Getting ready for tonight. So one question I have (which I don't think has been discussed much or maybe I missed it) is what did everyone think of the Lauren vs. Miley comparison? I'm hardly a huge Miley fan but I think it was pretty tacky of him to make that comment, given that they have had Miley on the show multiple times as a guest performer and even as a mentor. Oh and did Lauren sing it better than Miley? Any predictions on who is going. Could it be a sixth woman in a row?

My money is on Paul leaving tonight. I thought Lauren did a very nice job with that song last night.

Actually I thought Lauren sang it a lot better than Miley has. I think Miley's lifestyle is affecting her voice...which wasn't ever her strongest asset.

Oh my goodness, I thought Lauren sang it so much better than Miley. Here's Miley's music video. Be sure to listen to at least half way through to get to the meat of the song for a good comparison if you've never heard it before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG2zyeVRcbs

I mentioned this in another thread, yes Lauren was much better. My two teenage daughters used to love Miley and have all her music and they both said Lauren did a better job singing that song. However, ITA Jimmer that it was inapropriate for the producer to make that comment on the show expecially when Miley has been a guest and mentor. I was glad to see that Lauren was uncomfortable with the statement. It was ackward for her.

I like the mentoring that the contestants are getting from this producer, but sometimes I think he says things that kind of make me cringe...perhaps they are showing so much of him because they need a counterpoint to all the sweetness that the judges are dishing out. WillIAm has cracked me up (or however you do his name). I am liking him more each week.

LOL...I thought the same thing...is he having such fun that he decided to hang out? Apparently he and Jimmy (is that right) have a relationship, but where the heck did will.i.am come from (and thanks for the correct way to do that will thing).

will.i.am and Jimmy are like the odd couple of music. Jimmy seems more old school, while will.i.am is about creative as they come. I'd like to see them more. When they disagree, they are fun to watch. Anyone notice Ron Fair in the background on some of the recording sessions? Now, there's someone who could have replaced Simon one for one. He would not have creampuffed the critiques of the performances.

Someone could puke on stage and Steven Tyler would love it. He's a more feminine Ellen DeGeneress (only making fun of his clothes)

Steven Tyler is less annoying than Ellen. While I love Ellen, her jokes were seriously annoying! I know that will.i.am appeared as part of the No Doubt/Gwen Stefani thing. Sorta. But... he IS a hoot to watch. Jimmy is boring me. He loves everyone too. I think Ron Fair would've been an interesting choice.

But Steven Tyler is supposedly in the music biz not the comedy/talk show biz, but that seemingly doesn't figure into his "critiques".

LUV me some Steven Tyler! I like Randy alot & I really always have. I didn't think I would like J-Lo as a judge, but I do. But, it's time for them to "mean up" a little bit. Nobody is taking the "Simon" role! I'm looking forward to the show tonight. I'm wanting Jacob to go home!

I thought Haley was the best I've seen her in that performance with Casey. And now she's in the bottom 3.

Kelly Clarkson and Jason Aldean are singing their single. I'm loving it. It's very country.

James and Jacob are doing a duet...S&G's "Sound of Silence." It sounds a little odd to me, but I guess it's ok.

I'm not surprised Haley is in the bottom 3 either....though I thought she was great tonight. Oh, hating this Simon & Garfunkle arrangement!
