And Then There Were Nine: American Idol Results Show 3-31-11

So, Naima and Thia are going home. I don't think they're good enough to go to the end but they didn't deserve to leave this soon. There are a couple of others that I feel should go home first. Paul comes to mind.

I was so excited when Paul was in the bottom 3. Don felt it was going to be Stefano based on Dial Idol's predictions but I'm the ever optimist and felt he was safe for at least one more week. I really think my heart sunk to my toes when Ryan told Paul he was safe.

What did you think about the duets, trios and quartets. I loved Scotty and Lauren and thought it was great they paired the 2 country singers together. Hearing Scotty sing a duet I realized how effortless it is for him to sing.  Lauren looked like she really had to work to get her voice out there but they were good together. James' band with Stefano, Ryan, Casey and Paul was pretty good and them singing together you really saw how soft Stefano's voice is compared to Casey and James'. And well, I don't think I need to tell you what I think about Paul.

I liked Fantasia's performance tonight but not too thrilled with Jamie Foxx and Will I Am but that's not my type of music. I also realized I'm not missing the mentors this year. It was taking up too much time with the clips of the contestants with the mentors and I feel they're getting better direction and consistency with the producers they're working with.
