I think of the people left:

-James is the worst singer. And no, not because of his style. He just has no control, and to me you can always tell someone who can sing with the softer stuff (which is the difference between he and the guy they compare him too all the time... Adam Lambert), and I thought he was pretty terrible last week and should have went home. But when he does up tempo stuff he's always entertaining and good, and obviously his range is out of control.

James was acutally very good on "While My Guitar Weeps" last week.

quote:

-Jacob is easily the most talented vocalist left, but he's hot and cold. When he's right... he's soooo right. But when he's off... it's ugly.

Yeah, talented if he were a large black woman. I hate how dramatic this "guy" is.
quote:

-Casey is the most talented person on the show.. probably ever. But he isn't really mainstream, so I don't expect him to be that popular.

Agree
quote:

-Scotty is Scotty... he's 5 minutes away from country fame, whether I like him or not.

Very true. I don't like country music at all but this kid will be a millionaire by next year. He's gotta stop with the stupid looks though.

quote:

-Lauren has a lot of talent she doesn't know how to use. She's gotten rather bland and I'm surprised people here were enamored with her singing a lame Disney song last night. That being said, it was a good choice for her for vote getting, but she hasn't shown her ability to really sing in weeks...

I think she's the first one on the radio.

quote:

-I like Paul stylistically, but hate how they try to make every song quirky and odd because of his voice. Last night was his best in a long time, IMO. You don't need to change songs up for him because his voice already brings a unique character to everything.

He may be uniqe but his fricking voice is terrible. I actually can't stand anything about him.
quote:

-Stefano has always had sick vocal talent, but since the top 12 it doesn't seem like he could get out of his own head... until last night. Last night it felt like he really just let go and laid it all out there and it showed in both the crowd and judges response. He slayed a song that stylistically fits him to the T. Has he turned the corner or will he go back to being timid again? He's a threat to win if he's got confidence.

This kid is so forgettable it's not funny.

quote:

-Haley has my favorite voice of those remaining, but her performance this week may send her home. The thing is, it wasn't bad, but it just didn't do anything for her. Her home is that sorta lezzie rock land where she can show the gravel in her voice.


The "gravel" in her voice is what annoys the shite out of me. She's trying too hard to put that in every word she says. That's a true sign that someone is just an average singer.

She does it because the judges told her that was what they liked.

Ick. Not to me.

See I don't feel like she pushes it that much... like that Allison chick a couple years ago.

Jacob seems like he's going to cry during every song and makes me think i'm in church.


because he is a gospel singer, that's where he belongs. but if he did gospel on the show he wouldn't get the votes imo.

paul & hailey both have very unique voices but they don't do a good job picking songs to showcase them. they sound forced quite often.

casey is a musician where everyone else are artists. that being said, i doubt he wins.

i never liked thia, way too boring.

Well only one person in the top 10 has sung a song that if I was walking Bourbon St./Beale St. whatever street and heard that person singing, I would actually cross the street to check it out and that was Haley singing Benny and the Jets.

Now, I will say that if I had to choose a church to attend it would only be one where Jacob Lusk was singing because he is SANGIN'FOR HIS LIFE every single time.

I wasn't really a big fan of Adam lambert while he was on the show, but I sure did buy his "What do you want from me" song. That was a good song without too much screeching, so I can sit here and say I don't like tourette's boy that much, but honestly, if he toned it down I might like him better.

Pia and Thia are gone because their personalities suck. Same think will happen to Stefano, no matter how hot me and the 13 yr old girls think he is, he is not gonna win. Because males vote in this thing too and I don't think many guys like him.

The male demo like Casey and the older female demo like Casey but let's face it, you gotta win those teeny bopper votes too and keepin' it real like last night, ain't gonna cut it.

I love Paul, but his quirkiness might get him in trouble.

Scotty, like Jimmy and Will.i.am said, is a one trick pony but it's a damn good trick. I will be shocked if he doesn't get a record deal. Teeny boppers and rednecks LOVE him.

Lauren is hands down the most marketable across both Top 40, Country and Adult Comtemporary demo.

How great does Lauren look! She's losing weight for sure. They should have let her sing this song by herself. Scotty makes my husband and I laugh, every time he opens his mouth.

I noticed that about Haley last night too.

Lauren is young, but has lots of potential to be an OT 9.
