That means that since the field was reduced to 13, 5 have been sent home...all girls! Yet marginal performers such as Stephano, Paul and Casey move on. This was a tough week as everybody performed well but hard to understand the results.

Best year for talent since it's been on...no marginal talent with 9 left means means good people go home early. Pia handled herself extremely well and will recover. There are a couple this year that will lose and still have solid careers. Scotty wins unless he tries to rap...

Agree that Scotty is now a real contender, I still have hope for Haley as she has stepped up the last couple of weeks...like I said, she can do Janis and that says everything. James is a force with his range but rockers seldom win....

Week eight tonight and everybody brought their "A" game. After last week, it's almost impossible to determine who may leave tomorrow:
8. Paul....I still don't get him.
7. Jacob....something missing but can't deny he's got pipes.
6. Haley....so damn sexy but not her best week.
5. Lauren....powerful voice, a contender
4. Scotty....true to his country roots.
3. Stephano....his best week in the competition, will it save him?
2. James....heavy metal, rocks the stage.
1. Casey....found himself this week, unique performer who makes jazz cool.
I suspect the bottom three will be Stephano, Paul and Haley unless Jacob alienated folks last week, they have to send a guy home soon....

Well, I can only hope that I'm this lucky with my Derby picks....nailed the bottom three and Paul was sent home. Gotta respect Paul, he took everything in stride and performed "Maggie May" one more time (JLo's request)...his best song as he does Rod very well. So the string of 5 straight girls was broken and next week will be even harder.

Down to the top 7 and again...tremendous performances, every week they hit every song out of the park! Probably will come down to what type of performer folks like:
7. Jacob...terrific voice but a couple hiccups this week, emotion overcame him.
6. Scotty...one of the favorites but nothing special this week.
5. Stephano...another good week as he is gaining confidence.
4. Lauren...love her voice, she could easily win it all.
3. Haley...continues to be super sexy with a voice to match.
2. Casey...the mad man of Idol, changed up this week and ended with a kiss for JLo...outstanding!
1. James...the best performance in Idol history, period!
Based on voting history, I suspect bottom three will be Jacob, Stephano and Haley.

Well, I hit the bottom three again, Stephano finally was sent home, he had a good run considering he was almost a weekly visitor to the bottom 2. It's becoming obvious that barring a complete meltdown by someone, the final four will be James, Casey, Lauren and Scotty....can't argue a lot but I really do like Haley over Lauren or Scotty.

I think Lauren will be in the final 2 at the end. That is all.
