I recall back when Chris Daughtry was voted off I vowed never to watch again but tonight as my, and I'll say it again, my FAVE contestant EVER on American Idol was voted off I'll watch again but I will also know that we have a #Winner and no matter what Paul does he's not going to be fading away fast.
The Grand Magnolias were there this weekend, Paul was also in the deadly #1 slot.....was he the worst of the night? NO! Will he come out post Idol just fine? YES!!!!
I loved that he was wearing his band shirt tonight, I knew if he was left with Stefano in the bottom it was going to hurt....people and teen girls are rooting for Stefano. Paul is a seasoned performer and with his band can go far! I don't want to say this was a launch for them because they have been doing so much but this was a huge thrust in the right direction. I've never been more excited to see an artist come out of American Idol......now I think I will be able to focus a bit more on the others, Lauren for the WIN!

American Idol TOP 8 - Sing Off
I'm SO lucky to still be able to watch Idol at 5pm because Canucks Playoff hockey starts tonight!!! Starting next week though I will be heading east, moving to Toronto...thank you Mr.PVR inventor!
Thoughts while we go...Top 8 lets go!
Why does Jlo have cotton candy stuck to her dress? Regardless being voted People's World's Most Beautiful person, I guess she can wear anything!
Music from the Movies:
PAUL: OMG Love love the suit, his band is in the crowd tonight...please Paul, do the undie slide!!!! Did Jimmy say BeatBox in the middle... BLAKE LEWIS, they are calling for you!!! I have a feeling we are going to have some funky dancing going on!!! Can this guy do anything wrong??? Working the stage, being his own quirky self...love it!!! Great performance! Lots of energy, he's just a performer that has the best suits ever!!! My dad does not like Paul at all...I just confirmed and am going to yell this...PAUL MCDONALD IS, OUT OF 10 SEASONS OF AMERICAN IDOL, MY FAVE!!!!
Lauren: SO glad she picked this song, it's perfect for her!!! Not even to the first verse and I'm already dying to buy it on iTunes!!! DAMN girl...we have an top 2 right here!!! She looks the part tonight, is singing the part...she could take season10 Idol!!! CHILLS!!! I said before she started this she was going to knock it out of the park...I think she just hit it around the world and back again.
REEEEEEEEWIND....mom just came back in the room and since she missed Paul we're watching him again WOOHOO SCOOOOOOOORE...thanks Dad, now keep your comments to yourself!!!
Stefano- I feel for this guy, he's really been going through the crap from the fans....he deserves to be here and I believe he has it in him to go pretty far! Great song for him..he said he was going to bring the beast this week! I think he's doing this one for the ladies. He's really worked on what the judges have said and is using it well...look at those eyes staying open, look at his connection...something Pia didn't work on ;) YES there is the BEAST!!!!!! another one I can't wait to hear the full version cause I wanna see more of those notes!!!!
Scotty: OH MY GAWD this is going to be good but can someone once again PLEASE tell him to hold the mic in his hand not the fingertips! oh now he changed it...Scotty, I liked that song damnit. Mic is NOT a flute!!!! HOLD IT! This kid still makes me smile though...I don't even know the song but I'm liking it. I'm hearing more of the backups than him though. Nice vocals when you could hear them but Scotty, you shot yourself in the boot...you should have stuck with the other song, bottom 3?
Casey: Beard trimmed a bit!!! It's not as pubie ;) MUCH BETTER! Pick a damn song man! I was excited for Phil Colins and now he's picked something that I think may just land him in the bottom 3! OH there goes his "I'm gonna take a shit" growl!!! I mean it's cool and everything but take Jimmy's advice, he's there for a reason...he wasn't asking you to stay from who you were but was guiding you. Personally not a fan this week, nice vocal...sick of the facial expressions. I'm not denying his talent, I love the big ass bass but I really wanted his second choice song.
Hailey: WOW boots! First note...OUCH....but I have no fear she'll pick it up. She's grown SO much on this show and I love it as I've been a huge fan of hers. Her OHHHH OHHH OHHHHH's were the perfect about of breathy and right into the shouts for the chorus. I wish someone would work on her movement with her a bit, she just needs to let go..she seems a lil stiff on stage. Alright song choice, I'm worried about her this week because Stefano brought it so hard.
Jacob: Oh buddy, I'm counting on you to suck tonight ;) Sorry folks but he's mine to go this week...vocally he's good, I like his personality but as they are saying CORN!!!! Lets do a bubba gump corn still...corn cakes, pop corn, corn on the cob, corn bread...oh wait he's singing now. Hey Celine Dion do you need an opening act in Vegas???? Another one I can't wait for the full version only cause I like pretending I can belt this song too. UH OH....that note, did did the Jacob sweet spot and it wasn't just at the end of the tune, good listening to the judges. Crap Jacob, really? did you haaaaaaaaaaaaave to do that????? I'm screaming I HATE YOU I HATE YOU!!!!! WHY WHY WHY....now one of my faves have to go home. Best performance....now please bring back Jennifer Hudson to do a duet with him in the final!
James: wow...James is going from rock to Metal....back to his roots, good for him!!!!! People are gonna love it or hate it BUT I'm sitting next to my mom, she's tapping her foot and normally she'd say turn that down. My dad is now standing up watching saying WOW. FINALLY, I'm not hearing a Lambert/Daughtry mix...that was JAMES!!! Dad just said he stole the show, mom's foot is still going....YES JAMES YES!!!!!!!!!!! Jlo I was just going to say that, that was real....that was James!
We had pop, quirk-rock, jazz, metal....WHAT???? Best season EVER!!!! How can I even pick bottom 3???

Mom- Paul, Casey, Hailey

American Idol TOP 9 - Shocker
I missed blogging last week, don't worry it wasn't because I was in some padded room after Paul landed himself in the bottom three...after this week I will just prepare myself for whatever happens, regardless this season is going to see a lot of careers.
Fast thoughts on performances-
Jacob- Meh, it was nice and he's good when he's tone down but I'm feeling the other contestants much more...sorry someone has to go every week and I'd like to see him go sooner rather than later.
Hailey- Great song choice as the judges have been asking for Joplin, her performance was a lil growly for me...the studio version is much better. She's improving week by week and I'm glad she's sticking around
Casey- Slap happy bassy, I was warned about his facial expressions so feared that watching the performance would ruin the song...wasn't as bad as the warning and I really like what he did with the song. One of my faves on the studio album this week!
Scotty- Stop holding our mic like a flute the damn thing is going to slip out of your finger tips! Good, safe, the girls love him
Pia- Knocked it out of the park vocally, looked stunning and I've come to notice she can only hit those sweet notes if she turns her head up and to the right...seriously go back and watch all her performances! Make a drinking game out of it, I bet you'll be wasted after one song!!!
James- I can't get out of my head how much of an Adam Lambert performance that was, James killed it though...there hasn't been as much talk about him lately but watch out for him
Lauren- Stunning, great vocal...the kid could take it all. I'm not sure if I liked the song choice as it's been done so many times
Stefano- Most improved on the show so far, he has taken the judges points and is clearly working on them. I'm glad he's still around but fear it may only be for a couple more weeks, shame cause he's like my hometown one to cheer for.
Paul- Again proving he's a seasoned performer! Even in the guitar breakdown he's working the crowd and mic. I've always loved the song so to hear him do it was great. Deff put his Paul twist on it and ended the night on a high note.
RESULTS!
Did America get it wrong? YES, vocally Pia is one of the best the Idol stage has ever seen. I'm shocked she went home so soon as there are at least 2-3 that could easily have gone before her and then have the upset happen. Did she fall victim of the young girls and their fast voting fingers....perhaps BUT then why is Lauren still there? Clearly Pia has out performed her each week (as many have said) perhaps Pia wasn't showing enough personality, perhaps people want something a bit different...perhaps the American Voting people are just really stupid, after all we have seen them send home HUGELY successful people like Jennifer Hudson and Chris Daughtry far too early...so you know what that means, this is only the beginning for Pia!
