James - His first song, don't even know what it's called and I already forgot it. Guess that means it's FORGETTABLE! I just wasn't blown away, this always happens though when I don't really know the song.
Jacob - Ok, singing Jordan Sparks + Chris Brown?? WHAT! He was yelling at the highest octave the whole time! It was terrible, and I totally agree with Randy, there's just no niche for him.
Lauren - Fly on the Floor, Carrie Underwood... seriously never heard this song either. If you're going to go big like Carrie Underwood, why not pick one that people at home can really get into...I'm so glad she didn't grab a random dude to come on stage with her. She sounded very good with this song, looks like she's "in it to win it" haha stupid Randy.
Scotty - "Gone" by Montgomery Gentry. oh my. I really hate when he prances around. Is it sad that I miss when he used to sing "baby lock them doors and turn the lights down low..." I just thought it was too crazy of a performance, I'm one who really listens to the singing part of it. SING Scotty SING. Judges disagree with me, but bleh
Haley - the unleased "You and I" Lady GaGa. I actually have seen this performance on You Tube, so a little familiar with the song. Haley is growing on me alot... I think it's hilarious since all I did was rag on her for weeks. She's really her own gal, sings her songs well and could care less about what people think, I like that about her. I agree with Jennifer, probably not the best song choice... but oh well, she def not worse that Jacob!
round 2 - old school song
James - I think I will REALLY love this song... I LOVE when he's sentimental...let's see. He's such a special guy, I loved this performance. I preferred stripped down James. At least he did a little something for everyone tonight!
Jacob - "Love Hurts." This is SUCH a better choice for Jacob. I think he just needs to bite the bullet and sing ballad types all the time. He really shines on this. Couple notes were very scary, but he recovered.
Lauren - "Unchained Melody", her parent's song. So sweet! SUCH a big song, wow. She didn't do it how I thought she should. The part where she sings "I need your love, i NEEED your love". That should have been WAY bigger. She toned it down and I didn't like that part. Good runs here and there, she pretty much was flawless on the notes, over all good job, but really held big parts back.
Scotty - "Always on my Mind" ... OMG so much better, maybe it's just me. I just really appreciate the singing and not the theatrics of it all...probably why I never go to concerts, too far away, too much spectical. I loved this performance from Scotty. I can't wait for him to be on Y100.3 here in Houston! Maybe he'll performe at a BBQ Cook-Off tent (sans dancing around of course) hehe
Haley - "House of the Rising Sun." So much soul in this song. I actually liked this performance alot. I don't have much critique! Really well done!! Wow, standing ovation from judges! Good sign.
Prediction: Jacob will go home. The bottom 3 guessing is kinda obsolete, they are all so good. It's really tough. I'll say Jacob, Lauren and Scotty just for fun. But Jacob is probably out.

Good review. I actually watched it last night because I couldn't find anything else. I agree Jacob will probably go. I am not a fan of James however. I liked Lauren and Scotty best, but then again I am biased to country.
Can't wait for this weeks! I LOVE your commentary <3 It's so dead on. And I agree, Haley is growing on me too.
