American Idol - Season 10

Casey - I like him better with a bit more of his growl, but this was amazing and sexy and very well sung.

Haley -Wow, I'm shocked you finally didn't like Haley. Good for you, NDN! Thing is, I thought she was actually decent, perhaps even good this week. Janis is definitely a good spot for her, but I remain unconvinced she can sing anything else.

Jacob - Jacob was amazing, and I'm glad he switched songs, because he nailed MJ. It was great, and he got better control of his "I'm poopin!" face, which was good.

James - Best performance of the night, and not just because he sang a Beatles song. I love this kid, he's amazing and inspirational, and a true artist. Definitely better than Adam Lambert. Deserves to win.

Lauren - Her Aretha was strictly worse than Aretha. Bottom three.

Pia - This was not good. She should stick to ballads.

Scotty - I thought he sounded best when his voice got to go back down to his lower registers where he just nails every country song ever written, but it was still a great performance. Deserves to be in the finals with James.

Stefano - Stefano sucks, and Randy had it right when he was talking about him rushing through phrasing in the song. Bottom three for sure.

Paul - I still like Paul, and he did a really good job with this song. He should definitely stick around, at least for another couple weeks.

My top three: James, Scotty, Paul
My bottom three: Lauren, Stefano, Pia
America's bottom three: Stefano, Lauren, Pia
