Haley was painful, as always. It's obvious the show knew she has been lacking, and with the last slot usually reserved for a powerful person, they gave her the nightcap, and had the judges gaga over her to pump her some votes.

Scott-D
Naima-D
Stefano-F
Thia-C
Casey-C
Paul-C
Jacob-B (I thought his worst performance since top 13 started)
Pia-A
James-A (Pia and James should be the finalists, with Jacob 3rd)
Lauren-B
Hailey-F (Her and Stefano, absolute butchering.)

I actually thought Hailey was pretty good, particularly when she got to the chorus. Steven Tyler was right, she sings sexy. There will be two voted off, Naima and Stefano should go IMO. Thia should also be on the chopping block. I am guessing she will be staring in High School Muscial 5 or whatever in the next year or so.

James is still my favorite with Pia a distant second.

agreed with the bottom 2 and 3 you mention. I could see Haley really making a run at the top 5ish, she has it all, just needs to keep improving.

Disagree with the above...a lot of good performances. I liked the reggae take by Naima, and thought Casey was pretty good. Not liking Thia or Paul...and don't see what was so great with Lauren Alaina's performance. Jacob can sing....but I actually expected better. Haley hits a home run ...but is it enough and does she have enough support to survive TWO cuts tomorrow?

Bottom three tomorrow
Stephano
Haley...just because she always there
Thia.
>>>My bottom three
Thia
Paul
Stephano



Grades

Scotty...B...solid
Naima ...B...I liked the reggae, but will it sell well with the rest of America.
Paul C+...just don't get why he's so great.
Stephano...C+...well, he tries hard, and holds the key to JLo's heart.
James Durbin... B ...great performance, vocals lacking
Lauren... C...didn't do anything for me ...
Casey...B...showcased his 'sensitive' side
Thia... C...no excitment at all...agree she should be singing Disney.
Jacob...B...not his best performance and I expected better.
Pia...A-...hits all the notes, but getting kind of boring. She better move that sweet ass next week.
Haley...A- Finally gets it right.

Naima .. Sorry one reggae per season is to much ... two reggae and you're gone
Paul ... Take away the suit, you have a smile take away the smile you got nothing.. one Rod Stewart per life time is a good thing.
Thia ... If you stay this week you'll be gone next week... apply at Broadway or Disney Cruise Line

I think the 2 that go are from Maima, Paul, Thia, or Stefano.

Thought James was awesome again.

Hailey is probably my favorite girl left in the competition. Sure Pia is fun to look at, but it is the same old thing every week.

I thought Paul did a good job last night, again an artist who found their niche in the musical selection. I do wonder how he is still around, but some one must like him a lot.

I hope Naima and Casey exit tonight. I am tired of them already.

I cant believe some of you liked Scotty's performance. This kid is a ONE trick pony. He is a karaoke country singer.

Naima should have been gone weeks ago. Id also eliminate Paul or Stefano.

The whole Casey fiasco from last week has me hoping he goes soon too.
Jacob should also get the boot by next week.

How the hell did Casey get Haley? I read that they have been dating for awhile now. I will give him credit for over achieving there.

Pia is a one trick pony as well, if that's the way you want to look at it. I fully expect Scotty to do a Dr. Dre song next week...lol. Why would you go against what you're good at? That line of thinking doesn't make sense at all.

We shall see. Pia can, and will, step out of her ballad box and do something more catchy. They were required to sing Elton John songs. How exactly was she going to break out doing an Elton John song? They are all ballads. Whereas Scotty found the one song in 500 Elton John ever sang that was country.

I thought Scotty did pretty well the last two weeks, when you consider the themes were Elton John and Motown. The kid has a country career locked down already...not bad for 17 years old. Besides the kid's a baseball player, and a pretty good one at that. You gotta love that.....it's not that he's a lawn fairie or anything like that.

Yea, I like Scotty, maybe it's because I'm a country boy as well.

Naima was horrible....I hate when someone tries to fake the accent to sing reggae. That was the worst performance I have saw in AI history.

I wish Simon was still there so he could have ripped her a new one......"absolute rubbish!"

I'm fine with the 2 who were cut. I haven't cared for Naima at all. I didn't mind Thia but I am ok with her getting the boot.

I kinda like Naima..and Thia not at all. sooner or later they both were going to go. Probably Paul, Haley, or Stephano next.

Thia was maybe the best straight up singer behind Pia, but she was just too boring.

I was happy with both eliminations last night. I think somewhere Paul has some underground fan club. They are probably fans of the band Phish, but they seem to keep voting for him. Interestingly enough, after a few straight weeks in the bottom three, Haley didn't make it in that club last night. Did her performance this week raise her up a few notches in the eyes of the voters?
