I was curious as to how much the winner gets in AI contracts.

Found this article on line.

Not so much. I think this year's group is going to do the best ever in the $ dept.

We'll see.

Scottie and Casey are my faves but I'd be surprised if they are in the finals. I hope at least one is. Only James has not made the bottom three.
I was liking him but that heavy metals junk just turned me off.
I thought Joplin and Hendrix were great. The times have been a changing.

This is just for fun, but, really, who does this look like . . . . just a little?!

Whew, my favorite, Jacob, almost got the ax tonight, but he made it through! He's going to have to step up to more fiery and exciting songs; which he has the talent to carry off.

I liked Stefano, but it was his time.

At this point, I really like most of the ones that are left. I think Casey, Hayley, or Scotty should be the next to go.

We thought Jacob would be the one gone this week. It is really getting tough to pick the bottom three as the number of competitors is reduced.

AI is fun to watch as long as it is on DVR so you can fast forward thru commercials and most judges comments

Freeda: The first time I saw Scotty I thought of Mad Magazine... pretty funny

I love all kinds of music, and although I only like some country music, such as George Strait, Faith Hill, and a few others, with Johnny Cash having been my all time favorite, I must admit that Scotty has grown on me, and he does have an endearing face! Here he is in his AI audition, singing 'Your Man' by Josh Turner, which has been my favorite of his performances:

Win or lose in AI, you'll be hearing him for a long time on CW radio.

Agree, but someone in the country music scene has to give him some lessons on handling a microphone. It's getting ridiculously funny sometimes . . . . But the kid can sing country like nobody I've heard since George Strait.

So, who's gonna leave? I was amazed by James D last night. I'd always liked him but his voice is much truer than I expected. Wowser!! My guess is that Jacob and Casey will be at the bottom (number three is up for grabs -- probably Lauren). I really like Scotty but he's too country. I doubt he could ever do a cross-over song, let alone an album and you need that to be a true idol IMO. I think Jacob should leave; his voice broke a time or two too often for my taste, but I think it will be Casey. I can't imagine the teenyboppers voting for his jazzy style, but I do love it.

Cool

It's getting really tough to call, but I believe the bottom 3 will be Jacob, Casey and Haley.... Of those 3, I would expect Haley to finally exit tonight, although personally, I'd like to see Jacob go...just not my cup of tea.

James was unbelievable last night. It's to the point, I never know what to expect from James.....

SHould be an interesting show tonight...
