JLo and STy fashion showdown -- Look JLo: White turtleneck mini dress with embroidered lace long sleeves and high, slick ponytail. Look STy: Purple glitter duster coat with black tank, black pants and green metallic clover necklace. STy gets the win for crazy in purple glitter.


Group number with all songs with the word Born in the title because the theme was the year the contestant was born -- Born to be Wild and Born This Way mixed together. No, too soon to touch Gaga's new song, but was a more exciting medley since it wasn't from 1969. And was not lip synced because Jacob's mic went out.


Okay, re-cap on last night -- Pia and Stefano were great and Karen, Thia and probably Naima are in the bottom. Hopefully Karen.

Another lame Ford commercial and then a great clip reel of the contestants talking about their accents, the languages they speak, their pets. Those are great.

Results: Jacob, Casey and Lauren brought to the center. Love that Ryan asked Randy how contestants can overcome pitch problems. He who does not sing said they have to hear the note and sing it (DUH DUH DUH) while JLo, a kind of singer, explained that sometimes on that stage it is hard to hear the note or if you are singing it correctly over the music and that they are going to work on that (the sound people, I assume) TA DAH! Helpful notes finally after 9 years of "pitchiness."

Jacob is safe, Lauren is safe, Casey is safe.

Hayley and Paul to center. Hayley is in bottom 3, Paul is safe.

Cut to Pitbull, Mark Anthony and a guy who looks like Kenny Rogers in the audience. Lee Dewyze comes out and sings Beautiful Like You. Haven't heard it before. Not a hit song, but I still like his voice and this is the style of music I thought he would make. Props.

Scotty, Pia and James to center. Scotty is safe. I mean every time he is on there is reference to the Josh Turner song -- finale show (where the top 10 sing with other musical stars), obvi Josh needs to sing with him. Pia is safe, James with the Jovi is safe.

Stefano and Naima to center. Naima is in the bottom 3. Stefano is safe and super short by the way.

Karen and Thia to the center. Thia is safe and Karen is in the bottom. Okay, almost my picks. Hayley, Karen and Thia are in the bottom.

Black Eyed Peas dedicate "I Just Can't Get Enough" a dance tune about being addicted to love to Japan -- what? Fergie rocks a Marilynesque halter dress with natural hair look - liked it. Boring. Fergie needs to do a solo album again.

Naima is safe. Good. (Jen I know you wanted her to go!) Karen and Hayley. Karen is out. THANK GOD. Listen people, I know what should happen. I really hope JLo doesn't have to deliver the news to her that she is not safe. Since JLo played Selena and Karen is a Selena stalker, I think this would be dangerous. I give credit to Karen that she can sing and she did sing well to try to save herself, but the judges cannot use the save on her. Not unanimous (Jlo pushed her chair from the table) but Karen is out. JLo went to the stage to hug her. The judges were giving her a lot of support.

Ok, as JayZ says, "on to the next one!"

Don't be ashamed of your obsessions...
