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.
