I'm kind of tired of Paul, very little versatility, in my opinion. Doesn't enunciate well, lets words drag out unfinished, often bland. He can do Rod Stewart tunes very well, tho!
That's just my opinion..........James and Casey are much more versatile.
I like Jacob too, but once again, he runs the risk of being one-dimensional. He can tear Motown tunes up, he has the same soul as singers like Michael McDonald, James Ingram, guys like that.

An artist doesn't have to be jack of all trades... master something really well. He's Mr. Smooth on the stage... great performance charisma... and his voice is unique. I think he's going to be a star no matter what happens on AI this year.
Comparing Jacob to Michael McDonald is a HUGE compliment to Jacob IMO, though I like his voice. MM is a soul legend...

Anyhow... I'm not disappointed with the results either. Naima was obvious. I'm surprised she even made it this far really. Her vocals have never been pleasant to the ears. She's a good entertainer overall, but not a strong vocal talent AT ALL. Every single performance has been pitchy. IMO she shouldn't have been in Top 24 (Karen either).
Thia has likability factor, but her age has shown. She's lacked confidence, which comes out as a lack of charisma on stage (personality-less, dull performances, and performances that were always too safe). She's got a bright future though, even if she doesn't get picked up by Disney in the coming year 
From here on out, good singers will go home. We know that.
I was a little shocked to see Paul in the Bottom 3, to be honest, but it was reflective of the performances last night. Haley did very well. But her and Stefano are next to go (though he is solid every single week, he is missing that "special something" I think... I really like him and hope he finds a good niche in the industry... his version of Smokie Norful was a defining moment for him).
My top 3 are:
Casey
Paul
Pia
2 of my Top 3 have been in the bottom 3 already, which has surprised me.
I think James Durbin continues to deliver and he may break into my Top 3. Same goes for Lauren Alaina -- though, Lauren tends to play it safe, and depend on overall solid vocals and a whole lot of charm.
If I had to pick today, I'd say Casey wins this thing... no joke. And yes, Ryan, we want to know how many votes he received! I think I have underrated James Durbin, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's my upset.

Must've been a different NOW. I sure didn't say that.

Re: American Idol Season 10 ~ 2011
I think Paul should be the next to go home. He is a personable guy and from my area but in my opinion his vocals are weak. He is a one trick pony with his vocal stylings and doesn't have enough range or strong enough of a voice to be great.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Oh wow. No, Paul offers something different from the usual BLAH.
There are some very successful artists with similar traits. It's not "one trick" anymore than Michael McDonald's husky voice is "one trick," anymore than Luther Vandross's tone and ballads are "one trick" and anymore than Adam Levine... Even Scotty isn't one trick, though his "big trick" is his deep baritone he slides in each song -- or Jacob Lusk and James Durbin's high octaves they push into each performance.
