American Idol 10 Top 11 Motown Week Performance Live (3-30-2011)
It?s Elton John Week at American Idol Season 10 2011, and instead of 10 Idol hopefuls this week, we still have 11 because the judges used their save on Casey Abrams. Will he prove worth the save, or will he be one of the two cut tomorrow night? Let?s find out together. Check out the comments for the snarkiness you?ve come to know and love (because I know you really come here for me, not American Idol, hehe), and feel free to add your two cents as well!
Performer: Scotty McCreery
Song: “Country Comforts”
Judges: Steven: “I love your voice and everything you do.” J-Lo: “You have amazing instincts.” Randy: “You are so in the zone right now; that song could be on your record.”
Vote: 1-866-IDOLS-01
Performer: Naima Adedapo
Song: “I’m Still Standing”
Judges: J-Lo: “I believe you should still be standing. But I’m not sure this song was suited for your reggae redo.” Randy: “It came off kind of corny for me.” Steven: “Good for you for picking a song that fits you.”
Vote: 1-866-IDOLS-02
Performer: Paul McDonald
Song: “Rocket Man”
Judges: Randy: “It was a little pitchy, but when you get into that tender zone, it’s very infectious.” J-Lo: “I think you’re holding back a little bit.” Steven: “There’s more flowers on your suit this time than there was last time. You have character.”
Vote: 1-866-IDOLS-03
Performer: Pia Toscano
Song: “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”
Judges: Steven: “You’ve done it again. It makes me cry inside.” J-Lo: “The notes take us to an otherworldly place. I felt you more than I have before.” Randy: “You’ve sung a ballad every time, but you slay them every time. Everyone knows you can sing.”
Vote: 1-866-IDOLS-04
Performer: Stefano Langone
Song: “Tiny Dancer”
Judges: J-Lo: “You’re really connecting with the audience.” Randy: “When you hit the money notes, you were right on.”
Vote: 1-866-IDOLS-05
Performer: Lauren Alaina
Song: “Candle in the Wind”
Judges: Randy: “That’s one of the greatest songs ever, and that’s one of the greatest Lauren Alaina performances.” Steven: “We knew what you were all about the first time we heard you, and that was just perfect.” J-Lo: “That was amazing.”

Performer: James Durbin
Song: “Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting)”

Vote: 1-866-IDOLS-07
Performer: Thia Megia
Song: “Daniel”
Judges: J-Lo: “This was very well-suited for your voice. It was a beautiful moment for you.” Randy: “There were a couple of pitch issues and it was very safe.” Steven: “When you find the right song, the voice appears, and you did a great job.”
Vote: 1-866-IDOLS-08
Performer: Casey Abrams
Song: “Your Song”
Judges: Randy: “I think it’s one of the greatest saves we’ve ever had, saving you. It was absolutely brilliant.” Steven: “One of the finest moments on this show was putting you through. If you had only sang those last two notes, you still would have gotten a standing ovation.” J-Lo: “Along the way we’ve had to make some hard decisions, and I’ve lost some sleep over that. But I did not lose one ounce of sleep over the choice of saving you.”
Vote: 1-866-IDOLS-09
Performer: Jacob Lusk
Song: “Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word”

2 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:03 pm
Hooray! And Lindsey, I hope, since I’m blogging from her house tonight (sorry that’s why it took me a minute to say hi)
3 Lizaio // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:04 pm
We totally need to interview Casey Ja-a-a-a-ames Judges Save soon. You want to take that one?
4 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:07 pm
Sure, I can do that. Casey Ja-a-a-ames just took my place reviewing a concert in Atlanta so I could be here with you all. I am that dedicated.
5 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:09 pm
Scotty is up first
6 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:14 pm
So…all quiet on the Idol front.
7 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:18 pm
proud granny
8 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:22 pm
corny? that’s saying a lot R-dog
9 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:24 pm
Amen, Swish!
Is it just me, or is this Idol-meets-Twilight Zone tonight?
10 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:30 pm
Paul McDonald is about to butcher “Rocket Man”
I played it with my band 5 years ago and we slaughtered it. So I thought it would fare great for me on Idol.
der….
11 Sheryl // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:30 pm
I thought they were not doing theme weeks. Gosh, I wish I knew someone that actually knows about this Idol stuff so, they could keep me informed. LOL!
12 Cait // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:31 pm
JEBBICA! I have no idea what’s going on (as usual) but I saw on Twitter that Naima did pretty good?
13 Melissa // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:31 pm
Not impressed with Rocket Man.
14 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:32 pm
Okay…best he’s done in weeks. He should do some Damien Rice.
15 Melissa // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:32 pm
Sounds like Adam Sandler doing Rocket Man.
16 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:35 pm
I didn’t have it turned up very loud but I wasn’t impressed with Naima.
LOL @ Melissa.
17 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:35 pm
me no like the tender, but glad he had his guitar cuz he moves wierd
18 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:36 pm
OMG, NOT ANOTHER BALLAD FROM PIA!!!!!
19 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:37 pm
PS: She’s a little stuck on herself, ain’t she?
20 Cait // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:37 pm
Pia has a stick up her arse.
21 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:38 pm
hey liz, if Pia still bores you, you can count the goose bumps she gives me
22 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:39 pm
Plus, she’s singing a song with the words “Go down on me” in them. I’m waiting for the crude jokes to ensue.
Speaking of, where are Bayou and Brian?
23 Melissa // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:40 pm
Another ballad from Pia…but I thought she did great.
24 Cait // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:40 pm
I shall go spam Brian. =D
25 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:40 pm
did JLo get hit in the nose with a pan?…strange flat spot on her bridge
26 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:46 pm
what’s with the shoulderless dresses? are those the Ugs?
27 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:49 pm
Stefano’s practice run sounded better than his performance.
Hold me closer Tony Danza
Count the head lice on the highway
28 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:50 pm
Hey Stefano, mickey mouse called, he wants his cheese back
29 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:51 pm
maybe he should’ve picked a faster song with less breaks
30 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:52 pm
Stefano Lan-GONE
31 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 8:57 pm
Stefano’s dad: meet your twin, Howie Mandell
32 Melissa2 // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:00 pm
I am Internet and cable bereft this week so I only know what you all post. Is JLo wearing that green eye shadow again?
33 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:01 pm
I haven’t noticed I think she looks better tonight
34 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:03 pm
Everyone loved Lauren
35 Eric Gehler // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:04 pm
Just in time for Rocking Elton with James Durbin…
36 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:10 pm
why would they play Eye of the Tiger when referencing Hulk Hogan…clearly Hulk (aka Thunderlips) was defeated by Rocky Balboa and that’s Rocky’s song
37 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:11 pm
Durbin’s faux-hawk really accentuates his koala ears.
This week is to bad what last week was to good.
38 Melissa // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:17 pm
Just wondering what Casey will sing. This Bitch Is Back?
39 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:21 pm
maybe, or i dont wanna go on with you like that
40 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:22 pm
ok, thia, I know I said I’d go to prom with you, but…I’ve gotta stay in and write this letter to Tide…thanking them for helping me with a stain…have fun though
41 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:24 pm
Ha!
42 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:25 pm
freakin police. makin me late for my blogfestation.
43 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:29 pm
For the record, Thunderlips crushed Rocky. It was a stunt wrestling match. Terry Bollea rules.
44 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:30 pm
Hi! Why did the cops hold you up?
45 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:31 pm
Not feeling Casey’s haircut. Now he looks like a professor.
46 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:32 pm
Casey has redeemed himself in my eyes. Best from him I’ve seen so far.
47 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:33 pm
31 in a 25.
48 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:36 pm
What?! They can pull you over for that?
I once got pulled over for 27 in a 35, it was a school zone, but I was driving on a Saturday. The guy was a douche. The judge let me out of the ticket.
Casey was good, but snore…ballads. Elton John was rocking and awesome. This is like a testament to Elton’s beauty rest or something.
49 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:37 pm
So, …I saw a little of your interview on here earlier…do you always look like Andy Warhol?
50 Melissa // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:37 pm
So, what’s Jacob going to sing? Believed? Blessed?
51 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:37 pm
While we wait for commercials I would like to take this opportunity to divulge how I am supercrushin on Cartoon Cait. Shame on you for being so darn young.
52 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:38 pm
i thought Rocky came back gave Thunderlips a back-breaker and threw him out of the ring too…
53 Eric Gehler // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:38 pm
Bayou has 20 Minutes to make over 25 comments or lose his interview and rating status
J/k But since I run this joint.. maybe not…. LOL
54 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:39 pm
No, that was just a spur of the moment photo op.
I would really like to hear “Philadelphia Freedom”……..
55 Melissa // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:40 pm
They’re getting the choir ready now for Jacob.
56 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:40 pm
Jacob is 23? I thought he was a teen, which was why his mom was always with him.
57 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:41 pm
Ack!
58 Melissa // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:42 pm
I like this song, but not for Jacob.
59 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:42 pm
You have a crush on Cartoon Cait?? That’s kind of creepy. She’s like, still a fetus or something.
60 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:42 pm
I like this toned down J-Lusk….
61 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:44 pm
I don’t think there’s gonna be a race to 100 tonight Eric…especially with Casey Ja-a-a-ames gone tonight.
62 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:44 pm
Hey Im crushin on u2 jebs but u r taken….
63 CaitHagar // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:45 pm
Whoa. What?
Ya’ll are so old. Jesus. Actually, some of you are older than Jesus. But, I’m glad someones crushin’ on Cartoon Cait. I’ll be sure to let that little animated wench know.
<3
64 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:47 pm
Plus Liz kept trying to show me pictures of you in your underwear.
65 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:47 pm
Why does Liz have pictures of you in your underwear again?
66 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:47 pm
who’s this cartoon cait?
67 Melissa // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:48 pm
Does Steven Tyler ever say anything bad about anyone? Sounds like he has rehearsed comments and just pulls one out of the hat at the end of each person’s performance.
68 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:49 pm
And for the record, I’m emotionally twelve. So its totally ok. Or not. rofl
69 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:50 pm
Pictures of who in their underwear? There is that one picture of me on an Australian lingerie site….
And Nathan is officially older than Jesus…34!
Steven Tyler is Paula Abdul with man parts.
70 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:50 pm
Steven Tyler’s vocabulary might be legitimately eroded through decades of substance abuse….
71 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:50 pm
Definitely not okay.
72 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:50 pm
Haley is closing the show.
73 Melissa // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:51 pm
…LOL about Steven Tyler!
74 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:52 pm
Another alternate theory could be all the really good genes going to Liv, leaving him with the genetic crap left over. He’s like a musical Danny DeVito.
75 Melissa // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:53 pm
Yuck at Haley.
76 Eric Gehler // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:53 pm
BBBBBB benny…She’s got Electric Boobs, I know she do, cause she read it in a magazine… Right Jeb?
77 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:53 pm
I like Haley’s jazzy voice. The growling, not so much. Small doses, Haley. Small doses.
78 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:54 pm
Nice trills tonight by Haley. Good song choice. Gamechanger?
79 Melissa // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:55 pm
B-b-b-b-b what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????
80 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:55 pm
B-b-b-boring week!
81 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:56 pm
Okay, who’s going home?
Thia and Naima. Or Stefano.
But Naima’s more interesting than Thia, so I wish it was Thia and Pia.
82 Jebbica // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:57 pm
Koala Durbin can go too. Poor man’s Adam Lambert.
83 Bayou // Mar 30, 2011 at 9:58 pm
After the recaps, I agree with Randy.
Top 3 – Haley, Casey, Jacob
Bottom 3 – Naima, Thia, Paul
84 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 10:01 pm
Thia’s gotta go
85 Swish // Mar 30, 2011 at 10:03 pm
My top 3: Stephen Tyler, Jacob, and Pia

88 bambee // Mar 31, 2011 at 1:02 am
Haley needs to go home she is looking for Benny..
I think so broke the piano and scratch it because of her fat ??? she looks like a singer on a cabaret in a cheap hotel in vegas..
89 Sandra // Mar 31, 2011 at 2:50 am
Top 3 — James, Lauren, Scotty
Bottom 3 — Thia, Pia and Jacob. Pia and Jacob are the little tonsil-flashers. Turn down the volume when they start screeching.
