I can honestly say that this is the best season of Idol that I've ever watched (the last 4). There is not a single horrible contestant left at this stage of the game, no Sanjayas, no Kristi Lee Cooks, no season 10 contestants ha. That was last season, right? I mean whatever last season was, the season of shit. PS where is Lee Dewyze, anyone??? I know Crystal's been busy, since I just saw her in a commercial for One-Touch Ultra talking about managing her diabetes with BB King...
So, it's actually pretty tough to call tonight's bottom 3, let alone the person voted off! However, I think Paul, Stephano, and James could be in danger... Paul was okay, but I definitely didn't think he closed the show out with a bang - and unfortunately for him, I don't think throngs of teenage girls are going to vote for a Johnny Cash song (unless it's done by Adam Lambert and includes eyeliner and a shocked Lyle Lovett in the audience....) Stephano was average, as usual, and in no way stood out. I don't know why JLo's taken it upon herself to be his personal champion, but she needs to get over her initial impressions of him and accept he's a one trick pony. I thought he fell flat on a lot of notes, but Randy was the only voice of reason in the group, saying it was just okay. I think the last spot could be a toss-up between Jacob and James, but I just think James is a fucking douchebag. Have you seen him smirk at the camera like he's hot shit? He seems like the douchey kid from high school who sang in a band that no one followed, and now that he's on Idol he wants to remake himself as some sex god. There are a lot of girls from back in the day laughing their asses off every time he tries to pout sexy...
Since we only have 3 girls left (the first 4 people booted were all women! weird!) I think they will probably be all safe. Pia really got me up and into River Deep, Mountain High, but I have to admit, that song is so fucking amazing that it would be hard to do it poorly. But she was consistent and showed she could entertain more than standing in front of a microphone... I enjoyed Haley's performance, and I think she's really coming into herself. Note that I called her my dark horse at the beginning... :) My only fault was with Lauren Alaina because honestly, at 16 or 17, how can any dude make you feel like a natural woman??? You're still a natural child! She should have sang Britney Spears' I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman... Although I guess Miss Britney is not in the rocknroll hall of fame ha.
Not for the first time, I thought Jacob was merely okay. His voice is still the most nuanced, textured, and extreme that the show has ever hosted, but Man In The Mirror is so overdone... It's hard to put one's own spin on it... He did fine, it was still a good performance, but you know what I mean. Casey was also just okay for me, although not bad. His voice is beautiful, but he needs to change it up a bit - I liked him better when he was running all over the stage screaming I Put A Spell On You... And Scotty put on a great show, I don't know how many times I can say that I don't usually like the whole country/hillbilly thing, but he does it so well I just lap it up!
Overall, everyone was pretty decent. I'm going to go with Stephano to be voted off again, but I worry that that's because I chose him last week and I want to be vindicated... If anyone other than him or Paul gets voted off, it'll be a "shocker".
