Yay! Jacob is gone! Hurrah! I was sick of having to fast forward through him. (To be fair I always gave his songs 15 seconds of a chance.)
Jacob had the best voice on the show, though he wasn’t the best singer. When he had a good song he could be very good and his performance of God Bless The Child was just amazing. I’m not too broken up he’s gone, as he does have serious flaws and he’s had lots of ups and downs, but I thought Lauren was clearly worse this week.
Lauren should be gone. She clearly didn’t have enough pipes to sing her first song and mangled Unchained Melody. I don’t understand why the judges think she has this amazing vocal range she just chooses no tot explore, as she clearly doesn’t. She can go higher than she usually does but there’s no power left up there.
Now Casey is gone I’m watching for Haley. James is good and I won’t be disappointed if he wins, but I just don’t like him as much as her. Scotty isn’t my style at all, but he has grown the most by far out of all the contestants and I also won’t be upset if it goes to him.
Okay, so they did the choose-a-group nonsense after all. In fact, I think there was a year when they did it with five people instead of seven. But it needs to stop already. It’s no longer a surprise, and at this rate, it’s jerkish. Good on Scotty for refusing to play along.
Yeah, that was predictable as rain.
Here’s an interesting question: Where did all of Casey’s fans go when he left the show? I’m thinking probably 75% of them went to Haley. Maybe a few to James. I doubt many Casey fans would have migrated to Lauren or Scotty.
On the other hand, if Lauren were to get bumped next week, where would her fans go? Quite a few could wind up with the only other female left. Maybe some to Scotty. But that might put Haley into pretty good position to make it at least to the top 3 and maybe the top 2. After that, it will probably comes down to who turns in the best last couple of performances.
Okay, the REAL question of the week: who told Jennifer Lopez that those pants were in any respect whatsoever even attractive, much less flattering? I refer, of course, to the silver droopy drawers. Does she have a mirror? Yech.
I know everyone’s piling on Jacob, but I thought his voice was wonderful and I’m not the only one, as he’s been on for quite a long stretch. … As for J-Lo’s droopy drawers, I am convinced celebrities wear such stuff because they consider themselves SO much more beautiful, in shape, thin, fashion-forward, etc. than the ordinary peon that they wear such atrocities just because they CAN! “Look at me, World, behold my fabulousness! YOU out there would never dare wear something like this, but I can. I can look great in anything!”
I was a Jacob fan too. He had some off moments, but when he was on, he was better than anyone except maybe James. A lack of consistency did him in.
Lady Gaga will be the guest this week. It will be interesting to see what kind of advice she has for the contestants.
