His rankings and mine are the same, so I know my day is off to a harmonious start.

2. "RE: Rankings - Top 6" |
Not quite a night that does Carol King justice, but not quite a train wreck, either.1. James - Masterful performance by James with this song. Touching solo vocal intro to start with, picking up into a rock song playing the electric guitar. Although he was barely moving in rhythm at the mike, softly switching between a few chords, his voice and performance had a hidden, yet quite visible and audible, intensity to it. At this point, I'd say he would be the favorite to win this season, given his versatility and intensity. 2. Scotty - Considering the song and lyrics, a fine (and even a privileged) arrangement for Scotty. He does well in this setting, taming down his expressions compared to previous weeks and is vocally good as ever except for the high note sustains (which it's clear he's experimenting with). This was another side to Scotty well worth watching and listening to. Thumbs up. 3. Casey - Perfect song choice and an interesting arrangement for Casey in showcasing his growling voice and stage presence. He seemed a bit tight, perhaps a little too intense, where a more relaxed demeanor may have made it better yet. Like Randy, I dig how Casey can bring something new and different with each performance. Vocally, he doesn't compare to some of the other guys in style and range, but after the first bar, in a good way, you know it's Casey. Thumbs up, but he's got a big challenge ahead to overcome the likes of the energetic James and charismatic Scotty in votes. 4. Hayley - Moo-utiful! Hayley does the usual vocal gymnastics in a fast pace with enough background music and choruses to get away with the slides and fades in her notes. No growls tonight, but we'll see if we hear any during tomorrow night's results show. Although we can give Hayley credit for improving over the last several weeks, abandoning some of her karaoke moves, she's clearly not destined to be the Idol. 5. Lauren - Lauren comes out and tries to give a pop star concert performance and didn't quite shine at it. Her vocals were ok, easy enough on the ears and she appears fairly attractive. But getting that dork on stage with her and then circling around the judges and then finishing out the song sitting next to the dork isn't what America is looking to vote for. What few lady-vote male voters there are out there will switch to Hayley if she can woo them over. And girls don't like other girls already happy with their b/f. As a whole, a typical and almost already forgotten Lauren performance that was par for her course. 6. Jacob - Jacob comes on stage with yellow shoes, yellow shirt, blue vest, purple tie, black/grey & white coat and blue jeans, and you have to wonder whether wardrobe took it a little bit too far when they were told to add some color to this guy's outfit. As far as the performance went, it was rather lively but with all the background music and chorals, he didn't have the opportunity to show off his solo voice much in this piece. As a whole, outfit included, it didn't really work for me, and I share Randy's cautious (possibly futile) hope that Jacob is going to get the votes. This isn't the performance that will save Jacob from elimination.

I'm having a tough time deciding between James and Scotty for the number one slot. Both were amazing, but I think I'll have to give it to Scotty for pulling the rabbit out of a hat and doing something incredibly different!That song-"You've Got A Friend", as far as I know, or heard, hasn't been done in the country genre, and I felt, hearing Scotty sing it, it could be a number one hit today on the radio! Not just with Country fans, but Soft Rock fans as well. He did it justice all the way!! James-I have to agree with Randy, and have since day one. I think he has this competition in his pocket. It's his to win or lose, and so far, he's done everything to win. He is brilliant, shining, sweet, and his duet with Jacob, which could have been a disaster, turned out to be entertaining because of HIM! Lauren: think the finale will encase these three in this order, IMHO. She did seem a little off, emotionally last night. Could be 'that time of the month'; maybe she's reading too many idol fan garbage, or just tired of the beating she's taking. But she was still up on her vocals, as always. Hailey seems to be coasting, and while her voice is 'good', there is just something about her that does not ring IDOL to me. She is more lounge lizard, cruise singer. But I think she may have a career after this, even if it's hosting other Idol shows, like Kimberly Caldwell. Casey: good choice, and he does justice to his songs. But something about him is growing old and waring. Can't put my finger on it....Don't see him as an IDOL, either. But I do see him heading out within the next few weeks, possibly after Jacob: who should have been gone way before Pia and possibly a few others. Not going to go there-that horse has been dead for so long. He obviously has a fan base. Hey, I'm an avid church goer, but this guy is just tooooo.much. Over sings, over acts, over costumey. Prince Poppeycock-where are you to rescue us??

The fact that they were singing Carole King songs in 2011 and their parents weren't even born when all the songs were out  Horrible horrible theme I did not like it at allI watched the show in less than a half hour it was so bad and the judges comments were uselesss Jacob was screechy bad dancing
Scotty was ok in his solo but it was boring
Haley and Casey's duo was ok but not great
Lauren is always a yawnfest to me
James a capella was good but he must scream in every song and it's old
Lauren and Scotty's duo was predictable...boring
Casey song choice was odd and I'm even getting tired of growling
Haley was blah
James and Jacob's duet was hilariously bad bad dancing bad singing I would have shaken up the duets and went Lauren and James
Scotty and Haley
Jacob and Casey All of this is just IMHO YMMV

Pretty much where I wound up after a night to sleep some of the disgust off. I could rank them, but mediocre was a small step above the best in show. And after that, it becomes a war between 'put me to sleep' versus 'put me in the hospital'.

I'm starting to see some separation.Contenders:
1. James - Maybe not the best pure singer, but the best overall performer.
2. Casey - The most versatile and generally very good.
3. Haley - Getting better each week, which is always a good thing to do. Long shots:
4. Scotty - A one-trick country singer but very good at it.
5. Lauren - Has a good voice but isn't quite there yet. Long gone:
6. Jacob - Following in the footsteps of Paul and Stefano, he just isn't as talented as the top 5.

LAST EDITED ON 04-28-11 AT 11:49 AM (EST)My reply isn't just to your post, it's to all the people who are saying Jacob is long overdue to go. WIth AI song assignments and wardrobe sabotage, + singing first...it will be a surprise if he does not go tonight. Imagine, if Jacob, clothed differently, in something flattering and current, sang "You've got a friend" with out going over the top, and sang it somewhere in the second half of the show. He could have had a moment. Wonder if Jacob chose his song or was assigned it. Wonder if the wardrobe was Jacob's idea or if it was foisted upon him. Gay preppy look or such. There's plenty of song material meant for Jacob and it has not been many of the weeks. He's talented, and was there to be part of the top 10 but not to win. Not this year. And imo he knows it and that's why he's looked unhappy the past few weeks. He's probably been pocketing his wardrobe allowance instead of spending it to further his time on the show, lol! Compare Big Mike to Jacob. Big Mike made it top top 4....and I think Jacob is much more talented than Big Mike is. Interesting is that if Jacob goes, we'll have two blues/jazz singers + 2 country singers + one rocker left. Who would have thought it?

Good replies! Thank you.Estee-agree with points 4 and 6. TW--agree with all your points. It makes me remember how much more pimped Big Mike was, and how often we were reminded that Big Mike was a new dad. Jacob doesn't have a new baby to use for pimping, and when Ryan does call him out on results night, it's about the comment that Jacob is a diva. Jacob has not gotten good pimping from AI for awhile. I guess he is toast...unless his fan club is stronger than we know. I just thought he'd crack the top 4 over the jazzy singers.

Here are my rankings, based mainly on the solo performances:1. James -- once again, he was the best of the night. With his consistency while taking risks, he's the one to beat. 2. Scotty -- this was my favorite performance from him yet! This may help prove he's more than just a one-trick pony. 3. Lauren -- she was more confident this week but Scotty just did better. 4. Haley -- I think she could've done a little better, but I don't think she's going home. 5. Jacob -- for once, he did an up-tempo song! Unfortunately, the others just did better. 6. Casey -- it started out fine, but when he began growling it turned me off. Sorry.
