This week I correctly predicted two of the bottom three. Sam Woolf may be getting a few teenage girls to scream for him, but that isn't turning into enough votes to keep him out of the bottom three. Thankfully the rest of America is just as bored by him as I am so he shouldn't be lasting much longer in the competition. CJ Harris served up two weeks in a row of messed up performances. At least this week it put him in the bottom three when he actually should have been sent home last week.
Sadly, while these two contestants are coming back next week, the lowest vote getter of the week was the delightful and talented Majesty Rose. She is a ray of sunshine every time she takes the stage. She illustrated this perfectly as she sang Happy for the save. She was vibrant, lively and thoroughly entertaining. For some reason, the judges decided not to save her so another talented finalist is going home too soon.

The Top 9 sing with the band
The front-runners continue to be Alex Preston and Majesty Rose. While they are both very different from each other, they still both possess the perfect blend of star qualities: impressive vocal range, stage presence and a unique and different personal style.
Alex performed Don't Speak with his enthralling musical gifts while Majesty completely owned her version of Shake It Out.
My prediction for the bottom three this week is Jena Irene, Sam Woolf and CJ Harris. Jena is the girl in your high school musical who can sing the loudest so she gets the lead, but she has absolutely zero stage presence or star quality. Sam served up yet another completely flat and boring performance. He has no personality at all. CJ is clearly trying very hard, but he simply does not have the vocal range to stick around.
Any one of these three could be sent home and not be missed, but my prediction for the lowest vote getter of the week is Sam Woolf.

The Top 10 - Results
This week I did not correctly predict any of the bottom three. CJ Harris was a complete mess this week, but he still managed to get enough votes to keep him safe. Meanwhile, Dexter Roberts delivered a very good performance of Cruise by Florida Georgia Line, yet he was in the bottom three. Also, Majesty Rose is easily one of the most charismatic and talented finalists this show has ever seen and she was also at risk of elimination.
The final person joining Dexter and Majesty in the bottom three was MK Nobilette. Admittedly, her performance this week wasn't as strong as it could have been, but it wasn't bad enough that she should be sent home. Especially after hearing her perform All Of Me by John Legend as she sang for the judges save it was very clear that she is incredibly gifted.
But, the judges did not decide to save her and she is out of the competition way too soon.

The Top 10 sing HITS
The top 10 finalists performed songs that are recent hits on the charts. The best performance of the night once again came from Alex Preston who sang The Story Of My Life by One Direction. Alex has a signature style and sound that he confidently brings to everything that he does and tonight was no exception.
Other stand out performances came from Malaya Watson who completely nailed it with her version of When I Was Your Man and Majesty Rose who showed yet another side of her range and versatility on her rendition of Wake Me Up.
My prediction for the bottom three this week is Sam Woolf, who gets more boring and drab every week, Jena Irene, who would need about a million more glow sticks to make even a blip on my radar and CJ Harris. What can I say about CJ except that tonight he just choked. He appeared to be a nervous wreck of a deer caught in the headlights in his weak attempt at Invisible by Hunter Hayes. My prediction is that CJ will be the one going home.

The Top 11 - Results
I am very happy to report that both MK and Alex were safe this week. Thank goodness MK was not even in the bottom three this week like she has been for the past two weeks!
I correctly predicted two of the bottom three this week. Sam Woolf and Ben Briley gave lackluster performances and they ended up where they should have. Unfortunately, the wonderful and talented Majesty Rose was also in the bottom three. She is a beautiful, young talented singer and performer and this was a wake up call. She will be getting my votes every week from now on.
While Sam was a completely boring disaster last night, Ben ended up being the lowest vote getter. He tried to mix things up last night and show his range, but his fans wanted him to stay the same and he lost their votes as a result. The judges did not use their save so we had to say goodbye to him too soon.

The Top 11 Movie Night
It was a night of strong performances as the Top 11 finalists sang music from the movies. As expected, MK and Alex continue to be the leaders of the pack. MK Nobilette delivered an impressive and emotional rendition of To make You Feel My Love while Alex Preston added his genuine and raw essence to Falling Slowly.
Surprisingly, Malaya Watson, scored for the second week in a row with her powerhouse vocal on I Am Changing. She is still a wacky doofus, but the voice was there. The other contestant who stepped it up this week was Majesty Rose who took on the current hit from Idina Menzel, Let It Go. Majesty has the stage presence, the style and the great voice to really make some waves in the music business.
My prediction for the bottom three this week is Sam Woolf, Jessica Meuse and Ben Briley. Ben made an unfortunate song choice in Benny and the Jets that had him veer to far away from his fan base. Jessica simply is not translating her experience performing in small clubs to appearing on TV. But Sam was the biggest hot mess and he should definitely be the one going home this week. His attempt at Come Together was sad and droopy. The poor boy has absolutely no personality and he is a fish out of water trying to compete on this big high profile stage.

The Top 12 - Results
The Season 11 Miss American Idol winner, Phillip Phillips, has enjoyed some pretty significant success with his debut album. The two singles, Home and Gone, Gone Gone, are still getting a lot of radio airplay. On tonight's results show he performed the first single from his second album and the wave of success is sure to continue. The single is called Raging Fire and it has already leaped into the Top 10 on itunes.
This week I correctly predicted two of the bottom three. I was right about Jena Irene and Emily Piriz. Unfortunately, the very talented and unique MK Nobilette was in the bottom three for the second time. She is very good and I now even more enthusiastic about voting for her next week.
I was also correct in predicting that Emily would be the lowest vote getter. The judges decided not to use their "save".

The Top 12 bring it Home
Tonight the top 12 finalists performed songs that remind them of home. The best performance of the night came from Alex Preston who delivered a fresh and insightful take on Gavin DeGraw's I Don't Want To Be. Alex is an extremely talented musician and vocalist through and through and he can always be counted on to provide a personal and compelling performance.
Right up there with the best is MK Nobilette who performed Drops of Jupiter by Train. She has a true and genuine personal style that is as unique as her impressive vocal gifts. It was very wrong that she ended up in the bottom three last week and I hope it does not happen again.
I have to give an honorable mention to the most improved of the week: Malaya Watson went from an out of control train wreck last week to a tasteful and classy gospel vocalist and pianist this week.
My prediction for this week's bottom three is Sam Woolf who is simply boring, Jena Irene who is getting lost in the crowd and Emily Piriz who foolishly tried to showcase her voice with a Jennifer Lopez song. It was a very bad choice since Jennifer is a dancer and not really a singer. Poor Emily got lost on stage and was barely noticeable surrounded by the energy of the band. Emily is most likely to be the contestant who is going home this week.

So much Adam Lambert on Glee
Tonight's episode of Glee was quite literally a Season 8 Miss American Idol 1st runner up Adam Lambert glam-stravaganza!!!!
He started out doing a performance of Heart's Barracuda with Rachel. They jammed and banged their heads to this amazing classic rock anthem.
Then, he joined both Santana and Rachel on a cover of Laura Branigan's Gloria. It was like a competition of them all trying to out sing each other. The song never sounded better.
It's rare that a guest star gets to perform more than two songs in one episode, but he then joined Kurt and Demi Lovato for a third song! This time it was the #1 smash by Diana Ross and the Supremes from 1965, The Happening. It was fun and fabulous!
Finally, Adam added his vocals to the grand finale of the night as the entire cast closed the show with an uplifting version of Hold On by Wilson Phillips.
It is so great seeing Adam Lambert on TV every week on the best show on TV!!!!
