I can appreciate Haley trying to do something different, but this is coming across like a bad lounge act.

JLo loved it. It all came together. Amazing! Randy, another amazing performance and the best of the night. Stephen said she sings sexy.

I am sorry to say that no one gets my votes tonight. What a waste of 2 hours of dull drum and screaming. I think it will be Stefano, Naima, and Thia in the bottom 3. But I also did not like Casey, Haley,and Lauren. Can't wait to see Dialidol later.They were correct the last 2 weeks

I've only watched the first four (will watch the rest later). So far I thought that Scotty was excellent (and I don't usually like country all that much). Surprisingly I also thought that Naima gave a cool and different performance. Pretty unique for a change. This is the first performance from her that I enjoyed. I was surprised that the judges didn't like it more. I thought that Paul didn't do anything with Rocket Man. It is a soaring song and Paul's rocket never made it off the launch pad! Pia sang well and I love that song but she isn't much of a performer. Very little movement. I do like her singing though. So that's as far as I've got. I'm looking forward to seeing Lauren.

So, this is my first time posting in Idol Land.... so please be gentle I have to say that tonight was a great show. Dont know if it was because it was Elton John night or what, it was just good. My faves all season have been Lauren, Scotty & Casey... and they all were AMAZING tonight! I got chills and teary when Casey sang (GREAT choice of song) Hayley really surprised me. She was very good. Paul was also another surprise I just dont get what all the buzz is about Jacob, I cannot listen to him for more then 20 seconds of any song he sings.... The same for Phi (sp?) I think it will be poor Thia and Stefano going home this week.

Help me Ronda. Help help me Ronda. Sorry I couldn't resist. Anyone else find it ironic that Lauren sang about someone with a changed name?

Hi Ronda I'm up to Lauren... I thought Scotty was goodish (hard to say good when the style just does nothing for me) Naima was pretty bad - can singing in an accent that's not your own ever be a good thing? Paul wasn't that great for me though I'm still intrigued by him Stefano shouldn't have messed with the song Pia was good, but this week imo wasn't as good as they seemed to think Lauren was really nice.

Wow, what a comeback for Casey! I loved that. (Liked the haircut too.) James was a bit over the top for my tastes. Thia sounded very different, but I still liked it. I thought Jacob was singing too high. And I thought Haley was too forced - she sang it well but it was like she was trying too hard to be rock and roll. I think Naima, Thia and Jacob will be bottom three... I think Naima and Thia will go home.

I am going to sound like a broken record but.... Clay Aiken absolutely 'killed' 'Don't let the Sun Go Down on me' and Clay's version of "Sorry seems to be the hardest word' is fantastic. In my way of thinking....do not sing a Clay song!!! But again, I only listen to Clay.

I am thinking it should be Naima and Paul going home tonight. I just don't connect with Paul's voice and I don't think Naima is all that good.

Loved Casey and James. Like Pia and Lauren (although Lauren killed it). Hated Stefano and Jacob (one can't perform and one overperforms). Could care less about Thia's and Haley's lounge acts. Don't like country so not a fan of Scotty. Thought Paul really ruined Rocket Man. Totally not a fan of the forced reggae that Naima did. Who should leave tonight? Stefano, Thia, Naima. And I don't get the judges. Is it just me or is everyone "beautiful" according to Steven, "beautiful" according to Jennifer, and "hot" according to Randy? I am so not hearing what the judges are hearing. (For example, they all gushed all over Haley and I totally didn't see the "complete package." I thought it was forced.)

I stiiiiiiiiiiiiill don't get all the "Paul love." I'm not a huge fan of Rod Stewart - I mean he's okay at best. But there is something about Paul that just gives me the heebie-jeebies. I can't put my finger on it. I loved James, Haley, Lauren and Pia. Casey was good, but not as good as those four. I'm excited to see Pia will be performing a Tina Turner song next week. Naima... what can I say?

I don't care for Casey, Paul, Jacob, or Naima. I like Scotty and Lauren (For the record, I love Kellie Pickler and think she is very talented, LOL)

Lexie, I feel that way about Stefano. The way he almost "rapes" the camera with his eyes skeeves me out just like Constatine Maroulis did several years ago. :shudder:

While Haley was destroying Bennie & the Jets, I glanced over at DH and he just had his hand over his eyes shaking his head. Ay yi yi! I did NOT hear what those judges heard. Thought she was awful. We went around the rest of the night going, "Buh buh buh" and cracking each other up. Just don't get the Haley love, nor the Pia love. You are 100% correct, Jimmer. She sings well (except for those screechy high notes), but she doesn't perform. I don't find her at all entertaining. Loved James & Lauren. The end of Lauren's song gave me goosebumps. Love her! She's the complete package: personality, beautiful, great singing voice. It amazes me that she's only 16. Poor Thia is in way over her head. I thought Naima did better last night. I actually enjoyed her reggae version [of whatever she sang--can't remember now what it was!], but she won't win. It was her best performance so far, however. I don't get Paul either. Still looks like a muppet. Casey looks better with his makeover (they actually listened to us!), but he's still not my cup of tea. Thought Jacob was great. Stephano was okay.

Escapee, I also love Scotty. I think he is going to have a huuuuuuuge career in country music, whereas Lauren will have a big career with country/cross-over.

Costa - the judges are driving me crazy! As much as I loved Steven during the auditions, he is useless now in the live shows. Jennifer has great constructive comments but she is also being too nice. And we've spent years on Randy, I won't go into it again. lol

I kept wanting someone to grab Haley's 'pageant' arm and tell her to stop waving it around. I heard a replay this morning on her song, it sounded meh. Kind of what I thought last night. Not a good song choice for her. Casey looked better and sounded good too. Glad to see that he's able to take advice and make changes to help his cause. Didn't hear Naima, except in the 10 second recap. Glad I didn't hear the whole song. Didn't like the reggae version. James was good, but he's getting a bit too manic for me. I'd like to see him sing a ballad to see what's really there. Pia was good, if you like that kind of performance. Not my cup of tea, but she will probably go far. Opposite of James, I'd like to see her do an upbeat song. Thia sounds much better if you don't look at her. Jacob, every performance seems exactly like the prior one. Good singer, but he bores me. Can't really comment on Scotty or Lauren, as I missed both performances and the recap snippet for both was not memorable. Paul's okay, Stephano is probably gone, but then, this week 2 people will go home.

Babyjaxmom, your post made me laugh out loud! I agree with most of what you said, except I really like Casey. Jacob is ok but boring. I think the bottom 2 should be Paul and Haley.

Only from who I heard singing - bottom 2 would be Stephano and Naima, but wouldn't mind Jacob or Thia there.

Watched it w/my sister and we both determined most are better if you don't look at them. I'd be okay with Naima, Jacob (please let it be so), Stefano or James taking the leave. I'm curious what Thia will do next week if she makes it....nice voice but she'd better step it up.

I don't get the Jacob love from the judges. Except for last week, I don't like him at all. Overdoes it most of the time. Not that impressed with Pia either.

I think Jacob like Thia has great potential but they dont have a maturity or it seems they need to further develop their skills. They listen, take advice but they dont "make the song their own".

I dunno... I see Jacob doing karaoke all over while Thia does lounge acts. I just don't think the ability to sing means someone can do something with it.

Jacob doesn't do anything for me, but he's way up on the list from the voting at dialidol, anyway.
