Well after last week's shocking elimination, I had to rethink who was going to be in the finale. I can't believe James was booted off.... did people think he was safe??
Anywhoo,,
Last night was alright for me. The one who shined was Haley,,, not Lauren! Something about her age and immaturity just doesn't mesh well. Haley had confidence and went for those notes more than Lauren did.
Haley's Led Zeppelin # with her Daddy-O was awesome. She was wailing, she was moving, she was FALLING! Poor Girl, but she recovered perfectly. I don't know how she moves around in those heels anyways. I wouldn't be able to walk in those things! Her Fleetwood Mac song was very pretty as well, it showed a different side of her voice and her stage qualities. Her makeup was beautiful last night. and did you notice?,,, Steven Tyler said Beautiful in every single critique of the 9 performances. "That was beautiful man",,, over and over again. I understand why the judges picked the Alannis song for her,, and it was because of the chorus. The verses were muddled and hard to understand,,, it is a difficult song to sing... I know... it's on Rock Band! Lol. She did do justice to those chorus's.
Scotty the body, had his crazy googley eyes and eyebrows going all whacky for a bit, but I really liked the second song the best. The Kenny Rogers song was ultra on the cheese factor... not my favorite. And it was nice to hear his upper register on Amazed. I actually enjoy him the most when he plays the guitar, which he rarely did this whole season. Isn't it weird too that not one Idol played the piano?
Lauren Alaina sang a great bunch of covers. She is a copy cat in my opinion. The Faith Hill song, which I love, was just a regular old karaoke version. Nothing new. She did hit the great notes on "Dance" the last song, so I thought she sounded really good on that one.
I'm really feeling Haley this season. She's not a cookie cutter, has some personality and gusto, and can sing like no one's business.
I would like to see Haley and Scotty in the finale, but have a feeling America's teens went crazy with their texting last night and voted Scotty and Lauren in.

Top 5 perform
I've been SOOOOO busy the last 2 weeks, and haven't had time to do a little idol bloggy action. So let's do a quick little recap of the top 5.
This was a pretty good week. OF COURSE Jacob was RIDICULOUS singing No Air. I'm so glad he is GONE from the season. Horrible hip thrusting action and just plain old ridiculous body movements.
Haley has so much more confidence on the stage than Lauren Alaina. Haley's scratchy vocals are just so interesting to listen to.
I'm irritated that Lauren didn't have the confidence to hit the big note in 'unchained melody'. That coulda been an incredible moment. She's just too dang nervous up there. The Carrie Underwood cover was just alright, but she doesn't have the acting down yet. You gotta get up there and act.
James and his little crying is getting too much for me. Pull it together man. Still love him though.
Scotty did well with his 2 numbers. I still predict him in the final 2.
So with Jacob gone, I have no one I hate anymore on stage. Daughtry left us at top 4 a few years back, do you think that could happen again?
Just read that Casey Abrams will be dueting with Jack Black at the finale. CAN NOT Wait to watch that one.
Next week they do songs from songwriters from the 50's. So some oldies again. I want one of the idols to take a song and totally switch it up,,, much like David Cook and Adam Lamber were able to do so brilliantly.
It's really hard for me to predict the rest of the season. I totally called Jacob going home, after this point, it will seriously be a surprise. Let's just say it will be a James/Scotty finale or a James/Lauren finale.
