LOL Maris!!

I don't see Paul as much of a serious singer, either. He just doesn't have the power behind his Fake Stewart voice.

Lazy, anyone can front their own band, and record a disc. Doesn't mean much unless you've got a contract (which he doesn't) and/or an audience (which he barely does).

Wierd Al Yankovic had a lot of hits and Paul reminds me of him.

I still don't feel the love for Pia or Casey. I really like Paul's voice but he sings the wrong songs..Stefano is soo bad. Where is Simon? The judges just praise everyone and no criticism from them. No structured criticism on their part. Still like James, wish Jacob would do better, I'm indifferent to Scotty, as well as Lauren & Haley.

A bit of a rant because I really want to like Haley. I think she has potential but something is always off with her. I know this has nothing to do with her singing but why do they put so much lipstick on her when she performs? She looks great in her interviews and practice sessions but not performing. Plus she doesn't know how to wear it. I keep expecting her to get it all over the place again.

As well, maybe I'm mistaken but she just seemed too enthused (in the wrong way) and almost smiling while singing "take a piece of my heart". I thought she understood what that song is about. It was a good song for her and she sang it well but I found all of the above too distracting to enjoy it.

All I've seen so far is Haley and Jacob. I thought that Jacob sang great but I could have done without the extended angst over the song selection.

I agree with Paul, Stefano and Jacob being bottonm 3. Paul's song was much larger than his voice could handle. He has the performance factor down but not the voice. I would much rather Scotty to sing that song.

Watching right now and wondering if the judges loved them all (again) tonight. Jeez! I, personally, did not think much of James (still seeing him as an Adam Lambert wannabe). Haven't heard Paul (I like him but I think his voice is kind of weak). Haven't heard Stefano either but I have only thought he was good the week he got in on the wild card vote.

The judges made it through an entire show without uttering one critical remark. The are driving me crazy.

Jimmer, I hadn't thought about the excessive lipstick but it was.. and I also thought she seemed to be smiling at odd times as well.

To me, Paul sounds more like Macy Gray than Rod Stewart, and he reminds me of Kenny Logins.

It was another gotta close my eyes night w/Jacob...I just can't watch the guy w/o cringing.

Time to go Stefano.

Pia/Lauren..what's with the wardrobe? Dang.

Hit of the night? Hmm, probably James cuz he connected with it and nailed the important notes.

I loved James...I just don't get the Pia love, though. She can sing, no question, but she does absolutely nothing for me and I really didn't like her performance at all last night. We were cringing at our house, and then...the judges loved it. I must be missing something...

I 100% agree with you on both counts, Carmenv. Just do not get the Pia love. She bores the heck out of me and her high notes are screechy. Sounds like she's forcing them out and straining her voice.

Do love James and loved that he sang a sweet song last night with power behind it. Whoever said he sounds like Axel Rose, you're right! I was trying to think who he reminds me of and he does sound like Axel. He also reminds me of Adam Lambert, in that he has a powerful voice with a wide range and puts a lot of emotion and feeling into his songs. I wouldn't call him a "wannabe." I don't think he wants to be Adam. He's just being himself. Love him.

Was a little disappointed in Lauren last night. What the heck was she wearing??? Gwen didn't do her any favors with those awful shorts. They made her butt look big and were too tight, so they were riding up in between her legs. Her hair looked good, though. Such a pretty girl! She so reminds me of Tammy Fay Baker (pretty smile, beautiful face) without the excessive mascara.

Jimmer, I went back and rewatched Haley's performance. I didn't see her smiling. IMO she has the same problem(if you want to call it that) as Miley Cyrus. Her teeth are almost too big for her mouth so she looks like she is smiling all the time.
I thought she did a great job feeling the anger of the lyrics.

Stefano, Paul, and Jacob... ugh. None of the three did anything for me and I totally can't understand the judges' fawning over any of them. Especially Stefano. I liked Paul initially, but I'm now completely bored with his voice.

Haley and Pia... nothing going on there either. Haley really needs to stop smiling in the middle of songs where it's not appropriate. She pretty much ruined the Janis song for me, even though I enjoyed her growl. Pia needs to learn how perform. The girl can sing but... yuck. Also that last long note? Really? EVERY SONG???

Scott sounded great doing Elvis. Sorry though, I still see him as a one noter... he can do Elvis or country. I do NOT see him winning.

Love James and loved his performance.

Casey was all right as was Lauren.

So I predict bottom 3 as Jacob, Stefano, and Paul, but possibly also Haley.

Oh, and Gwen Stefani totally fell off a pedestal... her styling of the girls was just wrong. Lauren is too big in the middle for those shorts, Pia looked like crap in the jumpsuit, and Haley looked really large. None of the girls are huge, but their outfits made them look like hippos.

Pia can sing BUT, she's singing a Tina song! You have to move or make it at least look like you can move musically to the music! She moved a bit in the beginning to the music, then as she began to walk around the stage (some people called it strutting, but I didn't see that), it felt like.... stand here, belt out this piece, walk to there sing this piece of the song...etc... oh and sing a high note at the end. It looked too formula to me.

Jacob is also on the 'formula' train. I would have liked him to sing the first song more than the MJ song.

I'll agree that Casey is not the best singer in the world, but he's interesting to me. The song was perfect for him, yet a really interpretation of a good song. Love CCR.

Paul, Stephano... ugh.

I didn't see the rest of the singers, although I heard a funny comment about Scotty today on the radio... They said he was wearing a Canadian tuxedo for his performance last night. Now, I have to go to Youtube to check it out.

I wonder if these judges made a pact not to criticize any of the contestants throughout the whole season. I could not believe how they fawned over each and every contestant. I don't understand how they could tell all of them how great they were. I miss Simon's honesty. It might have appeared cruel to some, but damn, he was honest with these kids.

My pick for bottom 3 -- Paul, Stefano and Haley or Pia.

I really and truly don't understand the judges and judging this season. I said it last week too... everything is beautiful and awesome and I'm just NOT seeing it. I can't believe that every single singer is that much better in person. I will say, though, that I'm royally bored with both Jennifer and Steven (much as I love HIM!). Neither one is really judging. And Jennifer with her fawning all over Stefano is really embarrassing. Seeing as how he's the bottom 3 for almost all of us here, all I can say is what the heck is she drinking???

When Jacob said if he ended up in bottom three it wouldn't be because he sang bad or did something wrong, but because people didn't want to look in the mirror (not exact quote, but close), it would make me not want to vote for him at all...if I voted.

Jennifer is starting to remind me of Paula: "You didn't really sing that well, but you sure are pretty!"

DK, that's the way I felt too! I felt like Jacob was criticizing people for not voting for him because of his great song pick! What? No! People will vote for you because they like you and your performance, not what your song's about. That was kind of offensive!

I didn't think that was a good thing for Jacob to say. He seems young, sincere and was speaking his feelings but I cringed a bit when I heard it.

Paul's smiling would be out of place had he sung it like Johnny Cash. However because it was uptempo it seemed all right to me. Now you can say it shouldn't be uptempo,but that's a whole other can of worms. So there!
