For once I would like to see the guest performer stand in front of the judges after their performance so they too can be rated by Simon and the rest. Picture Simon critiquing Bon Jovi
That would be pretty funny!
I have to say Fantasia sounded horriable. Never really liked her to begin with.
Ryan did say several times last night, "In no particular order" at no time was it revealed whom the bottom two....Ryan just choose to make us all sit on the edge of our sits until the end. Although I have to admit once he saved Casey, I knew Mike would go home. And from the looks on Mike's face he knew as well.
Poor Casey. He thought when they called his name that he was being sent home. He was shocked to learn he was in the top 3. He's a humble guy and that works to his advantage.
I didn't care for the guest performers last night, with the exception of the country guy (can't remember his name -- but he was REAL good).
IMO, the right 3 got to stay (Crystal, Lee, Casey).
I laughed when they asked Lee what he was thinking when he was watching the homecoming parade, and he said "I wanted that to be me." That tells me Lee finally knows he's good enough and deserves to be where he is, so now maybe he won't be so closed-off on stage. He'll start having a little bit more personality shine through into his performance.
I love Crystal all the way. The girl is a major talent and I'm so happy for her and her baby. I hope she makes a ton of money and manages to stay true to who she is. Somehow, I don't think that'll be a problem for her. She seems to be very down-to-earth, and very grounded. She's a serious-minded gal and she knows what she wants.
I have a gut feeling that Lee is going to go on a hot streak after seeing the homecoming parade videos, which would lead to him beating Crystal or Casey at the Finale. I'd rather have Lee win so Crystal won't have to deal with as much restrictions in her image as an American Idol Winner would have. Having Crystal finish 2nd place would give her more legroom in her image and sound as opposed to her winning the competition.
YAY! I was glad Mike went home. He is BORING as a singer. A whole album -- scratch that -- old lady posting here -- a whole CD of him and his boring, mellow, ballady. . . zzzzzzzzzzzzzz sorry, even typing that made me doze off.
Now Casey needs to go next and it'll be perfect. Crystal and Lee are both great, but I really want Crystal to win. I haven't cast a single vote this season, but I may have to start now.
I do have to admit though, I'm probably the only one who wasn't all that crazy about their duet. Perhaps it's because I know and love that song SO much, and they changed the harmonies just enough that it didn't have quite the same beauty as the original. Plus, when Kris did that song last year I think he knocked it out of the park, in spite of not having the benefit of a partner to make it an actual duet.
But anyway. . . Crystal for the win!!
