Yay!

Love Lauren and Scotty in the finale! Bye Bye Haley!

Mom, totally agree on her face. It took her a GOOD five seconds to recover, and Lauren had to practically beg for a hug. She was truly shocked. Lol. I'm obviously twisted, because I loved it.

I really don't even care who wins now, although I'm still Team Scotty.

AMERICA GOT IT RIGHT!

Can ya stand it?? I was almost giddy, haha....Did you see her face?? It took her a few minutes to recover. She could hardly believe it. And then when she was singing her final song and she was out in the auidence, she says sooo smartly, "You haven't seen the last of this, for sure!" She is just so full of herself. Even when they were all 3 standing there waiting, Scotty and Lauren looked hysterical, nervous, and serious. She was smiling and acting sooo confidenct. It was soo annoying. Wheeeeeee doogggies!! lol Welp, I am off to REMOVE Haley from the side. FINALLY America got it right!!! It is what I said, "It's NOT all about singing, America has got to LIKE you too!"

Team Scotty!!

Scotty sealed it up for me tonight.. as our pal Randy Jackson loves to say, he's in it to win it! He is so adorable, and a stun. He has the charm, talent, and overall charisma it takes to win.

Although, I wouldn't be disappointed if Lauren wins.. she's got such a pretty voice and in my opinion she rocked I Hope You Dance. However, I think I agree with everyone else that she just has some growing up and maturing to do. But she is extremely likeable. Scotty will record and we'll hear him on the radio either way, so it doesn't really matter if he technically wins or not. And I wouldn't mind seeing Lauren win.

If Haley makes it, however, I'll be mad. She does have a good voice, but her attitude is so annoying. I'm over her. I thought her first song was good, her second was poop, and her third was great. But, while she hit the notes perfectly, I don't think she sang You Oughta Know with the passionate anger that the song called for. She was practically smiling. She just bugs me and I hope she goes.

Nothing would shock me at this point.

Is Scotty a King or What?????????

I LOVED the show tonight!  Sooooooo entertaining!!!!  Everything I have said and thought about Haley culminated in tonight's performance.  She is a brat who thinks she is great.  Her last song was flat out NOT good.  She was so out of sync on it that it wasn't even funny.  Her first song was pretty good, but on the second....no.  She is no Stevie Nicks.  She is so full of herself that she ruins the whole feel.  Greg summed it up perfectly.  She doesn't have the heart the other two do.  He has barely watched the show this year, but he watched most of it last night and that was his feel.  Totally agree with you on Lauren, Deb.  She keeps getting better and better each week.  She will be an entertainer no doubt.  I just don't think she is quite ready.  She is just not consistent enough.  Obviously, in my book, Scotty is an orbital stun.  Nothing would surprise me on the show tonight.  I HOPE  Haley is off, but I don't feel too confident that it will happen.  I had actually thought that the finale would be Pia and Scotty. 

COULD BE ANYONE!!!!

Well I can honestly say I have NO IDEA what might happen after tonight. They can ALL sing....they were all good....and they could ALL go home. It really is a roll of the dice. But for me, Scotty is still hands down my favorite all the way around. I love his voice, I love his feel, I love the way he sings a song and tells a story. He is just sooo good. Personally, I still feel, while she has drastically improved, Lauren is just not there. She has a good voice, but I just don't think she is it. Her first song in my opinion paled to Faith Hill's version. The one that Steven had as the best of the round was a NO WAY she beat Scotty in that round, and her final one was really good, but again not the best. Haley was really good too. REALLY good. But I dislike her so it doesn't really matter. I just want to slap her. I don't like the way she acts AT ALL....I am really hoping I am not the only one. America needs to vote her off. OK, IF I was pressed to the wall and had to venture a guess I would say, Haley and Scotty in the finale. But I really want it to be Lauren and Scotty, with Scotty winning. One more week!!

POOR JAMES

Well I think everyone has already chewed this, but I just still can't believe it!! What in the world was that??!? How on earth Haley is in (or even Lauren) and James is out is just sooo ridiculous I can hardly stand it. I do believe again if they called America for an immediate re vote it wouldn't be the case. It is just soo weird. EVERYONE I talked to and everything I read had Haley as a hated dog. How did she get in? I just wanted to smack her for some reason. Her swirling head was sooo annoying. And poor James. I felt soo bad for him. I think he would have appreciated it the most getting to go back to his town in style. I just wanted to cry. Oh well, it is what it is I guess and now I feel like SURELY Scotty is a complete shoe TO WIN it all now. I guess I will SADLY remove James from the side.... : (

Haley cooked herself.

Well, Haley took a wild, bloody bite out of the hand that's been feeding her. She's going home. Bottom line, her first song sucked. Not only was the song choice bad, she just didn't sing it that well. She was definitely screaming at the end. Her second song was awesome. In fact, it could have redeemed her. But her indignant, annoying attitude is what slammed the nail in the coffin. Was she dead serious? I wanted to smack her. Quit arguing, rolling your eyes, and making borderline sarcastic comments. It is not going to go over well with America. I also didn't like the way the judges handled it.. have some back bone and stick to what you're saying. "Sorry we were so hard on you.." Really? Ridiculous. It's moments like that where I miss Simon the most. He would have wiped that annoying look right off her face with just the right scathing quip. And them having to give her a standing ovation and act like she was the greatest performer of all time on her second one was mildly repulsive.

So how was that?? And you KNOW I've been a huge Haley fan from day one. If she lost me for a fan, I have a feeling she lost countless others as well.

Scotty's song choice on his first one was so perfect I almost couldn't stand it. LOVED it. I didn't love his second one, but it doesn't matter. That's how good his first one was.

James really redeemed himself tonight. Liked both of his performances.

I also really liked Lauren's performances, but she hasn't WOW'ed me in awhile. She needs to step it up.

As for Lady Gaga... I have such mixed feelings about her. I love her songs, I must admit. I listened to her first CD exclusively for months on end. However, I find her constant political messages annoying (She is extremely liberal and loud)... Not just because I disagree with her, but because she's a pop star, not a politician. Plus, she's just not smart. Stick to singing Bad Romance and Poker Face and shut up. I really don't care one way or another about her crazy, freak costumes. It doesn't shock me at all anymore. I agree she was way too much for Scotty and James, lol. The rest of her advice was ok, and really not any worse than any of the other "mentors" they have. Personally, 98% of the time the mentors are pointless anyway. At least Lady Gaga was somewhat entertaining.

Final prediction - Haley cooked herself and will be sent galloping home with a swift kick.
