002013-06-17T02:43:10.141-04:00guy416, great point about GH and Y&R's ann...guy416, great point about GH and Y&R's anniversaries.
