WHO KNOWS??
Well this is it...THE biggest night before the final...Going to their home towns is BIG....Here is what I thought. They all did pretty well....HOWEVER Scotty AGAIN was just orbital. I LOVED LOVED LOVED his first song....sooo good. And the perfect song to sing right now. And the second was also very good. Not orbital like the first, but entertaining and good. Next would be James. Both of his were REALLY REALLY good. Thoroughly entertained me. Lauren was good. Some of her better ones. Connected much better to the music. However, her first one sooo paled in comparison to the mighty Martina McBride that it was somewhat ruined for me. I enjoyed her second one more if for no other reason than she FINALLY got into the song pretty well. She continues to be just immature to me. And Haley??? First song, bottom line she WAS screaming. It wasn't good. But more importantly I didn't like the way she took the criticism....like a BIG baby. Angry and pissed. It didn't do her any favors to come off this way. America has to LIKE you in addition to liking your voice. She can off like a big old B _ _ _ _!! Her second song was REALLY good, but I think she could of done it better, but she was too pissed off. It definitely was NOT the standing ovation they gave her. I think she has a bad need to be "fluffed" and they were trying to give it to her. If she can't be the big cheese of the night she is annoyed. And finally, WHAT in the name of heaven was that Lady GAGA....It is not just that she looks like a freak (which of course she does) she was just trashy I thought. She totally truly embarrassed Scotty you could tell. I think she kind of embarrassed James too. Sooo, WHO goes home tonight?? I honestly have no idea....I think if it were me based on last night it would be Haley. I think she just chopped off her own foot with her temper tantrum. But I think it might be Lauren too. It is hard to say, and truthfully I can't wait to find out!

it was about time.
I'm glad Jacob is gone. Well over due.
I also thought the cooking thing was dumb. Really? Who cares. And of course the southern, borderline chubby one would win. Lol. I do love her though!
I liked JLOs performance.. very high energy, sort of Britney Spears- esque. No one does that kind of a performance quite like Brit though. But it was good. Very entertaining. Also enjoyed Lady Antebellums performance... haven't heard that song yet, and I liked it. But then, I like all their songs! I heard a rumor that Lady Gaga is the mentor next week?? Should be interesting if nothing else.
It's a wild card for me from here on out. I have no idea who will go next! I think it will depend 100% on their performances next week. Whoever has an off week will go. I'm finally to the point where I like everybody, and will be sad to see any of them go.

FINALLY!!
Well FINALLY.....I thought tonights show was good, but truthfully what was that cooking thing? Pointless, stupid, and boring come to mind. I thought JLo was a stun. What is she, Miss Everything???
I wasn't surprised at anything. It was pretty much how I had seen it the night before too. Lauren just flat out blew it in Unchained Melody. And Jacob was a big NOOOOO!!
So another bites the dust. I don't want Haley to win. She is pretty good, but I just don't see her as the idol. Don't think I see James as it either. And personally, unless something major happens, Lauren will go next.
OK, FINALLY removing Jacob from the side. At least he didn't go out bawlin!!

My take.
Jacob - I just don't get it. I thought he was an asinine idiot on the first one. Horrid. The second one was sort of better. In my opinion he sticks out like a glaring, sore, red, inflamed thumb as the worst one. I don't know what I'll do if he doesn't go home tonight.
Scotty - Stun. Especially the second one.
Lauren - I thought she did the first one really well. The second one however... was iffy. I was excited for her to do Unchained Melody, because she has the kind of voice that should be able to pull it off. But she just fell short. I wanted so much more. She didn't even do the big "I NEEEEEEEEED your love" note that could have been really good. Hello? It's the most famous/best part of the song! She just blew it off like it didn't exist! Kind of a fail. She did look cute though. I really, really wish I could pull off that hair color. It's my fave. Sadly, it just makes me look washed out and horrid.
James - I didn't really like either of his songs. Such a shocker after last weeks stuns. I practically wanted to fast forward him.
Haley - LOVED. She was the best of the night, in my opinion. I thought the judges were way harsh on her first one.. The song wasn't the best, and it was kind of weird to pick an unknown song, but she sang it really well. But it wouldn't have mattered if she had completely sucked at that one, because she NAILED the second one. Best performance of the night, easily. Loved the song, loved how she sang it. She shot herself above James with that number.
If Scotty wants to win, he's got to do something other than country next week. He's already won over the country fans. I was talking to a girl last week and she was talking about how she doesn't want Scotty to win and doesn't think he's that great. She said, "He has a good voice, but it's SO country, and I'm not into country at all." I'm afraid if he doesn't at least try to appeal to the non-country lovers, he'll lose. Lauren is country, but she's branched out more times than Scotty has, and has more of a country/pop feel.

The night......
My take on the night.
James - I didn't really think the first song was anything great and certainly not on the soaring level the judges had it on. The second song was OK. He was obviously very emotional on it and it showed. There were parts of it where you could tell how truly good his voice really is.
Jacob - I thought doing a duet as a solo was just plain weird. It was a very bizarre choice. The second song was really pretty good .
Lauren - Nothing great on the first song. I really didn't like her on the second one at all. There were some parts of the song she did well, but there were other parts that were just not good. I really think a big part of it was that she was just too young for the song. She just had a feeling of being detached. It is the feel I always have on her that she is just not ready. She did look like a stun on the night. I LOVED her dress on the second song.
Scotty - I loved everything about him on both of the songs. He should win in my opinion.
Haley - I actually did agree with the judges on the first song. I think there is a reason that Lady GaGa has never released it. The second song was REALLY good. I would definitely say I thought it was the second best performance of the night
I think Jacob will be going home, but the way things are going it is hard to say.

STUN NIGHT
Well another amazing night!! I was very entertained...VERY!
Here is my take....
James...first song REALLY good, but not nearly as orbital as the judges had it. Second...ORBITAL....It was really good. Even though I too heard when he was off here and there, it didn't really matter. I think for me I LIKE him as a person the best for some reason. Soooo likeable. But I don't know if he is the American Idol for me.
Jacob....first song while sang well, WAY too weird for him. Too much of a different feel. Agreed with Randy. He actually had a mild hand to crotch thing going like some of those guys do. It was a big NOOOOOO in my book. However his second song was actually really good. He sang it well. One of his best. I still think he should go next though.
Scotty.....what is there to say. The guy is orbital. I LOVE LOVE LOVE his voice. Sooo good. Sooo sexy (his voice, not him, he is a newborn) Sooo entertaining. He is the american idol to me.
Lauren.....first song was good, but nothing great in my opinion. She is NOT Carrie and paled in comparison to how she does that song. And the second was butchered literally in my opinion. Some of the notes and places she did REALLY REALLY well, and others she almost ruined. She DID NOT connect with the song. Notice how Scotty is always telling the story of what he is singing, and she rarely if ever does. She did LOOK like a complete STUN tonight in both of her performances. A COMPLETE STUN!! Sooo pretty.
Haley....first song...I felt like the judges were weird on it. I actually kind of liked it. And the second was literally spinning in orbit. She did it REALLY REALLY well and I full on loved it.
Soooo, my opinion is IF they do bottom 3 (which they didn't last week) it woud be Jacob, Lauren and Haley...with the one going home....Jacob. SURELY it is finally over for him. I think on just this night though (not overall) the lineup for me of who entertained me best would be....
1. Scotty
2. Haley (I know ~ shocker!)
3. James
4. Jacob
5. Lauren
So best of the night, again was Scotty. And going home...Jacob

What a Night!
Unreal. Even Jacob pulled it off. I wouldn't be stunned if James goes home and last week I thought he could win it all!
Jacob - Not thrilled with either song, but he sang them both REALLY well.
James - Could have been just me but the first song wasn't that great. Could have fast forwarded if I wasn't watching it live. Second, stun. I just plain love the guy.
Lauren - Always love her. Though I thought she sang Unchained Melody well, I felt like there was a part of the song she left out and I wanted to hear it if that makes sense....
Scotty - Stun. Stun. STUN!
Haley - Love her too. I thought she did the first song well. Was annoyed with the judges. Rising Sun...UNBELIEVEABLE!!
