I like... Scotty (sorry Llkoolaid...but I really do) Haley Lauren James I am ok with... Casey Jacob I want gone... Paul Stefano Honestly, at this point I'm not in love with any of them. LOL...My local radio show is having Tim Halperin on every Thursday morning (he was in the top 24) on a segment they call "Idol Got It Wrong" (they are on Facebook). He is challenged to sing one song from a contestant the night before and we get to vote whether his version is better than the contesstants' - last week he SMOKED Stefano's version of "When a Man Loves a Woman."

I love James. I like Casey. I tolerate Lauren. I am bored by Haley and Paul and Scott. Any could leave I wouldn't miss 'em. I cannot stand Stefano and Jacob. Way past both of their times to go. I really loved Paul and Casey at the beginning but Paul is truly a one note trick and Casey has seemed to lost some of his luster. The only one who's performances I've really enjoyed week after week is James. Unfortunately, I think he is going to be this year's Adam Lambert and will end up losing to someone more boring (as Adam did in his season). That said, however, I think James will far outshine anyone who does win this season, just as Adam has. I'm really bored with the boring, whitebread, milquetoast, vanilla, middle of the road winners here. Can you tell?

Actually, with the right handling, I think James will surpass Adam...and not because he is a better singer (I actually think it is a toss-up, with Adam having a slight edge...he has far more control over his voice than James does, although James might have a better "rock and roll" voice). But James will not take the same controversial road that Adam did, which will make him far more acceptable to a larger portion of the public (and I'm in no way criticizing Adam's lifestyle or his choices). I just think that if Adam had been a little less "out" he would have already been pushing the stratosphere as far as his career is concerned...and then of course there was that first disastrous appearance on that awards show...for a man who until that point had been very calculating and on point about his choices as far as his career and public persona...I'm still surprised that he chose that venue to be so outrageous.

As Adam said, it was the spur of the moment thing. So I don't and never have held that against him. And honestly, I like that he pushes envelopes and buttons. He's out, and proud, and definitely gonna let people know. I think both James and Adam are great singers and great performers. It will ultimately end up with who has the best handlers and publicity machines. I think Adam's quite pleased with where he's been and where he's going. I hope James will be, too.

Although I liked it and it makes me sad to say this I do think that Adam blew it from a business perspective with that performance at the awards show. He was relatively careful on American Idol, it was too fast and I think it turned off some borderline fans and it didn't make him many new ones. It's all about combining art and business and weighing the two. I'm not saying he made the wrong decision artistically but it may have not been a good business choice. James Haley Lauren Casey don't care

FWIW, ITA AGAAAAAAINNNNNNN with both Roxip and Costa regarding James and Adam. Do you two ever wonder whether or not I follow y'all around here all day just agreeing with both of you?

Well, we kind of expect EVERYBODY to agree with us, but that never happens...LOL! Costa, I'm not disagreeing with you, but I agree with what Jimmer said that from a business standpoint it wasn't a good move. Personally I think Adam is fabulous. Sorry to see him behave so poorly at Gaga's birthday party though.

I LOVE... Lauren Haley James I'm ok with... Scotty Casey Paul I want gone... Jacob Stefano I totally agree with the discussion on James and Adam and especially what Jimmer said. I love Adam but he didn't do himself any favors with his first big performance. He has every right to push buttons and envelopes and be who he wants to be, however, he can't be surprised if fans are turned off by it. Roxip, are you talking about Kidd Kraddick by chance? They're on air where I live also. I caught part of Tim Halperin's first interview with them. It's funny they are doing this because he was the one I was most disappointed that didn't make it in the top 13.

I like James....Jacob....Paul....in that order. I love Paul's voice but he doesn't do it any justice with the songs he sings. Jacob needs more training in the type of songs to sing also. James is the whole package.

If I put them in order: James & Casey (Tie for 1st) Lauren / Haley (Tie for 2nd) Scotty (not a country fan, so he's probably better than I think) Paul, Jacob, Stefano (Last place tie)

I don't think Adam was surprised by the reaction to his performance on the awards show. I think OTHER people were surprised. I think Lex, hon, you should ALWAYS follow me around and just agree with me. Always. Cuz, well, girlfriend, you know I is right!

My faves in no particular order, Scotty, Jacob, and Casey. I love that Casey went back to his musical roots last night. He was awesome. I couldn't stop applauding.

Costa, I was with you after last night's show, but I thought Haley was good tonight, so I will add her to my list. I'll give the rest of them another week and see if anyone else grabs me!

FWIW, I'd like to remind folks that being gay is not a "lifestyle" or "choice". Suppressing/hiding yourself is. I like: James and Casey Lauren Stephano Scotty Haley/Jacob

But Yes, Haley hasn't performed like that during the shows for elimination. So I can't get on board with that. Next week, if she sucks during the elimination performance, I'll know it's cuz she really can't perform under pressure.

I like James a LOT. I think he is the most polished performer right now. I think Casey has a lot of potential, but he has a ways to go. They are the only two I can envision listening to in the future. While Scotty's genre isn't one to which I listen, I can appreciate his talent. Haley is another one with potential, but I don't see her going far. She was terrific on that jazz duo with Casey, but she consistently picks very, very bad songs for her voice and talents.

I adore Casey but he will never make it to the top. I can see where his health problems are affecting his vigor and enthusiasm. James for American Idol. He is exciting and and so full of joy and spirit...he has "charisma" just pouring out with that big grin!!
