Right about now, if I were Lazaro, I'd feel like crap. It's one thing to try and fail. Quite another thing to appear to not even give a damn, in fact, to act cocky about it.

To me, it looks like he is quite comfortable in accepting the 'pity card'. He has to know that about now, even if the others don't say so, he is very unliked. Especially, with that attitude, while others are watching their dreams disintegrate.

Devin's time was probably up soon anyway, but he was the 'professional' in that group song that fell flat by trying to cover for Lazaro when he missed his line (among other things). And for Lazaro to go to his "I didn't know the song" AGAIN....? For him to not take some responsibility, to me, shows his true colours. That he is not this unfortunate, brave guy, overcoming adversity. That, in fact, he's a, I don't give an Eff about anyone else, Pr!ck

(The above comment is based on the performance night. I haven't seen what occurred elimination night, yet. Just woke up, here in Paris, and only following along on the vids at MJs ....Did lazaro at least do a 'Mea Culpa'? )

yea, tell me about it...I'm in a "American Idol" pool at work and if it weren't for this guy, I'd be on top right now. I had him eliminated a long time ago. I had Devon around #7 and Paul around #9 a week or two ago. He looks so awkward up there. Nice guy but his voice isn't the greatest and he doesn't have much stage presence.

I think that Candice is still the one to beat and-except for Amber nobody did anything to change my opinions of any of them.I thought that Amber went beyond the generic/Whitney thing I had been hearing and brought her won distinctive sound to the song.And technically there was little to criticize about it.Still,for me Candice carried the night-and I've heard many versions of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"-but never with a shuffle beat and she wailed on it.
As for the other three girls.I think that Angie showed her limitations and I really didn't get all the hoopla over Janelle's version of the song-as Randy might say-for me it was just O.K.Same for Kree.

I have a feeling Candice is dominating the voting. I could be completely wrong. But she's getting terrible performance slots. TPTB only do that for two reasons. First reason is to try to get rid of someone. (Much more effective than having the judges bash said contestant. See DeAndre, and actually I think when Jessica was eliminated they knew her votes were lower than they wanted, so they had her go second knowing she'd at least be in the bottom 3.) Or, they do it because they know, no matter what..that person isn't going to get eliminated.

I think Candice is loved universally by the judges, the producers, 19, and Jimmy. Meaning this is similar to the Scotty situation. Where, they know they can put her anywhere in the lineup, and she's going to make it through.

That being said, I honestly think Janelle is going to win.

Also, I know Amber is good. And she's got everything you could want in a winner. But I honestly just don't like her tone.

I supported Lazaro a week ago. I thought they were trying to throw him under the bus. And he seemed like a sweet guy who just had a problem. This week, I agree with Tusk, he showed his true colors. The funny thing is, I ended up becoming a fan of Devin. (The sass, and the fact that he was the professional during it.)

I think Nikki was really turned off by Devin "throwing the other two under the bus" but he honestly had a right too.

Spoiler Alert! Here's @IAmCaseyAbrams interviewing tonight's eliminated @AmericanIdol contestant for @THR.

Good lord....Casey looks like he's lost a LOT of weight!
Hope everything is going well, health wise, and he's just growing into his adult body.

I think he's fine. Probably changed his eating habits and is getting more exercise.

Yea, if he'd shave his beard we could probably tell whether this was a healthy weight loss or not. (Never change Casey!)

Minaj would not save Devin to spite Mariah. We haven't seen the end of this shindig.

Why Janelle? I don't see her as having the same appeal-or abilities,for that matter that say Lauren -or Scotty from S10 had.
