American Idol - better late than never...

Well, after a family staycation for a couple days in Chicago, I'm quite a bit late on my American Idol update - but I did watch it and comment in the moment using my iphone, so I kept it short.  - So here they are, even though I know Casey got the big save... enjoy!

Casey - grapevine - better than last week fo sho
Thea - heat wave - pure goodness.
Jacob - don't know this song well but he rocked it. Great control and soul.
Lauren - keep me hangin on - major comeback for her. Not sure about the last run but it was all good.
Stefano - hello - goodbye...
Haley - her straightened hair turned her into a hunchback. Better toward the end.
Scotty - for once in my life - he's great out of his element. Looks like Alfred E. Neumann tonight.
Pia - all in love is fair -  for a humanoid robot who has come to take over the world she is amazing.
Paul - tracks of my tears- it was like a rod Stewart tom petty Mashup. Quirky Boring.
Naima - dancing in the streets - well she's definitely better than Mick and Bowie were - didn't need the Milwaukee throw in or the dance break.
James - livin for the city - great jam - he's in some rare company man - what pipes.

Bottom line: Everyone did better than Casey, and that plus the fact that he sang first left him in the dust. Glad to hear that he's going to get to go on the tour - but will he be able to get his thing together to keep from the same fate next week? I guess we'll see...

Was Casey swearing a lot? I was on the treadmill with the sound low and CC on, but I thought there were a lot of "dumb button" pauses in sound.

I like him, but I didn't see him the night before, so I cannot judge.

Motown is great, but it's so overdone. They could have skipped this night altogether.

Yes Ellie, Casey swore a LOT. I haven't heard that many "bleeps" on live TV in quite a while. For me, there are too many growls and grunts in his vocals and I don't find him enjoyable.

The Paul note cracks me up because I commented to a friend that he's like Rod Stewart on estrogen. I'm also over Pia - beautiful girl, beautiful voice but boring as heck! I'd rather go to an opera in a language I don't understand.

For me the upside was Jacob. So much more balanced this week than in the past. He had his emotions in check and was amazing. He makes me smile every week.

This week, it's the music of Elton John.
