American Idol 2011

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.

Ok, I won't say the results just in case anyone hasn't watched it yet. But last night I realized how much I actually do like Haley. I just love her voice!!
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.
