Jacob totally ruined Love Hurts! I have always liked that song, but he managed to turn it into a gospel song! I do not get the love for his singing by the judges and whomever is voting for him. Roxip, said it right, he's good if you like that type of singing, which I don't.

Haley and James for the final two!

James would have rocked love hurts.

Scotty was awesome last night. I really want him to sing some George Strait, like Baby Blue or So Good In Love

Scotty has definitely learned how to "perform" since the competition started. He is always so pitch-perfect - he is never off-key.

Once Jacob is gone, I honestly don't know who will get in the Final Two because these four are so good and now with internet voting, you can't go by Dial Idol's results so we don't really know who is the "fan favorite."

And as an aside, Pia_the_Balladeer would not belong in the Final Four with this group. While I was shocked that she went home when she did, now I'm glad it happened. I would have been very upset if either James, Scotty, Haley or Lauren had gone home before Pia.

I have, fortunately, managed to miss the hip thrusting by Jacob. Most likely because he gets one bar out and I'm grabbing for the FF as fast as I can. I FF all the way thru to the next singer, too, because I don't even want to hear his voice just speaking.

Haley and James are the only two who should be safe this week. All the others can go and I'd be fine. But please, make Jacob go first!!!

Sadly, I think Lauren is now at risk. She's really stalled these last few weeks and as she's not been in the bottom three(??) complacency by her fans might have her leaving next. Jacob should definitely be the one to go.

I loved both of Haley's songs, James' second (he sounded just awful in the first, worst he's ever been). Scotty was good and always so watchable, Lauren was just nice. Jacob is done I hope. He never should have been in the competition, he has a wonderful voice but only in gospel, anytime he tries to stretch it to other genres it just doesn't fit.

I think Haley really pulled all the stops on her last song. One of my favorites and she did a great job! James is always good. I love his heart!

Lauren is "a dime a dozen" to me and Scotty has his niche already placed. Jacob...what can I say. NOTHING. He must go!!!!!!

Never have liked Scotty or Haley. However, the way Haley sang House of The Rising Sun, should keep her there.

Jacob...who is voting for him anyway?

Lauren is alright.

I like James. He will have a career either way but hope he wins. And I like him as a person...from what I can see.

I hope Scotty wins, never have cared much for Haley. I think all of them would like to win to improve their and their families life. JMO

Haley hit it out of the ballpark with House of The Rising Sun! Wow!

One of my fave songs ever!!!! (If I could carry a tune, and sang karioke this would be it.)

We were talking here at work... what is really crazy is they praised James singing a song no one ever heard of by a group no one ever heard of (I work for one of the largest law firms in the City and no one here that watches Idol knew the song or group for James' first song). But yet, they totally rag on Haley for singing an "unreleased" song by Lady Gaga (who everyone knows even if they don't care for her music - which I would be one of those people). And Haley did a fantastic job with the first song - even if I didn't know the song because I'm not a Lady Gaga fan and would never go to her concerts.

Talk about a double-standard.

You're expecting these judges to be consistent and sensible with their critiques?

Seriously, that is one of the things that irritates me the most about this show. One minute they are telling someone to be modern, unique and edgy and then they say the opposite a few minutes later. They have contestants following their expert's advice and then blame the contestant for following the advice despite a great performance. It's crazy.

It's "the script" -- the storyline producers decide. I'm convinced of it. The judges need to evangelize "thescript", which is why it just doesn't make sense sometimes. If they were just judging a singing competition and not making a tv show, they wouldn't be making us crazy like this. lol

Lex, just FYI... 30 Seconds to Mars is fairly well known. And not just because their lead singer is a fairly well known actor, Jared Leto. Dunno what y'all are doing in your law firm, but here in San Diego, some of us do listen to rock! :-) (It's not a new album, it's been around a while.)

Auntimike, you hit nail on head... Lauren is a dime a dozen. She's boring to me. She looks like any other big haired blonde country wannabe to me. Nothing special. Yeah, she's got a pretty voice and yeah, she's sorta pretty in a buxom way. But she's gotta grow up and learn how to really connect with people. Cuz she's pretty not believable right now. And dime a dozen boring.

Can someone explain "Scotty the body" to me? Cuz, um, yeah no. Not in this lifetime no thank you. Not even remotely an interesting body.

As for "the script," if the producers had hired some people who could actually BE judges and actually HAVE opinions, then maybe they wouldn't NEED a script! While they are all nice and all, this season sucks and largely because of the mess of the judges (followed closely by the mess of boring and/or plain awful singers).

Costa, we must be too busy practicing law in our office because no one here that watches American Idol has ever heard of the group 30 Seconds to Mars or the song that James sang.

I've heard of them in my international fruit and juice manufacturing plant.

My sister (17) is a very big fan of theirs, as are most of her friends. Maybe it's a California thing.

Could be. Isn't James from California? Randy made the comment that it was risky for James to sing an unfamiliar song from a group not known to many people.

I have heard of the group and like their songs but it is probably just not AS popular as other songs out.

But I don't believe for one second that J-LO knows any of the country songs Scotty sings besides the oldies - you are telling me she's heard that song before? yeah right.
