AMERICAN IDOL 2011 TOP 7: THE SOUL BROTHER SAYS GOODBYE

Yesterday, the top 7 took on songs from the 21st Century and the 21st century Invasion continues today with the performances of our hopefuls, and celebrity guests.

52 Million votes were cast the night before, and of course, we're all excited or sad to see who didn't get much of those votes.

The show was opened with Haley Reinhart, Jacob Lusk, Stefano Langone, and Lauren Alaina performing "Hey Soul Sister" by Train, I have to say that the performance really went good, unlike what happened yesterday where there was a technical mishap with Jacob's performance.

Ryan asked Casey and Jacob to stand up, then he talked to them about the judges' comments the night before. Ryan then announced that Jacob is in the bottom three, and Casey was sent to safety.

The results were followed with David Cook singing "The Last Goodbye" from The Loud Morning, David's second major-label album. The album will be released on 6/28/11.

Casey Abrams, James Durbin, and Scotty McCreery then performed "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay. After their performance, more results. Lauren, James, and Stefano were asked to stand. Lauren and James were both safe, while Stefano was sent to the stools to join Jacob in the Bottom Three. Haley was also sent to the stools to complete the bottom three, and Scotty was safe.

Haley was sent to safety first. After the fillers, Katy Perry performs "E.T." with ouf course, Kanye West from her studio album "Teenage Dream"

On the final part of the show, Stefano Langone was eliminated and Jacob Lusk is safe. James cried because his bestfriend leaves the show.

The Last Girl standing is not announced yet this year, maybe one of these girls will be in the finale. I hope they do two songs next week with their theme Carole King.

What do you think will happen next week? DID AMERICA GET IT RIGHT? PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT.

AMERICAN IDOL 2011 TOP 7: REVIEW

Last week, Paul was eliminated from the show, who would it be this week?

Again, this week, Scotty will definitely be safe because of the pre-adolescent girls out there, and maybe some adolescents.

The show was opened with the eliminated contestants singing "So What" by Pink. The best performance of the night for me would be Casey's "Harder to Breathe". This time, unlike last week, not all the performances were great. The performance of the night which didn't quite satisfy me was Stefano Langone's "Closer".

MY TOP THREE:

1. Casey Abrams - "Harder to Breathe" - he definitely did it, he even kissed Jennifer Lopez. After that save, Casey is growing more and more tougher in this competition. His take on the songs are quite scary though, with his facial reactions, and voice.
2. James Durbin - "Uprising" - I remembered Adam Lambert in his performance.
3. Lauren Alaina - "Born to Fly" - it wasn't a very famous "KNOWN" song, but I really loved the way she took it.

For Jacob Lusk, what I noticed is that he messed up the lyrics of "Dance with my Father" where maybe, he was fighting back the tears or he doesn't like saying Life removed his innocence, because he went "Back when I was a child... Before *moved away the mic for a moment* all the innocence.

MY BOTTOM THREE:

• Haley Reinhart - "Rolling in the Deep" - good performance but not good enough. She definitely got the song right, but the way she took it wasn't good enough -in my opinion.
• Scotty McCreery - "Swingin'" - I've had enough of Country from Scotty. It's time to start taking risks on this phase of the competition, but he would definitely be safe because of the girls out there.
• Stefano Langone

POSSIBLY GOING HOME: Stefano Langone; he did a very well known song, but he didn't do it in an INTERESTING way. I really want him to stay in the competition, but based on his last performance, I guess it's time for him to leave. We don't know, maybe the tables will turn and it would be Jacob Lusk or Haley Reinhart.

THE RESULTS TOMORROW:
David Cook will be performing "The Last Goodbye" and Katy Perry will also perform "E.T." Who is Katy's favorite this year, and what do you think will she wear tomorrow?

WHAT THE AMERICAN IDOL 2011 TOP 7 SHOULD DO FOR "SONGS FROM THE 21st CENTURY"

Next week, after the soft rock singer is Eliminated, the top 7 will be taking on songs from the 21st Century, which is again, not specific. Each contestants will be taking on songs released from 2000 to 2011. Of course, the one who sings something current would get the hearts of the voters, and make him or her stay in the competition.

• Scotty McCreery - I need something new from him, he has to be alive, so he has to sing something like "American Saturday Night" by Brad Paisley, because for me, he's been boring for the past few weeks, he could sing folk country, but we need something modern, other than that Josh Turner song "Your Man".

• James Durbin - The only song I see which could do something good to him would be "Thnks fr th Mmrs" by Fall Out Boy. Other than this song, I can't think of any other songs, because I don't see James doing a My Chemical Romance song. Anyways, whatever he does, I'm sure it would turn out great, and people would vote for him, and he won't be in the Bottom Three again this week.

• Lauren Alaina - she could definitely sing something like "Terrified" by Katharine McPhee. This song would do something good to her since it's still a little current, though it was released in 2010. If she wants to saing country, she could sing "So Small" "Cowboy Casanova" "Undo It" or "Temporary Home" or any of the songs by Carrie Underwood, these songs would also do something good for her and keep her away from the threatening Bottom Three.

• Casey Abrams - "Breakeven" by The Script. It will be absolutely amazing if he will sing it. "Hey Soul Sister" by Train and "Stay The Night" by James Blunt would also be perfect for his vopice. He doesn't want the judges regretting their save, because that caused Pia's elimination. He better make it to the top five, because the judges would really regret their save. "Heartless" by Kanye West would also change him in this competition, because this song is definitely different from his Genre.

• Haley Reinhart - I hope she'll do "Mercy" by Duffy. This would be the best song for her voice, but she should do less of the growling, and start to be a little humble, and quit saying "So, it's just the song choice." in a way that she's saying she is too great, but the song she took isn't. Another song would be "So What" by Pink, where I'll think, if ever she did, would receive really good comments from the judges, not only from the song choice, as well as from the performance. Another song I see that would be really awesome for her would be "Battlefield" by our American Idol 2007 winner Jordin Sparks, maybe this would let her grab those Jordin fans during season 6.

• Jacob Lusk - he should do "Jesus Take The Wheel" by Carrie Underwood and surprise everyone. He has to perform just like the way he performed "God Bless the Child" on Hollywood Week because he is deserving to stay.

• Stefano Langone - "Let's Just Fall In Love Again" by Jason Castro would be awesome for him. Stefano's performance on TOP 8 was Great, but he had to stop being boring with those songs he's singing. The other great song for him would be "Something 'Bout Love" by David Archuleta or "Haven't Met you Yet" by Michael Buble because they fit his voice perfectly, with a better connection to the audience at home and in the studio.
