This week we go to Top Ten, and if Haley (GAG!!) makes it through I will seriously reconsider going to see them on the tour. Just sayin'. =)
The theme this week is Motown!!! We should be in for some awesome performances, I'm expecting a lot out of Casey and Jacob...and I'm curious to see what James does, so let's get into it!
Casey is up first, and he's doing "I Heard It Through the Grapevine." First off...the hair is not working. I don't know that he sounds that amazing, but I'm smiling anyways because he just is great to watch! I like him. Not his best performance, but this guy isn't going anywhere for a LONG time. So no worries!
My girl Thia has to have a comeback in the eyes of the judges. She picked "Heatwave", so I'm hoping that the judges really like her. I think she sounds great with the faster song. She's smiling and bopping around the stage...she's just adorable!! The judges didn't sound like they really liked it, though.
Jacob is singing a Marvin Gaye song I've never heard. I'm sorry, the voice is so velvety! He's amazing. I don't have enough nice things to say about him. I think he's vocal perfection. =) And I think the fact that he got a hug from Steven Tyler AND a standing ovation goes to show how unique and perfect this man's voice is.
Lauren needs to keep up her momentum from last week, and she's going with "You Keep Me Hanging On" this time. She did good, but I feel like with her voice, there was room for a lot more. It started to all sound the same, and she needed to jump up to a big power-note in there at the end. But oh well. She's alright, I think she did fine.
Stefano picked "Hello" by one of THE best singers, Lionel Richie. If he does it right, he will NAIL IT. I don't think he nailed it, but I think he still did a really good job. The arrangement was awesome! I agree with the judges, he wasn't believable. He sang great, but he didn't look like he was as angsty as the song requires.
Haley (GAG!!) is next. "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" is her song. I think she just sucks. The end.
I'm dying to see how Scotty tackles Motown, haha. He is going to sing "For Once In My Life" and I hope he does okay. I see someone hasn't shown him the cool way to hold a mic yet, hehe. I'm not loving this performance. At all. Cute kid, terrible performance.
I'm loving Pia more and more every week. She's singing a Stevie Wonder song I've never heard of. She sounded amazing, but I wish I'd known the song she sang. Killer notes, though. Wow. She can S-I-N-G.
Bradley Cooper...uh, I mean Paul, is next. Let's hope he doesn't stagger around looking drunk like he did last week, haha. He picked one of the BEST Motown songs, "Tracks of My Tears," and I think the acoustic guitar is AM AWESOME way to change up this song. This is my favorite performance of his. NAILED IT!!
If Naima is going to have a comeback, this will be the week. I want her to comeback. She's singing "Dancing In the Streets" and I reaaaaaaaaaaally want her to do well. She starts off pretty good. I think she did pretty DAMN good. The little African dance thing was really neat and different. I think she rocked it.
Ending with James, I've been DYING to see his performance. He's singing "Living For the City" by Stevie Wonder. Another song I've never heard of. I remember they did Motown another season, and the contestants picked WAY better songs. So this time was slightly disappointing. But, I digress. James is amaznig. The song seems lame. But I like how he's singing it.
Now for the results...I can't believe I made it to Sunday night without watching this, and NO ONE has ruined it for me. It's time for me to FINALLY see if justice will be served here, haha.
The intro thing said something about "expect the unexpected" across the screen, which suggests an upset of some kind? I certainly hope not...
I've never been a Marc Anthony fan, but he was really funny there with the contestants. And Stevie Wonder???? Holy cow, the contestants are SO LUCKY!!! Steven Tyler looked like he didn't know he was going to be there, haha. What a cool birthday surprise!!
Here we go, up first is Scotty, Pia, and Lauren. And they're all safe!
Yay!!! More funny videos, the wrestling stuff was hysterical!
James and Paul are both up, and they both have to be safe...Paul is kinda growing on me and he did really well. The trick to get Hulk Hogan out there was frickin' HILARIOUS!!!!!!! I was scared when Ryan said they were both not safe...
Jacob, Thia, and Stefano...my three favorites. I doubt they are all safe, and I'm scared. Jacob's safe, no shock there. I am thinking maybe Stefano is the one in danger. Then Ryan announces Thia and Stefano BOTH are in danger.
Naima, Haley (GAG!), and Casey are left. It's gotta be Haley (GAG!!) joining them on the stools. She cannot be on the tour. More importantly, Casey has to be safe, and Naima EARNED her spot this week. AND NAIMA IS SAFE! I'm thrilled, she really did well and deserves this. Casey is not safe. And that little skank is. I don't want any of those three to go home.
Um, Jennifer Hudson didn't win American Idol. Ryan's losing his mind, haha. We had to rewind to see if I'd heard that right. I thought he might correct himself after she sang, but he didn't.
The first person to be pulled off the stools is Thia. I thought it would be Casey. Stefano and Casey don't deserve to be sitting there together. Haley (GAG!!) should be in their spot. Casey is the very bottom???? I could see the judges saving him. Lo and behold, the judges don't let him finish singing before they tell him he's SAFE. The save is used so early, so there's no hope from here on out. Everything is final.
And two people should be going home next week. SHE had better be one of them.
