I also agree that JLo was way out of line picking Lauren as the winner of that round when Haley hadn't even sung yet.

I just don't care for Haley. When they did the play back, her first and third song sounded exactly the same. It seems like she screams most of the time and sings a little, but not much. It is a different year for sure. We have 2 country singers and 1 rocker. Their style couldn't be more different, or more unappealing to the audience of the different style. After listening to the playback for all 3, it seems like Lauren was the best on all songs. I hated Scotty's singing of Kenny Rodger's song. Kenny has that raspy, low voice and Scotty just sang it like any other song. I would love to hear Scotty and Lauren do a Kenny Rodger's duet. Lauren for the WIN!

Have to agree with you on most points, Iluvreality. Just can't warm up to Haley. And as good as Scotty's voice is, the weird faces and gestures are very distracting. Lauren is my favorite.

I think the judges hate Haley. They picked You Oughta Know. Not a singer's song at all. Haley for the win! I love her

Never thought I would say this, but Haley should win. If not Haley, then Lauren. Wish it would be the two girls in final but I know it won't happen. Please, someone, tell me what is so great about Scotty...because I just don't see it. Maybe I'm just too distracted by all his weirdness!

Well, in defense of Haley, she has at least tried new things and stretched herself in this competition. She has grown and she is very talented. She doesn't growl everything....at least not any more or less than Adam or James screeched in their songs. I think she took a very difficult last song and did an amazing job with it. I was not familiar with it but realized how hard it was. I think she did a very good job on all her songs. I like the Fleetwood Mac song too! I think Haley has shown us more versatility and different styles than the other two singers left. In fact, has Scotty sung any song outside of the country genre???? Lauren will get chewed up an spit out if she enters the professional world of singers at this time. She is good but not unique. Maybe that's what Idol wants....another bread and butter singer. Scotty.....needs to go.....to Nashville.....and get off the AI stage.

I agree with everything Auntimike said. I think Lauren is great but I do think she is too emotionally immature and fragile to win this thing. Even Beyonce alluded to her insecurities, I think it will be recipe for disaster for the girl.

I thought Haley nailed all the songs, but I am mad at the judges for having her sing that last song. Did they know what that song is about? Seriously, not a song to sing on American Idol, imo.

I agree that it's obvious JLo does not like Haley at all. I knew by the look on her face when it was time to critique, she was not liking her. I think Tyler loves Haley. I've liked Haley from the beginning so I'm glad she's shining more now.

Scotty has just as much right to be on the AI stage as anyone else...American Idol has long since evolved from being the "Pop Idol" that Simon Cowell envisioned way back in the day. Despite efforts from the judges to the contrary, there has always been a wide range of diversity in the contestants...sometimes good, sometimes bad. I actually think Fantasia was certainly different from what they originally envisioned as a winner, and then you had Carrie and Bo the next season who were definitely not "pop" stars. Since then it has been a floodgate of different types of singers...and the funny thing is the ones who I would think of as "pop" have been some of the biggest disappointments...Kris Allen, Lee...certainly haven't yet had that big song. I don't think Haley fits into pop either, unless they want to mold her into a type like that British woman who sings "Rolling in the Deep."

I know this is petty, but this topic shouldn't be called "Top 3 sing" anymore, these are not the top 3...they are the 3 that are left. The judges need to be more real with their comments, everyone is not always good all the time. Whenever they do criticize, the just sugar coat it.

At this point the judges give glowing comments because it is up to the public to vote and their opinions are irrelevant. Steven Tyler, isnt a judge but he is there for entertainment purposes at least he entertains me -- kind of like this years Paula Abdul. I think when you look at the whole picture J-Lo gave much better constructive criticism than Randy, she often spoke to them about their tone, presence and overall performance. Randy, yeah I get it--- they are in it to win it. I love Scotty's voice but my beef with him is that he seems incapable of emotion and also there is something that seems phony about his personality, I dont know what it is -- maybe it is his smile -- it comes off as a smirk.

Call me sentimental but I like these home town bits. It is sweet. Now e have another singer, never heard of. Looks like a Shakira wannabe and will never be heard from again.

I miss James!! I agree with Maris about Scotty. He is just to slick for me. I never thought I would say this, because I really did not like Haley for a long time into this competition; but considering who is left, I guess I have to pull for her. Please, not Scotty.

Loved the visits to the home towns. Lauren and Scotty (yes Scotty....suprise suprise) showed a great deal of emotion going home. Not so much from Haley. I liked Haley until tonight. Then when she did not make the final 2, she actually looked mad like she was really expecting to be one of the finalists. She just froze and Lauren went to hug her and she was kind of pissy. JMHO

Scotty has no idea what is going on. He is in his own world and way to immature. I miss James, also.

Oh I too think that James should have been in the final 2 and come out the winner.

Haley did look shocked and rightly so. She SHOULD have been in the final 2. She is a better performer than Scotty and Lauren. IMO, she outshined them both last night. Now we're looking at a country music finale. Blech

It is American Idol and country music is American. Scotty and Lauren got more votes then Haley!

A lot of people say they didn't like Haley for her attitude and usually I don't like it when they get a little attitude but in Haley's case it seemed liked the judges did not like her. They gave glowing comments to singers even when they were terrible with the exception of Haley. I still like Haley and hope she does well with her music.

I agree Bama-karen, Haley has to deal with the negativity from the judges while the others have never heard true criticism. I think she handled it well considering. I watched the show back this morning and I saw Haley get very emotional during her home visit, just as much as the other two.

I have finally figured out something. The judges comments are more for the entertainment of the audience than they are for helping the contestants. Their comments in the past were so inconsistent and vague as to be useless and this season they are all sweetness and light. The "judges" have never really been judges, they have been entertainers.
