American Idol

[Dpantherman]

Lauren was good, id give her solid 8

[Mr. Scot]

Definitely liked Lauren.

[Dpantherman]

Jacob is sweeter than a box of Krispy Kreme (i dont judge...), but he can SANG

[Mr. Scot]

Great voice, but not sure a rock power ballad is his best vehicle.

Overall not a great episode for me.

[Dpantherman]

Don't care for that song choice. I already know he can sing, idk. Tonight as a whole sucked for me.

[Mr. Scot]

Song choice was a problem for the vast majority of contestants tonight. Some bad, some awful. Only a few that I thought really worked (Scotty, Pia, Lauren).

Biggest offender was probably Casey. Yeah, it was original, but it didn't sound so great.

[Dpantherman]

Mr. Scot, rank them for tonight

[Dpantherman]

Steven Tyler is a damned liar

[Mr. Scot]

Mr. Scot, rank them for tonight

I don't generally rank top to bottom, but off the top of my head, James, Scotty, Lauren Jacob and Pia did good, even with some poor song choices.

I didn't find any of the others especially memorable.

Worst is probably between Casey and Paul, but worst performance doesn't always equal elimination.

[Dpantherman]

i can agree with that, didn't care too much for Pia though

I had to catch them on youtube, so I haven't heard what the judges had to say.

James - Love him! I don't care what he sings.

Scotty _ Love him but not as much as James.

Pia - Boring as usual

Naimie or whatever her name is - eh, couldn't watch it all before finding someone else.

Casey or the dude with the beard - WTF was that? I couldn't even watch all of it.

Lauren - Liked.

Jacob - Didn't watch the entire performance.

Paul - I actually like watching him perform/dance/have fits. He makes me lol.

Everyone else that I've forgotten. Well, I've forgotten them, so that should tell you something.

Tell me what the judges had to say, please!

Pia is in a vocal class on her own in this group. Boring or not...she's got skill.

Lauren did great I think as well.

[Zaximus]

Jacob is still the best singer, by far right now, it kind of reminds of when Adam Lambert dominated each week and was at the end of the show. I don't think he'll win, but I honestly think he's the best singer.

Casey shouldn't have picked Nirvana, any song, but that's probably the WORST song to sing of Nirvana. Come as You or something like that would have been better. People that like Nirvana or know of Nirvana can excuse that cause even the original performance wasn't about good singing, but I think America may put him in the bottom after that.

Scotty was good, not as good as in the past, but he's solid. He has the perfect country voice, whenever (if) he gets voted off he'll have a record deal in 10 minutes, trust me. I really want him to sing some Jamey Johnson this season though, maybe In Color or something.

Pia is boring to me. I know she can sing, but she's really boring, and we've all seen her type tons of times, zzz.

Thia is boring. She's a great singer, but very boring, and her songs are always ballads and have hardly any band influence, I think she'll be gone soon.

Lauren picked a good song (although this would have been a better song for the hot chick) and did pretty well. I could definitely tell she was sick and probably would have done even better.

Paul was terrible, and he knew it, it just didn't work out. Not sure how he didn't know that going in, or if he got off track or what, not sure. He'll get voted in for things other than his voice probably. He's not bad, he's actually very good, but it's hard for him to do cover songs. He needs to sing his own songs, etc, honestly.

Stefano did very well, IMO. He nailed that song. I don't really like that genre of music but I couldn't deny he did great with it.

Karen is terrible, I wish she'd get voted off. She's boring and we've seen that kind of singer before also. The whole "spanish in the middle of the song" kind of annoys me too, like it's being shoved down our throat. I just think she's boring and bad though.

Naima was pretty bad, I think she's gone soon. Her best songs in the past were older more blues type songs.

James was OK, but you could tell he had some mess ups. Hope he picks a better song next week, but he was "good".

[sunbunny]

My only problem with Jacob is that he over-sings. It annoys me.
