After last night’s “Hallelujah” moment, courtesy of Mr. Simon Cowell, It’s a pretty safe bet to figure that Lee DeWyze is safe, safe, safe. (He’s probably going to win the title, but that’s another post).
So, who goes home tonight? Crystal Bowersox or Casey James?
After Crystal’s less then stellar performance last night, my initial reaction was to worry for her safety. And actually, I think there’s a chance she could be eliminated tonight.
However, after thinking about it, I think it’s likely that Casey is going home. His personal choice, “OK, It’s Alright With Me” was too unfamiliar and too laid back to impress Idol viewers.
And his judges choice, “Daughter” while good, wasn’t outstanding. Casey came into last night at a disadvantage. He needed a breakout moment to propel him into the final. He came up short.
So, riding on momentum, Crystal advances to the final with Lee, and TPTB get the final two they’ve been craving.
Over at the Los Angeles Times Buzzmeter the pundits are unanimous. Casey James is going home.
