I liked all three who were left--but I can't say this was any sort of surprise. Randy slipped and said something (wish I could remember exactly what it was) about a month ago, that totally pointed to the finals being between these two. I told my dd then, that those would be the finalists, and she didn't believe me--she does now, LOL!

I was a little disappointed, but nothing surprises me anymore about that show since last week. I thought she pulled off a great exit.

I was wondering the same about Big Mike. This news was reported a month ago, yet last nights show is live so he should've been gone. Hmmmmm! I wasn't overly impressed with last night as a whole. I love Casey. He's adorable and sings well. I just hope they don't continue the whole "kara has the hots for him" thing all season - it's going to get old. He almost looked like he wanted to laugh during his performance. I find it hard to take him seriously when they're joking about that. I also like Lee, I like his voice and seems very humble.

American Idol elimination (spoiler)
Q

Always remember, the show does what they want--the votes mean nothing more than a general opinion poll (there's a disclaimer to that fact at the end of the show, as a matter of fact). I've watched the show since the beginning, and it's obvious that often they stick someone popular, who the producers like in the bottom three, just to create a 'buzz'. It is Fox, after all--just take it for what it is--pure entertainment, NOT a show where YOU are actually picking the winner. Note, I'm not saying the votes are totally unimportant--the producers use them to find out who the public likes, but they learned early on about picking a winner who is difficult to work with--they won't let anyone win who isn't going to toe the contractual line. Paul--Love him, but he's not there to win, just to promote his band. He's pretty much said that--so there's no way, the show is going to waste the top spot on him. Although, he does have one of the most interesting and unique voices I've heard in a long time. He'll go far--he's already gotten what he entered for--name recognition. Pia is so talented, but she's vastly over-trained (she went to the performing arts high school, as you know)--to the point where she is all technical perfection and NO personality. It's annoying, sometimes to watch her sing, with her practiced hand gestures. Nothing natural about her. Don't think she's got a shot. I do like Scotty--his voice is so mature for a child, and he's finding a way to stay true to his roots and talent week after week. Don't think he'll win, but he'll be around for a lot longer. Casey's wonderful, but with his health problems, he hasn't a shot of winning--the producers aren't going to pin the responsibility of heading months worth of concerts on someone who may miss half of them for health reasons. And he hasn't been growing the past few weeks. Having a mental block here--the kid with tourette's? He's great--even though he's a rocker, he actually has a very, very good singing voice. Haley? There's a part of me that doesn't want to like her, and yet, I almost always find myself fascinated by her performances. She's definitely a unique specimen, isn't she? Lauren is okay. Good voice, but just a little too immature in a lot of ways for this year. It's a little sad that they opened the tryouts up to 15 year olds, because most of them simply aren't seasoned enough. At least the ones they found. Don't care for Jacob's off-key singing. Antonio annoys me--all he went through after being the victim of a drunk driver, then to be picked up for a DUI the next year? I really hope he doesn't win, for that reason alone (and he's not up with some of the others.

Well, she got her dig in at Simon and he gave her one right back but I did think it was kind of cruel the way he spoke to her at the end. I agree it was time for her to go, but Matt and Anoop better step up or they'll be next to leave. David Cook's performance was very good, and neat that they presented him with his platinum record while he was there. Suzan J

Gayle, I think you mean Allison too. Remember last year there were 2 contestants (Michael Johns and Carly Smithson) who both had had prior record deals... but neither of them made it too far in the competition. Then there was David Archuleta who had won "Star Search" and ended up in the top 2. Adam may be on broadway, but I think it's still fair that he's in the competition. Having sang on broadway may even hurt some singers since AI is not looking for that 'type' of singer. It doesn't seem to be hurting Adam though because he is very creative and 'current'.

She did pull off a great exit but I think she was shocked at first when she lost. She just had a stunned look on her face. I love her voice but they can't all win.

She was very ungracious to Lauren when her name was announced. Lauren at first didn't know whether to approach her or not.
She recovered, but not soon enough.

the first thing I said to my husband was, "she looks pi$$ed!" Her face said it all. There's no way the judges can accuratly predict the final two. They don't decide. The voters do. I just wish they had done a better job and that James was still in the show.

I agree, she did look pissed. The two I was hoping for are in. I think he'll take it all.

Haley just doesn't come across as a nice person. She couldn't take critisism from the judges, and argued back with them. Then she stood there stunned when she got booted, forgetting her manners with Lauren.
She figured she was a shoe in.
Her screaming in the songs just gave me a headache.

I am so glad Haley didn't win. Her expression when Lauren got in the top two and she didn't says it all.

We both said man that girl is P-$$edoff! her face wow not very attractive. I thought last week her actions spoke volumes when she did what she did to the judges, not a good way to start off a new career when you NEED those kinds of friends in the industry.

The 2 that won were very gracious and appreciative and surprised. I think they deserved it. They are both very young though which could be hard on them but I think both sets of parents are very grounded and will hold the reins on them, both are very spiritual too.

I feel sure there will be lots of pictures of that face Haley had, wonder how she will respond.

I was so glad to see Haley gone. She clearly thought she was going to be in the top 2 and was very upset when she got voted out.

DH and I picked Scotty and Lauren as the top 2 from the 1st audition.

Interesting how we all interpret her reaction differently. I texted my husband the result last night and added that she went out as a class act. I thought she was very gracious and thankful to have had this opportunity, she held her composure, exhibited maturity -- and I think she knows (and maybe even by not winning) that she has a successful career ahead of her.

Go Scotty!

Maura, I think it was just her initial reaction. She had a look of shock and disappointment... after the first minute she regained her composure and I thought she went out very well.

I agree with lydia1959 but I think it would be hard for anyone to control in that situation. She's a beautiful young lady and I loved her voice. I just like Scotty better. I'm anxious to see how he will turn out in life. Since I first saw him I thought he could become a country superstar. Last night I was thinking that I hope it doesn't ruin him. I hope he stays a good person and doesn't fall into alcohol and drugs like many stars do. It seems that his parents want this for him. I wonder if Elvis's parents would have wanted it for him if they had known how he would turn out.

Well in spite of a season full of talented and different people America managed to pick the most white bread, karoke singing robots in the bunch.
Well done!
I will be watching The Voice on Tuesday.

Haley, I hope you have a great career!
