Casey seems to run hot 'n cold. I like him, but liked him before I think the pressure of competition got to him. At this point, I really only see James as ever being successful, with or without the Idol title. And again, I'm amazed at all he's overcome to become as polished a performer as he is. Full of joy and spirit... perfect terms to describe him. His absolutely JOY at performing with Zakk Wilde the other night was infectious!! I do want to like Haley. I really do. But she does pick wrong songs, performs them awkwardly, and does the growl at inopportune moments. If I didn't know better, I'd think SHE was the youngest one there. So I still rank James at the top, and pretty much else everyone below him. I'd say it's really: James HaleyLaurenScottyCasey JacobStefano

When he's happy, I'm happy. And when he gets stressed out, I get stressed out. I was nervousin' when he gave Jimmy I. some lip during the mentor session. I liked Casey during the audition and Hollywood Week process, but I could care less if he goes home next week.

I like Casey more than Jacob or Stefano, though, Lex, hon. So I hope he lasts longer 'n them! And yeah, James and his lippin' to Jimmy was an "OMG" moment! Glad he stuck to his guns cuz honestly, that was a killer performance. I'm not a major heavy metal fan, but can appreciate it when done well. That was done well.

I think James gets a great joy out of performing, and probably more than anyone else seems to be making the most out of his American Idol experience...I don't know if it is because of his Aspberger's or what...but he seems to be really enjoying it with an almost childlike glee and emotion (and I'm not saying or inferring that he is in any way emotionally immature)...what I mean is that he seems to express his emotions openly and outwardly and it makes watching him fun...or it can break your heart. And if anyone was mean or bullied him in his youth (which I suspect probably happened more often than not...a double whammy of Aspbergers and Tourette's...YIKES!), they can just kiss his big ole' MOHAWK!

I almost wonder if James and Casey's standing up to Jimmy was just a set-up. Frankly neither one of them seem to be the kind to disagree with the experts.

Roxi, I'd say if anyone was mean, they can kiss his TAIL! ;)

SG, I actually do think both Casey and James would or could stand up to Jimmy. They know was AI is all about. They know that Randy always says to be "be true to you." And I think they both know that when someone is shoved into some mold and/or genre that doesn't fit, it's usually the end of them.

favorites from best to worst: 1. Casey..I would buy his cd's 2. James..I would pay money to attend his concerts. 3. Scotty..his voice is amazing 4. Lauren..when she and Scotty sing together, it's perfect. 5. Stefano..good voice but not exciting, in my opinion. Appears to be truly humble, felt very sorry for him when Pia was voted out and he received boos. 6. Jacob..not an Idol but could sing gospel backups. 7. Haley..dislike her screaming and growling and attitude and posturing, like "I am so hot." Not name calling, just my opinion.
