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.

She very well could be....has a lot of fans obviously, James and Casey seem to be the strongest of the guys, Scotty is hard to judge.

Top six performed last night, once again they were terrific and I am finding it nearly impossible to rank them:
6. Jacob....showed more energy but missed a couple notes, big voice but lacks that special something.
5. Scotty....stepped outside his comfort zone and hit notes at the very top of his register, good job.
4. Lauren....big voice, she took chances and came through beautifully.
3. Haley....great voice with lots of character and she's an absolute doll.
2. Casey....unique performer who brings something new every week,
1. James....continues to separate himself from the others, his contest to lose.
Bottom three? Anybody's guess but I'd say Jacob, Haley and Casey.

Nancy and I watched and enjoyed the format, thus far this year I think Idol ranks slightly ahead as this is their deepest group, to be fair...only half of the Voice's top 24 have been chosen.

Well, they changed up this week and announced results randomly so no telling bottom three...Casey was sent home, a bit of a surprise but this year things are so close...I was heartened by the fact that I believe my girl Haley should make it into top 4 as the next to go should be Jacob.

Wow, what performances tonight....folks are making this really really hard:
5. Jacob...powerful voice (duh) but he did have a couple lapses, and in the end, he simply doesn't do it for me.
4. Lauren...so talented and impossible to find something to be critical of, a winner many seasons.
3. Scotty...rocked first song and showed his mellow side in second, amazing performances.
2. James...two wonderful performances especially his emotional second one. As the judges said, his contest to lose.
1. Haley...judges were critical of first song choice (did an unrecorded Lady GaGa song) but not her vocal. Her second song, "House of the Rising Sun" was described by Randy as the best of the night, I agree...she rocked my world!

So, what will America think? I believe Jacob will leave tomorrow, Haley should have saved herself with that wonderful second performance, it will help her that it was the last of the evening!

Well, bottom two were Jacob and Lauren (wish I could pick horses this well) and Jacob was sent home (about time imo). The remaining 4 are all supremely talented and it will depend on song choice from now on...Lauren must combat her nerves and gain confidence, Haley must continue on her hot streak, James must keep his emotions in check and Scotty must continue to be Scotty.
