JENA owned the show and especially the ending last night, I really hope she wins

I think Jena would make the best winner for the show, she's the most mainstream of the 4 and the closest thing to the "whole package". I like Jessica but she didn't do too well last night and has struggled all season, some people are just not "tv singers". Alex has always bored me to tears, and Caleb is an outdated one trick pony who's shtick has gotten stale.

pretty much Outcast.

Jena's really grown on me. Part of it is she has had a growth arc, which is something that I always like to see with contestants..the other part is girl is just dominating.

I thought Jessica took two steps backwards after having two solid weeks in a row. It was almost like she wanted to go home. Her last performance was probably the second best of the round..(Caleb and Alex doing their one trick pony thing..) but it probably won't be enough.

Not sure who I want in the finale with Jena. I like Jessica the second best. If she has performances like "summertime sadness" then it would be a great finale..but if it's like "So what"...she'd just get her butt kicked by Jena. Caleb probably deserves it. But the guy keeps coming off as a jerk (through his own mouth, not from Idol's editing..) and it's become obvious he isn't versital at all. Alex would be a nice contrast to Jena...but instead of fearing that he'd get his ass handed to him by Jena, I know he would.

I think Jena will win it. She's the most interesting and dynamic performer. I agree with the comments about the others. That said, while I think Jena is very engaging, I just can't get into her voice.

Ben Briley sings Haley's: "Bennie & The Jets" then gets eliminated.
Jess Meuse sings Haley's: "You & I" then gets eliminated.

Other songs they sung this year that Haley covered on Idol:
"Long & Winding Road" (Malaya) "Rhiannon" & GunPowder & Lead" (Jessica) "Rolling In The Deep" (Jena)

Jessica also sang "Call Me."

I felt bad for Jessica. She had a beautiful effortless voice, always on pitch as far as I'm concerned. She should still be there. She got slammed so often by the judges, yet she took it like a champ and always had a positive attitude. I wish her the best and hope Idol gives her a big career boost.

Good to see Haley get a little feature during the show, "that's what 30,000 people look like right there baby!"

I was hoping they would show my poster on tv again but they didnt. Great to see a Haley moment on tv

I thought, based on performances last night..that was probably the best choice. Caleb and Alex did their one trick..but they do their one trick well. Jessica didn't perform well for two out of three of her songs.

And in the past year, I think I've heard a majority of Haley's songs sung on Idol and The Voice. The Voice this year (S5/S6) had "Rolling In The Deep" "Piece of My Heart" "Bennie and the Jets" "House of the Rising Sun" "You Oughta Know" and as far as I'm concerned "Wild Horses" is a Haley cover too.
