American Idol 2011; 8 perform

I was on vacation, so I didn't get a chance to post a blog. But I'm surprised that Pia went home. The general consensus is that she didn't connect with the fans, therefore she didn't win any votes. I can see that. But she's significantly more talented than the other 2 girls and some of the guys.

After the performances of the night, here's how I ranked them:

1. James - Told Jimmy The Mentor, I'm doing it my way.
   
2. Casey - amazing talent. also told Jimmy I'm doing it my way.
   
3. Scotty
   
4. Haley
   
5. Jacob
   
6. Lauren
   
7. Paul
   
8. Stefano - is this the end?

I know who left so I won't predict. But it was not a shocker.
