FOX's "American Idol" (Season 16)

Well I figured Karen or Naima, and I am glad Naima will get another chance.

Karen was boring and unoriginal.

Really? I dont think she is any close to Selena. She even sung a Selena song and it was pretty weak to me. Got Em!!

Yea the thing with Naima is each of her performances were very interesting and far from boring and although she may not have sang perfectly the arrangements of her songs were great to me and I think people liked it. Now she does need to get her singing back up to par because she could be one of the next couple to go possibly after Haley. Got Em!!

Karen was a MUCH better singer than Naima and Haley! She didn't deserve to go. I felt bad for her. I thought she deserved to go on. I think the only reason why the judges didn't use the save on her is because it's still early in the season and they're saving it for either Pia or Jacob just in case either one of those is in jeopardy of getting voted off. Sorry, but America f*cked up and got it wrong this week! Karen wasn't my favorite girl this season (Pia is), but she was a close second.

Again I disagree with everything u said actually. Karen is not a better singer than Naima. Her and Haley are close but atleast Haley has a distinctive voice. The reason the judges didnt save her is because she isnt good enough and she only gave ok performances at best. Also yes of course if Pia or Jacob is in trouble they will easily be saved but so would Casey, James, Lauren, Paul, & Scotty also. They will only use the save when its worth it and earned and Karen didnt come close to earning it. Thats crazy u think she is a better singer than Lauren??? Anyway Im glad its goin my way so far but well see what happens and America absolutely got it right this week. Got Em!!

She's following Selena's footsteps-- a singer-songwriter and fashion designer. I wish her the best! On a side note, I didn't know she and Pia went to the same school together and knew each other before Idol.

Following someone and actually sounding like someone are two different things. I guarantee u she wont be the next Selena. She doesnt have that "it" factor and for a latino chick her body is very flat! Selena was stacked! The one and only comparison is they are both latino thats it. Got Em!!

Finally a week when no one was down right bad; I didn't like them all, but no one was horrible.


My three least favorite were Haley, Naima and Thia.

Pia was my favorite again, followed by Scotty again, then Lauren.

I really liked Paul's performance too.

[jvince]

West Coast feed sucks. Thought I'll never see this week's show.

And lol at Casey. Dude's so freaky, and what's up with the hair?

[thelittleprince]

Motown week at Idol! Overall, good performances tonight. My favorites are James-- best song choice, IMO, with Stevie Wonder's Living for the City, Pia and Paul. Haley and Naima who were at the bottom last week actually sang well tonight. Worst song choice was Stefano's Hello. Worst performance, IMO, was Casey's I Heard it Through the Grapevine.

My prediction in the bottom three: Casey, Naima and Haley (although my personal bottom three are Casey, Stefano and Thia but I don't think Stefano and Thia will be at the bottom three as they seem to have a huge fan base). If it was up to me, Casey would go home tomorrow night but the likability factor gives him an edge. I predict Haley goes home tomorrow night.

[thelittleprince]

Also enjoyed Scotty's country version of For Once in My Life and I'm not a fan of country music.

[newginafets]

my top 3 favorites are Pia, Scotty and Thia.

but i love Naima.

Don't really care about Paul and James.

[Mouse]

I liked most of them but Haley. Still voting for Casey and James. If Casey ends up on the bottom three I will start flooding the votes for him as up until now I've just been sending one vote each week to the two of them. I always enjoy his performances.

Anyway, after Haley goes the rest are all good for me. Have to agree with the judges on Pia tho... she's doing all these ballads and I'm surprised they weren't on her like they were Thia all along.

[JulieL]

I HATE Casey.....I want to vomit every time I see him or hear him.

I like James, Paul, Pia, and Lauren.

I also can't stand Scotty

The reason they werent all on Pia is because she killed evry single ballad in a major way while Thia was just decent on hers. When u kill your performance week in week out, what can anyone say?

[CZAR]

Casey Abrams - Love his edginess every time and he killed it singing a great song also.

This Megia - This was probably her best performance but it still wasnt great.

Jacob Lusk - WOW!! Like I have said, he is the best singer Ive ever seen on Idol. Fabulous performance.

Lauren Alaina - Another effortless performance and again very good. I still wish she would challenge her voice more.

Stefano Langone - It was decent but he got swallowed a bit by that song.

Haley Reinhart - She has a unique voice but I just dont like her for some reason. Performance wasnt bad though.

Scotty McCreery - He made that song a bit to country for me. He is a great country singer but he is to limited in my book.

Pia Toscano - Another astonishing performance. She can sing with any artist right now!

Paul McDonald - Pretty good rendition but he is starting to get stale just a lil bit. I need more or sumthin different from him.

Naima Adedapo - Again she is creative and gives the best arrangements and love her adding the dancing and other flavors she brings. Just refreshing on Idol.

James Durbin - Awesome performance and great way to close the show.

Bottom 3
Stefano Langone
Thia Megia
Haley Reinhart

I have been perfect so far this season but it will obviosuly get tougher each week as it gets down to the best singers. I am confident that Haley will go home for sure but other than that its very tough. I was gonna put Naima in the bottom 3 again but I think she did a very good job and I hope she doesnt place there this time. Well see how it goes. Also again folks are crazy for thinkin Casey will be in the bottom 3 hahahaha. Got Em!!

[master_8ball]

Bottom 3
Stefano Langone
Naima Adedapo
Thia Megia

Everyone did pretty good last night, both Thia and Naima did better than last week but I still think were the weakest. Stefano who I think has a chance to do well didnt do so hot last night.

[CYMBOL]

I like Casey - but he's growling and screaming his songs too often now - and always giving that "mad eye" look. He needs to just sing.

Lauren did good - but picked a BORING song.

I think Stephano will be in the bottom 3. He isn't an interesting performer in any way - and comes across like he's on a singing competition - instead of giving a show.

Durbin, Lusk, Pia all killed it.

Scotty did a good job making a Motown song country.

Paul and Thia were good but forgettable.

Naima was at her best - but I think everyone knows she's not going to go much further. Oh, and please stop dancing. Drums, cool - dancing, no.

Haley, I like her singing voice - but hate that growl. Never liked that from any singer.

Bottom 3
Haley Reinhart
Naima Adedapo
Thia Megia

Hard to call who will go - all of them are boring me lately.

I'll go with Thia.

[jvince]

Tier 1:
1. (1.) Scotty McCreery

Tier 3:

Tier 5:
10. (12.) Naima Adedapo
11. (11.) Haley Reinhart

My bottom three predictions:
Stefano Langone
Naima Adedapo
Haley Reinhart

[Diesel]

I can't believe they wasted the save on Casey

The save needs to be used on someone who could win like Scotty, Pia, Jacob, Lauren...not someone like Casey.

Ha ha! Who has the last laugh now?! Wow! I can't believe my personal bottom three was the bottom three tonight with Casey getting the lowest votes! America came through for me tonight! They wasted the save on Casey. He was the worst performer last night. He better bring it on next week or he's gone for good!
