American Idol 2011

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 ...
