‘American Idol’ top 6 results live blogging
Sorry to post this (almost) late. But after two weeks unable to do this on results night, I’m back! We are all assuming Jacob Lusk is going home, which means he probably isn’t, eh?
Anyway, it’ll be good to hear from Crystal Bowersox and Bruno Mars tonight! Rumors that we’ll see Jennifer Lopez perform, too, but that has not been confirmed by “Idol.”

Disappointed with tonight’s result…not James!!!!!!! Just about anyone else could go home and I wouldn’t be too upset.

Well not many will be disappointed with Jacob, Casey or Haley, based on the comments. Wonder who?

Would be for me. She kind of reminds me of the WGWG from the last couple years. Starts off shaky then they start to get stronger every week toward the end

results begin: Haley comes to the center…reviewing Haley’s song…not good….she is safe!

Scotty front and center….jimmy gives his analysis….Scotty did a really good job with his song…..Scotty is…..Ryan isn’t going to tell us.
Lauren up next

Haley is too immature to still be here. She’s sounds fakey.

The writers have such a great sense of drama. And Ryan delivers it well
Deirdre

Scotty did a better job with his song than Lauren did with hers, imo….jimmy says Lauren only hears the negative in her critiques….jimmy thinks Lauren is here for the long run….now Lauren sits down without a result.
Casey is next

I used to like Casey. He’s become too self-conscious from all the early praise and lost his sense of himself
Ben Lurkin

8:36 pm
Oops. He does need to kill the Growl
Deirdre
April 28th, 2011
8:36 pm
Casey’s song is reviewed…always intersting but not really Idol material, imo. He will have a career in music according to jimmy who says the family dog does not vote on this show, referring to casey’s growl…….Casey sits without a result
Time for a break

I love the song in the Mustang commercial. Perfect attitude for the car

Well maybe Casey is going home; rather he go than Scotty.

James on the stage……jimmy likes last night’s James better than heavy metal James and he is safe!!!!

J Lo is right about James. I didn’t like him and now and I do. Jimmy is wrong. James can do metal and make me like–which I don’t otherwise.

Casey, Jacob, Lauren, Scotty?
Deirdre

Jacob up and waiting for review….Could Jacob be safe and Lauren, Casey and Scotty are the bottom 3??????
The other3 come to the center….Lauren is safe!
Ben Lurkin

Where did Scotty the body come from? It’s belittling, Ryan, and not funny.

8:43 pm Once he learns that he has a great voice, he will learn not to used his crutch. He has great potential. Like a young quarterback that has a killer arm learns to throw soft to the outside, which can be more effective sometimes.

Bruno Mars is surprisingly not bad. Didn’t he come from a musical family?

Deidre, James has a fastball with a wicked hook, and now he has a great change up.

After last night, I can’t see anyone else but James winning this. Of course, I’ve been wrong plenty of times

James and Lauren, with Haley as the dark-horse…..making a move to the outside in the final stretch
Deirdre

James can slam the ball into the upper left corner but he can also head the ball with a subtlety that confounds goalies.

I was so wishing he would go home this week. Out of all of them, he is not Idol material.

Casey Weirdbeard. It was time. Not disappointed with the result, except that it should have been next week, but disappointed in how Casey did over the last few weeks. Jacob? Oh come on!

Were Scotty, Casey and Jacob the bottom three? Or when Seacrest kept saying “random order” was he saying that these were not the bottom three, just the last three standing for elimination?
Ben Lurkin

Well he is going out with style.

I think the random order thing was that Scotty wasn’t second from the bottom…which means Jacob was….again!

Was hoping for Jacob to go home, but am fine with Casey.
Thought Crystal Bowersox looked and sounded great. Looks as if she has lost weight. Maybe married life agrees with her.

Crystal was very good, but I bought her album and thought it was disappointing overall. She really doesn’t like her mama.

Rejoice small-minded trailer trash haters………….but see who makes a fine living singing, playing and writing music that you will never understand. Casey is a rare talent, lost on your ilk……..but he’ll be fine and you’ll still be you.

I love me some Casey, but I realize his style is not really Idol material. I’m disappointed it wasn’t Jacob. I’m with Queen D, I just can’t handle the operatic take on good music much longer…

I am in Indonesia so I do not see the show (on Star World) until approximately 11 hours after it airs. I think you should let the contestants sing next week before deciding who is the next to go. Jacob could have a blow out performance. Right now it’s 8:15 in the morning and I have to get to work.

I’m not disappointed that Casey went home. Sometimes he was very good, but more often lately he was absolutely painful to listen to.
I assume Jacob will go home next week. Haley has improved her song choices and therefore improved her performances.
I’ve assumed from the beginning that Lauren would win, but now I’m not as sure. I don’t think Haley will win, but James or Scotty have a pretty good shot.

Someone asked me this question tonight, just thought I’d throw this out as he is a bit of an oddsmaker: “Think about this carefully – if you are a viewer that wishes to get someone to end-up with the least votes, get them out of the competition at last – then who should you be voting for? Will voting for the front-runner really help accomplish that? or would it be more likely that casting 50 votes for another, weaker in the polls contestant, would help serve that objective. “
