Ugh. America are morons. The best singer and entertainer isn't even in the finale. Instead we get Hee Haw. Yawn. Peace out, folks.
I hope you aren't referring to that screaming ***** (her singing is like nails on a chalk board) that stayed way past time and got voted out last night that gave that pissed off look i.e. the big deletedto everyone. Thia Megia is way younger than her and left with way better class than that *****.
But yes, all the best/good singers (minus Scotty) got voted out in the middle of the competition.
Though, Scotty, one of the finalist, is and will be the only person this year that actually makes something of this opportunity anyways. If he wins the competition, then we don't have to see an album getting made for someone who will flop anyways. See past idol winners (not named Clarkson or Underwood) such as last year winner Lee Dwyze. Did his album ever get made???
As for Stephen and J-Lo... if they aren't on contract, I wouldn't expect either to come back. J-Lo was more interested in her career relaunch, which obviously has taken back off. Stephen looks bored.

I think all of the last three were good. Haley does have a little bit of an attitude, but to me that was part of what made her more "star material" than the other two. She just seemed to me like she had the whole package, seemed more "street smart" and like she'd be better able to handle fame. But I also think inside that tough exterior she's probably just still a little girl - she seems older, but she's only 20. I think she'll still have a great singing career even though she didn't win AI. I like Scotty and Lauren, but Scotty needs to stop wriggling his eyebrows and Lauren needs more self confidence (which I think she is developing) and someone to pick her wardrobe.

What did Steven keep mouthing the other night when Ryan was talking? He was mouthing something to the camera but I couldn't make it out. I love Steven, but it was kind of distracting and I couldn't focus on what Ryan was saying because I was trying to figure out what Steven was mouthing. I think sometimes Steven says or does things that catch them off guard/embarrass them/leave them at a loss for words.
I don't think Steven looks bored, I think he tries to look aloof.
It is a shame Idol can't get people of that caliber on the show.
They had Pia this year, and she got voted off. While there was something abut Pia that wasn't connecting with me, she did have the most fabulous voice of entire group, IMO. And strikingly beautiful.
Disappointed in the results but I'm not surprised. I didn't want any of my favorites to win anyhow. I just didn't want the finale to be country vs. country. Oh well...

I kind of thought the country vote would be split and that either Scotty or Lauren (probably Lauren) would be off last night, and I thought the finale would be Haley and Scotty.

She's kind of too good for this show anyway -- or at least she didn't fit in at all with the America's Got Country vibe of Top 3 week. Good lookin' out, Haley!
I loved how our lil' growler improvised "Bennie and the Jets" to include Randy, J. Lo, and Steven's names. This girl has become an expert seller of a very specific type of freewheeling yet calculated performance, and really couldn't give a crap whether you like it or not.
That's how that song goes.. Haley was a class act and she was good, I don't care what all the haters are sayin.
I hoped for a Scotty/Haley final. I wanted male/female and I didn't want two country singers. I actually think Lauren is "better" than Haley because I just don't think Haley is as good as she thinks she is nor as genuine an artist. She had some really good songs, but she is nowhere near the quality of top blues/pop performers like Bonnie Raitt or Susan Tedeschi.
Scotty is easily near the top of his genre. Lauren is outstanding, although the female country/pop category is completely uninteresting to me.
I think Scotty will win because he rarely misses, and his fan base seems even more emotionally connected to him than Lauren's.
It is unlikely that I will ever buy music from either Scotty, Lauren, or Haley. If Scotty does a Christmas album, maybe.
Judges: Does anyone else believe AI lost something when Simon Cowell decided to not come back? Until this season, I haven't watched AI since the one where David Cook won. Loved David Cook's style.
But, on the judges.....AI needs Simon to return, or get someone that is brutally honest like Simon AND that knows music. Randy is good, but he has a different style than Simon. As blunt and sometimes rude as Simon was, he was usually right. I can't help but wonder what he would have said to Haley, Lauren, and Scotty. I think Haley would have checked her tude a bit, and I think Scotty might have been forced to show he could sing something besides one type of song in the same genre. That was my biggest beef with Scotty. It was the same thing over an over. Lauren, I dunno. I picture her singing at state fairs, and there's nothing wrong with that. (like I know anything )
A thing about Haley...remember that both her parents are musicians. Not trying to stereotype musicians, but I was married to one and had my only child with him. She too, is a musician. She's nice, too, but NOT sugary sweet. She gets in the mix and she plays some mean drums, but she GREW UP being around musicians. Many musicians tend to have been a little more worldly and not real naive about a lot of things. If Haley's parents are still playing she probably grew up around an odd assortment of worldly folks. I'm just guessing but it's a possibility. Scotty and Lauren seem like regular sweet, small town kids who haven't been exposed to much outside of small town Americana, so their exterior comes off as sweet and naive. Lots of people like that.
Yeah, AI needs Simon back to the judges chair. His brutal honesty actually helped them, I think.
Will definitely not watch the finale. Can tolerate some country (Underwood, Twain) but can't tolerate the old folksy stuff Scotty sings. Lauren is not ready for the spotlight and I have been very disappointed in her...had such high hopes when I saw her in the audition rounds.
I like performances that not only include great singing, but also performing...neither Scotty nor Lauren have anything that even slightly resembles being great performers.
