DH thought Fergie looked different, too. I just thought her hair was different. I so wanted to like Naima when this season started, but she's just not good. Maybe it's that they just can't hear themselves. The band always seems too loud to really hear the singers. It's really hard to sing in tune if you can't hear yourself.

No, she's not that good. I want her to go home next week. This week Haley can go.

I wonder if Stefano's DUI, a year after he was almost killed by a drunk driver will have an impact on the voting for him.

I don't like Naima because she sucks at singing.

I don't think Naima sucks at singing. I think she belongs on Broadway. This is the wrong venue for her.

BabyJ, the opinions do not sound friendly, my sadness is about the labels, not the lack of talent.

I gather Stefano used being almost killed by a drunk driver as a "story" to get attention during auditions. I missed that since I wasn't paying much attention at that time. So it is highly ironic to now find out he later committed his own DUI. Naima just does nothing for me. But she can sing, I guess.

Ok, forgive me, but I also think Paul is a horrible singer.

Escape, I forgive you. I enjoy Paul's singing except for last week, but he sure can't dance! lol

As I understand it, Stefano didn't hurt anyone, I am hoping it was just a lapse in judgement.

Escapee, I'm also not a fan of Paul. There is something about him that rubs me the wrong way when he performs. I know I'm not the only one as my friends have said they don't care for him either. He's just "off."

My husband loves Paul, but he reminds me of a muppet! All those beautiful, white teeth grinning thru that beard!

He sounds as if he has a sinus infection.

I'm not crazy about Naima, either. No reason, she just doesn't do it for me. I like Paul sometimes but I don't think he will be the winner.

My sister has a theory that America does not like Haley that is why she was in the bottom!

I like Paul because he sounds like Rod Stewart, who I like, but we really don't need two Rod Stewarts. LOL I don't think he will win either. Whoever the stylist are, I think the way they are dressing Haley makes her look very cheap. JMO

Panda, Haley tries to hard and it shows. Or else she has a feeling of entitlement (based on her 'rents) and that shows, too. I haven't been a fan of hers, although I do like the bluesy growl. Lazy, I don't think the stylists really do much till the top 10. I think the contestants are still doing their own thing. As evidence by the horrible fit on the gawdawful white jacket that Jacob wore last night!

Well, I guess that is good to know, that it is the contestants own personal taste that is making them look not so good and not professional stylists.

Apparently the next theme is "hits from the 80's" On idolforums someone suggested "Betty Davis Eyes" for Paul

So much for "no more theme weeks." This is why the contestants can't connect - they are singing songs that aren't their particular genre.

I think theme weeks involving a specific type of music are an awful idea precisely for the reason that Lexie stated above. As well, I can't think of any successful singers who became successful by singing all different styles of music. There is little reward for versatility in the real world. It is impossible to build a fan base that way. By the end of American Idol, each contestant should theoretically be able to put out an album containing all the songs he or she has sung on the show and the album should hold together and demonstrate the kind of artist they want to be. (Not saying that they actually should do this but that the song selection should be consistent in that manner.) LOL - No real artist puts out an album that has a current rock song, an old Motown song, a country song, a big band song, a song from the 80's, etc.

I hate that they are always encouraging contestants to "try something different" or take a chance, but then they criticize them for stepping out of the box and not being the singer they loved in the audition rounds. Seems so unfair to me!

I think if they "tried something different" and really REALLY succeeded, they wouldn't be criticized. But attempting something different and not succeeding? Not a good thing.
