They did not say who was in the bottom three. So one of the girls very well could have been.
My pick for bottom three last night were Jacob, Haley and Casey. Well I know I was right on one of them. I didn't want Casey to go home, but at this point anyone can go. They are all so evenly matched (except Jacob IMO). I will be happy no matter who wins (unless its Jacob).
So, who agrees with me that the phrase "in it to win it" should be banned from Randy Jackson's vocabulary? If he says it about every contestant, doesn't that make it pointless?
I really didn't like either of Jacob's efforts last night. I like Jacob, he's a nice kid and I am glad he's made it out of Compton, but he needs to learn some self-control in his performances. Not everything needs to have the life squeezed out of it! It's like they should put his picture next to "overwrought" in the dictionary. And I am glad that Randy mentioned how he was completely sharp for lots of the song, instead of just using the nebulous "pitchy."
I thought everyone else did a good job, and that the judges criticism of Haley for choosing her first song should have been directed at Jimmy Iovine, who obviously chose it and pushed it.
Yes, I totally agree.:) I hope that Jacob will be the one going home tonight. I vote online and I was planning on voting last night but I forgot too.:( I was checking my e-mail because it had been down yesterday morning and I didn't even remember about voting until this morning.:oQuote:

I loved seeing James get so emotional. That shows the sensitive side of him. And Scotty and Lauren are just darn good country artists!!
Well, we got our wish, and it was not unexpected. I do not understand where Jacob's inflated sense of self comes from, really, I mean he is a nice kid with a good voice, but has a lot of growing up to do. What I think he never realized about Luther Vandross, for example, is the man spent years working to establish himself in his own genre before then branching out to do different things. Just because someone says you remind them of someone famous doesn't mean you can just assume the fame and credibility of the person. You have to earn it, first.
FINALLY!!! From here on out it doesn't really matter to me who stays or who goes. I think the top 4 are all amazing. :D However, I would like to see a girl win it. :)
I was sad James went home last night, I hope he will get picked up by some label and have a major career, he's got such a great voice, and all the heart a person could ever wish for.
I am surprised Haley's still in it, she's okay, but I just don't see what kind of career she'll have, or records she'll make, she's pretty and all that, but ...
So I'm hoping for an all-country top two, I guess!
Like Pia, I think it is best for James that he didn't win this show. He will go FAR with his career, for sure! He is in about the same position Chris Daughtry was on his season.
I wasn't thrilled with Haley toward the beginning, but I've really been liking her performances lately. I thought the judges were way too hard on her too. But the top four were (and are) all great! So I wasn't very shocked with James going home. It would have been sad for me to see any of them go.
I love Lauren's voice, but she needs to learn to hold the big notes longer. She always wimps out and doesn't hold them very long. EXCEPT when she sang with Haley last night. She held that note nice and long right along with Haley.
I was also sad to see James go.:( Now the show won't be as interesting or entertaining without him. Hopefully he will have a wonderful music career ahead of him. To me it seems like Country music always wins over Rock/Metal music.
I hated to see James go because he was such a talent. If he had a problem, it was being full of himself. I think he was the most shocked to see himself being voted off. I know this was from years of coaching from his mother because of the handicaps he had to overcome. I think he will do well because he is very creative to go along with his amazing singing talent.
I think he was so upset because he was hoping to win this to help support his wife and child. While he was on stage crying, you could see him saying to his wife in the audience "it will be okay". But he doesn't realize that he will still be able to do that. He has talent that will take him so far in life. Idol just helped the world to see it.
So finally watched this week's shows. I was surprised, frankly, that Haley made it further than James did, but not at all surprised to see her go. I do think both finalists have a good shot at making a career out of music, though they are both so young!
Also wanted to add, I fast-forwarded through a lot of the "filler" - Il Volo was perfectly earnest, but eh ... I wanted the results! And I thought Nicole Scherzinger's song and movements both were entirely too suggestive for the children and tweens in the audience of American Idol, good gracious! I only got about a 30 seconds into that before I started hitting the skip button!
I wasn't at all surprised that Haley didn't make it to the final two. She sure sounded very confident after she sang her goodbye song. Maybe she's already been offered something. My prediction is that Scotty will win.
So what did everyone think of the final performances tonight? I thought they both did just fine, and that Lauren Alaina's outfits will be the envy of many prom-goers this spring ...
Well unfortunately I had a long day at work so I barely got home in time to see any of the show. I saw Lauren's last song and then the recap of both Scotty and Lauren. I'm trying to vote online but so far I can't get through. I'm trying to vote for Lauren even though Scotty will probably win.
I think Lauren is the most talented and should win, but because of the young female following, Scotty will probably win. I think this was overall the most talented group to go through, and I see several, of the group, going on to great things in music.
I agree about the young girls voting for Scotty. I have liked Lauren from her first audition and like Scotty equally. So it doesn't matter who wins. Both of them have a great career ahead of him. Most of the top 11 will have great futures. :DQuote:

I also really like James. And then this morning I heard a new song by a new artist and it sounded a lot like Paul (his name is Andrew Allen). And I decided I really like his unique voice as well.
Oh, and for the record, I still can't stand Jacob's voice. :(
The girls sure got their stage time last night, didn't they? Poor guys!
I loved Casey and Jack Black! I loved James and Judas Priest. I really enjoyed Steven performance as well. And of course, the top two singing with their idols was awesome too. :D
