Yes, I watched. In all, I think the show went well. I did cry when Gladys sang to the kids. Sue me, I'm sentimental. I cry at commercials! I thought the white outfits were somehow mimicing the AI concert. Given time, I think that this group could mesh. If it doesn't, Lucy might break out and go off on her own. JMO.

I cried too Roteach. I love that song (always have). I think Lucy is the main one that needs to break from the group. She's really good, but it just didn't work with the group, IMO.

BTW, I just read that there is going to be another American Jrs. competition.

I loved the show last night!! I taped it and brought it to work this morning and have already watched it twice! (the phone better not RING!)

I too got teary eyed when Gladys sang to the kids, I forgot how GOOD she is!! I was surprised by Debbie Gibson (now DEBRAH Gibson) how well she sang, too! I give Chauncy a lot of credit for hanging in there with the chicks, he's a cool kid. Danielle is my favorite for many reasons, although she did not start off that way, I was totally pulled in with her "Never had a Dream come true" song...I'll tell ya, she sings it better (the group does it better) than the original, you've got to hear it to believe it...

I loved the show, I think the kids have wonderful parents, you can tell...I'd like to know just one thing..Who picks out their outfits?????

OK, I am having a brain freeze here. What was the name of the song that Gladys sang? Unfortunately, what the kids wore is what the middle school and HS kids (and some elementary kids) are wearing.

Roteach, I'm pretty sure it's called 'If I Could.'

I'm so mad. I set the VCR to tape the show last night, and didn't realize I was at the end of the tape. I saw the first production, then the tape ran out.

I missed Rueben, Gladsy, and all the rest!

Ugh, they really are going to have another season of this? That is just so brutal on these poor kids!

Lucy does look out of place with this group. It didn't help that she was the only one to wear a dress). It just really made her stand out.

When I watch this group, I still get the impression of watching The Brady Kids singing and dancing!

Yes, it was called "If I could" and she sang it masterfully!! Even the kids looked at her with awe - Did anyone see Chauncy's face/eyes while he watched Gladys singing?!

Thanks for the name of the song. I will have to see if it is online so I can download it. I also heard that they are going to have a second season of AJ.

I found a version of the song (If I Could) by Nancy Wilson on MusicNet on AOL. Sounds almost like Glady's version. Thanks for helping me defrost my brain freeze!

TV Guide online reports that there will not be another edition of AJ this fall. No reasons were given.

YEP- I heard on the radio that Fox cancelled the show. I am glad. If I just didn't like the show- I wouldn't care- but as many have said- it was hard on the kids.
