full idol recap later today

Quick initial thoughts:

Best performance on first glance: Scotty doing "She Believes in Me".
Worst performance on first glance: Lauren doing "Wild One"
Best performer overall on first glance: Haley.
Worst performer overall on first glance: Lauren.
Most shocking development: no Syesha Mercado Memorial Screw Job from the judges towards Haley in their song selection.
Most impressive performance: Haley doing "What Is and Never More Should Be".
Least impressive performance: Lauren doing "Wild One".

My finale: Haley v Scotty.
Pick to go home: Lauren.

Full recap coming later today. Unless the Royals once again stage an epic ninth inning rally, like last night. Too bad last night's fell just a bit short of a full recovery ...
