Last night American Idol was down to the top three. Well because it was Mandy's birthday and we had friends over we didn't take our normal notes or tweet like we normally do during the show. So that format is obviously out the window. Instead I will do my best to talk about the top three, performances and the people itself and who I think NEEDS this show to be successful and who doesn't.
First of all Scotty. Every week I say the same thing, how is he this good this young? The fact is he's no where near his prime and he's a better singer than most of the new artists currently on country radio. While last night he seemed a bit off, that just means that his fans are going to try harder to get him to the finale. He's simply amazing and will see a life on the Opry stage before the end of this year win or loss. He has the attraction to the girls and guys, even non country guys, love him. He's by far the most well liked Idol in a long long time.
Now onto the youngest person left, the beautiful Lauren. I really want her to be older so I don't feel so creepy saying that. At 16, she has found a way to be pop country. He's got an incredible voice and great range. The only problem that I've seen all season is she's still so scared on that stage. You would think she's been doing this for three months now she'd be 100% used to performing in front of this crowd. Last night I think she wrote her ticket to finals singing Band Perry's If I Die Young, a song I don't like at all, but she did it better than they ever did.
Finally, Haley. Seriously, this is one of the most puzzling semi-finalists in a long time. I mean she's good, but she's not great. She doesn't belong at this level. Last night for me, she was trying to be tough and came off over her head, tried to be sexy and came off creepy and tried to live up to beating out James and looked over her head. It might seem I'm being mean and a little biased to the country duo, but she didn't even belong in Top 5 let along the Top 3. I've been saying that for months now. I just hope she realizes that if by some chance she makes it to the finale, she's going to lose because all the young votes will either goto Scotty or Lauren.
The finale SHOULD be Scotty vs. Lauren. The youngest final ever. They are most consistent this season and the most deserving at this point.
If there's ever a time that the vote should be "rigged", FOX should make sure that this is the finale next week.
