American Idol: Top 5 + Results

We've hit the Top 5 of American Idol Season 10!

The remaining five contestants sang two songs each, and what was the end result? Why, there were some impressive performances while some of them faltered. Horribly.

There's no doubt as to who's the worse of the night:

Jacob Lusk


What more can I say? His first song was Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown's No Air and it SUCKED. No other word can describe that trainwreck, honestly. Horrible from start to end.

At least he sang his second song choice pretty well...that is, until the screaming started. Sounded like some cat wailing, and the judges PRAISED it. Like seriously. What the hell? I wanted so badly for Simon to scream at Jacob 'STOP BEING INDULGENT YOU MORON!'.

Moving on to...

James Durbin


For sure he did not live up to expectations. I have no idea why he chose those songs. 30 Seconds to Mars is not exactly the best choice one can make for a competition, and he made that dumb choice. Very mediocre.

Then, he decided to go all emotional on the American Idol audience with a tearful rendition of 'Without You'. Vocally it was weak, and I couldn't understand what he was singing. Sorry man, I don't wanna be mean about a performance that he was so emotional about, but that performance was -almost- painful to listen to.

Scotty McCreery


Both song choices were boring and bland and country, so yeah, that about sums it up. Anoop Desai's version of Always On My Mind was waaaaaay better than Scott's. I doubt Scotty will be in trouble, but he should be worried.

Lauren Alaina


I thought Little Lauren was pretty good tonight. At least the songs she chose suited her? Vocally strong, but her eyes were like blank. I kept thinking 'BARBIE!!!' whenever they zoomed in on her face. She really is like a chubby blank Barbie...

...so that leaves us with...

Haley Reinhart

Haley! Oh gosh, Haley. The last contestant I felt this excited about was ADAM LAMBERT, and that was two seasons ago!

Haley rocked the stage. Her rendition of 'House of the Rising Sun' gave me goosebumps, seriously! Absolutely stunning performance, that was. She got a standing ovation, and she damn well deserved it!

Okay, so she sang an unreleased Lady Gaga song first and got negative responses from Randy and J.Lo. Steven was unperturbed though, he loved it although he had never heard the song before. Let's hope America agrees with Steven? Cos she SLAYED that song! Her vocals for both songs were spot on! Hard to believe that I used to be anti-Haley, she has improved so much over the weeks and I think she deserves to win the competition. Or at least, get second place. The runner ups seem to do better than the winners anyway...

I really hope Jacob will be eliminated tomorrow. Sorry but the other four contestants are way better than him, even with drab performances (ahem Scotty). Please vote wisely America! Don't give us another Chris Daughtry moment.

P.S: I got a new toy to play with today gahahaha! Samsung Galaxy Tab ftw!!

EDIT: Results

Jacob's out! Finally. Was afraid he'd make the Top 4. Poor Lauren was in the bottom two and she bawled. Honestly, I think she should be going home next week....
