Weeks have passed, and we're slowly dwindling down to two. Tonight, only 5 contestants will be left on stage to make their dreams come true. Adding a little entertainment, we have Stefano Langone and Katy Perry perform on the Idol stage, and we have Ryan Seacrest and Kieran to build up the tension as they dim the lights.

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: TOP 6 SUGGESTION AND CHALLENGE SONGS FOR 'QUEEN' WEEK

The Top 6; CREDITS: americanidol.com

Last week was the most shocking week because one of the best contestants has left us, it's even more shocking than Jessica's supposed to be departure, but we all have to move on and let the judges be more bias so that the best contestants will leave first. This week, the top 6 will be singing songs by Queen and another random song choice, and my job today is to suggest and challenge (Only for Queen, btu I may do a suggestion for the random songs too, soon). Let's start!

Elise Testone
SUGGETION: Innuendo - This song is just so Elise. It has that growly thing going on and that's just Elise. he has to work really hard if she doesn't want to be in the bottom three again. he;s a great artist but I think she should always step it up every time she performs.
CHALLENGE: I Want It All - Another rock/growly song for Elise. It's a hard song to cover, but it can help Elise escape the bottom three, only if she can send the message to America. She wants it all, the title, the fame, and the votes.

Joshua Ledet
SUGGETION: Another One Bites the Dust - Joshua can really funk it up with this song, I really don't know which song I should suggest to him, and when i listened to this, I remembered Joshua. He can sing the song, and it's perfect for him.
CHALLENGE: Too Much Love Will Kill You - This is actually an easy challenge because it's perfect for Joshua's voice, what's a challenge about it is the delivery and the connection with the song. We'll see how he's gonna work with it if he sings this song.

Skylar Laine
SUGGETION: We Will Rock You - This is the best song for her, and I think she's gonna nail it. I can't say anything more.
CHALLENGE: One Vision - I love this song, I think Skylar Laine can rock this out. Now, why did I make it a challenge? It's a song about religion, and singing songs about religion is hard, but on the bright side, it's about unity, she can definitely work this one out.

Jessica Sanchez
SUGGETION: Don't Stop Me Now - I wanna see Jessica have fun again, and this is a song which talks about having a good time, and at the same time, not stopping to live the life you want to live. She can send a message to the viewers that she's gonna fight until the end.
CHALLENGE: Under Pressure - It's a song usually covered by guys, and that's the challenge, twist it, and make it perfect. We'll see what Jessica can really do.

Phillip Phillips:
SUGGETION: Killer Queen - It's a fun song, and though I know he's gonna use his style again with the song, it's not going to be boring because of the vibe of the song. It's just perfect for him, all he needs is more good storytelling with rhythm.
CHALLENGE: Body Language - This song will steal a lot of votes for sure if Phillip can sing it perfectly. It's the type of song song outside his boundaries, and he has to show sexiness for plus points.

Hollie Cavanagh
SUGGETION: I Want To Break Free - The only problem with the song is that it can sound karaoke if it's not sung perfectly, but I know Hollie can pull it off, she just needs to practice a little bit of this and that, and she's good, no, great!
CHALLENGE: Bohemian Rhapsody - It's one of Queen's biggest songs, Hollie can sing it, but it would be hard for her because she has to do a lot of practice, and she has to work with pitch control if she wants to stay on track. It's a hard song, but it can be Hollie's redemption.

There you have it! What do you think should they sing?

AMERICAN IDOL 2011 TOP 6: NO ONE IS SAVING ANYONE THIS TIME

As the finale gets closer and closer, contestants are being sent home one by one. Yesterday, the top 6 took on songs by Carole King, but who did well? And who didn't get America's vote?

Steven is the cover of the Rolling Stones magazine, and the Idols are singing a Medley of Carole King songs.

The Ford Music Video is previewed and the TOP 6 Contestants sung "Our House" where they're shown drawing furniture inside a house.

Crystal Bowersox is back and sung her song "Ridin' with the Radio" and kept the beat, though the clapping audience were off the beat, she even brought along her carpet, and mic stand. Then BREAK.

Lauren was asked with "What is the Hardest thing About Idol?" and she answered Missing her family and friends would be the hardest one. She even sent a prayer out to the south, and into her hometown for the calamity that happened.

Haley was first asked to go to the center of the stage, and she was safe. Scotty was next to be at the center stage, and he was asked to relax. Lauren was also sent to the center stage, but were both told to hang on. Casey was sent to the center of the stage., and he was also told to Hang on. Then the show took a Break.

After the break, James was sent to the center of the stage, and he was safe.

Lauren, Scotty, and Casey are asked to the center stage with Jacob Lusk. Lauren was safe, and the three left still hanging from the results are Scotty, now that's shocking, Casey, and Jacob... But these contestants aren't really official bottom three, they were just left hanging on, because they were sent to safety in random order. Let's just assume.

After those results, Bruno Mars sung his pre-recorded performance of "The Lazy Song" where he performed like he was on his own Living Room.

Jacob Lusk was announced safe first, then Scotty was also safe. Casey Abrams is eliminated, singing "I Put A Spell on You" by hugging all the judges, kissing all the audience, and tackling all of his fellow contestants. Your top 5 are Lauren Alaina, James Durbin, Jacob Lusk, Scotty McCreery, and Haley Reinhart.


What will happen next week? Will the last girl standing be finally announced? Will be equal to the top 4 with 2 girls and 2 guys? DID AMERICA GET IT RIGHT? Please Leave a Comment.

AMERICAN IDOL 2011 TOP 6: REVIEW

Last week, it was Stefano, now who would it be this week?

This week, I'm sure Scotty will be safe, he's on my top three as well as James and Lauren.

I always said before they performed that "Carole King" song s will be boring, but the way they took the songs wasn't. I really enjoyed the show, they just need a little more invitations to grab some attention.

MY TOP THREE:

1. Scotty McCreery - "You've Got A Friend" - I wasn't bored with his performance this time, because the song is really beautiful. Nice song choice for him, though I prefer Lauren singing this song. He will definitely be safe, and Scotty is coming back for me.
2. James Durbin - "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" - I enjoyed his performance so much, soft yet semi-Upbeat.
   
3. Lauren Alaina - I don't still see her being in the bottom three, and I think she will gain a lot of support from America since her hometown lost power. Earlier, Scotty and Lauren were both trending on twitter. She brought swagger to the stage according to Randy and I agree with taht.
   

MY BOTTOM THREE:

• Jacob Lusk - "Oh No Not My Baby" - he had fun, and he performed it in an interesting way. A really good way to open the show.
• Casey Abrams - I'm getting sick of his take on the songs. He must stop scaring us with those facial expression and voice which is a kind of slight growl. They saved him, and again, he must prove to everyone that he is worthy to be saved.
• Haley Reinhart - she did really good. But I didn't feel any invitation from her for us to listen. America will be voting for her I know that, but I think her votes will not be enoguh for her to stay in the competition.

THE DUETS:

1. Lauren and Scotty - they trended on Twitter, their duet is awesome, and they must make an album together! 'nuff SAID!
2. Jacob and James - their performance was average. They somewhat invited me to listen, I guess some people enjoyed it too.
3. Casey and Haley - they did "I Feel The Earth Move" but it was rally boring for me, because it was so Common. They have chemistry singing together, but I think they're both not safe in the eyes of America.
   

POSSIBLY GOING HOME: I have a feeling that Haley will be going home this time. She was in the bottom three four times, and with her performances from the previous weeks, she's not doing good enough to stay ion the competition, I never even thought that she would make it this far. However, she will really make good music someday. I am not a Haley fan, but I'll really look forward to her songs someday.

THE RESULTS TOMORROW:
Crystal Bowersox and Bruno Mars will be performing on the Idol stage, and one of our finalists will be leaving us again.

WHAT THE AMERICAN IDOL 2011 TOP 6 SHOULD DO FOR "CAROLE KING" WEEK

This week on American Idol, the top 6 finalists will be taking on songs by the chart-topping singer during her time, Carole King. Each contestant will be taking on a song by Carole King, or maybe a song written by Carole King - anyways, almost all, or maybe all of the songs she sung were written by her.

• Jacob Lusk - "Been to Canaan" is a song that Jacob could really take, and change interestingly. "Goin' Back" is another good song for him, but I'm not really sure for Jacob this week. I just hope he survives and he picks a really great Carole King song, because I can't think of any song for him, though I did a lot of research.
• Haley Reinhart - "I Feel the Earth Move" really suits her voice, and I think this is the best Carole King song ever. She could also do "It Might As Well Rain Until September" because it also suits her voice perfectly. I just hope no more growling, no more air-heady-ish reactions, and more criticism from the judges for her because there are times in a song where she is losing her voice. Haley is one of the people I think would be in the Bottom Three this week. She could also do "Jazzman".
• Casey Abrams - he could definitely go for "It's Too Late" because there's no other song I could think of for him. The genre of this song is Jazz Fusion anyway, so maybe he could really do well with this one. If he want to try other things, he could play with "Only Love is Real" where I think everyone would have fun, because it is a really nice song. If he wouldn't do well this week, he will be in the bottom three but I have a feeling that he will not be eliminated, YET.
• Scotty McCreery - "So Far Away" would be good for him, since it's a Folk Rock song. Reba McEntire covered this on her show in 2002 and Reba is a country singer, so maybe, this would be a good song choice for Scotty. If he wants to take a risk, he should then do "Smackwater Jack" because it sounds like an Elvis song, and the way he takes on an Elvis song is really amazing, he could get the judges back if he sings this song.
• Lauren Alaina - "Now and Forever" and "Nightingale" are some of the songs that she could sing, but I want to see more from her, where she will really take a risk, she could do "You've Got a Friend" in a really different, but better way, by maybe taking the song with a higher voice, because Carole King's take on the song, though it was flat, it sounded really interesting, and that's what really matters right now, taking on good "song choices" in an interesting way, using a really great voice. She could even win America's hearts with this song.
• James Durbin - he could definitely change the way "Where You Lead" was sung, and turn it into Metal. Another song is "The Loco-Motion" which is way too far out of James' song choices, but he could experiment with it. He could also do "Chains" so he could continue having fun on the idol stage.
