It's Elton time

And so we begin with a look back on last week's tumultuous results show. So much energy. And there are still 11. JLo / STy fashion showdown. Look JLo: One shouldered slim deep pink mini dress with sleek straight long hair. Look STy: White jeans, printed shirt and a black blazer. The win would go to JLo, but I am distracted by Ryan's new hair style. Looks good! Contestants get glammed up for an EW photo shoot. Good looking cast this season. 2 of them are going home tomorrow. Scotty does some country song by Elton. He gave a shout out to Grandma in the song. He really knows his genre -- a country crowd would have loved that shout out. And an American flag would have come out behind him. I was not impressed with this performance. Smart to hit the bottom with the end note, all the judges were smiling, but he needs something else. Steven liked it, JLo is wearing the biggest hoop earrings I have ever seen. Randy thinks he has really become comfortable and loved it. Maybe my fever right now is affecting me. B- Naima -- "I'm Still Standing" reggae style. Hate this song and hate reggae so you can imagine where I am headed. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be to be honest, but this girl's road needs to come to an end this week. JLo tried to compliment her while telling her this was a dumb idea. Randy said it was corny. Steven thought it suited her. Whatever. C+ Paul -- He's pretty cute. "Rocket Man" He is wearing his white rose suit again. His voice sounds great. Jimmy has encouraged all of them to speak to the audience. I'm not in to this. I like the build into a jam. A little too calm for me. JLo thinks he is holding back and I agree. B Pia -- "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" She went for the ballad, but she is good at that. They are going to add rock flavor to the ballad. She is rocking a hot sparkly mini, just like Jlo. A whole gaggle of backup singers join her. She soars through the song. Well done. Steven says "it was a complete and full sentence." JLo felt there was more of a connection, agree. Randy says she can sing. A- Stefano -- "Tiny Dancer" Jimmy thinks it is too hard for his voice. Good choice for him. He's still not my cup of tea, but he is not on the bottom for me this week. Cute ending walk over to Jennifer to take her hand. The judges felt the connection. B+ Lauren -- "Candle in the Wind" She has a great look tonight. Absolutely loved this. Felt like Trisha Yearwood crossed with Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks. She sang in this sweet spot in her voice. Fantastic for me. Buying the single. Randy called it one of the best Lauren Alaina performances ever. Steven said "I've loved you since the first time you laid eyes on me." Nice for her to stay in the same spot and focus. A James -- "Saturday Night's Alright" Great song for him. Wow split in the air. Got up on the piano which then lit on fire. Despite all the antics, he kept it going with his voice. Great, really, really great. A- Thia -- "Daniel" Jimmy tells her it is a make or break moment. Why does she not seem real to me? She has a great voice, but I do not connect with her at all. Time to go Thia. Time to go. C+ Casey -- "Your Song" Rodney Jerkins told him to trim the beard and get a haircut. That he was scaring people. He looks great. And his voice is super sweet. He is really singing this week, not growling. Wow this season is so good. So very good. Then he really went for it at the end so we remembered all the facets of his voice. What a great musician. Randy loved it. Steven said he sings differently every time and that that shows a true artist. Randy tried to show his prowess by naming the note Casey hit at the end. A- Jacob -- "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word" Jacob got to meet Mary J. Blige during his rehearsal. Jimmy says he should not over dramatize it. Umm have you met Jacob? He definitely did the Mary J version of this song. He always sings well but the diva was a bit too much for me tonight. Randy thought he needed to find a Jacob spot and then rambled on about other stuff I didn't pay attention to. B Haley -- Wow she gets the end spot? "Benny and the Jets" Wow, let's see what she does. Fresh sound, great tone in her voice. JLo was really getting into it. I loved it because Haley just went for it. She has spunk and a nice big voice. JLo said that was it! Haley has swagger. Randy said best performance of the night. Steven said she sings sexy. A Scotty B- Naima C Paul B Pia A- Stefano B+ Lauren A James A- Thia C+ Casey A- Jacob B Haley A It is time for Thia and Naima to go home. Wow, need to start voting stat!! Don't be ashamed of your obsessions...and trying a new hair style like Ryan or Casey.
