AMERICAN IDOL 2012: TOP 4 REVIEW AND ELIMINATION PREDICTION

We just heard the clash of the contestants with the biggest voices this season on American Idol, well, I'll be ranking their performances from best to the so-so. I'll also make my predictions, and what I have to say to each contestant.

California Dreamin'

1. Joshua Ledet - You Raise Me Up - After waiting for a long time, I finally liked Joshua's performance, he didn't oversing it for me this time, and that's the moment I've been waiting for throughout the season. Great job Joshua!
2. Hollie Cavanagh - Faithfully - I think she did great, it was smooth, her range was awesome. Better than her second song, and hopefully, this will help her make it to the hometown visit, and get a spot in the top 3.
3. Jessica Sanchez - Steal Away - It's an old song, but Jessica still nailed it. She may not have reached the top for this round, but she still stood out. Her great vocals and personality has made her what she is now, and she deserves to be in the top 3.
4. Phillip Phillips - Have You Ever Seen The Rain - He did great, too. It's not a so-so, this is the first time I liked Phillip, but he didn't still make it to the top of my list because I think the others stood out better.

Wishin'

1. Jessica Sanchez - And I Am Telling You... - I knew it! Jessica will never let go of a song like this one before this season ends. She really did great, and it was a great way to close the show!
2. Joshua Ledet - It's a Man's Man's World - He din't oversing it, and I liked it again. Joshua did a great job tonight.
3. Hollie Cavanagh - I Can't Make You Love Me - The judges may not have loved her performance, but for me, it was great. Her voice was just a little rough for this song, but I have to say that she still great.
4. Phillip Phillips - Volcano - His voice was a little dead, but since his performance was smooth, I have nothing else to say.

Overall:

1. Joshua Ledet - I may have been a little hard on Joshua for the past few weeks, but for thsi week, I have to say that he really did great.
2. Jessica Sanchez - It's kind of the first time that she reached the top of my list for the second round of the performance night, and that's a great achievement. I love Jessica, and I hope she'll be safe.
3. Hollie Cavanagh - Awesome! Just awesome! She may have failed to deliver tonight, but her voice, her range, her personality, just really lovable. I hope she will survive tomorrow's elimination, because she is really y favorite for this season.
4. Phillip Phillips - I think this guy still did great though he's in the bottom of my list. He'll surely make it because of his awesomeness, and sexiness. We'll just see.

My Top 3: Hollie Cavanagh, Jessica Sanchez, Phillip Phillips

Possible Top 3: Jessica, Joshua, and Phillip

Who do you think will go home for the tour? We'll see, so stay tuned for a live blog tomorrow!

Eliminated:

American Idol 2012 Top 4

Was America's decision right? Or is this the fourth time in a row that they tripped and didn't vote for the right one?

AMERICAN IDOL 2011 TOP 4: SECOND SHOCKER OF THE SEASON

Who would expect Pia Toscano would leave so early? This week, another shocking elimination has happened.

Over 72 million votes were cast, but only three will make it to the Homecoming. The show was opened with the boys singing a duet of "Start of Band" by Brad Paisley and Keith Urban. It was followed by a duet by the girls, with "Gunpowder and Lead" by Miranda Lambert. The performances were followed by the results, where there were three golden seats to be taken by one of the contestants. The first contestant in the top three was Lauren, giving her a chance to go back in Rossville, GA, and she really was happy, I loved her reaction.

After that, Gaga sung You and I, which was watched by the contestants through DVD, and Enrique Iglesias sings "Dirty Dancer". Jordin Sparks followed the back to back performance with her new single "I Am Woman" and after all those performances was the world premiere of Steven Tyler's "(It) Feels So good" music video.

Finally, after all those music, the results were revealed. Haley was the second person sent to the golden seats, and Scotty followed sending James Durbin home. Durbin was really emotional, as weel as Jennifer Lopez. This shocked everyone, even him. His final song was "Maybe I'm Amazed" where he had some problems with his vocals because of what just happened.


DID AMERICA GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME? I'll say NO for the SECOND TIME.

AMERICAN IDOL 2011 TOP 4: REVIEW

Last week, Lauren was in the bottom two, but she really fought her way to get some votes. Will she make it?

The worst performance of the night would go to Scotty, both of the songs he sung were really boring. I think he will make it, because of his fans.

The Leiber and Stoller songs were much better than the Inspirational songs, I thought last week, it would be the NOW songs to invite me, but I loved the THEN, and I also thought that Carole King week would be boring, but it turned out interesting.

INSPIRATIONAL SONGS:
REVIEW BY RANK:

1. Lauren Alaina - "Anyway" - this is the only song that gave life for the first round, I love that she did it, because I really believe in her, and I want her to be in that HOMECOMING.
2. James Durbin - "Don't Stop Believin'" - James was like having his concert when he sung the song, and I love how he did it, good performance for opening a show.
3. Scotty McCreery - "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)" - it's an average performance, wasn't boring, but wasn't inviting. I know Scotty will surely be in the top three, but I really hope the audience vote fair, because Scotty is not that great.
4. Haley Reinhart - "Earth Song" - there were some issues with her attitude towards the ten year judge on American Idol, she just has to face it, her performance wasn't good, and she has to accept that she has to leave now.

LEIBER AND STOLLER SONGS:
REVIEW BY RANK:

1. Lauren ALaina - "Trouble" - I love the way she sung the song, and how she stepped out of her comfort zone. Well, this is the only song familiar to me among all the other songs sung, but she really did a great job.
2. Haley Reinhart - "I (Who Have Nothing)" - I can't believe I'm saying this, but Haley connected with the audience, and she sung the song good.
3. James Durbin - "Love Potion No. 9" - I don't quite get his performance. His vocals were amazing but I need more connection.
4. Scotty McCreery - "Young Blood" - Why now Scotty? Why? I want Scotty to be deserving, but I just don't see that. I know he will stay, I just need a reason why he is deserving to stay. The song was boring and weird.

OVERALL RANKING:
MY TOP TWO:

1. Lauren Alaina - I'm glad that she finally stepped out of her comfort zone. I know she will have a good future, and I really hope she will be in the finale.
2. James Durbin - he's really singing his way to the finale, and he's doing a great job with it. I love James, and I would love it if he would win, because nobody has won the competition with his genre.

MY BOTTOM TWO: Scotty McCreery - he is really in the bottom of my list, and I want him GONE. Sorry Scotty fans.

POSSIBLY GOING HOME: Haley Reinhart - we can say that Haley has gathered fans from the past few weeks, and though I prefer her staying in the competition than Scotty, I also don't see why she's here. She did a good job, and I think that's a reason why she's here, but she's not worthy in the finale. That's all.

THE RESULTS TOMORROW:
Steven Tyler's "(It) Feels So Good" music video premiere, and Jordin Sparks will be going back to sing a single.

AMERICAN IDOL 2011 TOP 4: SUGGESTIONS FOR "LEIBER AND STOLLER"

And then there were four. 6 episodes left for American Idol, but who would make it to the tour? Will Lauren Alaina's fans be threatened for what happened last week? Will Haley keep it up with her performances? Will the tables turn for Scotty and James?

• Haley Reinhart - "I'm a Woman" and "Lucky Lips" would be perfect for Haley. Haley better do her best this week because I know that she's next.
• Scotty McCreery - Scotty is the luckiest contestant this week for he can really get Elvis' voice. Maybe he can do "Hound Dog" or "Jailhouse Rock" or any song by Elvis.
• James Durbin - I wanna see James do a twist with "On Broadway" and "Kansas City" because these songs are too old and I know that he could do something to make them a little modern.
• Lauren Alaina - Lauren can do "Trouble" and "Stand By Me". For "Trouble" she could use her high notes and take it to gather all the votes that she need to make it to the top three. ANother song that she could sing would be "Stand By Me" where she can make it a little country, and a little upbeat, and I know this is going to leave a big impact on the judges and the viewers.

WHAT I HAVE TO SAY:

• Haley Reinhart - not that I'm being unfair or anything, but I really want Haley to leave. I never really thought that this girl could make it this far. A little deserving, a little not deserving, but I really like some of her songs. All I can say is that she better do her best to get Jacob's voters.
• Scotty McCreery - he's boring sometimes, but he's deserving to make it this far. He has a future in country music, and maybe he will be a member of Grand Ole Opry.
  
• James Durbin - he really improved a lot. He struggled a little during Hollywood week, but he's really making it to the top now.
• Lauren Alaina - the youngest contestant among the top four. I think she will stay longer if her fans were threatened from last week, they'll vote a million times if they could just to keep her in the competition. Lauren will make it to the top three, and I'm sure with that.

THIS WEEK ON IDOL:

The top 4 will be taking on songs from the "Leiber and Stoller songbook" and the top three will be revealed.
Jordin Sparks will be performing, and Steven Tyler's music video premiere will be on the results show.
