American Idol, season 10

[somerfrost]

Week eight tonight and everybody brought their "A" game. After last week, it's almost impossible to determine who may leave tomorrow:
8. Paul....I still don't get him.
7. Jacob....something missing but can't deny he's got pipes.
6. Haley....so damn sexy but not her best week.
5. Lauren....powerful voice, a contender
4. Scotty....true to his country roots.
3. Stephano....his best week in the competition, will it save him?
2. James....heavy metal, rocks the stage.
1. Casey....found himself this week, unique performer who makes jazz cool.
I suspect the bottom three will be Stephano, Paul and Haley unless Jacob alienated folks last week, they have to send a guy home soon....

Well, I can only hope that I'm this lucky with my Derby picks....nailed the bottom three and Paul was sent home. Gotta respect Paul, he took everything in stride and performed "Maggie May" one more time (JLo's request)...his best song as he does Rod very well. So the string of 5 straight girls was broken and next week will be even harder.

Down to the top 7 and again...tremendous performances, every week they hit every song out of the park! Probably will come down to what type of performer folks like:
7. Jacob...terrific voice but a couple hiccups this week, emotion overcame him.
6. Scotty...one of the favorites but nothing special this week.
5. Stephano...another good week as he is gaining confidence.
4. Lauren...love her voice, she could easily win it all.
3. Haley...continues to be super sexy with a voice to match.
2. Casey...the mad man of Idol, changed up this week and ended with a kiss for JLo...outstanding!
1. James...the best performance in Idol history, period!
Based on voting history, I suspect bottom three will be Jacob, Stephano and Haley.

Well, I hit the bottom three again, Stephano finally was sent home, he had a good run considering he was almost a weekly visitor to the bottom 2. It's becoming obvious that barring a complete meltdown by someone, the final four will be James, Casey, Lauren and Scotty....can't argue a lot but I really do like Haley over Lauren or Scotty.

I think Lauren will be in the final 2 at the end. That is all.

She very well could be....has a lot of fans obviously, James and Casey seem to be the strongest of the guys, Scotty is hard to judge.

Top six performed last night, once again they were terrific and I am finding it nearly impossible to rank them:
6. Jacob....showed more energy but missed a couple notes, big voice but lacks that special something.
5. Scotty....stepped outside his comfort zone and hit notes at the very top of his register, good job.
4. Lauren....big voice, she took chances and came through beautifully.
3. Haley....great voice with lots of character and she's an absolute doll.
2. Casey....unique performer who brings something new every week,
1. James....continues to separate himself from the others, his contest to lose.
Bottom three? Anybody's guess but I'd say Jacob, Haley and Casey.
