Of all the final four, Haley is the only one who still doesn’t “fill” the stage.

Even if one doesn’t agree her voice is weakest, there’s no denying the others have really stepped up and begun to “perform”, not just sing.

I don’t see Haley even trying. For the most part, she just stands there and waves her arms (ala Pia). I can’t imagine a viewer saying “I can’t wait to see what HALEY does tonight!!!”.

” If they wanted drama they would have put Scotty and James in the golden stools and waited for effect between Lauren and Haley.”

I was really wrong on my James to the second seat scenario.

What was your reaction to the way things unfolded?

count me in with the surprised crowd. I had either James or Scotty pegged to win as well.

Hayley gives off a bad impression as I've heard a lot of people outside of FR saying she's not sincere with Casey and will drop him since he's no longer useful or is now "beneath" her because he was voted off before her.

Finale should have been Scotty and James.

AI needs to go to one phone = one vote or something. The unlimited calling doesn't work, IMO.

Agree, but thinking about it they are only concerned with ratings.

” I think Lauren should have gone home.”

Who do you favor then. Scotty or Haley?

I’ll respect your opinion either way, as after all we can
agree to disagree as you know I was a James fan, and would support Lauren.

Too busy tweeting and not voting?

Interesting that facebook is so accurate and saying that Scotty had double the likes of James last week.

James shocker. Scotty needs to lose the plaid. It looks really bad on tv and he looks like Opie of Mayberry, not the next AI.

The root of all evil is located in the basement of BOA HQ. There is no doubt.

Actually, I just caught my typo. I didn’t mean to type Lauren. I meant Haley should have gone home. I’m still waking up. Sorry about the confusion.

Guy and Ralna on Lawrence Welk Show wanted to get a divorce years before they actually did cuz they didn't want to make LW mad.

Kids weren't on the Welk Show Christmas specials after they hit 12 bec he didn't want to pay them as required by law. So, when you saw performers' children disappear, it was cuz they hit 12 yrs old. I have a lot on Lawrence Welk Show (sat on LW's lap when I was 5 at a Welk daytime bash-party).

The songs on Lawrence Welk were often really old so he wouldn't have to pay for copyright use.

He was a major cheapskate and was obsessive compulsive control freak.

Their fans on PBS have no idea that most of the band is deceased.

Dick Dale saved me from drowning in his kidney shaped pool when I was 5 or 6. I was hanging on to the side of the pool and my arms slipped. I was seriously drowning and he pulled me out and saved my life. Thank u, Dick Dale who is still alive.

I wonder if James peaked too soon. He wasn’t my favorite, but I liked him over Haley. Having said that though, I think James had a few performances that were off.

I really think Haley made it through because the judges Randy and JLo were so nasty to her. The judges are not supposed to be biased, their job is to critique. She’s the only one they critiqued so meanly. What happened? Their favorite was sent packing, while the one they threw under the bus stayed.
