My pick before anyone sings: Haley. I hope it's Jacob but I think he'll hang on for one more week.

I was thinking Jacob. Haley has really been coming on in both performances and the votes. Casey is begging his fans to vote for her. I'm happy that Jacob made it this far. I got a few good performances out of him, and that's all I can really ask for (he's not winning material).

I see we have 2 trigger happy voters in the poll once again.

I'd like to think that Haley has seen an uptick in votes but I'm really not so sure. Remember, they had Scotty as one of the "bottom 3" last week- not because he actually was one, but because either his votes were starting to decline and they wanted to get him some sympathy, or because they wanted to give Haley a break from being trotted out there in the bottom 3 again.

I'll agree that she has really stepped up her performances recently, but it often does not matter.

Well, Haley has gotten a lot of endorsements lately (Lambert, Kris Allen, Kelly Clarkson, and Casey has been plugging her since he got voted off). I'd love to see her stick around, but I can't see her cracking the top 3. I just hope she lasts till next week.

I think it's bullshit that the judges bashed Hailey when she had the best vocals so far...

Re: American Idol -- Top 5 -- Now and Then -- May 4/5

Based on tonight, I think Scotty should go home (whenever he gets out of the super low almost caricature country, he is so awful). I think Jacob will go and was a close second in being bad for me.

I give Haley credit, I thought shed be gone a while ago, but she's actually grown. Sadly, she still has some Casey growly issues, but when she's on she's on.

Tonight was James' worst night. The 3 guys should all be in the bottom.

Lauren always stops short of amazing for me. I never think she takes the songs all the way where it needs to go.

I think it is Jacob's week to go, but I have been thinking that for about 6 weeks now, so who knows.?

Glad it wasn't just me that thought that. I've liked him so far but i didn't like his first song at all. Didn't make it back from hockey to see anything else tonight.

Sporadic watcher of the show here. Haley was outstanding. Holy balls, that girl just looks and sings sexy. I didn't get the love for James. I love his taste in music - Muse and 30 Seconds to Mars have been two of my favorite bands for years, but he completely butchered both songs. And crying during your other song tonight doesn't make it a great song. These judges are so easily manipulated.

Otherwise, I think Scott is just obnoxious. Jacob seems like little more than the punch line to a joke I don't get. The blonde is pretty good.

Please get Jacob voted off, glad he has had this chance, but it is time to leave.

I think it will be Jacob, Haley, and James in the bottom 3 with Jacob going home. Good God I cannot stand to listen to that guy. Everything has to be so over the top with the vocal gymnastic bullshit. I've heard cats die more gracefully than that noise.

Fuck, I'm one song in, and I'm done with this show. what a joke. James just blew the shit out of a song that shouldn't be that hard because it was written by an extremely untalented actor who's an even worse musician. Seriously, the worst most out of tune, all over the place vocals I've ever heard on this show and the judges PRAISE it? Incredible.

I agree with you on Scotty and that description. I hope Jacob goes home. I hope Scotty doesn't make it the top 3.

Scotty has been crowned the winner a long time ago unfortunately.

30 Seconds to Mars is one of the best progressive rock bands out there. This Is War is probably one of my top-ten desert island records. But it's not for everyone, I'll agree to that.

In any event, James butchered it.

@ Jacob's way-the-fuck-over-the-top swan song. He was still hollering as the show ended. Just horrible.
