Say what you want (odd?) the Italian singers, Il Lovo, were amazing. At least they know how to sing and present a song! I thoroughly enjoyed them, despite the "dated" song. I'd buy their stuff.

Again, at least Haley is an exciting entertainer and seems to know who she is as a singer. Scotty seems like he's just tried to emulate Elvin his entire life. And Lauren, what can I say? I don't think she knows what kind of singer she is yet.

The finale is definitely not a priority to me.

Yay!!!! I'm very happy with the outcome. I'm not from the South, and I love both Scotty and Lauren! Also loved Il Volo. Those boys were incredible and so cute! Loved them!

I was in tears during Lauren's home visit. I think they saved it for last since it was so emotional. I'm glad they didn't have to break her heart and send her home.

Haley may have been a good singer, but I just could never warm up to her. Just not my cup of tea. And James will be back for the finale. Yay!!! I can go to bed happy!

Well if Scotty wins, it will the the 4th white guy with a guitar in a row to win AI. And not one of them have done anything after the win. I doubt Scotty will either.

Agree with this statement: "OK...........I'm pissed off! Let's just re-name this show: "Teenager Country Idol".

My wife and I both said this is Jr Idol. Sweet kids but when this first began with Kelly Clarkson I guess I thought it was about adults who had just about given up hope they'd make it or were still trying and just not getting the connections they needed. It seems odd now to hear young kids say they've always wanted to be The American Idol like winning a pageant or title.

This final two ranks up there with Sparks and Lewis. Thought Melinda Doolittle got royally hosed that year. Was hoping maybe Haley could spice the finals up a bit. Oh well on to X Factor.

Just how many country sinqers have even made it to the finals? Why would anyone begrudge country singers a chance to win when it is obvious that country music is very popular in this U S?
I guess the years pop singers won we should have renamed the show America,s Pop Idol. I love that two country singers have gotten this far. And if they are America,s choice, why should we care if they are teenagers?

Wow, there must have been lots of country fans voting to bring in two of three.. but I think Lauren was given songs that would be hard to resist AND she hit them out of the park..

Haley's rendition of Rhiannon was pretty underwhelming.

But I'm surprised. Haley does know how to perform, though she's a bit on the too practiced and manic side for me.

I didn't vote.. watched too late and not sure I'd have voted anyway. My heart left with James last week.

I liked Haley in the beginning, but like someone said above, I've seen her at least 2 times with snarky smiles when people have gone home. That changed it for me, to me her attitude isn't anger, it seems like arrogance. IMHO.

Maris: "so now we have some italian singing group, great voices but I swear I expect to see Doris Day float by in a Gondola at any moment with Rock Hudson chasing her."

I agree that it was definitely one of the best exit performances they have ever had on AI - just classy as all get out.

Haley is so confident, so gutsy - that's what it takes to make it. AND she always listened to the pros, always took their advice. She said she loves theater and it always shows in her performances. Pia needed to learn some of Haley's moves.

Anyway - she smiles, she sings, she listens - she takes chances. I will miss seeing her!

That was a great exit performance. That's what I came to like about Haley. She is talented, she performs, she takes chances, she has fun doing it and she is entertaining. She may have a bit of an ego (a lot of people who perform like that do) but it's also evident that she appreciated and made the most of her experience. And I thought she was getting better and better and that's what AI is all about.

Ybird - totally agree - she was not afraid to step out of the safe zone and her performances were always difficult songs. Loved her classy exit which ended singing with her parents. Their talent and love for old R&R, blues & jazz obviously were passed down to her.

JLo picked Scotty to win before this competition even started.

So glad Haley is gone. She had turned that last show into my parents have a band and I sing in it show. I never liked her, but that sealed it for me.

Hoping for Lauren to win. Scotty just doesn't have it, but all those little girls go crazy for him, don't know why. Let's "close those doors" on Scotty.

I actually loved Haley bringing her dad on-stage to play for her while she sang. I thought that was beyond cool and very sweet, even though I'm not a Haley fan. Speaking as someone whose dad has been gone over 20 years, that just touched my heart that she was able to do that.

I think those that say Scotty won't do anything are mistaken. I think he's going to be huge in Nashville. Whether you like him or not, he's got so much talent.

DH has been saying that this year's AI has been the best one since Adam Lambert. A lot of talent this year. We've thoroughly enjoyed the season and will enjoy the finale. I see no reason we shouldn't have a Country Idol. Country music has its roots in America. You can't get much more American and apple pie than country, whether you like it or not (DH hates it, but likes Scotty).

Just my two cents: I've seen a couple of people talk about the "smiles" that Haley has made when someone has left. Things such as that I tend to not pay attention to, because no one knows the context. Maybe someone said something to her that made her smile, maybe someone in the audience said something to her, maybe she was trying not to cry...who knows, because none of us know what was happening to her at that moment.

I'm someone who doesn't let my emotion show for the world to see. At my own mother's funeral, my Dad said something to me that made me laugh out loud in the middle of it. I'm sure there were people there who didn't know me that thought I was a cold hearted *****.

For those who are Lauren and Scotty fans, I hope they do a great job next week.

Didn't watch, don't plan to watch any more. Just want to say... it's not the country thing that pisses me off about this finale. It's the fact that this is NOT "American Idol" but rather "American TEEN Idol."

Both of the two in the finale are too young. They are boring to watch perform, they don't do "emotion" right (can Scott even do it at all?). And both are too "polished" for their ages. Lauren literally looks like a country Barbie Doll at times.

I'm so glad I got a bunch of hours back.

If this show continues with 15 year olds next season, I'll be Costacat... OUT!

I think this year's final 2 says alot about the influence Simon had on the show every year. Every year Simon would push the one he wanted to the finale and influence the voting by his biased opinion. I finally see a finale the voters get, it may not be the best choice, but it's their choice and not Simons.
