I was surprised that James was sent home, I think he has a great future as a rocker...yes, he reminds me of Steven Tyler. When Lauren was the first to make the top three my heart sank as I thought no way there would be two girls, I am really happy to be wrong and for Haley to make it also. Scottie has a huge fan base to be sure, that deep voice and "ah shucks" personality is contagious and he will be a country music star. Lauren is great, for 16 she has remarkable personality but Haley's my girl, two weeks in a row JLo and Randy slammed her first performance only to see her come back with the best of the night...this week one of the best all year! Any of the three can win, but I agree that Haley and Scottie should be in the finale...we'll see next Wednesday/Thursday.

They've been doing that slamming crap to her all year. She's tough and I hope she does win it. Either girl would be a nice winner.

Yeah, the "we're only being so critical cause we know you can do better" stuff is old...I realize Randy and JLo are well qualified to be judges but so is Steven and he found absolutely nothing wrong with her performances. At this stage negative comments from judges can easily be the difference between going on to the next round and going home...you are right, she is tough and comes back strong. Hopefully she will face a level playing field next week and move on to the finals.

Final three night and each performer did three songs...still think Randy and JLo have it in for Haley, judges picked last song for each and Scotty and Lauren were given songs right in their wheelhouse while Haley was given an almost impossible song to nail...but she did! She got the only standing ovation of the night after her first song, Randy actually calling it her best of the season and all three judges gave her round one. She did Stevie Nix in round two and was every bit as witchy as Stevie ever was. Lauren got lost in the middle of her song and missed a couple notes in round two, she rebounded with a really nice round three performance. I thought Scotty was good but not outstanding in all three rounds. I know that I've been a massive Haley fan throughout but I really feel she won the night easily...Lauren and Scotty could go either way for the second spot in the finals. At this point, it comes down to the size of each performers fan base as voters are locked in to their favorite by now so we'll see tomorrow night.

God help us with these full results AI charts.

Final three results: Lauren and Scotty in finals, Haley sent home. Lauren (aged 16) and Scotty (aged 17) youngest pair of finalists in Idol history. Both primarily country singers, Lauren from Georgia, Scotty from North Carolina (each from small towns). I still feel Haley was the best of the three but over 90 million voters say otherwise. Best wishes to both kids, one thing for sure...they are both good folk.

Scotty is so creepy. Everyone should vote for Lauren...Somer who you voting for?
