Babyjaxmom, IMO Scotty is getting more of the "little girls" votes. I have two teenagers 14 and 15 and they both LOVE Scotty. They don't mind Stefano but they've loved Scotty from the first time they saw him. I don't think Stefano has the charisma that Scotty has. I agree with you on Taylor Swift. I like her and her music. I also agree that with maturity and experience, Lauren could be as successful as Carrie Underwood. Nyheat, Haley was one of my favorites the other night also. I loved her performance and I've always loved her voice.

I didn't say that Lauren was "no Carrie Underwood" - I said she "wasn't quite Carrie Underwood." I agree...Carrie Underwood has grown by leaps and bounds as an artist since she won American Idol. I think she had the talent and she got great advice and great songs and has really achieved so much (and I was a huge Bo Bice fan)...and she has so many years to go in her career. I think Lauren could be just as successful...and even think she has more potential as a crossover artist because of what she showed in her audition...I'm more than surprised that she has gone a more "country" route during the show because that's not what I thought she was at all in the audition round. Just tongue-in-cheek about Stefano's name...although it is kind of "old country" to me. But hey, I live in Texas where we still have Juniors and Bubbas and Treys in multiples in families! One thing though - I agree that Scotty appeals more to the younger girls...I think that Stefano seems to read quite a bit older in his song choice and personality than Scotty does, which probably makes him more attractive to those of us who are older but doesn't appeal as much to the younger set...who unfortunately tend to be the most devoted voters.

That kind of surprises me, Roxip, about Scotty and Stefano. Scotty is young but his song choices and style seem kind of traditional country to me. I'm surprised the little girls get it. I do like him, though, but wish he could stop with the smirks. Bugs me!

They are very superficial (trust me, I live with a 14-year old)...LOL!

BJM, my nephews, 13 and 16 years-old, said the girls in their schools L.O.V.E. Scotty over Stefano. They said the girls are also huge fans of James. The rest of the guys - not so much. Far be it from me to try to get into the mind of a teenager, but I think the reason Scotty may be so popular with the teens (even if they aren't huge fans of country music) is he seems to be very wholesome - the guy next door, etc. etc. And he can sing. That duet last week with Lauren was fabulous!!! He's just a very endearing guy (as is James).

What I loved about Haley's Bennie and the Jets is that it is not one of my favorite Elton songs, as a matter of fact I usually switch radio stations when it comes on but I found myself singing it all weekend and when it did come on the radio, I wanted to listen to it!!!

I think the diff between Scotty and StefAno is that Stefano does the cheesy poor pitiful me I'm singing my heart out look. Really cheesy and kinda skeevy. Scotty, while I believe he forces the twang more than needed, isn't quite as cheesy.

That Haley performance has been in my head for days. Now that's powerful stuff, people. A little bit of white witch magic in Haley!

Haley: meh. Not my cup of tea at all. Scotty is pretty adorable. He's so talented for being so young. Stefano is a pretty good singer, but I do hate when singers can't keep their eyes open. It's like they're singing for themselves. Connect with your audience, dude! At least Scotty's got that part down cold. Casey looks better with his trim-up, but I just wish he'd stop baring his teeth at me. He scares me!

You know what's weird? I have been told that I sing with my eyes closed, but I think I must just slit them down, because I can see people when I'm singing. Perhaps Stefano thinks his eyes are open.

I find it interesting how some of you think Haley was a wow performance. Including the judges. And I just so did NOT see it at all. Certainly not the best of the night. While she didn't totally destroy the song, she wasn't even in the top half of my faves.

FYI: David Archuletta sang with his eyes closed through the entire audition process, Hollywood week, season and finale.

I didn't think that particular performance was very good either though I still think Haley has potential and I like her. She seemed to hesitate throughout the song. And yes I do know what it is supposed to sound like but she just didn't seem to be comfortable with it. It sounded forced to me. I don't think any of them were very good though I do think that Scotty gave a solid performance, doing what Scotty does, aside from his facial expression.

I'm still not liking all the changes in the television schedule. Why did they have to go and mess me up?

Re Scotty singing out of the corner of his mouth. I think this helps give him the twang...I tried singing that way, and it made my voice deeper. try it .
