Top 3 Tear It Up and Perform 3 Songs Each

Morning Idolismers! Last night, our three finalists performed three songs each: One song they chose them self, another selected by Producer guy Jimmy and a third by the song chosen by the judges.

The Seacrest Powerpoint is back! This time it says: 

Now, they will return home as heroes, 

but their dream is yet to be realized. 

Their goal: to be a superstar.

Love it! Randy looked in it to win it in his royal blue? cashmere sweater and yellow striped tie, J Lo, as usual, shaped like an hour glass and stunning in her glittery silver dress and Steven is always sure to rock a mean pair of bell bottoms, a tubular Cat in the hat hat and a groovy blouse as shown below:

Seacrests hair: Freshie! So you’d assume he wouldn’t need as much gel with less hair now, right? Wrong! Still, the same ridiculous amount of pomade, side partage front spikeage.

Alas, our top 3 come on stage!! Scotty is back to wearing his baby gap jean jacket:

Lauren has on her knee high cowboy boots:

Haley's has on a pretty little dress and is ready to go:

Beyonce-WOW! Miss Bootylicious is guiding them with their first song choice of the night and is prepared to give J Lo a run for her money in the ass department. 

Scotty is the first up and in the video Beyonce calls him incredible, and a cutie pie! Ugh... He is singing “Amazed” by Lonestar which is a song I like, and since it’s the top 3, I’m going to give Scotty a chance….but he still creeps me the hell out no matter what. I thought it was a wack performance. J Lo liked his vibrato which I did not, Steven, enough with the beautiful already! And Randy said it was a smart choice.

After the commercial, we cut to Seacrest, who is surrounded by teeny boppers and the occasional random guy…... Would that random guy be me??? Haha, probably! But I’d like to think that I would be Ryan.J

Lauren is up next and is singing “Wild One” by Faith Hill. Lauren meets with Beyonce in the clip in some more super long leather boots. In the performance, Lauren definitely has fun and is sweet, and her flower earrings are cool:

 but I didn’t dig it. But Randy liked her cutesy tootsy song choice, J Lo calls her a little baby and turns it into a compliment, and Steven always loves her. To me, miss peach needs to step it up.

Haley is up next and is choosing a Led Zeppelin song! Beyonce thought it was an interesting choice, which I agreed with, but says it shows her strength and guts. I was surprised she didn’t choose a more well known Led song, but didn’t care one bit when I found out it was her Father ripping the guitar with her on stage! 

She’s hot and she’s a Daddy’s girl…Immediately I loved it and her even more. It was a clever way to win even more voters. Randy thought so too and said she SLAYED IT, (not sleighed it), and of course broke out his “Haley is in it to win it baby!” Steven sad amazing, J Lo said she showed signs of being a professional. Nice job Haley! Round one for her.

Scotty is back. More normal plaid shirt now, and then they cut to his audition, which I actually liked! 16 at the time, still a deformed head. In his next performance, he is singing chosen by Jimmy  “Are you gonna kiss me or not” by Thomson Square. Was Jimmy asking that question to Scotty? Looking for a little kiss Jimbo??? Was he looking for some Enormous domepiece Scotty loving? Ah, the performance wasn’t bad but he holds his guitar so goofy and just looks so dumb with his huge head. I’m trying to give this kid a chance… J Lo is trying to holler at his short hair, Randy broke it out, again, in it to win it. I love Randy, but I didn’t think he would stoop to the clichés like J Lo and Steven do. I’m much more of a fan of Dude and Yo being repeated 26 times…

Next up is Lauren, and they cut to the  clip of her audition, which is where I fell in love with her first. and when I see that again, I want her to win it! Jimmy chooses her to sing “If I die Young” by the band Perry. Don’t know it but cute dress she was wearing in the performance and catchy tune. 

Her style and her genre and this is the type of music she’ll be making if she makes it. However, I don’t think the song featured her strengths and it wasn’t as upbeat which is what she does better with, but it was still so good! J Lo said she had the most beautiful tone of all the contestants and it was magical. Randy said YO, and agreed with Jen’s tone comment. Steven, did it again, same old. They all mentioned how she missed the key change, but I was happy she didn’t cry. I hope the stumble doesn’t bring her down and give her the boot... And how old is Lauren’s mom? She looks like she could be under 30….. Gitturdone early down south!

Haley is up next and bombshell-esque! They cut to her audition clip where she rips out some Oh Darlin’. Since then, she has improved so much, and that’s what makes her the darkhorse. Jimmy picks a Stevie Nicks song which I think is perfect for the type of artist Haley is looking to portray. The performance started off slow and picked up the pace later, but I wasn’t a fan. L The judges thought it was OK and fit her well but she could have done more to show off her vocal talents.

            For round 2, Steven picks Lauren, and J Lo has a stiffy for Scotty and Randy liked him too….. 3 more performances to cap off the banger:

            In a brief world premier Beyonce Video of “Run the World Girls”, she looks hot riding the bull, the blinged out matador that she is. And blonde Beyonce is hot, but this song was no “single ladies” or “crazy in love”… I’d much rather see Jen performing. After all, J Lo’s ass, on a scale of 1 to 10, is a 25.

Scotty is up next, and this is hopefully his last peformance ever on idol stage. He is singing “She Believes In Me” by Kenny Rogers. His face is stupid and he is dressed in a hand me down jacket from Boys Connection

 but it’s much better than his trademark baby gap jean jacket. I’m really hoping this will be the last time Scotty performs. Steven said he put it up over the top and nice going, J Lo said he hit the chorus and was proud, and Randy said he was sweet and tender in the chorus. I hate Scotty but when I saw his Dad interviewed in the audience, I was happy the kid’s made it this far. But it’s time to go Scotty! You goofy predator!

Lauren was next and the judges picked the song “I Hope you Dance” by LeAnn Rimes. Perfect song for her and if she kills it this could allow her to stay. She comes out in one of her pretty gowns

 she usually breaks out, and the song is played up a tempo higher, and it isn’t that impressive. She doesn’t really exemplify how powerful vocals and big voice, and I hate to say it, but this song was a make or break for her and it was her worst of the night, and I’m sad but she may be boot worthy because of this. J Lo said it was beautiful and gave her goosebumps, Randy said he knows that LeAnne  would’ve thought she slayed it. Steven thinks Lauren is so at ease with herself. I agree, but I just thought she could’ve done a much better job with the opportunity to sing a great song by the target audience she is shooting for.

Haley is the last to perform tonight, and she is singing “You outta know” by Alannis Morrisette. 

Starting off weird as hell and I barely recognized it, and then it got horrendous at the low parts! But, she made up for it on the higher parts, however the musical arrangement did her a disservice. Seeing much of the crowd not even out of the chairs, bad sign. Randy said his typical in it to win it, Steven, beautiful, and J Lo really great… They agreed with me that the choruses were good but the rest was pretty bad.

            Steven thought Haley killed it for round 4, and Randy and J lo thought Lauren did.

Haley will most likely be getting the boot, but you know I hope it’s Scotty, and Lauren wasn’t  either too fab either.... Basically, a great bunch of kids but I guess I’m just not impressed with top 3 this week, and I miss 

James,

Pia,

Brett Lowenstern 

and even my puppie Stefano!

But it was a banger as expected and we have a nice top 3! Let's take one last look at them before we let one of them go:

Solid 3 songs each by our top 3. Who will get the boot? We'll find out tonight.
