The End to a Great Season

This season of American Idol had its ups and downs. Many people went home early and in the begining it seemed like the top 6 would be all boys. But the season made a quick turn around after Pia got sent home.

As every Idol left the competition got tougher and tougher but two kids who seemed to be front runners stayed strong the whole time.

From auditions I had hoped Scotty and Lauren would make it to the finale, but starting off the show as a 15 year old and a 16 year old I thought both would never make it. I was wrong.

I would say this is the best season of talent American Idol ever had. We had the most diverse group of singers ever. And we ended up with two country artists....not that I'm complaining.

The top 13 first sang Born This Way. It was pretty good and fun. I always love when the top 13 perform together. Scotty and Lauren should date. They'd make a great couple. Ps get ready to here that a few more times...I'm keeping a Scotty and Lauren Love tab for the night.

James performed with Judas Priest. It was not bad...but It wasn't my favorite performance of the night so I am glad we got it out of the way pretty quick.

Then they showed a Randy montage....basically showing Randy isn't a very good judge. Unlike Simon who predicts a winner....Randy picks about 13 just to be safe.

Jacob performed with Kurt Franklin and Gladis Knight. Guess how I felt about this song? Wrong I actually enjoyed part of it besides the end. The beginning was kind of good and when all those singers came out.

Casey performing with Jack Black was HILARIOUS!!!

The ladies did a Beyonce mash-up. They all looked SMOKING!! The six of them should've started their own band. They even danced!! These girls should have dressed this hot all season and maybe they wouldn't have gone home 13th through 9th place. Take a hint from Haley next season girls. I will say this is probably the most attractive season of girls they have ever have. I am surprised we didn't see up one dress tonight. I was on crotch patrol because these ladies barely covered anything. Then Beyonce comes out! So far this is the best performance of the night. They finally got a modern artist. Did anyone else see that girl with the GIANT fro? I could build a nest and live inside that baby. I bet Jacob was mad that he didn't get to sing with Beyonce.

I laughed so hard all the way through the Steven montage. It was so funny. He is part of the life support Idol needed.

Next Haley sang with Tony Bennett. They clearly made her wear a longer dress so this old man didn't get a woody. I liked this performance she sounded good, it wasn't as fun as the girls or as Casey's but I guess you have to have some serious singing at some point.

Next was Jennifers time...it was basically a look about how much the contestants LOVED her....but who wouldn't love the most beautiful girl in the world.

Next we saw Lil John for like 2 seconds and TLC and the ladies again. I would have liked to see a little more Lil John personally. They were joined by Thia, Karen, Naima and Ashton. Ashton should join them and then they  can make a come back.

SCOTTY AND TIM MCGRAW!!! It was AMAZING! I think this is the best Scotty has sounded in a few weeks. Not much to say...I mean it was Tim Mcgraw so it was going to be good. Scotty is awkward performing with famous people.

Next we saw a montage of screw ups...and Marc Anthony

Then it was the battle of surprising elimination! James or Casey?!?! It was so funny and when Pia came out with her sash and crown. I love Pia. She was most shocking this season in my opinion.

Next the boy performed a mash-up of all kinds of hits. Stephano sounded better then ever. They all did really great then Tom Jones came out. It was good. Did anyone else see the screen with the lyrics in the back? Wasn't aware Idol was karaoke. Oh and the boys don't dance as good as the girls.

Then they had a ford music video to remember the past ones. It was good.

Then it was Lady GaGa, I don't really like this song but it was kind of enjoyable to watch...and its always fun to watch her fall of the cliff.

LAUREN AND CARRIE!!! BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT I LOVE CARRIE!!! She looked great and they sounded good. I love that the  most successful idol (just recently past Kelly) could come back but we couldn't get last years winner? did he have to much to do?Probably not. They probably didn't even invite him. Carrie and Lauren were so good together hopefully it wont be the last time we see them on the same stage together, but hopefully they will be excepting awards next time. Oh wait I just saw that loser  "Winner" in the audience.

I loved the contestants talking about how the "babies" are in the finale. It was hilarious.

ohhh great....Beyonce again....not really needed.

Then we saw spider man....it was okay I was hoping JLO would kiss him.

Watching Steven perform was AMAZING!!!!

Time for the results. Lauren and Scotty were clearly flirting. Who saw that tickle?

And the winner...of American idol.....2010 is.....SCOTTY!!! Is anyone surprised? A female with never win this show again. Hes little speech was adorable talking about Lauren ha. I always love watching the other idols behind the winner ha.

Scotty's song sounded much better tonight than on performance night. I love that he didn't give Jack Black a hug lol. Bt I must say it was the most lack luster winning performance ha. He shouldn't have walked off stage I wanted fireworks and confetti the whole time.

Well what and end to the show! Would have liked it a tiny bit more if Lauren won but since she did I am super stocked for Scotty. and country music.




So whats next for Reality with Reyn? do you think its over for the summer? NOPE! SYTYCD STARTS TONIGHT and I will start writing about the Voice after the battle rounds are over.

I thought you were all hat and no cattle.

I am doing something different today, I will be blogging while watching Idol, that way yall get my first thoughts and reactions.

ahh Rock night what a relief. The beginning was pretty funny, Steven Tyler cracks me shit up every week. Why is Will-I-Am mentoring? he isn't a rocker. But what ever

Jacob is up first, he is singing "Man in the Mirror" by Michael Jackson but honestly I wish he would have kept his song as "Let's Get it On".  The beginning was really bad, I think he had something wrong with his ear piece and it screwed him up in the beginning but he got back into his grove. It wasn't my favorite Jacob performance and it seems like Jacob has lost some confidence but he did good.

Haley sang second tonight, she is finally giving the judges what they want and she sang Janice! She sang Piece of my Heart, I really loved it and think is was the best version of that song ever sang on this show. JLO told her that she was a contender and for the second week in a row Randy liked her and Steven "couldn't find nothing wrong about that". I am really proud of Haley she has grown a lot and got better and better. And that darn Will-i-am who pissed her off ;)

Casey was going to sing "Every little thing she does is magic" then changed it to "Have you ever seen the rain" at first I was unhappy with him leaving the first song but I think both are good. I thought it was good I wish he just put a little bit more energy in it. I didn't like his little growl he through in there, idk if the grow he has he caught from Haley but he shouldn't do it again. I wouldn't consider playing the bass as revolutionary but that's just me.

Lauren is singing "Natural Woman". Shes making this C-O-N-T-R-O-U-L as Will-i-am put it. Let me just say Lauren looks great for a 16 year old. She looks mature but youthful at the same time. Her voice sounded really pure, it was almost effortless. I loved it, was good but it wasn't Kelly Clarkson. I love Lauren though and I hope she follows in Kellys footsteps and wins.

James, the seasons rocker, singing "While my Guitar Gently Weeps" I am kind of shocked that he changed it up. Let me first say his momma forgot to tape his ears back as a child, I thought if he started flapping those things he would have lifted into flight. I really liked it, and I think he picked a good song, he has shown us he can do rock n roll and now he's showing us his emotional sign and it really worked.

Scotty is singing Elvis' "That's all Right Mama". I am glad Scotty is singing Elvis. I really like this performance, it made me smile it was really good. That was my favorite performance tonight so far. It was fun, it was good and it was a winning performance. JLO feels flavor in him haha.

Pia kept her promise and is singing "River Deep Mountain High" I am so glad Pia is showing her performer side and not her ballad side. This is just what we needed to fall back in love with Pia. It was really really good. Pia has been holding out on us! Pia is back in this race! That last note WOW!!! so Great. This is a competition.

Stefano....here comes the most boring part of the show. I feel he sings songs that have been done over and over and over again on AI he is singing "When a Man Love a Woman" he thinks its going to be a big week...he has said that every week. I hate his facial expressions when he sings. It wasn't good, idk what JLO was thinking, it kind of picked up towards the end and then that last note was bad. JLO is clearly in love with him or something idk.

Paul got the pimp spot tonight. It was quick and good and speaking of quick and good the judges kept it that was so I will to.

So here is my weekly list of who did the best (in my opinion):

1. Scotty
2. James
3. Pia
4. Haley
5. Casey (fixed this, thanks Kristin!! Also Casey is fastly re entering my favorites list, the old casey is back!)
6. Lauren
7. Jacob
8. Paul
9. Stefano

Who I think will be in the bottom 3:

Paul, Stefano and Jacob....I am going to put Lauren as my alternate for bottom 3 this week ( I hope shes safe though)

My prediction going home, Stefano....maybe Paul.

You Keep Singing Like That and You'll be Able to Pay for the Rest of That Dress

Long title I know, it was my Steven Tyler quote of the night. Lets get down to buisness though, I think this was my favorite week yet.

Scotty was up first, I liked him and I think it was my favorite from him so far. Naima was next with her raggae feel. I love that she is a reggae artist but explain to me that fake accent? I hated it and it ruined the song from me, I just didn't like it. Next up was Paul and I liked it I think it was just the right amount Paul with the right amount of Elton. And let me say this, all 3 of these people "talked" during there song and I wasn't sure whether to like it or hate it but I didn't mind it with these three.

Pia, the gorgeous Pia, I really liked it but honeslty I'm getting a little bored, I'm glad she is singing "river deep, mountain high" next week (or so she says) I think if she makes it though and sings that well she'll be back in the race but I feel she fell of the race for the win this week and entered the race for 3rd place.

Stefano did a lot better this week but I still didn't like him and I realized why, he has an accent that I don't like. I don't know how to explain it.

Lauren did amazing tonight! I don't think it was my favorite cover to the song and I was actually hoping either Pia or Haley would do this song but Lauren did do it great. James was next and he also brought the heat, litereally. I wish he would have brought that Adam Lambert/Steven Tyler scream he has more in this song than he did, it would have been a great song to bring it for.

Thia, unlike Randy I really liked Thia's Daniel. It was the right song for her and I think he best song in a while. I don't think she diserves to be at risk. I also don't think she can do up beat, I didn't really like last week but I love her slowed down.

Casey was back from the save and was as cocky as ever, dude your clearly not invincible get over yourself. I thought he started off bad but then he quickly got good, and it was good but I felt like we are still missing the old Casey, the Casey I loved this Casey I am not a fan off. He use to bring it and do his own thing and I think hes lost that.

Jakob was a wow for me. He amazes me everytime but like Pia I am getting a little bored with this big songs hes singing. Don't get me wrong I enjoy them everytime I just would like him to see do a little something different, I don't know what just something different.

My girl Haley had the pimp spot, when I found this out I was expecting a good performance. So far this season last performer has almost always been one of the best for the night so I thought this may be the best thing for Haley, but was worried what if she lets all of us down? WELL SHE DIDN'T!!!! Haley brought her shit!! She wasn't holding back and this was a week to bring your A game and she did! When I first saw Haley I saw something special in her besides her looks, and finally she proved to everyone I am not an idiot. Even Randy loved her and until this week he seemed to be driving Haley's one way ticket home but not I think hes on the Haley-Train, at least for now.

Okay so heres my list for the best of the night:

1. Haley
2. James
3. Lauren
4. Casey
5. Paul
6. Scotty
7. Thia
8. Pia
9. Jakob
10. Stefano
11. Naima

My bottom 3: Niama, Thia and Stefano

I want Niama and Stefano to go but I think it may be Thia and Stefano
