American Idol 2011; 6 perform

Its getting smaller and smaller, and it's harder to say goodbye to those that we like alot. But its time.
I didn't think the girls would make it this far, but Haley and Lauren are doing really good. but they still are not as good as the guys.

My Rankings

1. James - best performance of the night
   
2. Scotty
   
3. Haley
4. Casey
5. Lauren
6. Jacob - as my wife said "It looks like the Easter bunny spit up on him" I couldn't watch the rest of the performance; because I was rolling on the floor laughing; sounds like alot of other people didn't like it either.
   

Duets:

• Scotty and Lauren
• Casey and Haley
• Jacob and James - what the bleep was that?
• J-Lo's legs - W O W.

Its the end for Jacob. He really hasn't excelled in the last few weeks. I could also say the same for Casey; though he's a different genre and he appeals to a different audience.

American Idol 2011; 7 perform

Maybe it's been a long time, but the contestants might be coasting slightly; perhaps they are exhausted. except James and Casey, otherwise everyone showed cracks in the armor.
Last week Paul went home. No surprise. he didn't stand out like the others. He doesn't have a power voice.

My Rankings:

1. James - (voted for) Every time he brings it
2. Casey - (voted for) Improved since nirvana; kissed J-Lo; freaked out Steven tyler.
   
3. Haley
4. Lauren
5. Jacob - too emotional; wasn't in check
   
6. Scotty - questionable song choice, too safe
7. Stefano

I'll still dis Stefano because I'm not impressed. Still not impressed. Out of the top 7, Stefano is the least talented. Has been for awhile. He was a wildcard.

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.

American Idol 2011; 9 perform

Another great night of singing for American Idol. Last week Thia and Anima went home. but that wasn't a surprise. I think they were the bottom.

This week was Rock N Roll Hall of Fame artists. Awesome!

Rankings:

1. Haley (Voted For)
   
2. James (Voted For) - Bringing the softer side out; and for his family
   
3. Casey (Voted For)
4. Scotty - Not country but Elvis!
   
5. Pia - Rocking the house! finally uptempo beat.
   
6. Jacob
7. Lauren
   
8. Paul - I put Paul here because he rocked the house better than Stefano did.
   
9. Stefano

My bet is Stefano to go home.
