Scotty McCreery (♪♪♪) - Scotty is staying true to his roots, but this song did not do much for me. I know he can do more and he needs to keep pushing himself. Going first is always a tough spot, and if it was anyone other than Scotty performing this song first, I would be worried...but I am not.
James Durbin - (♪♪♪) - As soon as I heard James doing a Muse song I was like "how Adam Lambert" of him....then he came out to perform and he was dressed like Adam Lambert! He did an ok job with the song, except when he started screaming the 2nd verse. James was back to his more-fluff-than-substance performing which is just ok for me.
Haley Reinhart (♪♪♪♪) - Haley, there you are!!! This was BY FAR Haley's best performance EVER. THIS is the music she needs to do. Showing off her raspy, husky vocals that sets her apart this season. She kept her stage antics tame which really helped sell her vocals even more. Wow! Impressive. Of course...that could spell bad news for her this week.
Jacob Lusk (♪♪ 1/2) - I was not feeling it from Jacob this week. It was probably the emtional connection to the song combined with apparent sound issues. Jacob got lost in the background vocals and although he was emoting, I was not feeling totally connected to this performance. He is capable of more and should loosen the reigns a little if he stays.
Casey Abrams (♪♪) - Creepy Jacob is back in full affect. Ugh. Casey was doing so much better when he was "staying in his lane" with a more jazz/soul sound. Casey is NOT a rocker and when he does he gets those intense/insane eyes. It's so weird because in his video clips and outside of performing, Casey is very likeable! Eh...
Stefano Langone (♪♪♪♪♪) - Yes folks, 5 notes for Stefano this week! Here is why...he finally got out of his own head! He performed his arse off as if he had forgotten he was on national television. For the first time I truly felt like Stefano let go and put his all into it. Fantastic job...but is it enough to keep him from going home again this week?
Lauren Alaina (♪♪♪) - Lauren has sort of lost me. I like the girl, sher is sweet and seems funny but that is not translating to me on stage. She is not shining like I know she can. She is definitely holding back if you compare her now to the girl we saw audition in Tennessee. I don't know what to tell her, but she needs to start singing like she wants to be there!
Soooooo...who is in the bottom 3 and who gets the boot? I would put Casey, Lauren and Jacob in the bottom. Of course, Stefano has been in the bottom for the last few weeks and I doubt his fan base is gonna suddenly be strong enough to keep him out again so he is probably in trouble. On top of that, he had a fantastic week which may cause what fan base he does have to slack off. So, will Stefano send another person packing or will his fan base fail him for the last time? We will see!
