American Idol - Season 10

Honestly I thought this was one of Scotty's weaker performances, perhaps he shouldn't of changed. I felt like he was off for the intro, and he got pushed around by the backup singers. He hit his stride in the middle, but was weak up until then.

So they cut Casey's hair and beard more. At this rate he'll look like Howie Mandel by the time they finish.

Now Nat King Cole is awesome. And Casey's performance was awesome. But it's the type of thing that tends to flop when it comes to voting. Jimmy warned him about it.

I mean, I'm 100% going to vote for him, and I really hope the people who actually suck get voted off, but I'm worried for him now. This is the type of performance where Casey beats himself.

Wow, some criticism from the judges! They weren't harsh enough, It was not good at all! When Steven has to talk about how short her dress is to give a complement, that's how you know it sucked. Maybe I don't know who my bottom 3 are....

Jacob was pretty good there to be honest. Maybe anyone would have looked good following Haley. It's still clear that he pales to the top of this competition, but hopefully he'll be out of the bottom 3 this week. I count 4 so far that are significantly worse.

Well, I shouldn't have expected anything less from James. He rocked it hard. It might be good that he got the pimp spot, as a good chunk of America just won't vote for a metal singer. But he got votes when he did Judas Priest, this might not be any different.

My bottom 3: Lauren, Stefano, Haley

Expected bottom 3: Paul, Lauren, Stefano

Going home: Stefano

Winner: James-He got to do the song he wanted, in the pimp spot, and nail it hard.

I'm too disappointed with this week's show to give a deep summary.

My Top 3 (In order from best to worst): Jacob, James, Casey (Haley is a close fourth).
My Bottom 3: Paul, Stefano, Scotty
America's Bottom 3: Stefano, Lauren, Paul
Going Home: Stefano

I like the advice Jimmy is giving to people. It's honest REAL advice from someone who knows what they are talking about. He's blunt and I think the contestants can use his input more so than anything any of the judges have said all season. Hell, what he did with Jacob tonight was absolutely amazing and Jacob is going to owe him his life for extending his time on AI. At the end of the day I want the contestants to be who they are (Casey & James made the right decision with their songs), but at least Jimmy is giving them advice from a perspective that matters.
