Ken and I have excellent taste, just ask us.
Unfortunately our picks don’t pass the 13 year old girl vote so we don’t last very long.
Go team Haley/Pia, at least for another week.
” Admit it, the streak of lipstick on Reno’s lips and the clunky pearls she put on did not at all hide how utterly masculine the woman was.”
Actually stood next to her one time at a college graduation.
She is one tall , large , blocky looking person.
” Interesting times ahead as we get to see who will go between Lauren & Haley.
Lauren goes next week. I think that is pretty clear. Jacob’s fans will go to Haley and James. Once Lauren goes, her fans go to Scotty, so we could see James and Haley or James and Scotty in the finale. However, Scotty needs to seriously step it up. He was just coasting this past week. “
We are on the same page. Scotty very good in his genre, but , to me, not stretching as much as the judgers give him
credit for.
On the whose funniest scale , I really like Scotty’s sense of humor.
So long, Jacob. Now Lauren has to get over her nerves or she’ll be next. Lauren is getting more afraid as time goes by.
I think Haley’s better than J Lo.
Lauren’s confidence is eroding. To me, this says, she’s not ready for the big time. Her confidence should be not even an issue at this point. I like Lauren but maybe she’s just letting self doubt get in her way. Self doubt can wreck a singer cuz it’s hard to hide. I hope she snaps out of it, I really do.
Definitely, Lauren is sweet but super young young young. You should not be filled with confidence as a barely 16 year old, but she’s not one of those rare young girls with super poise. She’s in stark contrast to her buddy Scotty, who is way more poised for his age.
I do not like the fakeness of Haley and feel she is emphasizing the wrong things, whereas I feel that Lauren understands her voice, her direction, and is honest. I wanted to see Haley head home first, but I just don’t know.
If I could slip into Jimmy iovine’s pink glasses for one weds night, I’d tell Haley to tone down her phony smile and superficial sex appeal. I’d have her sing a song with deep lyrics that she can believe, like a Joni Mitchell style story song, and only get loud or intense for maximum 3 seconds within the song. I’d have her use her softer voice with the killer unique tone, and no smiling. Just passion.
But Jimmy will probably advise her to sing loud, and show more leg.
I notice you’re only picking on my posts, Chunga.
I guess you need the attention and need to be asked by each individual: Please do not comment on my posts, thank you.
Yes, I don’t dislike any of the contestants. I admire them for their stamina and good sportsmanship in this long, grueling contest. Scotty’s light touch, his humor, is helping him through and he’s been a good friend to the other kids. Notice how he was first to hug on Jacob during J’s farewell song, and goof around to lighten things up.
I’m not sure why Haley attracts such cutting comments from some, but it does look like female jealousy. America seems to be liking her more and more, so....
We’ve had surprises before and we could again!! I salute all the contestants and they’ll all be together again for the summer tour anyway. More power to them.
America gets to choose between sweet V slutty,
Lauren’s humble pie V Haley’s comet.
We forget that Scotty and Lauren are what..16/17 years old. I remember my two daughters at that age...and they sure couldn’t handle all this. I hope they do the bit where the final four go home..I can’t wait to see Scotty and Lauren at their high schools..
I think they do that for the top 3.
Haley wore pants this past week. That was a first. JLo wore funny pants when she sang. She should just not try to disguise her behind. Everyone knows she has it - no need to wear hammer pants.
I like your tagline... a lot.
Thanks, I needed that.
;^)
Thanks. It’s timeless.
” We forget that Scotty and Lauren are what..16/17 years old. I remember my two daughters at that age...and they sure couldn’t handle all this “
Well stated. Many in their later years couldn’t either.
James, Scotty, Lauren win I’m ok with any of them, but prefer James.
Here are wikilinks on each. Kind of interesting.

Let’s see Jimmy without his ballcap. lol What’s he hiding?
I like your tagline, too.
With all the disasters this country has been through this year, we need prayer.
Now the poor battered Southern states are going to get flooded, adding insult to injury.
And we sure don’t have a President who cares.
Lord, help us all!
She needs to remember that she outlasted Pia Toscano, Jacob Lusk and Casey Abrams.
No small feat for a just-turned 16 year old.
