American Idol 10: Top 4 Leiber & Stoller Week Live (5-11-11)
Hey everyone, who can tell me who Leiber and Stoller are? Anyone? No, I have no idea either. All I can hope for is recognizing some of the songs. Because everyone knows that Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and Taylor Swift are selling millions of records singing old Leiber and Stoller, so…yeah! Great plan. Let’s see how the Top Four fare together, shall we?
Check out the live recapping below, and as always, go leave your two cents in the comments!
Performer: James Durbin

Judges: Steven: “A little indication of what’s to come. You did it right; nice going!” J-Lo: “It’s nice to hear you go into your upper register.” Randy: “You’re paying homage to my friends and a band I was in. The highest degree of difficulty, and you did it!”

Performer: Haley Reinhart
Song: “Earth Song”
Judges: J-Lo: “I felt like you picked a song that inspired you. James set the bar, but you needed to pick a song that everyone responds to.” Randy: “Keeping it real, it confused me about who you are as an artist. I thought you were screaming.” Steven: “They’re both wrong!”
Vote: 1-866-IDOLS-02 or 1-866-IDOLS-06
Performer: Scotty McCreery
Song: “Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?”
Judges: Randy: “I think that’s a perfect song choice, and I think you’ve set your mark; you’re ready for super stardom.” Steven: “That was beautiful. I see your passion.” J-Lo: “I’m in love witchu.”

Hello
2 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:05 pm
This seems like a very Twilight Zone-esque episode of American Idol already.
3 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:06 pm
James is trying to have a Glee moment and is not making it.
But, he might could have won the Journey karaoke challenge the other night.
4 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:13 pm
James is sucking up. What’s next…Lauren sings Aerosmith?
5 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:15 pm
Someone help me out…what is this song Haley is singing?
6 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:16 pm
“Earth Song”?
Anyone here?
7 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 8:17 pm
honk if you’re Haley
8 Casey Ja-a-a-a-m-e-s Judges Save // May 11, 2011 at 8:20 pm
Hey I am trolling for women
9 Bayou // May 11, 2011 at 8:21 pm
i am simultaneously finishing my comparative politics final exam, so hopefully you wont see anything about political and economic convergence, and my professor won’t read anything about rabid koalas.
10 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:21 pm
I think you’re in the wrong place.
11 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 8:22 pm
I’m a dude
12 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:22 pm
Please, tell us all about politically/economically converged rabid koalas!
13 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:23 pm
Well if I were here trolling for dudes, I think I’d be in the right place.
14 Casey Ja-a-a-a-m-e-s Judges Save // May 11, 2011 at 8:25 pm
Koala economics, the tail of our future currency.
15 Casey Ja-a-a-a-m-e-s Judges Save // May 11, 2011 at 8:27 pm
also know as a eucalyptus model
16 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:27 pm
I know I said “Gone like a soldier in the Civil War bang bang” was the worst song ever last week, but no…this one is. #scotty
17 Casey Ja-a-a-a-m-e-s Judges Save // May 11, 2011 at 8:28 pm
*known* not know
18 Bayou // May 11, 2011 at 8:28 pm
interesting stratagy Scotty. conjuring 911 imagery to get votes? I might vote for you just for your big brass balss.
19 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:29 pm
This has been 0 for 3 for me.
20 Casey Ja-a-a-a-m-e-s Judges Save // May 11, 2011 at 8:30 pm
snor-tastico
21 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 8:35 pm
I hope Lauren will sing I Tough Myself
22 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 8:35 pm
“touch”…dammit
23 Bayou // May 11, 2011 at 8:36 pm
Both Samuel Huntington in “Waves of Democracy” and Francis Fukuyama in “The End of History” comment on political convergence, arguing that as more nations become influenced by liberal democratic regimes, those nations will choose (or be forced to choose?) liberal democracy. The implications of this political convergence are positive when considered in concert with Kant’s Democratic Peace Theory
24 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:36 pm
Oh wait, is the first half Inspirational, and the 2nd half Leiber and Stoller? I’ve been really confused up til now.
25 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:38 pm
Lauren is the only one at this point who isn’t laughable. But she needs to stop wearing those mullet dresses.
26 Casey Ja-a-a-a-m-e-s Judges Save // May 11, 2011 at 8:41 pm
Bayou- We could probably talk for hours, and put Jessica into boredsville.
Was that the first ” in it to win it” for the night.
27 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:43 pm
Okay, y’all tell me…when are these people going to their home towns, so I can go stalk Lauren in the name of this site?
28 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:44 pm
Is Jimmy Iovine MIA since it’s all his fault everyone’s going home?
29 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:48 pm
Am I the only person who hates Lady Gag Me?
30 Bayou // May 11, 2011 at 8:50 pm
Unified global government is an impossibility barring extraterrestrial contact or an ELE (extinction level event), and to destroy nationalism any other way would certainly attract some sort of retribution, yet it is nationalism itself and classical liberalism’s focus on individuality that presents the greatest threat to both global order and harmonious coexistence
31 Casey Ja-a-a-a-m-e-s Judges Save // May 11, 2011 at 8:51 pm
I am getting there Jebbs.
32 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:52 pm
I like this song.
33 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 8:52 pm
chills
34 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 8:53 pm
RDog needs an iron
35 Casey Ja-a-a-a-m-e-s Judges Save // May 11, 2011 at 8:54 pm
“In it to win it” #2.
36 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 8:56 pm
“That was beautiful” #83 of the night. If we’re playing last week’s game, I’d have alcohol poisoning.
Okay, I don’t care if you start commenting your term papers one word at a time, just comment! And come back tomorrow because I hate talking to myself. They’ll put me back in that place that I don’t like that looks like a marshmallow.
37 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 8:57 pm
Wow, Seacrest just put the smackdown on RDog, shhh’ing him and telling him to calm down. Someone had their V8 earlier…
38 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 9:00 pm
maybe he should sing “gotta know when to hold em” to that mic
39 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 9:02 pm
I think Gaga set him up to look stupider than usual. Plus 1 Gaga. You’re total score is now 1.
40 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 9:02 pm
Why is Scotty dancing like he’s in “Thriller”?
41 Casey Ja-a-a-a-m-e-s Judges Save // May 11, 2011 at 9:05 pm
Scotty “The Velociraptor” McCreery
42 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 9:07 pm
Scotty “The T-Rex” McCreery
43 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 9:08 pm
that was horrible-er than usual for him. On an unrelated note, earlier Haley said something about how it was important bc it was the final 3, but it’s the final 4. Perhaps she’s assuming there’s someone still there that she doesn’t have to worry about? Scandalous…though I’d have to agree Scotty shouldn’t be there next week
44 Casey Ja-a-a-a-m-e-s Judges Save // May 11, 2011 at 9:10 pm
Scotty head is on the block, if ethnic cleansing is to continue.
45 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 9:11 pm
Lauren Alaina’s shoulder pads.
46 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 9:13 pm
That was pretty bad, Lauren.
47 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 9:16 pm
Koala’s closing the show…AGAIN.
48 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 9:17 pm
yeah it started off good, but then fell off…like Haley’s panties for Casey
49 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 9:18 pm
LOL! Swish, you are cracking me up tonight.
50 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 9:18 pm
odds that james will take it too far? anyone?
51 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 9:19 pm
i kinda thought he do Kiss in full makeup
52 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 9:19 pm
I got money on pyrotechnics.
53 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 9:23 pm
hahah, you’re so right
54 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 9:25 pm
i actually kinda like how he commanded that ending. he’s totally getting laid tonight
55 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 9:25 pm
Ha! Pay up. Stuff blowing up at the end.
How is he this far in this competition. Someone, please tell me.
56 Casey Ja-a-a-a-m-e-s Judges Save // May 11, 2011 at 9:26 pm
“In it to win it” #3 at least.
57 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 9:27 pm
i used to hate him until he started doing ballads. He had me at Will You Still Love Me a few weeks ago
58 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 9:28 pm
Okay, I don’t care who of these people go home tomorrow, as long as Lauren wins. Bets, anyone?
And come back tomorrow.
59 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 9:29 pm
ahahahah, I finally just now got hte whole Veloceraptor Scotty comment…too funny!
60 Swish // May 11, 2011 at 9:30 pm
I want Lauren and James in the top 2, but Lauren to take the cake…but not eat it. Those hips have seen some moments already…
61 Jebbica // May 11, 2011 at 9:33 pm
Aww, low blow! She’s skinny to live around here. We fry everything here.
See y’all tomorrow!
62 Tom Cat // May 11, 2011 at 9:43 pm
JAMES & SCOTTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haley to GO
63 Carlie // May 11, 2011 at 9:54 pm
I’d like to politically coexist with James !
