Last night I was left wondering - what did Steven Tyler say for ten seconds that AI had to bleep out? No fair.
My favorite performance of the the whole season actually happened last night - from the Idol "rejects," also known as "Paul and His Harem." This was all kinds of awesome. Paul had this big solo, because he was the only guy, and he proceeded to forget 75% of it. Perfect. I think I saw Pia trying to help him out when he forgot the words. Poor Pia. She's probably thinking, "You are kidding me, right? Now I have to help him out!" Naima's crazy jumping was not lost on me either. She's pretty amazing. This was so crazy to me, because they all seemed to be trying so hard to look like rock stars. Soooooo great.
Scotty was up first, singing a song by Leann Rimes about being on a swing with a girl. This didn't make sense to me, and rightly so, because it's from 1963 or something and originally sung by a guy. Is this cheating? (Songs from the 21st century, right?) It doesn't matter, though, because the guy who holds the mic like a flute will be safe, even with a boring song. Bluhhhhhh.
James Durbin was next. I loved how his Idol friends were kinda making fun of his scarfs he always wears in his pocket. His performance: The marching band drummers were awesome, and unexpected. James' clothes were also very interesting, and I actually liked this performance. I'd never heard the Muse song, but I thought James did a good job.
Haley was next with an Adele song. (Soooooo much better in my opinion than Gwyneth covering Adele on Glee!) I thought it was pretty good. A little boring, but pretty good. She's cute.
Jacob is know by his Idol friends as a diva. Wow. We are so surprised. Jacob sings a song about missing his dad, and he will probably get votes for that. Awe. Randy wants the crazy over-the-top Jacob back. I kinda do too.
Casey Abrams. I just love him. He picks a Maroon 5 song. He really can sing anything, and sings in tune. He gets in the faces of the judges because he feels like it, and then kisses Jennifer on the cheek. I love it. Steven goes crazy and they bleep him out, but good job Casey. Stir it up. Great singing.
Stefano was next. He was actually looking at the camera with his EYES OPEN. Good job. His eyes are actually dark and sparkly. When he dances, he moves a little, then plants his feet in a solid stance. Signature Stefano. This was probably one of his better performances, but I feel like he is in the danger zone.
Lauren was next. She had the last spot, and an opportunity to hit some really great notes and blow people away. She didn't! She has such a great voice, but we all still think she is holding back. She will be safe, I think. But, come on Lauren!
Bottom 3: Stefano, Haley, Casey or Jacob
What do you guys think?
