My opinion is that either Jacob or Casey should go home. The thing about the duet with James and Jacob...there was no harmony, they both took turns singing the melody and "hitting the big notes" - each in their own individual way. The other two duets all had nice harmonies in them...as a matter of fact Scotty pretty much sang nothing but harmony, and Casey and Haley traded off. I think considering the two people involved (J/J) it was the best they could do. I think Haley should have sung "I Feel the Earth Move" as her regular song...it is perfect for her voice. I like Lauren's hair and makeup so much better during her interview sessions...she looks overdone in her performances. I like her hair curly and to me she looks like she is overbronzed and has old fashioned Barbie eyes (those of you over 50 will know what I mean). Scotty reminded me of Glen Campbell tonight, and not in a bad way. Jacob should be voted of simply for wearing such an ugly outfit.

That duet at the end was appalling.

Sadiesmom, not only did they say the performance shows would be one hour and the elimination shows would only be 30 minutes, they also said NO MORE theme weeks!! Can you tell that I just can't seem to get over this?

Since when do you two believe what you hear about this show? Huh? Huh? My comments from last night: Jacob. Could not ff fast enough. The judges may want him to let go but that was gawdawful horrid. Not to mention the butt ugly suit. I really do not like his voice... it's a jello voice and sounds thick and not in a good way to me. Lauren. Totally over styled ugly dress and a totally unnatural performance. Didn't think it was all that great singing. I think she should've done less with her styling and sung Natural Woman. She needs to learn to just say no to the self tanners, too. (I mentioned this a few weeks ago.). She's turned into a country caricature, IMNSO. She's too young to look like a mini Dolly. The short boots have to go... make her look very stout. Yay SYTYCD is back in May!! Whoo hoo! Haley and Casey. Was all right. Probably the best duet of the night. But didn't they duet before? Why didn't they duet her with Jacob? Two of the worst singers and they know it? Scott. This was the least fake I've heard him sing. He totally lost the annoying twang for most of the song. I liked the beginning the best. But especially because he didn't twang. Oh and the mic? So suddenly he's learned how to hold a mic and not look like he's gonna eat it? Jennifer's dress is totally ugly. It's fine from a distance definitely not close up. Ugh. James. OMG a capella! Blew me away, again. The man can sing! I thought this was the most awesome performance of the night and again, I watched it twice. Loved his voice and what he did with the song. Lauren and Scott duet. Too expected; isn't this also their second time singing together? Hated it. This time he went really twangy, too. But I liked her dress much more than the earlier one. Again, though, the ugly boots gotta go. Casey. Liked beginning and the loved horns & sax. I really enjoyed the jazz blues feel. Reminded me of how much I liked him in the very early days of auditions. Haley. Seriously bored with her arms and awkward performances. But seriously hated the song. The entire thing was a hot mess... What did the judges hear that sounded so beautiful, cuz coming thru the TV it was so not. Dunno how much was her fault, but the sound mixer blew it. Even if she couldn't hear what she was singing, the control room could. James and Jacob. Ugh. Just ugh. Even if I liked it, Jacob's voice would've ruined it. I just do not like his voice. But the performance was cheesy, too. Ugh.

I see Scotty at the top of dialidol again. I just don't get it...at all! James for the win, though he'll have a career without it. Liked Casey in the beginning but now can barely watch him sing. Jacob and Haley can leave with Scotty and Casey.

Actually I think it is Lauren and Scott's third time singing together. Jennifer's dress reminded me of an ice skater costume with the weird see-through cloth running up to the spangles on her arms.

As a confirmed Noonatic, I've seen Peter Noone from Hermans Hermits sing I'm Into Something Good many times. That was not a good duet of this song. It should have been much more uptempo and bouncy. It would have sounded better with only James singing.

I think the final two will be James & Scotty. They were both AMAZING last night.

I totally loved James' performance last night. It is refreshing to hear his strong singing voice and not all the screeching. He is very talented and should go far! I kind of like Casey's quirkiness and willingness to try new things for the Idol stage. I think he talented also but may not be American Idol material. Somewhere there is a niche for him, however. I think Haley has talent and needs to get a better handle on how to present it. I do like the earthiness in her voice. Lauren is too unsure of herself and her lack of confidence in who she is as an artist is showing through, IMHO. Scotty did an awesome job last night. I really, really liked him and felt like he was trying something new (for him). He did not come across as "country" but as a balladeer. Very nice. Jacob....what can I say. Can't stand the guy, can't look at him and certainly don't enjoy listening to him. Time to go!!!!!

I was gladded James branched out. He did do his signature screech, but I still liked it. Ok, does James remind anyone else of Mad TV's Will Sasso (a thin version?)

Escapee, I read that as glad. I would make a terrible proof reader. LOL Anyway, I left the room when Haley sang and also when James and Jacob sang. I really liked James last night, but next week when he goes back to screaming, I won't. I am thinking probably James and Scotty in the finals. Maybe Scotty is listening to people about how silly he looks holding the mic the way he does and the facial expressions. There didn't seem to be so many quirky eyebrow movements last night except when Ryan egged him on. JMO

Costa, I found Casey's performance last night a real throwback to the auditions - which is back when I liked him. It seemed like once the competition started, he was song-choice challenged. Even though James and Scotty are my two faves, I will have to give Casey props for doing a good job with the perfect song for him last night.

Ok, I'll be-odd-man out today. I agree that the James/Jacob duet singing was not good at all, but I kind of enjoyed it. It made me think of a couple of kids being silly for their friends and it looked as if they really enjoyed themselves. I will now run from this thread before I get voted out.

Even Steven Tyler had a negative comment "What was that?" But of course, he loved it, LOL.

I agree that Laura's look is very costume-y. I like Haley's voice but she needs to stop doing that little bouncy step when she's singing. James was my favorite, liked Scotty's voice in the song - very light and pleasant. Jacob has got to go!

Laura? Do you mean Lauren, perhaps? I think she's a very beautiful girl. I just wish she'd have a little more confidence in herself. I thought she did great last night. One of her best performances. She actually looked like she was enjoying herself and I loved how playful she was with that guy she picked out of the audience. I think the producers keep pairing her with Scotty because they are the same type of singers (country) and their voices blend very well. I just don't see her with anyone else. Same with Haley and Casey. James is in a category all by himself (love him!) and Jacob just needs to go. He's just not good enough and that outfit was hideous! His stylist should be fired.

According to EW the guy from the audience that Lauren sang to was not just a guy form the audience. He was in on the act. I like Lauren.

Of course he was in on the act. First off, he sat down on his mark too quickly. And I disagree that she looked like she was enjoying herself. She may have been, but the walking around the judges doesn't really do it for me. It's awkward and seems forced. Who is Carlton Banks?
