American Idol 2011

So what did you think of last night's show? I thought Pia and James did fantastically well, the others were okay, too. I do not understand why there was such a fuss about "country boy" Scotty singing Elvis. He did a great job, but it's not like Elvis' music didn't have deep roots in country music for goodness sake! I also just do not "get" why Stephano give JLo goosebumps, I do not see the appeal. He over emotes everything, and he sang so high up in his range, and I just didn't find it sincere or believable. I also found myself kinda puzzled by Paul's Folsom Prison Blues. Did anyone tell him it's not a particularly happy song? Enthusiasm and energy are all well and good, and yes, he's got nice teeth, but ya don't need to smile through everything ... particularly something called the blues, and made famous by Johnny Cash.

That's my opinion, what's yours?

I agree with you Karen about Stefano and Paul. Surprisingly I actually enjoyed Jacobs performance last night. I usually skip through him, but last night I watched and I liked.

Last night there wasn't anyone that was exceptionally good.....except maybe Casey. His was probably the best for me.

Can Randy please stop saying "they are in it to win it"? Isn't everyone???

Exactly! That, and I love how they always show contestants saying "I want this more than anyone else here!" Don't they know every other person feels that same way? I mean, that IS why they are there ...

Oh, and what is with those stylists and shorts? I thought the shorts - if that's what they were - on Lauren Alaina were pretty darned unflattering.

The girls were wearing Gwen Stefani fashion last night from her clothing line called L.A.M.B (which stands for Love Angel Music Baby). But yeah, I didn't like Lauren's outfit or Pia's. Haley's was okay. Then again, I'm not a fashion forward person to begin with.

I'm not in any way fashion forward, believe me! In fact, Paul swears that, as much as we admire Tim Gunn, I should never try to meet him, as one sight of me could kill the man! Thanks for clarifying that, I could see Gwen wearing any of those outfits, but that doesn't mean it is a good idea!

Well I sure didn't like the end results from last nights voting.

I thought that Jennifer Lopez was going to break down and cry. I won't spoil it for any one who may not have seen the results show yet. If this kind of thing continues, I can only imagine who might end up winning this year.
