Rock and Roll American Idol

Last night on American Idol, the theme was Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  I'm not sure why they did Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  My guess is they added Hall of Fame so that Steven could got to the Hall of Fame and make fun of his own clothes.  Which was a rather ridiculous opening sequence, but at least we got to hear him sing.  So that was good.

Most of the contestants did fairly well.  The judges liked them all.  I thought that Haley was little week on Janis Joplin.  I think her voice is just a little too pretty for that.  Scotty sang Elvis.  Which could have been really good, but he really reminded me of a lounge act.  A good lounge act, but a lounge act nonetheless.  I love Casey and his upright bass.  It's wonderful.  He managed to do a really good job with his song, while not sounding like karaoke.  Speaking of which, hello Stefano.  I love Stefano.  He's so sweet and cute and feels genuine, but the song choice, not so much.  My least favorite performance was Pia.  Probably because her outfit was horrible.  It was like a muu-muu that had been changed into a one piece coverall.  So strange.  Also, she is far too used to just standing around on stage and looked really forced when she moved about. 

James did an amazing job with his song.  It was quiet, but still full of his intensity.  He's definitely going all the way, man.  Paul also tried to switch it up, but I just can't say he did it well.  He looked like Paul on drugs, moving twice as fast and twice as much.  He already moves about enough as it is.  Lauren did a good job.  That's pretty much it.  Jacob sounded just like Jacob.  I hate his voice.  It just makes me cringe.  I don't know why.  Also, the way he looks when he sings...not pretty.

So, my prediction for tonight for the bottom three is Pia, Jacob, and Stefano.  With Pia going home.  She did too little too late.
