At the top of the show on "American Idol," viewers saw a montage of video of previous Idols on their trips back home. The three contestants who make it through will be making a trip home as conquering heroes, so to speak. Who will it be?

I'm getting tired of Haley being thrown under the bus by Randy and J-Lo. J-Lo seems to forget that when she came out as a singer, she didn't do it with "the hit songs that everybody knows," so again the opportunity to judge Haley as an artist? Lost. Kudos to Steven for supporting her (and I can tell he's getting fed up with the unfairness of it all, having been an Aerosmith fan for years and watched TONS of behind the scenes stuff with the band.)

David Cook put it best on Twitter (he got crap over singing Switchfoot's "Dare You to Move" on the top 3, if you remember): "These judges are getting increasingly infuriating."

I didn't bother watching Scotty or Lauren's, to be honest, because I can't stand them. The whole "I needed to kiss my crucifix" after being with Gaga from Scotty, or Lauren's idiotic "I don't want to say I'm evil" thing? *facepalm*

Their comments about the song were ridiculous, because I've heard a lot of songs this season that I didn't recognize. It's more about the performance than about how well the song is known. Don't forget: if songs are too well know, there's always going to be comparisons drawn. I wanted to kiss Steven for having Haley's back.

J. Lo made it clear that the judges are pulling heavy for Lauren, but I just haven't seen it from her. She's had plenty of time to come out of her shell, and I just don't think she's ready for it.

Don't know if Scotty was kissing his crucifix because he had to be near Gaga or because the talk of sexuality made him uncomfortable. I can't wait to see what Joel on "The Soup" will do with Lauren's "I'm evil" lyrics this week!
