American Idol- Carole King Style

Very strange episode.  Very, very strange.  I dislike the duets.  A lot.  And I felt really bad for Jacob and James.  I mean Casey got to sing with Haley and Lauren got to sing with Scotty, so then they had Jacob sing with James.  They don't mesh well.  At all.

Jacob started the episode off.  He sang some song (oh no not my baby), but it was awful.  As my fiance said, it's time for him to go.  He also wore this outfit that looked like it came out of PeeWee Herman's closet.  Not good.

Then, there was Lauren.  She was good and sang "Where you Lead". It was fine, except for when she pulled some random boy out of the audience and sang to him.  They didn't know each other.  Very awkward.

Our first duet was between Casey and Haley.  They sang I feel the Earth move.  It was okay.  Casey stalks about the stage a bit.

Scotty was next. He sang You've got a friend.  It was awful.  Absolutely horrible.  Way too famous and by way too good of people.  He sang it with his twang and made it sound corny.  It's not.

James sang Will you still love me tomorrow.  And no, it's not really a rock song.  But he made it into a lovely rock power ballad type.  He's the winner.  Hands-down.  That's my pick.  He can sing any song and make it sound good and unique and his.

I can't remember the song Scotty and Lauren sang together.  Suffice it to say that it wasn't my favorite.

Casey sang a song call Hi-di-Ho?  I'm not really sure.  It was pretty good, but he just doesn't look natural when he stalks about the stage.  He looks angry.

Haley sang a song called Beautiful.  She did it well, even though I'd never heard the song.

Then we ended with James and Jacob.  They sang I'm into something good.  Not really good.  James did okay, but they just don't sing that well together.  My fiance always cringes when more than one person is singing.  They need more practice time if they want to continue to sing together in large crowds.  Otherwise, they just sound discordant.

Bottom three for tonight are Haley, Jacob, and Scotty(maybe wishful thinking).  Jacob is going home.
