@Suxela Did you hear him say it? ("I thought Pearl Harbor was just a movie.")

@Jordan2 I feel bad for him, too, for that reason. I wonder what his story with his family is. He's the only one without family it seems.
A lot of people do not have close families. Why is that so important? Do you have to be kissy kissy with your family to become famous? No. It is not an important factor in singing....other than looking cute on Mother's Day hugging your Mother and playing THAT vote card. American Idol is all reality show staging big time.

I think they went into the studio to record a song. I’d they do a original I hope it is one of their own and not one shoved down their throats like last year.
I actually thought that Alejandro sang three more "sound-alike songs that were right in his wheelhouse-NOT a stretch at all. How about Lacey's Elton John song-def a stretch for her.

I love Laines originals. Still hoping maybe he will sing one on the finale. If they do a original one of his will be so much better then giving them a terrible song someone else wrote. I don’t know if any of you are familiar with Jamie O’Neal. She was popular in the 99’s or early 2000’s. I can’t remember. She took Laine under her wing after he first tried out did idol and he didn’t make it past Hollywood. She produced his originals.

@Leelee1123 Thanks for posting that. I do like that better than what he does on AI. The video that I saw wasn't the full song though. I couldn't find the full song.
He does it again along with 2 other songs (also originals?) In a Nashville bar "The Listening Room" April 2018

You can buy Laines originals on iTunes . The studio versions can be heard on YouTube on the account Laine Hardy Topic.

@Jordan2 and an extra kudos to Alejandro for not playing the sympathy card for extra votes!

Edited because I didn't mean to hit post. I have such a problem posting on this site.
Laine is cute and looks like what they'd want in an idol, but he sounds like any halfway decent singer in any karaoke bar. I'm starting to think Alejandro might win.
@VanSleepy Madison's smiling when she sings is at the wrong times too- she's smiling when she sings raw emotional tunes like' What About Us' and the song from The Greatest Showman! She needs delve into the lyrics and understand them fully- so her stage presence and facial expressions emote the songs.

I must agree...wonder why AI doesn’t give the contestants more guidance?
By the time they reach the final 5 or so, it seems that they would arrange tunes for performances if necessary.
Last night I was stunned, one again, at Alejandro’s talent!
I’m going to miss Laci Kaye, but might have to catch her on her own album if she releases one.
Madison started screeching during songs at the last two or three times.
There is a video advertising the final night. It looks really good! 🤞🏼
