First off – what did they sing from the judges to Jimmy’s to their own picks:
Haley Reinhart
Judges Choice – You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrisette
Jimmy’s Choice – Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac
Haley’s Choice – What Is and What Should Never Be by Led Zeppelin
Scotty McCreery
Judges Choice – She Believes In Me by Kenny Rogers
Jimmie’s Choice – Are you going to kiss me or not by Thompson Square
Scotty’s Choice – Amaze by Lonestar
Lauren Alaina
Judges Choice – I Hope You Dance by LeeAnn Womack
Jimmy’s Choice – If I die young by Perry
Lauren’s Choice – Wild One by Faith Hill
Quick hits:
Ranking them is pretty easy: Scotty, Haley, Lauren…
Scotty is playing it safe and why shouldn’t he?
Lauren is showing her youth… maybe she should have waited a couple of years to do this…
As the contestants get a little better, the judges get a lot worse … I’m so tired of hearing the cliches…
None of the song choices knocked my socks off…
Here’s a tip: All three of these finalists will sound much, much better in person on the Idol Summer Tour…
