We'll also see a live performance from season 7 winner, David Cook with "The Last Song I'll Write For You", and a pre-recorded performance of "Dance Again" from our lovely judge, and the best judge this season, for giving good comments and criticisms, Jennifer Lopez.

AMERICAN IDOL 2011 TOP 3: GOODBYE GROWLING, THE COUNTRYBOY AND THE COUNTRYGIRL IN THE FINALE

The show started with Ryan announcing that there were 95 million votes sent after the performance show last night. Jimmy then predicted that one of the finalists would be a guy, and obviously, he was talking about Scotty.

They then made fun of Randy's favorite line of the season "You're in it to win it." There were two stools on stage where the top two will be sitting by the end of the show.

Haley's hometown video was then show, where 30,000 fans attended followed by the Ford Music video. We also got a performance from the Italian boyband Il Volo.

Scotty's hometown video followed the boyband's performance, and then Nicole Scheringer performed with 50 Cent with her new single "Right Here". The video for Lauren's homecoming was then viewed.

The results followed, and Scotty was announced safe first. Lauren was then announced safe next, and Haley was eliminated.

This would really be an extra fun finale, two young artists, both country singers, but will it be the country boy or the country girl? The top 2 performance will be on Tuesday next week, same time, and on Wednesday, the finale would follow with surely lots of surprises.

What are your thoughts about the top 2? Did America get it right? (I think YEAH!) Leave a Comment

AMERICAN IDOL 2011 TOP 3: REVIEW

Three songs tonight, I never thought that the show would last for two hours with only nine songs performed. The top three has three songs to sing, one is the personal choice, the other is Iovine's choice, and the last one will be chosen by one of the judges.

ROUND 1 Contestant's Choice.
Best: Haley Reinhart - unanimous REVIEW BY RANK:

1. Scotty McCreery - "Amazed" by Lonestar - this was his nest performance of the season for me... I think he will be in the finale, and now I see why he's still in the competition. There is real talent within him.
2. Haley Reinhart - "What Is and What Should Never Be" by Led Zeppelin - she did a good job, but I like Scotty's performance better. I'm sometimes annoyed by her voice.
3. Lauren Alaina - "Wild One" by Faith Hill - there are some parts of the song which I didn't really like, maybe she would be better with "Independence Day" by Martina McBride. I would love to see Lauren on the finale though.

ROUND 2 Iovine's Choice
BEST: Scotty McCreery - JLo and Randy; Steven's vote goes to Lauren
REVIEW BY RANK:

1. Lauren Alaina -"If I die Young" by The Band Perry - the song really touched me. I agree with Steven that round 2 ges to Lauren Alaina. She's young, and she already have that in her. Also an awesome song choice by Jimmy Iovine there.
2. Scotty McCreery - "Are You Gonn Kiss Me or Not" by Thompson Square - this is another good performance from Scotty. I think he is really in it to win it now, and I take back everything I said, Scotty is deserving to be in the top three.
3. Haley Reinhart - "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac - I love this song, but when Haley sang it boringly, and I felt that with her little sleepy voice at the start of the song, and she's sometimes losing her voice, so I think Didi's version is still better. The Upbeat part saved the performance.

ROUND 3 Judges' Choice
BEST: Lauren Alaina - JLo and Randy voted for her; Steven voted for Haley.
REVIEW BY RANK:

1. Lauren Alaina - "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack - I love this song, and I love her. Her take on the song was really amazing, and I think she will be able to go on. She's going to grow, and she will be more awesome.
2. Scotty McCreery - "She Believes in Me" by Kenny Rogers - the last performance of the night for Scotty. His performances were all great, I have nothing more to say about him.
3. Haley Reinhart - "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morisette - (All the things I'll be saying will be based on my opinion, I didn't mean to offend anyone) Randy did a complet sabotage. This is one of Haley's worst performance for this season. I preferred Haley in the finale more than Scotty, but now, with two performances in the bottom of my list, I think it's Scotty.

OVERALL:

• Lauren Alaina - she did an awesome job, and I can see her grow in the show. She's young, that's why she can't really take much of the criticism, but she will learn, and I know that she is deserving to stay in the competition.
• Scotty McCreery - the little girl/mothers/chick-magnet of the show. I definitely think he will survive the elimination tomorrow because of all the fans that he made during the show.

POSSIBLY GOING HOME: Haley Reinhart, two performances gone wrong. Her voice is really flat, and I don't see people buying her album after she wins the show. I want to see her in the finale performing with the eliminated contestants, and I hope that none of her fans, or anyone will take this as a big deal.

THE RESULTS TOMORROW:
Nicole Scheringer will perform "Right There" and the music video premier of Beyoncé's "Run The World (Girls)".

AMERICAN IDOL 2011 TOP 3: WHO CHOSE WHICH SONG

These are some of the songs the top three will be singing next week:

• Haley Reinhart - "You Ought to Know" by Alanis Morisette
• Scotty McCreery - "She Believs in Me" by Kenny Rogers
• Lauren Alaina - "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack

These songs were chosen by the judges, but which judge chose which song?

Suggestion for Jimmy Iovine and the Contestants

Jimmy Iovine will also be choosing songs, he knows better than the contestant, so he better choose the best song for them.

Here are some of the best songs for the contestants:

Haley Reinhart

• "Mercy" by Duffy
• "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga
• "Love The Way You Lie" by Rihanna

Scotty McCreery

• "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)" by Luke Bryan
• "Kiss A Girl" by Keith Urban
• "American Saturday Night" by Brad Paisley

Lauren Alaina

• "Undo It" by Carrie Underwood
• "Because of You" by Kelly Clarkson
• "Independence Day" by Martina McBride

My Thoughts:

• Haley Reinhart - I think Haley has a chance to be in the finale, but for this week, she better choose some of the current songs so she could gather America's votes.
• Scotty McCreery - I don't know about everyone, but I think Scotty should sing something upbeat this week because he might be sent home.
• Lauren Alaina - my favorite. I think she should do some songs which are extra powerful, where her vocals will be challenged so she will be able to invite James' voters.
