American Idol Eliminates Jacob

Sorry I couldn’t blog American Idol last night. As I’m sure you all know, Jacob Lusk was eliminated. No surprises there. We are down to the top four–Haley, Lauren, James and Scotty. This is fun because every one of them is so different from the others. It makes for some great comments! I really can’t decide which of those four I want as the American Idol. I think they are all talented and will do well in their careers no matter what. As mentioned many times on this site, it is usually better NOT to be the American Idol.

Have a good weekend, Bloggergal

Thanks Bloggergal…I hope you have a great weekend also. As for American Idol….I’m glad Jacob went home as each week, he seemed to go downhill. I would really like to see James win but I really like Lauren and Haley too. As you said, they will all have careers in the singing business no matter what the outcome.

For me, Haley is the one! Although, I do think it will be Scotty or James. Of the four, Scotty will have a very successful music career, and when he matures will be a star. I don’t see James or Lauren doing much, unless they can also write. I think Haley will find success doing musicals, unless she wins, then the exposure might help her. I could see her finding work as an actress.

Thank the Lord, my prayers were answered. Jacob is gone. Sorry anyone that liked him, but I just couldn’t take him any more. I am pleased with the 4 that remain. No matter who wins they are all winners. Happy Mother’s Day bloggergal.

One down and two to go. Haley then Scotty goes home and we have James and Lauren in the finals. That is my prediction.

I liked Jacob, his voice was amazing compared to the others’ and he was generally just truly talented. Lauren needs to go home, her voice sounds exactly like any other pop star. Shes pretty much the definition of the perfect American Idol, however I think that the show should lean more towards the person with the most diverse voice. Hayley is ok. Her voice is strong, but I just don’t like her style. James is definitely one of the most liked out of the four. I personally don’t like his voice, I think it’s too forced, but I do respect that he’s gotten this far despite having tourettes- that is pretty cool I guess. For now, I’m hoping Scotty will win. All of his preformances kind of sound the same but he has more talent over the rest.

I thought that Lauren’s performance was very good. She is going to be in the final two with James or Scotty. The only thing I could find wrong with her performance was that the song might have been a little too mature for her at that young age. I wasn’t all that impressed with Jacob. He is very talented but I don’t think he has what it takes to keep moving on up on American Idol. Scotty on the other hand did an outstanding job. Along with Scotty, James did really good too. I don’t have any negative comments to say about these two. Haley did’t quite wrap up the show. She has a lot of talent but I cannot see her going far after this.

James sang with a lot of heart in this last song. I do not have a bad thing to say he will have a good career ahead of him. Jacob is a very talented singer who can hit many notes others can not. I am not a fan of his type of singing, his screaming and high pitched notes are not what I like but he did do very well throughout the competition. Lauren sounded great and sang a song which really means a lot to her which I believe helped her out. The tempo of the song was slow for me but that’s how the song was just not my favorite choice. Scotty is my choice for the next american idol. He did great in his second song. I have no criticism for him because he is singing the songs he should be singing. Haley despite not being one of my favorites did ding well. My only flaw with her is her inconsistency with her song choices I enjoy some and dislike others. My predicition is Haley will go next followed by James. Scotty and Lauren are in the finals and it’s anyones guess who wins it from there.

The only original contestant is Haley. Scotty and Lauren can only sing country. James Durbin just screeches every performance. Jacob definitley didn’t deserve to go home. Hopefully Haley and James will be the final two. Scotty and Lauren sound the same in every performance and need to go home.

James Durbin is good in the way that he can stretch out his notes but the only thing that i dislike about him is the way that he starts his songs out. Jacob Lusk in my opinion is all out bad, being that he cannot sing at all, the only good thing about him is that he can dress well. Lauren can sing very well, from the first time that i heard her sing i knew that she would make it to the finals, i cant think of anything bad about her. Scotty is my favorite singer, he can sing anything country in my opinion and nail it, the bad thing is, he has to start of his songs better. Haley is one of a kind, her voice to me is very exquisite, the thing that i don’t like about the way she sings is the way she ends her songs.

It was no shock to me Jacob got eliminated. Skill wise, he was behind the final four and deserved to get sent home. However, the final four are left and everyone is excited to see how the results play out. As for Scotty, he was my favorite since day one. He sings his own style that you don’t usually see on American Idol. I think he has a bright future in the music industry. However, he is very young and his maturity might play a role with how he develops. Lauren sang with a lot of emotion which helped her out a lot. Her pitch and diction sounded great. However, I think there are more songs out there that fit her better. I think Haley could have picked a better song where she didn’t have to be that loud during the song. However, she sounded the best out of all the performers. James did fairly well and I think it was one of his best performances yet. However, I think he could have showed a little more emotion. I think the top 4 will finish:
1-Scotty
2-Haley
3-James
4-Lauren

Tanner Says:

1. James- I realy like James’s voice. He is very talented and i predict he will be in the top 2 along with Lauren. All i have to say is he should do more upbeat sons he typicaly does better on those in my point of view.
2. Jacob- I dont realy like him that much his voice is ok just needs to find what kind of music he is into because pop is not it maybe more gospel or something but im not crazy about him.
3. Lauren- Lauren is my favorite and it will be hard to choose between her and James in the finals if they both make make it. Lauren has an excelent voice and is so full of emotion. I for one hope she wins and gets her carrer up and working because she will stay around and always shock us.
4. Scotty- I like Scotty as well he is very tlented and i wish to be hones him Lauren and James could all win. I think he should deffinitly stick with country because its his best genre that fits his voice.
5. Haley- I am not foned of Haley. She is my least favorite. I like her voice but it just doesnt fit some of the songs she sings.

I am shocked that Jacob went home, he definitely didn’t deserve it. He was incredibly talented, and poured his heart and soul into every performance. Out of the top 4, my personal favorite is James. I like that he could go from singing a hard rock song, to something soft and sweet, he’s gonna be tough to beat. I also like Scotty, he has a great voice, and he’s a hit with the the cans. However, I would like to see if he could do anything other than country. Same goes for Lauren, great voice, but very one-sided. After the last few performances, I’m starting to realize that Haley does deserve to be in the Top 4, she sings with emotion and power. My prediction:
4th: Lauren
3rd: Haley
2nd: Scotty
1st: James

Stan T Says:

i believe that haley is a real threat to win this thing. I believe that since she has gotten progressively better that she is gaining support from the viewers, but will it be enough to oust always strong competitors like scotty and james. I think that james is overrated. While he is very talented and gives his all on every single performance, i just feel like he gets special treatment from everyone. Scotty needs to open himself up and unlock his true potential. Lauren is the weakest link in my eyes. I believe she is a poor man’s carrie underwood. There have been numerous singers like her and im just not a fan of the same old singer.

Jacob going home was a shock to me. The crowd didn’t help the moment by yelling for Jacob to go home. His voice was that of something else. He was really talented and seemed to have a good time up there. His weakness was singing outside of his genre. Gosple was what he was good at. Just like how Scotty is. He is good too, but can only sound good with country. How I think the ending will be is this:
1.Scotty
2.Haley
3.James
4.Lauren

Nick P Says:

Well you’re very right, bloggergal, when you say that the final four are all very different. James has the big rock voice while Scotty has the classic country voice. The past performance, I was a little disspointed in James’s performance. He strayed away from his comfort zone and I’m not sure it fit him well. I still feel that Haley is inferior to the rest of the competition and that she will be packing her bags up shortly. Scotty will then go home due to his one dimensional voice.
1: James
2:Lauren
3:Scotty
4:Haley

1. James – I have always appreciated James for being very versatile, however I wasn’t a fan of his song selection this week.

2. Lauren – She always brings it on stage and this week was no exception, she will be very tough to beat. Her only downside is that she is very one dimensional.

3. Scotty – If you are into country type music then Scotty is hands down your favorite singer on the show. He is excellent at singing country music, however, this type of music is all he sings.

5. Haley – I really find myself bored when she sings, I feel that Stefano deserves to be here more than her. She did do pretty good this week which makes me wonder if she will be spared.

I am very happy to see that Jacob went home. He didn’t deserve to make it this far but he finally went home which is a good thing. Some good comments that have for the contestants are: 1.Scotty mcCreery: He is a very talented singer and he is very good for country music. 2.James Durbin: James has a high pitch voice and he is really talented for classic rock music. 3. Haley Reinhart: She is a godd singer and has a soft voice and she knows what sh is doing when she is on the stage singing. 4. Lauren Alaina: Lauren sounds good but shesounds the same every week. She needs to change it up alittle.

Edward Kordish Says:

Well I disagree with alot of the people, Scotty has alot of talent and his uses his own style there was only four people that did that this season and it’s the final four, just think about that. Also, they all had a great night including Jacob, but He just didn’t what it takes to be the next American Idol. As for Lauren, Haley, and James they all did really great but Scotty stole the show in my eyes and ears. But for the Finale it’s as the following:
1: Scotty McCreery
2: Lauren Alaina
3: James Durbin
4: Haley Reinhart
These next 3 weeks on A.I. are gonna be the toughest not only for the contestants and judges but also the voters alike. I’m going for Scotty all the way.

I am conmpletly in shock over Jacob leaving. I thought he was the best male preformer on the show. Dont get me wrong, I think scotty is great too but I would like to see him do something out of the ordinary for him and do something other than country music. Lauren is a good singer too, she has kind of a miley cyrus feel to her. however i think because she is so young she might not be ready to be a professional singer yet. It surprises me that there is only one other girl on the show right now, usually the girls out-do the boys. not this time! I like haily a lot. I think she might be my favorite of the two girls. I love her fashion sense and think she would make a great singer. Next is James. I think he is an okay singer but he gets really emotional when he sings which isnt always a good thing.

1. Haily
2. scotty
3. Lauren
4. james

Im not too shocked that Jacob left. I kinda knew that he was gonna leave eventually. it was sooner than i thought though. Scotty is my favorite, he has a good voice but i think he should try something other than a country style. Lauren is good too, i think she’ll be in the final two, but she needs to not be so nervous when she goes up on stage, i feel like hwen i watch her she’s not really that into it. I like Haley too, i like how you dont hear voices like her’s a lot so it makes everything different on the show. And james, i think he’s good but i dont think he’ll make it too far on the show.

4. Haley
3. James

Erik W Says:

Everyone knew that Jacob was going to go home soon. He continued to have a poor choice of song selection and really had no great performances these past few weeks so it was time for him to go. I personally don’t think he should have made the top 5. He has an alright voice, but what got him that far was his strong vocals.

4.) James
3.) Lauren
2.) Haley
1.) Scotty
