American Idol "Top 12 results show" 3/17/2011 *spoilers

My picks...

Bottom 3 will be
Haley Reinhart
Naima Adedapo
Thia Megia

Going home will be
Naima Adedapo

 

Is it me or is the crowd not a vocal as usual?

 

I say Karen instead of Thia but otherwise, same!

Have fun watching commercials. I'll check in later, after I watch it in 30 minutes.

 

so far.

 

Well guess neither of us guessed the one going home!

 

Wow. Didn't see that coming.

 

That was really sad. I assume that Jennifer wanted to save her. Her rendition of Hero was absolutely beautiful; however, nothing else she's sung has blown me away so I guess it was the right decision.

 

I was sure Naima was toast. That was a surprise to me.

 

Bad choice. Karen was not going to make it to the end but she had a good enough voice that she should have outlasted several others.

I'm just stunned that Paul has turned in awful performances the last two weeks and somebody keeps voting him through. He deserved to be in the bottom three. Unless he pulls a rabbit out of his hat I will get increasingly annoyed the longer he stays in.

The judges did make the right choice though not to save. I think they are saving it in case James, Casey, Pia or Scotty get voted off prematurely.

 

Didn't someone say the Paul had some sort of fan base from a band he's in or something?

 

And Paul lives to sing another week.

And we have to listen to him.

Ugh.

Karen needed to go at some point - surprised it was this soon, but it was inevitable.

I'm glad Haley is still in it - I think she is a lot better than they give her credit for (especially Randy, who has some kind of major bug up his ass about her).

All the girls are going to need to go except for Pia and Lauren. I think it will be the other girls getting picked off over the next few weeks, unless enough people wake up and dump Paul during that time as well.

 

I like Paul...he's different and if you don't watch him his voice is fine. Karen going home is fine with me...

 

Lee Dewyze needs to lay off the cheeseburgers.

 

Can a girl win this show anymore? Not a single guy has hit the bottom 3 yet.

My favorites this year:
Haley - Hot. Sexy, sultry voice. Not a good combination to get the votes, but enjoying for the next week or two.
Paul - Very cool voice, a natural movement on stage and would be at home as the lead singer of a rock band. * This week his voice was very weak but he gets one free pass since he was sick. Could go far but will drop off my favorite list if he can't add more power behind his vocals.
Lauren - Clean her up, put her on the Kelly Clarkston diet, give her top notch vocal coaching. She is the only contestant that could actually sell a few million records if she won. But she's a girl, no chance to win. Bring on the next Lee Dewyze 100k seller.

Non-favorites:
Jacob - Gospel gymnastics is not my thing. Safe for a long time though.
Stefano - Could be a late bloomer and go very far. On AI, it is not good to peak early because you battle your past performances and haters that pull for the underdog. He could be in the sweet spot. I hate his style but would not be surprised if he wins it all.
Scotty - One note wonder again, no chance of being voted off for a while. Has the country voting block.
Pia - Does she sing the same Vegas show song every week? She will start to annoy the masses very soon. May be the first major shocker vote off and save candidate.

No problem with Karen being voted off, voice better than others but her look in style did her in. Too into the ethic thing.

 

The Kelly Clarkson diet is currently cheeseburgers and Coca Cola, isnt it?

 

I have watched every season and I couldn't remember him when Ryan announced he was going to be on the show. He just disappeared. I can't imagine any caring about him.

 

Are we really supposed to believe the judges are deciding whether or not to execute the "save" during the final song?

 

Last season was the first time I bailed on the show in the middle of the season - that is how boring and bland the contestants were. I didn't care about any of them.

In comparison, this year they have a lot more diverse talent, which is keeping it interesting.
