Lauren would've been perfect last season if she'd been old enough. The judges and producers were saying they wanted to find someone like Taylor Swift, but they picked more like they were looking for the next Brooke White. No wonder Lee won. This year the matchups are all wrong for her: Scotty is getting the country vote and the Diana/Jordin/Archuleta memorial "OMG that voice and only 16/17!" vote that Thia is also trying to get, and she'll never win a ballad throwdown against Pia. I'd add that her attitude may also be working against her--she's coming across as a little defensive and confrontational in the pre-performance interviews. Too much "Ah'm jus gonna do what I do and I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS ABOUT IT!" And she really got her nose out of joint when everyone was playfully imitating her accent last week. I get the impression that she is not so popular with her fellow contestants. |

Good Lord, I thought Casey was going to start vomiting blood at any minute. They tried to make it easier on him by stopping his song, but that just freaked him out even more! Between that and the heavy swearing his was doing ... what a magical night of reality TV.
Yeah, I'm starting to like James too. I feel so bad for him when his face starts to contort. Behind all that you can see the real guy who genuinely seems to love the other contestants.
When Casey got saved they kept cutting to Pia - who didn't look as happy and moved as the others. Maybe that's just her blah personality, but I thought she looked slightly, "No you did NOT!".
Ryan Douchecrest didn't actually proclaim those three the BOTTOM three, did he? Didn't he just call them "not safe"? They have a tricky habit of sticking people out there to scare the audience. Although why the hell they want to scare people into voting for Thia is anyone's guess.
Naima is stunning without all the flowers and beads, etc. Gorgeous face.

Pia's face was too frozen from Botox to react. Ds1 pointed out that her face barely moved during her performance and it never moved last night.
I got chills last night from that ending. Casey was white as a sheet and I really thought he was going to collapse. I think Ryan did, too. So emotional.
The shade of blue that Naima wore during her performance is my favorite in the world. Yes, she's pitchy, but damn, she's fun to watch--I loved that she incorporated her dancing into her number.

I started to like James with the live shows. During Hollywood and the auditions I dismissed him as a Fauxbert, but his happiness for Stefano being named a wild card got to me and his Hulk Hogan fanboying was adorable. They're singing Elton John next week. Fantasia's going to be on the results show. Wonder if she's going to have something to say about Ryan calling Jennifer Hudson an Idol winner when she was just on. I'm going to miss Simon not being there to make his WTF face. |

Marc scared the crap out of me in his ear piece segment. That stern, humorless, terse demeanor was really upsetting to me, mostly because his body language, closed facial expression and tone of voice were exactly the same as my husband's when he comes home pissed and takes it his bad day out on me. I suddenly feel bad for J.lo because I'm now very certain that Marc is an uber controlling dickhead who gets pissed if things aren't done the way HE thinks they should be done. Marc Anthony is controlling and I'm not surprised at all that he's apparently been on the American idol set each show. I remember seeing pictures of him being on the set each day when she would film a movie, a music video or whatever she's working on, he's there. To each his own, but I wouldn't tolerate my husband hanging around everywhere that I worked, nor would he allow me to do that to him. I can't see that as being healthy in a relationship, but to let JLO tell it she's got the perfect marriage. Video: Marc Anthony Helping Jennifer Lopez Behind-The-Scenes on American Idol? |

So that was Jacob toned down and restrained last night? Good Lord.
If they intend for Lauren to be the last woman standing, they need to put an end to any pre- or post- performance chatter between her, Ryan and the judges. Dialogue is so not her strong point.
Also, I had absolutely no clue "Daniel" was about a blinded vet and not a plane crash.

Oh, where to start?
Maybe I need my hearing checked because I surely didn't hear the same things the judges heard. Haley was the "best of the night?" Um...no.
As for everyone else, I want to like Naima, but she got on my last nerve when she threw in the West Indian accent (I'm not going call it Jamaican because it would insult my Jamaican born mother) and undersang the song as usual. I'm ready to pack her bags. She's on the tour anyway so it doesn't matter.
Everyone else was either over the top (Miss Jacob, James), underwhelming (Thia, Paul), or predictable (Pia, Scotty). I want to say that Tiara Princess sounded OK, but who the hell is dressing and styling this child? It took away from the singing.
It's sad when I don't care who goes home or wins this thing. Is it even worth watching Xtina on The Voice at the end of the month instead of this schlock?

The only one I saw last night was Pia and was so bored by her. Paul's teeth still frighten me but I'll give him props for the Gram Parsons-inspired suit.

Oh these judges. They desperately need a straight shooter, not this milquetoast bullshit. I saw Steven being compared to a crazy grandpa... all he does is tell you how great you are (in a slightly daffy, creepy way). When Randy dares to be the voice of reason, JLO can't shut up. She shouts over the guy .. making sure everyone knows that all the singers really are just fine!
Scotty is wearing very thin already. Couldn't he have switched up a well known song and make it his own country version? Even Prom Queen was able to do that. But what is with her personality? I know she's young, but she's bizarrely out there flighty.
Haley? Are you kidding me? She was like some drunk bridesmaid at a wedding trying to hit on someone by being sexy (but drunk, and sloppy). Not sure why they wanted to prop her up.
I can't even pick a favorite, and I always cheer for SOMEONE (no matter how dreadful). They have good voices, but they have no idea what to do with them. And the judges are zero help.
