American Idol - Season 10

[ASTalumna06]

First of all, I LOVED the group performances last night. I think they should do those before the voting, as well. They’re a lot of fun, and I think half of the contestants sounded better than they did the night before.

Oh, and the 4 guys and their little band they have going on… I’d probably go see them in concert if they toured. I love them! They’re all so different, but I think it definitely works.

I’m kind of sad that Paul went home. To be honest, I think it’s the flowery jackets that did him in. No one wants to see that week after week after week. I think the only time it was probably appropriate was during the Elton John week.

Stefano needs to go home. I don’t think he has that great of a voice, and nothing makes him stand out. My mom also said that it was his best performance to date, and that he sounded really good, but I just didn’t see it. He’s boring.

I'm tired of Scotty and Jacob although I think they are extremely talented in their genres.

Scotty is naturally talented. Simple as that. You just don’t come across a voice like that every day. I have no doubt that he’ll have a looooong country singing career, but there’s no way he’ll win. He needs to go soon.

I’m inclined to say the same for Jacob (minus the country thing, of course). I could see him making it in the business, but he won’t have any songs that will make it to #1 on the Billboard charts. He’d make an amazing gospel singer.

And I agree that he oversings nearly every song. As Randy said a couple weeks ago, he needs to have one “moment” during a song. He tries to have 50.

I'm over Casey. I think he has done nothing but do downhill since the judges saved him.

I did enjoy his performance from the other night. It was different, and I always like when people step out of the box to try and make the show more interesting. However, I think that he lost me during the first few weeks of the live show. I almost blame the judges. Someone should have said to him, “Where the hell is the old Casey?” a lot sooner, and maybe he wouldn’t have veered so far from what got him on the show. Now that he’s slowly getting back to being the old Casey, it’s basically too little, too late.

Haley has come out of NOWHERE and is suddenly good. Seriously, what’s gotten into her? She sounded amazing during her duet last night with Casey. She won’t win the whole thing, but it’s good to see that not all the girls are going home sooner rather than later!

Lauren, like Pia, makes singing seem effortless. She’s really good. But I think she’s still a little nervous on stage. And if she isn’t, that’s how she’s coming off, in my opinion. People like James and Jacob put themselves out there each week, and lose themselves in a song, but I haven’t gotten that from her yet. I think she needs to step up her game a bit in that department.
