And I'm certain my supposed "original" list (since you didn't bother to link to the post where that list came from) was based on the audition performances the producers had bothered to show us to that point, as opposed to seeing them in actual competition mode singing "full" songs week after week.

Naima sank like a stone on my list almost immediately once that part of the show started. So you can hardly admonish me with your "not so fast" nonsense based on that list.

Are you saying this is not your list?

Come on Jill be honest you know this was your list.

Here is your precious link to show Haley was NOT on your list and not one of your favs since the start like you said. I bothered to make sure the link is here so even you will know who you pick and WHO YOU DID not and try to lay claim as you the one who picked Haley from the start when it is clear from your list and link she was not even in your top 13.

American Idol 2011

This is suppose to be all in fun but goodness to come back and pretend like your list did not exist and that I just made it up out of the blue is borderline dishonest.

Haley was the pick of Vote For the Worst but I'm not sure how much pull they have. It's my opinion that she got a lot of sympathy votes from James fans and everyone thought he would be safe.

I've been saying the show is fixed for weeks/months. Casey should never have gone home before Jacob or Haley. And he was certainly not my favorite. I think he was great and more talented than them, but he should still be standing. I have seen bits and pieces of other seasons too. And seriously, you are going to try and say it wasn't fixed last year when Adam Lambert was sent packing and whats his name won? Thats funny. I'm not even a fan of his but he should have won that hands down. He is way more talented than the other guy.

It is obvious from so many angles the show is not based on fan voting. Anyone can see that.

TOTAL, ABSOLUTE SHOCK to see James leave last night! He's a "Rocker", no doubt about that and does a GREAT job of it! Even though he didn't make it to the Top 3, I sure hopes he's invited to do a duo with Steven Tyler......Walk This Way or Dream On would be great to hear from them. Even though James left, this dude is going to be a BIG rock star......no doubt about it!!
About Haley making it into the Top 3, only one thing we can say.....absolutely NO COMMENT or should we say
Lauren should win this who thing, but what will we all say if Haley does???
As for Scotty, he's got a shot at it, but we think Lauren is the one and SHOULD be the one to win
Now, question is, if winning AI makes a person a star, what happened to that dude that won last year???? Crystal came in 2nd last season and performed on AI and done a commercial with BB King, but what about that dude that won?? And, whatever happened to Casey James from last season......he was a "Rocker" as well.

Just saw it on the news ( I stopped watching after Casey went home), now I am totally convinced of either two things. The show is rigged or AI voters are tone deaf.

This is such an absurd allegation. Haley is a bluesy jazz POP singer. Anyone who hasn't picked up on that either hasn't been paying attention or has been buying the crap the judges are spoon feeding them.

Maybe not every "theme" week has an option she can turn into something bluesy, but that hardly means she doesn't know what she is.

James actions are his Asperger's in motion. Not filtering his spoken words. I find it unbelievable that he doesn't realize AI is just the beginning and lots of good things will be coming his way. I think he convinced himself he had it in the bag and was in shock. Haley also comes across (as another poster suggested earlier) as someone with a slight Asperger profile. She has something "off" about her JMO

I thought that too, but then I'm sure they would have used it to save Pia.

James and Scotty seem to have no problem adjusting their genre to the theme weeks . Haley just isn't that good to do it.
