<p>rom, I cam on here to post this: [Scotty</a> McCreery Surprised By Josh Turner At Homecoming Concert - Reality Rocks](<a href=“http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/422536/scotty-mccreery-surprised-by-josh-turner-at-homecoming-concert/]Scotty”>http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/422536/scotty-mccreery-surprised-by-josh-turner-at-homecoming-concert/)</p>

<p>There’s video imbedded in the story. It tells a lot. Apparently, is a very strong Christian, which tells us why 1) he loves Josh Turner and “Long, Black Train” so much, and 2) his reaction to Lady Gaga. If you stick with the whole video he quotes Scripture at the end.</p>

<p>I grew up on country music so I love Scotty (though, when singing side by side with Turner, his vocals obviously aren’t as rich, though still good).</p>

<p>Those are softball choices for Scotty and Lauren.</p>

<p>Oh my, how incredibly embarrassing for Haley. But she handled it with grace!</p>

583

<p>She did and sounded great.</p>

584

<p>I loved her performance! Gutsy move, that song. The fall didn’t detract from it at all, she recovered easily.</p>

585

<p>What was embarrassing for Haley?</p>

586

<p>She fell!!!</p>

587

<p>… in what looked like at least 4" heels, going up the steps in front of the judges.</p>

588

<p>I imagine Steven got quite the show</p>

589

<p>Oh I wasnt devoting my full attn to the TV hahaa</p>

590

<p>I am just shocked that has not happened to one of the contestants earlier.</p>

591

<p>Love this “If I Die Young” song. Perfect for her.</p>

592

<p>did the first part of Haley’s Led Zep song remind any one else of Maria Muldaur but more on pitch? (don’t flame me for that. Maria had her own deal, made up for it and I saw her several times)</p>

593

<p>I have never been a big idol watcher. Surprised how the finalists (except Haley) tend so “Country” in style. But I am relieved to not have to listen to the constant embellishing that characterized so many early idol finalists. I loved Haley’s performance (the first one) with her dad. Did not even notice her fall till the judges pointed out how very well she handled it. Then i re-wound the DVR and watched it. I am VERY impressed with her poise.</p>

594

<p>Who do you guys will think in the finale? I think Scotty and Haley!</p>

595

<p>Love the dads tonight! Haley’s dad playing the guitar on her Led Zeppelin song was so cool. And Scotty’s dad singing “Baby, lock them doors and turn the lights down low” - priceless! :D</p>

<p>Lauren didn’t impress me at all tonight. I hope it’s Scotty and Haley in the finale, too, and I’d be happy with either one of them winning.</p>

596

<p>Haley=screaming/growling </p>

<p>Scotty should win it, but who knows how the public is going to vote.</p>

597

<p>I think it’ll be a twangy twins finale, and I for one will not be watching for the first time since the show debuted. I don’t care for country music anyway, and Scotty’s type of singing makes my skin crawl (I have to leave the room when he opens his mouth), while Lauren is the most generic female country singer ever. What a disappointing season. it’s like the Tea Party took over Idol…</p>

598

<p>MommaJ, that last comment cracked me up! Thanks.</p>

<p>I have to quit clicking on this thread before AI comes on on the West Coast…</p>

<p>Lauren needs to fire her clothing stylist for the 1st number. I’m not sure there could have been a more unflattering, unattractive outfit on her. 2nd and 3rd song dresses were very nice…but that first one was a reject.</p>

<p>Not surprised at all to hear about Scotty’s strong religious background. I still think that’s the reason why earlier in the competition he didn’t sing the Harry Nilsson song he had rehearsed – that was from Midnight Cowboy.</p>

<p>It’s time for another girl to win. I think it might be Haley.</p>
