Top 8 perform!

The top 8 performed songs from the movies last night.

My biggest question: Why was Jlo wearing a loofah at the bottom of her dress? I'm calling it V-fluff. Steven sported tight white jeans, a blouse, as usual, and little cavebones on his necklace. It would be fun looking in his closet. And, every week Randy gets closer to prep school. It started with the v-neck sweaters, then the glasses, and now he even added a TIE! Hmmm...... going for the smart look, I guess. You, for me, for you, dawg!

Onward. Jlo is now "the most beautiful woman in the world." She IS extremely beautiful, so I'm glad we have that settled. We can stop looking until next year for someone prettier. So, sit back and relax!

Paul starts out with another flower suit (I liked it!) and sang Old Time Rock and Roll. It's the dreaded first spot. He was ridiculous and not too bad. He distracted us with Sax girl and the tambourine, and only got positive comments. Then Ryan HAD to add the sleaze with, "If you liked Sax with Paul," vote ....... Ewe.

Next up was Lauren, singing a Mylie Cyrus song. Okay, I am really enjoying Will i. am.'s comments...... but, not really sure why he is still here. I am liking it, though!

Lauren's performance was kinda boring, though. I realize she was trying to channel Pia, but it was kinda dull. She moved Steven beyond tears, though. (What?)

Next, Stefano, looking a little defeated in the taping segment, was up to sing a Boys to Men song, "End of the Road." (Will this be prophetic?) The best thing about this was HIS DAD! His dad looked so proud. Loved that. It was pretty good, and I loved the little brass section on stage. We will see if he has enough love from voters to stay.

Scotty was up next with - what? Another country song? No way! The background were a little loud. He sounded sweet and okay. His last notes were a little wierd - maybe strained. I figured out that he looks like a bobblehead to me when he sings. Safe, none the less. And, he actually seems like a nice guy in his off-stage interview. Geez. (Don't get me wrong, I'm not crazy about him, but he's growing on me.)

Casey was next. I loved his song. Loved the bass, again. "Bassy Casey." He was really good. I hope he stays.

Basically so many of the singers last night gave Jimmy Iovine the finger and didn't take his suggestions, instead doing whatever the hell they wanted to. (Scotty, Casey, James.) I loved this part of the show.

Haley. She's so cute. Great hair. Great outfit. Steven made some comment about looking up old addresses........ translation - I want to do you. Niiiiiiiiice boots, too. She did well, was smiley and true to herself. However, she is the only one the judges actually didn't put lots of love all over....... and basically thought it was the wrong song choice. We will see.

What? Is that Elvira in the audience. This show is just wierder and wierder all the time. I love it.

Jacob actually listens to Jimmy and changes his song to Bridge Over Troubled Water. He sounded great with the background singers, was actually controlled, and might have saved himself this week by being a little more humble. Nice.

James, Heavy Metal, Durbin was next. Not bad. His voice sounded great. Sounding a little too cocky with Jimmy in the pre-singing video. It was actually quite good, though. Very entertaining and the singing was good. Zakk Wylde's hair was awesome, too. I think Zakk is safe. I mean, James.

What do you guys think?

Bottom: Haley, Paul, Stefano, Casey.

Top: Casey, Jacob, James, Lauren, Scotty.

Notice Casey is in both? ......... sigh. I'm a little worried for him.
