Scotty McCreery - Swingin by LeAnn Rimes

James Durbin - Uprising by Muse

Haley Reinhart - Rolling in the Deep by Adele

Jacob Lusk - Dance With My Father by Luther Vandross

Casey Abrams - Harder To Breathe by Maroon 5

Stefano Langone - Closer by Ne-Yo

Lauren Alaina - Born to Fly by Sara Evans

going to be a hard hard week to choose the B3 this week, with Casey and Haley doing so well, and Scotty and Lauren being 2 of the weaker ones (but you know that they wont drop to B3) I tihnk Haley may be in there by pure default

I think you maybe right there regarding Haley.
I don't think Scotty nor Lauren will be in the bottom three this week, apparently they're topping the votes each week.
Jacob had a poor week, he cocked it up at the beginning and his vocals and performance was weak.

IMO the bottom 3 are
Stefano
Jacob
Haley

with Jacob going this week

Liked Haley. Great song choice for her this week.

Jacob was horrible!

Is DWMF from this century?

So, Maroon 5 did clear a song, we were speculating about them, although more for James and Stefano lol

I do like Stefano's song choice, hopefully it'll save him from the B3 pr worse! Let's hope he comes Closer to the top of the poll this week!

Edit: Just checked re: DWMF. It's from 2003. Surprised though. I like the song, but I don't think it sounds like it's from this century lol

Like Haley's song choice but not her voice. Haven't heard any of the performances this week yet though. Don't know Scotty or Lauren's songs. Muse will suit James, Plug In Baby would've been more fun though.

I predicted Haley's song!

I love James but he totally murdered Muse...

B3

Haley
James
Jacob

With Jacob going this week I think.

Loved Haley.

Stefano has to go. For me, the Bottom 3 should be

Lauren
Jacob
Stefano

I agree with Lauren being B3, by rights Scotty should be there with her and Jacob but i think by this point there are certain fanbases that will keep their faves out of B3 and i think Lauren and Scotty have those.

Therefore to me the only 4 in danger are Casey, Haley, Stefano, Jacob. My concern is that Jacob might get a sympathy vote for 1) The emotional side of his song ie losing his father, crying on VT and 2) the fact his backing track went wrong (drums? did they start replaying James' BT!!) If so, i think he will still be in the B3 but not leave. I think Haley will get a slight sympathy bounce not only from her B3 last wk but also her duet with Casey which to me leaves Casey and Stefano to make up B3. Casey doesnt deserve it IMO, but but by default it will be him or Haley. I actually dont think Stefano deserves to go at all this week, he did something different, took a chance, and actually did well with it but i fear that his 9 lives have run out

I think the Voting Order this week will be

1. Scotty (his fans will be a bit worried this week and vote more)
2. James
3. Lauren
4. Haley
5.Casey
6. Jacob
7. Stefano

What it SHOULD be

1. James
2. Haley
3. Casey
4. stefano
5. Jacob
6.Lauren
7.Scotty

James - YES!!!!! Perfect song for him. That is going to be AWESOME!!!!

(as you can tell I haven't seen it yet. Going to watch it tonight. I refuse to believe whoever said he murdered it....... )

All the rest... meh. Particularly Jacob's. Can't stand that song. But, as people have said, he'll get the sob story vote...

It was awesome!!!! haha best staging ever!

if anyone wants to listen to the studio versions theyre here

p.s the more i listen to the studios the more i like Stefanos, there is no way he should go tonight!

Problem with Stefano's performance, he tried to dance .. utoh, was a big NO, NO ... he proved he has as much rhythm as Pia

Pretty sure he'll be in the bottom three again this week

haha!! but as my mum said to me this morning after she had seen it oooohhh he has nice arms!! :P he may get a few votes from the girls who thought he was 'buff' the dance moves were a bit cringey i must admit!!!

Scotty was horrific, I thought Smells Like Teen Spirit by Casey was bad, this was even worse although it probably won't be him, if not him then Stefano, he's just such a boring performer, I never feel any emotion coming from his performances

Totally agree with unclekevo, Scotty was awful, Stefano is always boring.
For me Pia was also boring during the competition despite her perfect vocal abilities.

Scotty was one of the weaker ones. Could've fooled me from the voting?


They're pulling out all the stops for him. They're desperate for him to win.

He was this week (i think he has been for the last 2 weeks), but i think people just assume (as i do) that he will never drop to the B3 even if he deserves it because of his fanbase

I loved James's outfit, the best he's worn all series

Yep. They're certainly desperate for a straight male rock winner.

Excuse me Missy, Stefano's lives have not run out. He's going to make a cat look short lived! Glad you enjoyed him this week though! Didn't see your sad face the first time round though, will let you off!

Also, thanks for the heads up earlier although I wasn't online lol I reckon Closer was better suited to Fano than Bleeding Love!

xxxx

Hahaha definitely!! im so glad those spoiler choices were wrong!! I really hope he stops tonight i really do!

Haha he would've done Bleeding Love much better than Lloyd, and at least as well as Matt, but Closer was more fun! Really hope he stops until the end!

Just watched it, very good night all in all.
James and Casey were amazing, Haley was great, Lauren and Stefano (minus the dancing and "sexy" facial expressions) were good, Jacob was okay and Scotty was abysmal.

Could the way Stefano looked on stage cost Stefano?

I thought he looked fine, but I'm a huge fan and also partially sighted lol
